.LICHTEST VOTE
 IN HISTORY OF
 ISLAND IS CAST
Storm Causes at Least 100 Voters to Remain at Home; Only 213 Votes
 on the Island.

DOUGLAS, Nov 6.-The Highest vote in the hostory of the Island for many years was cast at the general election yesterday. Owing to the SC verity of the storm and no means of conveyance, there were many vot CTS who did not attempt to brave the elements.
 It was estimated that there should have been at least 200 votes in Douglas Precinct No. 1, while only 109 were cast. In Precinct No. 2 of Douglas, there should have been at least 100 votes cast where the returns showed but 45.
 Treadwell Precinct boiled but 59 votes where 100 voters at least were expected to report. Many voters, particularly women who live below Treadwell at The Pines, found that the task of walking the long dis tance to the polls too difficult, SC remained at home.
 , J. White, for Territorial Repre- sentativce, ran away ahead of the ticket, Jack Wilson for road commis sioner being next in the lead. Wick ersham had a plurality of IA votes over Sulzer on the Island, E. c. Rus sell for Territorial Senator, winning over Britt by twelve votes.

IS HISTORIC SPOT
The Deceased Owner Was Part of Early History and Incidents of
 Juneau.

Judge N. l.. Burton, United States Commissioner, has signed an order to have China Joe's House on the corner of Main and Third Strets torn down.

China Joe by trade wos a baker and he established the first bakery in Jul neau. Still in the early sos there was flour famine in Juneau. The boats were few and far between in those days. The flour was con trolled by few merchants who had it in stock-and by China Joe.
 China Joe came to the rescue and loaned his flour to the prospectors in Juneau, Cn condition that they would pay it back to him when the boats arrived in the Spring. In this way he won a warm place in the hearts of Juneah*s old-timers.
 III IoODs lliC tilIC ol t.lt anti-Chineae agitation which was stirring the whole West against the Orientals, there was crew of China men employed by the Treadwell Company Othis was before it was the property of the present owners) and the people around the channel, urged by the feeling that was caus- ing Chinese riots in Seattle and in other coast cities, decided to drive them out of Alaska.
 The sourdoughs immediately came to the rescue of China Joe. He, who had saved the day in the winter of the flour famine, should not be driven from them in this manner. Chian Joe, of all the Chanamen in Alaska, was allowed to stay.
 His business thriyeG and he be. came prosperous, but his bakery al. ways occupied the same little build. ing.
