TAME ELECTION.

The municipal election Tuesday
was the tamest affair of the kind that
the town has ever experienced, show
ing that the population was either
perfectly satisfied with the nominal
tons made at the public caucus. or
they are perfectly Indifferent about
municipal matters. In past years some
of the most exciting elections this
town has experienced has been over
the choice of mayor and town
council, though occasionally there Is
fight over the choice of school d.
rectors, when a stranger in our midst
would be led to think that the very
existence of the county depended upon
the selection of candidate to fill
that thankless office. Up to o'clock
Tuesday afternoon only six votes had
been cast, and the total vote polled
numbered only 80, out of a possible
200, when the election officers de-
clared the polls closed. The result of
the vote was as follows: For treas
urer, w. B. Mishler 20. Councilmen
for two years, F. V. Covert 80 Chas.
A. Powell 80. Councilman for one
year, J. F. Samson 80, w. J. Frank 81.
The council is made up of business
men and property holders and with
out doubt these gentlemen will work
for the best interests of the town.
Their motto should be an economical
administration SO far as is compatible
with the good of the municipality.

1t is reported that the road between
Oroville and the Canadian line is to
undergo much needed improvement
this winter. There is hardly any short
stretch of highway in the county that
is in greater need of improvement nor
one over which there is more travel.

The people have raised a kick for
improved freight and passenger SER
vice over the Great Northern railroad
between Keremeos and Vancouver
and the railroad commission Of British
Columbia have read the riot act to the
officials of that railroad. Results fav-
oring the people Of Keremeos arc sure
to follow. 1t is really refreshing to
note how the railroad commission over
the line acts. There is no hemming and
having, no bucking nor filling, no cir
cumlocution or procrastination as Is
too often the case with the same body
of officials over on this side of the
border. They had a just complaint
presented to their attention and they
demanded that the cause Of ccm-
plant be rectified. When the railroad
officials and attorney declared that 1t
would require two months to make
the desired change the commissioners
emphatically stated the change would
be made in 80 days, willy nilly. Now
what do you know about that? Over
here the road would get the two
months and probably then some. We
are rather inclined to favor the British
Columbia system where justice regu-
lates the action of the commissioners.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-19

The object of this association has always been to deal with all cases for the best interest of the people con cerned and for the good of the district generally. Many times aid has been refused when it was considered that such cases were unworthy of aid, and while some may have received help who were not worthy of it, we nave, nevertheless, endeavored to give any and all cases reported to us the atten- tion they should have.
 Again thanking all who have helped US in our work during the year.
 Respectfully submitted,
 WARREN DISTRICT RELIEF ASSO- CLAYTON, by Esther Cummings,
 General Secretary. At this meeting the following off cers and members were elected on the board of control for the ensuing year:
 President, M. Newman; vice presi- dent, Arthur Notman; treasurer, F. c. Henrie; Col. J. c. Greenway; Prof c. F. Philbrook; Prof. Chas. F. Willis, Rev. c. Mandin. Rev. c. W. Harshman,
Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-19

In submitting report of the work of the Warren District Relief Asso- citation for the year ending August 31st, 1919, it will be seen that there has been all increase in the amount of relief extended over the ordinary work of previous years.
 The reason for this has benn chief ly on account of so much illness dur ing the year. and according to reports of other charitable and relief organ izations our experience has been about the same as others throughout the United States, as many families hay ing been left without a bread-winner were compelled to have temporary aid at least until other resources were available for their support.
 Among the eirht-two families That received temporary aid through this Association during the year siXty-five their homes, while thera were alto gether seventeen tubercular cases in cluding the individual and transient cases. Thirty nine of these eight-two families given help were MeXicans.
 During the influenza epidemic we endeavored to see that all needy fam flies and individuals reported to us were supplied with actual necessities, and also that someone was sent to care for the sick. It was impossible to obtain many women who had been accustomed to nursing, although twen- ty- two women and girls were employ ed by us at various times during the influenza epidemic to do the best they could in caring for the sick, and these with the help of a visiting nurse en- abled us to give aid to most of the cases reported to us. During this time and after thee eppidemic ceased tn Warren Mining District Chapter of the local Red Cross re-embursed us with all amounts expppended on these cas- es, as we'll as having paid for the ser vices of visiting nurse as long as she was needed. This prevented the pos sibility of overlapping, as some of these families might otherwise have

obtained help through both organiza- tions.
 Widow Helped
 There is still one family receiving continued aid each month through the local Red Cross Chapter, which is a widow with four small children. A number of the widowed mothers left with children under sixteen years of age are now obtaining an allotment under the State Child Welfare Law, but there are equally as many unable to obtain this allotment on account of their husbands not having been Amer jeans born or American citizens. Thir- ty widows with families received more or less temporary aid through us, be- sides fifteen deserted mothers.
 Very few transients have come to us for aid, which is a good indication that work is plentiful, while most of thase who did come to us were either tub bercular or afflicted in some way, if rot past the age of usefulness.
 In the thirteen cases of transporta- tion furnished by us nine were on ac-

Red Cross Helps

We are glad to report that the ser vices of the local Red Cross nurse in this district have been offered to the association whenever needed among the poor families, and this work on her part has already proved very effec- tive.
 Through the efforts of one Of the members of the board, Prof. c. F. Will lis, the general secretary, was enabled to attend the National Conference of Social Work held in Atlantic City from June l to s, which conference was an inspiration, and undoubtedly a great benefit to all those attending it who were interested in the farious de partments of social service work.

count of illness, as many i'll people find this altitude too high and are compelled to seek some other location. Most of the employment furnised by us was temporary work for women and girls. While there was so much illness we were able to supply work for almost anyone who's came to u wanting work.
 Most of the clothing that was given out to needy families and individuals was donated to us, which is a great help, as many children could not at tend school without some aid in the way of clothing. The local Red Cross Chapter also donated us several bolts Iof new goods of which 13O yards have been given out to needy mothers to be made up for their children.
 Recital Adds to Fund
 The proceeds of two recitals given by the pupils of Mrs. J. M English and Miss Kathleen Hail, amounting in all to $12S.70, were handed over to this association during the winter months. This amount was very acceptable, as at this particular time one of our most distressing cases was a family of sev- en dependent children where the father was dying of cancer, and had no income whatever. The mother is now receiving widows pension un der the child welfare law.
 At Christmas times we received quite a substantial supply of food and groceries from the Presbyterian and Methodist churches. besides the sum of $2S25 in money from the Presbyte rian church. The Altar society of the Roman Catholic church has also given us regular donation of $5 per month for some years.
 The welfare of children in the dis trict has been very closely connected with the work of this association, as we find that most of the delinquent children come from the poor and un- families, which bears out the fact that so long as poverty exists the standard of living is much lower. Very often the delinquent children belong to some mother who is compelled to go out to work and is unable to care for the children proper ly, and the juvenile court has made it possible for many of these children to be cared for until their mothers can see their way to do so themselves, or mil some other means are DrOVided for children's best interest.

Chemicals
Trading in Heavy Chen,i.
Gals ShotUs Increased
Actiuity

Heavy chemicals are more active
than for several months past. Sales
Of large lots of caustic soda and soda
ash are reported. Bleaching powder
has been in better demand. This ma
terial has been weak for some time,
and producers, as we'll as second hands
have been offering supplies at low
levels. Some Of this cheap material
was undoubtedly of inferior grade
1t has become apparent Of late that
supplies In the hands Of spot dealers
have been much reduced.
Finer chemicals continue rather
quiet. The demand appears to be con-
fined to small lots for the immediate
use OF consumers. Prizes are generally
steady on account Of the fact that sup
plies in the possession of dealers are
rather more limited than they were u
few weeks ago.
In some quarters it is predicted
that the signing of the peace treaty
will result in largc-lot buying.

Propose to Destroy Famous
Niederwald Shaft in RetaIia-
:ion for Fleet Scuttling

PARIS, June 25.-Deputy Peyroux,
of the Federated Republican groups in
the Chamber OF Deputies, and several
of his colleagues introduced a resolu-
ton in the Chamber to-day calling
for the destruction Of the German ma
tional monument on the Niederwald
so as to punish German pride and to
answer the destruction Of the feet at
Scapa Flow and the burning of the
French battle flags Of 1870. The Deputy
requested an immediate discussion.
The German national monument on
the Niederwald is opposite Bingen on
the Rhine, in the French area of occu-
patton. 1t was erected to commemo-
rate the founding of the German En-
pire in 1s70-'71. The monument is on
a hill 740 feet above the Rhine, the
base is rs feet high and a large figure
Of Germania arises to q height Of 80
feet more. 1t is embellished with allie
gorical figures and portraits. The cos.
of the monument was said to have been
about $265 900.

ment Unless Wilson Acts

Indications point to the continued
general sale of beer and light wines
IN New York saloons, restaurants and
hotels after June 80 in the hope Presi-
dent Wilson will suspend or the courts
declare invalid the war time prohibi-
ton act
In the event the President does not
follow up the signing of the peace
treaty by declaring Decentralization eff
fected, the Society of Restaurateurs
plans to invoke a legal test Of the
law IN one Of three WAYS suggested
yesterday by its counsel, William H.
Hirst They are:
BY injunction against enforcement of
the law.
BY testing it in the trial of dealer
arrested for violation; or
by seeking a writ of habeas corpus
for such a violator
The last named method, Mr.. Hirst
thinks, would prove the most expe-
ditious.
Mr.. Hirst, however, has advised his
clients to confine their sale of alcoholic
drinks to beer and light wines, in keep
ing with the views of President vii
son as he expressed in his cabled
message from Paris at the convening
OF the extra session of Congress-
LHllhcAU leSal auChOrltleS retalne d
by the liquor interests are understood
to have agreed that the President has
no power to relax the workings of the
war time prohibition act as regard 5
beer and light wines and retain them in
respect to sDirtuous liquors. They hold
that any prejudicial proclamation that
disqualification had been completed
would suspend the act in its en.iretv
and open the way for the manufacture
and sale of all drinks until the na-
tlonal prohibition amendment taken
effect January 16.
Ml. Hirst said yesterday the Society
Of Restaurateurs had not yet made any
definite plans. He added that, while he
had advised the members the war time
prohibition act was, in his opinion, in
valid there was "no occasion for pre-
cipitate action. He concluded:
AS to the question of the restaurant
men selling beer and wine after July
l, that statement may have come from
some of them because OF my opinion
that it will be patriotic duty and a
prudentsand proper course not to run
athwart the judgment and declaration
of the President, and to keep within the
limits prescribed by him in his last
message to Congress, whatever the
legal rights, unless there be further
developments which may recognize Or
justify a difernt view"
