ELECTION TODAY

Referendum election is being held
in North Dakota today. The polls will
open at 9 o'clock and will remain
open until 9 tonight. This will give
opportunity for an immense vote and
1t il believed thu biggest vote in the
history of the state will be polled.
The campaign has been unusually
quiet in Dickey county. One hopeful
sign was the fact that many Nonpar.
tisans were willing to listen to the
other side, something unusual in the
past two campaigns. Both sides are
claiming victory. It looks like a close
rub, and 1t may be several days be.
fore the result is known.

Over On Roosevelt Memorial.

P. M. Harding, who has charge
of the Theodore Roosevelt Memoir
ial Fund drive in the Nezperee
district, states that the business
men and farmers are coming
through" handsomely, with only
few exceptions, and that this
precinct will meet its quota and
then some. He is still receiving
subscriptions, as there are some
he has not yet had a chance to
solicit and he does not want TO
slight anyone.
1t is fitting that our country
properly recognize the magnlf!-
cent service Of this great Amerl-
can leader with memorial IN
keeping with the largeness OF that
service. and the Nezperce com
munity, recognizing this, is meas
uring up to her apportionment, as
she has done in every demand
backed by the national honor and
glory. That the balance OF the
county G will give the same answer
in this call, there is no reason 10
doubt.

produced exceptional yields OF
grain and silage in several Sec

The Rochdale Co. Gets Judgment
For $500.

In the suit of the Nezperc,
Rochdale Co. against the Burrel
Engineering & Construction Co
nd-others, heard at special tern
of the district court in this city
on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
this week before Judge E. c.
Steele, a verdict was given the
plaintiffs for the full amount
tsued for-$1, 500.
The case was called at $50
O'clock Tuesday morning and
within an hour jury had been
selected and, following the state
ment Of the case, the examination
Of witnesses was begun. Some
twelve witnesses testified. The
lawyers finished their argument
and the case was given to the
jury at 5:45 yesterday evening.
At $50 the same evening the ver-
dict, signed by nine Of the jury
men, was brought into court and,
following the customary formali-
ties, final adjournment was tax
len.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs
were f. Z. Fogg, Of Grangeville,
and G. H. Nugent, of Nezpercc,
and f. S. Randall, of Lewiston,
pleaded for the defendants.
The action was brought about
by defects in the construction of
three grain elevators for the plain
tiffs by the defendant company
one at this point, one at Greer and
one at Harris siding. The Bur-
rell Co.. had filed $500 bond on
each Of the elevators, guarantee.
ing its repair and maintenance
for one year. The concrete pits
over which the elevators were
built proved to be defective, in
that they admitted water which
damaged the machinery and grain
placed in them. The evidence
clearly showed this condition to
exist and also that the defendants
admitted the condition, but, after
being duly notified by the plain
tiffs Of the defects, the defendant
company failed to make good or
repair the defective pits.
It is not anticipated that an ap-
peal will be taken for the find
ings in this trial.
Judge Steele was engaged to try
the case because Judge Scales,
whose district this is, had been
interested as an attorney. with
parties to the action.
The jury was made up of the
following gentlemen:
Ellis II. West, foreman; j. G
Lynn, j. M. Bettis, Ed. Hoss, d.
w. Tefft, f. M. Fox, Levy Dyb-

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 81
Ready to leave Springfield early
tomorrow morning for Indiana
polls to assume active charge of
the threatened strike of soft coal
miners, beginning Friday at mid
might. John L. Lewis, acting Pres
ident of the United Mine Workers
of America, declared tonight the
strike order was still in effect and
that the 100000 miners in the BIZ
luminous field would walk out to
man, unless the operators made
concessions.
The statement of President
Wilson opposing the strike has
thus far had no results SO far as
we are concerned, Lewis said,
No word reached him, he stated,
from government sources during
the day.
Branding statements that coal
miners were earning $40 or $l5
a day as absurd" !" Mr.. Lewis
said the average pay of miners in
the bituminous field for the year
1918, which he declared was the
best IL months in mine workers
annals. was 1929 year. He de
clined. to make a statement as to
what the maximum earnings Of
a miner under favorable circum-
stances might be, but said the
earnings of ebay men, amounted
to between 1925 and SIS day.
These include track layers, driv-
ers, mechanics and laborers. Coal
diggers he admitted, can make
more money than that
Washington, Oct. 28.-HoW to
deal with the soft coal strike, in
event the miners, ignoring Presi-
dent Wilson's command to stay on
the job, walked out Friday night,
was definitely agreed upon today
at a two hour meeting of the cab
net.
The plan Of action was not dis
losed, but it. is known that the
cabinet stood as one man for pro-
lection of the rights of the pub
lie which would suffer with the
closing of the mines in which or
linarily more than 100000 mem-1

If America are employed.
But while steps already taken
md which might be regarded as
drastic, were approved, Secretary
Lansing, who presided, brought |
word from the meeting that the
was not hopeless. All
lay the belief had grown that the
executive board at
is meeting tomorrow at Indiana
oolis would postpone the strike at
east. Hope was expressed IN
quarters that the strike
would be called off by the men
who had called it, but officials
declined to say whether this was
based upon information purport-
ng to convey some idea as to the1
attitude of the union.
