SMALL VOTE.

Contrary to expectations, the annual
city election, held Tuesday of last
week, proved a rather quiet affair, as
the drilling rain apparently dampened
the ardor Of the candidates and their
supporters. But comparatively few
women voters were out, in spite of the
aldermanic contests in the Second and
Third wards, and a large number of
men also failed to register their pre-
ference.
Only 1,O1O Votes Cast.
b Only 1,O10 votes were cast in the
three wards last Tuesday, compared
with 1886 a year ago, before the adj
vent of woman suffrage, when practi-
scally every man Of voting age in the
city was induced to go to the polls
and cast his vote, Compared with
the number of ballots marked at the
general election last November, in
which the gentle sex also participated,
last Tuesdays battle Of the ballots
was considerably minus, amounting
to only about one third in proportions.
Aufderheide, kuehlbach Win.
Councillor Karl HI. Aufderheide Of the
Second ward was successful in his con-
test for reelection over Herman G..
Vogey his majority being u votes.
Mr.. Aufderheide received $50 ballots,
as against 1873 for his opponent, and
there were nine scattering votes,
making total of 452.
In the Third ward the contest was
Waged between Charles Kuehlbach
and William S. Vercoe to determine
the successor Of Councillor L. B. Krook,
president of the city council, who did
not desire reelection. Here the fight
was not quite as close as in the Second
ward, for Mr.. Kuehlbach received a
margin of SO votes over Mr.. Vercoe.
The vote was as follows: Kuehlbach,
|270; Vercoe, 174; spoiled ballots and
scattering votes, 8; total vote, 453, Of

Had No Opposition.


Councillor Otto F. Oswald re-entered
the city council in a walk, no oppose
ton developing to mar his!prospects of
reelection. The First warders were
apparently satisfied with the work
that Mr.. Oswald has been doing during
his tenure Of office, and, besides, being
a city father these days is anything
but sinecure. The popular First
ward councillor polled a total of LOS
votes in spite Of the fact that he had
no opposition.

Mr.. Kuehlbach has always taken a

Punching" is not gambling

of candy or other trade stuff. is

Short Crop Of Gold.

Alaska has been seriously
Affected by the worldwide de-
preston of the gold-mining in.
|dustry of the last four years,
during which the output of her
gold mines has been steadily de.
dining. The output of gold in
Alaska fell from So, ,426, 600 in
1919 to about 5000, 900 in 1920.
Bringing the total gold output up
to value Of 1920. 600, 600. This
decline is, however, not due to
any marked depletion of the
gold deposits, for Alaska contains
enormous potential reserves of
gold and other valuable minerals.
but since the purchasing power
.0f gold has decreased it has been
impossible to exploit profitably
many of the gold deposits, so
that the miner and prospector
has been forced to leave. This
condition is most serious, for
about 60 per cent of Alaska's
population has been supported,
directly or indirectly, by gold
mining.

The reason is not hard to find.
To work at eight, home to lunch

as the meal can be swallowed,
back home at six, a yawning in

it is oppressive, with nothing to

which more often vitiates than
helps, and no social stimulus ex-
cept the lodges. which they do
not attend as a rule, and the
churches, where they could find
something immensely worth
while. but from which they con-.
spicuously absent themselves.
The town is closed at six, dark
and forbidding at eight, and at
nine a tomb. Walk over it any
time after that hour (there is a
psychology most subtle in mere
light and you find the blinds
drawn and almost the entire
population in bed. What do
people do? Heaven alone knows
but such a life is bound to de-
press if not actually stupefy.
The women have their clubs
and escape the monotony by cul-
tivating genuine intellectual in
terest. The men have nothing
aside from business except in
political years and, as the Mer-
curry pointed out several weeks
ago. have cast for themselves a
most ignoble role. Such a situ-
alton, as then said, is far from
funny it is pathetic IN the In

IN

There is real tragedy in such a
situation, and the largest love
can hardly mitigate it. To live
Gull days, to wish at dawn the

dreary old age so poignantly
lyned as in the last chapter of
Ecclesiastes? Read it and make
a resolve. if you are a man. to
chuck the nine O'Clock habit and
make the end Of each day per.
feet by delving into a good book
