DENIES MACHINES
CAN BE FIXED"
Auditor Shows That Voting Ma
chimes Can't Be Tempered With
To Change Result

Under the impression that it
was possible for election judges
to tamper with the voting ma
chimes so that fraud would result.
the Whatcom County Unit of the
Western Progressive Farmers at
meeting in Lynden last week
passed resolution asking the
county commissioners that the old
type of ballots be used and the
machines discarded.
Someone spread the report that
by pulling a lever, judge could
clear the machine of totals en-
tirely. This is impossible, says
County Auditor Sam Barrett. In
the event of trouble of any kind
coming up in the voting of a
single ballot, provision is made
that the machine may be cleared
so that the election may be pro-
ceeded with, but the machine it.
self is fraud-proof, and totals
cannot be tampered with, as an
examination of the mechanism
will prove.
The resolution was as follows:
w uci edS- SdllSldClOTy eNlueuCe
has this day been submitted to
the effect that the voting ma
chimes used in the primary cleo
ton held in Whatcom County,
are equipped with a device or de-
vices which may be used to mis-
report the true intent of the vo-
ters, now therefore be it
Resolved, that we demand of
the county commissioners that no
further use be made of these ma
chimes in Whatcom County; and
be ii further
Resolved, That the form of
paper ballot in use in this county
prior to the advent of the voting
machine be henceforth contin-
ued."
Mr.. Barrett points out that
the machine has been inspected
and approved by state officials.

NEW GARAGE WILL BE
OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

The new garage building to be
erected this month by the Lyn-
den Motor Company will be of
concrete construction, instead of
frame with stucco finish, it has
been decided. Manager Herman
Elenbaas and Contractor John
Schultz made a trip this week
to Seattle to confer with the fire
insurance surveyor concerning
rates on various types of build
ings, and they found that the
saving in insurance premiums
for a fire-proof building would
soon pay the difference in con-
struction costs.
BY making a few minor i'm
provements in the present gar
age on the suggestion of the in
surance officials, and building
the new structure on substantial
lines, il will be possible for the
Lynden Motor Company to save
three or four hundred dollars a
year ON fire insurance.

STATE WILL HAVE
FINE FAIR EXHIBIT
Professors Will Give Demonstra-
tions and Lectures at Booth
Next Week

One of the features of the
Whatcom County Fair this year
will be the demonstration exhibit
prepared by the extension service
of the State College of Washing
ton. The exhibit this year is
departure from the former ones
in the way in which it is set up
and the material shown.
The space occupied by the col
lege exhibit will be 10 "a feet
and there will be two subjects
treated of interest to the farmers
of Whatcom County. Heretofore
the exhibit from the college tried
to show nearly everything, but
this year, stress is being placed
upon a few important phases of
farm work.
Dairying will be shown in one
booth and Don G. Macgruder, ex-
tension dairy specialist will be in
charge. Milk testing demonstra-
tions will be conducted each day
and talks given on the feeding
of balanced rations to the dairy
COW. What has been done in the
western part of the state in the
way of feeding balanced rations
is illustrated so that other dairy
men may profit by the experience
of one of their fellow workers.
The poultry exhibit. will con-
stitute the other booth. The ex-
tension service carried along its
own chickens. Only four pens to
be sure, but they illustrate that
not all hens are alike. Hens in
pen No. ! laid 1888 eggs in one
year, while those in pen No. 2
laid only $50 eggs. The two
roosters of the pens are shown
in the exhibit and a demonstra-
ton in egg production seen. w.
D. Buchanan prepared the exhibit
and is stressing breeding and
right feeding for egg production.
A. B. Crane of the extension
service will be in charge of the
exhibit. Because of the educa-
tional value of the display this
year, the Northern Pacific, o. w.
r. and N. and Great Northern
railways are giving free trans
portation to the college to have
the booths shown at the different
fairs

Daily Program: Buildings Are
Crowded With Exhibits

Your Whatcom County and its
resources will be on display all
next week at the Fair Grounds at
Lynden, with a finer exhibition in
all departments than has yet
been shown.
Aside from the crowded ex-
hibit buildings, the big feature
of the Fair this year will be the
horse races-five running events
being Scheduled daily. Sixty of
the best British Columbia and
Northwest horses have been en-
tered, guaranteeing lively pro
gram. The merit of the races
may be judged from the fact that
five Vancouver Derby winners
Will be on the grounds.
Baseball games, wrestling ev-
ents, and sports of all kinds will
be on the entertainment program.
More than the usual interest
is being shown in the dairy cattle
competition at the Fair this year,
and the most celebrated herds
of the county will be on exhibi-
ton. Visitors will have an op-
portunity of seeing some of the
highest producing stock in the
world in all breeds.

industry will be graphically IL
Illustrated at the Fair this year.
Early entries are filling up the
poultry building to capacity, var
ious birds being sent from many
sections outside of the county as
well. J. E. Cowherd of Ferndale
is in charge of this department.
In the vegetables, grains and
grasses departments, the visitor
will be shown forcefully Just how
splendidly the county has rallied
after a record summer of drouth.
Crops are flourishing with the
aid of the fall rains, and this will
be reflected at the agricultural
building. A gold prize for the
best 100 pounds of potatoes of
any variety except the Melted
Gem is expected to draw out doz-
ems of entries. The winning lots
OF spuds will be sent to the state
potato exhibition in Seattle.

TOTAL VALUATION
HERE TAKES DROP
Assessor Reports Failing Off of
Some Eighty Thousand for
City of Lynden

That the valuation of Lynden
city property has been dropped
to $517,262 for the 1928 tax
rolls, was the wor6 received this
week by r. B. Le aCocq, city clerk,
from H. D. Macarthur, county
assessor. This figure does not
include the railroad valuations,
which have not yet been receiv-
ed from the state officials.
Last year, the railroad total
was S11, 900, so that the complete
valuation for this year will go
to about $525,000.
Last year, the figures were
for the towns real and
personal property, so that the
city council will have to base its
levy on a reduction of fully $780,
600 this year. The council for
the past few years has been re-
ducing the levy one mill a year,
but it is doubtful if with this
heavy reduction, they can main
tain this program.

CASH FOR TESTING
HERDS GIVES OUT
Examinations for Tuberculosis
Postponed Until After State
Legislature Meets

No more tests of dairy cattle
in the Lynden district until af-
ter the legislature meets, County
Agent H. B. Carroll, jr.. advised
The Tribune today. Funds for
the purpose have been exhausted.
Tests can be made now only if
the indemnity payments by the
State are waived.
Washington cattle breeding
herds are cleaner, or freer from
tuberculosis, than those of any
other state in the union, DR.. L..
C. Pelton, supervisor of dairies
and live stock in the Department,
of Agriculture says. He points
out the fact that even Wisconsin.
once regarded as the best dairy
state, now is sending to Washing
ton for dairy cattle.
"It we could get money enough
to put as many men in the field
as we need during the next two
years, we could make an extern
sive effort to stamp out tubercu-
losis in all the dairy herds of the
state, afterward follow up this
work with two years more of
checking up, and then rest easy,
said DR.. Pelton. THAT much of
an effort would practically elm
mate all infected cattle in the
dairy herds of the state, and for
all time in the future very little
effort would be required to keep
washington clean"
The decrease in tuberculosis
among dairy cattle, and the in
creased activity of state officials
in testing cows that furnish milk
to the markets are shown by
figures of the last two bienniums.
For the two years ending June
80, a total of 127,926 head of
cattle were tested; during the
two years just preceding this
period, 1916 head were tested.
During the past two years the
reactors averaged PAP per cent
as compared with 3.46 per cent
during the preceding biennial
period; or, getting down to fig
ures, the state department tested
40 more COWS during the last
two years than it did during the
biennium that preceded them,
but only found 450 more reactors.
"All but four COWS in San Juan
county were reported free from
tuberculosis at our last test i,
said DR.. Pelton, but we are go
ing over the county again this
winter. We have been over Island
county twice, and finished 80 per
cent of Pacific county. We have
been over Wahkiakum twice, and
started a third time. Eighty per
cent of Whateom county cattle
have been tested; the whole Che
Ian district has been gone over,
as well as the neighborhood of
Gle Elum, Roslyn and Ellensbure
in Kittitas. Between so and 80
per cent of Walla Walla county
cattle have been tested, and we
start next week on Benton. In
| the northern part of Spokane
county 80 per cent of the cattle
have been tested, and the work
is well advanced throughout the
state"
