BRIGHT YARN FOR Dull TIMES

An elderly German couple decid-
ed to buy the farm adjoining their
property. The price agreed upon
was $4,000, and they went to town
to conclude the deal.
They entered the bank carrying
an old battered milk pail with tin
cover, which they set OIL the foo
between their chairs.
When the time came 20 pay, the
old farmer pulled the pail UP on his
lap and started to count out an as
sortment of money, much of which
had been out of circulation for some
time.
Finally he reached the bottom,
and stopped, obviously very upset.
"Why, there's only $4,000 here,
he exclaimed.
His wife looked equally concern
ed for i moment; then her face
Frightened.
"Ach, papa, you brought the
wrong pail!" she exclaimed.-Chi-

MANY KEYSTONE STATE VOTES
 ARE D0UB TFUL
Roosevelt Has. 40, Smith l7, and IS Tn Doubt
 in Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA, April 28. = With tlhree-fourths of the returns from Tuesdays Democratic pri- mary in it is certain that Gov. Franklin ID. Roosevelt has won B District delegates to the Demo- cratic National Convention, and former Gov. Alfred E. Smith has IT delegates. Gov. Roosevelt's sup po.ters claim seven and one-half of the eight delegates at large. Eighteen District delegates are still in doubt.
 Gov Roosevelt carried the pref ercntial election, but it is not bind- ing on the delegates. Returns from 6,046 out of 8181 districts gave Roosevelt 94,266 votes and Smith n, SIT.

DIMOND VOICES
 GRATITUDE FOR PARTY SUPPORT
Nominee for Delegate Ex- presses Appreciation of
 Wonderful Support

Expressing sincere appreciation for the support given him in Jul neau and elsewhere in Tuesdays primary election, Senator A. J. Dimond, successful candidate for the D De m ratio nomination for Delegate to Congress, pledged him self to conduct a vigorous campaign next Fall for that office, covering the entire Territory.
 T am deeply gratified at the wonderful manner in which my Jul neau friends supported my caidi- dacy in the primary election and assure them I shall leave nothing undone that I can personally do for party success at the polls next November" he declared.
 Grigsby Pledges Support
 George B. Grigsby, one of his two rivals for the nomination. was one of the first to congratulate Senator Dimond who arrived here this morning from Ketchikan, ac- companied by Mayor Thomas B. Judson and Harry Race. The two leaders greeted each other warmly.
 T am sure it is not too early to congratulate you and extend my best wishes. My services are at the disposal of yourself and the party, and I shall support you gladly in the Fall campaign"
 T am sorry it had to be you that lost" replied Senator Dimond, and voiced his appreciation of MT. Grigbys assurances of support.
 Confer with leaders
 Senator Dimond will remain here until next Tuesday conferring with local party leaders on tentative campaign plans He will then re- turn to his home at Valdez.
 That he was inclined to take much of the vote he received and the large primary vote as tribute to the party, was indicated by him. The unusual heavy vote in the Democratic primary to me means that Alaskans generally are turn- ing to our party for leadership. I think this will be even more pro- nounced next Fall, and that 1892 will be real Democratic year in Alaska" he declared.
 T repeat once more my apprecia- tion to the people of Juneau and and in fact to all those Tn every part of the Territory who 50 generously cast their ballots for ne last Tuesday" he said.

RETURNS TODAY ADD TO DIMOND
 DELEGATE LEAD
Valdez Senator Carries Second and Fourth
 Rustgard Increases Lead

With returns from scattering pre- cincts in the Fourth and Second Divisions coming in, Senator A. J. Dimond today assumed a com manding lead for the Democratic nomination for Delegate to Con- gress. He was leading in the Sec ond, Third and Fourth Divisions and local party leaders said there is no possible chance for him to be overtaken by either of his rivals George B. Grigsby and Represen- tative A. H. ziegler.
 Territorial wide returns gave Di- mond 1857, Grigsby 1,148 and Zieg- Ter 1,035. J. J. Connors had in- creased his margin over John w. Frame for National Committeeman to 687 votes, 1,714 to 1,027, and he was almost 1000 ahead of R. E. Hardcastle who had boiled 739.
 Get Indian Precincts
 Indian precincts on the lower west coast apparently went solid for Representative ziegler, Frame and Frames convention delegate slate. Hydaburg went solidly for that lineup and Klawock while giv- ing MT. Grigsby a handful of votes, stuck to the Frame combination for the party organization. Craig, another west coast town with heavy Indian vote, also went for ziegler and the Frame slate.
 Sitka returns indicated the h. dian organization remained in the Republican primary, and private advices received here showed the same was true in Yakutat. Rake, Angoon, Hoonah and Klukwan are expected to do the same thing.
 Brings Up Delegates
 The result of the lower west coast vote was to close up the gap between the two convention dele gate slates. In fact, M. M. Heath. a Frame candidate, was 57 votes ahead of John Walmer, one of the candidates on the Roosevelt ticket. However, returns from the rest of the Division and other Divisions. are said to be certain to elect Walmer.
 Rustgard and Cole
 John Rustgard's lead over Rep- resentative Frank H. Foster for nomination for Attorney General on the Republican ticket grew hand somely today as belated returns came in from all parts of the Ter ritory. He had 2,146 to SIS, almost three to one.
 Cash Cole had cleancut ma- jority over his two rivals-P. G. | Charles and H. I. Lucas. His vote his afternoon was 1,735, Lucas 800 md Charles 573.
 Edward A. Rasmuson, Skagway banker, was far heaad of Jack White of this city for Republican National Committeeman. He had [ ,908 to Whites 790.

LARGE SUMS
 TO BE SPENT
 ON HIGHWAYS
Projects to Cost Over One Billion Dollars Are
 Planned
(By OSCAR LEADING)

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Add a little more than 13 per cent to she wholesale value of automo- blless produced in 1881 by the United States and the result will be the sum to be spent in 1892 for the nations highways.
 Altogether, as reported by State authorities to the Bureau of Pub lie Roads, the estimated state and local highway and bridge expen ditures this year will total s1, ,352, = S37 ,261.
 Comparison with the cost of 1881 projects cannot be made until late summer, when final figures are collected, but 1t is known that this years program represents a f9 per cent decrease from the total sum spent in 1880.
 It is possible, however, that the 1892 total may be increased since Congress has numerous road ap- measures pending. The total authorization for Federal aid now amounts to $125, 100000.
 36,O0O Miles of Road
 State highway departments alone expect to build more than 36,000 miles of roads this year. Though l032 State highway funds are 10 per cent under the 1880 figure, the decline is considerably less than in local funds, because they are largely derived from motor vehicle and gasoline taxation upon which revenues there has been no marked reduction.
 Nine States have reported total highway programs estimated to cost in excess of $5O000 000. Rank ed according to the total os their projects they stand as follows.
