HUTTON TELLS OF
VIRGINIA CITY DAYS

(Reported for The Tamarack)
Last Monday was Pioneer Day in
the public schools and was the oc-
casion of a thrilling and colorfuI
program in the local Junior HIGH
auditorium. About IS of the early
settlers of this community were seat
ed on the stage when Elizabeth
Oneal expressed to the guests the
pleasure of the school in acting as
hosts to group that had made pos-
sible the many privileges and Cd
vantages of the present nener1tiCn-
Mrs S. G. Ratekin, prest1ent Of the
Libby Pioneer Society, replied 1nG
her group by saying that time VIZ
when all pupils could be housed ii

OF where the Kootenai Mercan3llk
now stands and that she and thG
other pioneers had consistently en-
couraged better schools with ins~
creased facilities.
As the curtain opened, Mr.. Sar-~

and left his audience asking for

sources. The audience followed Mr..
Sargent's direction to sing an old

Range"
Few school programs have ex-
celled the one Monday in the deep
sense of fitness of the occasion that
was felt by guests and students
alike. As the pioneers signed their
names in the guest book, one OF
them remarked. This stage will not
be large enough to hold the pioneers
who will plan to attend next years

rival registered was that of Bernice
Reedy in 1894, making her resi-
dent of Libby for close to half
century.

rotate the names on the sample
ballots.
Here is another point. The new
law provides that the democratic
and republican candidates must be
kept at the top Of the ticket and
the two names rotated as a unit.
Therefore, with the ballot this year
calling for five rotations, Roose-
velts name appeared at the top in
three-fifths of the total number OF
ballots and WILKES name appeared
at the top on two-fifths of the total
number of ballots.
1t is hoped this explanation will
set at rest any wonder IN the minds
Of some as to why President Roose-
velt's name did not appear at the
top of all ballots.

Urges Aliens To
Register at Once

Postmaster Forrest L. DeRosia an
nounced yesterday that rs per cent
of the aliens in this district are now
registered. He urges all those who
have not yet taken this important
step to do SO at once by appoint
ment This is urged because post Of
flee employees are in their busy
season and registering of aliens,
which takes much time, will hinder
service to citizens if not arranged
for beforehand.
December rs is the last day to
register and Mr.. DeRosia urges all
to not wait until the last day but
rather to get the matter taken care
of before December Is when the
Christmas rush starts. A fine of
$1,000 and imprisonment for six
months will be given to those
aliens who have not registered by
the 26th of next month.

Spotlight Hunters
Kill YoIuob!e Horse

]. B. Grigg, rancher living near
Troy, reports that he lost valuable
horse Monday night when it was
shot and killed. Mr.. Grigg believes
the horse was killed by spotlight
hunters, the animal being shot in the
head just below one eye.
Mr.. Grigg says the horse was a
fine 5-year-old animal, weighing be-
tween 1900 to 1000 pounds and val
ued at 5000 He thinks, with rea-
son, that hunters should use great
err care not to kill ranchers' live
stock.

REXFORD, Nov. 6.--Uuques-
tionably the oldest man to vote
at the Tuesday election in Lin
coin County was Mr.. Peter Ham,
mons, a 99-year-old citizen of
Rexford, who cast his ballot at
this place. Unusual interest was
manifested in the election this
year and MIR. HammOns was
determined to express his choice
for president despite his ad-
vanced age. 1t would not be
surprising to find that he was
the oldest person to vote not
only in the county but in the
state as well.

FeWkes and Klinke Win BY
Large Majority in Local
Contests.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
AND MANY VOTE

Following the same trend as the
nation, Lincoln county gave Roose-
welt heavy lead over Willkle in
the election Tuesday. but two repub-
licans won out in three contests in
the county ticket.
Roosevelt polled 2150 votes to
WILKES 1850. The race for con-
gress was a close one in the county,
OConnell leading Rankin by only
80 votes-O'Connell 1868 to 1929 for
Rankin.
Ayers CD had a comfortable lead
over Ford {R), he polling l748 votes
to Ford's 1859 The same trend fol-
lowed throughout the state ticket
and the complete county returns are
given below. An interesting side
light is that there are ~ commun-
lists in the county, that number OF
votes having been cast for friedrich
son, Com, for governor.
Win With Large Majorities
For state representative Fewkes
(R) won over Bessey Cd with 2l72
votes to ITO, lead of 1902 votes
for Fewkes.
For county commissioner, Eureka
district, Klinke (R) likewise polled
a heavy vote in excess of that given
to Frost (D). Klinke's vote was
1890 to Frost's l458 or Klinke
majority of 1872 votes.
The race for county attorney was
the closest OF any. Candee (D) won
over Murray (R) but the contest was
SO close that it required returns
from the last two precincts to de-
termine the winner Candee polled
1852 votes to 1901 for Murray, giving
Candee a majority of ST votes.
The above were the only three
offices In which there were con-
tests on the county ticket, except
that for public administrator there
were three candidates, all of whom
came forward at the last momen,
following the sudden death Of the
only candidate, A. A. Brooks.
Below Is given complete unof-
fetal returns in the national, state
and county tickets as polled in Lin

Loves labor filled the happy years.
