Monday's Balloting
"Wlille election results show a close

In favor of good government and law

in the face of a strenuous fight made
by the Hoover element to continue
their dominion of the clty'a affairs.
Blit the voters said no', and went
on record for a new deal,
In the first ward f the result as
shown on the face of the returns is
a tie 28-votes -each for Messrs. J.
F. Clements and J. F. Culver. The
election clerks, however, enrolled but
55 names of persons who cast their
votes in that ward during the day.
It seems probable, however, that f6
men voted there and by some unin
tentional oversight the clerks failed
to record the name of one of them.
ThM mcy have occurred during the
course of an argument as tq whether
a certain vote offered there could "be
legally cast. The vote being ques
tioned was that of H. L. Newman,
who recently moved into town and
took charge of the shooting gallery
and bowling alley on lower Jackson
Btreet. The vote was finally admitted
and "was counted with the others. It
has since been learned that Mr.
Newman took charge of the business

the necessary requirements for be

by several gentlen" i who were pres

it was cast In favor of Mr. Culver,
although entirely without the knowl

vote eliminated, the election will go
to Mr. Clements. This matter may
come before the council when It
meets to canvass the election returns
Wednesday night.
In Other WnrdH.
In Ward 2 but little Interest was
manifested on either side, C. B. Pat
rick being re-elected over W. J.
Hughes by a vote of 78 to 37.
In Ward 3 the contest was warm
from start to finish, R. (J. Hounds fin
ally winning over C. F. Harpster by
the narrow margin of three votes, the
count standing: Bounds, 120; Harp
ster, 117.
In Ward 4 the contest was fought
with a determination approaching
desperation on the part of the Hoover
element, during the entire day. The
result showed that B. W. Strong had
won over G. Worthington by a vote
of (51 to 57, the loser being the
Hoover candidate.
In Ward 5 A- A. Bellows had no
opponent for re-election. He re
ceived 13 votes and one was cast
for II. W. Marsters.
In Ward 6 there was a general in
terest but nothing In the nature of a
warm contest. J. W. Mullen received
49 votes as against 28 cast for the
re-election of J. W. Wright.

WORLD'S OtTPl'T OK COAL.
V nit (Hi States Stitiuls Fur in lnd
With 4H(l:itkt,0(H Tons.
In a report recently published by
the United States Geological Survey
an advance chapter from "Mineral
Resources of- the United States, Cal
endar Year 1907" E. W. Parker,
the coal expert and chief statistical!
of the Survey, estimates the world's
production of coal for 1907 at 1,
209,184,109 short tons, of which the
United States furnished 480,363.424
short tons, or 39.7 per cent.
Great Britain stood second with
229,970,677 tons and Germany third
with 226,773,605 tons. Exclusive of
Great Britain, the United States pro
duced in 1907 more coal than all
the other countries of the world
combined. . It may also he noted
that more than 98 per cent of the
total world's production of coal is
from countries north of the Equator,
the countries south of that line pro
ducing less than 20,000,000 tons an
nually. Mr. Parker also presents a table
showing the growth of the coal
mining industry In the United States
since 1868 in comparison with that
of other countries of the world, from
which it appears that during the
period ct forty years the porcentagt
of the world's total produced by tin1
V lied States has Increased from
11.52 tc 39.73, and that bIh-jq i?3i:
this c untry has held first : ace
among the coal producers. It now
stands far in the lead of all others
having so far outdistanced Great
Britain that that country enn n
longer be considered a rival, al

was supplanted by the United State
as the greatest eoal-produclng coun

Roosevelt's Messng-e.
William D. Wheeler, assistant
secretary of tho Department of Com
merce and Labor, who arrived at the
congress today aH the special repre
sentative of President Koosevelt,
brought the following message from
the president:
"(Jo out there and tell the con
gress I believe In fair play."
The message refers to the com
plaints made to Koosevelt by western
stockmen, who are aggrieved at the
curtailment of grazing lands, claim
ing that they face ruin through dis
crimination in favor of agricultur
ists. ,
President1 Case's Address
In bis Introductory address to the
congress today, President Case spoke
as follows:
"Let us hope that settlement of
the unoccupied lands will he en
couraged by tho government In sen
sible ways. The idea prevailing In
early days of the republic, that the
public domain should be used as a
revenue producer, abandoned In fa
vor of the better method of using
the same for settlement should not
be revived. The west should be
settled up. The quicker the public
domain passes into private ownership
tho better it will be for us. Iry
farming homesteads should be en
larged to at least '.120 or C40 acres
A larger homestead should be given
for dry farming and a sma'ler one
to the irrigated distorts.
"it is pleasing to note that dur
ing the past year a great Imiietus ban
been given to the Increase of our
forest reserves and the conservation
of our natural resources. The mag
nlflcent work of President Koosevelt
In star ting a movement that shall not
only Increase the forests of the west,
hut shall preserve the natural wealth
already possessed, should have the
hearty commendation of every west
ern citizen.
"Out of this remarkable advance
ment of the trans-Mississippi conn
try comes one great problem that
overshadows all others now before
us. Important as are the various in
terests which we are trying to bull

This case undoubtedly will be one

opened for the registration of the
thousands of home-seekera eager to
take a chance on securing a home in
the Koscbud Indian reservation.
Eight hundred ' thousand aires,, di
vided Into quarter-section farms, will
bo disposed of by this lottery. It Is
expected that not less than 100,000
persons, and probably more, will reg

the drawing beginning on October
19. The drawing will continue dally
at the rate of from H00 to 2000

If an applicant draws a number

out interest. At the time the entry-
an makes his final proof he will be
required to pay the usual fees and

20t. at tho time he makes entry.
