Wa are open to suggestions at all tlinea, and would retard it aa a favor for rltlacna to recommend Ideaa which might be of benefit. An Inatunce ot the useful ness of the service waa afforded only a day or two ago, when the ahip La don! waa saved from dlaaater on the Washington coast. At the North Head atatlon the officers have glasses which enable them to aee for distance of !& or SO miles, and In the case of the Lodor the signals of the vessel were read by the observer before they were even seen by the men on the tugs. Our Information to the tuga doublles pre vrntcit the loa of the ship. ' The" AsForU service will shortly be Improved by the addition of signal lights on the storm-warning tower. These lights will be used to give warn- Inga at night .and will consist of a red liirht of 128 candle-power and a ..mi. iirht of U candle-power. The red light will fortelt easterly winds, while tha red and white llghta will In dicate westerly winds. The llghta are now on the way and will be Installed aa soon aa they arrive. Tha bureau will also maintain a atorm-warnlng atatton at Chinook for the benefit of the fishermen.

Mr. Congir aald he hoped the public would not be too free to censure the fnrcnuiter when he makes an error re trdin the following day. "Wa o on the nrlnclule that It Is better to pre para the public for a storm that does not materialise than to permit tne ap proach of a storm without warning, if an occasional error Is made In fore- if i madA In rood fAtth." He v:u.t, - went on to explain that the north Pa cific coast was the most difficult Held In the whole oountry, on account of the rend of storms from west to east.

' HARD LUCK OF THE DEMOCRAT Lane Said to Have Actually Re ceived a Majority of the Votes Cast. ERROR RESTS WITH VOTERS Marked Space Left Blank and Ballots Were Thrown Out Interesting Mlxup la Colorado. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. T.-Advlces from various parts of the state ahow that several thousand ballots cast t Tuesday state election were thrown out by precinct officers because voters marked with a cross spaces on the bal lot left vacant because of failure of po litical parties to make nominations. This operates almost exclusively to the disadvantage of Lane, democrat'" can didate for governor, aa he received tne labor party vote, and It was that party which fialed In many counties to nomi nate a full ticket At the present stage of the count Pardee has a majority of only about 1700 votes, and It would therefore ap pear that Lane actually received more votea than the successful candidate.

Gavin McNab ruefully remarked to day: "We had a majority of the votes but they have a majority of the legal ballots." The wronfty marked ballots are re jected under a ruling of the state su preme court and there seems to be no redress. DEMOCRATS ARE FOXY Will Refuse to Organise Colorado Sen ate If Contests Ensue.
