NO. 24.
MILLARD LEADS
FOR SENATOR
Has Twenty-one Vote# Ahead of Baldwin,
Who la Next Highest--Ray Forty
Behind Baldwin.
The .senatorial light is still in doubt,
but up to the time of going to press Mil
lard still maintained his read. " The re
turns from Cooper creek, where Frank
Youngs is operating a placer claim, pull
••d Baldwin up to within 21 votes of the
loader.
The light for representatives is not so
close, but the westward vote may change
the outcome. At present Gray, or Katal
la. leads with 027, Kelly being second
with 022 and he will lake the lead, as
ihe returns from the far west come in,
as he is better known In thai section than
any of the other candidates. Ingram still
holds second place with 57:1 and Hoyle
rourth with 538, unless Youngs can ov
ercome the 133 voles separating liim -
.-••If and Hoyle or the ICS between
Youngs and Ingram, he lias no show. No
body but Youngs has any chance to
beat the four highest.
Frank Youngs' stronghold. Cooper
Creek, give fngram 13, and Boyle 5, al
though Youngs was on the Home Rule
ticket and Ingram on the Non-partlzan.
II is estimated that the westward has
about mo votes still to come as follows:
Kenal, 75; Susltna, 50 to 75; Kodlak,
40; Afognuk, 35; Unga. 30; I'nalaska. 30;
Willow Creek, 15; Knik. 20; Hope, 20;
?eldovia, 2o,
Three precincts are .still missing up
the Copper river--(legal, Kuskuliua and
Copper Mountain--but ii is not expected
that many votes will be cast at any of
them now. as all the camp* have shut
down.
The totals are-as follows;
senators, Millard 021, Baldwin oou.
rt-iy r,o«», Tansey ^09.
Iiepresentatlvrs. «ira.v 027, Kelly 022.
Ingram 573. IJoyb' 538 and Youngs 4it.

LONG FIT
IS LOST
Battle for Tan Cant Differential on Trana
contlnental Shlpmenta Loat Before
Interstate Commerce Commlaalon
Salem, Ore., .Nov. 7--The long light of
Willamette river cities to maintain the
old 10-cent differential on shipments on
transcontinental freight from eastern
points has been lost, according to ad
vices from the Interstate commerce com
mission.
As a result it will now be necessary to
both transcontinental ind local rates on
such shipments instead of the old dif
ferential granted by ll'" Southern Paeltic
years ago.
| .The concession was removed when the
railroads absorbed most of tin* compet
ing boat lines entering nlto a "gentle
man's agreement" with these boat lines
which resulted in a local tariff plus the
transcontinental rale.
