WHAT THE ELECTION' SHOWS
Tha territorial election returns
for delegate to congress, as pub
lished iu today's Daily Alaskan
show several very interesting facts,
not tha- least among which is that,
notwithstanding the strenuous work
done ia Bunnell's bel»o>; by the
democratic organs and tha under
handed methods used by political
tricksters at the eleventh. hour
of the campaign to try *nd make
the voters ol Alaska believe that
it was absolutely essential for the
lutura welfare of the territory that
a democrat be returnd to coi'gress,
Mr. Wlckersham, with a falling off
of 37S vot€6 in the total territorial
leturns since the election in August
of 1912, has made a gain of 597
in his grand total.
To recapitulate; In 1912 there
■were 4,771 votes, cast, divided up
as follows:
Wickersham 1907
Kraczuna
Gilmore
Jennings
Hani as ,
1006
975
693
190
Total .. •• 4,71
The total number of votes cast
last Tuesday for delegate, so far
as the returns have been received
%vas 4,393, or a decrease of 378
votes. Of these Mr. Wickersham
Teceived 2.504; Bunnell, 1651:
Wickersham over his 1912 vote "of
597, notwithstanding the decrease in
the total vote above stated.
The most phenomenal and sensa
tional feature of the election in
the first division was the congres
sional vote In Haines. In 1912 it
was;
Wickersham 42
Gilmore 9
Kraczunas C
Jennings 0
Harrais I)
Total 5"
In Tuesdays election it was;
Wickersham 63
Bunnell .. 40
Brooks 7
Total .. 110
There are several peculiar fea
tures about the Haiues returns. For
one thing, the total number of votes
hag very nearly doubled since the
previous election, showing that how
ever backward the rest of the terri
tory is, that that town is steadily
gaining in population; and for an
other that the greater part of
those arriving there are of the
democratic political persuasion, for
in no other way can we reconcile
the discrepancy between the vote of
two years ago, when the democratic
candidate received a goose egg,
and that of Tuesday, which gave
Mr. Bunnell a total of 40.
However, the increase in the
Haiues vote did not all go to
Bunnell, for Wickersham receiv
ed 21 more than he did in 1912,
very nearly half of the total in
crease of 53.
PROHIBITION" L\" WASHINGTON
So far as we have been able to
find out the state of Washington at
the election on Tuesday through a
sort of hysterical enthusiasm of the
majority of the people voted in fa
vor of ■what is known as initiative
measure N'o 3, prohibiting the man
ufacture, sale or other disposition
of intoxicating liquors within the
state, except in certain cases. The
law is intended as a prohibition
measure, and had it been drawn in
shape for a strict enforcement
along the lines which were evi
dently Intended by its advocates it
would no doubt have been a good
thing in the! long run for the peo
ple of that state.
As it was drawn up and passed,
however, it works serious hardships
and heavy financial loss on a cer
tain class of citizens, and in nowise
stops the traffic In Intoxicants, for
under its provisions, any person who
is 21 years of ago or over may
ship in, from other states Tor his
own use, at any time, two quart bot
ties of whiskey or brandy and a
case of beer, which may consist of
either 24 quart, bottles or 36 pint
bottles. • i
We are in. favor of prohibition
that means all that its name implies
but are not in favor of a law that
discriminates against one class of
business men, forces money out of
circulation in heme channels and
throws it into that of other states,
makes "bootlegging" criminals of a
part of the population and fails to
tally in the object for which it was
intended.
l'LACEF MIXING TAUGHT
AT STATE university
Seattle, Nov. 5—Placer mining—
the only-mining operation in which
the man. of small capital Wn en
gage oa his own hook—is 'receiving
particular attention in the college of
mines in the University of Washing
ton. The Btudent of placer mining
is given instruction in measuring
| tho gravel he works, in keeping ac
curate record of the gold he re
covers, and in testing placer ground.
A placer miner who had spent
years in the Nome field came to the
university college of mines for the
short session. He learned how to
curacy and to calculate the value of
i ground. At the end of the course
he said; "I recently paid an engin
eer $1,000 to make certain tests
that I have learned to make for
myself in three months of well di
rected study."
The college of mines 's equipped
with full mining machinery for
gold, copper, lead, and zinc ores.
Dean Miln0 Roberts has said that
any intelligent man. who spends
three months in these laboratories
examining and testing varieties of
coal, for instance, and studying the
geology of the coal fields, will be
competent to Drospect for himseif in
the north, or if he*' has had experi
ence to carry on development work
'"or ^company.
J lie wnoie aim of i-Ue college is
to afford practical mining men a
course in which they may become
lamilia'r with improved methods of
and machinery for raining, to give
students who have not had experi
ence both theory and practice; and
to develop to the utmost the range
of the man who wants to mine on
j his own account or to direct min
t ing operations for concerns with
plenty of capital.
Each winter for the past seven
teen years a short, course has been
given for t'ue especial benefit of
practical miners. Last year there
was an enrollment of forty-four in
this course. The registration in
cluded representatives from all
parts of the world. Many were from
Alaska and British Columbia.
This year the short course will
open January 4, and continue to
April 10. Admission to the classes
will be without examination. in
struction will be given through lec
tures, laboratory experiments, and
visits to mines and plants in opera
tion, all under the supervision of
twelve of the instructors in mining
engineering.
No preparation is needed for this
course. Ia every cas© possible, the
experience and capacity and ambi
tion of th© individual student is
taken into consideration. Many of J
the miners who come to Washing
ton wish to learn, for instance, how
to make a pocket compass survey
of a claim. They are taught this
by Professor Charles E. Newton,
who has had many years of experi
ence in mine surveying.
"We expect a larger enrollment in
the short course this year than
last," said Dean Roberts. "We are
favored and aided a great deal by
the location of tile university, which
could not be better situated with
reference to the teaching of prac- I
tica] mining of dlrorss\lnds."

But we don't live so long nowadays and most of us have

have found that the time saved and t te labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is nvo or three times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and !;ss fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
