Two tickets are now in the field
for the municipal election, and a
third one is being worked up.
These three tickets cover about all
the men in town who are willing
to serve or who will be here all
summer. The prospects are good
for a lively election. There seems
to be no particular “issue” except
personal likes and dislikes, but
even these will furnish sufficient
reason for considerable electioneer
ing, all of which will be to the ad
vantage of the town, in that it will
be the means of all the voters ap
pearing at the polls. From present
indications the ticket nominated at
the mass meeting last Saturday
stands the best sic w of winning,
for what little opposition that ap
pears is so scattering and has such
a diversity of opinion, that it will
not materially affect the standing
of the original ticket.

The council acted very wisely
in appointing a night watchman
Monday. During this time of the
year, a fire might gain head
way enough to endanger the whole
town before it was discovered, but
with a man making the rounds at
short intervals, the chance of a ser
ious conflagration is greatly re
duced.
The Mass Meeting.
The mass meeting called for last
Saturday was well attended, the
court room being crowded.
J. A. Bourkc was elected chair
man, and the following nomina
tions for councilmen were then
made: S. Blum, H. W. Miller, W.
A. Rystrom, Otto Hanson, T. J.
Donohoe, A. M. Edwards, T. J.
Quinn, Al. White and 8. A. Parker.
A motion that the names be bal
lotted upon, and the seven receiv
ing the highest number of votes bo
declared candidates, was carried,
and balloting proceeded with. Fol
lowing is the result of the vote:
8. Blum; - - - >91
A. M. Edwards, - - 84
T. J. Donohoe, - - * 90
T. G. Quinn, - - - 80
H. W. Miller, - 91
Al. White, - - - 82
W. A. Rystrom, - - - 85
Otto Hanson, ■ • • 31
R. H. Parker, - - - 29
A few votes were cast for men
who were not nominated: Wui.
Finical receiving 15, Otto Kanitz 2,
Scotty Crawford 1, Staghound Bill
1 and Slop Jake 1.
i>lum, Edwards, Do nohoe, Quinn,
Miller, White and Rystrom having
received the highest number of
votes were declared elected.
The present school board was
then renominated by acclamation,
not a dissenting voice being heard.
Judge Lyons was nominated as
municipal magistrate and unani
mously accepted as a candidate.
The ticket thus formed is ident
ical with the one proposed by the
Prospector last week, with the ex
ception of Win. Finical, who re
fused the nomination, for the rea
son that although he had large in
terests in the town, his residence
was on the reservation.
To Raiao Live Stock.

ing Co. is now being organized in j
6eattle for the purpose of doing I
