The highway district election Saturday, when three commissioners for the highway district No. 2 were elected to serve for a period of four years, was attended with almost as much interest as an old-time wet and dry election, 797 votes being cast, with a two to one vote in favor of the candidates put up in opposition to the present board, the members of which were appointed by the governor when the highway district law went into effect four years ago.

The commissioners elected to serve the next four years are J. S. Thompson, Thomas H. Rodgers and William Lennox, all successful and well-known farmers of the Moscow territory.

The following is the vote polled by the several candidates: J. S. Thompson, 568; Thomas H. Rodgers, 476; William Lennox, 433; E. F. Mis, 269; J. H. Hazeltine, 187; H. Mallory, 379.

A vigorous campaign was conducted throughout the day by both sides, many people being hauled to the polls in cars by the opposing partisans.
