With the receipt of complete returns from Cooa county this afternoon Henry U Benson of Klamath Kails attained a lead of 119 votea over Charlea U Mc- Nary of Bnlem In the neck-and-neck race for the fourth Republican nomi nation for the aupreme bench. Up to 3 o'clock McNary waa leading by IS votea, but the complete Cooa figures gave Ilenaon a gain of 137 votea, putting him again well In the lead. Cooa county, complete, gives Den- son 748 votea to McNary'a 643, aa com pared with the 670 votea for llcnaon and the 604 votes for McNary pub llflhed in a table on another Complete returns are yet to be re ceived from Crook, Olllam, Hnrney, Malheur, Sherman and Wallowa coun ties. The present standing shows Ilen aon ahead In all theae counties save Olllam and Wallowa, his lead amount ing to 30 votea. Whether McNary will yet overcome Ilenaon s lead of 119 votes Is of course a. matter of speculation, but Benson is j now thought to hold a fairly certain i advantage, although It la vet possible I that complete returns from the six In-' complete counties may again shirt the ballast By WOMAN'S CLUB The fotlowlne- officers were elected X DR.

WORK BEGUN LAST FALL IS COM PLETED AND DREDGE G0E3 TO LEWIS RIVER A six foot channel from Portland to Oregon City waa completed the first part of this week and the government dredge, Champoeg, left for the Lewis river In the local Columbia district The work In the Willamette was be gun laat fall and continued through the winter and spring except when the water was too high. AU of the chan nel betwoen this city and the lower river was dredged where necessary so that there will be no delay of the river ooats during the coming Bummer. A channel has been dredged through Ma gone's bar as well as several other minor shoals. Although the water below the falls is slightly rising, the upper river In at a low water stage and it Is expected that unless It rains soon river boats will not be able to go above Salem. The law water in Uie upper river is caused by the small amount of snow In the mountains while tho high water in te lower river Is due to the back wa- ire rrom tne Columbia.

The count showed Schuebel to have W) votes and GrlKenwalte 1971. It Is probable that the offlcal count will change this result a few votea. It waa aeen early In the count Friday night that the contest between Frans Krax berger, Chris Schuebel and W. Griaen walte would be close. Slowly Krax borger drew away from the other two, leaving tbem with about the same number of votea.

Announcing tonight that two girls bad been taken In custody at the Friar's club In Mil I waukle by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the , once " the grand jury or uacuamas county through District Attorney Hedges. The charges, he said, will be keeping an unlawful house and con tributing to the delinquency of minors. "I sent Tom Kay, special state de tective, to the place tonight to keep close watch upon It," said the gover nor. "It will be closed tomorrow morn ing. Martial law Is still In effect there. I removed the troops from the club a short time ago because I did not think it was necessary to keep them there, and to cnt down expenses. "The girls Mrs. Baldwin has In charge were at the club last night drinking intoxicating liquors with men. One of them is 15 years old and the other Is IT years old. I am satisfied drinking has been going on at the club right along. We have the evidence ! that two men later charged with blow- I lng a safe went to the club and bought drinks. W omen were with them. We have evidence that chauffeurs were furnished cards to use in getting pa tron for the place. "Some of Portland's prominent young men who foolishly visited the place were need by Wilbur, the manager, to give a semblance of respectability to tbe resort. In his attempt to establish what he calls the "respectability of the club' he will undoubtedly find It neces sary to give the names of these young men to the grand jury, and it will cause them some unpleasantness when they get into court."
