HOUSTON IS SEATED Downs Loses Councilman's Contest In Hillsboro Recount. HILLSBORO, Or., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) The City Council met last night and recounted the ballots cast at the city election last Monday, in response to a petition by Joseph Downs, who was defeated by D. L. Houston for the Council by a majority of six votes. Downs' counsel argued that the citi zens' ticket was an illegal ballot and asked that it be thrown out of the count. Upon vote of the Council, BoscOw, Hartrampf and Trullinger voted to count all the ballots, while Helm and Carlile voted to sustain the objection, on the grounds that the ticket was alien, inasmuch as It had not been arisen to the election board by the City Re corder, as required by ordinance. The recount gave Downs a gain of but one vote and Houston was sworn in and seated. The contest will doubt less end here, as the charter amend ments were also recounted and found to have carried by a majority of 35 un der the count of the mass meeting ticket, the ticket regularly presented by the City Recorder.

Hood River and Central Part of State Featured Valuable In formation Is Given. How the railroads are aiding in the advertisement and development of Ore gon is given ample illustration in the publication of two booklets which are now being distributed. The first of these, "Oregon." was issued by the pas senger department of the Great Northern Railway Company, and the other, "Hood River, Oregon," by the passenger de partment of the O. K. & N. Co. The "Oregon" booklet Is the larger of the two, and in its 32 pages of illustra tion and descriptive matter covers well the entire state. The other confines its attention to the Hood River district, but is prepared in a more pretentious style. A feature of the Great Northern's pub lication are four maps which point out the way to Oregon and the wonderful advantages for securing homes in the state. The map in the front of the book shows the route of the Great Northern from St. Paul to Portland. While all the other states are printed in black and white, Oregon is tinted to attract spe cial attention. A colored county map of the state is also published, showing the route of the Great Northern, the North Bank, the Oregon Trunk, the Oregon Electric, the United Railways and all the proposed lines of the Hill system. Including those to Tillamook and through Central and Southern Oregon. The dotted lines ex tend as far as Medford to the south. The third map is inserted, being in black and white and also showing the Hill lines. It is unattached from the book and can be used for reference. A smaller but probably the most valu able map in connection with the adver tising scheme is one showing the terri tory in Central Oregon where 320-acre homesteads may be had. with stars In dicating the towns where homestead fil- i Ann ka -Vnat area& in Mai heur, Harney, Lake, Crook and Klamath Counties are blocked out. - The Hood River booklets are being sent by mail to a selected list of persona throughout the East who are likely to become interested in that section. It is printed in natural colors, the two first inside pages containing actual size illus trations of Yellow Newtown and Spitz enberg apples. Most of the space is devoted to illus trations, but adequate and convincing descriptive matter is carried. All of the pictures are reproductions of actual scenes in the Hood River District and show the remarkable state of advance ment the apple culture there has at tained. Golden Drirt Dam Inspected. GRANTS PASS. Or., Dec. 11. (Spe- cial.) Ed. Clanton, State Fish war den, came from Salem yesterday to in vestigate the Golden Drift Dam, three miles east of the city, which is being repaired by private citizens.
