The Quadrangle so Known will be the unit of area on which the postal ratea to every postoflicu in the country will be based for, an every one knowa now, the system of zone will deter mine the charge, In which not only the weight of the parcel tut the distance of tho point of delivery will be the de termining factor. It ia tuggeutcd that on duo pressure being applied by senator and repre- entativea the government might be in duced to issue a very largo popular edl tion of this map. It is one of tho strongest aocuHHtions I'fjainst the ex ures companies that the ordinary and occasional patron could not tell without going to the express offlce what the charge levied upon him would be. Neither did tha average man know whether the express office was right or wrong. One of the advantages of the new ayatem la its simplicity. But all our knowledge in advance must be baaed upon tha map. Of course the expense of such a map for general distribution must be considerable, but it will be monev well snent. According to indicationa all develop ment work in the High Grade Mining diatriot is getting down to a pra'tica and permanent basin. In regard to this the Cedarville Record givea the fol lowing : The lioom the hot air part of it of the High Grade minea haa practical ly passed away. Many men came, looked and went away again, and now the camp ha settled down to a nor mal. A large majority of the men visititg that place were prospector looking tor work, consequently many went away dissatisfied. Those remain ing express confidence in the future of theJmineB, and from now on they will bend their encrgiea in developing them. Rich ore has been found there in vari able quantities. '' The rich ore teems to run in stringers, out the main ore "ahoota" appear to be yet undis covered. Work on some of the claims will be continued during the winter, and it ia to be hoped that they will find a rich and permanent body of the yel low metal that will make High Grade oue of the bent camps in the country According to latest information from state headquarters at Portland and Salem, Woodrow Wilson will carry the atate by approximately 10,000 votes. Dr. Harry Lrne, of Portland carries tha state for United States Senator by about 15.000, .ata returns abow him leading Ben Selling by 1&0, Jonathan Bourne is about 10.000 behind Selling. These figure show return from all countiea In tno state excepting Lake. The result for tbia county given in another column does not change the above materially. While 80 or 90 members ot the Legia latuie are Republicans the Democrats will have ruore member than tbey bav been able to count for many veers on roll call. Almost without exception the Senators and Representatives have subscribed to Statement No. 1. While Woman Suffrage will not sweep the state aa was expected on early reports, it It aiaured of patsing by a vote of about 1000. A dozen of the measures submitted were carried as againtt 24 defeated, and one possibly in doubt. In round numbert, Wilson's vote is 45,000 ; Roosevelt, is second with 35,000, and laft third witb 32,500. Debs polled more (otes than Chafin In the primaries, Taft received 20,217 and baa made a gain in the final election, as did Roosevelt, who received 28,005 in tbe primaries. Wilson, in the Democratic. primaries, was given 9588 votes. Tbe La Folette vote in the primaries. 22,-1 491, appears to have gone, in a large i measure, to Wilson the Democratic nominee. Bourne ia about 1000 votes behind what he rece ved in the primaries and Sell ng is 1100 better than hia primary vote. In the primaries Lane received 8621. Dr. Lane waa elected by the vote ot Multnomah County, for In the outside counties it was a neck-and-neca race between Selling and Lane witb Selling a sbsde the best of it. Bourne carried four counties. Both Bourne and Selling ran more than 2000 each behind the primary vote they polled in Multnomah. Wilson is the first Democratic can didate to carry Oregon although, Bryan came within 2000 of carrying Oregon in 1896. Oregon will now have two Democratic Senators ar.d three Repub lican Congressmen, tbe Senators being George E. Chamberlain and Harry Lane, the Representatives Hawley, Sinnot and Lafferty. This throws all tbe state Federal patronage into the handa of tbe Democratic Senators be cause there being a Democratic Presi dent. ' Lane's election will te ratified ly a Kepjblican Legislature, under the Statement No. 1 cledge, and he will succeed Jonathan Bourne, who9 term expires March 4. This will be tbe fourth term for Congressman Hawley, the second term for Lafferty, and tbe Irst for Sinnot.

Tbe Keno cars will ba switched to tbe Western Pacific tracks at Doyle and will be run through to San Fran cisco without a change of trains. The traffic agreement between tbe two roada will give San Francisco an other rail)entry into Reno and will give Reno another railroad outlet to the coast. President T. P. Dunaway of the Nevada California Oregon railroad verified the announcement regarding tbe company'a plans. It is said that work has already been contracted for on the standard guaging of the road.

FAIRPORT INN TO BE OPENED SOON New Resort Will Have All Modern Conveniences For Guests Now that election ia over, the next thing to look forward to ia the festive Thanksgiving turkey. J. N. Ford of Keno, last week came up to Fair port to take charge of the Fairport Inn that was erected this Summer at the new town on the shores of Goose Lake. It is stated that the resort will be opened in the near future. A large shipment of furni ture for the hotel la on the road, and four automobile and drivers for the accomodation of the guests of the hotel are said to be enroute to Faiport. A complete foroe of help has been en gaged, including eooka, waiters, and others necessary to make the machin ery ot a public hnstlory run smoothly. Mr. Ford ia said to be a man of much experience in the hotel business and conducting Summer resorts, and ia making extensive arrangements to make Fairport Inn a homelike and an attractive place. Bey? Will Probably Be Re duced to Three Bucks In a Season The deer season whioh closed Octo ber 31, may be the last in which each hunter will be allowed to kill five deer. State Game Warden W. L. Finley ia Oregon's Code Provides That All Juries Must Consist of Men Regardless of tbe passage of tbe Woman Suffrage amendment at last week s election, there will be no wo men juries" in Oregon. This interest- ' has been granted to women in this 1 State, the first discovery of the fact wcrking tor a reduction of te limit ! ing bit ot information was given in a trom five to two or three, probably two !

Oregon is the most liberal atate in 088 been mHde by many women and the Union at present, and although I men, although the suffrage campaign deer are still plentiful, the fact ihat 1 leaders say they knew it, jury duty is their sequestered glens are being ap-1 denied women, the State code express prouched by steam and electric railways ; ly providing that all juries, grand, pet makes a reduction of the limit neces- tv. coroner's and otherwise, shall con- sary for the perpetuation of the species, sist of a body of men, according to Mr. Finley. California and Washington, states which have as much deer ground as Oregon, allow the hunter to get but two deer in any season, while Montana per mits three. This measure may find considerable opposition from some hunters, hut Mr. Finley is confident that the majority will be glad to see a reduction of the number allowed. The season past haa been marked by the absence ot infractions of the laws, for at least the absence of cases brought to tbe notice of officials. Other years many hunters were usually caught for killing deer after tbe season had leagally closed. Thia year only one suoh case wat brought forward. John Straight, of Oregon City, being arrested for killing deer on November 2. He waa caught in the bills near Cazadero. That he killed tho deer after the sevson cloaed was not detinitly ascertained, but he ati There is due the N.-C.-O. Ry. Co. about $1500 on account of tbe abandon ment of the grade made necessary by a change in the location of tbe depot grounds at the Lakeview station. It ia unnecessary to go into the details of tbe transaction or to attempt to shift the responsibility therefor, to aay that the amount will be piid the railway company, either directlv or indirectly. For the past several weeks all sorts of rumors hjve been afloat, not tbe least of which was one that a mixed train aervice is to be established at this end of the road. Another was that trains are to stop over night at Fairport, while a third waa to the effect that suit is to be brought fur the collection of the amount due for the abandoned grade. Can Lakeview afford to have either of tbe rumors materialize for a paltry S1500? The Eaxminer stands ready and will ing to contribute liberally to the liqui dation of the indebtedness and is hrmlv cf the opinion that the amount should be raised immediately That the N.-C.-O. people have done every thing they promised one will denv. As a matter ot course there is more or less complaint about tue rates, and that condition will always exist to long as any charge whatever is made.

Sitz Escapes With Others From Jail In California The following dispatch under date of November 3, appeared in tbe San Fran cisco Cbroniele. After dragging m trusty, sawing two iron barriers, and scaling a fail yard wall on blanket ropes, four inmates of the Kern County Jail are fleeing through tbe Kern eounty hills with two posses in pursuit.

Questions have already been raised as to the eligibility of women voters, and inquiries at the office of United States District Attorney McCourt de veloped the fact that these questions have been thereshed out to a 'consider able extent already, and there are new points of law involved which disouted. However, there ia no question that a foreign born unmarried woman must be natuarlized in the United States, if she may vote. The requirements for naturalization are tbe same as those for a male. It is equally understood, according to a local Interpretation of the law, that a foreign born woman who mar ries an American thereby becomes an American.
