Roseburg Voles in Favor jf : Good Coveroment HOOVER REGIME IS ENDED Clli Election -Was Remarkably Close in Three Wards Results of : Monday's Balloting "Wlille election results show a close rub In three of the wards, Hoseburg made a record on Monday as being In favor of good government and law enforcement. This result was made in the face of a strenuous fight made by the Hoover element to continue their dominion of the clty'a affairs. Blit the voters said no', and went on record for a new deal, In the first ward f the result as shown on the face of the returns is a tie 28-votes -each for Messrs. J. F. Clements and J. F. Culver. The election clerks, however, enrolled but 55 names of persons who cast their votes in that ward during the day. It seems probable, however, that f6 men voted there and by some unin tentional oversight the clerks failed to record the name of one of them. ThM mcy have occurred during the course of an argument as tq whether a certain vote offered there could "be legally cast. The vote being ques tioned was that of H. L. Newman, who recently moved into town and took charge of the shooting gallery and bowling alley on lower Jackson Btreet. The vote was finally admitted and "was counted with the others. It has since been learned that Mr. Newman took charge of the business stated on Sept. 10, last, and moved his ramily in from Edpnbower a day or two afterwards, it is therefore TWENTY DOLLARS Spent with us, will buy the best suit of dollars ever bought kT'A Da hand-tailored; made of handsome, depen W 111 Dedable cloth; faultless fitting; "kinky" or conservative, as your preference may decide; lined and trimmed no n rrreA cnlf ctlMllfl Ko We'd Like to "Show You" How well we can clothe you for Twenty Dollars.

It Is also known by several gentlen" i who were pres ent when the ballot was offered that it was cast In favor of Mr. Culver, although entirely without the knowl edge of that gentleman. With this vote eliminated, the election will go to Mr. Clements. This matter may come before the council when It meets to canvass the election returns Wednesday night. In Other WnrdH. In Ward 2 but little Interest was manifested on either side, C. B. Pat rick being re-elected over W. J. Hughes by a vote of 78 to 37. In Ward 3 the contest was warm from start to finish, R. (J. Hounds fin ally winning over C. F. Harpster by the narrow margin of three votes, the count standing: Bounds, 120; Harp ster, 117. In Ward 4 the contest was fought with a determination approaching desperation on the part of the Hoover element, during the entire day. The result showed that B. W. Strong had won over G. Worthington by a vote of (51 to 57, the loser being the Hoover candidate. In Ward 5 A- A. Bellows had no opponent for re-election. He re ceived 13 votes and one was cast for II. W. Marsters. In Ward 6 there was a general in terest but nothing In the nature of a warm contest. J. W. Mullen received 49 votes as against 28 cast for the re-election of J. W. Wright. All the new couneilmen-clect are said to be actively in favor of street paving and other needed improve ments In our city. "ftlN'CiKK" WIXS HORSE RACK. In a quarter-mile dash at the dis trict fair grounds near Hoseburg, this afternoon, Ike Wlnnlngham's sorrel colt "Ginger" won from Joe Rose's "Blue Diamond." The race was for $100 a side, and In addition there were a number of private bets. The horses got an even start, but after they had covered about 50 yards "Ginger" began forging ahead and gradually increased his lead un til the finish, passing under the wire a length and a half ahead of the blue nag. we've been treating people square WORLD'S OtTPl'T OK COAL. V nit (Hi States Stitiuls Fur in lnd With 4H(l:itkt,0(H Tons. In a report recently published by the United States Geological Survey an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources of- the United States, Cal endar Year 1907" E. W. Parker, the coal expert and chief statistical! of the Survey, estimates the world's production of coal for 1907 at 1, 209,184,109 short tons, of which the United States furnished 480,363.424 short tons, or 39.7 per cent. Great Britain stood second with 229,970,677 tons and Germany third with 226,773,605 tons. Exclusive of Great Britain, the United States pro duced in 1907 more coal than all the other countries of the world combined. . It may also he noted that more than 98 per cent of the total world's production of coal is from countries north of the Equator, the countries south of that line pro ducing less than 20,000,000 tons an nually. Mr. Parker also presents a table showing the growth of the coal mining industry In the United States since 1868 in comparison with that of other countries of the world, from which it appears that during the period ct forty years the porcentagt of the world's total produced by tin1 V lied States has Increased from 11.52 tc 39.73, and that bIh-jq i?3i: this c untry has held first : ace among the coal producers. It now stands far in the lead of all others having so far outdistanced Great Britain that that country enn n longer be considered a rival, al though It is only nine years since II was supplanted by the United State as the greatest eoal-produclng coun try In the world.

Roosevelt's Messng-e. William D. Wheeler, assistant secretary of tho Department of Com merce and Labor, who arrived at the congress today aH the special repre sentative of President Koosevelt, brought the following message from the president: "(Jo out there and tell the con gress I believe In fair play." The message refers to the com plaints made to Koosevelt by western stockmen, who are aggrieved at the curtailment of grazing lands, claim ing that they face ruin through dis crimination in favor of agricultur ists. , President1 Case's Address In bis Introductory address to the congress today, President Case spoke as follows: "Let us hope that settlement of the unoccupied lands will he en couraged by tho government In sen sible ways. The idea prevailing In early days of the republic, that the public domain should be used as a revenue producer, abandoned In fa vor of the better method of using the same for settlement should not be revived. The west should be settled up. The quicker the public domain passes into private ownership tho better it will be for us. Iry farming homesteads should be en larged to at least '.120 or C40 acres A larger homestead should be given for dry farming and a sma'ler one to the irrigated distorts. "it is pleasing to note that dur ing the past year a great Imiietus ban been given to the Increase of our forest reserves and the conservation of our natural resources. The mag nlflcent work of President Koosevelt In star ting a movement that shall not only Increase the forests of the west, hut shall preserve the natural wealth already possessed, should have the hearty commendation of every west ern citizen. "Out of this remarkable advance ment of the trans-Mississippi conn try comes one great problem that overshadows all others now before us.

The Hist case to be taken up is that agalnst the Pacific Furniture & Lum- ber Company, a Los Angeles corpor- atlon whose olllcers and stockhold- ers are charged with having entered into a conspiracy with various other persons by which they succeeded In getting possession of about CO 00 acres of very valuable timber land acres oi very vaiuauie limner land " cu"y contended t- uie government omcinis mat me at- leged fraudulent conspiracy origin ally contemplated the wrongful seiz- re or a tract or 30,000 acres of the public domain, the objects of tho scheme being defeated only through the vigilance of the govern ment s representatives before tho conspirators could perfect their plan of operations. In- the trial of thlB case, the gov nment will be represented by racoy c. Meeker, special assistant to the attorney-general, and United States District Attorney John Me- Court. This case undoubtedly will be one of the most bittorty contested of the land-fraud causes that have been tried. The wealthy California de fendants for more than a year have resisted every, step that lias been taken by the government to force them to a trial, and it was not until few weeks ago that the removal f some of the principal defendants this state was directed by the courts after a hearing of the cane in hich much of the evidence which will he forced in the formal trial next week was presented by the gov- nment to justify Its demands fot the removal of the defendants to Ore-, gon. Krlbs Must Stand Trial. Judge Wolverton, in the United States court yesterday, overruled the emurrcr of Frederick A. Krlbs t: the complaints In 12 Individual caset n which Krlbs had been named a one of the defendants. These were n suits pending by the government nd were brought to cancel patents land acquired by the defendants nd subsequently transferred to ribs, many of tho alleged entry- men and original defendants In the suits being fictitious persons. Krlbs was granted 30 days' additional time to plead. In similar cases against James A. Robinson and George A. Miller, how ever, Krlbs, who also is a defendant. asserted the defense of an innocent purchaser of tho two tracts of tim ber land. District Attorney MeOourt nslsted that ft was not a legitimate efense, but Judge Wolverton held that the defendant had the right to establish the fact that he bought the land Innocently and without a kuow- dge of the unlawful methods by which It had been acquired from the government. United States Attorney MeCourt yesterday represented to Judge Wol verton that about September 10, or nearly three mouths after the gov ernment brought three suits against A. Smith. Frederick A. Kribs and lis C. Werner to recover stolen tim ber land, deeds wore filed transfer ring the land to the Linn & Lane i m ber Company.
