J POLLS CLOSE AT EIGHT O'CLOCK Ilcrnuse nf Size of the ilnllot the Ciiiinly Itctiirns Will Come in Slow Ituial Voters Were Out Knrly. Reports received here this after noon from almost every section of Douglas County indicate that the vote cast at today's election will be the heaviest in the history of this section of the state, and that the re sults of the several local contests will not be known before some time tomorrow. The skies cleared following yes terday's heavy rain and early activity was noted in the rural districts. At 'noon today many of the outlying dis tricts had caHt more than half of the registered vote. This is considered (lulte remarkable when it is stated that many ranchers are required to travel from four to ten miles to cast their ballots. The polls opened at 8 o'clock litis morning, and within a few minutes afterward many voters had congre gated at the several polling places in this city. Although the vote cast up to 3 o'clock this afternoon was the heaviest recorded here in the history of the city, there were few infrac tions of the corrupt practices act. In only a few Instances were the officers called upon to curb alleged viola tions of the election laws. In the language of Sheriff Quine, today's election was probably the most or derly event of Its kind ever held in this city. At 3 o'clock a total of 1303 votes had been cast in the ten Roseburg precincts. The registration of the ten precincts Included in the city is about 2200, Indicating that not less than 110 per cunt of the total vote will be cast by the time the polls close at 8 o'clock this evening. The total vole in each precinct In the city at 3 o'clock this afternoon follows: Lane Roseburg Hermann Caro . . 150 . .132 . .125 . .140 Woodward .136 Hamilton 100 Bellows 90 Uinpqua 170 Henson 127 Deer Creek 133 Totul 1303 lteports received from Edenbower, Oreen, Uixonville, and ninny other rural districts this afternoon were to the effect that the voting was brisk and that not less than !I0 per cent of the registered vote of those pre cincts would be cast by 7 o'clock. At Sutherlin practically two-thirds of the registered vote had been cast at noon, while in Oakland similar con ditions prevailed. Yoncalla, Drain, Myrtle Creek, Kiddie, Glendale, Gar diner and Iteedsport also reported heavy balloting. Because of the National election there was a substantial Increase in interest among the women of the city. They were out early and at 4 o'clock this afternoon the members of the election boards predicted that few of them would fail to take ad vantage of their constitutional rights and vote for their choice for Presi dent. Reports from the rural dis tricts indicate that the women there are also taking an active interest in the election and are voting the entire ballot. While it is cliff IciHt to sound the sentiment of the voters of the city this afternoon, it Is evident that the nfJ brewers' amendment will be defeated in Roseburg by a big majority. also possible that the voters Will place their atamp of disapproval on the absolute prohibition measure, al though the result Of the vote on this amendment cannot be determined un til the votes are counted. The mem bers of the local temperance organi zations have waged a bitter fight against the brewers' amendment, and have had the assistance of a num ber of Koseburg's most prominent speakers. The newspapers of the city have also aided materially in the fight against this amendment. i i u iuuiilt iiiir in ififMiH i ii iims ; fight, the members of the Women !T Christian Temperance Cnfon met tlie basement of the Presbyterian I church early this morning, where they held a brief prayer meeting.
