LATE KE POUTS.
Word received late this af-
ternoon from Riddle was to
the effect that George Quine
carried the iiid.llo and Nichols
precincts by a majority of 87
votes. The large number of .
votes cast In the Keedsport pre
cinct made It impossible to
get any complete returns from
that place. A message from
there at 2 o'clock stated that
half of the votes were counted
and Qulno bad a lead of 20
sentatives and commissioners ar9
favorite sons, the votea are so vary
Ing that a check at this time is very
difficult.
lu the special election every meas
ure appears to have carried with tho
exception of the soldiers.' sailors'
and marines' educational aid revenue
bill. With 13 precincts complete at
noon today, tuo vote ou speciul uieaa
uies in thu couny siood: Kniluont do
main, for Go!), against 205; 4 per
cent limitation lor road Indebted
ness, for 540, against 400; restoring
capital puuisiiment, for 5'5a, against
410; Crook and Curry county
amendment, for 380, against 330;
successor to governor, for 485,
against 364; higher educational tax,
for 540, against 480; soldiers,' ail
ors' and marines' educational aid
revenue bill, for 461, against 468;
stato elementary school fund tax,
for 550, against 395; blind school,
for 503, against 316.
Decauso of the failure of some of
the Judges of city election boards,
the returns of tho city olection we.-e
not posted and no statements were
mado, '.consequently, full return1!
from this vote were not obtalunble
today. However, it is believed that
all of the measures have carried, the
returns from six precincts wulcn
have reported complete leading to
this conclusion. These six precincts
voted as follows:
Municlpul Light and Power Plant.
Yes, 362; no, 135
ltc-peal Cooa Bay R. R. Bonds
Yes, 357; no, 152.
Helical Itock Creek K. H. Boutin.
Yes, 34-1; no. 410.
Boxing Commission.
Yes, 262; no, 248.
Aviation Field.
Yes, -898; no, 229.
Cainp Grounds.
Yes. 313; no, 209.
In the race for secretary of s'.nto,
Sam Kojer leads with a vole of 269
out of 19 precincts. Parsons is hlK
closest opponent with 167. B. F.
Jones, a former resident of Itose-
burir. is a close third wltn iti.
Other votes are: Coburn 95. Lockley
92. Wood 87. and scnumerman oi.
The county race for sheriff Is liy
far the most exciting. With 19 pro
ducts reporting, Starmer led by 31
votej. Quine having 766 votes tind
Starmet 797. Later precincts report
ing are making changes, Starmer.,
hmnir. maintaining a slight lead.
The outcome of this race doubtless
depends upon Reedsport, wnero o"u
votes were cast, a great deal of In
terest having been developed In that
locality by the Port of Umpqua elec
tlon. Both candidates claim Reeds
port ,and as the election officials a.-o
still counting ballots at that piece,
the result is In doubt.
Because of tho failure of many of
the election Judges to return their
statements properly, the task of com
piling returns has been made very
j,. hni fust as nreclncts are
nnh 'in thev are being recorded i
and the results bulletined. The count
was slow on account of the length or
the ballot, and many boards did net
complete their tasks until a. most
noon today, while In some of the
larsrer outside precincts counting was
still in progress at noon today.

gardless i f the spreading wave of
price reductions, A .sl .tuMi Atiorney
vxeueral v,arvun announced lust nlgl-.t
hut the government's c-iforta at
hunting down profiteering merchunts
through investigation of prolils
made by individual stores has bcon
(-X tended to more than a score of
cities. Tactics employed by the
"flying squadron" of the departim-iit
of Justice In New York wero being
employed, he said, in the larger
cities from coast to coast.
While Mr. Uarvan tiectarcd he was
gratified at the price drop reported
in nearly every community und did
not believe the department "de
served too much of the credit," he
would not Indorse claims of some
merchants that they were actuated
by patriotic motives.
"rauiotlKin" tilled Buncombe.
"That stuff is purest buncombe,"
Mr. Gervan said. "If they are pa
triotic now, where was their patriot
ism a year ago, when prices wer?
going up and, incidentally, those
i'ellows were making more and more
money?
"There are three things respon
sible for this clamor of merchants to
got on the band wagon of falling
prices: Tuo women of the country
have stopped buying articles at exor
bitant prices; the market has
broken, something which could not
be avoided, and a lot of people saw
Indictments for profiteering coining.
I see that few. if any, of the mer
chants were sure" that the depart
ment's agents were not at the mo
ment gathering ovidence of their
stores. They simply saw the light."
Mr. Garvan said the women and
the press of the country had fpriued
a "combination" to break the power
of the profiteer and believed they
had succeeded. While tho downward
trend may not continue as rapidly
as it now appears, Mr. Garvan said
he believed the peak had been
passed and that "a general recession
had set in. which might go a long
way toward re-establishing a normal
condition." But, he explaineed,
"normal" must not be construed to
mean pre-war price levels.
Trade Association Scored.
Mr. Garvan said there was a "very
general campaign" on now by sev
erul national trade ai-soclatlons,
which he said were attempting to
nntllfy efTorts to bring down prices.
"There is a retail clothiers' organi
zation," Mr. Garvan continued,
"which has written to all its mem
bers urging them to appeal to their
congressmen and senntors to support
the Knox peace resolution. By that
they hope to end any and all war
powers by which profiteering can be
punished. That's why these claim
of patriotism in cutting prices are
all rot."
The National Suit. Cloak and Skirt
Manufacturers' association. Mr. Gar
van said, has decreed that "skirts
nnd roots must be longer for fall
and winter." aid he has telograpned

In the price-reduction campaign urg
ing them to stick together to defect
such a plan.
Continuing Slump Seen.
Department agents now are work
ing on books of numerous large
manufacturing plants, seeking evi
dence as to profits, according to Mr.
Garvan, who said the Investigation
would be extended rapidly and. along
broad lines.
Tho action or the bankers who
pledged themselves at a coherence
here Tuesdsy to restrict loans ami
compel liquidation of "frozen cred
its" was certain to nave mum nw
ficlnl effect. Mr. Garvan believed.
"With the bankers refusing to ex
tend loans, the public buying less
than at any time since the war b
n .nil a general resentment
against the profiteering prices,
something had to pop," Mr. Garvai
declared. On that analysis of the j
.inn he hased his belief, he said,.
of a continuation of the price slump.
