Two companies of National guard
were sent Into the Cabin Creek and
Paint Creek districts today to stop
the miners' march.
o
forces of Irregularities in certain pre
rlncts In Multnomah county, particu
larly, and a few other counties gen
erally. Their contention Is that many
democratic voters wrote Olcott's
name on their ballots as their choice
for governor, and that these votes
were given to Olcott as republican
votes, when they were nothing of the
sort. Hull's forces claim that the
votes cast for Olcott on democratic
litillols should not be counted as re
publican votes. If these are thrown
out, the republican gubernatorial
runner-up's adherents maintain, the
result would show that Hall really
won the republican nomination.
11 Is the contention of Hall's lieu
tenants that apparently democratic
votes counted for the republican, Ol
cott, were given to him In good faith
by election officials who assumed
that such was the proper procedure.
The Hall camp claims to have evi
dence that such Irregularities existed
and malnt&ln that ballot boxes shall
be opened to prove their contention.
Whether such practices occurred In
other counties than Multnomah coun
ty, particularly. Is possible, but Hall,
not being a rich man, and unable to
finance a wholesale recount of all
state prerlncts, a few will be recount
ed to furnish a premise, and then
Hall will enter the lists as an Inde
pendent candidate and seek the sup
port of his party as the roa) nomi
nee. When Hall was defeated by Olcott,
ertain elements whlrh had backed
hlpi. notably the Federnted Patriotic
societies and the Ku Klux Klan, In
timated thi t linll would run as an
lndeendent if they coultl fiersuade
him to do so. Falling this, their sup
port would be thrown to Walter
Pierre, the democratic nominee, in
an effort to defeat Olcott. Such talk
was common where men gathered
together tn discuss primary results.
Should Hall enter the lists, (t
MEXICAN BANDIT
would split Ihe republican vote, while
Ihe democratic vote would very like
ly go to Pierce. Many democrats ad

Wlth the favorable report yester
day afternoon by the senate com
merce committee on the rivers ana
harbors bill which Includes an ap
propriation, of $276,r00 tor the Im
provement of the Umpqua harbor,
the Kople of 'Douglas county see a
ray of hope which will probably ter
minate tn the passage of the bill in
congress. It signifies a victory in a
lonc-eustulned effort by the Port of
Umpqua, and the friends of the dis
trict, to obtain harbor Improvement
which will permit the entrance of
larger craft, especially lumber car
riers and thus give Impetus to the
development of the productive dis
trict adjacent.
The approved Hem of $276,500 Is
tho contribution wnlch the govern
ment was asked to make to the con
struction of the soutih Jetty tX the
Umpqua harbor entrance. An equal
sum' will' he' appropriated by tha
Port of Umpqua. The Jetty Is to be
4300 feet long.
In the natural course of Washing-
Ion routine the amount should be
available ts soon as tbe rivers and
harbors 'bill is adopted, and no con
siderable time should elapse until
actual construction Is commenced.
Tbe Umpqua river is the largest
river emptying Inte the Pacific ocean
between the Columbia river on the
north and the Sacramento river on
the south. It Is formed by the Junc
tion of the north and south forks,
which take their rise In the Cascade
and Calapoola mountains about 120
miles east of the Oregon cot line
at an elevation of alwut 6,000 feet,
and flow In a general northwesterly
direction, finally emptying Into the
Pacific ocean about 18.1 miles south
of the Columbia river and about 443
miles north of the San Francisco bay.
With Its tributaries, It drains over
4800 square miles, subject to mod
erately heavy rainfall. From the
Junction of the rivers below Rose
burg to Bcnltsburg It Is a succes
sion of roefcy rapids with pools of
quiet water between, with varying
length and depth and an average
low-water width of about 500 feet.
This stretch of river Is not navlgnhlo
for any kind of boats at low water,
nor Is navigation practical at the In
termediate or highest stages, the riv
er between Seotlsburg and Its mouth
Is navigable. Hosts drawing about 17
feet to 1 SV4 feet, loaded, ran nayl
cale 'between the mouth and Scotts
burg, fcliout 30 miles.
The t'mrxiita river for the last
four miles before entering the ocean
flows In a southerly direction and
before any Improvements hsd been
made on the bar. It was separated
from the ocean by a broad sand spit
about one mile wide.
To the east and south the river Is
bounded by a rocky shore covered
with tlmlier. A marked Indentation

the river is about 61,000 cubic feet
