Review to Give
Bulletin Service.
The vote being cast in Douglas
county today will be the heaviest
ever recorded, according to indica
tions at an early hour this after
noon. In Rose burg It was reported
at 10 o'clock that the vote at that
hour Was heavier than is usually
recorded by noon, even in a gen
eral election. Voters were on hand
in many of the polling places even
before the booths were opened, and
frequently voters had to stand in
line to await their turn to vote. By
noon the totals In many of the
precincts were greater than mark
, the usual election, while the vot
ing was still continuing during the
early afternoon without check. As
j the polls remain open until 8
'o clock tonight there is every pros
pect that the total number of
votes cast will be larger than ever
before in the history of the city.
The same conditions hold true
throughout the county generally,
according to reports from . other
dlatrlcls. The weather was fair.
which was another factor in bring
ing out a larger vote, making ii
possible for the voters to travel to
the polls without discomfort.
In practically all of the larger
precincts of the county the double
election board system is being us
ed. In this system thu counting
board starts work at 10 o'clock and
liauna thA intnn ennnt rtA n a thav sro

count can be made, but this per
mits the counting board to keep up
closely with the vote.
The double election board plan
will enable returns to be received
quickly from the major precincts,
so that by midnight tonight the
general, county results , should be
pretty well established, except,
perhaps, in some of the exceeding
ly close contests.

MARKET IMPROVING
New Proposals Will Be
Received by Board of
Directors on No
vember 14.
At a meeting of the director, ot
the Douglas County Turkey Grow
ers' association at Oakland last
night all bids on the first pool
ortered by the association were
rejected, the price being deemed
too low. There were a large num
ber ot representatives of eastern
buyers on hand to attend the open
ing of the bids, and it tvas claim
ed by these buyers that the price
offered was all that the market
would Justify, but the directors
maintained that conditions indi
cate a higher price, and o It was
voted unanimously to hold the
birds until a later date.
Bids ranged from 381 cents to
4ll cents per pound varying ac
cording to the options of the bid
ders garding the receiving of the
birds loose or F. O. B. cars.
It was derided that market con
ditions Justify a higher price, and
that the outlook is for a higher fig-
jure at
later date. Upon this
.."freiiise the pool and recdive new
bids November i.
"The market situation Is Tery
hazy at the present time," Herbert
Beyers, the association manager,
stated this morning. "The birds
that we advertised last night,
which amounted to about three
carloads, would be available only
for eastern shipment, so that the
prices offered apply only to the
markets of the east We believe
that thu Pacific coast offers ua a
better market, but by receiving
bids a cain on the 14th we still
leave the field open to both east
ern and coast buyers, as the bids
can be handled at that date by
express and Ivill stil lreach tha
eastern markets in time ' for
Thanksgiving trade. I
"We will immediately secure a
new Inventory and will call for
bids again. The later maturity of
birds will increase the pool, we ex-1
pect, to at least four carloads."

bword received here, was sold for
