OREGON CITY. June 7. County Clerk
Dixon and Justices Haines, of Oswego,
and Schuebel, of Oregon City, began mak
ing an official canvass of the election re
turns this afternoon. The unofficial count
of the vote for E. E. Cooper, Citizens can
didate for Clerk, and Weldon Shank, the
Republican. Is so unsatisfactory that It
will take the official count to determine
which is elected. A contest may result
from the close vote. This- morning, G. B.
Dimlck, on behalf of Sbaak, objected to
Schuebel serving on the election board,
requesting that Justice Wait, of Canby,
be appointed In his place. Schuebel and
Wait are both members of the Citizens
party. However, finally the objections
were withdrawn.
Leading Republicans aeaerted today that
in the event Cooper was found to be
elected by a small majority, an attempt
"would be made to throw out the votes of
Tualatin and Maple Lane Precincts, on
account of nonfreeholder witnesses cer
tifying for voters who had not registered.
In the event that this plan shall be car
ried out. It would probably result in seat
ing Shank. Some o'f the Citizens man.
agers. however, contend that illegal votes
of this "kind were cast In precincts largely
Republican.

Marlon County.
SALEM, June 7. The official canvass of
the Marion County election returns, which
was begun this morning, developed noth
ing new. It was Teported that the offi
cial count would show an error of 10
votes for Justice of the Peace, giving
Reynolds 10 more and electing him by a
majority of 9. but It still appears that he
was defeated by one vote. It Is possible
that a recount of the ballots may be had
In order to determine whether an error
was made In the first c6unL
The 10 Salem precincts cast 631 votes
for, and 645 against the equal suffrage
amendment. As there were over 1900 votes
cast In these precincts, the amendment
failed to carry here by at least 270. It Is
thought that about the same ratio pre
vails In the country precincts.

Miss Isabclle Trullinger. of Astoria, will take place at the First Presbyterian

nection at events a llfp-long friend of Governor Geer's father. Miss Trullinger

It has been the custom of the Board of
Education to elect the subordinate officials
without any special consultation with tni
superintendent. As a resu.t of this meth
od there has been almost constant friction
In somo of the Institutions, the superin
tendent and faculty falling to agree. This
has been particularly true at the Blind
School. A year ago Superintendent Car
ter, of the Blind School, assured the board
that If they would select a faculty satis
factory to him he would conduct the
school without friction. The board took
him at his word, and after giving him
another year In which to demonstrate his
abhlty to run the school smoothly, they
elected a faculty approved by htm. A
member of the board said today that the
experiment has proved satisfactory, as
there has been harmony at the Blind
School all the year.

of Bay Center, from taking oysters from
oyster beds which the former claimed, but
waicn me latter had purchased from the

beds by right of -undisputed possession

and that Captain Riddell had not given
the statutory notice of his desire to re
move the oysters on the beds when the
land was sold to the defendant; hence, he
had no right to remove them now. The
case will be appealed, and may go to the
United States Supreme Court.
