The official count of tha ballots at the Presidential election in "Wasco County was completed tonight, resulting as fol lows: Republican 2095. Democratic 536, Prohi bition 226, Socialist 231, People's 29. for prohibition DCS, against 1753. It is rumored that the anti-proms or. Hood River will demand a recount of the ballots cast in the recent election In the five precincts comprising the Hood River District, namely: East, West and South Hood River, "Viento and Baldwin, since the cause was carried by a margin of but four votes. SALEM, Or-. -lCov. 10. (Special) If the local option law succeeds all previous laws regarding . the sale of liquors, the State Fair will be "dry" next FalL CheT mawa precinct in which the fair grounds are located, voted in favor of prohibition, the vote being 109 for and 32 against. 'Unless laws heretofore in force remain in effect, the barroom at the fair grounds racetrack must be abandoned or the Leg islature must make special provision for the sale of llauors there. Prior to 1901 the sale of liquors at the flar rounds was governed by the general laws of the state, and the man to whom the barroom privileges were let secured . ifrPTiHf. from the County Court. In order to secure a license he was compelled to procure the signatures of a majority of the voters of the precinct, and this was sometimes difficult. ' For the purpose of removing this trou ble, the Legislature passed an act In 1301 permitting the State Board or Agricul ture to license all kinds of business on the fair grounds and to authorize the sale of liquors for 30 days. Since that time the bar privilege has been granted among the other concessions at tne lair, and the board has had no trouble in se curing a good price for the privilege. As the recipient of this privilege had no county license fee to pay and need not incur the expense of procuring the neces sary signatures to his petition, he could afford to pay a higher price ior tne con cession. When the prohibition question was pre sented in the recent campaign, no spe cial thought was given to Chemawa pre cinct, and nothing was said as to the possible effect of the vote upon the sale of liquors at the fair. The majority in favor of prohibition in that precinct, how ever, raises the question whether liquor can now be sold there. There seems to he no legal reason why the local option 'law should be less effective there than elsewhere, for the law expressly forbids the sale of liquor in any precinct where a majority of the vote was in favor of prohibition. The Legislature has power to renew the special authority to the State Board of Agriculture to grant licenses to sell liquor. and this the Legislature may be asked 'to do. In the act of 1301 the Legislature f.-ri-ntArI thA fair CTOunda from those pro- U'kions of the general laws which require 'that a license shall be procured from the "County Court The Legislature appar ently has just as much right now to ex cept the fair grounds from the provisions of the local option law as it had to make the exception in 190L An expression of mingled surprise and disgust spread oved the features of W. H. Downing, president of the State .Fair Board, when he was told today that prohibition had carried in Chemawa Precinct It had not occurred to him that the fair irrounds are in Chemawa. Precinct and that the) pre cinct might go for prohibition. "Well, I'll be hanged," he exclaimed in disgust "That knocks $1000 a year out of the state fair's revenues, and we will feel the loss of It I don't think anv member of the board thdught of the possible result of the prohibition vote In that precinct or we would liave got in and talked the matter over with the people out there and could prob ably have gained the few votes neces sary to turn the precinct against prohl hltion. I don't think any one thought of it for not a word has been said on the subject I think we shall make an effort to liave the Legislature renew our spe cial authority to grant a license during fair week."

SALMON CAUGHT ILLEGALLY. Clackamas People Call Situation to Attention of State Representative. OREGON CITT. Or.. Nov. 10. (Spe claL) Complaint of flagrant violations of the salmon fishing law are being made by Interested Clackamas County people to Representative-elect C. G. Huntley, of this city, who, as a member of the State Legislature, will seek to have corrected existing abuses and their repetition in the future. These complaints have been made to Fish Warden Van Dusen. who has declined to remedy the situation be cause of a lack of funds. Fishing is by law prohibited within two miles of any hatchery, but this law Is being notoriously transgressed. There Is made a provision In the same law for the -patrollng of the Clackamas River within the, restricted "districts about a "hatchery, DUt fishing -for salmon with nets is being openly carried on within one half mile of the Government hatchery near the city, with, the result that the take of salmon at the hatchery will not exceed rone-third that of last year. At this, time last year. 10480,000 eggs had been secured for the Government hatch ery while but 3,000.000 eggs have been taken this year. Of this season's take Superintendent Walllck reports more than 1.000,000 eggs have been taken dur ing the past 10 days. Much indignation exists among the people of Oregon C&y with present con ditions, and local fishermen are known to be fishing in violation of the law for the reason that nothing has been done to regulate the practice at other places. Oregon City people view the situation as one of great importance to the Industry Itself, and question whether or not the Government In Its efforts to promote the propagation of this fish will not be discouraged by the lack of Interest and the failure of the state authorities to provide the needed protection by enforc ing the statutes as they are now framed. ( Atkinson Names Assistants. OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 10. (Special.) In accordance with an agreement reached at the time of the State Convention at SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 10. (SpeclaL) King County gives Roosevelt a plu rality of 15,000; Mead carries this coun ty by 7000. Pierce goes Republican on National issues by 7500 and gives Mead 1750. Spokane is more than 4500 strong for Roosevelt though Turner carries the county by less than half its esti mated plurality. The State of Washington placed no limit on its Roosevelt vote. Three fourths of the voteYs who cast ballots for him might have stayed at home and still he would have carried the state. Though the state count is still lncoxn pleted and Inaccurate, It is evident the Roosevelt electors have a plurality over Parker of 70,000 or better. This is 30.000 stronger than the wild est Republican estimates made it be fore election, and as much better than the first returns indicated. The state was practically unanimous, for the sparse 24,000 Parker votes out of total that will exceed when off-party totals are finished 125.000 is not to be seriously considered. Shrewd political observers thought the Gubernatorial contest close, though they gave Mead the benefit of the . dis tribution of votes. He has a plurality of approximately 20,000, a result no po litical forecast based on observation, knowledge of conditions and trend of sentiment showed. Mead is elected by the greatest plurality given a candidate for Governor, principally because the state was Roosevelt to the core. The completed returns lor King County have not been officially can vassed. Unofficial counts, secured when the precinct count was completed at 1:30 P. M. today, give Roosevelt a plu rality of 15,059, and Mead 6996. These figures will be changed in the official canvass but slightly, only as the a ecu rate count changes an unofficial and hurried canvass. As they stand they in dicate a cut of 4000 Roosevelt voters on the head of the state ticket No politician figured on more than half this cut The Oregonlan forecast of a 3000 plurality for Mead, the near est correct ever published, was based on a cut of 2000 Republicans, and the best forecast made of this county failed to appreciate what the "silent vote' meant It signified Rooseveltism, just as it did everywhere In the state. Next to Roosevelt's big plurality the independent voting on county and state candidates was the feature of the elec tlon. The state canvass is not complet cd now, 48 hours after the polls closed. The following, though, is approximately correct on Northwestern pluralities Roosevelt. Mead.

Thurston County Attorney Will HaYe Revenge for His Defeat. OLYMPIA. Wash., Nov. 10. (Special.)- County Attorney Frank C. Owlngs has be gun a crusade against violations of the law by saloons In this city. For several months past gambling has been running wide open, and roulette, faro and stud-poker games have been as open to access as in the days prior to the pas sage of the law making the conducting of gambling a felony. The closing of gam bling In Seattle, Portland and Spokane has caused a large Influx of hangers-on of such places to Olympia, and on the recent campaign this class of people was lined up solidly against the Republican state and county ticket Owings was one of those who went down to defeat as a result, and the full "returns from the county hardly became known before Owlngs instructed the Sheriff to notify all saloons that gambling must cease and that the city law requiring the closing of saloons at midnight and all day Sunday must be observed to the letter. This notice was served yesterday, and last evening not a gambling game was run ning, while all slot machines were turned Rep. Rep. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 10 (Special.)

It is thought the remains of Mr. Weber will be found in the debris. Coroner Shepard and a jury have viewed the remains and await the testimony of the autopsy by the physicians. Suspicious looking wounds were found on the little boy- in the shape of cuts on the head and a bullet wound was found in the mother's breast There was blood on her clothing. Miss Weber's body was so badly burned that no wounds were visible. If the husband and father was burned, no one is left to tell the tale. as the only other surviving member of the family, Adolph Weber, aged 20, was not at home. TOOTH BETRAYS HIM. Robber Is Identified While on the Operating Table. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 10. A Bensatlon was unearthed at the Los Angeles police headquarters today when Fred West who was wounded last night by Policeman Hendrickson while he "was attempting to rob s dwelling, was identified on the operat ing table at the Emergency Hospital as P. David KInrey, wanted in Oakland for the murder of Policeman James H. Smith on November 27, 1903, and for whom a reward of $1250 is standing. The identification was made by Detec tive-Paul Flammer, who, In examining the mouth of the prisoner, discovered a false porcelain tooth, which cor responds with the printed description of the murderer of Smith. The crime for which Kinrey is wanted was one of the most sensational in the police annals of the state. After a long" series of burglaries in Oakland during the Fall of 1903, Kinrey, to getber with Frank Goldstein, was de tected on the night of November 27 at tempting to enter a private house there A pistol duel between the officers and the burglars ensued, In which the offi cer shot and killed Goldstein and was pursuing and firing at Kinrey when the latter turned and shot the officer dead. Kinrey succeeded in making his es cape from tne city, and while a search for him has been kept up from the date of the crime, no trace of him has been found until today. Tacoma John D.

Forest Grove had never, voted against prohibition before, and the south precinct which was thought to, be the strongest temperance precinct in Washington County, gave & majority of iz against prohibition. The common opln loa hre Is that the vote does sot show ordinance, and Mr. Owings would not say today how he had decided to proceed.
