During the day dozens of the faithful dropped 'In for a brief conference with Chairman Sweek and aecretary Ryan, 'of the state com mittee, or George H. Thomas, chairman of the County Central Committee. Others stood around In small groups and dis cussed the result of today's election. Only one outcome the election of Bryan could be foreseen by those asked for an opinion. That belief found some further encour agement lata In the afternoon when a Bryan supporter rushed Into headquarters and excitedly declared that betting on the result In Oregon had dropped to a margin .of f'X) plurality and that wagers by Re- , publicans could not be obtained on a greater figure. 'Reports that have been reaching ' Democratic headquarters since Saturday fully Justify my estimate of 360 plurality fnr Bryan In Oregon," said Secretary Ryan, of the Democratic State Central Committee yesterday. "There Is no ques tion but that we shall carry the state." "You may say for me." followed County Chairman Thomas, "that Bryan will carry Multnomah County. I am not pre pared to estimate his probable plurality In the county, but his vote will surprise even the most sanguine Democrat."

SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 2. (Special.) While D. T. Ham. chairman of the Republican Central Committee, Is claiming that Spokane County will give the head of the ticket at least 4000 majority, and E. A. Child, chairman of the Democratic committee. Is claiming the county for Bryan by 1000. it Is the general opinion that Taft and Cos grove will have at least 3500 majority, and Polndexter and the balance of the ticket nearly as much. The full county ticket Is' surely Republican, but two Legislative Districts are In doubt. ' We will give Taft 4000 majority.:' said D. T. Ham. "and we will give the State legislature and county tickets as much." ;'From the reports which are coming In from all over the county, the situa tion, from a Democratic standpoint. Is most satisfactory," says E. A. Child. "We expect to carry the county for Bryan. Paulson and Goodyear by a small majority, perhaps 1000. As to the county and Legislative tickets, the con test will be a close one. but we will elect the majority of our candidates and bave a good chance to elect the whole ticket." claiming the" state, but unbiased opinion seems to be that Taft will have a sub stantial plurality. There is much interest In the gubernatorial tight, and the Capital News iDem.) claims the election or .noses Alexander by about 5000. Republicans claim James H. Brady will have at least lo.'juu plurality. Southern Idaho has a large-proportion of Mormon voters, and a heavy- Republican rote Is looked for in this part of the state. The Legislature undoubtedly will be Republican, insuring the re-election of United Slates natof Heyburn. The political situation was sim-.'wnal complicated today by the practical with drawal of the Independence . League ticket. C. C. Fuller.

Bryan and the Democratic Gubernato rial candidate will have 10.000 major ity, according to the Democratic chair man. ' STATE TICKET BADLY SPLIT Republican Nominees Will Run Be hind. Taft In Washington. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 2. (Special.) With the last gun fired In King County, tha hotbed of Washington poll tics, by the principal speakers of the campaign. John Pattlson. Democratic nominee for Governor, and William E. Humphrey, nominee for Congress, chairmen of both parties tonight gave out their clainia for tomorrows elec tion. EIHs DeBruller. state Republican chairman, declares that Washington will go Republican by 20.000 and that Taffs majority will be more. -than 40, 000. Roosevelt carried the state by 72.000. Unbiased indications are that the labor vote will go with a fair strength for Bryan. Unionists are well organ ized and are carrying on a strong fight. Indications also point to a badly Bpllt atate and county ticket. The latest statements given out by Democratic headquarters claim the state bv 20,000 and King County by 5000. The betting odds on Taft here are 2 to 1. There has been about I1,000 posted on general results. There Is but little Bryan money left to be had. Chairman Terry, of the Demo crats: declares that not less than SO per cent of the labor vote will go for Bryan electors. With the exception of the strong campaigning done by John Pattlson, Democratic candidate for Governor, the Democrats o-jtside of King County have BUYING STATE LAND Sales Past Two Years Aggre- 'gate 243,216 Acres.

The eve of elec tion finds both the Republican and Xymocrallc parties confident of suc cess In the State of Washington. A careful poll by counties has caused the Republicans to predict that the state will go at least 20.000 for Taft and Sherman. The Iemocrats expect to carry the state by at least 4600. Kast Side Democrats declare they will elect William C. Goodyear to Congress Instead of Miles Polndexter. John T. Terrey. chairman of the King County Democratic committee, and representing the largest county organization In the state, declares hla party will beat the Republicans In this, their stronghold. The State of Washington in 1904 gave Roosevelt 101,540 votes. Parker received JS.098 and Debs 10.022. The vote this year will be between 175.000 and 200.000. v The returns throughout the state will be late, as the polls In the municipal ities open at 8 o'clock In the morning and close at 8 at night- In the country precincts the polls open at 7 and close at, - IDAHO IS FOR TAFT BY t20s000 Both Parties Claim Governorship.

Nov. 2. (Special.) That there is confidence in the future value of unimproved lands in Oregon is- Indicated by the fact that sales of state land during the past two years aggregated 243.21$ acres .as compared with 47.037 acres for the preceding two years, and much of the land sold brought a considerably higher price than was paid for land sold in the last biennial period.' There is not a corresponding Increase In cash receipts, however, for the rea son that sales are made on the install ment plan and the money received dur ing the past two years was to a large extent payments on sales made In pre vious years. The Increased payments will be shown In subsequent reports. As it is, however, the receipts were 2823.020. as compared with $388,996 during the years 1905 and 1906. The sales and receipts for the last two years are shown by the biennial re port of the State Land Board, which was completed today by Clerk G. G. Brown. . Because of the low rate of Interest charged by the state there has been a demand for loans from the school fund and the amount of loans has in creased In proportion to the increased amount of the fund. The loans during the past twostyears amounted to 82. 042.660. as compared with 21.588.230 during the preceding two years. At the date of the report. October 1, there was but HI. 484. 86 in cash In the treas ury credited to the common school fund, all the rest, amounting to 14. 206.713.42. being Vut- at interest. In addition to this there Is due the state school fund from the American Bond ing Company $288.46.87 on account of the failure of the TJtle Guaranty & Trust Company bank. It will thus be seen that the common school fund, amounts to about $4,500,000. There are also outstanding certifi cates of sale upon which there is due $676,254.77. drawing interest at 5 per cent, making the total of interest drawing funds to' the credit of the common school fund over $5,100,000. During the two years the Board cancelled 158 certificates of sales cov ering 116.463 acres upon which repay ments were made to the amount of $115,183.70, but a large part of this land was resold at double the price at which the first sale was made. In the case of 35.852 acres of this total, the land had originally been sold at $1.25 an acre but the sales were can celled for fraud. The land will now bring not less than $8.75 an acre. The Board suggests no changes In the state land laws, but says that the act of 1907 Is very comprehensive and satisfactory. not waged a strong fight. Pattlson un doubtedly will run ahead of his ticket. Repeated reports of the illness of B. O. Cosgrove has done much to take votes away from him. These reports have caused the R puDliran state n.anagement no little concern.

BOTH CLAIMING CALIFORNIA Expef' Opinion, However, Declares State Safe for Taft. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2. Expert opinion leaves California In the Repub lican column as regards the National ticket, but it is difficult to strike a me dium between the 20.000 plurality claimed by the Democrats and the 45.000 that General George Stone gives Taft In his forecast. In several of tne larger cities local contests are engaging a major share of attention and National affaire are re pnrrled with something approaching Apathy. It is expected that the Demo cratic minority in the Sxate Legislature will be strengthened to some extent, but not sufficiently to affect the election of a United States Senator to succeed George C. Perkins. Democrats base their strong est hopes of breaking the solid Repub lican Congressional delegation from the state on the campaign waged against Julius Kahn. in the Fourth, and a A. Hayes', in the Fifth districts. The Re publicans claim a victory for both. It Is conceded that the labor element will cut a very considerable figure in the result, but in California, as elsewhere in the country, a majority of the working men is claimed by both Democrats and Republicans. The state will vote upon the question of electing Senators by a direct vote of the people. ' Med ford Holds Big Rally. MEDFORD, Or.. Nov. 2. (Special.)

Nov. 2. (Special.) For the second time within a week a bullet has been fired at a Southern Pacific passenger train, either by acci dent or design. The latter shooting occurred Saturday afternoon when passenger train No. 14 was in the vicinity of Reuben, a station about GTT miles south of Roseburg. The bullet entered a window and struck the op posite side of the car where It was found by a brakeman deeply embedded in the wood. The shooting a week before occurred In almost. the same place. Just an In stant before the bullet passed through the window, a lady who was occupy ing that seat had held a small child on her lap. A slight move on the child's part saved Its life, as it was directly in the path of the bullet. On the opposite side of the car the bullet passed between two lltle girls, both siting in the same seat. '. FOR NEW WATER SYSTEM Engineer at Vancouver Favorable to ' Lewis . River Project. VANCOUVER. Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe cial.)

When buying jewelry of any kind, it's . worth more than anything else to know that you are get ting the genuine.' You. can find an as sortment of all kinds of jewelry, both in the solid and plate, at my store, that cannot be surpassed in the Northwest. It's a fact that what ever 3rou buy of me is the genuine. If you. .want solid gold, you get it; if it's plate, I have it for you. The principal feature of jewelry-buying, that should be more carefully followed than any other, is that you go where the best goods are sold where the best judges of fine jewelry go for their jewelry. - If you will select any article of jewelry that I have for sale, you will be safe in the knowledge that you have bought the genuine, and that there is exclusiveness to the design and pattern. - I extend an invitation to all who appreciate fine jewelry to call and in spect my display.
