Nov. S. Special.) Further returns from the counties of the state confirm the results of the election printed yesterday, but show that the estimate of 45.0f0 as Taffs plurality in the aiate is entirely too low. His plurality Is probably ap proximately 50.000. or 20.000 more than the Republican state chairman had es timated. Only one county In the state. Whitman, failed to give Cos grove. Republican nominee for Gov ernor, a majority. Whitman is the borne of John PatUson. Democratic candidate. Returns Indicate that both the two proposed constitutional amendments have failed of passage, the tax amend ment being overwhelmingly defeated and the eminent domain amendment being defeated by a smaller majority. Cosrrove Makes Great Race. Cosgrove ran well up beside the electoral ticket. In fact, in Skagit County he received more votes than Taft. In the First and Second Con gressional districts, respectively. Hum phrey and Cushman had a walkaway. The contest was somewhat closer in the Third district, where Miles C. Poln hxter. Republican, was elected over William Goodyear. Iemocrat. but nevertheless I'oindexter got in by a majority that would be considered big in an Eastern state. Socialists Poll 12.000. The Hlsgen vote In the state was practically negligible, but Chafiin. the Prohibitionist, polled a respectable vole. As indicated, the Socialist vote approximates 13.000. Only one "sticker" candidate, or candidate running on a nonpartisan platform, in the entire state got In. He was on the county ticket In Skamania County. Three Democratic county officers were elected in Kittitas County, three in Skamania, two in Clallam and four in Ferry. Hall. Democrat, defeated Halteman, Republican, for the Legisla ture In Ferry County. D. Paul, Demo crat, is reported elected to the Senate from the district Including Okanogan, Ferry and Douglas counties. It Is possible that five or six other Demo crats will reach the Legislature to Join .Will Graves and George F. Cot teriU. holdover Democratic State Senators, but no more than that. Poindexter Gets Big Vote. The total mebershlp of the Senate Is 42 and of the House 95. The Demo cratic successes enumerated include all they have secured in the entire atace.

MULTNOMAH GIVES PLURALITY OF 7849 Official Count Completed and McArthur's Predictions Are Justified. GETS MANY TELEGRAMS Secretary Keceives Message of Con gratulation From Hitchcock, Also From Senator Beverldge, Com plimenting on His Guess. Multnomah County gave Taft a plu rality of 7949. County Clerk Fields yesterday completed the official count, which shows the following vote: Taft, 17.819; Bryan, 9870; Chafin, 630; Debs. 1455; Hlsgen. 45. The total number of votes cast, against Taft in the county was 12,000, giving him a majority of 5819. Taft carried the East and West sides and the country precincts by substan tial pluralities, averaging nearly two to one over the Democratic nominee. Bryan, however, carried three pre cincts In the county, as follows: Pre cinct 74. 170 to 114; precinct 75. 130 to 124; precinct 107, 17 to 16. Distributed among the three sets of precincts Taffs plurality was distributed as fol lows: West Side, 3333; East Side, 3717; country. 900. J. D. Lee, of this city, was the high man on the Republican ticket for Presidential elector. On the Demo cratic ticket E. S. J. McAllister, also of this city, had the greatest number of votes. It was from the vote of these two rival nominees that the plu- rallty for Taft in the county was com puted. On the other three tickets Gould led for the Prohibitionists. Gil bert for the Socialists and Malley for the Independence party. The high vote for each party in the subdivision of precincts was as follows: West. Basl Side. tilde. 2K53 878 12 Country. Total. 2341 1441 IBS 2T7 a 17.819 9.870 a?,n 1.4.1.1 4S Elector. la. Ren 6.125 McAllister. Deal. 3113 Gould. Iro 102 Gilbert. Soc. ... 64 Malley, lnd. ... 24 The Republican registration In the county was 29.106, but Taft received only 17.819 votes. While the Demo cratic registration was only 7053, Bry an polled 9870. There was a heavy falling off in the vote cast by the Prohibitionists and the Socialists. The supporters of Chafin expected their vote would reach at least 5000, as compared with 8860 four years ago. Disappointment also confronted the Socialists when the final count was made, showing a total . of only 1455. They had predicted a vote in the coun ty of 15.000. In 1904 they cast 7651. The total vote of 46 cast for Hlsgen, the Independence party nominee, was fully as many as was predicted In some quarters, although some expected it to reach 250. Republican and Democratic headouar ters were abandoned yesterday and "For Rent" placards replaced the familiar lith ographs of the nominees of the respective parties. Worn out physically from the ardous exactions of secretary and acting chairman of the Republican state central committee. C. N. McArthur will today go to his farm In Polk County to recuperate for a few days. Yesterday Secretary Mc Arthur received many telegrams con gratulating him on the result in this state. Among the messages received was one from National Chairman Hitchcock and another from Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who addressed the largest Re publican rally that was held in Portland during the campaign. Secretary McArthur also was the re cipient yesterday of congratulations for the exactness with which he predicted the result in this state. He estimated that Taffs plurality would reach 22.975 and the fact that the Republican nominee will have a margin of 25.000 Justifies that prediction. In many of the counties of the state Mr. McArthur missed guessing the actus vote by less than 60. Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican central committee, is proceeding with arrange ments for a monster ratification, to be held, probably at the Armory, next Sat urday night. Chairman Kennedy and C. E. Lockwood, chairman of the committee on arrangements, expect today to be able to announce the various committees that will have charge of the demonstration. A list of the speakers probably will be announced at the same time. PAPER OF CORNSTALKS Forests Will Be Spared If Expecta tions Are Realized. New York Times. That paper can be made of cornstalks is not news, since it has long been known that all woody fiber Is essentially alike and that one form of it is prefer able to another to the papermaker only because Its treatment for his purpose Is more convenient or less expensive. What is news, however, and possibly as great news, in some ways, as has come for many a day. is the confident announcement from Washington, D.C, by the chemists of the Bureau of For estry and the Plant Industry Bureau of the Department of Agriculture that they have discovered a commercially practicable method of turning corn stalks Into the product for which civ ilized man has so many and such im portant uses. Final and decisive test of manufac ture on a large scale la yet to be made, and expectations should not be unduly high, since the possibilities of the laboratory often turn out to be the Impossibilities of business. Several utilizations of cornstalk already exist, including the 'cellulose" with which the space between the inner and outer plates of warshis is packed, with the effect that shot holes. If not too large, at least tend to stop themselves through the tendency of that curious material to expand and become Arm when wet. This and other previous uses for cornstalks took only a minute frac tion of the enormous amount supplied by the greatest of our crops, and the discovery of a new and immeasurably greater utility is of moment, not only to the farmers by ' turning a huge waste into a valuable by-product, but to all those whose interests are in- 0FFICIAL RETURNS OF MULTNOMAH COUNTY'S VOTE FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

The papermaker has ranked high, perhaps higher, among the ruth less enemies of the woods, for no tree of the kinds he liked and he would take almost any in a pinch is too small for him to cut down and grind Into pulp, and his maohlnes are threat ening even themselves with starva tion. For some purposes there are no satisfactory substitutes for wood. The manufacture of paper In several of its most used varieties has till now been among them, but If the promises made be fulfilled, thousands and thousands of acres of young trees upon which a speedy doom .has been pronounced will be spared to grow up. This would mean cheaper lumber, and at least a restraint upon the steadily advancing cost of living. Cures Bone Tuberculosis. trnCAGO, Nov. 5.
