FlUGEXH. Or, April 6. Speclal.)-In
the most stubbornly-contested municipal
election of years. Joseph D. Matlock de
feated 1. H. Bingham for Mavor of
gene by 281 votes, the largest ma
jority ever given a Mayor in the history
f Kugene.- All of the municipal league
andltlates on the Matlock ticket were
elected, and the amendment creating a
water board carried tiy a vote ' of 972
for, to 392 against, making a clean sweep
of the municipal ownership ticket with
the single exception of Treasurer, for
which Frank PeUner was re-elected over
Jerse u. Wells by a majority of 16.
There were about 1700 votes polled, the
highest number ever cast at a city elec
tion. The contest, hard-fought as it
was from the opening of the polls at
8 o'clock this morning until the close at
? P. M , was the most orderly of any city
election held in years. The corrupt prac
tice act was religiously observed by both
tickets, and tnera was not a banner in
eight or a carriage In use throughout
the day. There were probably SO votes
challenged during the day In the whole
city, and no disputes or jangling any
where. The victory of the Municipal
league ticket means completion of the
city power plant jin the McKenzie River

Letters addressed to President Sha
fer of the school elicited no reply and
the school was the subject of discus
sion at a meeting of the executive
committee this afternoon. It was de
cided that unless the school furnishes
the statement required on or before
Thursday of this week, tie date of
the monthly meeting of the committee,
the Institution shall be closed as "a"
state Institution.
President Shafer has written the
secretary of the board that the money
was to be used to pay teachers' sal
aries, but the secretary took the po
sition that he could not use It for that
purpose, even If a statement were fur
nished, without a duly verified and
signed payroll.
Late Saturday the Ashland people
withdrew the money on deposit with
the State Treasurer and unless this
money Is again deposited with the
statement required by the board, the
school will be closed by order of the
executive committee before the end of
the week.
Board Refuses to Contract Debt,
The committee does not wish to be
put In the position of contracting any
Indebtedness contrary to law. and
hence refuses to accept contributions
from any of the schools unless ac
companied by the declaration that
would free the state from shouldering
the debt. The committee takes the por
sltlon that if any of the contributors
feel that they have a just claim
against the state for the money contrib
uted, the use of It by the board would
be the Incurring 1 of an Indebtedness
against the state which the board has
positively refused to do. All donations
received by the board since the date
of Its organization, July 18, 1907, have
been accompanied by a written state
ment to the effect that they were giv
en voluntarily, with the express un
derstanding that no claim would be
made against the state for reimburse
ment. The Normal Schools at Mon
mouth and Weston are now being
operated on moneys so donated.

ARMY MEN SCOFF
Officers Say Fort Stevens Is
Not Damaged.
CHANGE IN BENCH MARK
One Has Dropped a Toot Within Re
cent Years Cracks in Concrete
at Fort Said to Be Only
Surface Cracks.
ASTORIA. Or., April 5. (Special.)
Officers at Fort Stevens do not regard
as serious the reports of the sinking of
ground at the fort and along the penin
sula sent out from that point recently.
According to their statements, no con
siderable damage has been done.
It is nevertheless true that certain
low lands whereon nils had been made
within the past few years near the fort
have sunk a foot or more. No dam
age to the emplacements has resulted,
according to officers at the fort.
Major Bartlett, the commanding offi
cer at Fort Stevens, when asked about
the report that Battery Russell, Which
Is located at the south boundary of the
reservation, near the old Point Adams
lighthouse, had been damaged, or that
the ground around it was sinking, re
plied: "I have not observed either that the
land is sinking or that the battery has
been (lamawd. Nothing of the kind
has been reported to me; neither have I
heard it discussed."
At the engineers' office it was stated
that the cracks noted in the concrete
work of the Battery Russell emplace
ment were of a minor character, such
as are always looked for In heavy con
crete work, and for the repair of which
the Government makes a yearly appro
priation. There Is a well-defined report afloat
at the post that the ground about this
battery, has changed, based, no doubt,
on an alleged discrepancy in the bench
marks near the battery. The main
bench mark at the post is located In
the vicinity of the observation tower.
It appears that some years ago, before
roads were built through the reserva
tion, another bench mark was located
near the south line of the reservation,
about 150 feet beyond where the bat
tery now stands. This was later cov
ered with drifting sand and a third one
was set independent of the second one,
about 600 feet farther north. Recently
levels were run, and while the last
bench mark was found to correspond
with the main one, the other was nearly
a foo': lower.
This Information could not be ob
tained officially, but it is reliable, and
may have been the basis for the report
that the grc und Is settling.
The dikes at Warrenton have not
been, except In Instances where they
are many years old, built higher, but
breaks In them have been repaired, and
the same is true of the railway track,
portions of which were washed out by
the high tides, which overflowed that
section some weeks ago. and have been1
filled.
