CITY VOTES FAVORABLE Astoria, Warrenton and Seaside Glxe x Good Majorities, as Do All , Places Along Proposed Highway Route. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) The people of Clatsop County declared In no uncertain tones for good roads, and especially in favor of building their portion of the Columbia Highway, when at today"s election by a vote that early returns Indicate -will be almost two to one, they authorized the issuing of $400,000 in 20-year bonds for road Improvement purposes. While the vote in this city was light, being only 1020, or' less than half of the registered electors, the majority In favor of the bonds was 202. Seaside voted almost solidly for the bonds, giving a majority of 240. The country precincts are divided, those along the lines of the three pro posed main highways favoring the bonds, while the other sections of the county were against them. Complete returns from 17 of the 32 precincts in the county give the von on the bond issue 090 for . and 642 against, a majority of 448. The bill authorizing the bond issue provides that $200,000 shall be expend ed on a road running along the Colum bia River between here and Westport, at the eastern boundary limits, thus forming a connecting link in the scenic route known as the Columbia Highway which is planned by the several -counties from Eastern Oregon Wiethe ocean beaches. Three hundred thousand dollars Is to be spent in completing the Toad from this city via the Nehalem Valley to the southeastern section of the county and the remaining $100,000 goes to construct a road from Astoria to Seaside and thence to tha Tillamook County line. . All these improvements are to be made in accordance with the recom mendations of the State Highway Com mission. Surveys for the first named of these roads, which is to be approxi mately 30 miles in length, are now in progress and the intention is to have .I1 the plans completed and estimates made so that the actual construction work can begin early next Spring. Clatsop County intends to set a good example for her neighbors by being the first one to have her portion of the Columbia scenic highway completed. CROOK ROAD BONDS LOSE Eleventh-Hour Dissension Cause; 'State Issues Carry. BEND, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) Very Incomplete returns from Bend and a few town precincts throughout Crook County make it reasonably certain that the initiative measure for the issuance of $200,000 worth of road construction bonds under the new county bonding law is defeated by an overwhelming majority. Thrfs result was entirely ex pected, for a few weeks ago the Crook County Good Roads Association and good roads workers who petitioned for the bond Issue and were in the field working for it gave up the fight after what they termed unfair treat ment of the association and the project by County Judge G. Springer. The reversal of feeling on the bond Issue resulted from local differences. It is said, chiefly hinging: on the action of the Judge in changing the route of tie road from that originally petitioned tur by the association and Is the culmina tion of growing difficulties between the Judge and some residents of the county. A light vote was cast at Bend. About ISO balloted, of which 31 were women. The total vote is considerably less than half of that polled at the last municipal election. There is every In dication that all the measures referred were sustained by a landslide majority In the county, . pendence.

The Stmts University building repair fund measure appropriates $76,000 for needed repairs to university buildings at Eugene. Of this sum $30,000 Is for an addition and repairs to the library, $15,000 Is to bs spent on repairing tha enclneerlng building, $10,000 on the men's dormitory, $10,000 on Deady Hall and $10,000 on the heating plant. The State University new building: measure appropriates $100,000 for a modern fireproof administration and classroom building. " including furnishing and equipment. Both the university appropriations become available imme diately. The sterilization measure wo.uld have authorized the State Board of Health to order such surgical operations to be performed on habitual criminals, moral degenerates and sexual perverts, both male and female, when confined In any state institution. The County Attorney measure substitutes County Attorneys, one for each county, for the present District Attorneys, several of whom have several coun ties under their Jurisdiction. It cuts oft the political patronage these Dis trict Attorneys have formerly enjoyed In appointing deputies for the various counties. The workmen'scompensatlon act creates a .State Industrial Commission, composed of three members, to provide a fund for the compensation of in jured workmen employed in - hazardous occupations. The fund is raised part ly by employers, partly by the state and partly by employes. The commis sion Is to determine the amount to be paid any person on account of injury received In course of employment. All these measures, if adopted, take effect at once. The constitutional amendment provides that "any measure referred to the people shall take ef fect and become the law when it la approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon, and not before." f?

STATE CHAMPIONS VARSITY (Continued From First Page.) niderec" Indicative of the sentiment ', throughout the Btate. In many counties, notably Baker County, the women came out in force to vote against the sterilization meas ure. It Is said that the women's vote defeated this bill.

At Woodburn they voted .on a pro- posal to buy a lot upon which to build a new City Hall and defeated It. Figures From Over the State. Elate election table by returns up to 2 A.

Listen to Reason! Since we have cut the prices on Clothing and Woolen Goods, our sales have more than doubled. Low expenses by reason of our location, selling direct from manufac turer to consumer and being satisfied with a small mar gin of profit, puts us in a position to sell goods at one fourth less than up-town high-rent stores, and we are doing it now. Cut prices on every article tells the story. It may be only a few cents on small things, but it is dollars less on large sales. It will pay any man to walk a few blocks out of the way to Third and Stark Streets to benefit by our cut prices.
