Only a small portion of the elec tion returns were taken to the county seat and the rest were locked up In homes. offices and gchoolhousea throughout the county. The bond issue, in later returns from country precincts, showed even a big ger percentage of votes for the measure- than some of the city precincts gave. As an instance. Pony Slough gave 20 for bonds and 2 against. Lake side 37 for and 6 against. PRISON BONDS VOTED DOWN Grant, Tillamook and Doaglas Coun ts Will Issue Local Highway J'aprr Tliroc Measures Out of Woven Are Defeated. Jxt returns from Multnomah and various populous up-state counties serv to inrrw? the majority in favor of th" IH.ono.OUO road bond issue car ried by the people at Monday's special ele.'t ion.

The. state outside Multnomah County has given the bonds a majority of 2260. Majority- for HondN CroivN. Only llarnpy and "Wallowa coun ties are to be heard from, and it Is understood that good roads will-r fry in each of them, but. the population is not luree in any one of the three. The missing precincts in Multnomah County are expected to add to the majority here, so the final majority in the state probably will approximate 21.500. The vote at present stands: Tes, 69,865. No, 49.149. The final result of the other meas ures on the state ballot remains un changed. Three Other Measures Pass. The following measures - apparently Slave passed: Empowering ports to levy bonds to develop water transportation, providing uniform tax classifications and providing for simultaneous city end state elections. The following appear to have been defeated: Increasing legislators' sal aries, prohibiting repeal of parts of constitution by implication and levy ing 1400,000 tax for new penitentiary. Marion County, the home of the peni tentiary, voted against the new prison, 032 to 5936. Clatsop Strong for Bonds. Some of the outsde counties have friven unexpected majorities iri favor of the bonds. Clatsop County seems to take the lead in this particular, al though it was a foregone conclusion that the enterprising people of that community would vote strong for good roads. But the result exceeded even the fondest hopes of the most enthus iastic good roads advocates. With nearly every precinct accounted for the vote in Clatsop was: Tes. 2673. NOi 255. Majority for, 2418. The complete list of counties that have reported majorities for the bonds fol lows: Clatsop. Columbia, Coos, Crook, Deschutes, Douglas, Gilliam, Orant, Hood River. Jackson.

Clackamas. Curry, Jef ferson, Lane, Lincoln. Linn, Marion, Morrow, Polk and Union. Sherman County is the first In the state to complete and report its offi cial returns.

CDouglas County, In addition to glv Ing the state-wide bonds a handsome majority, voted to bond itself for $556,- 000 for county roads to be built in co operation with the state. Tillamook County also voted to bond Itself for better roads. Grant County carried a local bond Issue of $140,000. Precinct Unanimous for Bonds. Celllo precinct, Wasco County, gave si unanimous vote for the bonds, 8 to 0. Cascade Locks precinct, in Hood River County, voted 71 to 4 for the bonds. This precinct is bisected by the Columbia River Highway, and the people know what good roads mean. On the other hand, Carus precinct, Clackamas County, probably will gain the unenviable record of casting a solid vote against the bonds. There were 71 negative votes. This precinct Is the home of C. E. Spence, master of the tetate Grange, who led a feeble opposi tion to the diil. - Most Eastern Oregon counties voted for good roads. The Willamette Valley communities, as a whole, were against the bill. Marion, Benton. Polk, Linn and Lane counties returning decisive negative majorities.

SALEM. Or., June 5. (Special.) The constitutional amendment providing for the election of officers of cities and towns at the same time as state officers are elected, which apparently has passed by a substantial majority, af fects approximately 160 iowns in the state, as nearly as can be computed here. Figures have been obtained as to the time when 134 cities and towns hold their annual municipal elections, and they are conducted as follows: Six hold their annual elections in January, three In February, nine In March. 20 in April, four in May. 6 in June, two in October, 12 in November and 72 in December. Under the terms of the new amend ment where it occurs that terms will expire because of a change from the annual to the biennial election, those officers whose terms expire because of the change will huld over until the sue ceeding general election. The amendment also makes a change so that there will be no more one-year terms for. city officials. In some mu nlclpalities ofricais- terms are for as little as one year, but under the new amendment the minimum will be two years. Under this amendment also it will be possible for cities and towns to avail themselves of the use of the county registration books, in place of keeping TAB1E SHOWING HOW 83 OF S COUN TIES VOTED ON ROAD BONDS. .

It will be necessary for the cities and towns to make the boundaries of their elec tion precincts identical with the boun daries of the county election precincts, and to make use of the names regis tered with the County Clerk of the particular county. The main advantage to he derived from the new amendment, as given by its sponsors, is economy, it being esti mated that at least $50,000 a year will be saved. The amendment was suggested origi nally by Secretary of State Olcott in his report to the last Legislature, and he fathered its passage through the Legislature, to be voted on by the people.
