The highest vote polled in the county for any one candidate or measure was 1810, for Warren Brown 'for county clerk. Tlie total vote cast for the presiden tial candidates was 3152, while the registration was but 2053, showing an unusually lively interest in the contest. Last Wednesday Van Alien was conceded the county assessorship, leading Foster by 45 votes, with about 75 per cent of the votes count ed. However, final returns from the remaining eastern precincts finally gave Foster the victory by 41 votes. Forbes of Bond polled a very high vote, as did his running partner, W. O. Smith of Klamath Falls. Single tax was defeated in the county by an overwhelming vote. By a margin of Iocs than 1500, Harry Lane, Democrat, won the race for the senatorial toga over his near-J est "rival, Ben Selling, Republican. Bourne, on the independent ticket, was a poor third. Oregon went to Wilson by over 12,000 plurality. Nick Sinnott of The Dalles, Republi can, goes to Congress from this dis trict, defeating Graham handify Lafferty and Hawley won in the other districts.
