COOS COUNTY RESULTS.
Incompleto returns from Coos
County indicate the following re
sults: Cake will carry county over Cham
berlain by about 200.
The Reddy Homo Rule bill appears
to have carried the county by a slight
majority.
The following have probably been
elected:
State senator W. C. Chase,
(Rep.).
Representative R. E
L. Bedll-
Hon (Dem.).
Joint Representative Colonel I.
N. Muncy (Rep.).
County Clerk James Watson (Rep.)
Sheriff W. W. Gage (Dem.).
Treasurer J. B. Dulley (Rep.).
Assessor T. J. Thrift (Dem.).
Superintendent W. H. Bunch
(Rep.).
Surveyor A. N. Gould (Rep.).
Commissioner W. T. Dement
'(Rep.).
Coroner T. J. Lewis (Rep.).
The above summary shows the
probable results of yesterday's elec
tion. In many precincts, the count
will not be completed before mid
night tonight. South Marshflold,
North Bend, Bandon and Myrtle
Point judges had over a hundred
ballots in each precinct to count at
4 o'clock this afternoon.
The largest vote was polled on
prohibition. Myrtle Point is going
dry by about three to 1. As 358
votes were cast there, this will cut in
hard on the majority that North
Bend and Bandon are giving against
prohibition.
R. E. L. Bedilllon stated over the
telephone this afternoon that he was
practically certain that he had de
feated Major L. D. Kinney for rep
resentative. He claimed to have car
ried every precinct in the valley by
good majorities which more than
offset the lead that the vote In this
section of the county gave Kinney.
The count in North Bend at 4
o'clock this afternoon showed the
following results In the contests:
H. M. Cake 1G0
Geo. E. Chamberlain 15G
R. E. Bedilllon 142
L. D. Kinney 181
W. C. Chase 183
R. D. Hume 82.

South MnrbhflcUl.
A peculiar complication arose to
day when the day judges and clerks
superseded the night force in the
South Marshfield precinct. The
night force took their books and
count with them and no one was
able to find out just how the vote
stood aside from that the precinct
had given a wet majority of about
34. All day today, the vote has been
running about even between wet and
dry, it standing 68 to 67 against
prohibition on the day count up to
4 o'clock. Gage will be given a ma
jarlty in the precinct, Chamberlain
and Cake are running even, Doyle
and Muncy are running about even,
Chase has a slight majority over Mc
Laln and Lewis is getting about four
to Temple's one.
Crowds Around Booths.
All day, the South Marshfield
booths have been surrounded by
scores of people, most of them being
Interested in whether or not the pre
cinct is going wet or dry. It is gen
erally believed that the fate of pro
hibition hinges on the result there.
No Tally Sheets.
The count in the South Marshfield
precinct was delayed this morning
owing to the election clerks running
out of tally sheets. For a time, it
looked as though they would have to
wait a half day In order to secure
additional tally sheets from Sheriff
Gage by J. M. Upton came to the
rescue and dug up some; The count
was resumed but owing to the large

matter under investigation might be
compromised.

tion is made Is signed by E. W. Reln

Mrs. Lilley after the doctor had
called upon Boutell to explain to
the congressman that Lllley's health
necessitated his leaving the country.

VOTE SHOWS
GREAT GROWTH
Population of Marshfield and
North Bend Has Had Rapid
Increase.
Coos Bay boosters who are more
Interested In the growth and devel
opment of this section than in poli
tics today are pointing out the ex
traordinary growth of this section
as shown by tho lncrcaso in the vote
at the annual election yesterday. The
vote was greater than the registra
tion on Coos Bay proper.
The total vote in North Marshfield
precinct was 291 against a registra
tion of 292, in South Marshfield pre
cinct 588 against a registration of
569, and in North Bend 584 against
511 registration. Thus the total
vote In Marshfield was 879 and a
total of 1,463 in the two principal
towns on Coos Bay.
The boosters claim that the ratio
of the votes to the population here
is very conservatively six to one. This
would give Marshfield a population
of 5,374 and North Bend a popula
tion of 3,404 or a total population
of 8,778.
A number here who have been en
deavoring for a year or more to
secure an Elk's Lodge for Marshfield
will immediately present these fig
ures to the Roseburg lodge In order
to show that Marhsfleld has passed
the 5,000 mark and Is now entitled
to a, lodge of Its own. Itds Believed,
that the petition will be granted now
and the lodge established here "within
a few months.

TIRED WAITING
FOR GOVERNMENT.
Propose to Tax People Who
Will be Benefitted to Raise
Fund.
FLORENCE, Ore., Juno 2. The
citizens of tho Sluslaw Valley are
tired of waiting for the government
to improve the bar at the mouth of
the river so vessels can pass out or
in without delay and a plan is being
discussed to raise funds for the
undertaking In another way. It is
proposed to bond that part of Lane
county lying west of tho coast range
of mountains for say twenty or per
haps forty years, and use tho money
thus raised in building jetties at the
mouth of tho river. It is thought
by the promoters that $100,000 can
easily be raised in this way and with
this sum considerable of a start can
be made toward constructing the
Jetty. It is hoped by the time this
sum Is expended that the national
government will be ready to tako
up the work and push It to comple
tion. To meet the Interest on the
bonds each year it Is proposed to
collect a toll of perhaps 25 cents per
thonsand feet on the lumber and a
proportionate sum on other articles
experted from this place. Later on
a sinking fund can be raised in tho
Wame way to pay off the bonds when
they become due. In this way tho
exported from this place. Later on
be borne by the industries that are
directly benefitted by tho work.
Some of the leading business men
of the Sluslaw are agitating tho
question and most of tho others
have declared themselves In favor
of tho measure. Tho legal aspects
have not been entirely investigated,
but it Is thought a bill can be passed
by tho legislature permitting tho
question to bo left to a vote of tho
people of the district.
