Only two irere made in the South Marshfield precinct, one by tho wet watchers and the other by the dry watchers. The wet watchers made their protest stick while the other'protest did not. In the south precinct, everything passed off very smoothly. The dry watchers and wet watchers worked together and when dry and wet votes liad to be sworn in, the wet watchers orked together and when dry and "wet votes had to be sworn in, the vret watchers and dry watchers would accept identification from each other. Dr. J. T. McCormac would take Clay Moore's word that a probable wet Yoter was all right and Clay Moore would likewise go with Dr. McCor mac on probably dry voters. Trouble in North Precinct. There were several clashes in the North Marshfield precinct during the day owing to S. R. Beloate, a deputy sheriff for the precinct, taking on himself some of the duty of the clerks or judges of election. Ho re cused to allow voters to use sample ballots that they had marked before entering tho booth to mark their "white ballots from. The voters claim that this In violation of the law and there has been talk of prosecuting Beloate. Thirty Days Leeway. The Oregon law provides that when wet precincts vote dry at tho local option election, the liquor deal ers shall close their places on or he tore thirty days from tho election.

Petitions are being circulated in South Marshfield today asking that all of that section of the city, south of Mills slough, bo made one sewer district and sewered at ouee, the sewer emptying into the bay direct. The petitions request that in order to accomplish this, the work on the systems proposed for part of South Marshfield and Haines streets at pre sent be stopped and also that the city engineer in preparing plans and specifications for the larger system consult with a committee of property owners. This plan of effecting the change from the city council's scheme for a sewage system in South Marshfield was devised at a meeting of the prop erty owners of that section at the city hall last evening. Everyone present was unanimous in favor of securing a sewage system that will cover all of South Marshfield be tween Mills slough and the city limits. In order to get the matter properly before the city council to night, it was decided to circulate the petitions today and secure as many signers as possible. It was stated last evening 'that under no circumstances would be property owners permit the empty ing of sewage systems into Mills slough and also that they would continue to oppose the installation of a small system that would only cover part of that section. The property owners are also anxi ous to have large main piles put in to make certain that the system will be adequate for the ensuing fifteen or twenty years. Late this afternoon, it was stated by the parties circulating the peti tions for the new sewer district that everyone they were able to find were signing It. All of the large property owners In the proposed dis trict with the exception of the South ern Pacific have signed the petition and as there is no one here with au thority to represent the Southern Pa cific and there may be some delay in getting their consent. Owing to many of the smaller property owners being at work today where they could not bo reached, it was stated late this afternoon that the petition might be held over a few days to give them an opportunity to sign it. This would necessitate a deviation from the original plan to present the petition tonight. Amendments. University Reddy Bill Yes No Yes No H. Gale First, Edna Wieder Second and Alice McCor mac Third. H. Gale of North Bend, first prize. Miss Edna "Welder, second prize. Miss Alice McCormac, third prize. Such Is the result of the prize awards in the contest for the first, second and third prizes for the best essay on "Coos Bay as a summer resort." The judges were L. H. McCarthy and H. R. Saltmarsh. So close was the contest that It was with difficulty that the judges could pass on four others which were each voted worthy of honorable mention. The awards were made by numbers, the judges not knowing the authors of the productions they were judg ing. Neither the judges nor the parties who offered the prizes know the winner from North Bend. H. Gale Is Mrs. Helen Gale, the wife of Dr. Gale of North Bend. She was very much surprised when no tified today that she had won first honors in the contest, in fact sur prised to learn that she had won any prize at all. She said that on the evening she noticed the an nouncement of the contest in The Times, that she decided to enter the contest but soon after she started to write something she was inter rupted, leaving her only about ten minutes to hurriedly dash off the ideas she had. The first prize of $10 was offered by Seymour H. Bell, the second prize of $5 by Secretary Walter Lyons, and the third prize a hat by George Goodrum. The awards of the first prizes will be all right but Mr. Goodrum will have to call on his millinery friends in order to convert a stiff hat or a "Silk tile" into a Merry Widow or something similar as the young lady who secured his prize has no need of masculine head gear. It Is proposed to now offer a prize for "One Hundred Facts About Coos Bay." Nobody will be barred from this contest, and the award will be based on the most telling facts, prop erly arranged and presented. TOUT ORFORD NEWS. Government Engineer Ex presses Hopes For Work on Coos Bay. Colonel S. W. Roessler, the engin eer in charge of the government river and harbor improvement work in the Northwest, is highly gratified over the acceptance of his plans for the Improvement of the Coos Bay bar and harbor by the board of engineers at Washington. While Colonel Roess ler will shortly be transferred from this territory, he will go with a firm belief In the future of Coos Bay and I with a determination to help It when ever he can. This Is the tenor of a letter which Secretary Walter Lyon of the Marshfield Chamber of Com merce has received. The letter is self explanatory and Is as follows: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 23d instant, and copy of communication from the Chief of Engineers acknowledging re ceipt of your resolutions relative to my being ordered out of this district. Since the receipt of this letter, the orders have been issued to take ef fect soon after the first of July. "Thru you I wish to express my appreciation of the support that I have uniformly received from the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce in the matter of developing plans for the future Improvement of Coos Bay and Coos Bay entrance. If the dis- nfitohps from Washington aro cor- ! rect, It would seem that the Advisory Board of Engineers at Washington and the Chief of Engineers have all concurred in my recommendation for the construction of a dredge to be used in deepening the bar, and for the work of improving the interior harbor as far up as Marshfield. The news was very gratifying to me, and I am sure it must have been to the people of Coos Bay."
