BEDILLION WINS OVER MAJOR KINNEY. Cake Will Have About Eighty Majority in the County. COOS COUNTY VOTE. According to complete returns gathered by Sheriff Gage at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon from all pre cincts except Lake, the total vote in the principal contests was as fol lows: Prohibition. Dry 1702 Wet 1754 Representative. Dedillion 122G Kinney 1001 U. S. Senator. Cake 1192 Chamberlain 1109 Joint Senator. Chase 1241 McLaln 834 Commissioner. Dement I436 Weekly . .1036 Assessor. Medley . . ..'. 1322 Thrift I478 Sheriff. Gage i921 Smith H73 Treasurer. Dulley i483 Lamb 1088 Lake township is reported to have gone dry by 14 majority which would leave the wets only 38 majority in the county. Another report is that Lake went dry by 38 which would reduce the wet majority in the county to 14. The above summary practically substantiates the early estimates on the results of Monday's election ex cept the majority r for wet and for Cake, both decidedly less than 100. Election returns are coming in very slow. In some precincts, the judges did not make a copy of the vote but sealed them with the re turns for the county clerk and the figures given are entirely from mem ory and may vary somewhat from what the final canvass wfll show. Much Hinged on Result. A change by nineteen voters in the South Marshfleld precinct would not only have changed the result In that precinct but it also might have changed the entire county from wet to dry. South Marshfleld only gave thirty-six wet majority. The count in North Bend and South Marshfleld was not completed until late last night. Result Decisive. A number of the business men who were helping the prohibitionists in their flght to carry the county stated today that the issue would not be brought up again in less than two years. Some of tho ministers in sisted that it would be brought up again as soon as tho law permits, or in about six months and not more than a year anyway. The contest was rather expensive for both sides and the heavy vote polled throughout the county in dicates tho extent of their work. Douglas county is claimed to have gono dry .according to figures secur ed by Prohibitionists at Roseburg. Tho University appropriation Is be lieved to have carried the county by n good majority. The vote on tho Reddy Homo Rule, bill was close. RESULTS IN DETAIL. Table Showing Vote in Principal Contests.

The Marshfleld city debt continues to grow apac3, according to the re ports of tho municipal officials for May, which were submitted to the council last evening. The reports were the results of tho new system of accounting which Councilman Sacchl recently introduced.

During the month of May, the indebtedness was increased $1,135, the city's current expenses for the month being over $3,000,000 against $1,900 income. In order to insure the city em ployes getting their salaries in cash instead of having to have their war rants discounted ten per cent or so, the council has established a cur rent expenses fund to pay them. Only salary warrants and similar claims will be paid out of this fund. As a starter, $1,500 was placed in the fund and to this will be added the fines, licenses, etc., which are col lected by the city from time to time. New License Ordinance. The new license ordinance was adopted last evening and it is ex pected that this will add materially to the regular city revenues. Haw kers, peanut venders, etc., will have to nay licenses running from $10 a month to $100 per annum. Skating rinks will have to pay $G0 per year. Shooting galleries will have to pay $15 per month and special fees will be required of all peddlers, etc. It was proposed to license pool and billiard halls but it was finally de cided not to charge any license to them as tho council has decided to regulate them by fixing the hours they aro closo at night and on holi days.

CAUSES REJOICING IN THIS SECTION. Peter Logge of North Bend Also Receives Other Data On It. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has just Issued .150,000 new folders advertising their lines In the Pacific Northwest and tho map of their roads includes tho Coos Bay Drain railway. It also contains as much advertising of the Coos Bay country as it does of Portland and San Francisco. Only a few of the folders have been received on Coos Bay, tho issue not being quite ready for genera! circulation. Tho ones here were presented to Peter Logge of North Bend, by General Passenger Agent McMurray of the Harrlman lines in this section. This is the nearest to official con firmation to the report that the Drain-Coos Bay line would be built so soon that has been obtained. Un less tho Southern Pacific expected to have the lino into Coos Bay in operation within a very short time, It is pointed out that they never would have put out a folder prospectus showing It. Tho folders aro for cir culation throughout the East and by the European agencies of tho Harrl man lines. In addition to the map showing tho lino, the folder contains a brief description of Coos Bay together with a description of San Francisco and tho Columbia river harbors. Tho folder refers to tho San Francisco harbor as being for largo sea going vessels, the Columbia river for river steamers, and Coos Bay for largo sea going vessels. Mr. Loggo has also received a new map of the proposed routo of tho Southern Pacific entering tho Coos Bay country. This shows a different route than the map received hero a couple of years ago. Tho map two years ago showed tho road coming down the east side of the Bay while tho last one shows it crossing the Bay to Pony slough and thenco com ing down tho mlddlo of the Isthmus to connect with tho Marshfield Myrtlo Point lino. Tho railroad company now owns a four-hundred-acro strip between Marshfleld and Empire and tho proposed routo is across it. In a conference with General Man aged O'Brien and General Passenger Agent McMurray of tho Harrlman lines at Portland recently, Mr. Loggo asked them when work on tho Drain Coos Bay line would bo resumed. They wero non-committal. Mr. Log go is a personal friend of both gen tlemen and some of tho data used In the folder describing Coos Bay was furnished by him although at tho time he was not awaro that It was going to be used as It Is, JEFF DAVIS IS ED Southern States Today Cele brate 100th Anniversary of His Birth.
