No. 282.
COOS COUNTY "WEI" BY
ABOUT THIRTY-EIGHT VOTES
Vote on Local Option Proves
Closer Than First Ex
pected. 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.

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 OF OREGON ELECTIONS
Chamberlain's Majority About
1,000 Over 200 Saloons
Put Out of Business by Pro
hibition Victories in Many
Counties.
(Special to lho Times.)
PORTLAND, June 3. Returns
from Monday's election are still far
from complete, but there is no rea
son to change the estimate that
Chamberlain, Democrat, will clearly
have a majority of 1,000 or more
over Judge Henry M. Cake, Repub
lican, for United States Senator.
It is practically certain that tho
legislature will have 52 Statement
No. 1 members, six more than neces
sary to confirm the people's choice
for senator.
Congressmen Hawley and Ellis
were returned to Washington by
large majolrties.
Equal suffrage was snowed under.
Prohibition carried many counties
and it is estimated that approximate
ly 200 saloons were put of business
by the result of the election.
President Almost Crushed Un
derneath Bucking Animal
While Taking Ride Near
Washington.
(B Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 3. Presi
dent Roosevelt late yesterday aften

Marshfield's Municipal Indeb
tedness Was $44,036.89
June 1st.
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. The
total city indebtedness, May 31, was
$44,036.89, including about $5,000
unpaid interest on the outstanding
city warrants. 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. Children's Passion Play Matinee

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,
