F. Jones, for Congressman, carried the county over W. C. Hawley, by 67 votes. In every precinct in the county, and irom an indications, all over the state, the vote was very light Owing probably to the fine weather and the rush of farm work in the rural districts. 'The women vote 'in this county was heavier than the men's vote. Now that the smoke is cleared away, Ift us all get together and elect a full State and County Re publican ticket this coining Novem ber.

Bandon will Arrive Tomorrow The sawmill stopped running yes terday and all hands began putting; lumber on the docks in readiness for the big ship Bandon which is to arrive tomorrow morning for her first cargo of lumber for the San Francisco markets. Tomorrow will bo a red letter day for Toledo and all Yaquina Buy. Fifteen years ago a line of big ships made regular schedule between this bay and San Francisco, carrying freight and passengers both ways, but since these vessels were taken off en attempt has been mado to make the shipping world believe the bar was shoal and would not admit largo vessels. We will soon know, as the Bandon, drawing fourteen feet of water, expects to cross in over the bar tonight or in the morning, and will try tho new channel up the river to Toledo. Three years ago the people of this locality concluded that if we were ever to have a channel up the river we would have to get to work and make it. A pott district, embrace ing the watershed of the upper erfl of Yaquina bay, was formed.' bonds floated for $50,000, a pott commission appointed, a clamahill dredger built and has since betn digging out tho bars and shallow places in the river. In tha meir time the port commission has al ways been busy in interesting the government in our project, until last Fall the big government dredge Oregon was sent here. This dredgo has been working sev eral months and bas just completed dredging a channel from the upper end of the port district to the lower end. This channel ia 200 fact wide and eleven feet deep at mean low tide, which will permit any vessel able to cross in over the bar to come direct to Toledo. The Bandon which is to arrive tomorrow, ia one of several vessels owned by tha Eetabrook company of San Francisco, who is interested in taking the lumber from the To ledo sawmill to the markets of San Francisco and San Diego Should this vessel be successful in her trip the company will probably put on other vessels. 1 he sawmill and logging camps will furnish the steamship company with all the lumber it can handle. Tho mill will enlarge and run steadily to do thia if necessary. In the meantime keep your eye on Yaquina Bay and Toledo.
