THE LARGEST VOTE EVER POLLED The High Water and Interrupted Telegraphic Communication In terfere With Returns. Returns from the election throughout the state are coming In with almost un precedented slowness. Of the triumph of the Republican state ticket there Is no doubt; scarcely less of a clear work ing majority in the legislature. The only surprises are those of Republican gains and of the fading of Democratic votes from the Weaver column of 1892. That there will be a largely increased total vote is evident from the uniform testi mony In that direction from the pre cincts reporting, and It would not be surprising to see the 76,000 votes of 1892 Increased to 80,000. THE LEGISLATURE. The lower house of the legislature is assured to the Republicans by a majori ty sufficient to dominate , the Joint as sembly and guarantee the election of a Republican senator. Republican gains are reported In counties where senatrs are to be elected, and already the elec tion of Republican senators seems as sured from Multnomah, Benton and Lincoln, Linn, Marlon, Marion and Clackamas Jointly, Yamhill. This will make 15 Republicans in the senate, needing only one more from the doubt ful counties of Baker and Malheur, Clackamas, Clatsop, Grant, Harney and Morrow, Jackson, Lane and Umatilla to make the requisite 16 for a majority of the senate and the presiding officer of the Joint assembly. BAKER COUNTY. A Heavy Vote and a Possible Equal Distribution of Offices. U Baker City, June 4. A heavy vote was polled In the county. The offices are probably evenly distributed between the three parties. Reld is ahead of his ticket The Populist legislative ticket Is probably elected. Raley Is running ahead of his ticket. BENTON COUNTY. The Republicans and Democrats both claim the representatives from Benton. The Joint -representative and Joint sen ator from Benton and Lincoln are prob ably Republican. CLACKAMAS COUNTY. The Counting Has Been Too Slow to Warrant Any Estimates. Oregon City, June 4. More Interest was taken in the election today than In any that has been held for years. The cloudy weather, with occasional rain In the afternoon, did not prevent a heavy vote in all parts of the county. In this city the total vote was 793, an Increase of two hundred over that of two years ago. If the Increase Is anywhere near proportionate - throughout the county there will not be much short of 4,500 votes In the county. Counting is pro gressing very slowly, and It will be well along toward noon tomorrow be fore the result Is known In the city. Reports from seven precincts, with but a small proportion of the vote counted, Indicate that the Republicans have gen erally voted straight, and that they have carried the county. .- DOUGLAS COUNTY. Republican State, Congressional 'and Legislative Tickets Victorious. Roseburg, June 4. A largely Increas ed vote was polled throughout Douglas county today. The returns Indicate It to be at least 20 per cent over the vote of 1892. The Republican managers claim the entire legislative ticket and a large plurality for the state ticket. The Dem ocratic managers will not even guess at the result. The Increased vote Is a great surprise f them. Managers of the Re publican campaign say a large percent age of the new voter in the county are Republicans. The Republican plurality on the state ticket will probably ex ceed 300. JOSEPHINE COUNTY. Republican State Ticket, With the Pos sible Exception of Irwin. Grant's Paw, June 4. After a quiet election we find the returns coming in slowly, and at 11:30 but two outlying precincts have been heard from'. From the best informed persons it is teamed that Josephine county will poll a good Republican majority for 'the entire state ticket, with the possible exception of Irwin. The district will be Republican, with a large majority for Attorney Ben son. LINN COUNTY. Albany, June 4. Scattering' returns In- dicate that the Populists will elect one representative, the Republicans two senators and at least one representor tive. On the state ticket, the Repub licans, show a marked gain, and may carry the county. The Populist vote Is larger than expected. MARION COUNTY. Republican With Possibly One or Two Exceptions. Salem, June 4. Much interest was taken In the election In this city today, and in all precincts a largely increased voe was polled. Meagre returns up to llVclock Indicate that the Republican ticket will be elected, with one or two exceptions, and possibly the loss of one representative. RETURNS COME IN SLOWLY. Salem, June 6. Up to 3 a. m., only one preclnot has a completed count. The returns as received are too meagre for estimates. Even in Salem It can not be learned how the election has gone, for the count goes on without In terruption. Not over a third of the ballot has been counted yet. The re publicans give safe majorities as usual to all the state ticket, with the possi ble exception of Irwin. The fight In the county was on sheriff and clerk, but It Is conceded to be a republican vic tory, but by small majorities. The re publican victory, but by small majori ties. The Republicans elect two sena tors and four representatives, possibly losing the fifth one to the Democrat Populist fusion. , POLK COUNTY. Republicans Confident of a Majority All Around. Independence, June 4. Partial returns from Dallas and Salt Creek and the vote so fas as it has been counted in this city, shows IDS plurality for the Republican ticket. Two years ago Salt Creek went Democratic by one vote. This year it Is Republican almost 2 to 1.' Returns from South Independence are complete. The congressional and legislative vote was: For congress Hermann 99, Weather ford 26. For legislature Keyt, Rep, 108; Smith, Rep.. 114; Stoats, Dem., 41; Wested, Dem., 27. The total vote cast in Independence was 435, an increase over 1893 of 69 votes. THE SAME STORY FROM DALLAS. Dallas, June 4. Much Interest was manifested here In the election, all par ties putting In their best licks. Reports as to result3 are very meager. Partial returns have been received from seven precincts out of the 20 in the county. These cover only 114 votes and show that the Republicans lead by heavy ma jorities on both the Btate and county tickets. Polk county has undoubtedly given the largest Republican majority in her history. UNION COUNTY. State Ticket Republican, but Legislative Ticket Is Split Up. La Grande," June 4. The election here passed off quietly, with a full vote polled. Returns are coming In very slowly. Out of a total vote of 869 cast in the three La Grande precincts, 262 have been counted. They show the fol lowing results: For governor Lord 114, Galloway 56, Kennedy 9. For secretary of state Kincald 120, Wakefield 83, Nlckell 58, McKercher 4. For attorney general Idleman 123, Olmstead 86, Holmes 63, Bright 10. For superintendent of public instruc tion Irwin ' 127, Reld 78, Jory 56, 'liar ford 5. For supreme Judge Bennett 67, Boise 68, Harkleman 7, Wolverton 113. For state treasurer Caldwell 71, Dav idson 63, Metschan 115, Richardson 5, For Btata printer Leeds 114, McKlb- ben 6, O'Brien 61, Orton 72. For congress Ellis 113, Miller 4, Ra ley 72, Waldrop 74. For representative Bollea, Dem., 24; Henson, Dem., 81; Boyles, Pop., 61; Hoffman, Pop., 105; Reeves, Rep., 116; Wright, Rep., 99. The legislative ticket Is badly Bpllf up, but for all state officers and the Wding county offices everything looks like a sweeping Republican victory. WASHINGTON COUNTY. Everything Point to the Success of the Republican Ticket. Hillsboro, June 4. Nothing has been heard from Washington county outside of Hlllsboro, but the vote here shows plainly that the result will be a Repub lican victory as regards the state, con gressional and. legislative tickets. The contest in the county Is upon county judge, and it now looks as If B. F. Cor nelius, Rep., were elected over W. D. Har. Pop,, by a small majority. In Hlllfboro 538 votes were cast in the two precinct YAMHILL COUNTY. McMinnville. Jan 4. The vote In Yamhill county wHl show a fnvat In cTrtuw over two years ago. In the four precinct in this city 833 votes were polled. - Probability of Enormous Dam age to the Inland City. A FURTHER RISE MONDAY NIGHT Since Sunday the Increase Amounts to Twenty-Seven Inches-Houses Floating Down the River. The hopes of Portlanders that the waters had reached their full height have been rudely dispelled during the past 24 hours, and the announcement Is made that a further rise has occurred, and that the end Is not yet. Several evidences of the enormous damaga have been witnessed by steamboatmen near this city, and yesterday two buildings were reported to have been seen floating slowly down stream toward the ocean. One of the structures appeared to have been used as a mess house, at least such was the opinion of some of those who saw It from the desk of the Telephone. The opinion was expressed that the building was probably one which had been used In connection with a salmon packing establishment at some point be tween this city and Portland. Another structure which was passed In the river was a handsome dwelling, and evidently belonged to parties who were, well-to-do, as the furniture was of a late design and valuable. Among the effects was a piano, a key from which was carried away for a memento by one of the hands on the steamer. tfa effort was made to save any of the furniture, and the building was allowed to proceed slowly on its way to the ocean. If It escapes the array of fish traps between Chinook Point and Fort Can by. A report reached town yesterday that the Umatilla house, at The Dalles, had floated off, but the rumor lacks con firmation. It Is not Improbable that there Is some foundation for the report, for the reason that several days ago the condition of the buildtngi was regarded as unsafe. Saturday last the opinion was freely expressed at The Dalles that with a further rise In the river It would Inevitably he accompanied by the dis appearance of The Dalles' principal ho tel. Mr. H. S. Glle,' of Portland, who was among the passengers on the Telephone yesterday afternoon, states that last night there was .a further rise of 4 1-2 Inches. Mr. Glle, fays that on Saturday last he made S$ih4'n the 'dock at Salmon street and on Sunday, when he visited the place, he four.d there had been a rise of 16 Indies. From Sunday ta Monday the increase was but one-half this amount, or seven Inches. On Mon day the rise was not bo rapid, and the distance between the surface of the water and the mark on the building had been decreased by 1 3-4 Inches only, be tween the hours of 10 a, m. and 4:45 p. m. Monday night, as above stated, the increase amounted to 4 1-2 Inches. Mr. Glle gives the information that parties residing along the river were securing anchors and other appliances to assisb them In securing their dwell ings. It Is not thought that many of the submerged dwellings are Inhibited, mott of them being likely at any moment to be torn from their foundations and carried away. . The Eureka cannery at Eagle Cliff has not yet started on its trip oceanward, but at last accounts was ready to em bark. The floors are lifted up by the water, and the building is badly strained. The Alnsworth dock In Portland is In a dangerous condition, and unless the waters quickly subside will, It Is claim ed, become a total loss. Several stories have -been told which lend to the belief that the flood of 1876 was not by any means the greatest In the history of this part of the coun try. Capt. Love, of Portland, claims that driftwood has been found In a tree at Sanvle's Island, fully six or seven feet above the high water mark of 1876, and this statement la corrobor ated by the statements of Indians' who formerly lived In that vicinity. Borne of the Indians go so far as to say that at one time the water reached the site now occupied by the court house in Portland, but this Is probably an exaggeration, al Highest of all In Leavening Power. LatesfU. S. Gov't Report though it might be regarded as an Indi cation that the story told by Capt. Love Is "oirect. One of the old-tlmera at The Dalles asserts positively that the water at one time reached the site of the Methodist church there, fully six feet above the high water mark of 1876. W. Hampton Smith gives some Inter esting facts concerning former floods. Ho says that the water marks along the river show that these floods have dated back hundreds of years, and that evi dences of this fact are numerous in the Willamette valley. In 1861, says Mr. -Smith, fii drifb log was found on the prairie near Eugene City, after the big flood of that time had subsided. At first the log was thought to have been a tree which had fallen Where It lay, but upon Investigation it was Been thut no trees had ever grown at the place, and that the log had no roots, and that It had been in the water for some time. It wa3 a long dlBtance from any Umber, and attracted the attention of parties passing along an adjoining road. "Portlanl Is liable to be visited by floods at any time of the year between December 1 and June 1," Mr. Smith as serts. "The great Hood of 1861 occurred at 'Eugene City on December 1, and tho one following was on the 8th of the same month In the same year. In the event of a heavy fall of snow and quick thaws great floods are unavoid able." Considerable freight was brought down to this city yesterday on the steamers, for the purpose of being stored here until such times as the warehouse portion of the big Inland city is free of water. When that time will come Is as yet, of course, a matter of speculation. - DESTROYED THE SAUCE. Deputy United States Marshal J. D. Gore completed yesterday evening tho destruction of 8,000 bottles of bogus Worcestershire Sauce, which has been stored at 114 Pine street, awaiting the final decree of Judge Thayer, 6t"the United States court. The wholesale de struction Is the result of suit brought against the Western Distilling Com pany, by Lea, & Perkins, Worcester and New York, to enjoin them from manu facturing an Imitation of the original Worcestershire Sauce. On April 12th Judge Thayer handed down his decision, and ordered that all the spurious Bauce manufactured by the Western Distilling Company, be destroyed; Marshal Goro with four assistants began the execu tion of the order on last Wednesday, and only completed the work late yes terday evening. Lea1 & Periins have also obtained tem porary injunctions against Davis, Ro enberger & Levy and Charles H. Dor sey, of Galveston, Texas, and Carson & Foley, of Houston,- Texas. In the de cision of the court It was held that) the defendants had used the firm name, sig nature and wrapper of the plaintiff, and that every vestige of the wrappers, bottles, etc., should be destroyed. Mr. D. E. Bennett, a representative of Lea & Perrlns, is In the city, and has given the matter his personal supervi sion. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, April 21, 1894. NEWS FROM ALASKA. Tho steamer Chilkat arrived In port from Alaska yesterday and will leave on her return trip today at 2 p. m. She brought down a good deal of Interesting, northern news. - Cannerymen and packers In AlaBka are preparing for an Immense business this season.. None of the United States ships are reported as having arrived In Alaskan waters. The lighthouse tender Columbine was passed by the Chilkat on. her way down. Several parties of American and Canadian surveyors have arrived ab Chilkat and began to survey the international boundary line. Pyra mid harbor will bo the starting point. All of the Chilkat and Chlllkoot Indi ans have gone Into the interior on their annual trading tour. Herring are so plentiful at Chilkat that thousands are donned upon the beoch by the tide and left there to die. F. M. Canton, of Ne braska City, Nebraska, has been ap pointed collector of customs at Cudahy, on the Yukon river. He will leave the Sound for that place this month on a steamer chartered by the North Ameri can Transportation & Trading Com lany for transporting their goods from Seattle to the mouth of the Yukon.
