While the Douglas county Good Roads boosters had practically- agreed to advocate the building ot a hard surface road to the Coos county line on the Middle fork the benefit of the Coquille valley- They claim that, merely as a route to a seaport at Coos Bay, the Ump qua route is but very few miles, if aDy, longer, and that it will answer every purpose equally as well, while opening up a large part of Douglas county. Further, the people of that part of Douglas county state emphatically that thev will vote down any other proposition and that if the Middle fork route plan be carried through over their pro test they will renew the movement for county division. These repre sentations have been put with such strength that Douglas couDtv has abandoned all intention of going ahead with the Middle fork project.

We have elected Mayors of five cities in New York, six cities in New Jersey aud scattering cities in Ohio and other states. In Massachusetts the Pro gressive candidate for Governor polled many thousand more votes than in the election last year, de feating the Republican candidate and running strong second. In New Jersey the Progressive candi date for Governor polled a large vote and prevented a Republican from being elected. "W e have elected enough mem bers of the Governor’s Council in Massachusetts to hold the balance ot power. Eighteen Progressives have been elected to the Massachu setts Assembly, as compared with five last year, and we also hold the balance of power in that body. In the Indianapolis Mayorality contest we ran strong second, Democrats first.
