SALEM, Or., Dec. 13. (Special to The Bulletin.) Des chutes county is now in official existence. Secretary of State Olcott this morning canvassed the vote as certified to him by County Clerk Brown and at once reported to the Governor the result. Governor Withycombe's proclamation declaring the new county formed was issued today. Following the issuance of the proclamation, the Gover nor announced that he would appoint Harvey DoAimond, of Bend, as district attorney of the new county. The appointment of the members of the county court will be announced Jater in the week. The announcement of the formation of Deschutes coun ty came as a dramatic conclusion to the fight that has been waged against it since the election in November. Yester day Judge Duffy, following the default of the defendants , in not making answer after the overruling of their demur rer, issued a final decree correcting the returns from Fife precinct, whichjhad been erroneously certified by the elec tion board. Immediately after the entry of Judge Duffy's decree and ejss,ii4J?.ceof.the ! ceificatsm.(iouAtXf lc(H ' office, the Bend attorneys who had charge of the case, re turned, leaving on the night train for Salem with the cer tificate. . Deschutes county comes into being following two un usually strenuous political campaigns and a mix-up in the certification of the vote of one precinct, creating a legal question without precedent. First proposed two years ago, the formation of Des chutes county from a portion of Crook, was defeated by a bare margin of two and a half per cent less than the 05 per cent necessary to carry. Again this summer division was proposed and, as an . alternate, the removal of the county seat from Prineville 'to Bend. A county seat bill was initiated but abandoned when it became apparent that the required vote to divide the county could be obtained. Except, in the precincts where division was strongly favored, little campaigning was done proceeding the No vember election. In those, however, by personal work arid broadcast distribution ot circulars, an overwhelming ly favorable sentiment was created and the election car ried by a safe margin. The county judge and the two county commissioners for the new county will be appointed by the Governor later this week, and the county court, so appointed under the law, will forthwith appoint the other officers.

By Carl Ackerman. BERLfN, Dec. 13. (United Press.) The American embassy here believes that Germany has not flatly asked the neutrals to start peace negotiations, but that merely a request has been made to America,' Spain, and Switzerland, to inform the entente nations that the Central Powers are willing to discuss peace. The diplomatic corps con siders the move a master stroke. Secretary Grew, of the American embassy, personally tyjHid a translation of the note. Chancellor Von Beth-man-Hollweg'asked him to send it to London, Petrograd, PParis, and Roumania. The Spanish ambassador was asked to communicate with Belgium and Portugal, and the Swiss ambassador to communicate with Italy. LAST TRIBUTE A FITTING ONE IHG DELEGATION BACK FROM FUNERAL.
