NUMBER 87 REPUBLICANS BAN MAKE BIS GARS IPWC1S ffll A Ml n BOTH Senator Chamberlain Only Democrat to Make Good on Oregon v State Ticket Oregon is once more back in tlm lino with the Republican stales having filled 10 out of 17 state anil national offices with candidates of that parly Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain was th. only snccessfl Democratic candidate, and he rolled up n 20,000 majority over R. A. Booth, of Eugene. Dr. Withycomhe's 30,000 lead over Dr. Smith for Governor, gives him the largest vote of any of the candi dates, although his proportional lead is not as great ast hat of Hawley, who defeated Hollister for Congress in the First district by 11,000 votes and received the largest majority of any of the Congressional candidates. In the Second .district N J. Sinnot was 4,800 to the good, while C. N. Mc Arthur only won by 2,000 in the Third district. Even in his own county, Multnomah, Jcffery was not in the running with Brown for the Attorey Generalship, SELLMER DE CLINES JOB THIRD MAN OFFERED VACANCY ON CITY COUNCIL SAYS HE CANNOT GIVE THE TIME FROM HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS. Wanted Duly qualified man to fill tho position of Councilman for the East wad left vacant by the esignation of C. R. Moore. Threo men have e fused this position as being detrimen tal to their business. Tho East ward of Bandon is still rcprcsened in the Council by only two membors, following tho announcement of W. C. Sellmer that ho wil lnot accept the position proffered to him by the Council Wednesday night, Sellmer is the third man to refuse to fill the unexpired term of Carl Moore resigned Councilmnn from tho East side of tho city. J. Ira Sidwell re fused the position and Fred Mehl failed to qualify. In the election Wednesday evening the names of Nels Rasmusscn, E Henry and Wm. Sellmer were voted on, the latter receiving the necessary majority on tho second ballot. For tho past month tho Council has been carrying on the business of tho city with nn avorngo attendance of four and an occasional attendance of five members. It begins to appear that the job of a city dad is not all roses ami sunshine and tho clouds needs a little more silver to make the lining attractive. GREAT GROWTH IN POSTAL SAVINGS SINCE WAR BEGAN Washington, I). C The war in Eu rope is proving u big boon to postal savings in this country. From tho vory day hostilities opened across the seas postnl savings receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds and with drawals fell oil", a result quite con trary to the predictions of many well informed persons, who in their im agination, saw Hues of feverish de positors at post-ollico pay windows uuxhuis to aguiu return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt depos itories whence they cat mi before in trUHleil to Uncle Bam, But tho fore easier fulled to leckon on the uho lule ronlhlenee tit the Aiiieili-iin rill regardless of I lie Hug Unit llrkt lilel Ins eye, III the ability and pur um of I he (loveniiiicj)t to iHiriy mil ll ohliKulioii, not only mining llm tuitions u( (he emih, hut will) (lit liumble! tillrejj uf our wl STATE AN) III and the Rosebtirg man had tilings all his own way in all parts of the state. Rcnn, Rcnson, Harris and MeBride all Republicans, were elected io the tipiome Court witli substantial leads. Cooa county filled cveiy county office with G. O. I'. men, as did almost ev ery county in the slate. In Multno mah county the only position still in doubt is that of Sheriff, where T. M. Hurlburt, Republican, lends. Tom Wor, Democrat, by n small majority. Returns in that county are still far from complete. Locally, T. P. Hanley, Deocrat Port Commissioner, was the only variation from the straight Rcpublienn ticket. Oregon seems only to be falling in line with the other states as the re turns from different parts of the country show the Republicans to have gained 43 seats in the lower house of Congress. Prominent among these is "Uncle Joe" Cannon, of Illinois. ed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, arc now pa trons of our postal savings system; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the need for every nvailable dollar is pressing. . The- growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between tho tin can depository and the facte i-y paymaster On July 1, wlien affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of monoy across the At lantic was safe nn expeditious, there was approximately ?1!5,000,000 of pos tal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enormously. This un precedented gain is tho more strik ing when it is considered that the net gain in tho last three months is lar ger than tho gain for the entire fis cal year 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal savings business since tho war has been going on than was done by them during tho pre vious existence of the service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but haVe been felt in ev ery nook and cranny of the country. New York City alone made a gain in September of moret ban a million while Brooklyn showed a relatively big increase. Chicago reported a larged gain in J ho past three months than for tho previous twelve months. More than 7,000 new accounts were opened during the period, bringing the number of deposition in that city up to over 21,000. The unexpected increase in postal savings business haB not only add ed greatly to tho general adminis trative duties of the system, hut has brought up many now and interest ing problems which have called for the careful personal eonsideral-on of ton nrnde its run and began its regu Posteninster General Burleson and.l'- schedule. Trains will lenve Eu- Governor Dockery, Third Assistant Postmaster General. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the promptness of depository hanks in furnishing additional security to nlcot the abnormal deposits. A number of tho very largest banks in tho coun try, which have heretofore declined to qualify ns depositories for postuj saving') funds, are now among tho eager applicants for them.

Re-elected at COUNCIL PASSES A NEW STOCK IMPOUNDING LAW "No moro I'll roam away from homo," is tho popular song quotation now in favor among tho bovine pop ulation of Bandon. The new stock ordinance, drawn by the City Attorney and adopted by tho Council Wednes day evening, lowers the impounding fee to onct dollar and tho cost of ceding and keeping the animals wlfile in the pound, hut provides that stock is not allowed to graze or bo staked upon any street and that any porsojj having stock impopunded moret iran once shall be subject to a fino in tiro Municipal Court. Another ordinance was passed reg ulating the uso of tho City Dock nt the foot of Baltimore Avenue, which, complaints state, has been sed as a mooring place for the large river boatsu and at times being entirely blocked to small boats. In tho fture it will be illegal to nl low a boat to lie at the dock more than 21 hours and boats loading and un loading shall bo allowed tho right of way at all times. Ingress and egress to and from tho dock shall be open at all times and any boat shall be mov ed upon the request of either the Chief of Police or Mayor.

Nothing but an injunction from the Court will now hinder tho improvement of this street. Instructions to build a temporary sidewalk along tho old County Road from Bandon Avenue to the end of the present sidewalk were given to the City Engineer, who was also instruct-, ed to repair tho - planking between Fhst S.trcct ami the Mooro Lumbar Company's.. turnout .on thg LojUj Johnson road, on Third Street Eflst nnd on Fillmore Avenue. A request of Mr. Sing, a Chinese of Mnrshfiold, that the Council ex press itBoas to tho advisability of him opening" a Chinese restaurant in Bandon, canned much discussion but no action on the port of the Council. Two of the membors wore decidcjlly opposed to tho proposition, but all were agreed that the Council had nothing to say in the matter. Tho City Attorney was instructed to draw up a snlury ordinanco for the city officials. Following tho reading and accep tance of tiie report of the Reeorder for tho month of October, the Coun cil adjourned to meet in special ses sion next Wednesday evening, when tho Mayor's budget bill will corno up for consideration.

Wheeler- returned from Jack sonville, Ore., Sunday morning with the announcement that the suit against ox-sheriff W.

Most of tho members, especially from the northern states, hurried to thoir homes to enter tho campaign.
