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

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.

injunction from the Court will now
hinder tho improvement of this street.
Instructions to build a temporary
sidewalk along tho old County Road

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

the announcement that the suit
