Two measures out of the seven were all that seemed at all popu lar with the voters. The road bond measure w ill un doubtedly receive a favorable en dorsement of about 21,000, while the proposition to allow m unici pal corporations to raise funds by sale of bonds approved in^each instance by the voters most inter ested w ill run second best. A number of the measures were de cisively beaten and the result shows that the voters quite well under stand the measures upon which they must make a decision. Sherman county approved the bonding act for roads by a major ity of 84 votes. The official vote on all measures in Sherman coun ty was as follows: F Authorizing ports to create lim ited, indebtedness to encourage water transportation, yes 4$r, no 310. i ’ Increasing pay of legislators and limitingnumber of bills introduced: Yes 126; no 642.

Registration for the war census passed in Sherman county with no disturbance of any kind being reported from the different war marshals appointed by Sheriff Mc Kean. Two instances, one at M oro, and the other at Kent, broke the even tenor of the day. A motorist traveling through the state and claiming Seattle as his home, had neglected to register until war census day; not having authority to act in such an emer gency he was refused registration until advices from state headquar ters permitted the precinct board to proceed the same as would have been done by the county clerk before war census morning. The other was that of a transient laborer who claimed he had no home and wanted to register at Kent; he was also at first refused andwas advised to report at M oro to Sheriff McKean,who registered him at one of the M oro precincts. T otal' registration for Sherman county was 446. W. C. B r y a n t . C. J. B r ig h t , Practises in United States and State Courts also in the State of W ashington.
