Vofers over the entire state
seemed very indifferent as to the
final result on the measures up for
thefir endorsement last M onday.
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.
Making repeals of constitution
void unless specifically stated:
Yes 210; no 467. -
Uniform tax classification: Yes
302; no 396.
Requiring primary and general
election of city, town and state to
be held all at same time; Yes 522;
no 236
New penitentiary building: Yes
229; no 562.
Road bond bill: Yes 470; no
386.

day conference meeting of the
older ’teen age girls of the five

Just go down the line and make comparisons. Where
is there a car at or near the price that is in the same class?
Think of the quality, the reputation of the REO; consider
the bigness, the larger tires, the genuine leather upholstery,
the low upkeep, accessability/oversizod bearings, economy.
—and it’s one cinch it can, clean up any other car at or
near the price. .

These multiple features have created a tremendous de

be, can’t be, enough R E O S to go around. Only those who order
now and take delivery as soon as the local dealer can supply them,
will be numbered among the ’’lucky ones” who will drive REOS'this
season. To those who have other cars, if you’ve decided to quit ex
perimenting and buy a R E O see to it that your Reo dealer is'advised
in the form of an actual order, or you sure will be disappointed.

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.
