Election Quiet in Albany.
Save for the whole clay holiday S
reigning in public otfices, the
special election today was hard-
ly apparent in Albany unless one S
happened to notice a slim string &
of men and women going and 5.
coming about the polls. '
On a whole the election was
ctecidedly quiet and as a result
a small vote is believed to have
been polled. The results will
not be learned until tomorrow.
Xo estimate can be obtained to-
day. It is xepected that by to-
morrow night the lull returns
from all over the county will be
obtained.
Sweet Home and Harrisburg. two
Linn county towns are today voting
on the local option liquor question.
The former is dry and the latter wet.
According to reports. from these two
places the referendum measures have
been overshadowed by the measures
that are at issue locally. Meantime
Albany peacefully voted on the state
wide measures and the belief is that
Linn county will go for the univer
sity and probably prove a strong fac
tor in behalf of the compensation act,
if not the other two measures.
SWEET HOME VOTING ON
LOCAL OPTION QUESTION
Sweet Home, Or., Nov. 3. The lo
cal option liquor question here h
nearly overshadowed the other mea
sures 't'hat are at issue in the special
election. Hut HtHc interest has been
ijriven the referendum measures, com
pared to the attention on the local op
tion question.
Sweet; Home has been dry for sev
eral years and this year the wet cle
ment1 will strive to make the town wet
On the other hand the drvs are equal
ly determined to uphold their side of
the question. So the election contest
between the two factions will not be
lacking in desperate endeavor.
Both forces have been more or less
active for the past three months and
several small meetings have been held,
Prophesies on the outcome of the
election are lacing on 'both sides.
BELIEVED THAT LINN
- COUNTY IS FOR "U"
Though in past years Linn county
has voted heavily against appropria
tion bills lor the Lniversitv of Ore
scor,, it is believed sentiment here
is now in favor of the bills to be voted
upon at the special election today.
In 1910 Linn county cast only 2948
votes in favor of the University of
Oregon maintainance bill and 2948
votes against it. Last year the nega
tive majorities were much greater,
the county voting against one Uuiver
sitv bill 567 :o 4220 and the other 511
to " 4274.
But this year sentiment in this coun
ty, especially in the cities and towns,
appears to be favorable toward the
university. It is possible in some pre
cincts a heavy negative vote may be
cast but it is believed that in the cities
and towns, and especially in Albany
and Lebanon, an affirmative vote will
be cast which will make the county's
total vote in favor of annropriations.
HARRISBURG WOMEN MAY
SHUT OUT THE SALOONS
Harrisburg. Or., Xov. 3. The refer
endum measures to be voted on to
morrow have received little notice in
this vicinity. They have been over
shadowed by the local liquor war.
For the past year Harrisburg has
been "wet," the last vote favoring the
establishment of the open saloon. Two
saloons have been doing business since
January I last.
The ' prohibition forces have been
active all year, and in the past two
months meetings have been held al
most daily. Among these was one
Sunday night conducted by a number
of the leading business men of Al
bany. The outcome -will depend on the
wav the women vote. That the
"wets" fear the result of the enlarged
electorate is shown by the vote last
fall on woman suffrage. The majority
here agains: votes for women was
about the same as that in favor of the
saloon.

Large Delegation of Harrisburg
People Visited Here Today
to Urge Construction.
LINN COUNTY WILLING
IF LANE WILL ASSIST
Over 100 Potato Ciiy Residents.
Including Women, Went
Before Court.
Headed by their band, over HX) Har
risburg people, including men .women
and children, arrived in the city this
morning on a special train, were met
at the depot by a delegation of local
business men, and escorted to tiie
court house where they conferred
with the court relative to the con
struction of a bridge across the Wil
lamette river at that place to take
the place of the ferry now in use.
The Harrisburg people formed in
a line of inarch at the depot and
headed by a band inarched up the
street, in column twos, escorted by
the local business men. The women
and children were in the march like
wise. The procession attracted much at
tention. The line of inarch wended
its way through t'hc main street and
up Broadalbin street. Each Harris
burg resident wore a long ribbon"
badge. On it was the facsimile of a
steel bridge, and bore the words. Har
risburg Booster, "O, Ferry Land" and
a few other catchey lines.
Reaching the court house, the pro
cession entered and went to ilie court
room, where members of the court
were in waiting. All of the visitors
were made comfortable., as this room
was especially set aside by the mem
bers of the court and prepared by the
-lerk to especially accommodate the
meeting.
In order that the business men of
that city may attend the meeting for
the purpose of urging the erection
of the bridge. Mayor Long, declared a
half holiday in the Potato City.
A county ferry across the Willam
ette is maintained at Harrisburg now
and for some time the residents of
that city have been asking for the
erection of a wagon bridge. Resi
dents of that section of the county
assert that the bridge is a necessitv
and will interview the court at this
term in the hope that plans will be
made for the erection of the bridge
in the near iuture.
The Harrisburg people were feeling
unusuallv good this morning. It was
the result of the election on the lo
cal option question, voted upon there
yesterday. The town went wet two
years ago and this year the drys suc
ceeded in calling another election on
the question and won out by 45 votes.
Harrisburg is now dry again.
After the proposition was thorough
lv discussed by speakers in behalf of
the Harrisburg people and members
of the county court, it was decided that
the matter should tic put up to Lane
county. By this it is meant that that
county should co-operate in the con
struction of the bridge. Harriiiburg
people are of the belief that Lane
county will not assist in the under
taking as the river is in Linn county.
Several years ago the river marked the
boundary between the two counties
but the channel has swerved until the
entire river at that point is in this
county.

University Appropriations Car
ry. County Attorney Billand
Workmens Act Win.
(By United Press Association)
Portland. Xov. 5. The returns
from the election held yeste.'dav
show that the measures passed
S) by the last legislature on which tf.
the referendum was invoked,
have all been adopted with the
exception of the measure pro-
viding for the sterilization of ab-
itual criminals and the criminal A
insane, although later returns
may change the result. The two
university appropriation bills
passed by a two to one vote.
The act providing fur a work-
men's compensation was adop-
ted three to one and the measure
providing for county attorutys
for each county did not run as 3
strong but it passed easily. The (?
vote throughout the state was sj
light compared with that cast in &
former wears.

movement started by the state secre
tary of Washington is now on foot
to promote a weekly exchange of the
membership status f all of the assi
ciatious in the Pacific Northwest. Al
bany has been asked to join the move
ment and it is likely that a bulletin
board will soon be maintained to keep
the members posted on what the oth
