William 8. Crowcll, president of
tho First National bank of this city
alnco Its launching In 1905, Tuesday
evening nt tho regular quarterly scb
don of the directors tundored his res
ignation as president. Ills duties will
fall upon M. L. Alford, castor, who
was elected manascr of tho institu
tion, although F. K. Deuol was elect
ed to the presidency of tho bank. Mr.
Crowell remains as one of tho direct
ors of tho bank for tho present.
Mr. Crowcll's resignation followed
tho election of Mr. Alford as manager
of tho bank. His letter of resigna
tion Is as follows:
"Medford, Oct. 10, 1911. To tho
Directors of the First National Uank
of Medford, Ore. Gentlemen: From
tho organization of this bank In 1905
with a capital of $25,000 to this date
when Its resources aro ?t, 005, 390. 37,
I have been Its president and man
ager. From Its second year It haa
paid dividends to its stockholders. Its
annual profits since that timo to the
present liavo been as follows: For tho
year 1908 they wero 14 per cent; for
tho year 1909 they wero 19 per cent;
for the year 1910 they wero 26 1-4
per cent, and for tho , first nine
months of tho present year they are
21 1-2 per cent; so It appears that
under my management tho First Na
tional bank has been qulto profitable
to Its stockholders.
At this date tho bank Is as sound
nml solvent as twenty dollar gold
pieces. It has an unblemished reputa
tion for fair nnd hpuorablo dealing
with all of Its customers. And It
has a beautiful new homo almost com
pleted. Your determination under
this state of facts to chango tho man
agement, but to lcavo tho presidency
In my hands, seems rather ungra
cious. My record as president and
manager of tho First National bank
Is now finished, it needs no praise,
and no defense. With great gratitude
for Divine help and tho steadfast con
fidence of my many friends, I now
resign tho presidency of tho First
National bnnk to tnko effect Wednes
day, Octobor 12, A. D. 1911. Vory
respectfully. WM. S. CROWEM.."
Mr. Crowell stated Wednesday
morning that ho would remain as a
director of tho bank for some tlmo
ub ho has many personal friends who
do their banking thcro. Ho also re
tains his stock In tho Institution, al
though ho has transferred his per
sonal business to tho Medford Na
tional bank. Ho has secured offices

Tho progresslvo amendments were
held doubtful of passing until the

today a surprise even to their most
earnest avocates. Particularly la
this so in the case of the recall. It
was fought bitterly by tho reaction

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 11.
Whether woman shall havo the ballot
In California as the result of yester
day's voting on 23 amendments to
tho state constitution at noon today
was still an open question with Indi
cations that tho majority for or
against would be small.
Partial returns from most of the
larger cities of tho stale showed ex
cept for Los Angeles, majorities
against. From tho rural districts,
such returns as straggled in wore
fnvorablo to tho adoption ot the
amendment. It is not probablo that
tho result on the Buffrago question
will be definitely known boforo night
and possibly, if tho result is Yery
close, not for some days.
Tho total voto in tho stato on
amendments is estlmatod at approxi
mately 150,000, or about GO per cent
ot tho rcBlstratlon.
Tho total voto for suffrage Is esti
mated at 80,000 for and 8G.000
against. Tho official figures for San
Francisco aro givon as 35,610 against
and 21,907 for. This gavo a majority
of 13,503 against suffrage and from
Indications at this hour, this voto
means tho defeat of woman suffrage.
Returns from San Francisco, with
nearly all precincts heard from, give
a voto of 21,325 for suffrage and
34,598 against. This voto, political
forecasters said, was au indication
that tho amendment was beaten, and
that San Francisco had dono It.
Of tho other 22 amendments to
the constitution voted on tho proba
bility is that all havo carried. The
rocalt (Including Judges), tho Initia
tive and referendum; tho umondmeut
to Incrcaso tho powers of the state
railroad commissions, to mako Us
