over AlonZo Hedges, his Republican opponent The only township that has not been heard is Maumelle which two years ago cast 17 votes for MT. Reid and for 4. s. Fowler, the Re- publican nominee. No election was held Tuesday in Ellis township. The first report received from Eastman township. to the effect that Reid re- ceiyed 75 and Hedges p, was in error The correct vote in that township was II for Reid and 43 for Hedges.
 Complete returns from the county will probobly show that Mr Reid has majority in the county of about S20 votes. Two years ago his majority over the Republican nominee was 621,
 The returns show that just about three eighths of the vote polled in 1904 in the county was cast in Tuesday election. The total vote for congress- man in the county in 1904 was o,64o while Tuesday not quite 200 votes were polled This was falling off of more than 1.600 of the Democratic vote and nearly 1900 Of the Republi- can vote.

MUST STRIVE FOR
TOURIST TRAVEL

James Horsburgh Jr., general pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific.
returned yesterday from the East.
Hersburgh, while on the Atlantic sea-
board. paid considerable attention to
tourist business, and In speaking of
this said:
I'VE In California have to be up and
doing. We have to provide attrac-
tions for the tourist trade. Neither
the West Indies nor Florida is our rival
now. 1t is the Mediterranean which
is taking away the people who should
come here. Between s300.000.O0o and
$500. 600, 900 Is spent annually by Amer
leans in Europe. The transatlantic
lines are putting on magnificent ships.
and are doing everything they can TO
get this traffic. Their spirit has been
caught by the people in Europe, and in
Sicily and elsewhere business men are
building hotels and attractions just to
attract Americans.
There is great interest expressed
in California. The weather sharps
prophecy a hard winter. and people will
have to move away. We should try to
get as many as we can. and our peo-
pie should use their tbest endeavors to
build places to accommodate the trav-
elers that will visit San Francisco.
1T was greatly pleased with the
class of colonists that l saw In Chi
cago depots and elsewhere who were
coming West. They will make good
citizens. Labor Is scarce In the East
as scarce as IL is here The greatest
difficulty the railroad companies have
to encounter is getting equipment.
The Pullman Company will open it's
shops in Philadelphia shortly, and that,
1t is hoped, will relieve the strain to
a certain extent. Every car-building
company is taxed to the limit.
Our people may run another train
in addition TO the two new ones going
to New Orleans. This train will be
run via FL Paso and the Rock Island
to Chicago. New cars are now being
built by the Pullman people for our
Shasta route. and it is the intention
when this new equipment is put on to
run the observation cars TO Portland,
instead of taking them on at Rose
burg, as at present"

IMPORTANT MOVE
BY WINE men.
Large California Concerns
Give Notice of Plan of
Campaign in the East
SEND OUT CIRCULARS

Eastern brick vineyard" winemak-
ers have taken advantage of abnormal
conditions to encroach upon the Cali
fornia wine trade in the East. Rely
ing upon the ignorance of a large part
of the public regarding wines they
have put fluids before consumers at
very low prices and succeeded in Sc
curing certain territory. temporarily.
at least, for their own.
California wine men, learning from
correspondents what is happening, have
determined to meet conditions as they
exist and to put ordinary red wines
and ordinary port wines in the mar
ket after January l next at rates that
will command trade and at the same
time give the consumer a better arti-
Gle than he now buys.
Circulars giving notice of this move
have been issued both by the Califor-
MIA Wine Association and by the Ital-
ian Swiss Colony at Asti-
abnormal conditions" the circular
Of the California Wine Association sets
forth. followed in the California wine
trade after the great confagration In
many million gallons of wine threw
large wine handlers back upon their
reserve stocks of matured wines ie-
naming in the country.
The desire to husband these re-
sources for future trade and the high
prices demanded by wine makers. to-
gether with uncertainty regarding the
approaching vintage, caused a heavy
advance In the price of ready wines.
The situation after the first of Janu-
ary should permit of the establishment
OF more normal conditions, although
a scarcity of high-class, thoroughly
matured wines will continue.
From the fact that the trade, in
some cases, on account of price, las
turned to sources of so-called wine
supply, which by reason of doubtful
origin and quality have hitherto been
neglected, 1t is deemed advisable to
offer wines from California. which,
while guaranteed the pure product of
the grape and of a quality which. after
thorough ageing will equal the stand
ard wines, have yet to receive the f1n-
ish that prolonged storage alone can
give them"
The circular of the Italian Swiss
Colony is similar in tenor rhe red
wines offered will be sold at about
80 per cent less than the standard
wines to fill the demand for the cheap
er article.

Secretary and Treasurer w. c. Dom
nelly of the Chipps Island Shooting
Club and his guests had an experience
last Saturday night which they will
long remember. Donnelly promised his
friends they would be at the clubhouse
at $3.50 p. m. and instead of dinner at
7 1t was o'clock in the morning before
they got anything to eat. Donnelly
ordered the club launch to meet them
at Diamond. and when they were well
in the tules the engine broke down. The
tules are high. so it was impossible to
be seen. Donnelly suggested that Bode
Smith, who is an all-round athlete,
swim back to Diamond. but Smith re-
fused to desert his friends. The launch
finally drifted to the river and after
much signaling the disabled boat was
taken in tow. 1T was owing to the
lateness of the supper and the want OF
proper rest that we did not make a
good showing" said Donnelly yester~
day. "Bode was in bad form and killed
only four sprig. Carson, my son, who
is the coxswain of the Alameda Boating
Club, shot twenty-seven sprig. bagged
thirteen and Berman twelve. Fred
Gomph brought home thirteen"
