STATE PROHIBITION SUFFERS
DEFEAT BY 100 VOTES
FAVORS ASHLAND NORMAL
List of Constables and Justices ms
Published In Mondays
Daily.

At five-thirty Saturday evening
the canvasslng board finished It's lab
ors and settled the uncertainty that
has prevailed as to the vote on the
wet and dry question. County pro-
hibition wins by eleven votes.
State prohibition suffered defeat
by over hundred votes, while the
search law. as 1t was called by its
opponents, was defeated by even n
larger majority.
Josephine county gave a big ma
jority for the Ashland normal schools.
The other normals received major
rites, but they were small. The
Rogue river fish bill was declslvely
defeated.
But the way the voters went after
the county division schemes showed
that such measures will stand very
little show In the future.
The so-called U'ren measures all
secured small majoritles, except one
providing for an official gazette and
peoples inspectors of government.
The talk of contesting the election
and asking that North Grants Pass
precinct be thrown out has fizzled.
However, the vets still threaten to
file a contest and have the returns
from Wilderville thrown out. This
precinct returned dry majority OF
22 votes Throwing It ont would
change the result In the county to n
majority of eleven for the vets.
Following Is list of the newly
elected justices OF the peace and con-
stables for the various precincts OF

each instance being the justice and

from the Second, is also mentioned
for the honor, his friends asserting
that that 1t Is imperative that some
member with experience in city
work be at the helm for the ensuing
year because of the probability OF
much more municipal work this
coming season.
Councilman j. G. Riggs, of the
First ward has also been urged by
his friends to come out for the posi-
tion, but so far he has refused to
permit the use of his name.
George c. Sabin Is talked Of for
the position, but whether or not
he would accept the place Is not

MAY BE GUIDED BY RESULT
OF BALTIMORE MEETING
Employees Of Eastern Railroads Await
Result Before Acting on Wage
Demand

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE wage
situation on the railroads east of Chit
cage Is rapidly approaching a critioa!
stage On the conferences now IN
progress in Baltimore between the of
\ tcials OF the Baltimore a. Ohio rail
way and the officials OF the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen and the
Order OF Railroad Conductors may
hinge the question Of general strike,
according TO the railroad men In this
city. Although all Of the big railroads
lcentering In this city have unequlvc'
cally rejected the demands made 10:
more wages and have invited another
offer OF a compromise character, none
/ has been offered by the unions. They
state that they are awaiting the out
come OF the negotiations in Baltimore
and the return 10 this city OF the grand
chiefs OF the two brotherhoods.
! That the railroad officials realize
that there is much al stake in the Bal
timore conferences is shown by the
refusal OF the officials to make any
statements for publication suggesting
the probable outcome.
| When the railroads declined the rad
| ical wage change suggested by the
men, IL Is declared here, the brother
! hood chiefs went 10 Baltimore TO take
the question up with the Baltimore a
Ohio. 1t Is asserted by the railroad
officials here that the Baltimore
Ohio was selected as the road to work
ON because it's men are the poorest
paid in the east, its schedules the most
trying. and its officials OF a character
that 1t would at least give the union
demands consideration.
II the union could get recognition
! and a fair wage increase from the
| Baltimore a. OHIO, II is believed by
the union leaders then the other roads
would fall into line and the great bat
tie OF securing recognition would be
won.
