tabulated returns from Lincoln coun-
ty show, Taber received 1l9 votes;
w. r. Thomas, his leading opponent,
SO. and Otto Williams, 9.
In Elko county, the official count
gives Taber, 276; Thomas, Sc; Will
liams, 123. In Clark county, the un-
official returns give Taber. 1923; ThoI
as, IA and Williams, 5. Totalling
5ls for Taber; 1863 for Thomas and
III for Williams. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that Taber has a plural
i,y of 1856 over Thomas, and received
S more votes than Thomas and Will
liams combined.
LESSON TO BE GAINED
There is lesson to be gained from
the returns in this county, and the
might be applied to those from all
po. tons Of the state, by comparing
the vote cast by the republican and
democratic parties, respectively
While 1t is true that the strength
o. neither party was not voted at
the primary election, the fact re-
mains that the republicans are in
the majority, which presages repub-
lican victory on November Sth. A
good illustration of this is the vote
for United States senator. Nixon,
the republican nominee, received 1888
votes in Lincoln county; while the
combined vote of Key Pittman, c. H.
Mcintosh and James G. Sweeney
footed up to IA. In the district Judge
ship race. the republican candidates
received 1871 votes; while Charles Lee
Horsey, the democratic nominee, poll
ed 1873. or majority in favor of the
republicans of 62. Other comparisons
of the vote might be made; all Of
which goes to point toward a repub-
lican triumph six weeks hence.

GREAT DIFFERENCE IN
HARBOR DREDGING BIDS
United States Engineers Receive
Proposals to Do Work
at San Diego

The bids submitted to the United
States engineer in charge here yes
terday for dredging the channel of San
Diego harbor to a depth of thirty feet
show a wide variance. The American
Dredging company offers to do the
work for SO cents per cubic yard, the
highest bid, while the Standard Amer
lean Dredging company offers to do
the required dredging for 1889 cents
per cubic yard. The latter company
also offered to cut this figure to 1859
cents, provided notifications are al
lowed.
The notifications asked for are that
the Standard company be allowed TO
work all the time on the outer mar
Dor in fair weather and on the inner
harbor or middle ground in stormy
weather 1t is supposed that this AL
the time" phrase is also request TO
be allowed to work Sundays, pro-
cedure which is denied the contractor
in the original specifications.
The figures quoted by the Standard
company are unusually low, as the last
niece of work of a similar nature done
in San Diego harbor cost 28.74 cents
per cubic yard. If their figures are ac-
cepted by the war department there
will be a sum left from the approprl-
alton made by congress for the work
and this will probably be used on some
other harbor improvement.
1t is believed that this low bid lndl-
Gates that low prices will be quoted IN
the bids which will be opened by the
district engineer tomorrow for dreug-
ing Los Angeles harbor.

Municipal Affairs
TO CONDEMN LAND NEAR
AGRICULTURAL PARK
City viii Order Vacation of 210-
Foot Strip for Pub
lies Use

Property owners in the proposed as
sessment district for the condemna-
tion of a strip of land 210 feet wide on
the south side of Agricultural park
are invited to appear before the city
council next Tuesday If they are op-
posed to the condemnation of this strip
If they are in favor of it they are not
so strongly urged to be present, for
in all probability the council will or
der the condemnation unless there is a
large protest.
The public welfare committee, which
considered the matter of this condem-
nation yesterday, is composed of three
members of the council and each mem
her of the committee has different
idea of these condemnation proceed
ings. Councilman O'Brien wants the
council to take steps for the condemna'
ton without attaching any strings TO
IT at ALL Councilman Andrews wants
the petitioners who ask the condem-
nation to secure petition bearing the
signatures of 25 per cent or the prop
ertv owners in the assessment district,
and Councilman Stewart, chairman Of
the committee, frankly stated he was
opposed to the condemnation under any
circumstances. He told the petitioners
who appeared yesterday that already
that section Of the city was saddled
with three assessments for the con-
demnatiOn or lanu IOr RBllC III o. =
mark and that he did not consider IL
tight to impose a greater tax on them
even If they were willing to pay it.
The strip of land in question IS
owned by the Los Angeles railway
which proposes to build car barns pa ms ON in
arms The railway officials have said
that the barns they propose to erect
will be handsome concrete structures,
but that has not allayed the feeilng
against them? If this strip of lana Is
included in the park it will square SC feoott OUT
the park property and give 1t 'front.'
e1e On four streets instead of three
as the present plans call for.
The petitioners declared yesterday
that they would have no difficulty
in securing the 25 per cent that Mr..
Andrews wants, for large part OF the ne
nroperty in the district is owned by
biy real estate firms which are selling
It off on the 1nstallment plan and VINO
would sign the petition. The Los An
eeles Investment company alone owns
600 lots and according to its represen-
tatiye will gladly sign the petition

WOMAN SCORES POINT
AGAINST OIL DIRECTORS
Injunction Stands Preventing Sale
of Delinquent Stock by
Syndicate

Dissolution of an injunction grant
ed Rosebelle H. Graves preventing the
directors of the Los Angeles Coalinga
Oil syndicate from selling delinquent
stock as they had planned to do. was
denied yesterday by Judge Monroe of
the superior court.
The plaintiff, as stockholder, brought
the action against B. f. Bach, Joseph
S. Rittingstein. Warren Gillelen, H. ID.
Vanderveer, w. c. Elderton, w. Q.
Pedder and George Renwick, directors.
She alleged they held irregular meet
ings away from the principal place of
business of the company; that Pedder
and Elderton were given $500 for OBJ
tanning a lease of oil lands, and that
Gillelen possesses stock valued at $1,000
for which he never paid. She declared
that if all of these funds were placed
in the treasury of the company there
would have been no need of levying
an assessment on the stock and con-
sequently no necessity of selling the
shares deliquert as to the levy.
1t was only last week that she was
granted the injunction preventing the
sale of delinquent stock, September IL,
as the directors had planned.

WANT DERAlLING DEVICE
AT RAILROAD CROSSING
Street Car Passengers Fear Ter
ribIe Collision May Happen

People who have to cross the Santa
F'e tracks at Avenue Twenty on the
Pacific Electric street cars appeared
before the public welfare committee
yesterday and urged that body to force
the railway to put in interlocking de-
rail devices and gates at this crossing.
They stated that no serious accident
had ever occurred at this crossing, but
there was great danger of one and
they preferred to have the safety de-
vices installed before some of them
were killed and the necessity for them
demonstrated.
But the committee will not make a
favorable report to the council on this
petition, for the Santa F'e is installing
an automatic flagman at this crossing,
as it was recently ordered to do by
the council. The board of public util-
tiles made an investigation of this
place and decided that an automatic
flagman would serve the purpose.
