JOSEPHINE COUNTY REMAINS DRY
BY A VERY SLENDER MAJORITY
Full Returns Are Not Yet In, But an
Unofficial Count Shows Dry by
II to Is Votes.

Josephine county remains dry by
the narrowest of margins. In fact,
the margin is so narrow that many
of the vets refuse to concede that
they have lost. The dry majority is
variously estimated at from II to l6.
Others even claim that it is smaller
than that.
The uncertainty arises out of the
fact that there is variance in the
telephone returns from some of the
outside precincts. The whole mat
ter will be settled definitely tomor-
row when the board Of canvassers
meets.
Last evening was one of nervous
strain for the adherents of both
sides, as the lead favored now one
side and then the other. 1t was not
until the election board Of West
Grants Pas precinct, the last to fin
ish its work at 1880, had completed
the count, that there was any GER
tainty at all.

NEW HARB0R FOUND
NEAR CRESCENT CITY

That there is nothing new under
the sun is eXemplified strikingly by
the the announcement that new
harbor has been found within two
miles of Crescent City F. w.
Wooley is the man who claims to
have found this new harbor which
has been overlooked all these years.
OF course the harbor is not entire
ly in existence at this time, but it can
be easily made into a deep, land
locked harbor, according to the plans
that Mr., Wooley has made at very
small expenditure, comparatively.
The new harbor Is to be formed out
Of two lakes which lie a couple of
miles above Crescent City by means
Of digging a canal to connect them
with the sea. Lake st. George, or
Dead lake,as it Is sometimes called,
| is small body of water about a
mile and half long by a quarter
to a half mile wide, with a mean
depth Of fifty feet. This lake is
about two miles north OF Crescent
City and about a mile from the
ocean. Mr.. Wooley proposes to dig
canal 800 feet wide from this lake
to the ocean and then to throw out
jetties on either side of the mouth
Of the canal
This will involve an expenditure OF
about s65O,OOO, according to Mr.,
Wooley, and will provide about three
miles Of water front and dockage
facilities. which will be ample for
several years.
When the new town which is tc
arise az this new harbor has reached
such proportions that more dockage
facilities are required, another cana
-oN be dug from Lake st. George tc
Lake Earle, which Is about a hall
mile away. Lake Earle is a larger
body Of water, being about five miles
long and a mile and a half wide
This lake is shallow and will have
to be dredged
The total cost OF this project will
be about 100000 when completed
Mr.. Wooley has been spending con
siderable time the last four or five
months on this scheme This weel
he has been in Grants Pass and ha'
laid his proposition before local bust
ness men. He says he has presented
his scheme 10 engineers and the!
have pronounced It feasible, and tha
John F. Stevens, HIPS right hanC
man. has said II was the best schem'
that has been presented TO the Hi
interests for a harbor on the coast

Majority for the drys in Grants Pass

Indications are that the two pro-
hibition amendments have failed
and that the home rule amendment
has carried by a small majority. In
this instance 1t is impossible to make
positive statement until the votes
are canvassed.
Enough returns have been re-
ceived to indicate the election of the
entire republican county ticket with
the exception of county Judge.

denied by either government, that
Creel came with a plan for settling
the dispute in Nicaragua, and that it
was not accepted by the United
states Mexico, however, was fully
informed of the attitude of the
United States and knew that Zelaya
was not in favor with the American
government. The fact that he was
allowed to remain for so long in
Mexico was considered as an indica-
ton that Mexico was inclined to re-
gard the decision of the United States

PORTLAND, Nov. Oswald
West, democrat, has been elected
governor of Oregon. state which
gave Taft $4,000 plurality at the last
presidential election. The remainder
OF the republican ticket has been
swept into office by big majorities.
The last hopes OF the republicans
for Bowerman's success over West
went glimmering early today when
West overcame Bowerman's lead in
Multnomah county. With 14S pre-
cincts complete out OF 1872. and 80
precincts incomplete, the democratic
standard bearer had lead OF 1850.
Vests lead throughout the state
at four o'clock this morning, with
more than half of the total vote
counted, was 1851, and the repub-
lican leaders admitted that the final
count probably would give West
a clear plurality of 5000 at the
least.
There Is no doubt but that the re-
maInder OF the republican ticket was
elected. The winning candidates

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-"The les
son taught by the election is clear"
said Clifford Pinchot today, in COM
menting on the showing made
throughout the country by the in
surgent branch Of the republican
party. Taken as a whole, 1t is an
overwhelming rebuke for the re-
actionaries and an unmistakable sign
of a demand for a kind OF progress
for which the insurgents stand. The
returns | have seen show that not
q single insurgent candidate for
governor, with two exceptions, fail
ed OF election, and that every stand
pat candidate was beaten The con-
gressional elections tell the same
story. The only serious resistance
to the republican was made by
men frankly insurgents Where ad-
ministratlon figured in the cam
paign. as in Ohio and New York, the
democrats won. Where the republi-
cans were not supported by the ad-
'mlnistration, as In California and
Kansas and Wisconsin. the repub-
licans won The people are tired OF
government by big corporations for
their own profit Clearly the people
resent the failure OF the republicans
to stand between them and the dom.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. To-
That Mexico is in the hands of an
incipient revolution whose aim is the
overthrow of the present government
is the statement of the Mexican re-
volutionary leaders here today. Mex
leo City, according to private advices
they have received, is really in a
state of siege. Americans are in
great danger, dispatches say, and
many of them have barricaded their
homes. The revolutionists claim to
have authentic information that two
Americans, a school child and a
young man, were killed in the out
breaks yesterday. The burning at
the stake Of Antonio Rodriguez at
Rock Springs, Tex, was not the real
cause of the Mexico City outbreak,
they assert, but was merely seized
upon as opportunity by the revolu-
tionists to gather their forces with
out too much interference from the
police and federal troops, Attacks
on Americans are likely to continue
as a blind, It is said, until the revol-
utionists are in a position to declare
themselves. The situation in the
Mexican capitol is critical.
The revolutionary leaders here say
that revolutionists in Mexico have
been planning a revolt and that the
plans were already completed and
the leaders only waiting for a fav-
orable opportunity for attempting
an attack on the government They
seized on the present occasion FOR
the patriotic demonstrations to di'
vert the suspicion of the government
leaders and carry out their plans.
