CORD0VA VOTES WET NEARLY
 5 TO 1

The census of the residents of Cor dova on the liquor question, as re- quired in the order issued by Judge Brown, before any renewals or new applications for saloon licenses would be acted upon, was today filed in the district court. As was expected the town voted overwhelmingly In favor of the sale of liquor, the figures be- ing as follows: 319 wet; 113 dry; 52 no opinion and 10 refused to vote, making a total of 49O persons who gave expression to their views.
 Under the law the enumeration in- cluded the names of all residents within two miles of where the license was desired. It was the duty of the United States commissioner to ap- point two census takers and he named Duard Mosser and J. F. A. Appleby, who made a thorough and impartial canvass. Their report was sent to the district court on last nights boat, and the result shows that the people here are in favor of the renewal of the liquor licenses when the present ones expire on June 30. According to the ruling of Judge Brown no fur ther expression on the subject is neces- sary for another year.
