Those Who Must Register, ana w hen
and Where.
The boards of registration of the city
will convene tomorrow for two days
session and Will also be in session on
the saturday prior to election. The va
rious precinct boards will have their
sittings in the usual voting places, as
follows:
First Woodbury. hose house
Second ward-George Humlong's of
flee.
Third ward-City building.
Fourth ward-Alert hose house.
There is always more or less sonfu-
sion regarding registration. This year
a complete registration does not have
to be made. Only those who have
moved from the precinct in which they
last voted, and those VINO failed to
vote at the last general election, must
register this year. Every year there
are people who come to the polls with
the full intention of casting their bai-
lot only to find that their vote can
not be received because they are not
properly registered. This is especially
true of those who failed to vote at the
preceding general election. II a person
failed to vote at the preceding genera
election, his name is not carried on
the registration books, and he must &C
before the board on one of the three
registration days and place it on the
big book. Those who have moved from
one ward to another or those who have
moved to the city within the past veal
must register or their votes will not bs
accepted. This is important Every
voter should ascertain to certainty
that his name is properly on the books

HOW CHRISTMAS PASSED
A Season Of Good Cheer and Enjoy
ment in Salem.
Mild Weather and Universal Observa.
tion Of the Pleasantest Holiday Of
the day

To say that Christmas passed off
pleasantly in Salem this year doss not
begin TO express il. Perhaps the fact
that 1.-TWO Sundays came together" has
had something TO do with IL but it has
really seemed "more like Christmas"
this year than usual.
The weather clerk has treated us
white this time and the man who would
kick ut the weather furnished for
Christmas would kick II he were going
TO be hung.
Saturday evening the sidewalks were
almost impossible from the throngs of
people who we're taking advantage of
the mild and balmy evening, and the
stores were crowded until late hour
with belated shoppers who we're filling
out their list Of presents.
Innumerable private trees were set
up and loaded with presents and the
camera fiends we're in their glory.
The special services at the churches
on Sunday were we'll attended and the
elaborate musical programs we're splen-
didly rendered and fully appreciated.
The business streets Of the town
presented very quiet and Sabbath like
appearance, both Sunday and Monday.
In fact the sight Of q wagon load Of
lumber passing along Commercial street
Monday afternoon gave distinct shock,
as though 1t were some sort Of sacrilege.
But from TO 2 p. M, the hour dur
ing which the postofiice was open, both
Sunday and Monday, that psternalistic
institution was the scene OF considera-
ble life. II seemed that every one
expected Christmas present by mail
and was there TO getit. The carriers door
was besieged by a good-natured, but
determined crowd, and the girl who
didn't like 10 be squeezed had no busi-
ness there. The pressure was 30 heavy
that II became impracticable for people
to get back after they were waited on,
70 the accommodating carriers, as soon
as they filed mans arms with bun
dies, would take him by the collar and
shoot him through their department
and odt the Of the back door into the
alley.
The wind.up with Christmas trees and
programs at the different churches.
gave the appropriate finishing touches
to Christmas, which, in spite OF some
drawbacks, has been more than usually
enjoyable.
