GUIDE TO ELECTIONS.
Explanation of Complicated Primary
System by Secretary Dunbar.

System by Secretary Dunbar.
Salem-The adoption of the direc
primary law has given Oregon such (
complicated system of elections that no
even the accomplished politician cal
carry in his mind all the details of th'
proceedings leading up to the genera
election of state, district and county
officers. One of the most difficult
things to ascertain and remember is tn.
dates upon which the various steps il
the nomination and election of officers
must be taken. In TACT, the ordinary
citizen cannot figure out the dates i
he has the statute before him, for thu
language varies and different methods
of computing time must be adopted.
The following list contains all the
dates of interest to the voter and the
candidate for offices as figured out by
Secretary of State Dunbar:

clerks Tuesday, January 2.

BLAZE ON CROWDED FERRY.
Thousand Passengers Nearly jung
Into Hudson in Terror.

New York, Dec. 25.-While the Del.
aware, Lackawanna Il Western ferry
boat Montclair was crowded from end
to end on trip tonight from the foot
of Christopher street to Hoboken, fire
burst out beneath the midst of the
inner row OF seats in the mems cabin
on the starboard side. SO sudden was
the outbrrst of flames that those sit
ting on the seats had narrow escapes
from burning.
The shouts Of fire sent the passengers
in a rus b to the open ends of the boat,
men almost pushing one another into
the water. The panic spread to the
women's cabin, which was also crowd
ed, there being 900 passengers on the
boat. The Montclair was in midstream
As quickly as they could make their
way to the fire extinguishers, the deck
hands took them down and played on
the fire, which quickly became only
smudge of sitting smoke.
The boat was driven full speed, with
whistle shrieking, to the Hoboken
slip. The passengers rushed ashore
and the fire department put out what
remained of the blaze. 1t is supposed
that smouldering cigar stub com
fire to rubbish and started
the blaze.

MACKENZIE PROMISES AID.
Recommends Total Appropriation OF
$i,4OO,OOO for Jetty.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Senators Full.
ton and Gearin today called on General
Mackenzie, chief of engineers, in re-
gard to the needs of the Columbia river
jetty. General Mackenzie gave them
renewed assurance of his friendliness
and said he was doing everything in his
power to secure money to keep work in
progress.
He has recommended not only an
appropriation of $40O, 900 in cash, but
has urged that authority be granted for
the expenditure of an additional ST.
100000. He explains that $4OO, 900
is required for rocking" the jetty as
far out as the end of the present tram
way, but will not be ample for any ex-
tension. If authority can be secured
for the expenditure of 81, 10000 addi-
tionaI, it will be possible next season
to push the jetty much farther sea-
ward, and in fact approach the point
where it is expected to end.
Major Roessler, in his report, re-
commended an appropriation of ST.
900, 900 to complete the jetty. This is
a higher figure than the previous esti-
mate, but his estimate is reduced ma
terially by the War department.
The Oregon senators will exert their
best efforts to secure the appropriation
recommended by General Mackenzie,
and will furthermore insist upon the
authorization of additional work to
the extent of $1,000,000 The other
Northwestern senators and representa-
tives will work in accord with them.

Railway system to August Belmont
The Metropolitan system includes
practically all of the surface roads on
the island, and Mr.. Belmont is presi-
dent of the Interborough Rapid Transit
company, which operates the elevated
roads and subway. The price paid
was not made public.

SurNeYinP Weed Road

Klamath Falls-Some excitement was
caused in klamath Falls recently by
the arrival of Engineer ID. ID. Grifiths
with crew of dozen railroad engin.
eers and surveyors and the announce
ment went forth that they were the ad-
vance guard of the California North
eastern Railroad company, successor to
the Weed Railroad company, which is
to receive bonus of 800, 900 to build
railroad into the town.

Weyerhauser Road for Lumber.

klamath Falls-Following the def.
mite announcement that the klamath
Lake railroad interests have been pur-
chased by the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
company it is announced that the Wey.
erhaeuser people do not contemplate
building to this city, but will only aim
to use the road as an outlet for the
large timber interest they hold in this
part of the country. They will remodel
the roadbed, cutting out the switch
back in getting from the klamath river
bottom to Pokegama, by driving long
tunnel.

ALL RUSSIA PARALYZED.
Empire Tied Up by General Strike
and Food is Scarce.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-With the
strike in force throughout the entire
empire, conditions are again becoming
more and more alarming. While it is
certain that the strike leaders are ab-.
solutely opposed to violence, it begins
to look as though they would be unable
to control the forces. Famine is the
one thing to be feared, inasmuch as the
supplies of TODD within the city have
been heavily drawn upon during the
last 30 days, and now that all the out
put of the foodstuffs is at an end,
prices are beginning to advance and the
common people must certainly suffer.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
SERVICE IMPROVED.
Southern Pacific Arranges New West
Side Time Gard.

Southern Pacific Arranges New West
Side Time Gard.
Portland-Requests for better freight
service on the Southern Pacific between
Portland and Corvallis have been fruit
full, for the company has arranged a
supplementary timecard which will
give that territory daily freight in
each direction instead of tri-weekly
service.
Simultaneously with the Inaugural
tion of the new train, the st. Joseph
Lafayette cutoff is opened, and this
means the eight and one-half miles of
track between Lafayette and Whiteson,
on the Yamhill division, will not be
used to any extent and may be abaud-
oned entirely.
The principal advantage in the new
passenger time schedule will be that
residents of Dayton and Newberg can
ride into McMinnville, thC county seat,
and return home the same day, as the
trains will be operated via Dayton and
McMinnville.
There are no stations on the Yamhill
line between Lafayette and Whiteson,
and but two spurs, so it is figured no
particular harm will result if that por-
tion of the road is torn up. The deter
mination of the Southern Pacific to
place daily freight train on the route
pleases shippers, both in Portland and
some time a strong effort has been
made by the shippers of McMinnville,
Dayton, Forest Grove and Hillsboro to
secure a better service, but this could
not be satisfactorily arranged until the
cutoff was completed, which cost $43,
647.

were at the bottom of the trouble. They were in saloon along with sev- eral other Mexicans and had a fight. After that the younger brother started away with another man, and the elder brother raised an objection. The com panion of the younger brother had gone outside the saloon and was taking no part in the fraternal controversy when the elder brother rushed out of the saloon and began an assault upon him.
 Constable Harry Troops was on> the ground and grabbed the arm of Con treras as it was drawn back to strike. He put COntreras under arrest. when two other MeXicans, E. RelareZ and Francisco Baracan interfered, Rela- reg saying that he was going to take Contreras home. He pushed himself between the officer and his prisoner and in the struggle which followed the of ficer's clothing was torn. The officer succeeded a little later in taking pos session of his prisoner. who struck at him. whereupOn the officer knocked him down with his gun.
 In the meantime the crowd was gathering and all accessions were un- friendly to the officer. who was threat ened with violence. the chief threatener
 
 for a moment by pushing the mug gle of his cooked revolver against his abdomen. The shooting could not have been longer delayed, but just at that moment two men, one Howard in charge of a camp of workmen up the river and the other, BorwOrt, a sec ton foreman at Tempe. came along, attracted by the growing crowd. The officer by this time stood with his back against the building. his cooked revol- yer in his hand. holding back the crowd which was growing more and more az gressive. He called to Howard and BorwOrt to come to his assistance. One of them told him that he would be jus tifed in shooting. On their appear ance the crowd began to break up. and the officer. who still had possession Of Contreras. turned him over to them to take to jail Then he went into the saloon where he found RelareZ and Rarcanan in rear room. At the point of his gun he conducted them to jail on the charge of interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty.

HE POINTED A euN-Anastacio

HE POINTED A GUN-Anastacio Berassa accompanied by his mother in-Iaw visited the office of Justice JohnstOne yesterday to make complaint against a neighbOr Juan Ramirez, charging him with threat to commit murder. He had come to their house yesterday morning with a gun. He pointed it at the house and invited them to come out and die. He went away and later they came to town. They met him again when he called them opprObrious names. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Ramirez. who lives near the Four Mile house Along in the afternoon a report of outlawry near Alhambra reached the office of the sheriff Francisco Quijuis complained that his tent northwest of Alhambra had been invaded by Am brose Montoya armed with a knife and a gun. MOntoya threatened to kill him. Deputy Sheriff Cunningham went out to see about it. He readily found Mon toya, but the latter at first declined to be taken into custody. It became nec- essary for the officer to point a gun at him. Montoya was lodged in jail. He will have a hearing before Justice Bur nett this morning.
 
 demonstrated that when he has just an occasional reminder. Eugene Brady O'Neill possesses one of the best memo ries in the world. He was seen going home Saturday night with a piece of machinery under his arm that belonged to the equipment of a washing ma chine. To a friend who commented upon the fact he told his little story which was that the machine had been repaired for a couple of weeks and he had been trying to remember to take it home, being daily reminded by Mrs. O'Neill every time he left the house. Saturday afternoon when he got down town MT O'Neill took his hat off to wipe his perspiTing brow and a little piece of paper fluttered out of i5 to the ground. Picking it up he saw writ ten upon it the words washing ma chine" Shortly afterward he reached in his trousers pocket for his knife and felt another piece of paper on which he found the same magic words. Later he reached in another pocket for his purse and found another bit of paper similarly inscribed. When he reached in his hip pocket for a bunch of letters he was carrying he came in contact with another legend of the same pur- port Each of his shirt pockets during the course of the afternoon gave up the same secret, and everywhere else that a message could be secreted it could be found on investigation. All Saturday afternoon MT. O'Neill paraded the streets shedding bits of white paper with writing on them, and when he took his shoes off in the evening other bits 7uttered out. But they were superfiu- ous. for their mission had been ac- complished.
