full State ticket, members oil the gen
eral assembly and county and city
officers are elected.
Those are the figures given out by
members Of the two political parties
representing the leaders and the NOM
inees. Some few over-zealous men
incline To the belief that the total
vote will exceed that figure, but those
best informed see no reason TO make
an advance
The Democrats will receive 10000
and the Republicans will receive
TO 900. This gives the Democrats a
majority OF 10000. and there is no
reason 10 believe that it will fall much
below that figure.
Basing the total vote at 100000,
some enthusiastic Republicans make
bold to say that Swanson will not win
by more than 5000, and on the other
hand, some Democrats assert that it
will be $4,000 or more. Some days
ago Senator Martin. regarded as an
authority in matters political, said he
thought the vote in the State would
give Mr.. Swanson about 10000, and
it is believed that he based his cal.

RULING is MODIFIED
RELATIVE TO PAYMENTS OF
RENTS ON LEASED LANDS.
Renters of Allotments on Reservation
Can Make But One Payment
When Dates Conflict.

The ruling relative to the payment OF
rents on lands leased Of allottees on the
Umatilla Indian reservation, which re-
quired renters to make two equal annual
payments on October and April in
advance, has been modified SO as to
make but one payment compulsory when
the two payments would become due at
the same time. Major j. J. McKoin,
superintendent of the Indian agency,
gives information of the change in the
ruling and says that renters who had
complained of the terms will now have
no cause for grievance. All persons
farming on the reservation will be re-
quired to comply with the ruling as
changed or else proceedings win be
begun at once to dispossess them Of the
lands.
Major McKoin has been busy sending
cut the amendments to the ruling to all
the lessees and renters OF land belong
ing to allottees of the reservation. The
notice is as follows:
''The circular notice dated March III,
1905, in regard to advance payment of
rents on leased allotments is hereby
modified so as to require one payment
when, under the terms Of the notice,
two payments would have come due at
the same time. In such case the time
Of advance payment will be fixed at the
agency office.

IA. o. U. W. NEW PLAN.

Past GRAND Master Fceney Explains
Method OF Insurance.
The A. O. U. w. is at present under
going readiustment of rates, being the
second change in its 36 years of exist
ence, and the reason therefor was clear
ly explained by Mr.. Feeney before the
Athena lodge last Saturday evening.
He said in part:
"This order is the pioneer in fraternal
insurance and so must blaze the way.
We have submitted to our members the
choice of two plans of life insurance.
One is as at present the classified or step
rate plan. The other is whole life in
surance, carrying level rate through
life and accumulatlng reserve in which
the policy holder has veeted or in
dividual right; he will never be sus-
pended SO long as he has cent in this
reserve to his credit. After three years
membership he can take a paid-up
policy maturing at death, or can bor-
row or draw down 80 per cent OF his
reserve In cash, thus overcoming the
great objection to fraternal insurance
that you have to die to win.' This
plan has been adopted by 28 Of the
grand jurisdictions and has been found
to do all that is claimed for it, wher-
ever tried.
The Grand Lodge Of Oregon will
meet in special session on Thursday,
April IS, at Elks' Hall in Portland. to
adopt the new plan.
