for that system before a great while.
lie is beginning to look forward to
the equipment Of the big prison
farm in Bradford county where the
State years ago purchased 1900
acres OF land upon which to house
and work the convicts. FROM his
report we take the following synop-
Sis which is highly interesting as in
dicating at least symptoms of some
change Of heart in the matter of the
popular demand for the abolition of
the convict lease system.
MIR. Mclaae calls attention to the
TACT that the State has no stOckades
OF Its own in which to house single
prisoner, either the women and hos
pital subjects, or the able bodied.
There were on Dec. 81, 1,421 State
convicts. of which number 2S7 were
women and hospital subjects. The
commissioner recommends that the
prisoners be leased for another four
years at the expiration of the pres
eht lease and the receipts from their
hire be used to equip the prison farm.
he recommends that the proceeds
from the hire of State cOnvicts for
the last two quarters of 1913 be used
Tor beginning the work Mr.. McRae
estimates that this would give s13O.-

building on the prison farm recon-.
mended by Mr.. McRae is a hospital.
Following this recommendation he
says:

JOSEPH BASLER is
DEAD IN PORTLAND
FORMER PROMINENT LOCAL
BUSINESS MAN PASSES AWAY
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.

News was received in Pendleton yes
terday morning of the death of Jo-
seph Basler, former prominent mer-
chant of this city, which occurred at
his home in Portland Saturday
night. The cause of death is given as
apoplexy. but 1t resulted from a ner-
vous breakdown from which the de-
ceased had been suffering for the
past six months. His closest friends
here were aware of his condition and
were not greatly surprised at receipt
of the sad news.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning at 3 o'clock at the Magda-
lene church, 23 Siskiyou street. Port
land and intercent will be made in
the Mount Scott cemetery of that
city
Deceased was born in Germany in
1858 and came to America about 1888.
A year later he came west by way of
California and stopped at Echo where
for several months he followed his
trade of tinsmith. From Echo he
came to Pendleton and worked as a
timer here until he associated him
self in the furniture business with a
man named Schultz. In 1883, he pur-
chased tht interest of his partner and
operated the business alone until he
sold out to Louis Hunter and w. r.
Graham, about seven years ago. His
store was located in the building
where the Cosy theater is now locat-
ed.
Upon his retirement from active
business, ne moved his family to Port
land where he has since lived at 449
East Fifteenth street north. Until
recently he has maintained extensive
property interests in Pendleton but
when he sold the Schmidt block to
Douglas Belts, he had no other real
property here except few lots. Dur
ing his business career he accumulat-
ed a fortune, which enabled him to
live comfortably during the latter
years of his life.
He is survived by his wife and three
daughters. Misses Rose, Anna and Ag-
nes Basler. the youngest being about
16 years of age.
During his long residence here,
deceased made a large number of
friends who will mourn his death. He
was a member of the local Elk lodge
and OF the local camp. W. o. w, as
well as the German societies. He
carried insurance with the Woodmen
to the amount of $4,000 and addition
al insurance in old line companies to
make the total $4,000.

ADOPTION OF new law LEADS
TO CONFUSION, 8 DAYS REMAIN
Citizens Are Urged to Get Their Names on Books Without
Delay II They Wish to Cast Ballot at City or Special
Election, the Latter on the Commission Form of Gov
ernment-- Should Register With County Clerk
No Swearing In

The new law also does away with
the swearing in of voters who have
not registered but there is a ques.
ton whether this provision is con.
stitutional The act of the legislature
iself raises this question when II
makes the provision conditional upon
the ruling Of the supreme court City
Attorney Carter is OF the opinion that
the provision is not constitutional and
cannot be considered so until the su,
preme court so rules. However, those
electors who have been in the habit
OF waiting until the last minute before
qualifying face the possibility of not
having their vote counted.
The 1912 registration will not enable
any voter to cast a ballot at either
the general or special city election.
II will, however, be sufficient for the
state referendum election in Novem-
Der. This means that not only will all
OF the newly enfranchised women be
required to register at once but also
that the men will have to do likewise.
The entire electorate of the city Of
Pendleton must register in order TO
vote at the election.
Registration for the city will here
after be made by precincts in
stead OF wards and. in order TO make
the wards OF the city correspond
with the precincts established by the
county court, a special ordinance
changing the boundaries will be In
troduced before the council wednes-
day evening. Inasmuch as the city
charter provides for only four wards
and there being five precincts in the
city as prescribed by the county
court. the council will throw two pre-
eincts into one ward. probably ward
2, and designate them as the first and
second precinct of ward ..

II the voters OF Pendleton want to
cast ballot at the general city cleo
tion in December or at the special ell
ectlon which may be called to con-
slider the commission form of govern
ment, II behooves them to register and
register without delay.
Owing to the fact that n new regis
tration law was adopted by the last
legislature and that no one has had
n clear idea of the provisions of that
law, there has been no registration at
all for the city election and now less
than ten days remain for voters to get
books.
According to the new law. the city
recorder no longer registers voters
for city election. They must regis
ter with the county clerk and that Of
ficial is required to furnish the city
recorder with list OF the registered
voters sixty days prior to the date of
the general city election. Falling uu-
on the first Monday in December, the
municipal election this year will be
held on December / which leaves but
eight days for voters to get their
names upon the copy which will be
turned over to the city recorder.
However, after October for n per-
iod of thirty days. n voter may still
register with the county clerk but, as
his name will not appear on the regis
ter furnished the city recorder he will
be required to exhibit his certificate of
registration to the election clerks be-
fore he will be allowed to cast n bal.
lot. The new law requires the county
clerk to furnish every registered voter
with such a certificate.
