ELECTION LAWS MORE SIMPLE
Now Is the Accepted Time for the
Registration of Voters.

The changes In the election laws by
the last legislature are of great impor-
tance to the voter. Under is pro-
visions people are to elect United
States senators and new National oom-
mitteemen, and the hours OF voting
have been changed.
Before you can vote, however, you
must register. The registration books
are now open at the office Of B. B..
RiChards, where men and women may
call and register. That there may be
no congestion and necessarily incon-
venience at the places of registration
Just prior 10 election, as has resulted
In the past. special effort is being made
to impress upon the minds OF voters
that now is the accepted time for reg
lstration. .
Among the important changes made
in the election laws of tho state may
be mentioned the following:
Polls to remain open until 8 p. N.
--one hour longer than heretofore.
Primary election to be held on third
Friday in May biennially, instead OF
April in presidential years and Sep.

allied vices, than had previously eeen

"This is directly traceable to the

Every preference has been given
by the banking interests to the com

the farmer. For years the European
countries have recognized the neces-
sity Of giving attention to the question
Of rural credits. but 10 this country
we have gone on without turning q

that some system Of organization can

alleged injuries sustained by falling
on a Main street sAiiiawalk, resulted

Mrs. Ireland was represented by J. a.
Fee of Pendleton. and Attorney Wal

There was nothing whatever shown
by the plaintiff in the evidence ad-
duced that she had entailad serious
or permanent injury as the result Of
the fall. Il is said that even the tes.
timony OF Mrs. ireland and her hus
tand was contradictory In several i'm
portant points. That there was a de-
fective place in the intersection oi
the walk where the lady fell was moi
pl oven by the plaintiff.
On the other hand the evidence
from the testimony given by reliable
witnesses for the city, went to show
that the ailments claimed by the
plaintiff to have resulted from the
fall. existed prior to the time she fell
and was therefore not to be consid
cred as resulting from the fall. Even
the depositions, SO it said, from ply

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SIR JAMES TURNER
Bv HAROLD CARTER.

Big Jim Turner had taken 1t lnto
his mind to come into Balboa. There
was nothing particularly admirable
about that little East African coast
settlement, which consisted OF two
dance halls, four gambling establish
ments, and nine saloons, besides the
administrators residence: but the
mining camp in the interior did not
possess any Of these advantages. Be.
sides, Big Jim had just shot and seri-
ously wounded a thieving partner OF
his, and he had concluded that Balboa
was the best place Of temporary
refuge.
He had counted the money in his
pockets. He had four hundred and
twelve pounds two thousand
dollars. 1t had been his idea to spend
that in a month Of riotous living, at
the end of which time, no doubt, his
partner having recovered, there would
be room for him at the mining camp
again But as he stood In the midst
of the single street that Balboa pos
sessed, and surveyed the scene rath-
er unsteadily, a monstrous thought
took birth in his brain.
Slowly he pulled letter from his
pocket and read the writing by the
light Of the lamp above Sheeley's
saloon.
MY dear Sir James" it ran.
I'VE herewith enclose you the sum
Of one hundred pounds, With, as we
mentioned In our previous letter, " 3
left you by your father. the la
baronet. AS you are aware, unfc"
tunately Sir Edwin never relented in
his attitude toward you, and, thor gh
the title has come to you, the estates,
which were not entailed, have passed
to your younger brother. If we may
take the liberty of saying so, there ex.
lists no reason why you should not re-
turn to England While society, I'M
fortunately, Is not apt to relent to-
ward man who is baronet without
an income, we have assurance that
the parties whom you have affronted
are anxious that the affair which led
you to expatriate yourself be forgot
ten.
Kindly keep us advised as to your
circumstances, so that, in case there
should be new heir, or in case of
your unfortunate demise, we may be
in position to take measures accord
ingly.'
The letter was signed by a firm Of
London attorneys
Big Jim laughed rather hollowly
and turned into Sheeley's, The place
was packed with mining men and
