Hoquiam Registration Clerk
Holds Foreigners To The
Letter of Law

Hoquiam is to be congratulated
upon a city clerk who recognizes the
law and his duty to the public in the
matter Of registering voters. Clerl
Shaw takes the position that the Law
requires him to be satisfied that the
applicant for registration is capable
of reading and speaking the English
language.
The attitude of Clerk Shaw is com
mendable. He is but obeying the
spirit as well, as the letter of the law
That Clerk Shaw is we'll within the
law is shown by the following which
guides him and all other registration
officers
Section 1895 of Pierce's Code says,
that, mo person shall be registered
unless he appears in person before
the city ore town clerk or officer of
registration at his Office during office
hours and apply to be registered, and
give his name, age, occupation, num-
ber of place of residence, place of
birth, time of residence in the state
county, ward or precinct and if nat
uralized furnish satisfactory evidence
to such registration officer that he
is capable of reading and speaking
the English language so as to COM
prehend the meaning of ordinary Eng
lish prose, unless he is incapacitated
through physical infirmities, in which
case he shall furnish satisfactory evil
dence he was, before such infrmity,
capable of reading and speaking the
English language. unless such person
SO Offering was a qualified elector at
the time of the taking effect of this
act, in which case the provision with
reference to reading and speaking the
English language shall not apply"

PLACE BURDEN RIGHT
County Commissioner Locke Would
Have Property Benefited Pay
for Right of Way.

MONTESANO, Feb. 2.-The con.
tract for extending the North river
road to the county line was awarded
this afternoon in two parts, Holmlund
& Johnson get the contract for clear
ing, grubbing and grading at about
$3735. The contract for planking goes
to Robert Carl
In making a purchase of right of
way for the new road this morning,
Commissioner Locke established a
new precedent by ordering that the
right of way be purchased out of the
district fund.
II find good many people are
ready to testify as to the great value
of land wanted for road right of way"
said Mr.. Locke. Il believe Oftentimes
they do it on the general assumption
whatever money comes into a neigh
borhood from county fund is that
much velvet and hence they can af-
ford to be generous. Hereafter l pro-
pose right of way purpchases shall
be made out of district funds. When
a neighbor has to help pay for the
right of way himself believe he will
be pretty certain before he testifies
as to the value of the land"
A delegation of Dalzinne creek
property owners was promised an ex
tension of the road this summer by
the commission today Some of the
trail they have been using is being
fenced up by the owners and they
have no way in or out, into what is
said to be good neighborhood.
