BUDGET PREPARED FOR
YEAR BY Y. ". c. A.
Mrs. Blackerby Resigns and
Miss Florence Cleveland
Takes the Place

At a meeting of those interested in
the success of the Young Women s
Christian association held today noon,
the matter of budget for the coming
year was fully discussed.
It will be noted in the budget, that
of the So, 500 asked for the coming year,
$500 of the amount is to pay for the
equipment of the new quarters. Under
ordinary circumstances, the budget
would call for only $4,000. So far, only
about 1000 has been subscribed and
the finance committee with some Of the
helpers, will continue their work in ask
ing for subscriptions until the neces
sary amount is raised.
With much regret the board of di-
rectors have accepted the resignation
of Mrs. P. L. Blackerby, who has been
with the association since it was organ
lied. She will return to her home in
Silverton about June l. Miss Florence
Cleveland of Portland was elected to
succeed Mrs. Blackerby She is a grad
uate of the University Of Oregon and
during the summer of last year. was one
of the assistants at the Young Women s
Christian association at the San Fran
cisco exposition.
The following is the budget for th'
year 1916 as estimated by the board of
directors this morning:

In this district on at least 20 bal
lots finely traced crosses In pencil

certain chosen candidates. Most OF

where the marks had been missed
disclosed the tampering. In other
cases, heavy lines were drawn thru
