clause attached was adopted Provid-
ing for the registration of voters for
the city primary election and elec
ton to bc held In May and NOvem
her. in conjunction with the regular
state primary and general elections
The special registration Is required
because the precincts adopted by the
county court do not coincide with
the boundaries OF the precincts I'm
Pendlcton. The work OF registering
city voters begins 90 days before the
primary and closes 80 days prior To-
tho holding Of the primary. In tho
fall the same rule applies to the gen
eral election Consequently the res
7istration of voters for tho city pri-
mary will start In March. J. J..
Beam was last night elected as res
istratiou clerk.
\ feature Of the city registration
for the primary is that It ls ucedles'
il past customs are adhered TO. n
has been the custom for many ycars

Further light on the subject of de-
veIoping the timber in the southern
part of the county was thrown today
by S +. Wilson, Portland attorney,
who is here. Mr.. Wilson is interest
ed with the parties who bought the
holdings of the Northwest Tim Der
Company and he says they are plan
ming to develop the timber as quick
ly as possible. consistent with the fl
nancial situation.
The plan of the company calls for
getting busy shortly after the next
liberty loan is subscribed. In the
event the war situation tightens so
as to make such a development in
advisable it will be postponed. other
wise it will be carried out.
As Mr.. Wilson understands the

, matter. the railroad company will
not extend its line but will lend
equipment, rails and rolling stock,
except motive power. to a company
that will construct the road. Hence
the timber company will have a rail-
road building job as a big considera-
ton at the start.
The plans of the company call for
"a mill at Pendleton with a capacity
of 125.0 900 feet a day. The matter
has not reached a point where the
company desires to secure a site or
other local accommodations
There is a possibility that other
capitalists holding other bodies of
tim Der in the southern part of the
county may also be figuring on de-
velopment plans.
