In all the campaign rallies the discussion was confined chiefly to the Issues between the various aspirants to office, and comparatively little was said concerning the bond Issues and the pro posed amendments to the city charter.

Imperial Hotel Also Scenic Photos. ELEGTI01 m IN BRIEF SUMMARY PREPARED BT LAW YERS FOR COMMITTEES. Contains Information on All Points Likely to 'Be Raised Before Precinct Officers. At the request of the campaign commit tees of both parties Attorneys I A. McXary and Thomas G. Greene, repre senting the Republican and Democratic committee respectively, have prepared the following- summary of such sections of the election laws as will be of use to the precinct clerks and Judges at today's elec tion: Qualifications of electors An elector can vote only In the precinct where he has re sided for 30 days next preceding the elec tion, and he must have resided in the city six months next preceding the election. If he is registered in one precinct, but has moved Into another precinct, he can vote only by affidavit of himself and six free holders. Where an elector has become a resident of the precinct where he offers to vote less than 30 days preceding the election he can not vote therein, nor can he vote in the precinct from which he moved, for the reason that he no longer resides there. Error in registration In case of error of clerk in registering , an elector by placing him in wrong precinct, he can vote by affi davit of six freeholders as an unregis tered voter. Voting on affidavits All freeholders must take the oath before a Judge of election cniy. They need not all be present at the same time, but must each identify the per son offering to "vote and his residence. A "freeholder Is one who owns real es tate in his own name. Ownership of land by wife only Is Insufficient. Payment of personal property taxes, or of taxes on home, where the latter stands in another's name, does not qualify a man to sign blank "A" as a freeholder. The freeholder need not be a resident or voter of the precinct, city or county, but must own real estate in his own name within Multnomah County. Absence of Juge or clerk If a judge is absent at opening, the Judge and clerks present choose a qualified person of the same political party as the absent Judge to act In his place. The judges choose a person to serve in place of an absent clerk. The person chos en must be of the same party as the absent clerk, except In case there is no qualified person of that party present who will serve. If judge or clerk arrives In one-half hour from opening of the-polls, he Immediately takes the place of the judge or clerk so appointed. Rights and duties of challengers and watchers It is the duty of each Judge and clerk, or any elector present, to challenge any person offering to vote whom he shall know or suspect not to be a qualified voter. Candidates and their agents, and any per son selected by a political party, evidenced by a writing signed by the chairman and secretary of such political party, or by the candidate, are entitled to be present in the room where the ballot-boxes are from open ing of polls until conclusion of count, but during the voting they shall not be per mitted within the guardrail. During the count the judge who opens and reads the ballots shall sit so that the challengers can inspect the ballot as he reads it. In case an elector is challenged, the chair man of the judges must administer the oath contained in section 2772 of the law be fore any questions are put to the person challenged. If he refuses to answer fully any question put to him touching his qual ifications as an elector, his vote must be rejected. After his examination, if the challenge is not withdrawn, the chairman shall administer the oath set out in section 2774 of the law before permitting him to vote. The rules to determine qualification set out In section 2776 of the law should be followed, and in addition thereto, the name of the elector must be on the integrity list of the preeinct where he offers to vote, and his plac of residence must be the same as that stated on the precinct register. An elector,' although registered, may be challenged,' and must then take and sub scribe to the oath contained in blank "A." In trying the challenge the judges shall com pare his signature with that In the register and consider the same In deciding the chal lenge. They may require the elector to produce as many freeholders of the county as they deem necessary, not exceeding six, and have them take and subscribe to the second oath in said blank "A." Every unregistered elector offering to vote Is deemed challenged and must take and subscribe to the oath prescribed In blan& "A" before the chairman of the Judges of elec tion. The second oath in said blank must be signed by six freeholders and sworn to before the chairman or other judge of elec tion as above stated. Signed : U A. M'NART, .

Newell, President of the State Board of Horticulture, who has been here attending the meeting of the Oregon State Grange, and investigating fruit growing conditions, believes there Is a great fu ture in sight for small fruits in this state. Mr. Newell thinks the Loganberry Is bound to prove a winner both for market and canning purposes and that the Wil lamette Valley can develop canneries to put up this product very profitably. In future he thinks Western Oregon will supply the local markets and canneries with strawberries and that the Hood River product will cover the Eastern mar kets, where long shipments are necessary. At 4 and 44 cents a pound, Mr. Newell says, small fruit growers can sell to the canneries and realize a good profit. After studying strawberry conditions in various sections this year he is of the opinion that berries will remain at a high figure and that there is a growing market for all kinds of small fruits .that the rancher will do well to heed. CHILDBEN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink In the Morning. "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the schoolroom because of nervousness. "I was telling & friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at mealtime but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' 'I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most health ful drink in the world for children, as well as for older ones, and that the con dition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so fiat that I was In despair, but deter mined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled It 15 minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich, delicious flavor. In a short time I noticed a decided Improvement in my condition and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the schoolroom with 'ease and pleasure. I would not return tor the nerve-destroying regular coffee for any money:" There's a Reason." Read the famous little "Health Classic," "The Road to Weilville," in pkxs. J i a "Wild strawberries are scattered all over Rose City Park.
