would approve the chief deputy, he
must report to the state engineer. It
Is further held that the state engi

DEFINES QUALIFIED
SCHOOL ELECTORS
Hchool Superintendent Gives Valu
able Information on Subject.
The County School Superintendent
In response to many requests, baa pre
pared the following statement, out
lining the qualifications of electors
at school elections. This is of par
tcullar interest lust nt thi. imo
the time for holding school electiona
is drawing near, being the third Mon-
uuy in June.
8t. Helens. Ore.. Mnv i 9. 1 01 c
To the public: In response to many
Inquiries and by special request, I
hereby name the qualifications of a
voter at a school election. These
qualifications were not changed by
the recent legislature, nor by the
amendment requiring one to be fully
naturalized In order to vote at county
and state elections, nor WAM thaaa
quaiincauons effected by the woman
suffrage amendment.
A foreigner must have his first
vapor oniy.
Districts numbers 1. 2 K 7 i
26 are second class districts; all other
districts In this county are third
ciass.
Any citizen, male or female, '21
years of age who has been In tho toi
six months and thirty days in the dis
trict and has property as shown by
mo msi county assessment may vote
in the districts of the second class.
In a third class district a voter
must have been six months in the
state, thirty days in the district. He
must have property or be the head
of a family. He may both have prop
erty and be the head of a family.
In a third claBS district both hus
band and wife may vote if they both
have taxable property. The husband
may vote as the head of a family and
the wife may vote if she has prop
erty. Any voter at a school meeting Is
eligible to hold office as clerk or di
rector. A wife's citizenship depends en
tirely on her husband. If the hus
band Is a foreigner, so Is the wife. If
he is a citizen, so Is his wife.
A woman foreign born who mar
ries an American citizen, at once be
comes an American citizen. An Amer
ican oorn woman and citizen ot the
United States marries an unnatural
ized foreigner, she becomes a for
eigner, and cannot vote.
Sincerely, J. W. ALLEN,
School Superintendent

Make M ay With Articles of Value
Sheriffs Search for Them. -
The sheriffs office was notified late
Tuesday evening that robbers had
entered the section house at Houlton
and made way with several articles
ot more or less value, and the officers'
assistance was needed in running
down the culprits. Sheriff Stanwood
made a systematic search as tar
north as Deer Island ' and Deputy
Brown journeyed southward as far as
Scappoose, but their efforts were fu
tile. The culprits were either In hid
lng or had made their way safely out
ot the country. The depredation was
committed early in the forenoon, and
as no notice was given until late In
the evening, there was sufficient time
to get out ot the way. A revolver,
suit case and some clothing were
taken.
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

Contests Will Take Place on St. Hel
ens Courts Tomorrow.

championship for Columbia county

Inscribed on the cup. Girls' doubles
will be substituted for the mixed
doubles as soon as there are enough
olayers.
No admlsston will be charged, and
It Is hoped that a larger crowd will
be out to encourage the teams.
NO. 21
CONTRACTORS DECIDE
TO RESUME WORK
COURT'S ATTITUDE IN THE MAT
TER COMMMRNDABLE, HAV
ING BENEFICIAL EFFECT. .
Construction Work on Highway Was
Resumed With Vigor on Last
Thursday, . '
An unexpected termination has re
sulted out of the controversy between
the county court and the Consolidate
Contract Company regarding finan
cial matters. The date for arriving
at some definite understanding was
set for last Saturday, but it did not
take place. No move was made on
the part of the contractors until the ;
fore part of this week, when they
notified the court that they were
ready to obey its mandates and re
sume construction work.
It has been evident right along
that the contractors were Inclined to
take advantage of circumstances
brought about by the removal ot the
former highway engineer and force
the county to pay an unreasonable
amount for what work had been per
formed. When a definite and deter
mined stand was taken by the court
that settlement could be had only on
the terms as outlined In the report of
the. engineer, the contractors were
evidently loth to attempt to force
their demands.
This attitude on the part of the
contractors is, without doubt, the
wisest course. The court has stood
ready at all times to effect a settle
ment on reasonable terms, but the
contention of the contractors would
have been vigorously opposed, even
to the extent of taking the matter
Into the courts.
Construction work on the highway
was resumed yea&erday.'.
