The now registration law says tbat
every voter in this state before being el
igible to exercise the right of suli'rnge,
must register with the clerk of his own
comity lietween the tirst Monday in Jan
nary and 6 o'clock P. M. of the 15th day
of May of each year in which a goneral
state election is to be held. The law
provides that every elector must regis
ter either by appearing in the olllce of
tho county clerk or by appearing before
a justice of the peace or a notary pub
lic. Under this law registrations will
bo made free to the county by the olerk,
but it will cost the county 10 cents each
whero the registering is done before a
notary or Justice of the peace. County
Clerk Watts, sneaking of the law, Tues
day, Bnid that he would make an effort
to registor every voter in this county at
his ollloe instead of having them appear
before the justices and notaries through
out the county, which latter course
would in each caso involve an expendi
ture of 10 cents by the county. It will
be less work for tho clork if voters regis
ter with the clerk than otherwise. All
who can possibly do so will lessen labor
and expense by appearing beforo tho
county clork to register.

We all remember of bearing so much
about that great democratic paper

fill a long-fult want, by a great man
from Illinois, with 1-100,000 back of the

named tho North west News, but it has
shut up shop. There were not democrats
enough in Oregon to support it. Any
how, it was an anarchistic paper. No

Sunday evening about 7:30 the real

were entirely destroyed. The loss will
amount to about 1000, covered with

stoves and the . greatest part of the
household goods were removed a few
weeks ago, and Mr. Hart was not in
the house during the day. That the
fire was of incendiary origin there is no
question. It is generally presumed that
the fire was started in order to attract a

A good many applications are being re

school district officers for the valuation
of assessable property in the respective
school districts. Tho clerk is unable to
furnish the desired information at this

theater last May, the battle scene was
the talk of the town. It ta a scene in
hich the awful carnage of war is shown
itn a degree of realism that is astound
ing. There are suuadrons of artillery,
companies of infantry and squadrons ot
cavalry. The scene represents tho bat
tle ot Cedar Creek. At first the Union

Defeat is turned into victory. There
are over two hundred men and fifty
horses used in this scene, and it ia won

seems to be a modern title for phrenol
ogy and seems to be easy to learn as he
proposes in a course ot six lectures to
teach others to "delineate" whatever
that means for themselves. From the
lack of financial success that attends
most of the delineators that visit here,
we prefer something with more money
in it. Phrenological lectures bave of

Charles Hamilton, a young man who,
while working in rerd Prahl a camp

accident occurred Wednesday afternoon.

remains were returned to thia city
