A great deal of time and trouble could be prevented if every voter should, prior to appearing before the proper officer for registration, j properly inform himself thoroughly aa to the requirements for registration and be able to furnish all the information required by the registering officer. The person offering to register must give: First, his full name; second, business or occupation; third, bis age in years; fourth, the country oj his nativity; if naturalized, the time, place and court of naturalization, and exhibit to the officer of legal proof thereof, that is, either bis original papers or certified copies there of; sixth, his actual and precise place of residence of the elector be in s favored location. Both one's self and their neighbors are deprived of many opportunities for success in life through this misconceived idea. By eome times yielding a little oiten paves the way to' greater things, creates opportuni ties for advancing onea interests in other directions by making a small sacrifice in one instance. The idea that one person holds the key to the whole eitn.ition, and proposes to lock progress until their demand is met is an unfortunate, vic ious and detrimental one, but "pity 'tis, 'tis true." BEWARE OF THE FAKIR. His Plana! ble Story Often Catches the Unwary One. There ought to be some way devised by which our established business men could be protected against itinerant venders of spurious wares and merchan dise. Our business men are honest and public-spirited citizens. They have tneir homes here. They pay taxes to support the city and county, to build reads and bridges, support schools, and a hundred other public necessities. They contribute of the proceeds of their business to all kinds of public and pri vate enterprises. They are honest and reliable in every way. they guarantee the onalitv and remain here to make at the time of!lnelr guarantee gooa.

If the elector is not the head or proprietor of the house, that fact must also be stated, and he mutt state what part of the house he occu pies, giving room and floor, If from any cause the elector cannot sigu his name and mark his ballot, that, fact must be stated and the reason given. All of tii is information must be given at the time of registration and every person intending to register should know be fore he goes before the officer that he is prepared to give it. ' We are of the opinion that the law will prove burden some and unsatisfactory, so far at least, aa it appliea to rural districts. The per cent of illegal votes cast in these dis tricts is so small aa not to justify the ex pense of the taxpayers and the incon-1 venience to the voters. If the law had been made to apply to cities of a given population, it would have accomplished the ends to which it was enacted, as it is in the cities where illegal voting as a business is practiced, and there the in convenience of complying with the law is not great. However, as we have the law it should be given a fair trial. could not be sold in the larger cities at any price, they are allowed to place their shabby worthless goods in compe tition with those of honet-t and reliable dealers. True, it may be said that people don't bare to buy these spurious goods, but the fakir is a plausible cuss with a smooth tongue and will no doubt leave some of his goods with our people who will soon be looking for some one to kick them for their folly in allowing themselves to be taken in bv the fakirs. According to the statement in the Oregonian of Monday last, Columbia county will have no voice in the election of a state senator. As we understood the reapportionment act that passed the last legislature, Columbia county was placed jointly in a senatorial district with Multnomah and Washington counties. We presume this to be the fact, and the statement as it appeared in print to 1 erroneous. Anent the railroad proposition, it is of vital importance to the development of this part of the county that a harmoni ous and earnest effort be put forth to assist in the undertaking.

REVIVE BQULIZATION BOARD. The I'eople Nhould DouianU Thla of the Next liCgUUture. The lowering of the assessments of property in Multnomah county eleven million of dollars for last year will open the eves of the people to the necessity of a state board of equalisation. It is claimed that Portland doea over $100, 000,000 worth of btisiniM a year, and yet the merchandise ot that big city la a.-sessed at only 2,000,000. The money on deposit in the national hanks alone is over $7,000,000, and yet the money i asseaet'd at ouly (57,000, and these are only two item of this outrageous assess ment, which i fraud ou the balance ot the state. The only remedy for the balance of the atate is In a state board of equalisation, the coat of which ia nothing compared to what the taxpayers of tho state would savu this year by having tho assessment of Multnomah county raised to a decent figure. Cor vnllis timet te. Of course this low valuatiou would not coNt the people any more for taxes if the low valuation were uniform. Hut it ia au injury to the reputation of the state abroad where the results alone are known and the causes are not under stood. It must be said for the assessors, that there haa been a partially devel oped public sentiment that haa, in a measure, justified this method of under valuation, evidently thinking that iu Borne way it made the burden of taxa tion lighter. We cannot fool ourselves in this matter much longer, and if this ridiculously low valuation and in equality will serve the purpose ot stim ulating the next legislature to investi gate the questiou of securing fair asaesa menta and to provide a board of equali sation of three members, elected by the people, w ith power that will approach arbitrary authority in the matter of completing the work of partial assessors, the jicople will, in Uie long run, have pined by the result of it. There will be no question before the next legisla ture that will compare in importance with this one, and it is to be hoped it will he successfully met and solved. VKK.NONI.

Mr. Zimmerdale started ont with his pack of blankets, for Beaver, to work in Haldren's camp there. Orville Merrill was unfortunate enough to run a splinter in his arm about two and one-half inches, at Palm's mill, a few davs ago. It was extracted with a good deal of difficulty by the doctor, but his arm has given him no trouble since.

Our citizens are wide-awake when notices calling a public school meeting are posted, and especially so if there is anything in the notice about voting a tax. Last Saturday afternoon one of these meetings was held iu the upper room of the schoolhouse, and forty or more of the good citizens, male and female, were on hand to take part. The directors had contracted fur a six-month's term only, and wished an expression as to inrreaeing the length of the term and providing means to meet the expense. 1 here was considerable zood natured discussion, for when it came to voting a more substantial a small sac land holdings. What is asked for as a subsidy is indeed a small sacrilice to our people in consideration of the vast importance and benefit such an enter prise would prove to be to our county. The right-of-way will certainly be read ily donated, and little trouble w ill un doubtedly be met with in raising the other sulisidy that of three sections of timber. The success or failure of the undertaking lies entirely with the peo ple who would reap great benefit.
