Evkkv voter who cornea to St. Helena
between. now and May 16th, the date
when the registration books close,
should, if he haa not already done so,
see that bia name is properly registered
aa a voter, in order that he may have a
voice in the coining election. 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. Ana yet wnen
... , ., . ., . some iin-norn Baiesmun comes aiong
registermg, and if in the country, the with a ,ot o( cl 8helf or shop-worn
bwwuu, wnuHK-iKuuiBu,,, guous, or uumneu or interior iinpie-
city or town having streets, he must uients or musical instruments, which
state the name of the town or city, the
street or other location of his dwelling,
giving the number of such dwelling, if
the same has a number ; if it has no
number then it must be described in
some manner by which it can be readily
identified. 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. Not only is
it necessary to support the proposition

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.

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

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.

berlain's Cough Remedy.
During the early part of October, 18W),
I contracted a bail cold which settled on
my lungs and waa neglected until f
feared that consumption had appeared
in an incipient state. I was constantly
couching and trying to expel something
which I could not. 1 became alarmed
and after giving the local doctor a trial,
bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the result was immediate
improvement, and after I had used three
bottles my lungs were restored to their
healthy state. B. 8. Ei;wahijs, pub
