Now, however, they refuse to do so with the exception of Mr. Newsom, who has dedicated to the city bis part of the proposed street. We recommend that the bridge be not placed on East E street, but that it be placed on East D street, which is one block west of tho first site chosen. We believe a bridge on East I) street will serve the purposes of the pub lio fully as well aa one on East E street and coat the city nothing for land.

V. & A. M. held its annual election of officers with the following result: Chas. 8. Edwards. Worshipful Master J. V. Blanchard, S. W.j Wm. J. Pancake, J. W.; R. L. Jordan, Treasurer; Hugh It. Lakin, Secre tary; M. E. llrink, Senior Deacon; J. W. Carlson, Junior Deacon; Dale Jones, Senior Stoward; O. J. Adams, Junior Steward; J, W. Noble, Tyler. Following the election the above mentioned members were installed to fill their respective offices for the ensuing year. It has been customary heretofore to install on St. John's night, December 27, but at that time the Royal' Arch and Eastern Star have installation County Clerk Brown wishes to announce that the primatiea gen eral for state and district elections w.ll be held in April next ear and that registration of electors will start the first Monday in Janu ary snd continue through to May 15, although the books will be closed for 14 days during this period between the 10th day be fore the primary until the 15th dv after. Section 14 of article 2 of the con stitution of Oregon, requires that all laws pertaining to the noniina lia.i nf esmliflAtes. reuistration oi voters and all other things inci dent to the holding of the biennial election shall be enforced and be effective the same number of days liefore the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November that they have heretofore been before the first Monday in June biennial ly, except as way hereafter be provided by law. "Therefore, it will be necessary to have the registration books open during the summer tlie came length of time before the general election held in November as the first Monday in January is before the first Monday in June; in other words, the same time when they were open for registration before the general election in 1910. You will notice that this makes two registration periods; one from January to May and the other from June to October, with th t closed period of 14 days in April The 20-day period formerly -re quired tor registration of voters prior to the presidential election is covered by the period from June to October and therefore the books will be open at that time anyway. As I understand it, there will be but one primary election, and that will be held on the 45th day be fore the first Monday in June and the general election will be held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The regis tration books will open on the first Monday in January and con tinue bo until October, with the exception of the closed period of 14 days in April and from May 15 until about June 4."

The Daily Nationalist of Manhattan, Kansas, says: Dr. Bulgin has demonstrated the value of sane, logical methods in modern evangelism. He has not appealed to the unbridled emo tions, but to the intellect. Dr. Bulgin and his associates, Mr. and Mrs. George L.
