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

Masonic Election
and Installation
Last Saturday evening Trine
ville Lodge No. 70, A. V. & A. M.

with the following result: Chas.
8. Edwards. Worshipful Master
J. V. Blanchard, S. W.j Wm. J.
Pancake, J. W.; R. L. Jordan,

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."

Dr. Bulgin has demonstrated the
value of sane, logical methods in
modern evangelism. He has not

light and ideals in the religious
