PRIMARY LAW POPULAR MINNEAPOLIS MAN TELLS OF ITS WORKINGS. First Practical Test of the Hennepin County Innovation Satisfactory, Except to Bosses, An Interesting talk on the working of the new primary-election law of Henne pin County, Minnesota, was furnished yesterday to an Oregonlan man by Judge Harrison, of Minneapolis. The latter and Mrs. Harrison are visiting Judge Cleland, of this city, prior to a holiday trip to Honolulu, for the benefit of Judge Har rison's health. "Our new primary-election law for Hen nepin County, In which the City of Min neapolis is situated, was enacetd two years sgo this "Winter," began Judge Har xtem. "Briefly speaking, It is a law to ascertain the direct wishes of the peo ple at primary elections as to the candi dates for whom they will vote on elec tion day. We have no noisy convention before the primaries, with delegates un der the thumb of a boss, misrepresenting the wishes of the people who elected them. "The candidate gets up a petition rep resenting 5 per cent of votes cast by his district or ward at the last general elec tion. After the petition receives the nec csrary number of signatures, the candi date hands It to the County Auditor, along --with $10 to pay the cost of printing. The County Auditor, examines the petition to see If the person so nominated has a right by law to be represented at the forthcom ing primaries." "Tour first primary election under the new law was held for the first time last September?" "That is so," went on the Judge. "Sup pose I tell you about that primary elec tion. It was the first primary election of Its kind held In this country. Well, after the petitions had been signed and exam ined and passed as correct by the County Auditor and Election Board, two tickets were placed In nomination for the pri mariesRepublican and Democratlc Fusion. When the polling day arrived, the people found the wooden polling booths used at previous elections open for business, and voting proceeded qui etly." "Were policemen present?" "Yes; but there was no occasion to call for their services. Strict order was ob served at the booths, and no one was al lowed to talk to voters within a certain distance of them. The results were en tirely satisfactory, as the people, by an expression of their direct will, and with out interfernce or dictation, were en abled to put in nomination men for whom thoy desired to vote on election day. When the elections were held, the state law governing elections came Into force. "If a man's t'eket shows that In our primaries he marked, say, four Republi cans and two Fusiun.sts, we count the Republican ticket cnl. If a candidate wishes to run whose party failed to se cure the 5 per cent of votes at the last general election, he can prepare a spe cial petition, under an old law, and pre sent It to the County Auditor, who has his name put on the ticket You can un derstand, therefore, that our primary law saves time and helps the two regular parties. In short, the man getting the largest number of votes at our primaries gets the nomination. The results of pri maries are declared by a Canvassing Board. "Naturally, the bosses and rings do not like the new law. and would repeal It if they could. This Is not possible at present, I am glad to say. and the Indi cations are that our county primary law will soon be made applicable - to the en tiro State of Minnesota. There Is no pro vision In our primary law for a county commit tee. and the law will likely be amended toward this end. "Ocr primary law would be a success in country districts, where every one knows bis neighbor. In this way more discrimination could be used as to the choice of candidates. In large towns many voters do not know much about the candidates. Take the case of our Mayor, Dr. Ames. He was a Democrat, but differed with Bryan on the money Issue. He became a Republican, and such was his personal popularity that he was elected by a big majority by Republican and Democratic votes. "Several Representatives In Washing ton State asked for and obtained copies of our primary law, and If our venture can help elections in that state, we shall be glad." INTERESTED IN SMELTER. Bohemia Conld Guarantee Ore If It Had a Railroad. Mining men interested in the Bohemia district are greatly gratified at the pros pect of the building of a smelter at Port land. They would like to know some thing about the man the O. R. & N. Co. has In tow, but as that Information will not be given out for a time, they con tent themselves with the reflection that he must be "on to his business," or the O. R. & N. Co. would not waste time with him. Since the Bradford enterprise fell through, about a year ago, there have been rumors now and then that a smel ter was "coming." Several persons have looked over the field, but as they lacked either money or experience, or both, It was suggested that they would better stay out rather than Incur the risk of failure. Some time ago a man from an Eastern State conferred with Bohemia people with the object of building a smel ter. He said he had $30,000 at his com mand, but that neither he nor his asso ciates knew the first thing about a smel ter or ores. "Keep your $30,000," was the advice. "If you had $1,000,000, you would fall." Mining men have discouraged all smel ting enterprises that did not have a true ring to them. They know that whenever Portland can get the ore to reduce, a smelter will be built to reduce It, and they are content to wait for that time. "In my opinion," said I. H. Bingham, who Is interested In Bohemia, "Oregon offers the best field In the world for mining enterprises on a large scale. Port land Is the place for the smelter, and the way to get It Is for a railroad to act In conjunction with a smelter man of ex perience. The O. R. & K. Co. has the right idea of the business, and Is going at It In the right way. It Is in position to bring to Portland not only the ores of Eastern Oregon, but also those of Coeur d'Alene. If Bohemia had a railroad. It could guarantee 30 tons a day of ore to a Portland smelter." The Oregonlan learns that Henry Vll lard took under consideration last Fall a proposal to become Interested In Bo hemia. The enterprise was of large scope, as It included the purchase of sev eral of the largest mines In the district and the building of a railroad from vol tage Grove to Champion Gulch by way of Wlldwood to haul the ores to the Southern Pacific. The project fell through with Mr. Vlllard's death, but there ap pears to be a good chance that some of his friends will take it up and put It through. MATINEB TODAY. "Idol's Eye" nt Cordray's "Turkish Bath" nt Metropolitan. The matinee attraction at Cordray's Theater, this afternoon, will be "Thu Idol's Eye." the funny comic opera In which Frank Daniels achieved such success. It will be presented by the Bos ton Lyric Opera Company, and will be elaborately staged and costumed. At the Metropolitan, the musical farce comedy. "A Turkish Bath," which has pleased good houses all the week, will be the attraction. Cars Must Have Weather Guards to Protect Employes and Passen gers From October to May. Bills requiring street-cars to be provided with vestibules and fenders will be in troduced In the Legislature. Senator Mays has drafted the vestibule bill, but the fender bill will not be put together for a few .days. The vestibule bill will be In troduced In conformity with a pledge made by the Citizens' legislative candi dates last Spring. Following Is the text of It: Section 1. Each corporation, company and individual owning, managing or operating any street railway or line In the State of. Oregon shall provide, during the month3 of October, November, December, January, February, March and April of each year, all cars run or used on Us or their respective roads, -with, good, substantial and sufficient vestibules or weather guards for the full protection of the employes of such corporation, company or In dividual. Sec. 2. The vestibules or weather guards provided for In section 1 hereof shall be so constructed and so maintained and adjusted upon each car during each of the said months as to fully protect the employes of such cor poration, company or Individual from the wind, rain and snow. Sec. 3. Any violation of the provisions of this act shaH be deemed a misdemeanor, and shall subject the owner and manager of such street railway or line to a penalty of $100 fine for the first offense, and $500 for each and every subsequent violation thereof; and each car run one day when not so equipped shall constitute a separate -violation hereof. Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of the Prose cuting Attorneys of the various districts of this state to see that the provisions of this act aro strictly enforced. adapted to dairying. From the Commis sioner of Agriculture of New York, I learn that the average person consumes annually 20 pounds of butter. I do not think this estimate "would hold good In a state like ours where so large a part of the area Is devoted to sheep and stock raising, and where meat fats, condensed milk, etc., are often substituted for but ter. "Professor Kent's bulletin will soon be ready for distribution. Copies will be sent to all who apply for them. I also have a number of copies of my report which give a list of creameries, their lo cation and output. The methods adopted by Professor Kent and myself have been productive of the best results. If there is a more- trustworthy way of getlng facts and figures I should like to know of it." BUTTER MANUFACTURE. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Estimates of the production of butter in Oregon last year are widely divergent. In figures furnished the New Year's edi tion of The Oregonlan, W. W. Baker gave the output as 13,199,101 pounds. Dairy Commissioner Bailey, In his report to the Legislature estimated 6,000,000 pounds. Commissioner Bailey was asked yesterday to explain the method by which he ob tained his figures for 1899-1900. He said: "My Information was taken directly from the books of 44 of the largest cream eries in Oregon. I gathered It for my re port, and Professor F. L. Kent, dairy in structor at the Oregon Experiment Sta tion, took It for a bulletin, on 'Dairying In Oregon,' which the Agricultural College Is soon to publish. In 1S99, I started out with a team and visited all the cream eries in Western Oregon and Coos County, and requested them to prepare statements of business done. Last yar Profssor Kent spent from six weeks To two months vis iting the creameries, traveling by wheel. The Information he obtained covered the name of the factory or creamery, the name of the owner, where located, by whom operated, pounds of milk used. pounds of butter fat, pounds of butter made, and the price at which the butter sold. As required by law, I sent blanks to all persons who make more than 25 pounds of butter per week. In this way we got reliable statements from 44 cream eries, which reported a production of 1,663,000 pounds In 1S99. About 60 cream eries did not report, but from letters re ceived from many of them and personal visits to some, it was learned that they are small Institutions, making from 5000 to 20,000 pounds per year. Making a liberal allowance for their output, the amount of creamery butter manufactured In Oregon in 1S99 was about 2,500,000 pounds. It Is not easy to get the amount of butter made on farms. In other states It Is estimated to be equal to the pro duction of creamery butter. This would make the total production of butter In Oregon In 1S99 about 5,000,000 pounds. "In 1900 the creamemry output Increased about 40 per cent compared with 1899. I do not think there was any Increase In farm 'butter, as the hand separator is so generally used throughout the state that all who can send their cream .direct to the creamer'. The output for 1900 was therefore about 6.0CO.00O pounds. It must be remembered that Portland buys every year 500,000 pounds of butter, which Is made on the Washington side of the Co lumbia. Again, I learn that Baker City, Sumpter and many other places in the eastern part of the state, buy their but ter from Southern Idaho, which is well Sweeping Reductions During the Giii Clearance Sale Our 1901 Clearance Sale is the greatest one yet.

Woman's Club Discusses the Servant Problem and Literature. There was the usual good attendance at the Woman's Club, yesterday afternoon, showing the warm Interest hat exists In the club programmes among the members. There is generally a lively discussion on some Important question of the day, and these debates bring out so much informa tion of the practical sort, such as en lighten, every-day life, that every one In attendance Is apt to go away with a grateful remembrance of benefits received. The discussion yesterday was a timely one, no less than the perplexing sevant glrL problem. Dr. Mae Cardwell, head of the department of home science, offered the motion that the Woman's Club should give Us support to the movement to es tablish a school of domestic economy In connection with the Woman's Home of the city, and import a. teacher of house hold science. Dr. Cardwell spoke of the necessity that was forcing them to take active measures of some kind in this di rection. One man of her acquaintance at Woodlawn Is spending his time at dish washing, his wife's attempts to find a girl having ended In hopeless despair. Several other men at Woodlawn are like wise compelled to spend much of their time in the kitchen, not only washing dishes, but doing the family laundry work beside. It was plain that some action must be taken by the women of the com munity to relieve the sorry plight of Port land householders, or the business in terests of Portland would suffer, with so many men of affairs away from their of fice desks. Mrs. P. H. Ward favored the Idea ot having such a movement supported by the Woman's Club. Mrs. Iievl Young asked whether It was Intended for this support to be financial or merely moral. i Mrs. R. H. Hoyt believed that the club could well afford to pay the expense of engaging a special teacher for such a school. Dr. Mary A. Thompson advocated the plan of having volunteer service from ca pable Portland housewives. Mrs. J. B. Comstock asked what would be the amount required to pay the salary of an Imported teacher. Mrs. Dalton. of the Home department, replied that specific details of this klna had not yet been considered In formu lating the plan. Mrs. Levi Young was of opinion that It would be a mistake to depend upon vol unteer local Instruction. The club should leave the matter alone until they could carry out the plan in the right way and pay a good salary to the Instructor. Mr?. H. L. PIttock favored the selection of a Portland woman for the work, in place of employing an outsider from the East, and believed that a capable woman could be found for $35 a month salary. Mrs. A. S. Dunlway spoke with enthu siasm of the ability of Portland house keepers, and thought the Scheme to mak use of home talent a practicable one. The president. Mrs. Grace Watt Ross, reminded the members that their club dues were only 75 cents a quarter, which did not allow for large expenditures. Mrs. Julia Marquam. a former treas urer of the club, said that it was only a question of finance and assured the mem bers that they were not in condition to assume such a financial responsibility. Mrs. P. Eggert referred to the excel lent work being done In the East, partic ularly In Hartford. Conn., where she had recently visited. There domestic training had become part of the public school sys tem. She believed In working toTrard this end in Portland a proposition that was received with much applause. It was at last decided to refer,the ques tion back to the Home department, which should report within 30 days, offering a more definite plan of action. Mr?. H. H. O'Reilly gave In very charm ing fashion, a sixteenth -century song. "O Nymphs and Shepherds, Come Away," w.hlch rereived a hearty encore, rs. Al bert C. Sheldon, the popular soprano, also gave a novel and highly interesting vocal number. The paper of the afternoon was read by Miss Frances Elmlna Cox on "Literature In Its Relation to Life." The paper was. replete with apothegms and pithy sen tences Into which the writer had concen trated the philosophy of her life ana work. IN THE SEVERAL COURTS. Arcument Over Constitutionality of .Street Assessments. In the United States Court yesterday the case of J. Thorburn Ross vs. the city of Portland et al., to restrain the city from collecting the assessment against the Marquam property for the improve ment of Sixth street, came up for hearing on an order for the city to show cause, if any, why it should not be restrained from collecting the assessment. The matter was argued by Messrs. Kol loch and Seabrook, for plaintiff, and by Ctly Attorney Long for the city. Plaintiff alleged that the law under which the city has made street assessments was void, as contrary to the Constitution of the United States. City Attorney Long filed an affidavit In opposition to the application for an In junction, alleging that Ross was a grantee of Marquam, and 'that Marquam had liti gated the question In the case of Allen vs. the City of Portland, Involving the identical question, and was estopped from coming into court again to litigate the question. The fact that Ross was a grantee of Marquam. was admitted by plaintiff. The argument took a wide range, and included a general discussion of what was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States In the case of Norwood vs. Baker. A long list of Fed eral cases was cited by the City Attorney sustaining the city's position that the question of creating a taxing district within which special assessments are to be made for public improvements rests with the Legislature, and the Federal Courts have no concern with the matter so long as the statute fixes a definite standard, and that the Federal authori ties cannot regulate or Interfere with the states In their taxing power when all are treated alike, or. In other words, when the law treats all alike under the same circumstances. The court expressed con siderable doubt about the propriety of al lowing Mr. Ross to stand by several years while the city was fighting this case in the state courts, and when the city had won, to come In and raise another ques tion at this late date. The court, on the conclusion of the argument, took the case under advisement. ESTABLISHED IN 1570. FURS! FU G. P. ESTABLISHED IN 1870.

In Pendleton over 200,000 bushels of wheat were sold Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, says the Tribune. At Helix and Adams a number of farmers disposed of their crops in part or in full, and at Athena, Weston and other points similar ly the prices of buyers "were accepted. The highest prlco reported was 45 cents a bushel for No. 1 Club, but It is thought that In a few Instances a slight advance of this wad given for extra good wheat. Most of the wheat, however, brought about 44 or 44-cents a bushel. Neir Umatilla County Roads. Umatilla County Court has ordered two roads opened according to the plats of the surveyor.
