Ten weeks remain for aspirants for par ty nominations to file theJr signed pri mary petitions. Several candidates al ready have begun preparing their peti tions, amqng them being C. A. Johns, who is an aspirant for the Republican nomination for Governor, and George E. Chamberlain, who will be the Democratic nominee for re-election to that office. The number of signatures required by law on a primary petition is 2 per cent of the candidate's party vote in the election of Representative to Congress in June. 1W4, but in no case does the law require more than 1000 signatures. Every elector who signs a petition must have registered as Republican or Democrat since January 2, 1906. For example. Mr. Johns will need 2 per cent of the 31.096 Republican votes polled for Representatives to Congress in the two Congressional districts, which would be 1022, but the law makes 1000 the maxi mum required. Mr. Chamberlain will need 2 per cent of 20,930 Democratic votes polled In that election, or 599 signatures. For State-at-Large Petitions. The signers of a petition for a state-at-largc petition must represent at least seven counties in the state, and not less than one-tenth of the precincts in each of those counties. The signers of Con gressional petitions must represent at least one-fourth of the counties in each district that is. four counties, there being 17 counties in the First District, and 1C in the Second and in each county at least one-tenth of the precincts. In a judicial district of more than one county, or In a Joint legislative district, two counties must be represented and at least one-eighth of the precincts in each. In a single county, one-fifth of the pre cincts must be represented. Section 14, of the primary law. covering these points Is as follows: If the nomination for a municipal offictv or an office to be voted for In only one county, the necessary number of flifitoers ehall In clude electors resldlns In at least one-fifth of the voting precincts of the county, niunlci lallty or district: If It be a state or district office, and the district comprises more than one county, the necessary number of slcncrs hall Include electors residing In each of at least one-eighth of the precincts In each of at least two counties In the district: if it be an office to be voted for In the state at larjre, the necessary number of signers shall Include elector residing In each of at least one tenth of the precincts In each of at leatxevcn counties of the state: If It be an office to be voted for in a Congrcssionad District, the necessary number of sigpers shall Include electors residing in at least one-tenth of the precincts In each of at least one-fourth or the counties In such district. How the Law Is Construed. It -is held by the state authorities, that each precinct described in the foregoing can be represented by one signer, if the candidate so desires, or by as many as he wishes, provided his petition shall repre sent all the necessary precincts and con lain the maximum signers required. This is the opinion of Attorney-General Crawford, Secretary of State- Dunbar and Governor Chamberlain. Many persons have construed the law to mean that each precinct must have at least 2 per cent of its last party vote for Repre sentative to Congress. t The vote by counties for Congressman in June. 1904, and the number of signers required on a primary petition for the state at large. Congressional, judicial, legislative and county nominations are as follows: Republican. Democratic. Slgna- - Slgna County Votes, tures. Votes, turrs.

T IS COMPELLED TO REGISTER IX ORDER TO RUN AGAIN. Will Re Forced to Forsake Senatorial Duties for Ten Days to Com ply With Statute. Senator Gearin must come home, some time within the next month. Jo register himsolf as a Democrat, with Counts Clerk Fields. In order to be a candidate for re-election under the di rect primary law. Such Is the general opinion of men versed in that law. The trip will take him away from his Sen atorial duties In Washington about ten days, leaving Senator Fulton to repre sent Oregon in that lime alone. The direct primary law provides that only tnoee men can be candidates for prlmarv nomination who j"hall be reg istered with the County Clerk. Senator Gearin departed for Washington before Christmas and the '-eglstratlon books were not open until January .2. Sec tion 13 of the law says: "Any qualified elector who has filed his pe'titlon and is registered as here in required, as a member of a political party, subject to the provisions of this act. shall have his name printed on the official nominating ballot of his party as a candidate for nomination for any office at any primary nominating elec tion, held under the provisions of this act. If there shall be filed in his behalf a petition as herein required." At. the last session of the legislature an amendment to the law was offered to exempt member of Congress from this requirement, who at the time of registration should be performing their duties away from home, but the amend ment waf- lost in the shuffle. Had it been passed. Senator Gearin would not now find himself compelled to leave his post In Washington. PUSHING THE WORK. Willamette Valley Traction Com pany's Plan. Work on the line of the Willamette Valley Traction Company is being pushed from the Salem end of the construction, and already. more than five miles of grade have been completed. The track has been graded from Salem to Chemawa. and the tics laid ready for the rails. These have been ordered from the East, and as soon as they arrive will be put in place. Construction of the Portland end of the line will depend on the quickness with which the franchises for the road arc granted. As soon as the franchises for entrance into the city are received the work" of construction from the Portland end of the line will be commenced, and will be carried on until the gangs from the south are met and the line Joined. Frank R. Chambers, the resident mem ber of the contracting firm of Barstow & Chambers, which is In charge of the work, stated yesterday that it was the expectation of the contractors to com plete the work in 15 months, and if con ditions were favorable in a year from the present date. It Is estimated that the line will cost approximately $1,000,000. The bridge across the Willamette River, which will be at Wilponvlllc or at New berg, will cost about 5150.000. and. will be a strictly modern steel structure capable of bearing the heavy traffic of the con templated road. At the present time the working fore employed Is small, but as soon as the Portland franchise is .granted the number of laborers will be added to until all the men are employed that can be conveniently worked. The Portland General Electric Company has contracted with the new company to furnish as much power as may be needed to operate the cars from the open ing of the line. It Is Impossible, accord ing to the statement of President H. W. Goodc. to tell at this time the amount of power needed. The power company, how ever, will furnish power as Is needed in the development of the business or the new company. 231 WAtHTNGTONST: PORtLAND OUCtOM."
