NOT ENOUGH PRECINCTS
Should Be 1 10 Instead of 111, Says
Commissioner Light ner.
It was the expressed opinion of County
Commissioner Ktghtner yesterday that
there should be in Multnomah County
about 140 precinets instead of 114, as is
now the case. The law provides that the
precincts shall be laid out by the Com
missioners and that there shall be but
300 voters in each precinct. Before the
registration books were opened this year
24 new precincts were added to the 90
which had previously existed, and it was
thought that these would fill the require
ments of the law. but so rapid has been
the growth of the city wihin the last
two years that the Commissioners failed
to estimate the population correctly.
Even in the vicinity in which Mr. Light
Tier lives, the Mount Scott district, he
did not correctly size up the population,
for precinct st registered 516 voters. Th
live precincts in that district show an
average of 341. The registrations were
as follows: Precinct 94. 275; precinct
J5, 326: precinct 96. 516; precinct 97. 3S1,
and precinct 9S. 20S. making a total of
1706. The precinct lines cannot now be
changed for two years, at which time It
wjllhe necessary to add a large number
more.

cy
Dr. P. L. Austin, manager of the Chicago and the Union Dental Parlorsi desires to an
nounce to the public that he has been arrested again for practising dentistry without a
license. Two other cases have been appealed to the Circuit Court and now pending. I applied,
to the Dental Board for a temporary permit and was refused., This is all brought about by
my advertising and placing on record what I can do, and do do. In a recent issue of thi3
paper I offered $1000 to any dentist, barring none, who would compete with me in painless
operation of the mouth. There has not been one response. All I ask is to have a hearing, to
vindicate myself, so as to convince the public that I am in the right. I further wish to say
that I am here to stay, and all those having dental work done at either office will be protect
ed by a written guarantee. Sutfi is not given by any other dentists. I have followed the
practice of dentistry for 17 years without a misfortune, and hope to follow it the balance of
my life. All my staff are graduate dentists, having 10 to 20 years' experience.

IN ESTATE OF H. A. SMITH
B. F. Smith Suo lo Compel F.xcou
tor .lotips nnl KIoroI to Aivounl
for $1A10 nil it Iff 10
Acres of Iiind.
Aooorjlnn lo n complaint fllcd In tli
Circuit Court yesterday. County Judite
Wetwtrr refuse to henr the. objei;tlon to
the flnnl yettlemcnt of tlio estate of H.
A. Smith, thereby violating: the law. It
Is alleiteif that he fulled to mnke the
executors account for J1H40 and 110 acrea
of land. N. Jonea nnd A. V. Fleirel
are made the defondnnta In the suit,
which was tiled by B. F. Smith through
his attorney, H. H. Riddell.
The death of H. A. Smith occurred In
May. 1502, when ho Jeft to his heirs a
third interest In aires of land, he-
sides other property. The land was rep
resented by a certificate of sale from the
State L.and Foard. The other two-thlrda
of this land was held hy W. N. Jones
and V. P Mnys. The County Court ap
pointed Jones and Flecl executors of the
estate.
It is alleced that in November. 1502. the
executors sold '."O acres of this land to
one Riddle for but In reporting It
only accounted for JTW'A There were S3.-.3
acres, it Is asserted, hut the executors ac
counted to the court for hut 6W The
Vemainlng- JK10 acre are ald to be worth
Further than this, it Is said that a
certificate was held hy the estate for
10.Cn acres of school land, that Jones and
Flesrel sold this for $17,264. and then
turned over J10.231 of the money to PI
P. Carnack. It Is said Carnack never
presented a claim auainst the estate, and
that this payment was therefore unlaw
ful. In June. 1905. after the final account was
filed. Attorney Riddell, it Is averred, filed
objections with the County, Court, but.
continues the complaint. Judge Webster
settled the estate without giving tha
objections a hearing, and refused to re
open it. HIk attention is said to have
been called to the matter a number of
times. Smith seeks to recover, through
this suit, J1R.S03 from Jones and Flegel.
