Nov. 5 (To the Editor.) The yearly cnrtT-lliution of new par merits to the YL::irs Nirso Association from the NV.'ri'ework rjuilrt is one of our mrst a'-cenlaole 1onattor.s. It is dlffi rnlt for the onti'i1r to toMliz. the sic nirrane of the jrift of e now garment to those who are !.'s fortunate than our selves. The visltmic nuise enters homes where the recnlar routine is tvoken throuch illness. The life. pov.rty strieken always, is more di?.trssed than n.ual throuuh the adU'I huri n of dis ease. Imagine, then, of the relief whieh eomes to tiie miHier when an ahsolut"ly pew itarrr.ent is piven to her n it niw that has leen worn, and must he mended, or altered to tit. hut one that is clean and new and ready to wear. Sickness and Krief adlej to th distress of poverty pive us a eomhir.ntion that requires an umisual pninic t overcome. We can lm.tcin w l:out anv ert-at effort, tl coinlo: t anu ifU'f of the mother, when the fceed of clothing Is met through the eifts that are made possible through the Needlework Ouild. No orsanizatlon can aiipreciate this more keenly than the Vis ilinsr Nurse Association. Neither the nurses nor the family of the sufferers have the time for repairing or washing the clothing that we should be obliged to give could we not draw upon our Needlework Guild donation the clean, new flannelette nightgowns. for the mothers, the little shirts. ptticoats and soft, dainty nighties for the little Mrangers the freh. new sheets and pillowcases for the sick bed too limited nly in quantity to meet the nei-jls of our nurses In their work of mercy. Aa our work grows, our needs grow, and each year our list is longer, and more varied is the demand on the Cuild. We believe, too. that the Guild use? the proper kind of discretion In the distribu tion of the garments and the management is to be congratulated on its wisdom. lav- we add a last word of hope that this year's storehouse Is 'full to oyer fluwing. At no time in its history has the work of the visiting nurse made such a heavy demand on its resources, and we meet the same condition In the other organizations.

Although .1'.746 bnllots were cast in Multnomah County last Tuesday, only 9. fill wore counted, the other lLt. btlng defective. The total number of votes oust, by wards, is as follows. Ward 1. lfil': 2. l!rto; 3. 1 4 5; ; 4, i54J; 5, fi. 1144; 7. 3143; 8. 500; 9, 3:t; 10. 305; country. The total vote cast In the city was 2t.3t. Many ballots were thrown out because they bore some distinguishing mark. Oth ers were torn. In one instance a votor wrote his name at the bottom of the ballot, marked in the crosses at the proper places, underlined his favorite candidate, and drew the picture of a bird opposite the one whom he wished to have defeated. .Another voter marked his crosses between the names of the electors and the Presidential candidate. His ballot was thrown out. although the the courts have ruled that if the ballot bears no distinguishing; mark, and is not defaced, and the intent of the voter can be determined. It shall be counted. Voters have been known to tear small holes op posi;e the names of the electors for whom they wished to vote, but as this Amounts to a defacing of the ballot, the judge. of election are compelled to throw such ballots ouL The chairman of the election boards made a number of suggestions in answer to the inquiry slips sent out hy County Clerk Fields. It is probable that at an other election some of these suggestions will bear fruit in increased efficiency in handling the election. Some chairmen recommended that three horses instead of two b placed in the. tents to support the tables, as they were not solid. Others suggested that the tents be located on paved streets, that sawdust be laid in the tent and about It. to prevent voters from walking in the mud. and that Poors be laid. It is probable that Mr. Fields v.ill make provisions for IIoom. F. W. Nolton. chairman of the hoard In Precinct 10, recommended that provision le made to have the meals for the elec tion board be sent to the tents, thereby obviating the necessity for closing the polls at the noon hour and keeping the members of the board from polng hungry. Henry Moore, chairman of the board in Precinct 74. recommended that ropes be stretched 50 feet from the polls to mark the distance at which politicians must remain.

His chest waa crushed bv the blow. The balloon borrd.d along on the roof untif It collided with the steeple, drag ging the unconscious balloonist after it.

Fore BLAMED FOR DELAY ' Car Company Said to Hold Up Street Improvements. i EXECUTIVE BOARD TO ACT Isaac Swett Hopes to Throw on Con tractors Burden ot Seeing That Work. Between Tracks Is Done Promptly. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has the city at its mercy, and can hold up street improvement work Indefinitely, unless some means are found ana applied to stop the corpora tion, according to the declarations of P. E. Sullivan, a member of the street committee of the Executive Board, at the meeting of that committee yes terdav afternoon. He asserted most emphatically that something must be done by the municipality to force the company to -get busy" with" its street work, and the commit tee virtually decided upon a policy of forcing the various contractors to ar range for a plan to compel the car company to proceed promptly with its share of each improvement, or to suf fer the penalty provided by the charter for delinquency. ' Sullivan Calls for Action. "Thle clU' lias got to do something to force the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company to go ahead with its portion of the street improvements." declared Mr. Sullivan. "The company Is holding up a lot of work, and can hold up street Improvements Indefinite ly, if i'. so desires, unless some means are devised and applied to force the company to time. From letters ad dressed to this Board and to all city officials, we have It officially that this company will not do any more street Improvement work than it Is forced to do, and it seems to me that we must adopt some plan to force it to do its share of all contracts, promptly so that contractors will not be delayed." Isaac Swett chairman of the com mittee, blamed the contractors for fail ure to find some way to make the car company do its share of the work, which consists of Improving between the tracks. He said that it seems to him that contractors should be required to do their work in the contract time or suffer fines. He thought this would solve the problem; that the contractors would be able to get the railway cor poration to push its part of the work, if they would try. , Objects to Continued Excuses. "It looks very suspicious to me." said Mr. Swett, addressing his remarks to George Simon, of the Pacific Bridge Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child birth. The thought of the suffering and danger in Mrs. Susan Hurlbut, 81 N. Franklin St., Wilkesbarre, Pa., who celebrated her 100th birthday anniversary on Jan. 7, 1908, and is the only cente narian in that city, praises Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as the world's best tonic stimu lant and invigorator for the aged. It has restored her ap petite, given her health and vigor, and enables her to sleep well. She is remarkably well preserved for one of her ad vanced years. Mrs. Hurlbut, in a letter received Jan. 29, 1908, says: "I have taken Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and I can truthfully say it has given me strength, makes me sleep well and gives me a good appetite. Your medicine is the best tonic for people to take if they want to live to be old and to be in good health. You may print this if you wish."
