Although .1'.746 bnllots were cast in
Multnomah County last Tuesday, only
9. fill wore counted, the other lLt. btlng

by wards, is as follows. Ward 1. lfil':

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

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.

Those were the last words he spoke

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.

"It looks very suspicious to me." said
Mr. Swett, addressing his remarks to

Mrs. Hurlbut, in a letter received

"I claim to know a great deal
about a few ailments, rather
than a little of all human ills."
THE WORK OF A SPECIALIST
DOINti OF A FEW THINGS
There is not a physician living who can claim
to be proficient In the treatment of all human
aliments and diseases. To attain the Highest pos
sible degree of science would require half a
dozen lifetimes of study and as many more of
practical experience. The regular practitioner
is proficient In a large number of the com
monest and most easily conquered diseases.
The snec.ialist must' first become proficient for
general practice, and must then gro on to proficiency In a few of those
conditions and diseases more difficult to understand and more difficult
to cure.
