Important change in the election laws
simplifying the registration and elec
tion machinery and making material
reductions in the expense. were enacted
at the recent session of the Legisla
ture. The new law providing for the
election of delegates to party .National
' conventions and Presidential Electors

Just what saving the permanent res
Istratlon law will effect is difficult to
estimate, but it should be a material
one. This law, while not considered a
I perfect one, is regarded as a step in
the right direction," to use the pet
phrase of State Senator Kellaher, of
Portland, it proviaes mat in rcsioioi
inir the electors the County Clerks shall
use the card Index system. The County
Clerks shall register any qualified
elector who may request to be regis
tered at any time'after the first. Mon
day in January, 1916, to within 30 days
preceding any general or primary elec
tion. As a result electors desiring to vote
In the primary May. 191S. will have
only about three and .one-half months
to register. With more than 300,000
voters in the state the County Clerks
will have their hands full registering
all who apply in that time.
An elector living -tn a county having
less than 100,000 Inhabitants may reg
ister election lay by obtaining the af-
ndavtts of two freeholders who are per
sonally acquainted with him as to his
qualifications. Jn counties having
more than 100.000 inhabitants elec
tors may register election day by
obtaining the affidavits of six free
holders as to their qualifications. In
the former case the registrations shall
be transmitted to the County Clerks
and. if found to be In accordance with
law, they shall be filed in the regis
ter of elections. Such registrations In
counties having more than 100,000 in
habitants will not be regarded as per
manent. Electors living In the county
seat shall register in. person with the
County Clerk. Those who do not shall
register without charge before, an of
ficial registrar in the county or with
the County Clerk.
Electors absent from their county
may register before any notary pub
lic or County Clerk in the county
where they may be. In such cases the
-notary public or County Clerk shall
mail the affidavit of the elector to the
.County Clerk of the elector's county
and may collect a fee not to exceed 25
cents from the elector.
Section 10 Criticised.
Section 10 of the act has been criti.
cised by election experts as to some
extent making a misnomer of the term
"permanent registration." It provides
that as long as the elector lives in the
precinct in which he registers, and at
least votes at one election held
throughout the county in the biennial
period ending November 13 after the
regular biennial general election, he
shall not be required to register again.
If he fails to vote as stipulated he shall
re-register. If the elector moves to an
other precinct or to another county in
the state, or if the boundaries of the
precinct in which he registered shall
have been changed, or if he desires to
change from one political party to an
other, he may register again at his re
quest. It is declared that in cities and other
growing communities precinct boun
daries are changing constantly and as
a result thousands of electors to vote
will have to register at least every
two years. It also is pointed out that
many voters may be disfranchised as
a result of this provision through ignorance-of
changes in precinct boun
daries. Election experts say the law
should have been. . provided for the
county clerks to make the changes
necessary for recording the electors in
the proper precincts when boundaries
are changed without the necessity for
re-registrations.
- Blaak: to Follow Elector.
When an elector moves from one
county to another the county clerk is
authorised to send his registration
blank to the clerk of the county where
the elector locates.
House bill 2!S, introduced by Repre
sentative Childs, is designed to facili
tate voting. It dispenses with the poll
book and substitutes precinct register
lists. It will not be necessary for ths
clerk to write the names of the elec
tors as they vote, but instead he will
check the names off on his lists.
One of the most important laws
passed by the Legislature is that pro
viding for the election of delegates to
party conventions and Presidential
electors. Under the law which it re
peals, which was prepared by W. S.
ITKen. the voters could vote for only
one delegate and one elector. Under the
new law, with the present apportion
ment, each party will be entitled to two
delegates from each Congressional dis
trict and four from the state at large.
Under it every elector of a political
party will have the right to vote for
two delegates from his Congressional
district and four from the state at large.
Nomination of Presidential electors Is
from the state at large, and each voter
will be entitled to cast his ballot for
the number of electors allotted his
party. The provision under the present
law which authorises- the state to paj
the expenses of the delegates is re
pealed and henceforth they will have
to pay their own expenses, as they do in
other states.

LA GRANDE, Or.. March 15. (Spe
cial.) Two white men. unquestionably
inspired by Chinese tdng emissaries,
last night riddled with bullets a 76-year-old
Chinaman as he sat idly
'keeping: store" In Tl Chung's shop en
Fourth street. Though four bullets took
effect in the shoulder and head, there
is some chance of nis recovery.
The attack bears every earmark of
premeditated assassination. The armed
assailants pushed open the door, left
unlocked through an oversight, and,
stepping boldly into the room, opened
fire without warning or demands for
money and in quick succession sent
four bullets coursing through the otd
man's body.
The victim of the assault was Wong
Won Duck, an uncle of Tl Chung, who
makes his home with his nephew, and
on occasions, like last night, remains
in the store when Ti is off shift
One bullet penetrated the right
shoulder, but the other . three struck
the face. One struck above the right
eye and missed the temple by a frac
tion of an inch: one struck just below
the right eye and the third did the
greatest damage. It found Its target
on the right side of the nose and
ranged downward in a circular course,
knocking out many of the teeth in the
upper jaw and practically all the teeth
of the lower jaw. Physicians found
it necessary to remove a greater por
tion of the lower jawbone and parts
of the upper.

BUMPER CROPS ARE EXPECTED
Fine Fruit Prospects Are Reported
From The Dalles.
THE DALLES. Or., March 15. (Spe
cial.) With the exception of an iso
lated place here and there, no wheat
in Wasco County was killed by the
freezing weather and scarcity of snow
during the Winter. Comparatively
speaking, the Wasco grain escaped un
injured, and. on the other hand, very
favorable conditions prevailed through
out the season, and ranchers of this
section are looking forward to ex
ceptionally good yields this year. The
usual amount of Summer rain, from
all Indications at the present time, is
the only requisite for bumper crops in
1915. ,
The acreage of wheat in this county
is about what it was in 1914. The
Wasco ranchers do not deviate from
their fixed habit of dividing their land
equally, summer-fallowing half of it
alternate years. The recent high wheat
price did not cause them to make an
exception to the rule.
Plenty of moisture has been expe
rienced so far, most of it going into
the ground in a way to do the maxi
mum amount of good.
Wasco County expects to harvest
the biggest fruit crop in its history
this year. Conditions have been Ideal
for the fruit industry. Besides this,
thousands of trees will bear for the
first time this Summer.
Never before has the prospect for
the fruit business in this section been
so rosy. Construction work will be
started on the erection of an evapo
rating plant by the Pacific Coast
Evaporator Company, a Portland con
cern. The plant is to be constructed
on property west of Mill Creek, in the
western part of The Dalles, which was
given to the concern by the City Coun
cil. The company will handle apricots,
prunes, pears, potatoes and apples, and
will also evaporate peeled peaches.
VALLEY GROWING MORE WHEAT
Idnn County Farmers Plant Largest
Acreage In Decade.
ALBANY, Or.. March 16. (Special.)
When the grain crop of 1915 is harvest
ed. Linn County will have the largest
acreage of wheat it has had in a dec
ade. - This is the estimate of farmers
and local millmen. .
More wheat has been and is being
planted In Linn County this year than
at any time since diversified farming
became the vogue in this section of
the state. For many years wheat was
practically the only crop, but of late
vears and especially in the past five
years clover growing, dairying and
fruit growing have gradually been les
sening the acreage of ' wheat and oats.
The remarkably high price of wheat
the past few months and the prospects
for a continuation of the high price
because of the European war has led
many farmers to devote all of their
available land to wneat tnis season.
Another fact which has contributed
to the large wheat acreage is that 1914
was a poor year for clover because of
some new pests wnicn appeared, brow
ing clover seed was becoming the coun
ty's most profitable industry and much
clover will be grown this year, but the
failure of last year's crop, coupled with
prevailing wheat prices, has caused
many farmers to plow up their clover
fields and seed them to wheat.
Considerable Fall wheat was planted
in Linn County and it is doing well.
The frosts in December killed a little
wheat and oats which had been plant
ed in low, wet land and this will have
to be reseeded, but the damage, taking
the county as a whole, was almost neg
ligible. Generally speaking, the Fall
grain is looking splendid.
Farmers are now plowing for their
Spring planting and indications are
favorable for an - auspicious seeding
season. -
RECORD ACREAGE IS PLANTED
Large Snow Fall. -Assures Heavy
Yield in Douglas County. .
WENATCHEE, Wi, Mar. 16. (Spe
cial.) Douglas County last year pro
duced approximately 3,000,000 bushels
of wheat and there was considerable of
an acreage in Summer fallow. This
year there will be the greatest acreage
in wheat in the country's history.
There has been unusual snow fall all
over the county, assuring a heavy yield
next Fall. Douglas County is still
covered with a mantle of 12 inches of
snow which Is slowly melting and the
moisture is going into the ground.
Approximately 75,000 bushels of
wheat on the East Side of the Colum
bia were marketed in Wenatchee this
year. On the Columbia slopes where
the snow has melted. Winter wheat is
in excellent shape. A large proportion
of the acreage was Fall sown and the
planting thia Spring will only be that
which it was impossible to put in last
fall.
Wenatchee marketed last year almost
7000 - carloads of fruit, 5500 being
apples. Notwithstanding the general
idea that this is an off year and that
the tonnage will be less than last year,
the fruit trees of every variety are
very heavily set and the yield next
Fall should exceed that of 1914. The
district crop last year was 75 per cent
extra fancy and growers are pruning
and spraying with the object of keep
ing up this record . -
BAKER FIELDS IX FIXE SHAPE
Farmers Are Hopeful Over Prospects
for All Grains.
BAKER, Or., March IB. (Special.)
Farmers in Baker and adjoining coun
ties are hopeful over the grain pros
pects. There has-not been a complaint
registered this Spring, despite the
gloomy outlook last Fall. Many farm
ers did not get their Winter wheat in
early enough, and there were com
plaints because it did not come up be
fore the early snow. They now report,
however, that the grain is appeaVing
early this year and that they expect at
least a normal yield, possibly more.
There has been an increase of "nearly
20 per cent in the grain acreage, and
all are looking forward to a good crop
and satisfactory prices. The same con
ditions of yield and price govern the
barley and oats outlook, although rais
ers are more conservative in their state
ments because of the possibility of
there being a water shortage due to the
light snow and consequent smaller
chance for sufficient irrigation.
Fruitgrowers also report a good out
look'. They do not expect a bumper
yield, but believe it will be normal at
least. Apples, cherries, peaches and
pears promise a yield equal to that of
previous' -years, and other fruits are
promising. There is less danger of
Lblight, growers say, than last year, be
cause of the previous efforts to eradi
cate the pest.
MUCH NEW LAND . IS PLANTED
Forty Per Cent Increase in Acreage
in Union County.
UNION, Or., -March 15. (Special.)
Farmers and fruitgrowers are antici
pating bountiful harvests in Union
County. Most Fall grain came through
the Winter In excellent shape and the
little that was destroyed is being re
seeded. The increase in the acreage
of Fall grain over last year's crop is
ner to 25 per cent and doing fine. So
far there has been little rainfall. Mil
crops are in nowise in need of moisture.-
The ground is In excellent con
dition and farmers throughout the
valley are working overtime to sow
and plant the Spring crop. The esti
mate of Spring wheat over last year's
acreage is from 10 to 15 per cent. The
increased acreage is the result of plow
ing up meadows and pastures and the
best of results from this new wheat
ground is expected.
Fruit prospects are promising and
trees are filled with the swelling buds.
The cherry crop promises to be the
most abundant the valley has known,
barring late frosts and killing freezes.
Many young orchards are coming into
bearing. The season is somewhat ad
vanced. There is less snow in the
mountains than usual at this time.
WHEAT STANDS WINTER WELL
Pros,pect9 for Grain Good in Klicki
tat Valley.
GOLDENDALE, Wash., March 15.
(Special.) The Klickitat Valley crop
of Fall wheat stood the Winter in
good shape and the fears of some
growers that the grain would be dam
aged by the dry freeze last December
proved to be unfounded, for the grain
In its present condition appears to be
as thrifty as any crop ever Beeded hero
and has a good, healthy color. The
records kept by the Government
weather man at Goldendale show that
the precipitation of moisture during
February after the frost went out of
the ground in the grain fields has been
above normal.
The grain on the Blckleton plateau,
which has an altitude of 3000 feet, was
protected by heavy snow which fell
late !n November before the ground
became frozen, and the wheat fields in
Eastern Klickitat have had the bene
fit of the moisture absorbed by the
ground when the snow melted in addi
tion to the rainfall since.
The wheat acreage has not been in
creased to any great extent over last
season.

dry weather during the Winter. In
some places much of the latter vari
eties had to be reseeded, while in
others the condition of the grain seems
to be up to normal. About the only
discouraging feature of the present
conditions is the two-inch deficiency in

Fruit prospects are very bright. The
cold nights which are retarding the

buds back and lessening the danger
from frosts later.
