Only 30 days are left in which to Tegister for the primaries, books closing April 18. In spite of this, the registration is scarce half of what it should be at the close of the primary . registra tion period. By April 18 it should reach 70,000, it is esti mated, but the total yesterday was 85,377.

As it is practically assured that all the school administrative -officers will be re-elected at the special meeting of the Board at 4 o'clock today, the length of term to be given each is the ques tion that is arousing particular in terest. There will be a full attendance at today's meeting, for Dr. Alan Welch Smith, who has been absent for- many weeks because of illness, will appear for the first time. He has almost en tirely recovered from the effects of his recent illness. M. G. Munly. O. M. Flummer, J. V. Beach and S. P. Lock wood, the other members of the Board, also will attend. Reports have been circulated that L. R. Alderman, city superintendent, will receive a five-year term, but mem bers of the Board are said not to con sider such a long contract. It is ex pected that he will be elected for a two year term. Mr. Alderman Believed Well Kitted. Whether the length of tenure of the other administrative offices the two assistant euperintendets and the school clerk will be the same is not known, although it is customary to fix the same term for all. Mr. Alderman has received his educa tion here in Oregon. He completed his third year at McMinnville College, went to the University of Oregon, where he was graduated with a bachelor of arts degree, and taught for two years in Halsey. He then went to McMinnville, where he taught for several year3. after ward becoming the county superin tendent of Yamhill County.

Froir county superintendent he was elected to the posit'on of city super intendent of the Eugene schools and held that position for several years. He then became an associate profes sor in the department of education at the University of Oregon for two years. His election as State Superintendent of Public Instruction occurred in 1910 and he remained in that office until his resignation in 1S13, when-he was elected city super! itendent in Portland. He has been in this position since July 1. 1913. Officers Have Lone Experience. He was elected at first by the Board for a term of one year. " After he had been in office a few months his term was lengthened to two years and last year he was elected by the Board for a third year. Under the 1911 session laws' of Ore gon the School Board has the authority to elect the city superintendent, school cleric and assistant superintendents, fix their terms of service and name their salaries. R. H. Thomas, present school clerk, has been in that office for seven and one-half years. Both C. A. Rice and T. A. Grout, assistant city superintendents, have been in their respective positions for a number of years. Idalio Guard Takes Xew Drill Work. LEWISTON, Idaho, Marco. 17.. (Spe cial.)

A state system of marketing that will afford the farmer a certain outlet for his products was advocated before the . Central Labor Council by Dr. C. H. Chapman in discussing the land and loan measure that the labor unions will propose to the initiative of the voters at the November election. Dr. Chapman pointed out that the present war in Europe Is not a fight for markets and that the world is con stantly engaged whether in war or peace in a contest for markets. The Oregon farmers' position, he said, is pitiable when viewed in the light of marketing possibilities. , W. S. U'Ren also spoke briefly in ex planation of the land and loan measure.
