Oregrons registration for the seneral election next November will be between 325,000 and 350,000. based upon the rela tive increase in registration shown this year prior to the primaries as com pared with two years ago. When the boks closed in the 35 counties of the state April 18, the total registration was 241.482, an increase lof 11,881 over the primary registra tion in 1914. Prior to the general elec tion in 1914 the registration was 305,- 00. From the time the registration books fpened, January 4, last, until they tiosea. April is, the registrauon de partment in the office of the Secre tary of State has been encaged in mak ing a permanent record of each of tha 41,482 voters, for the purpose of mail ing out election pamphlets and for fu- l ure use and reference. "While the vriting of the list for mailing out candidates election pamphlets to the 161,819 regi-stered Republican voters for the primary election is incomplete, the department is yet busy compiling the list for the permanent record. This work will not be completed for some time yet. Work Ik Increased.

Trekking to Washington to Get Senator Harry's Scalp, Admits He Might Be Tempted Into Senatorial Race Himself; Anyway, He'd Like to Curb the Honorable Frank Election Officials Attend Another Session of County Clerk's School of Instruction Other Political News. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, May 10. C. S. Jack son, of Portland, who arrived In Washington last night, is beginning a campaign to get the scalp of Senator Harry Lane and to discredit Lane with the Administration, and, incidentally, la letting it be known that he himself may become a candidate for Senator two years hence. For the present, how ever, he will be content if he is recog nized as the Administration leader in Oregon. Mr. Jackson had not been in Wash ington three hours before he rounded up a party of Administration leaders and escorted them to a convenient cafe, where after several rounds of refresh ments no longer served in Oregon, he unbosomed himself and laid bare his plans. Unfortunately for himself, Mr. Jackson talked in tones that were eas ily overheard by persons who were strangers to him. While the first rounds were being served Mr. Jackson was lauded for his noble work in sup- j port of the Administration and quickly responded when given the opportunity. "Oregon." said he, "is normally a Re publican state we have seven Repub licans to every Democrat. Only by nominating a strong man with a large personal following can we hope to carry a Senatorial election." "We must get rid of Harry Lane," he continued. "In the first place, he can't be re-elected if he is renominated. But more than that, he is not friendly with the Administration. He has voted against numerous Administration meas' ures and has broken with his colleague. If we are to replace Lane with a Dem ocrat, we must pick a staunch Wilaon man, who is stronger than his party in Oregon." It was cautiously suggested to Mr. Jackson by one of the party that he probably had as large a following as any Democrat in Oregon and he ad mitted the soft impeachment. While he did not declare himself positively a candidate for the Senatorship he clear ly let it be known that he had the matter in mind and might be tempted. His chief concern, however, was to win recognition from the Administra tion. Something he felt he was en titled to for his suppirt of the Presi dent and he impressed upon the leaders gathered round the table that he wanted to go away from Washington with assurance that the Administra tion would recognize him in Oregon affairs hereafter. In other words, if he decides not to seek the Senatorship for himself he wants to name the' man to run against Lane, Furthermore, he is desirous, so it appeared from his talk, of heading off the Honorable Frank S. Myers, who now aspires to become the Democratic boss of Oregon. His chief objection to Myers is that he is a Lana man and not sufficiently loyal to the Adminis tration. Aside from these personal requests. Mr. Jackson let it be known that Joseph N. Teal, of Oregon, must be named as a member of the shipping board created by the ship purchase bill, which has not yet passed Congress. The Pa cific Coast, he said, was entitled to one member of that board, and Teal must be the man named. Mr. Jackson has shown himself in public very little since his arrival in Washington, and preferred that no mention of his presence be made in the newspapers. In Local Political Fields. Another session of County Clerk Cof fey's school for election officials was held in room 206 of the Courthouse last night. Several hundred judges and clerks of election precincts 91 to 180 inclusive attended. They were ad dressed by Mr. Coffey, who explained their duties under the law as election officials. Judges and clerks of precincts 181 to 265 inclusive will meet in the same room at 7:30 o'clock tonight to be in structed. Officials of the remaining precincts in the county will attend the final session of the school on Satur day. Here it is. just exactly one week to a day from the primary election, which takes place next Friday, May 19, and many of the candidates haven't even got started yet. The remaining six w-orking days of the campaign will be busy ones all around. D. C. Lewis, Plowden Stott and K. K. Kubli. candidates for Representative; Conrad P. Olson, Gus C. Moser and A. W. Orton. candidates for State Sena tor, and Dr. F. H. Dammasch, candidate for . re-election as Coroner, slipped something over on rival candidates last night, when they went to Linnton early in the evening. They were met by J. B. Schaefer, former postmaster and Mayor, and introduced to merchants of the suburb, following which there was a brief street meeting. Another meeting was held at Whitwood Court, just this side of Linnton. About 9 o'clock hordes of other candidates, who had heard disquieting, rumors of a coup d'etat of some kind, began to pour into Linnton from all directions. By the time 25 of them had assembled without being able to find any meeting they began to smell a rat. The session broke up without any speeches. Commissioner Lightner told the Port land Retail Druggists' Association, at the luncheon it gave to candidates Wednesday at the Chamber of com merce, that he had ridden into Port land 42 years ago on a horse, and had been a resident ever since. But he did not tell all of the story about the old steed that brought him all the way here from Montana. The animal was his one friend and com panion, and also the basis of the Com missioner's success. So strong was Mr. Lightner's affection for the horse that when the animal grew old and Incapacitated, it was retired for life into pasture and stable on ample ra tions until death. Its last days were like those of the old patriarch full of leisure and happy complacency. Rev. C. E.

LINES TO ALASKA -AND ORIENT BACKED Traffic Men Also Determine to Make Effort for Fair. Rates to Portland. DANGERS ARE FORESEEN Mr. Ton! Points Out Sequel That Is Possible to Spokane Case and Losses That Slay Arise if Uecision Is rnfavorable. A direct rail line to North Yakima. steamship service to Alaska and the Orient, a renewed effort to maintain Portland's prestige as a commercial and distributing center and determined action in presenting Portland's claims for equitable rates by rail and water. These are some of the policies out lined by the newly-created Portland Traffic and Transportation Associa tion at Its first meeting in Its offices In the Spalding building yesterday. Colncldentally. the organization lis tened to a report from J. N. Teal, its counsel, on the recent hearing before the Interstate .Commerce Commission at Washington of the inter-mountain rate cases, which have been reopened on petition of shippers In Spokane. Nevada and other inter-mountain terri tory. 11 la latereata Oppose Portlaad. Mr. Teal was emphatic in his declara tion that the new inter-mountaln case is fraught wtih serious possibilities for Portland. He told that powerful In terests are back of the inter-mountain cities In their present fight and that not the least of these are the steam ship companies. "The steamship lines." he said, "were quite frank, if not to say bold, in pre senting their case. They plainly told the commission that they are inter ested in having. the carriers maintain the maximum rates to the Pacific Coa.t terminals, so that when they start their service again If they do start, and they always qualify their declarations in this particular with an "if they will be forced to cut their own rates to meet this rail competition. Llnea Give No Promise of Service. "Mind jou, these lines are maintain ing no service between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts at all now, and don't even promise any at any definite time even when the canal is open. "If. as the Spokane Interests contend. there is no water competition between the Atlantic and Pacific Coast, and the Commission so finds, then it is ex tremely difficult to see what Justifica tion in law or in fact there is for maintaining any terminal rates what ever," he said. "When this point is reached, will not the logical result be rates on a mileage basis, and the further distant point charged higher rates than intermediate points? I refer to this as a condition that we will likely have to face if the petition of the Spokane shippers is granted." Rate Forced by AVater Route. Under existing rate structures the railroads are permitted to charge a higher rate from the Middle West and East to Spokane than from the same territory to Portland and other Pacific Coast terminals. ' This provision is granted to meet water Competition. A few months ago the shipping bu reaus of Spokane and other inter-mountain cities appealed to the Commission to cancel the orders allowing the rail roads this privilege and to require them to charge the same rate to the ter minals as to Spokane, on the ground that the Panama Canal and the Euro pean warhave removed the ocean-to-ocean steamships from service and that water competition does not, in effect, exist. On hearing Mr. Teal's report on the hearing, the association yesterday de termined to take vigorous action to protect Portland's interests. Youaic Shippers May Organise. It is probable that within the near future a committee of "young ship pers," composed of some of the junior members of the firms comprising the association will be formed to handle some of the rate problems and other tramsportaton problems affecting the commercial welfare of the city. This action was tentatively agreed on yes terday. Co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce in encouraging construction of a railroad line to North Yakima also was indorsed and a committee for that purpose soon will be appointed. The association met with disfavor the report that the railroads are fail ing to handle a single shipment of war munitions through Portland. MICTION MOVE LOST FORD fOMPAXVS ACTION AGAINST AGENT DISMISSED. ' rset of Consla-ament Declared Ac tual Sale and Power to Set PTlce Is Questioned. On the ground that the so-called con tract of consignment entered Into by the Ford Motor Car Company with its agents is in reality a contract of sale. Circuit Judge Gantenbeln yesterday dis solved the injunction obtained against the Benj.'A. Boone Company. The only relief of the Ford Company from the sale of its cars at cut prices is in a damage suit, said the jurist. Agents of thj company pay the Ford Mott r Car Company t5 per cent of the sale price on consignment This is called by the Ford people an advancement on the sae price, but as it is all that Is ever paid to the company Judire Gantenbeln held that it was not legally an .dvancement. but represented an actual sale, after which the agent could sell the machines for whatever price pleased him. Toe Boone Company has been selling Ford automobiles at 5 per cent less than list prices and it was to stop this practice that the manufacturer began tne Injunction proceeding. The right of a manufacturer to say at what price his products were to be sold at retl was involved in the question, and so far as the local court is concerned, once the article is sold to a retailer, the manufacturer has 'nothing more to sav. This is In line with the decision of "the United States Supreme Court in the John B. Stetson Hat Company case. Coast Guard Is Injured. BAR VIEW. Or.. May 11. (Special.)
