MULTNOMAH WAITS
flPEHG OF POLLS
City and County Election
Preparations Complete.
VOTE EARLY, IS PLEA
Pinal Rash Before Closing Hoars
Hard on "Workmen; Manf
Forced to Line Cp.
Appointment of election boards has
been completed and all arangements
have been made for tomorrow's elec
tion in Multnomah county, according
to County C!rK Beveridge.
The county cleric and a staff o-t
deputies worked until 10 o'clock Sat
urday night arranging the final de
tails for the election and taking care
of vacancies in the election staff, due
to. declinations of judges and clerks.
There has been difficulty this year in
getting a staff of judges and clerks
and, in cases, it has been found neces
sary to employ persons living in one
precinct, at the polling place of an
other precinct. Some objection has
been raised to this, Mr. Beveridge said,
but it had been found necessary in
order that the election might be taken
care of.
Work Keeps Many Away.
The difficulty this election is partly
attributed to the fact that the ballot
is unusually long arwi that the work
Will consequently be heavy. '.
The polls in the various voting pre
cincts will be open at 8 o'clock in
the morning tomorrow and will close
at 8 o'clock at night.
Voters are urged to cast their bal
lots as early as possible in order to do
away as much as possible with the
final rush' just before closing time.
There are always a certain number
of workmen who must vote after
working hours. This, together with
the fact that many of the voting
places are small, resulted in lines of
fters waiting to cast their ballots as
the clOFing hour drew near even at
the recent primary election. At tomor
row's election there will be even
greater congestion unless more vot
ers go to the polls at an early hour.
Congestion will mean delay for both
day and night boards a9 well as in
convenience for the voters.
Sojourner Can't Tote.
The Oregon law requires that an
elector, to be eligible to vote, must
have been a resident of the state for
eix months preceding the election.
Some sojourners from other states
are under the impression that they
will be able to vote the national
ticket in epite of having recently
oome here. This is not the case, as a
six months' residence is clearly pro
Tided for by the law.
Eligible electors who have not reg
istered may vote by "being sworn
in." In the city of Portland they are
required to have six freeholders
swear to their eligibility to vote. In
the country precincts they are re
quired to have only two.
Precincts Are Changed.
An elector registered in Multnomah
county may vote in a precinct other
than the one in which he Is regis
tered by presenting a certificate of
registration from the county clerk.
An elector who seeks to vote out
aide the county in which be Is regis
tered may do so by presenting a cer
tificate of registration from the clerk
of his home county. He is then per
mitted to vote on national, state and
district nominees and measures; but
not on county or city nominees or
measures.
In writing in candidates' names
County Clerk Beveridge said that ini
tials should also be used. The law
requires that it must be clear to the
judges what the voter meant and, in
cases, there might be some question
if initials were not used. The elec
tion board in each instance must pass
on these cases and if a voter's mean
ing is doubtful the vote is not counted.
X Has Right Place.
In every election many voters do
not put their Xs in the right place.
On national and state candidates and
. all measures the X goes between the
number and the name of the candi
date or the number and the "yes" or
"no," as the case may be. Thus, 86 X
Alderson, V. C, or on Zoning 600 X
Yes. On the city nominees, however,
the voter's mark goes in the squares
following the names, in order to give
the opportunity for voting first, sec
ond or third choice.
On city candidates voters should be
careful to vote only one choice for
any one candidate.
The new "absent voter" provision
means that .County Clerk Beveridge
will have a busy election day. This
act was created by a legislative act
providing that ballots may be ob
tained by college students, traveling
salesmen, army men and government
and state employes legitimately away
from home. These ballots are mailed
back to the county clerk and must
be delivered tomorrow by the county
clerk to the various election boards
in each absent voter's precinct.
150 Vote by Mall.
Already 150 of these have been re
ceived by the county clerk and these
must be delivered in person by him
to election boards scattered all over
the county. Mr. Beveridge said it
would be necessary for him to secure
a machine and map out a route in or
der to deliver the ballots as provided
by law on election day.
Mr. Beveridge estimates that it will
be two days before the counting of
the vote will be complete! in the
county. He estimates that the count
ing can only be done at the rate of
about 12 ballots an hour and that
there will be an average of about 200
ballots cast in each precinct.
He estimates that the vote will be
from 75 to 80 per cent of the regis
tered vote, a high percentage.

FA.IRT TALES of the good old
fashioned kind from the books
which children love and others.
sometimes more fascinating, from the
imaginative brains of the children
themselves, will be shown this winter
on the stage of what Is probably the
smallest "little theater" in thU city.
Children will change the scenery in
this diminutive theater, turn on the
lights and set the tiny actors in mo
tion.
Thirtyon little boys and girls
from 3 to 7 years, enjoyed the first
thrills of being "behind the scenes"
Friday morning at the Standley
school of work and play on Vista
avenue. They had for their theater an
imported model stage, which has just
arrived after an eight months' trip
from Spain. Here they presented two
little plays as part of a special Hall
oween programme.
The tiny stage is complete in every
detail from the beautiful frieze above
the drop curtain to the footlights.
which change by turning on the
switch to any color of the rainbow.
100 Settings in Selection.'
The children have their choice of
nearly 100 settings for scenery and
endless combinations can result from
the little "drops" which depict all
sorts of weather and indoor and out
door scenes In any chosen country in
the world. The settings and the little
actors with their system of clever
manipulation were all ordered, by
William Standley, the director of the
school, from abroad.
Mr. Standley himself installed the
elaborate system' of lighting with
which the stage is equipped. Eight
switches, which the children can eas
ily operate, bring on the vari-colored
lights.
One of the things the children love
best about the theater is the actors,
made of cardboard figures set upon
sticks. The sticks are operated from
the wings by the children and it is
amazing what actions the tiny figures
can accomplish. As Mr. Standley
reads aloud some story, the children
select the characters and make them
go through the proper motions.
Other Children Get Cnance.
The privilege of enjoying this the
ater will not bo confined to the pu
pils of this school, for the stage will
be carried by Mr. Standley to hospi
tals and childrens" homes all over the
city,, especially at the holiday season.
The little children In these homes
will be able to play with the theater
and make the actors express their
ideas just as do the little boys and
girls in the Standley school.
Mr. Standley carried his theater
to the Childrens' home Friday night
and delighted the hearts of the boys

Puppeta Worked By Children.
The puppets were worked by the
children on sticks, and' were raised
above the top of a screen. Charming
fairies, villianous witches and lively
sprites told the story.

"Our force of women workers is
ready to keep on indefinitely so long
as the need for the shop exists," said
Miss Whitney. "They ask that the
home owners of Portland dio not forget

are knitting for us, making stockings
and sweaters which are invariably
sold the day we receive them in the
store. Poor persons literally throng
the store to purchase bargains in
clothes and our market along this
line is tremendous. That is why we
once again issue our appeal to the
general public to call - up the shop.

Twenty-one' thousand dollars was
cleared by the American Red Cross
shop last year from old clothes, bun

and all sorts of odds and ends donated
by Portland people.
The report showing these earnings
was the feature of the recent annual
meeting of the Portland chapter.
"When the Red Cross shop was first
started, we were thrilled at the
thought of gross earnings of $1000 a
month," said Miss Helen Whitney,
secretary of the shop, who for a long
time has been its guiding spirit.

has been passed on by the association
on the basis of "a current report
from Good Samaritan and St. Vincent
hospitals, submitted by authorized
representatives, and in harmony with
the reports from Emanuel and Mult
nomah county hospitals and the Port

able to nurses from other alumnae."
In the mental, obstetrical and con

penses shall be met by the employer."
The association is making these
regulations to conform with other
cities throughout the United States.
Previously, Portland has .had no of
ficial standards.
After January, 1921, hours of duty
for nurses will be 12 hours. This
fixed a standard for payment of
nurses and regulated hours of serv
ice. Nurses will hereafter charge
$7.50 a day for medical and surgical
cases and $8.50 for mental, obstetrical

the last meeting of the association.
EUGENE MEN TESTIFY
Six Who Examined MaUienr Marsh
Say It Is Farm Land.
EUGENE, Or. Oct. 31. (To the Ed
itor.) While on a tour of eastern
Oregon in September of this year we
made a personal investigation of Mal
heur lake, which Mr. Finley seems so
anxious should be ceded to the federal
government. This lake or marsh,
properly defined covers approximate
ly 47,000 acres and belongs to the
state aof Oregon under the swamp
land act.
The waters have been gradually re
ceding for years, untU probably 15,000
to 20,000 acres have been reclaimed
and are now sufficiently above water
line to permit of successful farming.
Numerous settlers are now living on
these reclaimed lands, improving, cul
tivating and actually raising enor
mous crops of hay, grain and other
agricultural products. We saw oats
from five to six feet high that would
yield 100 to 125 bushels an acre grow
ing on these reclaimed lands, and
barley from four to five feet high that
would yield from 60 to 90 bushels an
acre.
The soil Is extremely rich and pro
ductive. The oft-repeated statement
that these lands are so permeated
with alkali as to render them unpro
ductive and valueless is so apparently
false as to cast a reflection on the
honosty and good faith of those back
of this brd reserve bill.
Prom our personal investigationand
knowledge oi the facts, so gained, we
feel we would . be doing our duty
as citizens of this state did we not
at least endeavor to advise the voting
public. Our sincere and earnest con
viction is that the passage of this bill
would be a colossal crime against the
people of this etate, present and fu
ture, and especially against the com
mon school fund, which can be mate
rially increased by a sale of these
lands, to say nothing of the benefits
that will accrue to the local county
by reason of sale and settlement.
