Fair Sex of Camas to Try to

WORDING OF LAW IS CITED

Proclamation, but Hold That
Amendment Is Effective Ite
gardlcss of Proclamation.
VANCOUVER. Trash- Dec I. ( Spe
cial. Women of Camas will attempt
to rot at the coming municipal slee
ttoa despite ths decision of the Attor
ney-Qeneral that only women regis
tered subsequent to the Governor's
proclamation on suffrage shall be en
titled to the ballot. They hold this Is
but a move to debar them from their
rights. Inasmuch as the registration
books had already closed at the time
the proclamation was Issued. It is the
wording of the constitutional amend
ment on which the women base thslr
right to rot and they demand a more
authoritative decision than that of th
Attorney-General.
Two Councllmen. a Mayor and Treas
urer are to be elected. arC as the com
ing Council will have rhe power to
license saloons the last election th
wets won the Interest Is Intense as to
the outcome. When the women learned
that woman suffrage had carried In
the state, they at once began to reg
ister, and K took occasion to assert
Uilr rights.
Th law reads substantially that
when a majority of votes have been
rest In favor of woman suffrage the
law shall become operative, and th
t'lorprnor shall Issue a proclamation so
stating. It Is held that owing to the
peculiar wording of th statute. It waa
Intended that women should rote Just
as soon as the election carried.
Th statut does not say that th
women shall rot after th Governor
Issues a proclamation, aay th women,
but that when the required rote Is
east th Governor shall Issue th proc
lamation. Thus. It Is held. It was legal
for women to register to rot th day
It was learned that a majority of rotes
In th state bad been cast In favor of
soman suffrage.
In Vancouver no woman haa yet reg
istered, although they had a chance
to register for th municipal election

toon will not be able to rot at Tues
day's local option election, though th
-drvs" and "wets- there have been do
ing most of their campaigning among
th women. Attorney-General Bell haa
forwarded a ruling to th effect that
th publishing of th Governor's fran
chiso proclamstlon on November 23
made It within th 10-day period pre
ceding such an election when th reg
istration books must be closed. The
women not being able to register
therefor cannot vote.

Reports that Frank W. Benson is to

,rnn, ami Rerretarv of Stato are belntf
persistently renewed despite th denials
of Mr. Benson .that he has any present
Intention of resigning. At the same time
there lx much discussion of the selection
of his successor In the event of his resig
nation.
While some interesting legal potnta ara
Involved In th matter of choosing a suc
cessor to Mr. Benson la the event ha
should, on account of 111 health, give up
hi place. It Is urged by lawyers who
have gon carefully Into the subject
that the appointment of a successor
could be made legally by Acting Gov
ernor Bowerman, provided the resigna
tion occur previous to the convening of
the Legislature, early in January.
The various officers who nil eta te elec
tive positions take up their duties Jan
uary 3, the Governor alone excepted. He
doe not eep into power until the con
vening of th Legislature the second
Monday of January. Therefore, it 1
pointed out, the resignation of the Sec
retary of State and acting Governor
would make th President of the Stat
Henrt Governor in fart, and as such
he would hav th filling of any ap
pointive offices under the administration
an well as vacancies existing in elec
tive offices.
The point Is raised In some quarters
that th new Secretary of State, should
on be selected, would be Governor, but
tlie consensus of legal opinion Is that
the resignation of the Secretary of Stae
and acting Governor would serve to In
stall th President of the Sanate as the
resl Governor snd that he would hold
precedence aa such until such time as
a duly-elected successor should qualify.
In the event of a vacancy occurring
previous to January 1. appointment
would have to be made for the unexpired
term and reappointment made January 1.
Under the law. however, such appoint
ments hold good only until the next
genera election, or two yean hence.

Cost of Delivering: Material to Rail
roads Increases Yearly Over
supply of Lumber.
Practically all the logging camps of the
Lower Columbia River district will close
for the Winter December 15, according to
reports received at the meeting of the
Columbia River Loggers' Association, yes
terday afternoon, in the Chamber of Com
merce building.
It was announced that a large percent
age of the camps would remain closed
until about March 1. unless better prices
obtained before that time. Prices are
still Arm, however, as the loggers have
refused to supply material to lumber
men at other prices than have prevailed
the past few months. First grade logs
are quoted at 213 per thousand feet, sec
ond grade at 210 and third grade at 27.
H. C. Clair, president of the associa
tion, said that the logging situation had
undergone a change the past year or two
and conditions were now such that it is
found Impracticable to supply logs at
less prices than are asked at the present
time. He said that tne camps Keep
working back gradually from the rail
roads as the supply of timber Is used
up. and consequently the cost of deliver
ing logs to market points has Increased
proportionately.
In reference to the lumber situation. It
was declared that the mills were turning
out a larger production than the market
could take care of. As a result, there Is
an over-supply. Until the finished prod
uct Is disposed of to a large extent, the
loggers say the lumbermen cannot ex
pect much of an advance in lumber
prices.
