To test the validity of a special city elec tion held several months ago defeat of which might result In the State Asylum for the Insane and the State Penitentiary being considered outside of the city limits. Attorney w. r. i.ora, Jr.. has In the Circuit Court a case which Involves the right of state em ployes to vote at certain elections and to determine whether the annexation of certain districts Is legal. Prior to the Inst census a special election was held for the purpose of taking the asylum and penitentiary and contiguous districts Into the city in order to swell the sum total of the population by 3000 people. Attorney Lord sets up the conten tion that every voter In the district to be annexed who voted In favor of the annexation was a state employe working at the asylum. He Is appearing for N. Day. who Is bringing the suit to set aside the validity of a street assessment. In case the contention of Attorney Lord proves to have foundation It will re lieve certain property owners of this assessment and at the same time will result in the city limits not Includ ing the two state Institutions. At the election for bringing the In stitutions within the limits of the city there were 43 votes cast and nine of these were opposed to It, these 43 votes beiag only those In the district affected outside of the city limits. At the asylum there are more than 2000 persons and at the State Penitentiary, including employes, practically 600 per sons. All of these, whether citizens or not. are counted In the census as residents of Salem, no matter from what part of the state or county they might have come.

He has unlimited faith in the resources of the country through which the pro posed road will pass. The route lies in a general northeast erly direction from Vancouver, and will cross the Cascades at the most con venient pass.

It was merely attached to the petition of the widow, Jennie E. Ache son, for appointment as administratrix, to show his desire that she administer upon the estate. The will reads as follows: "I here by give, devise and bequeath .to my beloved wife, Jennie E.

COMMISSION IS REVIVED Salem Residents Plan to Snbmit Amendment Despite Defeat, SALEM. Or., Oct. 28. (Special.) Further plnns for amendments to the city charter, which will take on the aspect of a commission form of gov ernment, for Salem are being made, though members of the charter com mission, after the defeat given to the plan at the recent election, declared that It would probably be several years before the city again-took up the ques tion of a commission form of govern ment. Mayor Lachmund Is formulating plans, which may take the shape of amend ments to be vofcd on at the regular city election in December. Tentatively these would provide for a separation of the legislative and executive depart ments of the city, which was not con templated under the charter as defeat ed. Under that charter the legislative, judicial and executive were all under one head. Under the proposed amendments the executive would remain with the pos sibility of appointing the Chief of Police and perhaps the City Recorder. Other commissioners would be named to have charge of the legislative functions. Under this plan It is con tended there would be a check on the legislative business plan of the com mission form of government. Mayor Lachmund will probably announce these amendments definitely in V'e next few weeks. 'Archibald Kyle Dies at Albany. ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 28. (Special.)
