BT FRANK S. GRANT. CITY ATTORNEY. In the coming city election the legal voters will exercise for the first time In this state, the preferential system of voting. The charter provides that an elector shall have the right of exercis ing a preference of candidates. That Is, he may indicate his first, second and third choices. The voter is limited to one choice for any candidate. Should he vote more than one choice for any candidate, the vote highest in grade -shall be counted and the others re jected. The candidate receiving; a majority of first-choice votes for any office shall be elected. If. however, the full number of candidates to be elected does not receive a majority of first choice votes, then, the second-choice votes are added to the first-choice votes and any candidate who. by reason of such addition, receives a majority vote shall be elected. If. however, by a count of their first choice or of first and second choices, no majority is re ceived, then the third-choice votes are added to the first and second and the candidate receiving the majority will be declared elected. If by the count of either first-choice - votes or of first and secona-onoice votes, more candidates than there are offices to be filled, receive a majority, the candidate or candidates equal In number to the number of ofifces to be filled having- the highest vote shall .be declared elected. Tie Fsivors First Choice. In case of a tie. it is decided In favor of the one having the highest number of first-choice votes. If they should be equal In this respect, then the highest number of second-choice votes will determine the election. Then. If this should not be decisive, the choice shall be determined by lot. The act defines the word "majority" to mean the smallest number jn excess of one-half of the quotient obtained by dividing the total number of first choice votes for any office by the number of officers to be elected thereto. "Each voter has a right to vote for as many first-choice candidates as there are offices to be filled, and has the further right to vote for as many sec ond and thlrd-cboice candidates as there are offices to be filled and In order that the voter should have the full participation In the election, he should exercise his first, second and third choices. In the city of Spokane a total vote of 12.06S was cast. One candidate for Commissioner received a majority of the first-choice votes. The other four candidates were elected by adding first, second and third-choice votes. Such vote was ss follows: First Second Third eholre ennlce choice Total Robert ralrieV 12;T7 192 04. 10.01B 2arm E Havden.... 4..260 2400 734 T.3V4 tv. J. Hind ley ...... 7. SIS LiS rmrfd C. Coatee .

S.S64 lelS 29 802 4u9 9.SH6 7.325 8.548 The vote at Spokane showed that the position of the candidate's name on the ballot was of no particular advantage, as Mr. Coates was No. II on the list. Mr. Falrley No. 22. Mr. Fassett No. 23, Mr. Harden No. 37 and Mr. Hlndley No. as. clearly indicating that the voter was expressing his preference by rea son of personality, rather than the po sition on the ballot Voters Are Instructed. Under the Portland Chsrter. if sny voter shall vote for more than one rliAini for any one candidate. the highest grade vote shall be counted and the others rejected. In other words, a voter must not make more than one choice for any one can didate. If he does, then the highest in grade will be counted and the others rejected. To illustrate, a voter makes a mark in the first, second and third choice columns for one candidate. In that case only the first choice vote will be counted. If a ballot should contain either first. second or third choice votes in excess of the number of offices to be filled, no vote In the column showing such excess shall be counted. To Illustrate: There are four Commissioners to be elected. A voter can only mark the first choice column for four Commissioners. If ne should mark in such column five or six, then all of the candidates in that col umn would lose that vote. So it Is In cumbent upon the voter to be very careful in marking his ballot In this respect. The Spokane charter provides that a voter must exercise his first choice vote for all of the offices to be filled and that if be does not do so, the bal lot is void, but It Is optional with him. however, to vote the second or third choices. Pertland Ckarter Differs. The Portland Charter differs some what In this respect and provides that the voter shall have the right to vote for as many first choice candidates .as there are offices to be filled, but does not seem to make it compulsory upon him to cast the first choice vote for four candidates for Commissioner. The success of this system of voting depends entirely upon whether or not very person entitled to vote exercises that privilege. No government rises higher than Its source, namely, the peo ple, and If the commission form of gov ernment Is to he a success in the city of Portland, it Is the solemn duty ol every legal voter to participate in the lection. June I. The success will not be wholly dependent upon the officer! elected, but rather upon the voters 'n choosing men who are capable of ad ministering the affairs of the city un der the new form of government. The following are the provisions of the new commission charter relative to the preferential system of voting: Section 22a. Ballots, preparation and tfrta: The Auditor shall cause ballots for general and special elections to be pre pared, printed and authenticated. The ballots shall contain a complete list of the offices to be filled and the n ami's of tht candidates nominated therefor.

The form of the ballot shall be substantially as fol lows: GENERAL (OR SPECIAL) MrNICIPALi ELECTION. C1TT OF PORTLAND. (Inserting date thereof.)

ODDFELLOWS OF MULTXOMAH COUNTY HAVE JOINT MEET. Delegates En Route to Sledford Ses sion Attend Programme and See Degree Work Interpreted. With the idea of bringing the mem bership of the Oddfellow lodges of Portland and Multnomah. County into more intimate touch, a joint meeting was held at the Masonic Temple Friday night, and was attended by about 1300 members, with visitors from many out side towns who were on their way to the grand lodge meeting at Medford, May 20. A Joint committee, consisting of representatives from local lodges, had charge of the programme. Many of the Multnomah, County lodges came in a body. The 'meeting was opened with the officers of Hassalo Lodge No. 15 In the chairs. The team from Woodlawn Lodge No. 171 Interpreted the first degree to 72 Initiates who bad come from the different lodges. The second, degree was conferred on 76 candidates by the team from Hassalo Lodge No. 16. Both teams were generously com plimented on their work. Among the present and past grand lodge officers were: W. A. Wheeler, grand master; E. E. Sharon, grand sec retary, of Portland; O. D. Doane, grand treasurer, of The Dalles; D. S. Young, grand guardian, of Newport; past grand masters, William Morton, Phil Metschan, Sr, W. A. Carter, Robert Andrews and B. E. Crawsbaw, of Portland; R. Alex ander, of Pendleton; Ed Hostetler, of The Dalles; J. T. Apperson, of Oregon City, and A. W. Bowersox, of Albany; past grand patriarchs, P. W. Stewart, H. M. Beckwlth and O. P. Miller, of Port land; John M. Williams, of Eugene; past grand representative, S. W. Stryker, of Portland; grand sentinel, S. S. Walker, of Oregon City, all of whom occupied seats on the platform. Past Grand Master W. O. Lynn was chairman of the joint committee, which made all the arrangements. Rivalry Between Snips Keen and Wager Made Against Arrival Be fore 1 o'clock Is Paid on Misunderstood Message. Not since the Winter of 189S. when the steamer Stats of California established the old fleet's speed record of 47 hours and 50 minutes and reached Portland at 9:50 o'clock in the morning, had any of the San Francisco & Port land vessels reported here before noon until the steamer Bear, "Bulldog" of the line, gilded past the Portland Flouring Mills Company's dock at 11:32 o'clock yesterday morning and thereby a new mark was offered for her sister ship, the Beaver. The Bear left Meiggs wharf, San Francisco, at 1:31 P. M. Thursday and crossed into the river yesterday so as to discharge 50 tons of cargo at Astoria and be on her way here at 4:52 A. M. On the last voyage of the Beaver she covered the distance in 43 hours and 58 minutes, and reached the flour mills at 12:36 P. XL, so while she has the northbound record for speed, the Bear holds the broom for being here earliest. Those who know the two vessels aver that should they be steamed over the same course, side by side, there would be no difference in their position. Between the officers and crews the keenest rivalry exists, with the Beaver holding first place between San Francisco and Portland, also for bringing north the largest cargo and the Bear holding the speed record from Portland to San Francisco in addition to the honor gained yesterday. Wager Furnishes Amusement. Before the departure of the Beaver, shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing for the south, a bet was made of $5 that the Bear would not be at the dock before 1 o'clock. It was not known then that she had reached the river. A message received later was that she would arrive at 11:30 and this was taken to mean that she had been de layed on the Coast and would be across the bar by then. So the bet was paid, First Officer Parker, of the Beaver, ac. ceptlng the $5 from Peter Smith, su perintending stevedore for the com pany. Hardly had the Beaver got under way for Astoria when news was flashed to the company's office that the Bear had left un at 4:62 o'clock. Officers of the ship were unquestionably stag e-ered when they rounded a bend In the river at 10:10 o'clock, a few miles below the mouth of the Willamette. and discerned their rival steaming ahead with a "bone in her teeth" that spelled a record. Aerogram Brings Cnagrln. Aboard the Bear was A. Ottlnger, general agent of the company, and he added to the chagrin of the Beaver's crew In sending an aerogram that the early arrival record had been won. The Bear brought ZSS passengers, among them being intermingled students from Stanford and Berkeley, returning horr-i for the Summer holidays. On the way they contributed to the gayety or the voyage and as a table for each uni versity was set aside in tne saioon, there were "rah rah" sessions at each meal on the war fir)m the uoKien uate a strong northwest wind was one of the obstacles, also a mree-nnot cur rent, while fog was contended with for a few hours after she sailed. In the Columbia the freshet carried a cur rent that served to retard tne snip, otherwise It Is estimated that she would have been here at 11 o'clock. STEAMSHIP LINE IS URGED Captain Chllcott Explains Xeed of Direct Service to New York. A project declared of extreme im portance to Portland is the organiza tion of a steamship line between Port land and New York. Plans of the pro posed enterprise were explained In de tail by Captain Richard Chllcott at the regular weekly meeting of the Portland Realty Board Friday. Captain Chllcott said that It was pos sible to build three ships at a combined cost of $600,000 and that a fleet of five large vessels could be built for approx imately $1,000,000. It Is his opinion that such, a lino of steamers would pay substantial returns on the Investment. He declared that until Portland oper ated a domestio line of Its own, this city could never expect to compete with other Pacific Coast cities as a shipping center. He pointed out how Portland is being discriminated against by Opast lines now in operation. Following his address it was voted to lnvestieate the project further. -A committee of five members will be ap pointed by President Vincent to confer with Captain Chllcott and other or ganizations in the city In regard to the proposed llnfc ' NEW DIVISION" IS OX BOSTON Xaval Militia Increasing Strength In Advance of Maneuvers. Physical examinations given appli cants for enlistment in a new division of the Oregon Naval Militia, that will be installed aboard the cruiser Boston, has resulted In 30 being accepted and aa manv more are expected to pass dur ing the week, so that soon after June 1 a division of 75 will be mustered Into the service. It has been arranged that an officer of the organization will ba on the ship each evening, until the muster takes place, to advise appli cants. Men between 18 and 30 years of ago are eligible and it will be the last op portunity for new material to enter the militia in advance of the annual cruise, which is to ba held in July. The pres ent first and second divisions on the Boston are to be consolidated Into the first division, and a few men will- be assigned to the new second division as a nucleus for new recruits. Work of repainting the Boston has begun and she will have a complete new dress when the Rose Festival Is opened. SITHON1A OX FIRST VOYAGE Portland loner Loads Cargo for Orient Valued at $211,56 7. Portland's contribution to the first cargo from Pacific Coast ports . to ba carried by the Hamburg - American liner Slthonla represents a valuation of $211,567. The vessel was cleared yes terday and at midnight left for her long voyage by way of Puget Sound, to the Far East and Hamburg. She is to cross out to sea at 10 o'clock this morning and may leave Seattle Tuesday. In the way of flour sno carried 47, 882 barrels, worth $189,128, and lumber aboard measured 402,448 feet, valued at L'.3rt.w,.V2J.. t.J" . . - -v-Kt ; w 5,-.- i- ' f " i irt $iS76. There was a consignment of 50 green salted hides and another lot of 1500 bundles of hides for- xokohama; also a case of books and two lots of lumber. The remainder of the lumber, 65,892 feet, goes to Kobe; also 6500 pounds of rolled oats. There are 125 barrels of flour for Shanghai. 1875 bar rels for Mojl, 1000 barrels for Manila, and the rest of the breadstuff is con signed to Hongkong. At Seattle she will take on 600 tons of flour for Hong kong. 250.000 feet of lumber for Yoko hama and 600 tons of potatoes for Manila. EXPLOSIVES XOT TO BE SENT Government Charters Fleet for Transportation of Coal. In connection with the taking of a fleet of 12 tramp steamers by the Fed eral Government to load coal at Nor folk for the Pacific Naval stations, it Is denied that the fleet will have to do with the transportation of explosives to the Hawaiian group, Mare Island and Bremerton. It Is said stocks of coal are Insufficient to supply vessels should the Pacific fleet be enlarged, bo there will be heavy shipments this season. The nractice of using Atlantic Coast coal may be done away with in the event tests of Alaskan coal are up to standard. As the cruiser Maryland Is to continue the use of Northwest fuel this year and will cruise again to aIsrVr. uteris may be taKen soon mat will eliminate the engagement of col liers on the East coast to supply fa- clfic stations.

The Quarterly report of the Munici pal Department of Public Safety for Tountr Women, which has been sub mitted to Chief Siover, contains facts and figures well worth reading," said Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent, yesterday. "The definite aim and pur pose of this worn is tne protection oi girlhood and the prevention of crime against women. It would be well for parents to read this report thought fully, and to inquire what measure of responsibility rests upon them for the conditions set forth. "During the last quarter lbs new a-irls were dealt with in this depart ment. 170 special Investigations made and 734 interviews held with parents or others Interested in the cases of girls; 316 letters sent out, 39 girls placed on the after-care list and four paroled; there were 13 runaways, and 27 sick girls were cared for. There were 143 meals provided and 74 nighfs lodgings furnished to unemployed or needy girls. "The report to tho Chief says that Immorality between girls and motor cycle riders has assumed alarming pro portions. Within a weea six moior cvrla counles have been apprehended and the cases, which contain shocking details, have been taken into court. Something ought to e done. Automo biles are bad, but motorcycles are in finitely worse. "Chief Siover is considering placing officers at the bridges and in other places to Intercept motorcycles which carry young girls into the country at nio-ht. Thev will be Questioned and re quired to give their names to the of ficer. This plan was xoiiowea wu good success with automobiles and broke up much of the night riding. "The Department of Public Safety feels that parents especially, as well as the girls themselves. should be warned, as motorcycle riding is rapidly upon the increase. Three girls under 17 years of age have been ruined in one day from this cause, and it is high time that some action be taken."
