Accept our thanks, Mr. Brown. Attorney General Chamberlain has given an opinion that the bal lots used at the city 'election ' were illegal, for the reason that the bal lots had no stub, and Ltncg were defective in form. With due re spect for Mr. Chamberlain's legal Qpinjon, we would like tQ tall his attention to the following extract from a decision of the Supreme court of Oregqn, handed down last January, in a similar case, the de cision resting upqn the interpreter tion of Section 49 of the general election laws; "The law Is manda.. tory in the sense that it demands and requires the county rlerks. In the preparation of the 'official bal lot to strictly comply with all its provisions, JjUt not in tha sense that a voter's right to exercise its elective franchises will be lost be cause of some technical mistake of the clerk Unless the law is clearly mandatory, or in some way declares the consequences of a de parture from its provisions, the court ought not to defeat the will of the people, when fairly express: ed, because of an error or mistake in the form of the ballot."

Wood, the blind violinist, gave an entertainment at the court house last Tuesday night. His per formance was fairly acceptable, and was attended by a small crowd. He has quite a reputation as a per former upon the violin, but in our opinion we have a violinist right a' home in the person of A. Rosehrook who plays a better class of music than Mr. Wood. Beach Mining. Abput very so often, or perhaps a little oftener, there appears at the beach varjpus and divers persons who make a gallant break at beach mining in the black sand, which is known to be impregnated with flour eold. This periodical out break appears to have been again readied this week, as five mining claims aiii two pre-empted water rights were filed with the county clerk on luesday of this week. The claims are in section 20, 1 1-1 1, and are on South Beach, and were file(l upon by John Robertson, C, II. Piggott, David and Robt. Alex ander and George Wallace, and are all Portland parties. In clue time, we presume, a machine for saving the flour gold will be set up 011 the claims, and after working it a time, it will be laid to rest and its ghost will mingle with those of several other machines of like use. whose bones bleach upon the beach. -- A Benton county paper savs: "If the assets of the defunct bank of Hamilton, Job & Co,, continues to decrease at the rapid rate In which they have since the time thev cloned, they will soon have to make an assessment upon the cred itors to raise enough money to pav the assignee his salary, Junction City Times.

DEALERS IN Hardware, Stoves and Ranges c AMD FAJRM :-: IMPLEMENTS, Orders from Lincoln County solicited and will be Given Prompt Attention, Hard Luck. iiie idea ot culling a spacial ses sion of the legislature to pass a stay law does not seem to meet with much Approval by the poople gen- crolly, It seems to us that Oregon is not in need of a special session to enact any law, but the crying need Is for the repealing of some of the unwise laws passed by the lost legislature. If at least f 500,000 of unexpended appropriation could be stopped, the mortgage tax law placed buck on the statute books and a few other unwise laws repeal ed a special session would be pro ductive of good, but to call the legislature in session to enact more laws Is not necessary or called for.
