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."

joyable trip canoeing up and down
the river, and lots of fun and fish
while they were out.
J. M. 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

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

t - 1
Bro. Times, give a m.?.f "LreTlir for
what he does say. It would seem
like it would be very far from any
of the lleuton county papers to say
anything of the kind. In fact they
say noiiung in as loud a voice as
possible, The crying need of Ben
ton county just now seems to he a
paper that will say something.

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.
