The matter of framing the necessary bill has been left to County Judge Trencnata ana ia Srlot Attorney Allen. Of all the oountlea of the state, but two have at present any protection from poaolble recovery of fees collected for the service of recording deeds since USA- Multnomah and Tillamook, hav ing wideawake representatives In the legislature, discovered the dtacrepency In th law and succeeded tn getting special bills through for their own pro tection.

"Freauently people come Into my oflUe with deeds wbUh they wish sent to other counties, and we are un able to give them posltlv Information as to tha fees exacted outside Clstsnp bounty.

Mr. Clinton Is of the opinion that the fee for recording deeda should be 15 centa a folio flat. At present each folio (100 words) Is charge for at the rate of 25 cento, while an additional charge of 10 cents per name Is made for Indexing. The lertlrtcate of record la 28 cents mre.

' Mis Reba Hobson is training a full chorus choir that will render a sacred concert -for th occasion. The offlclala ar exercising every pre caution possible- to prevent the epread of scarlet lever that Is now becoming alarmingly prevalent in this ctty. Strict quarantine 1 being established over an homes affeoted with the malady and a special officer will be appointed to keep tab on the district under surveillonce. The city teachers ore working In har mony with the methods being employed by the regular, officials and with their assistance It la expected to reduce dan ger of the spread In the schools to a minimum. While City Physician Pll klngton ts frequently colled out when there Is really, no cause for special alarm, nevertheless he readily responds so no risks are run that can in any way be avoided. Because he tosk offense at an article published In the current imue of the Chinook Observer, Orrla H. Belknap assaulted Oeorg Hlbbert, editor of th paper, Friday evening in front of th leading store ot th north shore town. Mr. Hlbbert wsm on the point of enter ing the tor when be wa (topped by llelknsp, who grabbed the editor by the arms and In an Infuriated manner demanded who wo th writer of the article In question. Mr. Hlbbert re plied that the Observer wa responsible t"r the article and any and all matter that appeared in th paper. Not being able to Intimidate Mr. Hlbbert. or com pel him to divulge the ouurce of hi information, It I alleged that Belknap oelxed the editor by the throat, at the same time delivering vleious abuse and violently striking out with hi rfcht arm as If he Intended to do bodily harm In this way he worked himself Into a passion and at hurt struck Mr. Herbert a slinging blow on the side of the head that fortunately did not result serious ly. At this point outsiders stepped up snl putlel th txestlant away. Bel knap Is a large, blustering fellow capa ble ot pounding the Observer man Into Jelly In less than no time, Hlbbert Is a man of small stature. - Belknap ha gained no little notoriety tn Chinook on previous occasion. He has dabbled in politic at cross pur pose with the Observer, and all his attempt to dominate and succeed have been signal failures. The Observer op posed him In his attempt to Slsrupt th republican organisation at the last campaign and since then he bos had It tn for the paper. Last spring Belknap got Into trouble with the trapmen by driving a trap between two well known; locations in Baker's bay. Now he ts trying to make Otto Rosendahl and the Standard Box Company agree' to his demands regarding rafting and the con struct Ion and operation of a boom on Bear river, or to compel them to shut down business. Mr. Rosendaht and the box company ore standing pat on the demands and thexharges for dam age done to a dyke, deeming them ex horbant and unjust. Reference to the latter cose is what Infuriated Belknap and Induced him to assault the editor of the Oberaerver, though It does not appear that th article gave anything but a general statement of facts. THE COST WILL BE NOMINAL Special Election Will Entail an Outlay or About $725. The cost of the special election to be held In Clatsop December 14 will not be nearly so great as was at first expected County Clerk Clinton yesterday com plied an1 estimate of the probable expen ses, which to shown to be )725, as fol lows: Judges and clerks 1168 00 Messengers 4$ 00 Erecting booths, etc. 18 00 Expressage ..' 11 00 Delivering supplies, etc. 18 00 Canvassing return I 00 Supplies, ticket printing ....... 125 00 Total 1725 00 The estimate is based on the cost of other elections. Because of the tact that there will be no registration for the special election, the cost will be much less. VOTE WILL BE QUITE HEAVY Registrations - Indicate That 1200 Will Be Cast.
