If a general bill 1 offered at the
forthcoming legtnlature providing foes
for recording deeds In the several coun
tlM.C'IMwip's delegation will not pre
nt a hutaaure. If. however, no en-
era! bill Is. framed, the local legisla
tor will take sups to protect tne in
terests of this county. 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. Similar axtlon will be taken
by Clatsop's delegation at tha special
semlon In the event that no general
OiesMure la offered. ,
"I hope that a general bill Oslny uni
form feva In all the t counties of the
state, will be paused st the special oes-
slon," said County Clerk Clinton yes
terday. "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. It eema to me the law should
be a gfneral one, for thla would aave
much annoyance and Inconvenience,
and, nbove 0,11, stop the constant com
plaint that Is registered with the re
cording clerk.
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. The average Instrument con
tains 400 words and the cost la $t.45.

The offlclala ar exercising every pre
caution possible- to prevent the epread

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.
