' The laws of the atate of Oregon al low aJUna mora privileges, under certain . conditions, than they do native burit Americana. .A study of the statute re lating to naturalisation has convinced ; . the deputies la the county clerk's office , : . that it la framed on a wrong principle , and that the error should be corrected at ' . v the next legislative session. V-'JBy declaring- his Intention to bcome , cltisen, and securing his first pspers a r prior to the date of any election, t an alien may vote. H vair continue i voting at subsequent elections on his ' first papers, without ever taking out Ills A . atcond papers and becoming- a cltisen. While allowed to vote, he is exempted v from Jury duty and military service i ' until he rba)l see fit to taae out nis t , , second papers. A man born on the soil i '" has no mora privileges than an alien 1 who has declared his intj itlon a year i jiricr .to the date of an election, and S furthermore Is subject to Jury duty and f military service. The belief expressed 1 la that such' discrimination is not only ; a-iank" injustice but lha: In practice i It brings harmful results. . In this connection attention Is drawn ). ; to the case t-f William Irtiedncr. .1 fire l commissioner. Tlledner. it Is said, has. " 1-t-ld a number of important official po- alt iocs and occupies ore now. Yet he . , has never taken cut his second papers. and does not have to serve on a Jury, nor would bo bo subject to military ser vlr ; in -,tm vrmt -of war. I , .- .

"In all elections not otherwise pro j vvlded for by this constitution, every ! , white mala -citisen of the United States, I of the are of 21 years and upwards, who I : shall have resided M the state during the six months Immediately preceding such election ?. and every white mala of ----- foreign birth of the are of 11 year and upwards, who shall nave resided in. this -. atate during the six months Immediately preceding- such election and shall have declared his intention' lo Become a cm , sen of the United States one. year pre . ? ceding such election, conformable to the laws of ths united States on the sub Ject of naturalisation, shall be 'entitled to vote at all elections authorised ty . law." . ' The law governing Jury duty la eon- talned.

All the rail and Ban FrancUco freight will be discharged at' the Aiblna dock, after which the steamer will move to the west side -of the river, where -the goods consigned to Portland merchants will be unloaded. There are mora than 1,000 tons to be distributed locally.
