Tho election will cost the city fully 1 11.000. An attempt Is being made to locate tho booths as near as possible to the -old polling pieces. Two sets of ballot boxes are necea 'sary, one for the primary and another ifor the general election. - After the ballots are counted. at the" primaries they are replaced In the boxes by the judges; , tbe boxes are then eealed and are not opened until after the general election. Becauee of this provision the -city has : been put to the expense of purchasing 120 new ballot boxes, iwo tor eaca pre el net. . . Many candidates are finding much dif ficulty In complying with the provisions pf the law. They, cannot understand the - tilfTerence between the notice or inten tlua or a declaration to become a eandl date, which has to be filed with the city auditor first, and the petition, which lias to be circulated in their behalf among the voters.' In case of a candidate for any general office, suchraa mayor, city auditor or councilman at large, bis petition must be. circulated In at-least II precincts - or the city and bear the signatures of two . per cent of the total number of vo tee cast for- the congressional candidate of hi party at the last general election in the district -which , he -aspires, to rep resent. A petition was filed Saturday by Dud ley Evans, who wanta to be elected a , member of the Republican county cen ' tral committee - from the 13d precinct before be had filed his Intention to be come a candidate. The candidate must - first file his declaration to become a - candidate, when he may f circulate his petition for signers. Leaders of the political parties, are : seriously objecting to the ' election of , members 'Of the county central com-: mlttees, as they say that it will prae- ' tlcally break up the organisation. There is strong sentiment tn favor of enjoining the city from-calling an election for '" members of the central comraltteea on the ground that this part of the pri mary law does not apply to this election, . but to the county election.

' v HAS EYE ON MINERAL " ::. AND OTHER PRIZES Predict Great Future for That Country Whose Praises v777 He Shouts. " . "Wyoming will tak the prises for minerals and agricultural products and the Lewis and -Clsrk fair officials may juat as well have the medals east now," said Paul Bailey of Cheyenne, who is the guest of 1 friends a few day a In Portland. . Wyoming's entire population Is not as large as that of the city of Portland. But they claim' the- highest qualities for th product of that state. Their oils, minerals and agricultural products captured first prises at St. Louts and Chicago. "Two large Irrigation ' projects that are now, being undertaken by-tbn -national government will do great things for Wyoming." said My. Bailey. "These project are th Irrigation of th "Ore gon basin.' in Big Horn county, and the Pathfinder - irrigation -reeervolr near Caspar.. They will reclaim hundreds of thousands of acre of arid lands, and do mora to make Wyoming populous snd prosperous then all-other things cpmblnad. Tbe government will begin work on both of the projects this year. In June, liot, a -portion of the Wind river reservation will be opened, and this will furnish fertile land for many more settlers. The era ef big growth haa juat ' begun in Wyoming. It la a state containing 7.0 square . miles, with Immense natural resources, and ss yt barely discovered. It has great wealth In gold, oil, coal and agriculture. The lateat find Is a mountain ot raaor hone atone." Many miles of railroad will be built In Wyoming within the next two or three year. Th Cnlcago A North-Wast-ern. now terminating at Caspar, haa surveyed for an extension of about 109 mile to a point la th Indian reserva tion that is to be opened for settle ment The Burlington, which now has a branch terminating at Cody, will ex tend toe miles southward to the Inolan reservation. Thla - branch will run through the proposed Irrigating district of Big Horn county. It is said both of these lines will eventually build into the region where Rock Spring coal ia now monopolised by the Union Pacific with its line running through southern Wyoming. . There Is a heavy Immigration move ment of Mormons into Wyoming, aad they are.eolonlslng In soma of th best agricultural sections of the state. They bring all the customs and pollcleahat are complained of in Utah and Idaho. Wyoming's state government haa planned to make a great exhibit at the Lewie and Clark fair. Two Of that atate'a commissioners. Chairman C. B. Rlchardaon and Secretary W. C. Dom ing, are expected to arrive in- Portland today to complete preliminary arrange ments. , i .. . : :: WINTER IRRIGATION OF ECHO COUNTRY After Investigating conditions relative to Irrigation In the country about Echo, Bamuel Portler, an agent of the gov ernment reclamation bureau, haa decided that conservation of water by means of reservoirs there is. not feasible, but thst there ar. large area that can be mad productive by a system of winter Irrigation,' which consists of croas dltchlng.. Mr. Fortler ia at the head of tbe department ' of irrigation cand agri culture in th University of California, and has been sent by th government to look ever Oregon and report on a num ber of Irrigation- propositions. He Is Impressed with the possibilities tn croes ditch irtgatlon In portion of thla state, and will probably recommend that an expert be sent here to mske exhaustive experiment tn evaporation And aeepaga. If It I found that his first impressions are correct, an effort will be made to Induce the government te recognise this clsss of Irrlgstlon, and establish a sys tem on the cro-dltch plan. Mr. Fortler departed yesterday for Bend, where he will take extensive ob serve tlons in the country that is about to be tapped by the Deachute Irriga tion company's automobile road. . . ., One would conclude that the, streets of aVlo are regular runways for wild game, from th chases thst are given our pack bounds every day or two. says th News. vv m Assessor B. D. Slgler says the posi tion of Yamhill county people In op posing th imposition of the State tax under the provisions of th present law Is untenable. . ,. , 'The proposition cornea from Tarn' hill county." said - Mr. Slgler, "that It . is - unjust . to make them : pay their state tax oa the basts required by the statute, because their mlllage rate ia apparently higher than It should be. They cite the miliag ef - Clayaksmas county as en Instance of- the alleged injustloe of the state tax. Th fact ia that Clackamaa county has Increased Its total valuation of property in the past two or three years to nearly dou ble what It formerly was, and this ex plains tbe apparent discrepancy. The assessor, of Yamhill county himself ad mits that tbe valuation ia not above 4t to CO per cent of the eaah valuation. and the record show that' Yamhill county has not Increased In valuation more than 4 per cent in five years, i The plan of levying the state tax for the coming years Is to average the expendlturee of each county tpr a, five- year period and levy the tax according to the pro rata thua shown. This la Waa continued In force by the 100S leg islature, which extended , the operation of the rule until 1010. . "Any other method 'would ' be mani festly Inequitable. Valuations in the several counties vary from 31 to (0 per cent of the true eaah valuation, and to Impose the stste tax according to valu a Hon returned by the assessors would be . te . put a premium on low valuations,- aad Induce, indeed, almost com pel, assessors to adhere to the present custom of avoiding the law and - not valuing property at Its cash valuation. "No law stsnds on the book that Is plainer than the one referring to asset ments. It states In unequivocal lan guage that assessor must aaseas at what the property would bring at a vol untary sale. It Is beyond comprehension how anyone can have the effrontery to ask an assessor to sssess at leas than the full eaah -value. Just as the statute commands." Mr. Slgler haa received a letter from Assessor Peter .Applegate bf . . Jackson county, which aays: "I intend to aasesa all property In Jackson county at exactly Its cash value, as nearly as I can ascertain it. and will do this regardless of what other assessor do. I expect that, next fall. when the board of equalisation meets to correct what property owners think are unjust assessments there will be a large audience in attendance and that standing room In the court' yard here In Jacksonville will bo at a premium." It appears to.be the opinion that,' 1f th Yamhill people persist In their at tempt to prevent th payment of their state taxes as has been announced, they will stop the movement now statewide for the reformation of the methods In vogue by assessors of Oregon. The movement haa gained considerable force. and the time seems to be near when property owners will realise the wisdom of full cash value aaaeasmanta, with Its attendant low mlllage and increased prestige for th state by reason of the larger property values that could be shown. - SOME OF THE THINGS ! -SPIRITUALISM 'DID At Fifty - Seventh Anniversary . N Services Speakers Point With Pride.- ' At the celebration of the 17th anni versary of the birth of modem spirit ualiam, held In Artisan's hall yesterday, members of the First' Spiritual society of this city declared that spiritualism had had a great deal to do wltj the wonderful progress of civilisation in the past half century. .It was their belief that such inventions as the telephone, telegraph and the discovery ef radium are due largely to spiritualism. They also claimed 4h honor of fathering th emancipation of women, as it wss la their societies as mediums 4 hat women were first allowed to take part In pub lics meetings. - Services began at II o'clock and con tinued intermittently all day. In the morning the theme for discussion was The Communion Between Mortals and Spirits Brlngsi Progress." At noon over 200 people had luncheon in the hall. Th Children's Progressive lyceum, the Pioneer society and the Ladiea' Build ing Fund Aid society met In the after noon. It wss announced that subscriptions amounting to $700 had been secured to a building fund, and that the members were very hopeful of raising $50,000 with which to erect a tempi. J. H.
