County Clerk Fields, who was waiting on him, took this im- plied rebuke with considerable meekness until he 'saw from Rynson'a ftrA that the yOung . man had waited until October d 20, the last day of registration. Then he said some things that 4 the bystanders enjoyed. . Hynson was advised that some other people were busy about the time he registered, and that 4 It came with poor grace for anyone to complain about a mis- a take when he had waited until the last day, when the olerka were overworked : and almost ' swamped by tardy : voters. e Mr, Hynson, who lives at E09 Morrison street, went away In v a less militant fashion than he entered.

The first 'news of the actual casualties that re T suited from the recent cloudburst was -received today owing to the receding : of tha flood waters of the Canadian J river. J One man is known to have been killed. although his body has not Deen re-covered, snd two others are dying. It More homseseekers are bound for the Paclflo Northwest thjw for any other part , of the country, according to John M. Scott, assistant general passenger agent Of the, Harrlman lines In Oregon. Mr. Scott has lust returned from;' an "ex tended trip through the Middle West and from attendance upon the Trans continental Passenger-association meet ing in Chicago. . ''Emigration - to the West Is not as heavy aa last season," said Mr. Scott, "but It la picking up. and after election will be' as heavy, as ever,. I - think. Agents and passenger men everywhere tell me that there are more inquiries and more tickets purchased. to the Pa cific Northwest .than to any other part of the country, not excepting- California. They attribute this to the community advertising that Is being- done by the various communities through the state." While In attendance upon 'the Trans continental Passenger association meet ing in Chicago, Mr.. Scott secured tha 150 round trip rata for Portland next Summer. This rate will go into effect May 25, so that It will be In plenty of time to benefit the Rose Festival In June. rUstttd Praes Leased Wire.) Chicago, Oct 24. A summary of the result of straw ballots taken by Chi cago, Cincinnati, New York and St. Louis newspapers, compiled here to day, Indicates that Taft will carry Ohio by 80,000, Kansas by' 40,000 and Maryland by a close margin, besides all the New England states. The vote shows that Bryan will carry Oklahoma by S5.000. The poll in the southern states in dicates that the Democrats have slight ly reduced pluralities In many com munities in the solid south. The biggest returns from the straw vote came from Ohio, but represent only the cities, with Cleveland and Toledo not inoludod. The vote Indicates that the claim of some Democrats that Kansas is a doubt ful ' state Is without foundation. The vote in Maryland was taken In all seotlons of the state and represents all Interests. It Indicates that the vot ing will be so close that the result will grobably not ba known until the official allot Is counted, as was the casa four years ago. The vote In New England failed to ahow that Connecticut and Rhode Island can be called doubtful. The poll In Oklahoma Indicates that districts formerly alrtngly Republican are turning toward the Democratic candidate. Monday will ba the last bargain day for taxpayers.

LBIITED PULLMAN TBAIN TO MEXICO Plans have been completed by the Southern Pacific for the operation of a special limited Pullman train excursion from Portland to the City of Mexico tho coming winter. The train will con sist of vestlbuled sleepers, observation sleeper, buffet smoking car, and dining car. leavina- Portland neremhpr 1J arM San Francisco December 16. The excur sion will be run over the lines of tha uoutnern Pacific, Mexican Central, Mex- l ican national, international & Great ferton, Harrieburg & San An admitted defect of these straw ballots, which are being taken by news papers for the most part Republican, is the fact that they do not reach the farming and laboring classes, which will decide the coming- election. Even at that, they show an enormous falling off in the Republican vote as Indicated by tha Roosevelt pluralities in 1904. Kansas gave Roosevelt a plurality of 126,098; the estimate of these Repub lican newspapers that Taft will carry tne state oy tv.uuu snows an aammea falling off -of over two-thirds. Walter Wellman, one of the best posted news paper political writers in tne country, says Viat If Taft carries Kansas his plu rality will not be more than 10,000. Ohio gave Roosevelt a plurality of 256,421; these Republican newspapers claim that the state will go for Taft by 80,000. Again this is less than one third of the- Roosevelt plurality, and it is noticeable that the poll did not in clude either Cleveland or Toledo, two cities in which there is a large labor vote. In Cleveland the opposition to Roosevelt and to his candidate Is es pecially strong because of the presi dent's unwarranted Interference In the recent municipal election, when he sought to defeat Mayor Johnson and to elect Burton. It Is also worthy of note that the straw vote in Ohio was confined to the cities and did not Include the farmer. Walter Wellman elves Ohio to Bryan. and It In classed as a doubtful state by the leading Jew x ora papers. Maryland Is confidently claimed by the Democratic managers as safely for Bryan.

Stout and Johnson and George F.

As the matter now stands he cannot go ahead with any part Of his project or his Diana for laying water pips. The Kelsay franchise Question comes as another complication in tha annexa tion question. If annexation goes on the November ballot the argument of the campaign to roiwm centers arouna the water Question. If any consider able number of the voters were to rely on Kelsay being able to furntah fire protection ana water lor general use next year, as he has promised, this might have the effect of bringing about tne aereat OI annexation once more.
