OF WHO'S PRES
CAMERON RECALL VOTE FXPFRT ril.RCI IFS
WILL COME- ON SOON
AFTER THE
Petition In ,'MaguIre's Ha'nd's
Waiting, to Be Filed With
Secretary of State, ,
The primary election will be quickly
followed by another election to decide
whether or not District Attorney Cam
eron shall be permitted to serve out his
term, according to the plana of Council
man James Magulre., who had charge
of the circulation of the Cameron re
call petitions a few months ago. ,
Maguire has the completed recall pe
tition in his hands, and he announced
today that he will hold it Until short
ly before the primary election, when it
will he filed with the secretary of state,
Under the recall law, a special election
will be in order within 20 days.
"I think the candidate nominated at
the primaries would be the logical can
didate to put .against Cameron in a re
call election, said Maguire, "so I will
hold-the petition until Just before the
primaries. . Then we will have a spe
cial election, and elect the candidate
nominated at the primaries to fill out
Cameron's term.
"The new man would have five or six
months then In which to make good,
and if he falls to make good the voters
can make another change in November.
You can bank on, the recall being filed,
so Cameron can be pfut out soon after
the prlmaris." A '
One obstacle to Maguire's plans will
doubtless be encountered in the secre
tary of state's office, the, attorney gen
eral having .ruled- that the recall amend
ment is not operative without further
legislation. If filing is refused, the
legar question -can be raised by a writ
oi manuamus, which can be taken di
rectly to the supreme court for a de
cision. - ,

RATE SITUATION
There Is No Reason Why Puget
Sound Should Have Any Ad
vantage Over Oregon Sea
port, Declares J. H. Lothrop.
"The question of; terminal rates to
Astoria is one that does not come dl
rectly . before the transportation com
mittee of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, hence I have not given it
serious consideration," said J. II. Loth
rop, manager of the transportation
committee of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, in discussing the subjoct
today.
"It. does not require. much thought.
however,; for one to become convinced
that considering distance and cost, the
two most important factors in fixing
railroad rates, Astoria should be placed
at least on an equality, with Pugei
sound cities. , .'. . . ..
"There is no doubt but that If As
toria' were ' served by a line that did
not reach any: coast city enjoying ter
minal rates, Astoria also ' would be
granted terminal rates. - That would be
the policy of . the railroad in protect
ing its own interest.
"There is a strong undercurrent of
feeling rapidly coming' to the surface
that Astoria and Portland are not re
ceiving the full benefit of their loca
tion, that they are being denied their
natural advantages. While this is true
with regard to , practically all kinds
of traffic, it is particularly true with
reBpect ..to grain and flour from Oregon
and eastern Washington producing and
milling points. iThe distance from such
points generally is shorter - to Astoria
than .to , Tscoma and Seattle, and the
cost ot transportation is very much in
favor of the Columbia river l..tul. .
' O.-W. S. & N. Company's Position.
"In the past, that s before the O.-W.
Rr & N." company : had its; own line" to
Puget sound, in my opinion that com
pany should have insisted that a fixed
differential . should be ' maintained be
tween Portland and Astoria rates on the
one hand and rates to Puget sound on
the other. ' No doubt such a condition
would have resulted in a prolonged
rate war, but the O.-W. Tt, & N. com
pany could havjB stood the fight fully
as Ion j as could the northern lines to
Tacoma and Seattle, j Now that the O.
W. It. & N. compariyihas its own lino
to Seattle, that company would no doubt
hesitate ; to voluntarily '. carry : lower
rates to Astoria and Portland thun to

Health Officer.
THE REASON FOR THIS
. CONDITION IS PLAIN
Married Folk" Get Plenty to
Eat and- Live Regular
Lives; That's Why. -
Jt you would live long and pass your
days In peace, get married. And after
you are married, stay married. Above -all,
get married Just as quickly as you
can, for every delay is only lessening
your chances for length of days.
This was the conclusion to be drawn
from information given by Dr. Calvin 8.
White, secretary of the state board of
health. In a paper on "Uniform Methods
of Collecting Vital Statistic," that he
read before tha session of state, county
and city heaOT officers of Oregon this
morning. Dr. white knocked, the props
right out ' from under the confirmed
bachelor and the fair divorcee, for he
showed from figures that divorced per
sons are the shortest lived of us all,
with .single people next and married folic
at tha top of the list. ,
The Ufa of the ordinary married man
and woman. Dr. White ahowed, is some-
waen uiuunu to years; wun ine Dacne
lors and spinsters coming several sea
sons behind and the divorcees trailing
far to the rear. It's all because the
married man gets plenty to eat and lives
a regular life, while the Jars and trou
bles ot divorced people weigh on their
minds and lead the.-i Into bad habits
that shorten their days.

Moreover, if you are 25 years old and
haven't yet committed suicide, been run

Dr. White. The great majority of ail

Dr. White devoted considerable atten
