Registration reopens Sept. 20.
Closes for election Oct. 20.
Presidential election Nov. 3.
Reports received by the secre
tary of commerce and labor on
the alien inward passenger move
ment for May, 1908, show that
the total immigration into the
United States front all countries
during that month was 36,317, a
decrease of 76 per cent, compared
with May, 1907. The immigra
tion from all countries during the
six months ended May 31, 1908,
was 227,283, a decrease of 63 per
cent, compared with the six
months ended May 31, 1906, and
66 per cent, compared with the
six months ended May 31, 1907.
The total number of aliens who
arrived in this country during
the eight months ended February
29, 1909, was 736,599, while the
number of aliens who departed
during the same period was 4S3,
868, leaving the net increase of
population by immigration 252,-
731. Secretary Straus said today
that these figures substantiate
his view that the movement of
aliens to and from the United
States was regulated almost whol
ly by the law of supply and depend.
Los Angeles, San Piego, and
the greater part of Southern
California, experienced a very
noticeable earthquake shock last
Friday, about five o'clock a. m.
Clocks were stopped, and dishes,
bric-a-brac, and presumably not
a few of the visiting Easterners,
were considerably rattled. It is
not a very pleasant sensation to
be hurled out of bed and slammed
around the room by an invisible,
imponderable force, in the early
morning hours, anti-while the old
residents are used to these ter
restrial disturbances and take
them as a matter of course, one
cannot blame visitors for feeling
a trifle nervous on such occasions,
with 'Frisco's experience fresh
in the memory.

It looks as though the recent

Statement No. 1, was premature.
It appears that the new statute
instructing members of the legis
lature to vote for the Senatorial
candidate receiving the highest
number of votes at the general
election was not a law in fact
until made so by the last June
election. Consequently it cannot
be considered as binding upon
the legislators chosen at that
election.

Ex.
The board of regenfs of Ore
gon normal schools has voted to
recommend to the Legislature

Hofer after the motion to main
tain all four had been lost. Mr.
Ayer indicated his intention to
make a minority report still ad
vocating reduction to two, says
