An enterprising (?) firm of printers
in Portland are notifying county
clerks and county judges that they
have "copyrighted'' all the forms and
blanks needed in tho several counties
for the purposes of registration and
are the only parties who can supply
them. They lie under a mistake.
Those blanks cannot be copyrighted
und tho assertion of tho Portland
firm is false. Any printer can print
and furnish them, though it is very
likely that the cheapest and best way
to get them would be for the several
county officers to send their orders to
some one firm that could turn them
out in large quantities at wholesale
prices. But there is no "copyright'
about the matter.

THE NEW LAV.
An Act That Will, if Literally Followed,
Canee Considerable Friction.
The county court meets to-morrow,
and among other things the commis
ioners will elect judges and clerks for
registration of vote3 and of the elec
tions in this county for the next two
years, in conformity with au act pas
sed at tho late special session of the
legislature and which was approved
Nov. UOth, 1885.
This act requires the registration
of all voters in tho state, and while
the intent is excellent, tho practical
workings of the law as passed will
occasion confusion, annoyance and
possibly trouble.
The judges aud clerks that the
county commissioners select next
Tuesday or Wednesday will hold office
for two years from tne date of tneir
appointment. On the first of next
March they shall meet at the polling
place in their precincts and elect one
of their number as chairman, and
shall continue in session three days.
Any one who wants to vote at the
election next June must personally
appear before them for registration,
at which time the voter shall have is
sued to him a certificate of registra
tion, stating his name, place of resi
dence aud number. When he goes
to vote he will have to bring his cer
tificate of registration along with
him. This is one of the most ridic
ulous features of the law, making a
man bring a ticket like a boy going
to the baker's for a loaf of bread.
Fancy a man living on Lewis and
Clark's or Young's river, or at
Olney coming in to vote and
finding that ha has forgotten his
soup tioket Because of that the law
says he shall not be allowed to vote.
This would bo clearly in opposition to
tho constitution which gives citizens
the right to exercise their prerog
ative, the universal privilege of Amer
ican sovereignty. However, this is
the law, and till upset by the supreme
court will stand, however long or
short that may be. If a man loses
his ticket and swears he did, ho can
get auother, which leaves n conven
ient loophole to creep out. A certifi
cate of registration is no good in any
other precinct than that from which
it is issned. All names must be writ
ten in full, using no initials. No
registration can bo made after March
25th. When the register books are
made up the list must bo copied and
five printed or written copies posted
up in public places in tho precinct
On election day tho polling places
must bo openod at 8 in the morning,
and bo closed at G in the evening,
with an hour's intermission at noon.
The paper that the tickets are printed
on can be had only from the secretary
of state who will supply the political
committees. Any ticket that is
printed on any other paper than that
furnished by that official can not be
counted. Each political party must
file a ballot with the county clerk be
fore the polles are opened, and all bal
lots cast must bo exact fac similes of
the ballots filed. When a voter ha3
voted and his namo and number has
been checked off, the chairman of the
board must write or stamp upon his
certificate of registration tho word
"voted" withthenameof the precinct
and county and the date, and sign it.
All this will take considerable time,
and just how it can be managed in
Astoria where 500 votes are cast in
one polling place is a question, unless
indeed, there are moro polling places
and precincts made, and moro expense
tuns incurred.
As a whole the law is a good one,
but there are a few clauses in it that
will tend to bring tho whole business
into disrepute. The intent is to in
sure an honest election, but the
meau3 employed to carry it out aro
cumbersome and top heavy. Its
workings next spring and summer
will bo viewed with a good deal of in
terest Society Item From the Frontier.
Among the thriving merchants of
Alaska is Mr. B. Goldstein, at Juneau,
to whom, by tho November steamer,
arrived his wife and six young chil
dren from the lower part of the coast
and settled in Juneau, in which place
he had been engaged in business long
enough to fix upon it as a home. By
tho Idaho on Tuesday last arrived
another Mrs. Goldstein, who asserts
that she is the wife of Mr. Gold
stein, and that he abandoned her
twenty-four years ago at Winnipeg,
Manitoba. There seems to be no
doubt of the truth of her story. She
states that she also became .the moth
er of six children before being de

thus collected, inure to their exclusive
use and benefit
Sec. 3. Inasmuch as abuses have

STRANDED AT EUREKA.
Eubeka, Cala., Jan. L The steam
ship City of Cheater, after crossing
the bar yesterday at 5 p. m. took a
sudden sheer and ran into the south
spit, about half way between the bar
and the heads. The wind was blow
ing stiff from the northwest, and this,
with the tide, soon drifted her out of
reach of a tug,whereshelay all night.
At 9 this morning lines were got to
her, but the tugs could not pull her
off. The passengers are still on board.
The weather is clear and calm. The
loss of the steamer is highly probable.
Tho passengers and mail from the
Chester have been safely landed. The
ship lies bow on to the ohannel, close
to deep water.
The wind is strong northwest, with
little prospects of getting her off to
night Her stern is imbedded in the
sand, and the rudder and stern post
aro gone. It ia thought here that
she will be a total wreck. A boat of
the life saving station took off the
passengers. The Chester is an iron
vessel, of about 800 tons, was built in
1873 by John Rcaoh, and brought to
this coast the same year. She is
owned by the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation company, and is chartered by
the Pacific Coast steamship corapan v.
She was valued at $100,000.

It was only a simple ballad,
Song to a careless throng;
Thero were none that know the singer,
And few that heeded the song;
Yet the singer's voice was tender
And sweat, as with love untold;
Sorely those hearts were hardened,
That it left so proud and cold.
She sang of the wondrous glory
That touches tho woods in spring,
Of tho RtrATItrn ninlsMrriTiiT vninaa
When "tho hills break forth and sing,"
Of the happy birds low warbling
The requiem of the day,
And tho quiot hush of tho valleys
In the dusk of tho gloaming gray.
And ono in a distant corner,
A woman worn with strife,
Heard in that song a message
From the spring time of her life;
Fair forms rose up before her,
From tne mist of vanished years;
She sat in a happy blindness,
Her eye3 were veiled in tears.
Then when tho song was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
Tho listener rosa up softly
And went on her way alone.
Once more to her life of labor
She passed; bat her heart was strong
And she prayed, "God bless the singerl
And oh, thank God for the song!"
PACIFIC COUNTY ITEMS.
The mast of the Lammerlaw which
was wrecked off Shoalwater bay bar
Oct 80, 1881, disappeared on Dec.
22d.
The Olympia Partisan says : "The
farmers of Ohehalis county are fur
nishing a large portion of the butter
now used in Olympia." Just exactly
what the farmers of Pacific county
ought to do for Astoria. Instead,
our merchants, even our farmers, oc
casionally are sending their money
away from tho county for hotter.
On Christmas night the steamer
Kate and Anna arrived at South
Bend with freight and a number of
passengers for the Christmas ball at
that place. About seven o'clock the
engineer, whose name we were unable
to learn, but who had charge of the
craft, in stepping on the gang-way
leading to the vessel, slipped and fell
into the river. The strong tide swept
him almost instantly underneath
some lattice nailed on some logs.
An ax was proonred aud the lattice
cut and man saved from drowning.
In the excitement of cutting the man
free, he was struck once or twice with
the ax. Dr. Baloh was oalled at once
and dressed the wonnds, which proved
not very serious, for in the morning
the Kate and Anne steamed aw8y on
her outward vovage. Journal.

A Tennessee man finds there ara
300,000 worthless dogs in that State,
which consume food enough, if fed to
hogs, to make 30,000,000 pounds of
bacon, which would be equal to feed
ing meat to 100,000 able-bodied men
a whole year. At ten cents per pound
the bacon would be worth $3,000,000,
and if in silver, would load down 94
two-horse wagons and make a wagon
train more than half a mile long.
Again, the worthless whelps prevent
farmers from keoping 2,000,000 sheep,
tho mutton and wool from which
would bo worth $5,000,000. Includ
ing the sheep annually killed, the
whole expense of keeping the dogs of
the State amounts to the pretty sum
of S9.000.000.
