All oommnnlcatlont should be addressed to 'i PKKqs Athena, Oregon ATHENA, APRIL 13 .1906 A communication bas been receiv ed at tbe attorney -general's office from a voter of Clackamas conuty, asking Mr. Crawford's opinion as to whether or not a citizen who presents himself to vote at tbe primary election in Aptil can be compelled to give bis political party affiliations or be de nied tbe right to vote in case of re fusal. Tbe attorney-general declined to give a positive opinion, bnt called attention to section !!8 of the primary nominating law. It appears that a test case npon this point will be made in one of the Clackamas conuty pre cincts. A voter who refused to reg ister bis political affiliation will offer to vote and when denied that right he will bring suit in the circuit court. Tbe poiut contended for is that the resignation of party affiliations de stroys the secrecy of tbe AuHtraliau ballot. . Tbe largest commission banded out to a Yale man reoently is the job wbiob bas been offered to Yu Cbnan Chang, 1903, by the Emperor of China. He bas invited Cbang to look up the legal system , of Germany and to make an official report of it to tbe imperial government. Cbang bas just acoepted the invitation and has gone to Berlin to begin bis task. His report will be made to tbe imperial Chinese commission which is now touring this country. Chang was given the degree of doctor of common law from tbe Yale law school three years ago, graduating with high houors. lu Spokane is an organization called tbe 150,000 club. In Walla Walla is a 60,000 club. Tbe purpose of these organizations is labor for tbe inorease of popnlatiiou to a certain figure within a specified time.

Now be virtually has the support of tbe newspapers, be bas been endorsed by nearly all tbe clubs and organiza tions and, what' is most unusual, be is backed by tbe brewers, who are apparently in earnest in tbe fight; to crush ont vice. When Mayor Adam announced that municipal ownership was a very ex cellent thing be was not taken seri ously, but it did not take long to bring around to bis way of thinking the mass of the people, and a proposi tion to build a city gas plant is now being worked out by tbe mayor. Gas is now supplied by an offshoot of tbe Standard Oil compauy, from which temporary concessions have been de manded. Mayor Adam bas done some startling things. He started out on tbe principle that the people of Buffa lo as a whole were honest, and when be demanded the resignation of a few city officials who were known to be grafters be was praised. Buffalo bas been a rather wicked eity, and its tenderloin needed clean ing. To do this some changes had to be made in tbe police department. Tbe dismissal of tbe superintendent and transfers of others convinced tbe police force that tbe old warrior in tbe mayor's chair could not be fooled, and in a few weeks the tenderloin wore a deserteti appearance. The gamblers fled early in tbe crusade. Leading brewers were furnished a list of places that were not straight. The brewers declared that they would not sell to any "joint" and they kept tbe promise so faithfully that these places were ont of business. Tbe brewers went further than that; tbey notified all saloonkeepers that tbey bad to live up to tbe law, or get no beer. And, if it becomes necessary, tbe national organization of brewers would be called upon to cut off tbe outside supply. Muyor Adam served notice on a lot of wealthy men that if they did not stop swearing off taxes be would send them to jail. Buffalo's tax 'receipts will hereafter be higbor. The In ternational . Railway, which owns many trolley lines in tbe city, jammed a bill through councils before Mayor Adam came into office, giving it cer tain privileges on one street. Mayor Adam bas held up its plans to get free franchises on other streets, and he bas made it clear that all concessions to street railway companies in tbe future will be based ou the city's option to buy tbe roads at a future date. GOING AHEAD WITH IRRIGATION. Portland Oregonian. Announcement from authoritative sources that contracts will soon be let for tbe construction of a dam iu tbe Umatilla irrigation tract for storage of water for irrigation gives assuranoe that the government is going ahead with its reclamation project in that sectiou of the state. The enterprise, though small iu comparison with some of tho others that have been undertaken, is of vast importance not only to that immediate looality, but to Portland and tbe entire state. An area of 20,000 aores, now unpro-1 ductive, will be made as valuable as any agricultural lands on tbe coast, the low altitude making this a more promising field for irrigation work than most of the projects that have been approved. Though any one set tler may own as much as 160 aores of land iu the reclamation tract, it is thought by irrigation experts that ten acres will be enough for one man to oato for undor the system of intensfled agrioiulture. If there should be on u average, one family ou each 20 acres, and as many more families in tbe towns which will grow tip in the tract, a dense population of thrifty and prosperous people will soon be permanently established ou tbe plains thut are now the habitation of jack rabbits aud coyotes. The storage reservoir will be form ed by the construction of a dam 00 feet high aud 4000 feet long, with capacity in the artificial lake thus Make Your appointments Here made for 50,000 acre-feet of water. A feed canal 25 miles long will con duct the water of tbe spring floods from tbe Umatilla river to tbe reser voir, where it will be held until needed in summer, when it will be conveyed in numerous canals to the field to be irrigated. Tbe tract to be irrigated lies south and east of tbe town of Umatilla and north of the town of Ecbo, on tbe line of tbe O. R. N. Railway in Umatiilla county. INDIAN TERRITORY EDITORS. Muskogee Phoenix. One by ono the old guard is bid ding tarwell to the tripod, the paste pot, shears and print shop, and retir ing on their well earned honors and competence to the shades of private life, where the payroll worrieth not and tbo C. O. D. packages never comes. First, our dearly beloved Dea Marrs, of tbe Vinta Chieftain, left ns, and before the ecbo of our weep bad quit resounding through the sanctum. Lamb, he of the meek and lowly mien, delivered bis valendic tory. Now comes the most brushing loss of all, and we positively refuse to be comforted; Bussell, of the South McAlester Capital, the orator, the possessor of tbe acute olfactory organs, the man who can smell treaobery as a sick kitten can a saucer of milk; Russell, tbe picturesque, the vitriolic, the uncertain, tbe un expected, the resourceful, the vol uminous and the sarcastic ; he, too, has wrapped the mantle of bis great ness 'round his majestio shoulders, adjusted tbe laural wreath on bis noble brow, and with tbo dignity of a Roman senator bidding farewoll ' to the senate, stalks forth into the qniet life where personals, patent medicine ads, puffs and pay checks have no place. This is too much ; it is almost more than we can bear, and if our pen falters and the words iofuse to come charge it all to our irreparable loss of a brother in ink, who was both a thing of beauty and a joy for ever.
