T. Foss, city re corder, and W. N. Campbell, conn rllmnn. held office until tho terms of tlio men for whom they wrre elec ted expired without reference to tho general city elect next month. Tho opinion tallews: Tho decision nit given reads: "In tho circuit court of tho state of Oregon, In and for Jackson coun ty. Stato ex rcl. Tyrcll, vs. Klmor T. Koss. "I bcllevo this esse presents more difficulty to a satisfactory determin ation than any other ease presented to me. as the reasons for and against are all so convincing and tlio law In support of either position Is so mea ger. "It would appear at first glance that there ts an Irreconcilable con flict between section 11 and C4 of tho charter, and that the latter must prevail. Tho argument Is also very convincing that tho right to choose should revert to tho people at the earliest opportunity untesR thero Is clear direction to the contrary. "On the other hand, tho plalnitf's position would appear at first to dis arrange tho rotation In otflco pro vided for counctlmcn. "The law is clear that wo must reconcile the two sections If we can, and it Is also clear that wo cannot read Into the laneuaga used any wordn not there. State ex rcl. Ba ker, 22 Or. 33S. "It la also clear that an election held at this time will not disturb the rotation in office, for tho candidate elected would only hold for tho bal ance of tbo unexpired term. Stato vs. Payne, supra. "In tho absence of precedent, the court must endeavor to arrlvo at that conclusion which Is most logical and reasonable to Us mind, and this I will endeavor to do. "Section 11 of tho charter cloarly gives the council authority to fill a vacancy for tho unexpired term, whilo section CI limits tho Incum bency of the appointee to 'the next election and untltl his successor Is elected.' Can these provisions bo reconciled? In stato vs. Payne the law under consideration gives the governor power to appoint, and tho appointee shall hold until tho next general election, wten his successor shall bo elected and shall qualify. "In tho case beforo us, there is nowhero any provision for tho hold ing of any election for tho office of city recorder other than once In two years. Ulack's dictionary distin guishes between the term 'general election,' and other elections as be ing an election to fill offices at the expiration of tho term as against elections to fill vacancies, which are denominated 'special elections.' And it is elementary that a special elec tion can only bo held when thero is a direct provision for It. Had tbo words used in section 64 been 'an nual election' it .would be clearer; but standing as they do, I am of tho opinion that tho words 'next elec tion' mean the next election provid ed by law for tho electing of a re corder. This theory is also borne out by tho other words of the section, "and untitl his successor Is elected, etc' I think the true construction ahould bo that tho appointee shall hold his office at least until tho next election and so much longer as is re quired to reach an election provided by law for tho election of ono to fill tho office. "I am thcreforo of tho opinion that tho writ should bo dismissed, and huvo so ordered. T. M. CALKINS, Judge" An Informal primary election for tho purposo of choosing two of tho four candidates for mayor to remain In tho race was suggested by Candi date C. K. dates Friday, tin an nounces that ho will not oniy abide by such a result but will nlso con tribute to the expense of holding such nn election during the coming week. As the socialists are certain to keep their man In the race they nro not to vote at tho primary. Tho plan Is simply to hnve voters call at the city hall on n certain date and there vote on Kates, tilfert, Mit chell and Watt, the two highest to remain In the race and tho two low est to withdraw. In this manner will tho political ntmosphcro be cleared. "I suggest this method," states Mr. Gates, "simply as a fair one, and In which something besides chance figures as would be tho Case In a dice game." ANY WOMAN CAN MAKE MONEY .00 DOUBLE DUTY Xo sale in recent MVdford history has attracted tlio attention that has been turned to AhreuV hnlf-jirioe sale which started today. Mr. Ahrcus has thrown suits, skirts, furs, waists, millinery, sweaters, dresses, hand hn, nnd children's wear on sale for four days, everything nt half-price. Thero ii nothing resened and I lie half price ent is rigidly lived up In. As n result this wipuliir store lias been crowded with eager buyers who are making their iiumev do dou ble duty. When a storo with exelu-' sivc merchandise gives a half-price salo it is money in the buyers' Keket to attend. A pitiable tnlo of hunger connected with tho failure of Santa Clnus to leavo much needed food and clothing nt his home, opened the prison doors Thursday afternoon for "Windy 11111s Welsh, caught In the act of robbing n store Christmas mxht, of food which he wanted for his "kids, nnd old woman." The authorities with visions of their own happy firesides had not the heart to send Hill over the road. He was allowed to go af ter currying the bacon and Hour he had stolen back to Its owner. "Windy 11111" has lived for years In tho city and has been moro or less of n town character. Ho con fessed to a number of other theftH from warehouses, salug ho only took food for his family. Ho was given a severe lecture and Informed that next time he would certainly go up for theft If caught. KuNh.l liriHiK N" YMk ILi.U Cnj.
