Some, question has arisen in the past few days regarding this angle. Qualifications for voting in tlio election are slightly different from those of a regular city or state election. The Oregon state school luws provide as follows: "Any citizen 21 years of ago who has resided1 in tho district 30 days immediately proceeding tho elec tion and has property in tho dis trict, as shown on the last assess ment, on which ho or she is liable or subject to pay a tax, shall bo entitled to vote." Thep roperty qualification clause can be satisfied by any person "who presents evidence that he or she has stock, shares or ownership in any corporation, firm or co partnership which has property In the district on which said corpor ation, firm or co-partnership pays flaxes, even though his or her indi vidual name does not appear on the lax roll." i o Classified advnrtismg Rets results I The duties of a trouble shooter i fur the power company aro many j 'and varied and involve some rather j unique experiences, as members of' tho local Cupco line crew can tes- I j tify. Not only is It recessary to re I pair breads in tno line in nil sorts j nf weather any time of day or ; night but It is often found neccs : Hupy to render first aid to man or i beast. Evidence of tho latter type I of work was presented yesterday morning whe;i an urgent call for t help was phoned in to the Copco ! division office on West Main street. I It seems that a thoughtless 'mem- ber of the feline family had sought I refuge on a polo In the south part ! of town, this action having been I precipitated no doftht by a blood thirsty canine. Having once ac I quired a lofty position of safe vant , ago far above tho yelps of the dis appointed pup. who rotired in dis gust, mistress pussy lacked the courage to come back to earth. So there she stayed, cold and hungry, until an sos call brought a. Copco lineman to the scene. The rescue was speedily effected though ham pered rather than assisted by the victim in distress and both the cat and her rescuer are none the worm for their adventure.
