LAKEVIEW. OHEOON, MAR.I3 , 006.
Talk nliout the new primary nomi
nation law all they pleise, it's a pood
law if politicians will lot it nlouo,
and there are politicians that can cor
rupt any law that was ever enact ed liy
man. Tbe way the new law is work
ing in Lake comity is something to
be admired. Every man who wants
office is out working for it and there
is no red taie work" or wire pulling;,
and the mau who frets the most of the
peeople's votes is going to tret the
nomination and after the nominations
are made no one can say thnt certain
candidates were loosted to the frout
by trickery or political manipulation.
If the primary nomination law is left
alone to work as it was intended the
people will have no reason to regret
having adopted it. Politicians and
grafters have received such a shaking
up, the past two years that it is
hoped they will not meddle so reck
lessly with the laws for a while, at
least
The people of Lake, county should
wake up to the great uecessity of hav
ing a representative from this county
in the next legislature, as there are
many matters of great importance to
the welfare, progress and future pros
perity of our people, that might le
; obtained if we had an energetic and
'capable resident from this county to
represent us at Salem. Iet the Ke-
get together, as there Is
epublioau majority in the dis
trict of more than 1000, and select a
good, strong man, who has the inter
ests of Lake county at heart, and
nominate him. and we feel almost as
sured that such a man will get almost
the entire vote of this part of the dis
trict, which embraces Klamath, Crook
Grant and Iake counties.
We are pleased to note that the
Couuty Court has ordered the road
from Christmas Lake to Summer Lake
ami Paisley, and also all roads from
the Clitr and Christmsa Lake settle
ments to Silver Lake put in good or
der, so that the people of these settle
ments may have easy access to Silver
Lake, Summer Lnke and Paisley.
We think here that the recent
storm was a severe one, but it has
beeu nothing compared to what they
have had in the Middle West and
Eastern states a couple of weeks ago.
ttlizzards aud tornadoes were numer
ous and the snow piled up to enor
mous depth, with the thermometer
down to zero.

VOTERS' GUIDE.
In response to requests from many of our subscribers for an expla
nation of the requirements of the primary election law, in its rela
tion to voters, we have carefully prepared the following article,
which we believe fully explains every question from the voters' stand
point, involved in the law.
The primary lection law, which is now in effect, does away w ith
all political conventions, so that hereafter, every nomination for
public office will le made at primury elections, which, this year,
will be held on April 20th.
All primary elections will be conducted by the same judges and
clerks of elections that will serve at general elections. Both the
Republicans and Democrats will hold their primary elections on the
same day, at the same place, and will be conducted by the same
judges and clerks.
before any voter is qualified to vote at the primary election, he is
required to have previously registered, and also to have declared his
political affiliations.
There will be two ballots for the primary election, one white aud
one blue. The white ballot will be the Republican ballot, on which
will be printed the names of the candidates seeking the nomination
of the Republican party for the various offices to be voted for at the
June election. The blue ballot will le the Democratic ballot, and
will contain all the names of the candidates of the Democratic party,
who are seeking the nomination of that party for the various offices
to be voted for at the general election on June 4th, of this year.
Each Republican at the primary election, will be handed a white
ballot, and each Democrat will receive a blue ballot. Each voter can
only vote for one name for the same office, except for legislative
offices, when there will be more than one to elect. When the polls
are closed the votes are counted and returns made in the same man
ner as at a general election, aud the person receiving the highest
numler of votes on the white ballot, for the office for which he was
voted for, will be the Republican nominee tor that office, and the
person receiving the highest number of votes on the blue ballot, for
the office for which he was voted for, w ill be the Democratic nominee
for that office.
A Republican may vote for a democrat, by writing the name of
such Democrat on his ticket, and a Democrat may also vote for a
Republican, by writing the name of such Republican on his ticket,
as there will be a blank 6pace after each office for that purpose, but
all names voted for on the white ballot will be counted as a Republi
can, as though the person voted for was a Republican, and also all
names voted for on the blue ballot will be counted as a Democrat,
as though he was a Democrat.
But no vote cast on a Republican ballot for a Democrat can be
added to those received on the Democrat ic ballot, so that the only
way a Democrat can le assi.-ted by the Republican party to a nomi
nation is to receive a plurality ot all the votes cast by the Republi
can party, when such Democrat would bcome the Republican nomi
nee for that office.
Therefore as the Attorney General declares, it would be possible
for one person to be nominated on the white ballot as a Republican,
and also on the blue ballot as a Democrat, aud thus become the
nominee of both parties for the same office.

certain other articles that are put uu-.

Irl li. Hicks, tho noted forecaster,
gives littlo encouragement for miy

March. Heavy loss of livestock is
predicted for the hitter part of the

can bo taken, it might bo well for
I our stockmen to profit by Mr. Hicks'
j forecasts, although they are termed
'"long distance forecasts" and said

We have reliable iuforniaion to the
effect that Dr. Daly will bo a candi
date for the nomination and re-election
to the county Judgeship. With
this announcement, there are still left
two important county offices, survey

we presume that not later than next
week, there will be announcements
made to supply candidates to fill

to make your vote effective, and is
based on the decision of the Attoruey-Cieneral.
March 7th, 1!k;.
At the March term of the County
Court the following proceedings were
had :
In the matter of the petition of
Sheldon S. Thayer, John Holland ami
others, for a new road district to be
established east of Silver Lake, and
for the appointment of J. L. Clilf as
road supervisor of said district, and
also the petition of F. I). Anderson,
Homer Norteu and others for the ap
pointment of A. W. Long as road sup
ervisor for the same district.
Sec. "J'!, Koad Liss, provide-!, that
each County Court at its January term
and at no other term, shall make such
changes in road districts of the Coun
ty as may he deemed necessary.
L'uder the provisions of this law the
Couuty Court is prohibited from
changing established road districts or
'creiting new ones at any time except
, at its January term each year.
In order, however, to grant relief
to the petitioners until their petition
can be allowed, the Court shall nil
' thorize and notify Mr. Oeo, K. l'ar
ker, Koad Supervisor tor thnt district,
; to appoint Mr. J. L. Cliff and Mr. A-
; W. Long as deputy Koad Supervis
' ors of said district, Mr. Cliff to re
pair and keep in good order nil the
'roads leading to Silver Lake from
' the Cliff settlement, and Mr. Long to
j repair and keep in order the County
, road from Christmas Like to Sum
made a ' mcr Lake aud Paisley, and ulso to
there last ! repair such other roads as may be
of forty deemed necessary for tho convenience
of the people of these two settlements
and tho public geuearlly.
Iu the matter of tho -petition of
John L. Green, J. L. Cliff aud eight
others, to establish and lay out a new
road east of Silver Lake.
Sec. 7, Koad Laws, provides, that
a petition for a new road, or the
change of an established road, shall
be signed by at least twelve freehold
ers residing along the line of the pro
posed road.
Sec. 8, Koad Laws, requires, that
all petitions when presented to tbe
County Court, for the laying out of u
new road or to change one establish
ed, shall be accompanied by proof that
four notices has been posted for thir
ty days prior thereto ; one notice to
have been posted at the Court House
and three notices along the line of
the proposed road.
Sec. 10, Koad Laws, requires, that
a bond bo executed by one or more of
the petitioners, in the sum of 1200.00,
to protect the County from the ex
pense of laying out such road In case
the County Surveyor und Viewers
should report unfavorable on said
road
None of these mandatory require
ments of the law have been complied
with, by the petitioners, so that the
County Court is without any author
ity to grant the pet it ion.
There is no law on the statute books
that requires so st rict a compliance
as that which provides for the laying
out and opening public roads, for the
reason that, usually, private property
j has been appropriated for tho purpose,
and to appropriate private property
, for public u-v, evwry ktup riiquiifxl
I by the law must be followed, in order
to make the appropriation of such
property legal, tho Court would,
therefore, suggest that iu idl matters
of this kind, the nevii'es of n compe
tent aud experienced person be secur
ed to prepare the necessary papers,
so as to comply with the manifold
requirement s of t'le law.
