In almple words, any citlsen of the State can vote at the apecial election under his old or new registration or whether he is registered or not. This opinion was given by Secretary of State Olcott in reply to numerous inquiries from voters who wished to have this question settled.

On account of tbe attacks made upon the purchase of road machinery, tbe county eourt bas determined not to exceed tha amount In the road fund. As tha road bond question will come before the people this winter, there Is every prospect of a plentiful supply of money for continuing work on a still greater scale nest year.

HOW TTvIFAT COMING ELECTION Secretary of State Gives Advice That Should Remembered. Be If favorable to tbe measures to be voted on at tbe special referendum election to be held under tbe Day bill, November 4, vote "yes," and if op posed to them vote "no," is the advice given to voters by Secretary of State Olcott in an interview given to tbe press.

The voter la voting directly upon tbo measure before him for his considera tion and not on the question of sus taining the referendum petition. Voters must bear in mind aolely that if tbey are in favor of any measure they vote 'yes' and if opposed to it tbey vote 'no'. Thia same question has arisen prior to otber elections and it is not unlikely that many have voted contrary to their desires, hot knowing bow to mark their ballots "To further Illustrate, when a vetoed measure ia returned to tbe Legisla ture for ita further consideration aa to whether that body will pass the measure notwithstanding the veto of tha Governor the .question la so pot and if the required number of mem Continued on page eight SPRING COLONIST RATES JN01CED: Homeseekers Season Just Ended Does Not DIscour age Southern Pacific.
