URGE ORCHARDS ARTPASSING Latest Bin Tract to Be Offered In Small Blocks Is Noted Suncrest Orchards. Owned by Dr. F. C. Page. One by one the large orchards in the valley are being cut up into small tracts and thereby room is being made continuously for a greater pop ulation. The time is coming when every ten acres in the valley will support a family. The latest of the large orchards to b'e offered is tho famous Suncrest , orchard tract. Dr. P. C. Page has decided to place CO'i acres on the market for sule in five and ten-acro tracts and on terms that are most attractive. Thia block is planted to 8-year-old Newtowns, Spitzenbergs and Jonathans. Thoy are all well set with fruit s.pui-3 for next year's erop. The Suncresl orchards consist of 401 acres and lies in such a way thut the drainage is perfect. In addition to this, the soil is of the best. Fruit from this orchard has won Yttrious prizes. Vy, T.

As a result, the senator has resigned trom the eim ana ab ruption threatens it. Inasmuch as Senator Lorimer has never been convict ed of a crime, as his aliened bribery has not and probably cannot be proven, as efforts to convict the u go-between" have resulted in acquittal, Roosevelt's action seems to many an unjustifiable breach of good manners. It is the dictation of a guest to his host and a deliberate insult to one of his hosts. But it is thoroughly Roosoveltian and along tho same lines that his speeches telling Great Brit ain how to govcnvlier colonics, his instructions to women to bear childreu,4iis reform of the dictionary and other bits of meddlesomeness, were. But the motive that inspired Roosevelt's action was a good one, and will receive popular approval. If legisla tors who betray their constituencies and senators who corrupt legislators through purchasing their togas, are sent to Coventry, and barred from association with their fellows, it will be the most effective method of punish ment yet devised, and do more to end the practice than all the courts of the land. Men like Clark of Montana, and Lorimer of Illinois, who are undoubtedly guilty of the offenses charged, even though cunning enough to escape conviction, should be made to feel the full measure of their iniquity, and this can best be done by the refusal of decent people to asso ciate with them. "When this is universal custom, tho opposition to popular election of United States senators will fade away. A RETURN TO CORRUPTION. THREE United States senators have been elected by the people in Oregon. The elections were free from taint of scandal and corruption. They left the legislatures with nothing to do but ratify popular choice, and devote the remainder of their days to looking after the welfare of the state and their own ioaclities in particular.. How much better this has been than the deadlock ses sions, than long-drawn-out contests between 'money-bags or politicians, the scenes recently enacted in Illinois and other states. "Whatever may be said of Oregon senators, they rep resent the people) not like California senators, the South ern Pacific, or like Washington senators, the Great North ern, or like the senators- of other states, various special This admirable condition of affairs in Oregon has been hrmifrlit. nhmit hv Statement One of the direct primary law. Do the people of Oregon want to return td the old svstem, or do thev want to keep the newr? If a return to the days ot legislative corruption is ue sired, vote for anti-Statement candidates. If popular elec tion of senators is wanted, vote for Statement One candidates. MR. CAMBERS SHOULD WITHDRAW. IF HE has the success of popular election of United States senators at heart, Mi Cambers, one of the as pirants for state senator, will withdraw in favor of Mr. Von der Hellen. Otherwise, he may draw enough State ment One support to nominate IMr. Colvig, the anti-Statement candidate. Mr. Cambers stands little chance of securing the nom ination himself, but he is a valuable ally to the machine forces, and is counted upon to bring them success. A vote for Cambers, who is admittedly the weakest of the three candidates, because the least known, will be, un der the circumstances, worse than a vote thrown away, for it will materially aid the anti-Statement candidate. Oswald West, (From the Labor Press.) Tho support of Oswald West in tht primary nominating election for gov ernor by the Labor Press is without prejudice to a single other candidate in the field. But West stands out us n unit of the modem world move ment in political and economic prog ress.
