Progressive Party luncheon In the
Portland Hotel Wednesday, declared
her opposition to prohibition. She
urgod Individual temperance, but as
serted that prohibition means the
doctrine of force and that working

of a reform.
"We can never have temperance in
Its truest sense until we have raised
men and women who are willing .to
abide by the rule of self-protection,"
she said in part. "It is not going to
be many years before we have a ra
tional temperance reform Instead of
the lachrymose emotional raid that
Is now going on all over the country,
engendering law-breaking, Infidelity
and duplicity, but not touchlug whis

la State
Finishing touches of which is
claimed the political "reorganiza
tion" of the SUte FUh and Game
Commission were put on at a meet
ing In Salem Saturday when C. H.
Evans, a personal friend of Gover
nor West, and the new State Game
Warden, was empowered to employ
such deputies as he desired.
It is contended that this action fol
lowing closely upon the wholesale
dismissal of the deputies, proves
that the appointments to be made
will be with a view of enlarging the
scope of the "machine" which is in
tended to do yeoman service in fur
thering the campaign of Dr. J. C.
Smith, West's favored candldlate for
Governor.
About 41 deputies under the old
regime were let out and Mr. Evans
said after the meeting that it would
be necessary for him to employ
about 28 or 30. He denied that there
was anything political in the move
and said that the men had been dis-
rreJHod because It was believed the
best way to bring about a reorganiza
tion. He Intimated that many of the
former deputies would be appointed.
It is. believed that a number of the
men. will - take the hint to get in
right politically.
A resolution summarily dismissing
L. Alva Lewis from the employ of
the Commission for alleged disloy
alty and "false and malicious state
ments" was adopted. State Biologist

Representative From This Judicial

for Re-election
Bend Bulletin: While up to the
present, candidates for county offices
have kept In the background so far
as announcements are concerned.
state office seekers are beginning to
get into the limelight. But no an
nouncement of candidacy will be of
more Interest to Central Oregon than
that of Vernon A. Forbes, repersenta-
tlve in the last legislature from this
district, who has announced that he
will run for re-election.
After the brilliant record that Mr.
Forbes made last year, It Is practi
cally- a foregone conclusion that be
will receive the Republican nomina
tion and be returned to Salem where
he can accomplish more good for this
territory.
"I intend to make no special ef
fort to be returned to the "House,"
said Mr. Forbes. "If the voters are
saflfeficd and want me to work for
them again. I want to go. Next year
there will be many legislative mat
ters of prime importance to this
country and with tha experience that
1 have had and the friends that 1
have made I believe that I can ac
complish more than a green man
possibly could."

-County Provides Half Expenses
State Other Half .
M. A. McCall, who has been in
structor in agriculture In the Klam
ath County High School for the last
two years has resigned his position
to accept the pott of county agricul
tural apprise! , says the North west
ern. Mr. McCall will assume his new
duties in a few weeks or when his
sucessor in the High School is chos
en. The position of county agricul
tural appriser was created by the
last legislature. The apprisers for
the different counties are appointed
by the Department of Agriculture
of the United States upon recom
mendation of the State Agricultural
College.
Mr. McCall is rated by the Ore
gon Agricultural College, of which
he is a graduate and ex-faculty
member, as one of the foremost au
thorities on agriculture on the Pa
cific Coast.
In creating this position for each
county of the State the Legislature
provided for joint payment of ex
penses by the c.ounties wishing to
take advantage of this and the
State. In this Instance the Klamath
County Court provided for $2000
and an equal amount wilr come from
the State government. This $4000
will be used to pay the salary of
Mr. McCall, equipment and office
expenses and provide other ieces
sa iev.. Among the latter probabli
tles is the establishment of small
experiment farms In different parts
of the county where the expert in
agriculture will test different varie
ties of crops and work toward bet
tering the quality of products
through Introduction of new - seed
and different varieties.
Storms Continue in the East
Those who are enjoying the balmy
climate of Lake County will learn
with surprise that thirteen deaths
were due to the storm in Pennsyl
vania the latter part of last week and
the first of this week. Points as far
west as Cleveland, Ohio, and as far
south si Baltimore were battered by
wind, stung with sleet and burled in
snow In a terrlfflo storm, central over
the states of New York and New
Jersey. In Ney York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania between eight and
eleven inches of snow covered the

The local wool market today is in
rather a peculiar condition, owing to
contradictory reports concerning the
sale of Ben Daly's clip, consisting of
approximately 12,000 fleeces. The
Examiner has been informed that Mr.
Daly received as high as 15 cents.
although bis contract with J. Frankl,
representing the Koshlands, fixes the
price at 14 cents. The rumor Is given
for what it is worth, as therj seems
to be no way of arriving at the facts
in the case.
Practically -all the local sheepmen
are holding for; 16 cents, and as a
consequence nothing Is doing in the
way of contracts. However, L. I.
McCullyof Cedarvllle, has contract
ed his clip of about 3000 fleeces, as
has also H. D. and Dick .Woods, of
Eaglevllle, Mr. Frankl getting both
clips. The Woods have about 7000
fleeces, and the reported price is 1$
From a circular sent out by the
National Wool Warehouse" & Stor
age Co., of Chicago, we take the fol
lowing: Many shareholders by wire and
mail are asking for advice as to con -trading
their clips now. In our
opinion tt is pure speculation, to sell
wool before it is grown. We are re
minded of the Hebrew wool-buyers
reply to the conundrum "When is
wool not wool?" He said: "Vile
it is growing it is sheep, und Ten it
gets to Boston it is deer." This works
both ways, but over a period of years
the dealer lias found it profitable to
contract in the Winter, for he has
usually caught the grower napping.
The London Auctions began
Tuesday of this week, and an advance
of 10 to 15 per cent In London prices
is predicted. Would you not be In a'
stronger trading position if you did
not contract your wool until after
you hear from London?
