There is considerable specula tion as to who Gov. Benson will appoint to fill the vacancy on the state board of agriculture' caused by the death of M. D. Wisdom. Friends of C. L. Hawley, ' of In dependence, who claim to know, say that he will be the man, but C V. Carter of this county, is be ing boosted for the place and may land it Both of the aspirants for the appointment are well known men ...... . . . and agriculturists of the state. Mr. Hawley, was a member of the house 5f representatives of the last session of the legistature, having been sent from Polk and Benton counties. He was recog nized by his colleagues as one of the solid members of the house and acquitted himself with honor by his labors in the interest of the public school system of the state and other important meas ures before the legislature. Mr.- Carter was a member of the house from Benton' county in the legislative session of 1907. During that session he took a prominent part in . the work of the assembly and was one of its most active and influential mem bers. ' '.. ' " Both of the ; candidates for the appointment have many friends who are working for the success of their respective champions and much pressure has been and will be brought upon Governor Ben son in behalf of each man. It is expected that the governor will name the new official in a short time, probably before he returns from his vacation trip to Cali fornia, as the work of the state board of agriculture is heavy at this time because of the near ad vent of thie state fair at Salem. .

ASKED MONEY FOR BIG FIGHT Says Oregon Will Go for Prohibition in 1910, bat it Will Take a Large Sum of Money to Win----CorvaHi People Subscribe. "The Three Great Questions for Temperance People," as pro pounded by J. R. Knodell at the opera house Sunday morning, proved to be ; a single question: "Where are we going to get the money to carry on the fight?" Mr. Knodell is superintendent of the State Anti-Saloon League and made the jtatement that it cost about $9,000 to carry on the fight in 1908, and he said it would cost three times as much to win the state for prohibition in 1910. His r articular business is to get the money and to arouse anti-saloon voters to the neces sity of voting against the saloons when at the polls. In line with his purpose, Mr, Knodell had ilis - tributed through the "audienrp cards on which those favorablv inclined might write down the amount they would give monthly. Many signed up, but the amount pledged at the morning and even ing service is not known. The Condition In Oregon. Mr. Knodell is a ready speaker. filled with enthusiasm, and made an interesting address. By maps he showed the extent of dry and wee territory m tne United States and only Pennsylvania, Mary land, New Mexico, Utah and Ne vada showed wholly black. Eleven states have total prohi bition and the remainer of the states have local option. In 1904, Oregon was black; in 1906 there were eight dry counties; in 1908, twenty-eight dry counties, and 117 dry precincts. Three-fifths of the state is under prohibition, and more than half of the people are under prohibition govern ment. .Mr. Knodell expects the state to go with him in 1910. It will take a state majority of 5600 to off-set Multnomah's usual ma jority in favor of saloons. There are fourteen months to fight and that's long enough, Knodell says, if those against the saloons will vote against them. . After Lincoln county was voted wet by a majority of ; 3, no less than eleven ministers and ex- ministers wrote to him and ad mitted they had not gone to the polls. FUNERAL TODAY. c Children having arrived from California, Mrs. J. W. McCready, who died last Friday,' was laid to rest today. The funeral service was held at 2:30 p. m., at the home near First and Harrison, Dr. J. R. N. Bell officiating. A quarette sang "Asleep in Jesus," "Abide with me," and another selection. The casket was cov ered with beautiful floral offer ings, and though the McCreadys are strangers - here, there were many townspeople present to show their sympathy and respeet. iQL III THIS VALLEY y CLIP A ; GOOD ONE AND QUALITY OF FLEECES VERY FINE. 4" $4,000,000 FOR IKE STATE Figures Show That Oregon Wool Grow ers" are in Better Shape than Ever .
