Oregon Stands Second
In Agriculture
Portland. Ore, Nov. 8. While Oregon!
wae hardly expected to make very much
of a showing when pitted aeainst Eastern
States in the competition for awards in
the department pf agricultural and dairy
implements, yet the returns made public
yesterday by Director of Exhibits Henry
E. Dosch, show that this state took
second place. Illinois comes first with a

are for gold medals. Oregon received 14
awards, 1 1 of them gold, two silver and
one bronze. New York takes third place

with ten awards, nine of them gold and
one silver.
The rest of the awards are scattered
among exhibitors in a dozen states. Cali
fornia took seven awards, all but one of
them for gold medals; Kansas and Ohio
received six awards each, but Kansas
gets the best of it by having five gold
medals and one silver against three gold
and three silver held by Ohio. Michigan

Pennsylvania two, Vermont, Indiana and
Missouri one each.

Mr. Lawson says that the construction of
line over the summit, a distance of
seven miles, has been easy sailing and
will be easily completed by. December
first He says the line is being construct
ed so substantially that when completed
it will require little repair. The poles
used are 45 feet in length, thus provid
ing against excessive snow and the small

top. The wire used is number four, two
sizes larger than that ordinarily' in
and the insulators are the largest and
strongest made. V ' v
ELECT
THIS
MONTH
Washington. Nov. 8. Christian Hague,
charge d'affairs, ad interim, of Norway,
in an interview published today, dis
cussed the coming election to the Norwe
gian throne by referendum vote.
"According to latest accounts, I think
Prince Charles of Denmark will be elect
ed to the throne and will accept," said
Mr. Hagur. "The election will be held
Nov. 12, on which day voting will occur
throughout the country, but as many
places are remote, without wire connec
tions, the vote will not be counted for
perhaps a week afterwards." '
It probably would be about the first of
December before the prince would as
cend the throne and perhaps' several days
would elapse before the reorganization
could be completed. '

Watson's for November
. The editorials in Tom Watson's Mara
zine for November are notable for their
variety and incisiveness. In the looselv
connected paragraphs entitled "Editorial

such distinguished cersonasea as J. P.
Morgan, Chauncey M. Depew and sever
al presidents of life insurance companies.

Samuel Fowler; ' Export Losses" Flav-
