Delegates To National CcTentioiu
That delegates to the national
political conventions must be
elected by means of conventions
in Oregon, is the opinion of Attor
ney General Crawford, who was re
quested to make a thorough re
view of the primary law by G. A.
Weetgate, former chairman of the
republican state committee.
Mr. Crawford says that he sees
nothing in the Oregon primary
law to change the manner of elect
ing delegates to national conven
tions and therefore it is thought
that both democratic and repub
lican parties in Oregon will hold
state conventions for that pur
pose. This matter has been discussed
widely by leaders of both parties
and while it has been the desire to
follow the primary law to the
letter, yet there have been doubts
as te the provisions for the election
of delegates to conventions and
after a most careful and painstak
ing review of the law the attorney
general declares that it does not
affect the election of delegates in
any way.
The national republican com
mittee urged the republicans of
every state to carefully and scrup
ulously observe the primary law
in states where it exists and it has
been the opinion of many leading
republicans of the state that the
Oregon primary law provided for
the election of delegates.
However, the opinion of the at
torney general will change the en
tire program in this state and it is
probable that both parties will
call conventions for the purpose
of selecting delegates to their na
tional conventions.
How the delegates of the state
will be selected is another puzzling
question as the primary law does
not provide for state conventions
and so it seems that a side issue
will have to be made of the selec
tion of state delegates through pre
cinct primaries, county conventions
and other routine' forms observed
for years in Oregon.
Already there is a demand that
the Oregon primary law be
amended to provide for the selec
tion of delegates to conventions,
since there is a lack of uniformity
in the manner of selecting dele
gates and in the manner of elect
ing officials under this law.
The holding of precinct prima
ries and county conventions for
the sole purpose of selecting dele
gates to a state convention aside
from holding the regular primar
ies, will entail a great cost and an
extra burden on the voters and it
is thought that some action will
be taken looking to the amend
ment of the law at the next session
of the legislature.

THE REAL
BOOSTER
The East Oregonian describes
the booster in the following clear
cut, decisive manner:
"There is much talk these days
of boosters and boosting, much of
it that is backed by the real work
along that line and a good deal of
it that is purely and . simply 'hot
air.'
"The real booster in a town is
the man who always has a good
word for that town and its insti
tutions; the man who, when a
stranger is within the gates of his
town will exert himself to speak a
good word for the place.
"The real booster is always to be
found lending his financial and
his moral aid to any project which
has for its object the betterment of
his community and one who is
never found shaking his head
wisely and questioning the mo
tives of the men who are trying to
do something for his town and
consequently for him.
"The real booster seldom stands
on the street corner and bemoans
the fact that the town is going to
bow-wows. He does not have time
to sit around and complain while
doing nothing to make things
better.
"No, the real booster, the man
who's entitled to the name, will
tell you that his town is the best
one on earth. . v
"He will always be found on
the firing line and if he has a kick
because business is dull he, keeps
it to himself and lets you think he
is doing more business than any
one. ' , .'
"The real booster contributes to
the uplifting and betterment of his
town and its people; he takes its
local papers and advertises in its
columns. He is a genial,-ener
getic, whole-souled individual,
whot life is lived that others are
made happier and better. Here's
to aim.' -May his tribe Increase."
DRY FARMING
CONGRESS
The official call for the second
sessionof the Trans-Missouri Dry
Farming Congress to be held in
Salt Lake January 22-26, has just
been'iwued.
The objects of the congress are
set forth as follows: - '
1. The consideration of the
best methods of rendering the
landd of the semi-arid west pro
ductive where ditch irrigation it
impracticable.
2 ' The determination of the
beet agricultural methods where
crop and livestock farming is prac
ticable.
3 To encourage the establish
ment of experimental farms to de
termine the limitations of scien
tific soil culture and seed selection;
these farms to be operated under
the direction of state and federal
experiment stations or private
enterprise.
4 , To assist the prospective set
tler in every practical way ; to de
termine what land under scientific
soil culture methods is susceptible
of crop production. i
5 Ty encourage the use of
every conservative practical
method for developing the semi
arid regions of America.'
The people of Crook county are
vitally interested in the success of
the propositions above stated. In
deed, any movement having for
its ultimate object an increase of
the cultivatable area -of the coun
try is obviously of grave concern
to all the people. As . the limita
tions of the reclamation of onr
arid lands by means of irrigation
are brought nearer realization, the
necessity for the general adoption
of a system, or systems, of scien
tific soil culture that, shall bring
under cultivatisn the immense
areas of land for which no water
can be obtained, save such as falls
in the shape of snow or rain, be
comes more and more urgent and
important. That this can be done
profitably has already been demon
strated by the accomplishments of
Burbank, Campbell and other in
dividuals and by the results of the
work of the state and national ex
periment stations
We are convinced that the suc
cess of the dry, or arid farming
movement, as represented by this
Congress, is of greater importance
than either . irrigation or swamp
drainage, for the reason that the
extent of country subject to re
demption is infinitely greater in
the former than in the latter cases
combined. .
" But, whether this i? wholly true
or not, the fact is ni- irent that
coming session is irught with
much interest to the citizen of the
arid states.
Taking In The Town
J. W. Robinson, reported to be
the "whole thing" at Madras, a
small town in Eastern Oregon, is
being trailed around by Attorney
McCann, who is seeking an oppor
tunity to attach his person, under
Oregon code provitions, if the law
yer succeeds, Robinson will be the
second man in Portland im
prisoned under this provision of
the code says the Telegram.
' Robinson, it is alleged, rode in
an automobile from midnight un
til 5 o'clock this morning, being
taken through the red light dis
trict and other parts of the city.
He proffered $2.50 in payment.
W. L. Payson, the chauffeur, de
manded the schedule price of $25
for the five hours. It was re
fused. Thereupon Payson had
Robinson " arrested on a charge of
"abusive language. He was re
leased on $30 cash bail, whereupon
Attorney McCann at once camped
on his trail.
