Potato Growers
Should Organize
Organized effort pays in any
business. All concerns handling
tho products of the farm are or
ganized and it is to the interest
not only of the country itself but
of tho individual producer that
those interested in the production
of the marketable potato get to
gether and work for the protection
of the potato demanded by the
market In paying quantities and for
the locating of the liest markets
and tho delivery of these potatoes
to those markets as a profit to the
producer.
A solid organization of the potato
growers of Central Oregon la
necessary for tho success of this
section, and for the individual
growers of this section as a potato
growing country. This fall is the
time for the starting of such an
organization, most csiwcially be
cause good seed is necessary for
successful potato growing and that
good seed must be obtained as the
potatoes are harvested and that
good seed is available in this section
this year. Although this has been
a very unfavorable season for
potatoes and the crop is compara
tively short, our experience in
former years and the results ob
tained by several potato growers
this year proves beyond question
that we have here a potato country.
Our experience in the past in the
matter of marketing our potatoes
has proven that indiscriminate
planting and harvesting and unor
ganized marketing of the potatoes
we grow is not profitable. The
potatoes grown by the growers who
have taken pains in the selection of
their seed and in the growing of
the crop and in the harvesting of
that crop prove that potatoes in
demand on the market can be pro
duced. AH that is now necessary
for putting Eastern Oregon on the
map as a potato country and for
obtaining a good market for our
potatoes is for the potato growers
in this section to get together and
work together for the selection and
planting of best seed of marketable
varieties, for the best methods of
preparing the land and planting the
crop, for best methods of cultiva
tion and watering, for best methods
of harvesting and grading and for
placing the best marketable pota-
toes on the best markets. With
such an organization shipping and
recommending only clenn, first-class
potatoes from their section of the
country, only one or two years will
be required to place us on the map
as a responsible, reliable potato
country and the markets will al
ways look us up and pay us the
price for our potatoes.

Withycombe Next
Governor of Oregon
I'ortland, Ore., Nov. D. Dr. Jas.
Wlthycombe has received a plurality
for governor probably larger than
over given a candidate for that office
In the Btate. It will range above
itO.OOO if the present ratios are con
tinued. Oeorgo K. Chamberlain is elected
to the UnitedStates Senate by a
large plurality over It. A. Booth,
his Republican opponent , If the
ratios are not changed in the com
plete returns it may reach 18,000.
On the state and supreme court
tickets the Republican candidates
have been easy winners. Justices
Bean and McBride have been re
elected, and Judgft Harris and Judge
Benson obtain the other two places.
Judge Galloway is fifth In the con
test, but without hope of edging
out any of the four leaders, and
Judge Ramsey is sixth.
For the office of attorney general
George M. Brown has been elected
over John A. Jeffrey, his Demo
cratic opponent, by a vote which is
two to one outside Multnomah
(Dunty. Thomas H. Kay also has
been re-elected over B, Lee Paget
by a large majority.
There has been a tremendous pro
test against the abuse of the initi
ative. Every measure except two
seems to have been defeated, some
of them by a vote as high as six to
one.
Only prohibition and the amend
ment changing the qualifications of
voters have pulled through, but
both of those have received large
majorities.
Oregon has spoken for a dry state
with an emphatic voice. The ma
jority in favor of the amendment, it
is now indicated, will go higher
than 30,000.
With the exception of Multnomah
every county in the state has given
a majority for the amendment, un
less preliminary returns are grossly
deceiving.
Senate and House
Still Democratic
Washington, Nov. 4. On the
basis of the returns at midnight, the
senate of the sixty-fourth congress
will reman in Democratic control by
an increased majority. There is un
certainty regarding Nevada, but the
indications are that the new senate
will consist of 52 Democrats, 42 Re
publicans and one Progressive. Sen
ator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
appears from the late returns to
have defeated James M. Moyle,
Dem-Prog. Senator Newlands, of
Nevaea, seemed in danger of losing
his seat to Samuel Piatt, Republican.

LANDSLIDE CARRIES
HIRAM JOHNSON IN
San Francisco. Scattored returns
received from all parts of the state
Indicated the following net results of
Tuesday's general election
Governor Johnson (Prog.) has won
a re-olnctlon by a plurality that ap
proaches landslide proportions over
Captain John D. Fredericks (Rep.)
with the democratic candidate, John
B. Curtln, a distant third.
Tho vote for United States senator
was so close between James D. Phelan
(Dem,) and Joseph It, Knowland
(Hep.) as to make a forecast of the
final result a mere hazard. On the
face of early returns, Francis J. He
ney, the progressive candidate, was a
lagging third,
John M. Eshelman (Prog.) has been
elected lieutenant-governor over J. V.
Snyder (Dem.) by a vote that threat
ened ou the scattering count to exceed
two to one.
Two proposed laws In which the in
terest throughout the state was in
tensethat providing for state-wide
prohibition, and the universal eight
hour work day measure have gone
down to overwhelming defeat. Seem
ingly prohibition has lost by almost
two to one, while the margin of vic
tory for the opponents of the eight
hour law Is much greater.
Distinguished Visitor
in Town Last Week
Prof. Frederick Starr, the noted
author and traveler, called on M. E,
Brink in this city last week.
Prof. Starr occupies the position
of professor of archaeology In the
Chicago University and for many
years has been carrying on exten
sive researches in Japan and Mexico
He had Intended to return to Japan
this fall but owing to the war in
which that nation became involved,
it was considered impractical to try
to do any work In that country this
year. Similar conditions prevailed
in Mexico, so the professor decided
to make a tour of the Northwest.
The work he has undertaken in
Japan will require several years in
fulfillment. He expects to return
there as soon as conditions permit.
The professor is of the opinion
that most of the carvings found in
Mexico are not a written language
and have little historic value, al
though the dates of some of the
Mexican ruins have been deciphered.
He will return to Chicago shortly
and resume his work in the univer
sity.

guests, showered Miss Helen with
handkerchiefs. J he surprise was
complete. The guests arrived at
7:15 which prevented the young
hostess from going to the Lyric.
Mrs. Elkins, as is her custom
had planned so well that the guests
were busy all the time. The Edison
phonograph furnished music for
dancing and during the intervals
between games, impersonations,
guessing contests, testing late in
various ways and progressive eats
ending with punch and cake at 11,
finished an evening voted the best
ever by the crowd.

FRIENDSHIPS.
May the law uf Sal lust always
remain engraved on the heart of
your king. "Not with the help
of armies nor treasures do king
doms continue to flourish, but
with the help of friends, and
these cannot be gained by force
nor bought with gold; they are
won by acts of kindness and by
faithfulness." And, moreover,
"It Is necessary always to live
In unity with one's own; by con
cord the smallest things become
great, whilst by discord the
greatest are reduced to nought"
Let him remember the example
of M. Agrlppa, who thought
much of this precept which alone
may make of your royal master
a good brother, a good comrade,
a good friend, a good king. Next
to God let nothing be dearer to
blm than friendships. Let blm
always implicitly trust the man
he once found worthy of his
friendship and, according to the
advice of Seneca, let blm prove
his friends in all things, but take
care first to prove himself also.
Slow In contracting
friendships, let hlro be even
more Blow in breaking them
asunder and. If possible, never
let him do so. Petrarch,
The earth being a ball we must ex
pect to fiud some bounce in the world.
If you want to avoid being annoyed

BIRTHDAY OF POSTAL CARD;
PUBLIC FORCED ADOPTION.
Firt lud Forty-fiv Yr Ago by
Auitria A Billisn a Year Our Output,
Forty-five years ago the world's first
postal card wag Issued by the Austrian
! postufllce officials nt Vienna. The Bret
In the I'nlted States appeared four years
later, after public demand forced this
government concession.
The principal official argument against
the postal card was that such on com
mmiieatlou offered an excellent oppor
tunity for the writer of libel to exer
cise his nefarious work. Official oppo
sition met with popular clamor In other
countries, and various were the meth
ods to force governments to follow Aus
tria's lead.
An English army officer In India,
where he missed the postal card he
had become accustomed to In England,
forced the Indian government to capit
ulate. The government bad claimed
there was no popular demand for postal
cards. , The officer set out to demon
strate that there was. He bad postal
cards bearing bis name and rank print
ed and used them entirely for his own
correspondence, Inducing his friends to
follow his example. The officer was
ordered to discontinue this practice,
lie replied that If be chose to write
messages ou a piece of cardboard In
stead of on sheets of paper the author
ities could not compel him to inclose
the card in an envelope. The legal ad
visors of the government sustained
. blm.
I Today the postal card Is universal.

)J(l0 government postal cards are issued
annually. The American people are
spending about $10,000,000 a year for
postal cards.
Two rotary presses, each capable of
printing, cutting and distributing the
postal cards Into packages of twenty-
five each package, hound with a paper
band, are turning them out at the max
imum rate of 4,000,000 every working
day of eight hours.
LUNATICS' TABLE MANNERS.
Chronio Madman Hav a Lively Dinner
Party a Gueat of lllinoi.
The state of Illinois gave 220 mani
acs a dinner at the Asylum For the
Insane in Kankakee: The feast was
intended to show the good effects of
the gradual elimination of restraint
Without chains, straps or guards 220
occupants of cottages Noe. 4 and 12
found themselves at liberty on the
lawn In a distant part of the hospital
grounds.
The sane guests will not soon forget
that dinner. As soon as the first
course was put on the tables a mad
man smashed a plate of soup on his
neighbor's head. With course No. 2
a diner brought a heavy mug down on
the head of the patient next to him.
With course No. 3 a patient who was
reading a newspaper upside down
aroused the anger of a neighbor and
was knocked lu a heap. An Imbecile
ran up mid down beside the table
choo-chpoing in Imitation of a locomo
tive. All the disturbers were marshal
ed back to their cottages In safety after
the dinner.
"These men are the most violent and
unreliable chronic maniacs In Illinois,"
said Dr. Fish. "Aside from the pleas
ure the outing undoubtedly gives these
men after so ninny years' restraint the
Innovation has a therapeutic effect
which is desirable."

Dr. A. Dastri has jiven details to the
French Academy of Medicine of the
successful use of a powerful electro

of steel and even rltle bullets. One
such employed by Professor Rollet drew
to the surface fragments Imbedded to
a depth of six Inches and bullets two
and a quarter inches.
Other members have advised that sol
diers In the present war wear specially
prepared paper underclothes to prevent
cold, such as have beeu successfully
used by the Japanese.
