COUNTY POLITICS The primaries some six months away and considerable talk about the various political offices seem to indicate that there will be more than the usual interest in the election for the year 1916. Two very important factors enter into the coming campaign. One is the matter of the division of Crook county. Should the county be divided at the November election next year, what will at that time perhaps be seventy percent of the total vote of the present county will be in the territory that will betaken to make the new county. In other words, the balance of power in the coming election will rest largely with a people that may not be residents of the county after election. According to this law, these peo ple will have a voice in these mat ters, although they be cut off from the old county at the same election. The second factor referred to above, is that the large percentage of the votes for the entire county will be made up of new people that will become residents of the Bend . district between this date and the date of the November election. These people will perhaps pay more attention to party politics than the ordinary voter who has been a resi dent for a longer period of time, and this may be felt in the result at this election. Whatever else may be said, the fact that there is so much talk at this time about the various offices to be filled would seem to indicate ; that the campaign will start early and be a lively one. AMERICAN TENDENCIES Professor Oopor, who by the way has been blind since childhod, has been delivering a series of lec tures in this city concerning the growing tondenccy in America and other countries which have reached the higher state of civiliza tion, asserts that the average Ameri can has his mind developed to great er degree than the body, and points to the dangers that naturally ac company such conditions. He advises more outdoor excer cises for the school children, and says that physical culture of the right kind is of the greatest importance. j While this condition applies most particularly in the cities, no doubt the small towns and country schools j as well should heed the advice of this, and other able thinkers in this i matter. ing the Columbia River, and we will clear the whole tract this coming year, using unemployed men for the work. Our plan thus not only pro vides a home for h jmeless boys, but it gives work to workless men in addition to bringing under cultiva tion a large area of dormant land. Judge Cleeton of the Juvenile court is active in the nutter in Port land, and county judges all over the state are being requested to assist in the sale of the bonds. Investors are taking them up readily as they combine ral charity with sound business. The treasurer of the home is C. B. Woodworth of Ladd & Tilton rank of Portland, and we will be pleased to receive payment for bonds and issue them to investors. m 7se better Jtourf 9k At Your Grocer's $ - : n s Ask Judge Springer About Th.'s To the Editor: You have probably noticed among the recent incorpora- I of the Junior Agricultural college and Trade School. That body was organized to provide a real home for the orphans and homeless boys from all parts of Oregon, and to so train them that they will become useful citizens. The school is endorsed by the most responsible people in Port land, all agreeing that such an in stitution is urgently needed. One feature of our plan is unique. We are not asking for one dollar of charity money, and the directors and the management are giving their services absolutely free. We are rais ing the necessary money just as a railroad does when it sets out to build a new line. We are issuing ten dollar bonds for the money, these bonds being fully secured by real estate, running for ten years and j bearing cumulative ineterest at the ' rate of fivejper cent a year.
