It is generally coucelod there will be no county ticket recommended in Clackamas. It is even regarded as doubtful it, 65 delegates will be eloc ted to ropreseut Clackamas county in the state assembly, for there are many delegates in the oouuty assembly who will tight any attempt to soud delegates to Portland, although the county as sembly has been called specifically for that purpose by the republican county central committee. Returns are available from 10 of the 43 precincts of the county, aud they preseut a wide difference "of opinion and furnish much food for speculation as to the nrobabloattitude of the as sembly. In Milwaukie. six delegates were elooted aud instructed by resolu tion to antagonize any movement look ing to the nomination ot a county tic ket. At Beaver Creek the delegates were instructed by a vote of 7 to 12 to oppose sending delegates to the Btate assembly, and all of the Bix di 1 egates will be against the nomination of a nonutyjtioki-t. In Arerm thy jro oiuct, where Parkplace is loca.ed, all of the delegates are oppos-d to the hb semhly in anv foini, and will vole against sending dclog(i 'n Jtlio state, assembly. The Ciineuiah dMegatns are all opposod to sending delegates to Portland and are also aeainst ti e re commendation of a county tickot. In new urn iwo oeiogaten ravor both pro positions and two ate against them. At Clackamas the entire dBlenatmn is against both propositions. Gladstone adoptod a resolution by a vote of 12 to 4, instructing the do legates to favor the nomination of a conuty tic-iet. Twenty-five republic ans were present aud 10 voted ou the resolution. Among the delogates, however, is E. P. Carer, who is known to be an anti-assembly man. The delegation from West Oregon Oily will not favor a oouuty ticket, unless there is a demand lrom the oouutry for it, but will favor the sug gestion to send delegates to the state assembly. The delegates from Oregon City No. 1 favor Bonding delegates to the state assemblr, aud it is known that Bix of the delegates are opposed r,o ine recommendation ot a tickot by the county assembly. Tin re were 12 present at the precinct primaries and 11 delegates were ohoson. In Oregon City No. 2, the largest precinct i,n the county, 14 delogates were elected and it is understood that a majority of them tfre assembly men. In Oregon City No 2 thore were seven voters prepont aud n'ue delegates were elected. It is stated that all of them are opposed to the nomination of a county ticket, bnt favor sending del egates to the state assembly The delegates so far rcpoitod nre as follows: Abernethv E. R.

The committee has arranged for the trains to stop at the fair grounds. land, when Louis Jaggor, a former Clackamas county man, ot late a prom inment commission man of Portland, who was returning in his touring car from a fishing trip. Behind him in another car were Mr. aud Mis. Mar haid aud Mr. and Mrs. Eruost Sigler. For some time the two machines kept a short distance apart, hut finally itis said, tho second oar came alongside tire Jaggor machine. They were run ning almost abreast when they came to dangerous turn in the road. A collision seemed iuevitable. In try ing to avert it and save the other auto, Jngger swerved his car to one side of the road, The twist he gave the steering wheel Bent the heavy car ou over the slight embankment at the sido of the road, and as it plunged to the bottom it, orashed nguiust a board fence built at the roadside. In tho unexpectedness of the disas ter and pinioned between his steering wheel aud the seat, Juggor ooukl not lift a hand to save himself. As the big machine crashed against, tho ob struction, his head struck a heavy board with terrillo impact. The blow fiactnred his skull aud tore away part of his scalp, leaving him limp and unconscious and resulted in his death. Clifford Fouos is critically ill at St. Vincent's Hospital. Mrs. Louis Jaggor and Mrs. Clifford Fones received slight injuries.
