EXPERIMENT WILL BE MADE
WITH POTATO CROP.
Test To Be Made For Instruction of
Multnomah And Clackamas
County Farmers.
Arrangements have been completed
so that the farmers of Multnomah and
Clackamas counties may see the ad
vantage of spraying their potato crops,
as well as their fruit trees, says the
Gresham Record. The plan as outlin
ed is that ten acres will be planted on
the farm of Charles Cleveland, near
Gresham, ten acres on the farm... of
Charles Risley, near Milwaukie, and
ten acres near New Era. ,, - When the
potatoes have grown wellxalong five
acres of each of the thret 10-acre
tracts will be sprayed, Reaving- five
acres unsprayed. When the harvest
is gathered it will be demonstrated
how much --advantage there is, if any,
to be had in spraying potatoes.
The idea is a new one. J. H. Reid
and others claim the potato crop can
be largely increased, that the potatoes
will be larger and better in every way
as a result of spraying, than without
spraying. The experiment which is
to be undertaken will be an entirely
fair one, and will show by comparison
what the good of spraying potatoes is
and the outcome will be watched with
much interest.
On the 15th of January, an institute
was held in Pleasant Valley, west of
Gresham, near the O. W. P. line. J.
H. Newell, commissioner, and others
were the speakers. This institute was
held by the request of the farmers of
that neighborhood, and for the dissem
ination of useful information.
The Russellville Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, Ray Gill, Master, is consi
dering the matter of erecting a hall.
At . present the mettings are held in
the school house, which, however, is
not desirable.
TELEPHONE LINE IS UP.
Oregon City and Molalla Connected
by M eta lie Circuit. ',.
Molalla, Or., Jan. 16, 1906. This line
has been talked of ever since the or
ganization of the Mutual Telephone
Association here two years ago. At
three ' different meetings of the asso
ciation last year, it was decided to
build this metalic circuit to Oregon
City mutually, provided Beaver Creek
Association did its share also.
Beaver Creek, Carus, Mulino and
Liberal got right in when Molalla gave
the signal and demonstrated the fact
that things seeming gigantic in pro
portions, can be accomplished mutu
ally by "pulling together."
Whenever a person sets his hand
and subscribes to his name to the
membership roll of an association of
people for the purpose of performing
a partnership undertaking, every such
member is honor bound to abide by
the decision of a two-thirds majority.
Every member of an association not
willing for a majority rule, has not
yet learned co-operation, if he insists
to rule on the line of his individual
ideas, and should in justice to himself
widen out on his -views, or quietly
withdraw from the undertaking he is
trying to burden.
"Bear ye one another's burdens,"
may be very applicable, but not all
members have the bearing quality to
shoulder their own load and carry "part
or all of "another's duties.""
A member that chooses to sit, and
sit still, and not move with the asso
ciation's wheels of progress, delightsj
very much in "sitting in his own light
while he talks on the "principle" of
being driven to move on a little, from
the position that he occupied when he
signed the Association's Constitution
and By-Laws, which provide for the
government of such association by
and through a board of directors.
Whenever three-fourths of the mem
bership of any association are ready
to stand by the several acts of its
board of directors through a period of
two years. It is about the best proof
that could be found without wasting
some sleep, and quite a good deal of
hustling about that the will of the
Molalla Mutual Telephone Association
has been carried out about as well as
weak mortals here below could hope
to ever do.
There will be a special meeting of
the association first Monday in Feb
ruary, at 11 o'clock a. m., at which
time the affairs of the association will
be turned over to 15 directors, a rep
resentative for each division line.

LANE COUNTY HOPGROWERS
Will Organize And Endeavor To Ob
tain Favorable Legislation.
A number of Lane County hop-grow
ers will meet at Eugene in a short
time and organize in an effort to ob
tain legislation favorable to the hop
growers of the state.
The plan is to ask for a state hop
inspector to grade all hops, placing
state seal on each bale so that the
plan of robbing growers by some of
the dealers' unscrupulous methods
will be avoided.
The hop growers are being held up
by some buyers now who are evading
the state law of five pounds tare to the
bale because no penalty is attached to
violation of the law.
The growers' object is to stand
together and formulate a similar or
ganization in all hop districts of the
state. Any candidate for the legisla
ture, congress or the U.- S. senate
must pledge himself to the enactment
of laws that will protect the growers.
Any candidate not doing this will be
fought by those interested in Oregon's
leading industry.
A plan is suggested to show just how
the grower is worked on rejected hops
Every grower in the state will be cal
led upon to give the name of the buyer
who bough or attempted to buy his
hops and how he-worked or attempted
to work the rejection racket and .'as
as to how may hops were rated better
than the sample.
In every way will this association
work to defeat every candidate for
the legislature, congress or the XJ. S.
senate who refuses to obtain neces
sary rights for the growers.
An appeal will be made to all the
hop pickers, yard men, dryers and the
general public, and there is no doubt
but what Lane county will vote
against any man who opposes one of
our large industries.
WOULD PLEDGE LEGISLATORS.
Judge McBride Gives His Interpreta
tion of Direct Primary.
"I am distinctly in favor of exact
ing from every legislative candidate
a pledge to vote for the candidate hav
ing a plurgjity of votes for United
States Senator," said Circuit Judge
T. A. McBride in an interview with the
Oregonian in discussing this import
ant feature of the Direct Primary Nom
inating Law.
"I was one of the committee that
framed the Direct Primary Law and
in our circular soliciting votes N for
that measure, we stated our inter
pretation of its effect in these words:
'The Legislature will simply ratify
the people's choice for senator in much
the same way that the President is
elected.' -
"The Primary Law was adopted
with this understanding. When the
people almost unanimously voted for
it they believed that one decisive step
had been taken towardhe election of
United States Senators by the people
and no man should be elected to the
coming Legislature who is not willing
to pledge himself absolutely to rati
fy the people's choice.
"It is suggested that by making such
a pledge a Democratic member might
be placed in a position where he
would be compelled to support a Re
publican, for United States Senator, or,
perchance. a Republican member
I might have to support a Democrat.
Well, if the people choose a Democrat,
iur oeuaiui, lueii aei vauia ju luc leg
islature ought to ratify and give effect
to that choice and if they select a
Republican Senator. Democratic mem
bers ought to do the same. This is
the logical effect and true intent of
the Direct Primary Law and just what
the voters intended when they adopted
it and just what the framers of the
law intended when it was drawn.
The question now is, shall the law
be upheld and shall prospective candi
dates be compelled to uphold it or
shall we be treated to the usual forty
days' scramble over the election of a
United States Senator after the vot
ers of the state have distinctly indi
cated their choice at the polls?
"I am in favor of pledging every
candidate and making the pledge une
quivocal and distinct." - - '

OUTLINE NEW PLANS
Oregon Editors Meet in Annua!
Session
WILL REQUIRE MORE
; PATENT MEDICINE
PAY
N
ADS.
FOR
Politicians Will. Also Be Expected To
Pay for Publicity New
- Officers.
From this forth the patent-medicine
man of the effete East, who has been
accustomed to buy advertising space
in the country weeklies of Oregon for
any old price his conscience would
aUow and the editor's crying necessi
ties force him to accept, will find him'
self up against the real -thing in the
matter of rates and charges. From
this day forth, likewise, the needy
country publisher will cease to cut
his esteemed contemporary's throat.
metaphorically speaking, for the pur
pose of securing the county printing.
And last, but not least, henceforth
the leading citizen who aspires to hold
public office will find the rural jour
nalist's time-honored practice of giv
ing free puffs as extinct as the dodo,
-The politician hereafter will be com
pelled to pay for all publicity he re
ceives through the columns of the lo
cal newspapers at commercial rates,
nor will the acceptance of such paid
political advertising bind the news
paper to support the candidate who
foots the bill.
This, in substance, is what was re
solved upon by the weekly newspaper
editors and publishers of the state at
the closing session of the annual con
vention of the Oregon Press Associa
tion Saturday afternoon. .The meet
ing was the largest and most enthus
iastic in the history of the associa
tion, and though many other matters
and things of importance to the craft
were said and done, the formation of
a rock-ribbed combination to fix and
maintain rates for the publication of
foreign advertising, legal notices and
political announcements was the most
important thing accomplished.
The following report of the commit
tee on uniform rates was adopted:
,Tc the President' and Members of
the Oregon Press Association : Your
committee appointed to consider the
maimer' of foreign arid political adver
tising respectfully submits the follow
ing recommendations:
That the law regulating the publica
tion' of County Court proceedings be
amended so as to fix a minimum com
pensation of 25 cents per inch.
That all contracts for foreign ad
vertising be made through the adver
tising agent of the Oregon Press As
sociation at the rates fixed by the as
sociation; and that, in counties where
members of the association compete
with papers that are not members of
the association, this organization
pledges to its members its full protec
tion, and all complaints on this sub
ject must be taken up and vigorously
acted upon by the officers of the ' as
sociation, the advertising agent to be
allowed per cent commission, to
be paid by the publishers.
All papers (members of this asso
ciation) shall enter into a written
agreement with the advertising agent
to abide by all contracts entered into
Kir ,1 np nnnnn;n !
tion; and we recommend that all mem-
bers of the association file with the :
advertising agent their list of con
tracts for foreign advertising now - in
effect.
We recommend that all members of
the Oregon Press Association discon
tinue the allowance to the publishers
of ready prints for advertising space','
being fully assured that the profit on
such advertising, to say nothing of the
additional news space, will more than
compensate the publisher for any in
creased price that may be charged for
their .patents, especially in view of the
fact that this association proposes to
protect its members. j
Resolutions vere also adopted de
claring for the elimitation of the term
"Webfoot;" indorsing the direct pri
mary, a strict observance of which
together with that of all other laws
adopted by the people and their rep
pesentatives was recommended, in the
belief that all such measures are en
titled to a full and fair trial.
The. following new standing com
mittees were announced, at the close of
the session:

CANDIDATE
FOR REPRESENTA
TIVE. '
Oregon City, Oregon, Jan. 17, 1906.
To the Editor:
George Randall, who will be a can
didate for the nomination for Repres
entative on the Republican ticket
at the Primary election in April, was
born in Wiltsshire County, England,
in 1841. Early forming a dislike for a
monarch iaJ form of government, at the
age of 16, he bade farewell to his na
tive land and came to free America.
He crossed the ocean as a cabin boy
and landed in Connecticut without a
dollar. Here he soon secured employ
ment in a woolen mill and learned the
wool manufacturing business. He
worked at his trade for about nine
years, then left for the West.
Mr. Randall came to Oregon in 1867,
and bought 200 acres of - wild land
about four and a half miles south west
of Oregon City, among rocks- and
stumps. . Before coming here he had
had no experience in farming: had
never taken hold of a plow handle.
By the strictest economy, hard labor,
a strong will power, and a determina
tion to succeed, he has made his farm
one of the best in the country.-
Mr. Randall has followed diversified
farming. He has also been very suc
cessful in producing a high grade of
hops which have brought him large
returns.
At the Clackamas County exhibit
he won three prizes: 1st on hops; 2d
on wheat and 3d on oats. He exhibit
ed a great number of farm products
during the Lewis and Clark Fair. He
won three prizes and honorable men
tion on a number of other products.
Mr. Randall is a progressive, up-to-
date farmer. He farms his farm in
modern ways. As a result, he has
prospered; has extensive property in
terests, and is one of the heaviest tax
payers in Clackamas County.
He was married in 1862 to Mary Ann
Freestone, raised an interesting family
of six children. All but one are col
lege graduates. He is a charter mem
ber of Warner Grange. Takes a keen
interest in all of its work. Always
ready to take part in all discussions
pertaining to" the advancement of "the
farmer.
Mr. Randall has always been a Re
publican in politics, casting his first
vote for Abraham Lincolnr He says
if nominatecjand elected he will ad
vocate and work for laws compelling
railroad companies to furnish seats
for passengers and sufficient cars for
the traffic; laws providing for the in
spection and control of private bank
ing institutions in Oregon. Favors the
repeal of the present law regarding
the burning of slashings ; will work
for a. law for the just taxation of ex
trio and nrivato mrnnratinna and rnm- I
panies. He believes in giving the di- I
rect primary law a thorough test and
will otnnri W th fnllnlnr n10H-
by the following pledge:
"I further state to the people of
Oregon as well as to the people of
inwiAini;Ir. -i;. . 4.1. .j :
term of office, I will vote for that can-
didate for United States Senator in
Congress who has received the high
est number of the people's votes for
that position at the general election
next preceding th elction of a Sena
tor in Congress without regard to my
individual preference."
Mr. Randall if elected will work im
partially for the interests of both -the
laboring and farming classes. He says
he will try and conduct himself in a
way that upon his return, he can look
his constituency square in the face,
and that they may well say, "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant."
W. W. H. SAMSON.
"It was almost a miracle. Burdock
Blood Bitters cured me of a terrible
breaking out all over the body. I am
very grateful." Miss Julia Filbridge,

WHY NOT REGISTER
To This Date Only Few Voters Have
. Registered
OF 4500 ELECTORS ONLY 477
i v HAVE QUALIFIED.
To Participate
Voters Must
i Primary Election
Register Before
April 10th.
Monday evening only 477 voters of
a total strength of perhaps 4500 in
Clackamas county had registered.
This is a poor showing considering
that the registration books have been
open for two weeks.
Voters should realize the import
ance of registering. Failure to regis
ter and declare your party affilia
tion before April 10th means that
you forfeit your right to participate in
the primary election that is to be
held in April. Voters should lose no
time but register at once. Since you
must register, the service might just
as well be performed first as last.
