I IS IN CONTROL AT SALEM MORE THAN 50 MEMBERS OF LEG ISLATURE PLEDGED TO VOTE FOR CHAMBER- LAIN. At least 50 members of the n; it Legislature will l,o pledged to support Chamberlain for United StuteB Sen ior. With Senator Kny. of Marlon, and Representative Honebrako of Hen ton Included (both conditionally pledg ed), the state one members will num ber 52. Of thi'Ho 13, and possibly II are- Democrats, and 38 or 39 Repub licans. Governor Chamberlain, Democrat, has carried the state of Oregon for United States Senator over II. M. Cake, Republican, by a majority rnng lug from 1000 to 1200. Returns from all the counties are nearly enough complete to loavo no question of the result. Chamberlain has been success ful In 14 out of tho 33 countle. as follows: linker, Clackamas, Clatsop, Crook, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Marlon, Mult nomah, Polk and Union, and probab ly in Lake. Mr. Cake- has carried the remaining 18 counties, but his nverago plurali ties aro much smaller thun his oppo nents. Hawley, Republican, is elected to Congress In tho First District by 15, OUO or more, and Ellis, Republican, by 15,001) or more in tho Second District. Uoan, Republican, for Supreme Judgo, has a very largo vote, having no oppo sltlon, while llalloy, Republican, for Food and Dairy Commissioner, wins by 25,000 to 30,000. Campbell, Re publican, Is sticoBsful for Railroad Commissioner In the First District, and Attention, Republican, for Rail road Commissioner, for the Second District, has 5000 or more plurality. The Poultry Yard. The deadly louse is at work. Do not expect the stock to thrive without any green food. June Is a hot month ; no not neglect tho supply of fresh water. . Look out for rats. Do uot allow them to have any hiding places uear tho coops. Cut down tho quantity of heating food in the ration, such as corn, and feed plenty of groon stuff. If you give your hens plenty of mixed food, so arranged that they can sort It over, thoy will balance their own ration. Placing slatted racks over the wa ter troughs Is a good way to keep the feBtlve ducks from wasting their drinking water. Put everything drinkable into shal low voHsela. Fix It so that the chicks can drink and Btlll not get their feet into tho water or milk. To keep flies from roosting on the screen door, ready to come in when It Is opened, take a piece of old win dow shade, or else a folded piece of manlla paper as long aa the door is wide and about half a yard wide, and cut into narrow strips to within two Inches of the top, then tack across the top of the door. The gentlest breeze, or the movement of the door when openod, will keep the flies away. Carries Clackamas By 510 tire Republican Ticket Except Greaves and Moody For Sheriff and Assessor. Coventor Chamberlain Ikih carried ClacknrnttB County by 510 voteH. High land wiih tlm luat precinct to come In and kIvoh hlni a majority of 25 over Cnke.

There were about 1500 Republican who did not go to tho pollH at tho Primary nomi nating election who evidently were Chamberlain merit lunt Monday, and It Ih believed that tho Fulton men hero voted for tho party nominee. The voto on CongreBaman probab ly llliiHtrati'H the true party strength rather closely, Hawley obtaining 2329, and Whitney 992. The Republican have elected their full county ticket In Clackamas, with the exception of sheriff and assessor. Hoatlo leadB Greave by 1070 wllb Highland to hear from, and Jack Is elected over Moody by 509, without Highland, Beatlo received 2954, and Greaves 1884, while Jack obtained 2'j78 votes to 21C9 for Moody.

Dlmlck heading tho ticket with 3110, Jones getting 3072, and Cumpbell 2939. Highland Is not ert braced In these figures. Robblns, Democratic candidate for tho legisla ture, ran slightly ahead of hla ticket Gary Iisb beaten J. V. Gray, the In dependent candidate for county school superintendent by a very largo ma jority. Mr. Gary obtained a good vote in Abernethy which Mr. Gray expect ed to have In his pocket, and the pop ular school superintendent carried nearly every precinct. Tom J. Myers, Democratic candidate for coroner, Canby and Southern Clackamas CANBY. Any one who saya Canby is dead ought to be wiped off the map. Ham mers are pounding In all directions, telling of now homes. Business has compelled tho Hank to increase Its force and created a necessity for a 'city lumber ofllco.

McArthur, Republican candi date for Joint RepreKentatlve from Clackama and Multnomah Counties, 1b elected by a largo majority, and car ried Clackamas against A. King Wil son by probobly 800. Although Mc Arthur was not for tSatement No. 1, he received his party vote In nearly every Instance and carried Oswego, which Is Wilson's homo. The incon sistency of many voters Is shown by tho result In Estacada, where Cham berlain won by 37, and McArthur gets tho same majority. Clackamas cast an overwhelming vote Monday duo to the strenuous fight that was made for and against Prohibition. In every precinct crowda of local option people butten-holed tho voters on their approach to the noils and worked every strlnz that i might bring ballots. The dlsagreetble weather that pre vailed nearly all day had no leverage . In keeping voters away from the polls. uauiuctmill B 1I1CUUD were ac tive In his behalf and the Governor has probably carried the county against Cake by 500 votes.
