JUDGE CAMPBELL
IS FAVORITE IN
JUDICIAL RACE
IMLKM Oct. l9l'ollthal wutehmid
about tbe State Cnpttol e a splendid
chance for Juago J, U. Unmpbull to
don the woolsack and for Clackamas
county to be rc-preumtud on the Su
preme Bench.
In tunny way the caiitllducy of
Justice Olaon la not taken seriously
her. Ha wilt receive small aupport In
Marlon county, If comment board
ara any criterion a to the roault.
JikIk Coke will not be acvorded Dour
ly tbe lupport that will be given . to
Judge Campbell, and It la believed
that Judge Campbell will receive the
llon'n ahare of Oil county' mpport
Judge Kelly wa tbe favorite bore
In the primaries. Ill defeat hua not
left any particular warm a pot for
Judge Coke and people generally are
Inclined to favor the Cluckamu coun
ty man.
Another thing that will militate In
favor of Judge Campbell la the fact
that Judge Jtyan wa defeated for the
abate troaa.iremhlp In the primaries.
11 I certain that many Marlon couu
ty people voted for Judge Ilyan large
ly on the atrength of the fact that
they believed Clackama county I
entitled to repreaontutlon In a major
atato office. Clackuina county hue
nut been ao represented for many
yeara,
Judge Campbell la alao peraonally
known In many part of the county.
Many of thoae thing hold true In
other part of the atate, and politic
ian declare that the altuutlon 11
favorable for b'lm, although the iiecea
ally of writing In the name on the bal
lot make the roault of the election
a rather grave problem.

he hold that It la not neceaaary for
the voter to plac an X lxfore the

yesterday filed suit for $10,000 dam
agea against It. L. Badger, well known
farmor of the same section of Clacka
mas County.
Morehouse charges defamation of

Hollander and Fred Hughea on August
9 Inst.
It Is allegod by Morehouse that
Badger said ho did not boltove that

find any record of their marrlnge or
marriage license, and that a party
held at the Morehouse home was an
Immoral affair, or words to that effect
Morehouse says these utterances
caused him great mental suffering and
humiliation.

"Mr. Lawrence Ferguson,
New Era, Oregon.
"Dear Brother Larry:
"My soldier boy, Jamie, came back
a week ago this afternoon looking
not bad, but although a physical
wreck. He can walk quite well on a
reasonably level road, but bis wooden
leg is a poor affair In brush or going
down or up a hill. His lungs are heal
ed up, but as the shell " fragment
are In there yet, I expect that our cold,
raw wea.-er will affect them. He can
use hi arm, which was paralyzed
but It gets numbed with cold weather.
His face looks quite natural, but he
has several hole In his side where
pieces were cut out to graft Into hi
face, where pieces were torn out of
It. He certainly got a bad smashing,
and It wa only by his nigged con
stitution and determination to pull
through that brought him back to
Canada again.
"We can seldom get bim to speak
of his experience, but when he does
speak It proves that war is hell all
right. For Instance after the Cana
dians took hill 10 on August 15 last
year, dead Germans were left lying
around everywhere with dogs, cows
and rate eating them. Other places
when working their way up to a Ger
man position they had to crawl from!
one shell to another on their stomachs
over decayed bodies, and a German
must be pretty rotten to prevent them
rolling him over' to get his cake of
chocolate, which every German gets.
The German chocolate is much better
than ours.

was pushed up the 17th and the oth

retired. The Germans counterattack
ed on the 19th, 21st and 23rd, but were
driven back.
"It was on the. 21st that Jamie's
regiment met them with bomb, rifle
and bayonet. Jamie was an expert
bomb thrower, and had gotten In some
good work when he went down. As
ho jumped .up he noticed that his
shoe was not with him, but In the
excitement he didn't look to see the
reuson. In a minute more a bomb ex
ploded, which 'UUnked' him out for a
few minutes. When he recovered con
sciousness, he found six or seven
men lying on top of him, and the yell
ing, cursing and fighting was going
on. He made up his mind that he
would not give up, and wrigled him
self out from under the others and
started crawling away. He did not
know where over dead and wound
ed men. Every little while he would
'blink' out, and then become conscious
again, and crawl a little further and
coughing blood from his lungs each
breath, when the ambulance men got
him, but he did not reach the clear
ing hospital for a day and a half, and
for seven days he was unconscious,
and the only thing that he seemed to
remember of the seven days was that
some one wanted him to lie down
and he said that he would not without
a rifle and cartridge belt. The nurses
told him that when he 'was raving he

rifle and belt.

Julius Koettgen, director of the
"Friends of German Democracy" in

for the Socialist newspaper of Berlin,
Vorwaerts, made this statement today
as his "conservative estimate of the
effect of President Wilson's note on

to understand accurately the political
pulse of Germany.
"The German people will read and

gene, . ct. 23. The Secretary of War
has directed commanding officers of
the Students' Army Training Corps
throughout the country to report to
Washington, D. C. the number of men
eligible for admission to Central Offi
cers' Training schools.
There are no longer any percentage

from headquarters by Colonel Bowen.
Candidates for the infantry will be ac

Mrs. E. R. McGahuey, who has been
at Brewster, Wash., for the past six
weeks, returned to Oregon City Wed
nesday morning, after a most delight
ful visit with her son, Clarence, fore
man of a large apple orchard. The trip
to Brewster at this time of the year
is most interesting, where the harvest
ing of apples and shipping them to
eastern cities is now in progress.
Brewster is beautifully situated on
the Columbia river, and much of the
land is irrigated. It lies 65 miles from
Wenatchee, Wash., beyond Seattle.
The trip over the Cascade mountains
Is a most scenic one, many mountains
are bare, while others have a sprink
ling of snow in the distance, for the
nights in that section are becoming
chilly, and the first light frost occur
red about a week ago In the moun
tainous section.
The growers are pleased over the
crop of apples this year, and the pack
ing houses are doing a rushing busi
ness. One packing house has 150 pack
ers who are busily engaged in sorting
and packing the apples and sending
them to their destination. There are
three grades of apples when they are
sorted, the extra fancy, fancy and
grades. The grades are the culls and
sold much more reasonable than the
fancy. The extra fine are those with
the coloring two-thirds round the ap
ple, and hundreds of boxes of such ap
ples are harvested this year. There
is a big demand for these in the East
ern market, and several thousand box
es have already been sent out from
that country. .
Many women are coming to the res
cue in harvesting this year's apple
crop, and it is a very common sight
to see the women attired in the khaki
trousers and flannel shirts with high
top boots. Some of these women have
become as efficient of the men in pick
ing and packing the aples, and from
now on this will be a woman's work
as well as for men.
Among the varities that are of
good yield this year are the "Delici
ous," tne Jonatnans, winesaps. Ham-
win and Spitzenburg, besides other
varities.
