DALLAS, Or., Sept. 2. The conven
tion of the Oregon Rural . Lettercar
riers Association, held in this city
yesterday and today, adjourned this
afternoon at 1 o'clock. The associa
tion will meet one year from now at
Oregon City. Practically all delegates
have left the city .leaving on the aft
ernoon Portland and Salem trains.
The work of the convention con
sisted in reading committee reports.
The order of unfinished business was
also taken up. After adjournment at
9 o'clock last night the carriers were
entertained at the Star Theatre by the
Dallas postoffice officials. A smoker
constituted a part of the entertain
ment. There was also an interesting
program.
Promptly at 8 o'clock this morning
the session opened and the regular
order of business proceeded. The re
ports of the president, the secretary
and the National delegate were read
and all accepted. V
On motion, the rules were declared
suspended and the present officers of
the association were re-elected by ac
clamation with' the exception of Na
tional delegate. The contest over Na
tional delegate was keen. The privi
lege of representing the local associa
tion at the annual convention of the
National Association of Rural Letter
carriers is the most sought-for po
sition. President Kraxberger and Sec
retary Boyd of the Oregon Associa
tion, were both mentioned for this po
sition and could hava.secured it by ac
clamation, but both declined for the
reason set forth by them that they
had already served in that (ipacity
and they believed the office should be
passed around.
Three men were placed in nomina
tion for this office: James E. Loop, of
McMinnville; C. W. Levee, of Corval
lis, and Archie Parker, of Independ
ence. Five ballots were taken before
Mr. Levee secured the necessary ma
jority to elect. Mr. Levee has been a
member of the association for a consid
erable length of time, has always tak
en an active interest in its work and
has shown himself fitted for the im
portant position to which he has been
elected.
The contest over the next conven
tion city was keen between McMinn
ville and Oregon City. The organiza
tion of the Oregon City delegation was
too strong to be overcome and Oregon'
City won on the first ballot by a sub
stantial majority.
During the morning session today

sume more than two days ' - ;
Mr. Schnoerr was indicted by the
Grand Jury just after he was nominat
ed at the Primary Election, upon com
plaint of Chris Schuebel, who was al
so a candidate for the legislature and
who, during the campaign, is said to
have attacked Mr. Schnoerr, charging
him with being allied with the corpor
ations and being pushed forward with1-!
the main object of defeating Schuebel
for the Republican nomination. This
assertion Mr. Schnoerr indignantly re
sented with a newspaper advertise
ment published a few days before the
date of the Primary Election, in which
he made charges that incensed Schue

Grand Jury with his political troubles
and an indictment followed.

Many a Bad Cold
The fall days are here with their steady cold,
drizzly rains which bring on bad colds and de
velop pneumonia.
And you want to be prepared for them, don't
put off getting an umbrella until later, or the
first thing you know you'll wake up some
gloomy morn and find a steady, soaking down
pour of rain has blown up during the night.
Grab Father Time by the forelock and get the
umbrella today.
Also please bear in mind that for a birthday
gift or as a remembrance an umbrella is appro
priate, and also very serviceable.
Drop into our store and make a selection from

WILLAMETTE MAN THINKS
, CLACKAMAS COUNTY WILL
WIN FIRST PRIZE
EXHIBIT FINER THAN EVER BEFORE
Weather Condition First Day Good
And Large Crowd Attends
Labor Unions Have
Place Of Honor
"I think Clackamas County will taka
first prize this year," said George De
Bok, of Willamette, who returned
from Salem Monday evening. Mr. De
Bok assisted O. E. Freytag, E. P. Car
ter, Ralph McGetchie and W. E. Niles
in arranging the exhibit.
"The display js a credit to the
county," continued Mr. DeBok, "and
if it does not win the prize I shall
be very much mistaken. Benton coun
ty which won the prize last year also
has a fine display, but I think ours is
superior. The judging will start to
morrow, and I think before tomorrow
night news will be received here of
victory. The exhibit, which is much
larger than last year, could be made
even larger if there was more room.4
We learned that there was 5,000
pounds of fruits and vegetables at
Sherwood awaiting shipment. But the
bungalow is filled now. The juvenile
exhibition at the fair is really a fair
in itself. I never saw anything like
it, and it reflects much credit upon the
children."
- Mr. DeBok will return to Salem to
morrow. SALEM, Or., Sept. 2 Under a
leadcolored sky but with the heavier
clouds breaking away at noon and the
sun in evidence at times, the fifty-first
annual State Fair opened here today
without a hitch in the program and
with a large crowd in attendance.
During the night a heavy rain fell and
the day broke with a drizzle and 'a
threatening sky. As it advanced, how
ever, the sky began to assume a brigh
ter aspect, and by noon everything
pointed to a rainless day with assur
ances of more or less sunshine.
