Feb. 10, 1908. at Lh post orJIe at Bool Ritt, Oregtm. nndr tlx Act of March a. 197. Dry and Wet The tight of the Anti Saloon league huJ the opponents of the liquor bua liieMi to pan a state wide prohibi tion amend men t In Oregon and a county unit !cal option law In Washington, are proving au Impor tant phase of the political situation In these two Northwestern states, although in neither state are the antl-saloon people meeting with the same enthusiasm that they did when local option law under the town-, ship and precinct unit plan were passed. Both states now have local option, and there are many "dry" districts in each, both town and country elections resulting In many cases favorably to the Anti-Saloon League. The people of Oregon, how ever, are a little slow to enthuse over prohibition, believing that If some cities want to remain "wet" they have a right to do so, as long as the "dry" communities can please themselves. In Washington the question is not up to the voters di rect, but to the legislature, and the Anti-Saloon League Is working hard to elect Us friends to office. The Re publican convention failed to men tion local option or the "county unit" In ts platform, and It Is not thought likely that the Democrats will. In the Democratic conventions In Nebraska and Minnesota, "county unit" planks were voted down, even the eloquence of William J. Bryan falling to carry the day for the "dry" In his own state. I'robabfy the Anti Saloon workers will have to make their fight without the support of either party, but they are not dls couraged and will do their best In any case. Made in Washington Day Saturday, August 27, will be "Made In Washington" Day, and will be celebrated by various com mercial organizations as a date for the exploitation of home made prod ucts, and wide publicity will be given to the appeal to the public for the support of home Industries and the consumption of Washington products In preference to outside goods. In this connection, the re cent Republican state convention adopted two resolutions, as follows: "That In the new erection of public buildings In this state by the Federal government, that the representa tives and senators in Congress from this state are requested and urged to use every honorable effort to have specified and used In all such public buildings materials from this state where readily available, whether from forest, mine, quarry, mill, fac tory or foundry." "That if In its wisdom the legislature of this state should see fit to authorize the erec tion and appropriation for any state buildings, that It would help home Industry by providing that all ma terial used In the erection of such buildings be from the state of Wash ington, where readily available. We have the materials; we have the me chanics, whose skill Is equal to the best." Making Prosperity S. J. Kllison, general passenger agent of the Great Northern, who Is on a tour of the Northwest, Is an other railroad official who testifies to the excellent record of tourist and homeseeker travel of the present sea son In the Northwest. Mr. Ellison says that the travel to the North western states In 1010 Is far ahead of that In 19W, which was considered a big year, and compares favorably with the traffic of 1009, which was greatly stimulated by the A.-Y.-P. Exposition. He says that the large sums spent In the east by the rail roads to advertise the Northwest are not being wasted, but that trm railroads believe they are accom plishing much In settling up the un occupied lands, and making more business for the railroads and more proser1ty for the country. Washington Judges Renominating the five supreme court Judges whose terms expire next year, and adopting a platform which strongly endorses the administra tion of President Tuft and contains a number of Important planks, the Washington Itepublk-an convention met at Tacorna August 2 and 3 and quickly and harmoniously disposed of Its work. The Judges renomi nated were F. Oohp, Frank II. Hud kin, E. N. Parker, Oeorge K. Morris and Mark A. Fullerton. The plat form, besides endorsing the Taft administration, recommends theelec tlon of a I'ulted States senator from Western Washington. C. I NORTHWEST MOTES C. Portland's Harvest Festival. Sep temlxT 5 10, will have no end of amusement features and quantities of blooded livestock on view, to gether with stirring races by the best trotting, pacing and running stock to lie had, but perhaps the most interesting teature on the grounds to many who will attend, will be the demonstration of tuber culin tests for dairy cows to be given by Dr. W. H. Lytle. state veterinary. Animals with tuberculosis will lj given the tests and their value ex plained In a lecture. The animals will lie slaughtered and the evidence of tubercular conditions shown and discussed. This Is expected to be a great attraction for a laage numlier of dairymen and others Interested. Estimates of Oregon's hop crop for the year place the figure at iX),0tJ bales. The quality of the yield Is re ported to be excellent and It Is ex pected a good price will be paid for the crop If picked clean. Special efforts to secure clean pl' kiug will be made by growers. A dairy farmer of Washington county makes the statement that he has cleared $1:1 net on each of his uiue cows every month, making a snug Income from that source alone of $104i lu the past nine mouths. This is an Industry that Is capable of almost Illimitable expansion In this state. President Stevens, of the Oregon Trunk Line, the Hill road up the Deschutes, announces that his com pany will build south to a connec tion with the Pacific & Eastern, reaching out from Medford. This will give the Hill system a main trunk line down through Central Or egyn, from which will spring lateral branches Into nearby productive territory. Eight big ocean steamers and one sailing vessel were in the Willamette river on August 9, loading Oregon products for ports across the sea, In addition to the usual number of coasting vessels, one of the most formidable fleets to assemble In a Pacific Nerthwest port for months. Tne combined cargoes amount to i),0o0,000 feet of Oregon fir, together with miscellaneous ' freight, and des tinations Include Hong Kong, New Zealand, Manila, Shanghai, Austrn lla and other oriental ports. A splendid advertisement of the advantages of the Pacific Northwest is the decision of Jasper Wilson, son of James Wilson, secretary of ngrl culture, to engage In fruit growing In the Pacific Northwest. He will develop only 20 acres at present, con slderlng this ample to keep him fully occupied. That a man who has all the professeons open to him should choose horticulture In the Northwest as the best opportunity, Is highly significant and Is a splendid endorse ment of this section of the country That field peas should be grown on the big acreage of summer fallow In Eastern Oregon each year Is the opinion of experts. There Is profit in the practice, while the fertility of the soli Is Increased and weeds kept down. H. Grebe, a wheat grower of Condon, finds he makes more off his peas, acre for acre, than from his wheat, and wheat sown on the same land the following year produces one-third more than land merely summer fallowed and allowed to lie Idle. Hogs grow fat on the peas, adding enormously to the wealth of the grain growing sections of the Northwest. Join State Auto Association Charles P. McCann of Hood River has notified Lawrence Therkelsen, secretary of the Oregon State Auto, mobile Association, that he has se cured 11 new members for the state association. The new members are Leslie Butler, C. F. Gilbert, W. T. Sleddon, G. Y. Edwards Jr., J. H. Heilbronner, Devlin & Flrebaugh, C. R. Bone, Charles Hall, P. S. David son and J. C. Mlnnaker. L. R. Ruth erford has been appointed by the state association vice president for Columbia county. Mr. McCann announces, that he will take up the matter of road signs soon with the proper authorities In Hood River county, and will appolut a committee to work on the propo sition. The local automobile asso elation of Medford Is working on the proposition of constructing a good road through Central Oregon. Injured in Logging Camp John Lazear. an employe of the Oregon Lumber Company, was seri ously Injured In one of the logging camps of the company, Thursday, by having a tree fall on him. Lazear had his thlgb and shoulder crushed. The Injured man was brought to Hood River Thursday evening and placed In the Cottage Hospital. Form Suffrage Clubs A club of more than fifty men and women living In Blaine, Washing ton, who were formerly residents In Iceland, where women vote, have formed two eiiual suffrage clubs, and i the two have l-en united to work for the suffrage amendment that will Is? voted on In Washington at the November election.
