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

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
