BOWERMAN FOR
STATEJCONOHY
Commenting on the features of bin
platform Jajr Uowenuan, act log
governor and ansembly candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor, imltl he had observed from
traveling through the western Ore
gon eouutles that, In this campaign,
the voters are dUposed seriously to
consider the specific promises of can
didates rather than uiKiuestlonlngly
to accept glittering generalities and
broad statements. Concerning bis
own platform, Mr. Uowertuan said
voters are especially Interested la
that plank which proposes the In
auguration of a business system In
the conduct of the state's business
affairs by which many thousands of
dollars would Ik? saved to the tax
payers In the purchase of supplies for
the different state Institutions.
"Under the present system of pur
chasing supplies for the state," said
Mr. liowerman, "each of the seven
state Institutions purchases Its sup
plies separately. This plan should
be changed. If nominated and elect
ed I shall advocate and. If possible,
Inaugurate a needed reform In this
connection.
"All supplies for the state Institu
tions should le brought together
and a saving of probably $50,000 an
nually effected to the taxpayers. Un
der the system which has always
been In vogue, by which each Insti
tution purchases Its supplies Inde
pendently of the others there Is a
wide dlmcrepency In the price paid by
the different Institutions for the
same articles."
SPREADING OREGON'S
NAME AND FAME
The Oregonlau says that mention
like this from the Springfield, Mass.,
Republican, pure reading matter,
first column, editorial page, helps to
brlug Oregon to the fore:
"A good many New Hollanders
feel that they have transacted quite
a piece of business when they sell the
15 to M barrels of apples grown In
their orchards each year. There are
larger transactions in New York
state, but for real apple-buying one
must look to the Oregon and Wash
ington orchards. A bfg transaction
of the sort was completed last week,
when the crop handled by the Hood
River growers' association was sold
In one lot to a New York house. It
Is supposed to le the biggest red ap
ple deal on record and between 400
and "00 carloads of apples were sold
for about f 400,000."
liy the time the paragraph Is copied
Into numerous exchanges, which Is
sure to happen; a whole lot of east
ern folk will be puckering' their lips
for some of the Incomparably tine
fruit therein mentioned. Meantime,
the Hood Klver association will not
take unkindly the hint that a box of
extra fancy Spltzenburgs be sent
charges prepaid, to the editor of our
distinguished New England content
porary, not exactly as an honorar
ium, but to demonstrate the worth!
ness of the product so generously
noticed.
The matter being called to the at
tention of C. H. Sproat, manager of
the Apple Growers' Union, a box of
Spltzenburgs will be sent to the Ite
publican with a letter expressing the
appreciation of the union.
