The Election
Hood Uiver, in line with the
rvst of Oregon, expresssed pref-
t tvnce on Friday for Theodore
Roosevelt as nominee President,
hut lv the small margin of 19
v otes. Political forecasters who
had been confident that they
had correctly sensed the trend of
sentimemt in this county were
surprised at the victory of Colo
nel Roosevelt. They were confi
sent. previous to the election, that
Hood River county could be
rounded up into the Taft column
without any difficulty. Indeed,
the vote in the city of Hood River
and the lower valley showed
Taft sympathizers in the majori
ty. It was the Upper Valley
which proved the Roosevelt
stronghold and the vote polled
there in the Colonel's favor
proved sufficient to swing: the
county.
The result locally as well as in
the state was the more surpris
ing for the reason that Taft sup
porters have been carrying on
an energetic campaign in his be
half and the press of the state
was practically unanimous in its
support of the President as a
candidate for renomination.
Roosevelt, on the contrary, did
little in the advertising line until
on the eve of the election, when
letters signed by himself person
ally appeared as advertising in
certain of the metropolitan pa
pers. Despite all this, the ma
jority of Roosevelt over Taft in
the state ran close to the 7000
mark, showing beyond question
that the Colonel still enjoys an
immense popularity among the
rank and file of Oregon citizens.
Second to his personal popu
larity, it would appear that the
choice of Roosevelt by the Re
publicans of Oregon is due to the
general and deepseated feeling
of unrest and demand' for
radical changes in business and
economic conditions so far as it
is possible to effect such changes
through governmental means. It
is evident that in this state at
least the citizens prefer to trust
Roosevelt at the helm of the ship
of state rather than President
Taft In so deciding, however,
they have placed a tremendous
responsibility upon the shoulders ;
of Colonel Roosevelt in case he j
should be nominated and elected,
for he is under the obligation of j
justifying himself for having en- j
tered the campaign in opposition ;
to Mr. Taft. ,
Behind Colonel Roosevelt was
the great and growing strength j
of the progressive element in j
politics, the element whose 1
strength is surprising old line!
politicians in every state where I
direct primaries have been held.
Whether or not Colonel Roose- j
velt is nominated, the fact will j
remain that the people of Ore
gon have expressed themselves!
as being overwhelmingly in favor ;
of the progressive policies which,
the election has made apparent,
are sweeping aside with resist
less force the standpat element
in the Republican party.
Second only to the surprise oc
casioned by the sweeping victory
of Colonel Roosevelt in Oregon,
was the defeat of Judge Ganten
bein of Portland by Congress
man LafTerty. The latter's re
nomination has given occasion
for severe critcism of the direct
primary as a method for selec
tion of nominees. Congressman
Ijifferty has made of himself a
laughing stock loth at Washing
ton and at home. He has for
feited all claim to respect either
iK-rsonally or politically through
his disgraceful conduct as a
"masher." That he should be
renominated is hardly conceiv
able, especially so when it is
known that his opponent, Judge
dantenlvin. is a man of the high
est standing as a jurist. There is
a blot upon 1-arTerty's character
which cannot be removed, for he
has demonstrated that he does
not hesitate at the baldest false
hoods. His defeat by M. G.
Munly, the Democratic candidate,
would be entirely justifiable.
In the local field only three
offices were contested. Sheriff
Thomas F. Johnson and Murray
Kay, the present incumbents,
both proved successful, while
Mr. Putnam, as the candidate
for county commissioner, will
give the Upper Valley the repre
sentation on the board which
they have desired. Mr. Strana
han will make a capable man to
take care of Hood River's inter
ests in the legislature.
The News, in another column,
is giving the complete unofficial
returns for Hood River by pre
cincts, showing the respective
popularity of the various candi
dates in every section of the
county.
Precooling of Fruit
Among the many problems
now being worked out by the
United States bureau of the
plant industry perhaps none has
attracted a keener interest
among horticulturists than pre
cooling a new idea crncerning
the preparation of perishable
fruit for long distance shipment.
While it is still doubtful whether
precooling is to be recommended
for apples, its value in the case
of the more perishable fruits,
such as strawberries, cherries
and raspberries, has been dem
onstrated.
Tht bureau of plant industry is
now devoting considerable at
tention to this problem in Ore
gon and Washington. Last sum
mer the department of agricul
ture engaged in the experimental
work of precooling cherries and
loganberries at Salem, and rasp
berries at Puyallup, Washington.
Results so far indicate that pre
cooling is a big aid in helping
the refrigerator car to maintain
a low and uniform temperature
during the entire trip, raspber
ries arriving in Kansas City in
splendid condition.

POULTRY KEEPING
PROVESTOITABLE
Oregon Agricultural Collejre, Cor
vhIIU, Ore. "There has been an
eiiormou IneretiM? lu the production
of eg and poultry tn the state In
the pant .few year, but tn xptte of
thU the ilemant hau far exceeded the
ouppl.v, and price are still as high as
ever," mild Prof. Jaiue lrydeu of
the Oregon Agricultural (.'oll.e lu
dliicuxrtltiK the object of the preeeut
tour Juf the poultry demonstration
car sent out over the Southern I'a
clllc lines by the college.
'If the fanners of Oregon would
keep, on an average, 100 hens Instead
of about 0, It would shut out the
Imports and add $4,1)00,000 or $:,000,.
000 a year to the wealth of the state.
"The purpose of the demonstra
tion car Is to stimulate a greater
production of poultry and eggs. The
quicken t and best way Is to Increase
the flocks f the farmers rather than
to have poultry keeper start large
egij farms. The demand cannot lie
met by the establishment of large,
exclusively poultry farms. If the
general farmer goes out of the egg
produclng husluess there will soon
be an egg famine possibly a serious
financial panic.
"Though there are opportunities
for profit along special lines In poul
try keeping, the market for special
ties Is limited, and It would be folly
to advise everyone to go Into special
lines. I am free to confess that we
have kept more people out of the
poultry business than have gone Into
It ns ati exclusive biwtuess. I have
received great numbers of letters
during the past year from all parts
of the state as well as from other
states, In which the writers stated
that they were going Into the poul
try biisluess on a large scale, and a
large majority of them said they
knew nothing of the business. Our
plain duty was to advise caution. If
every one of them had gone Into the
business as they Intended and In
vented their all lu It, It Is safe to say
there would have lieeu thousands of
dollars lost In every county In the
state, and the poultry business would
have received a black eye."
BLOSSOM FESTIVAL AT
NORTH YAKIMA A SUCCESS
The spring festival at North Yak
ima began Thursday morning. The
crowning of the blossom queen uu
the courthouse lawn was a feature
of the opening day. Friday a tine
parade was participated In by all the
uniform rank bulges and nilllthi or
ganizations tn line, floats and deco
rated automobiles, pretty girls on
saddle ponies and flower-decked car
riages. Delegates from many of the
Commercial clubs of Washington and
Oregon went to Vuklma for the festi
val and the Progress and Prosperity
convention held there at the same
time brought a good many. One of
the big New York moving picture
firms sent on a camera and operator
to take pictures of the festival.
Local musical talent will offer a
treat at the muslcale to be given at
thh Heights Baptist Church Thurs
day evening, April 2."
