HOT MUCH BETTING HERE
FEW WAGEllS PI,ACKD OX THE
KLECTIOX RESULTS.
Much liuorc.t in Hughes-Hearst
I'ight, But Total Amount Wag
ered Is Xot More Than $1000.
Portland's speculative men have not
wagered a fortune on the elections that
are to be held all over the country to
day. Perhaps not more than $1000 all
told will be put up. and practically all
of this will be bet on the result in New
York. The fight between Hearst and
Hughes in Gotham has attracted Intense
interest here, but It is not the kind that
results in the placing of wagers. Before
Francis J. Heney began stirring up the
graft animals !n San Kranclsco there was
some interest In the California situation,
but no sooner than Heney began his
exposes all thoughts of the election were
turned to betting on whether Heney
would land Abe Ruef and the rest of the
grafters.
Yesterday around the places where
money is wagered on elections, prize
fights and other events that call up the
sportive blood of those who bet money
there was plenty of Hughes money at
3 to 1. There' were also a few bets made
at 10 to 60 that Hughes would carry New
Xork. City. At ilia cigar etora At Sixth
and "Washington streets a man who re
fused to give his name for publication
left J90O to bet on Hughes at 3 to 1.
This fellow shaved the prevailing odds
in New York, for at one time yesterday
they were betting 5 to 1 on Hughes. He
was lucky enough to get most of his
money on at 3 to 1. Perhaps less than
$501) was bet at 2 to 1 that Hearst would
carry New York City.
This was the only fight that seemed
to interest anyone, so far as' the sporting
ly inclined people were concerned in this
one election. The fight in Philadelphia
and in Massachusetts. Colorado and other
places did not seem to matter. Whether
the next Congress would be Republican
or Democratic was another question that
did not make the sporting blood tingle.
Not all of those who grabbed the willing
better's" money believed that Hearst
would win. They simply got down be
cause a 3 to 1 or a 4 to 1 bet for a small
amount is a good one to lose where there
is actually a chance to win it. At one
of the rope factories there was a man
who wanted to bet $200" even that if
Hearst should be elected he would be
counted out, just as he was when elected
Mayor.

FRUIT TO BE THE TOPIC
GROWERS TO HOLD A MEETING
AT GRANT'S PASS.
Success of Josephine County in Rais
ing Fine Product Moves
Douglas to Action.
GRANT'S PASS, Or.. Nov. 5. (Special.)
A fruitgrowers' meeting is to be held
In Grant's Pass Monday, November 12,
under the auspices of the Oregon Agricul
tural College and the Grant's Pass Fruit
growers' Union, in co-operation with the
Grant's Pass Commercial Club. Hereto
fore mining and lumbering have been the
chief industries of this section of Rogue
River Valley and these have built Grant's
Pass up to a thriving city of 5000 popula
tion, and now it has been proven by
progressive farmers that the fruit indus
try, if fully developed, will add as much
wealth to Josephine County as both the
mines and the timber.
The soil, climate and other conditions
are exactly the same as the neighboring
county of Jackson, which has made a
reputation for growing fancy Spitzenberg
and Newton apples quite equal to Hood
River, and pears that on the New York
market for the past five years have led
all the United States for the highest
price. $2000 per car being the lowest price
this season, with the world's record being
made on a car of extra fancy Cornice
pears at $2707. The record price for Jlogue
River pears last year was $2429. Rogue
River Valley is equally as famous for its
fine grapes and peaches. With this en
couragement before them, both the farm
ers and the business men are taking an
active interest in the building up of the
fruit industry to its fullest extent.
The attendance at this fruigrowers'
meeting promises to be the largest ever
held in Rogue River Valley. The pro
gramme has been arranged to cover all
the principal features of the fruit indus
try. Those taking part will speak upon
but one topic each and no talk is to
exceed ten minutes In length. The only
exception to this rule will be to Professor
A. B. Cordley and Professor C. I. Lewis,
of the Oregon Agricultural College, who
will each be allowed all the time they
may require to fully present their sub
jects. A question box will be an Im
portant feature, and all attending the
meeting will be supplied with a pad of
paper and they will write their queries
and place the slips in the box. to be an
swered at the close of the regular pro
gramme. Requisition for Butte Embezzler.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 5. Governor Johnson
has granted requisition papers to Gover
nor Toole, of Montana, for the return
of F. E. Garside, who is wanted In that
state for alleged forgery. Garside is
charged with embezzling $4064 from the
Aetna Banking & Trust Company, of
Butte. He left Montana and was arrested
in Minneapolis last week. The embezzle
ment alleged against Garside is said to
have been committed last August.
