BOSSISM NOT APPARENT Harmony Prevails In All r,, - Meetings and Idea Is Received With Enthusiasm Distance . Bothers In, Some Counties. ACTION OJf ASSEMBLY BEXNQ TAKEN BY COUNTIES. Out of ths 84 counties in Oregon. 28 have taken definite action, favor- " In the holding; of ettlver & county aa sdmfcly, at which delegates will be elected to attend the state assembly, or sending; delegates to the state as sembly, thorough other methods of selection. Those counties, ars as tot lows: Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop. Columbia, Coos, Douglas. Gil-' 11am. Hood River, Josephine. Klam ath, Lake, Lane, Ltnn. Malheur, Mar lon. Morrow, Multnomah, Polk, Uma tilla,. Union, Washington and Wheeler. These represent 1022 dele gates In the state assembly. The remalnlns.U counties have not taken cctlon, but when they do, it is con fidently expected it wilt be favorable , to the assembly. With 23 counties already In line for the assembly and with little fear that the remaining? 11 will fall to do like wise, local exponents of a Republican assembly are Jubilant. From all over the state during the past week encouraging reports have been coming in. With complete unan imity Republicanism of the state is uniting for success at the polls la the fall elections. ' Of the 11 counties yet to take action It is believed not one will go on record against the assembly. The only luke warm report to come to state Republi can headquarters here from any of the County Central Committees was re ceived yesterday from H. T. Botts, chairman of the committee for Tilla mook County. "We have been unable to get a quo rum present at our meetings, owing to the great distance many of the mem bers have to come," he says in the let ter, "and in consequence have about given up the Idea." This report, however. Is ' not being taken as i f!S.i by officers of the State Central Committee, who say there is no reason why Tillamok County shall not send i' delegation to the state as sembly -any way, though a county as sembly be not held. Tor this end fur ther correspondence on the subject will be had; with Chairman Botts. Other Ten Counties Favorable. .. Reports received during the week ". from the other 10 counties, however, are unanimous in expression of the be lief that either county assemblies will be held fir through some other method delegates will be selected to the state assembly. The number of delegates represented in the counties yet to be heard from definitely is Z26. These are apportioned as follows: Crook IS, Curry 6, Grant 15, Harney 9, Jackson 41, Lincoln 12, Sherman 9, Tillamook 12, Wallowa 18, Wasco 27, and Yamhill 40. In Curry and Crook Counties diffi culty is. being experienced as in Tilla mook in getting a meeting of the cen tral committee, owing to the Immense territory included within the bound aries of the counties. In Wasco County a meeting of the committee to pass the assembly resolu tion has been called for July 5. There is np doubt but that this 'will be done. In Yamhill County also a meeting of the committee has been called for June 28 and likewise, it is said, there is no question but that the resolutions will be adopted. Three Counties Name Delegates. Delegates to the state assembly have already been selected In three counties of the state. They are Polk, Gilliam and Umatilla. In Polk County the dele gates to the state assembly .were selected, at a magnificent county as sembly, held last Saturday, which thus far'cclipses in point of enthusiasm and harmony of purpose any political meet lng held in Oregon during the past i two months. A full county ticketvwas recommended tot the voters and the purposes of the assembly were carried out to the minutest detafl. According to reports, the assembly, which was i large and representative, was entirely ' free from bOBsism o any attempt at anything other than an honest expres sion of the electorate. Twenty-nine . ; delegates were selected to attend the state assembly. ' - ' In Umatilla County the delegates to the. state assembly were nominated by ' the county central committee June 14, being the first to be selected In the state. The number Is 47. In Gillkim County, its 10 delegates to the state assembly were selected in the same manner last Saturday. All are rep resentative Republicans and will come to Portland July 21 boosting the can flldacy of Acting-Governor Bowerman for lection to the chief executiveshlp of the lit ate on the Republican ticket. ; 93 6 Delegates Yet to eB Named. i A total of 936 delegates to the state assembly is represented in the counties1 that have definitely decided to send dele- gates, exclusive of the three that have already selected , their representatives. Some of these counties will hold county assemblies, a" few will not. The times of holding the precinct caucuses and the county assemblies vary, though the Iarsrer number are following the sugges tion of the state central comVnittee and will hold the precinct meetings July 9 and the county meetings July 16, giving plenty of time for the delegates to come h,ere for the state assembly July 21. -Although beset on every hand by enemies1, wlfb sought to deprecate its efficacy in he interest of Republican success' and throw suspicion upon Its motives, the "assembly idea" has gained in favor until it has practically swept tJiA entlrn state. One of the charges made by enemies of the assembly was that it was to Be held purely in the Interest of Mayor Slmo, whom, these enemies said, was to De irecommenaea ior vrovernor Dy n The iiosltlve announcement by Mayor Si mon, tiiat he will not be a candidate under any circumstances, has set that question at rest. I Coos Assembly Next. The delegates to the state assembly i from Coos County will be selected June ' 30.t art adjourned meeting of the county assembly which first met May 27. At the first meeting a full list of candidates for county offices ' was selected. Coos is entitled tt 37 delegates. The next county assembly to be held Is In Morrow County, which will convene July 1, the delegateaj already having been selected. The Lane County assembly will be held next Sat urday, July 2. The delegates to this assembly were selected last Saturday. Lane has 66 delegates In the apportion ment for- the state assembly, which Is the largest number of any aside from Multnomah County. At a meeting of the Union County Republican Central Com mittee, held Saturday, it was decided to elect Its 30 delegates to the- state as sembly by precinct caucuses and not hold a county assembly this year. The same is true of Columbia County and a few others. In most of the in stances where county assemblies will not be held, however, it is not because of any sentiment against the assembly plan, but because the small population of the county precludes the direct primary alone from militating against Republican suc cess. In these counties there is little confusion because of there being names on the primary ballot with which the voters are unacquainted. In other counties, however, owing to the charge by Democrats that the Aa- - eTObly means a return to the old days i or bos of "bossism," there ar those who fear to take the Initiative and are content to send delegates to the State Assembly Thisls particularly true of localities where Bourne newspaper's are in the ascendency. "-Summed up, the situation Is very en couraging to those who have been working for the Assembly. Marty ob stacles have been overcome and during the past few weeks sentiment' has EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES Reading from left to right: Front row R. W.

As matters now stand there Is little likelihood of any thing happening to Interfere with the consummation of the Assembly. . , . f REPUBLICANS ' ARE SATISFIED Lane Leaders Want to Work in Har mony, Is Declaration. EUGENE, Or, June 26. (Special.) There is much satisfaction among local Republicans over the result 'of yester day's precinct elections, held for the purpose of choosing delegates to the county convention which Is to be held In the county courthouse here next Sab- turday. They see ,in the results the fulfillment- 6f their prediction that the Republicans of Lane wish to act in unl- m. 'i Th far that the meetings at Cottage Grove yesterday evening adjourned- without choosing delegates is not con sidered as a lack of interest or a desire to work with the other members oi tne party in the county, but on account of the fact that the convention call says that candidates will be recommended for county offices Is taken here to De the reason why the Cottage Grove Re publicans did not' choose delegates. However, they -may choose their dele gations during the week, as tne senn-. ment in favor of eliminating the county nominations next Saturday seems to be gaining strength among tne riepuDii cans here. v J. M. nviliams, who has been promi nent In the call for the assembly, said this morning ihat while the call stated that candidates for county offices should be nominated at this convention the convention could do as it liked in this matter. County Ju,dge Helmus Thomp son thinks that this is a question wniun the delegates themselves should settle at their convention next Saturday. The reason why many are In hopes that the convention will not nominate county officers next Saturday, is that very few candidates are as yet known, and it is believed that if the conven tion should act at this time. It would result in two ticke'ts for the county of fices, namely "assembly" and "anti-assembly" tickets. The Republicans of tho i-ountvxhave not yet been so di vided and the leaders think that such a division, can be avoided. They say they do not want next Saturday's con vention to be held altogether in the ln-o,-at nt "The few local candidates. The one point upon which all are united la tvint there shall be harmony among the Republicans and that the Lane County delegation De unneu wnen i. goes to the state asembly. That it will , a. united delegation if the conven-; tion does not take up the nomination of county officers is almost assured, as tne delegation includes Republicans who are In favor as well as those opposed' to the direct primary law, but all seem to make their first consideration nar mony for the state convention.

RAINFALL ' IS OPPORTUNE v Steam and Gasoline Plows Intro duced Into Eastern Section of State in Great Numbers Irri gation Water Plentiful. BUTTE, Mont.. June- 26. (Special.) With the exception of the slight im pairment of dry farm crops on the bench lands of the extreme northern part of Montana, crop conditions in this state are from 2$ to 30 per cent bet ter than they were a year ago. This condition is based upon the fact AT DUNDEE CONS TITUTE BANNER that this was a very early Spring and the crops are' consequently now fur ther along than early In June last year, with greater prospect of early maturity and abundant yield. The precipitation' this season' "has been exceedingly opportune, and though the weather during May was not as warm as is usual for that time of the year, yet there was no noticeable det rimental effect on , general crops, with the exception of hay. On the other hand, the cool days have been bene-, nciai to grain, causing it to stool out more than usual and assuring a boun tiful yield. The Increased grain yield in Daw son County by reason of the influx of settlers and the great impetus given to "dry farming" Will be close to 3, 000,000 bushels. It is estimated that from 100,000 to 200,000 acres of new ground have been broken this year. n.any in tne year 35 steam and gaso line plowing rigs left Glendlve alone. An average of 3000 acres a day have been filed upon at the Miles City Land Office by Eastern homeseelcers. and tire same is measurably true of the half dozen other land offices in the state. . Dry farming conditions. Igenerallv speaking, are excellent,' Spring-sown wheat showing stalks noiv about 15 inches high In Dawson, Fergus and Madison counties. While Beaverhead County has experienced some dry wejtiner, tne wneat is nevertheless-filling out nicely. The moisture conserved on the dry farms is ample to carry the crops through, with few excep tions. Fully 200,000 acres in Yellow stone County have' been seeded to wheat and other crops outside of the irrigated valleys this season. Copious rains about fBe middle of April, with the advanced state of the crops, makes a splendid yie'd certain, estimated at about 30 bushels of grain per acre of the dry farm land- Winter wheat is heading raptdly. It is ex pected that the harvesting will begin In two weeks. ' More than enough water is "availa ble in the streams for the irrigated farms. Irrigated farms In the northern tier a., d in u-n gooa condition, generally speaking, as coniri i,.j despite the scorching, hot "weather of last week, but the dry farming tracts in this section were hit' hard and the crop- yield will be small, in snmo practically nothing. This portion of Montana received the full brunt of the devastating torrid winds which swept the Dakotas and westward. The dura tion of the heat, however, was brief, and rains the latter part of the week -saved many wheat farms. x L-SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION BEGINS AT OREGON UNIVERSITY.'

"I have Just eaten one of yqur big apples," he said, "and la my opinion the Northwest will soon be as famous for its orchards over the whole world as is France for its vine yards. The remark "of the Japanese Prince is coincident with reports from the fruit belt that the crop of 1910 will be phe nomenal.

" The case of Ernest Porter, who caused the death of John Shannen In a fight near Sweet Home about two weeks ago, will attract much attention. Porter ad mits causing Shannon's death, but whether he struck him In the back of the head with a club, as the dead men's brother alleges, or whether death was caused when Shannon's head struck a stump as Porter Jerked him backward to pfevent him from stabbing Porter's brother, as the Porters will testify, is the question on which hinges his guilt or innocence. Though Porter was bound over on a charge of murder in the first degree, it is intimated that manslaughter will be the charge on which he will prob ably be tried. Another case of Interest is that In which Kelly, Armstrong and Lower are accused of "rolling" John Daley, an old lumberman of Detroit, for $300 in this city.
