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

changed wonderfully. As matters now
stand there Is little likelihood of any
thing happening to Interfere with the
consummation of the Assembly.

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.
TROUT WEIGHS 18 POUNDS
Dolly Varden 4 a Inches Long
Arouses Interest In Rainier.
RAINIER, Or, June 26. (Special.)
George Morrison, of . Rainier, caught a
Dolly Varden trout yesterday that has
aroused deep interest owing to its re
markable size. This trout, which is an
extremely beautiful specimen, is 42

Grain Acreage in Montana Is

RAINFALL ' IS OPPORTUNE
v
Steam and Gasoline Plows Intro

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

the hospital for its - comforts and the
attending physician. He has now been
on the treatment five weeks and re
ports as follows:
"The nurse took a sample to the
"doctor today. He told her that there
"Is very little albumen now and that I
was-recovering fast. I know I am.
"My nurse is as well pleased as 1 am

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
