THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY. JULY 10, 1020 NORTH DAKOTA SEAT OF RABID ANTIPATHY Hate Indescribable Caused by Non-Partisan League. MANY CITIZENS LEAVING Business Men and ITuriucrs Plan ning on Seeking Homes Klc vIierc to Avoid Atmosphere. rJY GEORGE K. AIKEN. B ISM AR.& N. D., July 9. (Spe cial.) There is a decided difference between the politics of the ordinary state and the brand on exhibition in the political field meet recently staged in North DakjOta. In most states political contests have the nature of a college athletic contest after the ballots are counted the partisans return to their daily affairs as citizens and forget the campaign but not so In North Da kota. Here it is a regular Donney brook fair. The feeling of the participants is in fact the outstanding feature of the entire situation. They -hate each other. This is-illustrated by a talk I had with Assistant Commissioner Purde baugh of the department of agricul ture and labor just previous to the election, when he said to me: "When we get this system going wc will teach these business men who are op posing the league what regulation Is. We will not do away with the middle man entirely, but the num ber will be limited to as many as are necessary and no more. lIuxliiriK Men Scored. "These business men." he continued 'with vehemence, "have no sense. They from the beginning, and they have clubbed together this time and they have got a lesson coming to them, and they'll get it." It was not so much what he said as the way he said it that struck me as showing the intent and the depth of feeling. And this is the attitude of many of the leaders, though not all. Out in the country district it is even worse. Neighbors of years' standing, life-long friends, have be come bitter enemies. Members of families, in cases of which I have been told by reputable citizens, no longer speak to each other. All the bitterness that marked life in the border states before the civil war exist here in North Dakota today. In Fargo the other day the state ment was made in my presence that by the league winning hundreds of citizens are planning on seeking homes elsewhere. . This applies not alone to business men, but to farm ers as well. Today a farmer told me that here in Bisinark many" men al ready have started to get their prop erty in shape to leave. Hate Replncen Confidence. It is not tho Industrial programme alone that is causing this desire to migrate, it is the feeling of hope lessness due to the bitterness of the internal strife, the desire to get away from so unpleasant a position where hate has replaced confidence and trust among the people. But not all tho people feel thus; nor are all the league leaders of the y-pe one would hate. The league of ficials, the higher ups, are clever politicians. Of that there need be no doubt. They have como to realize that they have gone too far in some respects, evidently, for they have placed some likeable persons in po sitions to meet the public. They have located some ex-service men and placed them in good jobs. These men treat a correspondent kindly. It is their constant effort to offset the charges of disloyalty that have been hurled at the league leaders during the past year. During a talk on the question of loyalty o nthe part of the league leaders in general and the question of loyalty to the gov ernment as evidenced in North Da kota during the war, a prominent league official, one wearing the American Legion button, and one whose loyalty cannot be questioned, made this admission to me: "As you say, tne majority of the league members, the rank and file, are farmers and were as loyal as farmers in other states. Their loy alty cannot be questioned, but It is eafe to say that the majority were not In favor of the war. Had there been a referendum on the subject. North Dakota would have voted against going to war; and lots of the fellows who are opposing the league now would have been on that side, too." Antipathy la Indescribable. "Isn't it true," I asked, "that all the socialists, all the I. W. W., all the pro-Germans in North Dakota are lined up, and have been lined up, with the league?" "Oh, I guess that is true, it is per haps a fair statement of the case," he said. With this alignment, with the con stant reiteration by speakers for the opposition of the fact that A. C. Townley was convicted for impeding the draft by a jury in Jackson coun ty, Minnesota, with the constant use of the words socialists and I. W. W. on one side and "big biz" and "prof iteers" and other invectives on the other, each has taken, the words to apply to everyone on their side and a general feeling of indescribable an tipathy has resulted. The conclusion is forced on one that if some of the leaders could be removed, perhaps on both sides, and the people forget the teachings of the last few years, and look for some of the good in their neighbors, and not for the bad, then this great state could return to its normal sanity. It is not in its right mind now, and therefore is suffering accordingly. GIANT WHALE IS CAUGHT 110 Barrels Oil Taken From Large Sperm at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN'. Wash.. July 9. (Spe cial.)

RECORD CROPS PROMISED liKPOKTS FROM . PALOL'SK COUX-TRY FAVORABLK. Harvesting of Winter Wheal to Start in Walla Walla and liig Uend Sections. SPOKANE, Wash., July 9, (Spe cial.) With genecal wheat crop con ditions exceptionally good, the Pa louse and Walla Walla districts and southern section of the big Bend dis trict give promise of record crops this year, according to reports from Spo kane grain men who have just re turned from the wheat sections. Harvesting of the winter wheat crop will be in full blast within an other 10 days, they say, and the har vest of spring wheat will begin the latter part of the month. "General conditions in the Palouse country indicate that the wheat crop will be heavier than last year," said A. J. Haile, of the Centennial Mill company. "Although the spring wheat is in good condition at the present time it will need rain before it ripens. Conditions in the Palouse are much better than in the big Bend. The northern section of the big Bend is in need of rain and unless it comes the general average will be below last year's, which was between eight and 12 bushels to the acre." "The farmers are gradually getting back to the pre-war schedule of sum mer fallowing," stated W. T. Greely, of the Balfour Greely Grain company. "There is some decrease in the acreage as compared with last year, but It will not be noticeable. The crop outlook in both the Palouso and Walla Walla sections is good." In speaking of general crop condi tions in the Walla Walla country N. A. Roberts of the Northern Grain and Warehouse company, said: "Wheat around Walla Walla is past all danger and harvesting will be started there immediately. The average yield will be better than last year's." "The Waterville country crops are past redemption and even if rain did come soon that section would only have about half a crop, or a yield less than last year," stated J. K. Smith, general manager of the Sperry Flour company. "Rain would help the northern part of the Big Bend sec tion, and if it comes within the next two weeks that section will yield more wheat to the acre than it did last year. The Nezperce country is looking exceptionally good and ac cording to reports from there har vesting will start in the very near future."

SPECIAL SESSION SOUGHT VALIDATION OF ROAD BONDS BV LlHilSLATCHK DESIRED. Court Decision Invalidating Clack amas Issue Portends Injury, Declares Bedford Editor. SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.) "Governor Olcott would be justified in calling a special sessionrof the legislature to enact legislation valid ating bonds voted- for road construc tion work in Clackamas, Jackson and several other counties of the state," was the assertion made here today by S. S. Smith, editor of the Medford Sun and one of the enthusiastic good roads supporters -in southern Oregon. Mr. Smith stopped off in Salem to day while on his way to Portland, and conferred with Governor Olcott. Herbert Nunn, state highway engi neer, and other state officials, with regard to the opinion handed down last Tuesday by the Oregon supreme court declaring the Clackamas county road bond issue of $1, 700,000 invalid. It was held by the court that these bonds, together with other outstand ing securities, aggregated more than 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property in Clackamas county at the time the bonds were issued, and consequently their sale would be violation of the 1913 act of the legislature. Mr. Smith said Jackson county also had voted many thousands of dollars of bonds for road construction work. and that the opinion of the supreme court In the Clackamas county case probably would affect the highway programme in the former county. Although Mr. Smith made no over tures to Governor Olcott with rela tion to the latter's attitude toward calling a special session of the legis lature, he intimated that such a re- I ,- V vp 0 quest would be made within the next few days.
