THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 8, IMPS. 10 yj E TT FROST PROOF PI ANTIMfGS 11 ibijil V 1L ILL N HJifc CHURCHILL CLUB TAKES ACTION Sellwood Republicans Oppose Election of Chamberlain. WANT MAJOR PARTY MAN Committer I Named to Attack Jjc galtty of Statement No. 1 on Bais of Decision in North Dakota Court. That the election of a Democratic United States Senator from Oregon at the coming session of the Legislature, In the face of the recent lame Republi can majority, would be almost a calam ity for the state and ought not to be brought about was the unanimous dec laration of the Sellwood Republican t'lub at its smoker Thursday night. This declaration was framed in the form of a strongly worded resolution prepared and submitted by W. Adams etting forth that the constitution of the State of Oregon and that of the United States were violated In the so called statement No. 1 by which Re publican members of the Legislature had promised to vote for a Democrat for United States Senator. Following this resolution J. F. Kert rhem. J. W. Campbell. E. A. Austin. William La Force. W. H. Goldlng and peter Hume were appointed to confer with the State Republican Central Com mittee with a view to having the State ment No. 1 provision brought Into court at once and declared unconstitu tional. Secretary Adams was instruc ted to correspond w-ith the Secretary of State of North Dakota, where a similar law has recently been declared uncon stitutional, and. If possible, secure a copy of the decision of the court before the next meeting of the club. At this meeting of the Sellwood Re publican Hub there was a large attend ance, and the consensus of opinion was that a Republican ought to repre sent Oregon In the United States Sen ate. If a Democrat should be elected. It was declared. It would bring disre pute upon the state and party. Talks were made by Edward Q. Curtis. Will lam I.a Force. J. V. Kerchem. E. A. Austin and W. Adams commenting on the situation, and all declared that every effort should be put forth to prevent the election of governor Cham berlain, a Democrat, from the Republi can state of Oregon. It was decided as a club to taKe up the matter with vigor and do all possi ble for the election of a Republican Senator, no preference being announced. Another meeting of the club will be held next Thursday night, when a re port from the committee appointed will be submitted. A few weeks ago Sen ator Bourne was the guest of the Sell wood Republican Club and there read a article urging the election of Gover nor Chamberlain, which was afterwards published in an Eastern weekly. Cupid I" sea Dissecting Knife. CHICAGO. Nov. 7. A romance of the dissecting table In one of the large West Side medical schools will have Its de nouement in a wedding in the rectory of St. Ambrose Church November 17. At that time Dr. Grace Friih-Hagans will If you anticipate purchasing Walnut Plantings and you are looking around for that purpose, just keep on looking until you find the right thing. When you do find the right thing you will climb the hills; it's in the hills that you will locate if you locate without risk. No man with knowledge of the walnut will advise or indorse the planting of walnuts on valley lands. Thousands (running in the hundreds) of dollars have been absolutely thrown away by locating orchard plantings wrong. If your plantings are subject to frosts, look out! if you are not above the frost line your property will be idle one-third to one-half the time that's history. Our plantings have an elevation of 700 to 900 feet above the valley. Our walnut plantings are today as green and fresh as they were two months ago, so are tomato and potato vines. Look these things up below the frost line and you will have an illustration from an early Fall frost of where you would be at with the Spring frosts. We are, the largest planters in Oregon. We have the only plantedTracts for sale in Oregon. We are in the right county (Yamhill) and in the right place in that county. Ninety per cent of all the walnut plantings ever sold in Oregon have been sold by us. ' We are in the' business and we know our business. We sell five-acre tracts on terms of $100 cash and only $15 per month; that's the terms for each five-acre tract, including four years' care. ' The become the bride of Joseph A.

One of the most notable features of the election in Linn County, aa developed by the canvass of the official vote, is the great decrease In the vote of the Prohi bition and Socialist parties. The Prohi bition party expected a big increase here because the county was "wet" in 1904 and Is "dr now. but the vote dropped from 2SS four years ago to J49. The majority who favor a -dry" county is probably as large as ever here, but more than 2000 who voted for local option failed to sup port Chafin. The Socialists expected 600 votes In IJnn this time, but thels vote dropped from 403 in 1904 to 331. The Republicans carried 21 of the 31 pre cincts of Linn County, while the Demo crats captured nine. Sweet Home pre cinct returned a tie vote. The Socialist vote exactly equaled the Democratic in Foster and Fox Valley precincts. There Is a peculiar circumstance In the two lone votes the Hisgen electors re ceived In this county. Each elector re ceived two votes, but they were not In the same precincts. In Foster one elec tor voted for the four followers of Hearst, while In South Lebanon. Bennett, Lake and Sweeney each received one vote. This would have left Malley one vote below his fellow-electors in Linn County, but an obliging voter In Price precinct gave him one and did not vote for either of the other three. In 28 precincts, which Include all of the cities and towns of the county, not a Hisgen elector received a single vote. All of the other parties were represented In every precinct, except that there were no Prohibition votes in Kingston and no 8o clallstsln Orleans.

Gantenbein. wife of Judge Ganten bein. was the principal speaker, and she delivered a thoughtful and well-considered address. Among other things,. Mrs. Gantenbein said: It ts an evidence "of evolution that our babies will run away t. play In water, and our vouths go swimming, because aires ago man" lived In th. sea.
