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.

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

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

PR0HI VOTE- CUT IN LINN
Chafin Receives 14 9, While Over
2000 Supported Local Option.
ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 7. (Special.)
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.

Work on the foundations for the Stude
baker building at Alder and Chapman
streets is well under way. Some difficulty
was encountered In getting down to solid
ground, as the building Is to stand on
lilled-in territory of old Tanner Creek.
When the walls are In place the lot will
be brought up to level and the structure
started.
The two blocks from Sixteenth to Chap
man on Alder have become quite an au
tomobile garage quarter. Several new
buildings devoted to that purpose have
recently been finished and two others are
under course of erection.

place.
TrusHPS are being placed in position for
the third and fourth stories of the T. M.
C. A. building at Sixth and Taylor streets.
These two are to be thrown Into one
floor.
The fourth story of the new building of

up and masons are at work on the fifth.
With continuation of fine weather the
walls will soon be finished.
Foundations are going In for the El O.
Crawford building at Fifth and Ankeny
streets. MacNaughton. Raymond & Law
rence are the architects. The present In
tention of the owner is to erect a three
or four-story building, but construction is
to be heavy enough to carry additional
stories when required. Reference to this
building made a few days ago In a legal
publication was In error In giving the
owner as Blake-McFall Co. That firm
owns the Fourth-street end of the same
half-block.
Concrete foundations for piers of the
Henry building at Fourth and Oak are In
and further work will be undertaken this
week, weather permitting.
Retaining walls for the Lewis building
at the northeast corner of Fourth and
Oak have been completed.
