Thousands of people now living in furnished rooms and furnished' apartments are paying from $5 to $15 per month more than the same space would cost them unfur
nished.. They pay for the furniture every two years and still don't own it. Now, if these same people owned the furniture they would be reaping an AXNUAL DIVI
DEND OF 50 PER CENT. How many investments have you paying 50 per cent dividends each year? In addition, if you own the furniture, if it is of your own
selection, you will draw big dividends of pleasure, comfort and satisfaction. Few Get-Rich-Quick schemes even promise more for your money than a furnished home
actually pays you. Can you afford to defer the matter longer? At our NoRent prices it won't cost you any fortune, and we give reasonable terms.

MUCH INTEREST IS TAKEN
Oregon Horticultural Society Desires
to Secure Exhibits From Every
Fruitgrowing -County Through
out the , Whole State.
Oregon's apple show, to be held in
Portland November 30 to December 2,
inclusive, is going- to be the largest and
best ever conducted under the auspices
of the Oregon Horticultural Society,
according to Secretary Frank W.
Power. The premium list will contain
'many attractive prizes. This list will
be completed within a few days, and
will : be distributed throughout the
Ot ate.
"There is every indication that the
coming show will be a 'hununer,' "
said Mr. Power yesterday. "We are
i receiving Inquiries from many of the
; prominent fruitgrowers in the state
and much interest is being shown in
the enterprise. I am particularly anx
hlous that the growers begin to make
preparations now for their exhibits,
'specially In the way of spraying and
'caring for the fruits they wish to dis
play. "Every fruitgrower will be sent a
copy of the premium list if possible.
'All not now on our mailing list can get
a copy from me at Room 2 in the Lum
bermen's Building. I have requested
every fruitgrowers' association in the
state to forward me the names of
growers in their respective districts.
Any commercial organization not al
ready represented on my list is asked
to offer a premium for fruit grown in
the county where the organization is
located. We would like to have a
premium offered In every fruit-growing
county in the state, and also hope to
have an exhibit at the apple show from
all the fruit-producing counties. The
only way to make the show a big suc
cess is for every grower and county
organization to help us.
"This year we are going to give
special prizes for the best exhibits
made by growers living East of the
Deschutes River. We hope to have
spirited rivalry between the growers in
the Eastern part of the state and ex
pect many exhibits from that district.
"This show is only a lorerunn-r for
the one next year, rhen we wUl be
able to have exhibits in carload lots.
We expect to make the Oregon apple
how ultimately as large and import
ant as any exhibition of the kind ever
held."

will be offered. A diploma will be
awarded to each winner of a cash prize.

AS TO A JOINT SENATORSHIP
Mr. Eastliam, of Clackamas, In
dulges in Hairsplitting.
OREGON CITY, Or., July 2S. (To the
Editor.) Commenting:, to the . writer's
prejudice. In the Issues of last Satur
day and Sunday, on the joint Senatorial
situation in the district comprising
Multnomah. Clackamas and Columbia
Counties, The Oregonian assumes the
"regularity" of the Multnomah County
candidate. In its argument it takes as
a premise the substance of. dispute
The Oregonian of Friday morning,
July 22, announced that the delegations
representing Multnomah. Clackamas
and Columbia Counties, these compris
ing the 14th Senatorial district, in joint
caucus Indorsed for joint Senator a
Multnomah County candidate While
your reporter stated to the writer that
he had information from the Multnomah
delegation that such a caucus was held
and such action taken, I can say posi
tively that there was not a member of
the Clackamas or Columbia County del
egation in the caucus.
After this announcement was made
and the news item confirmed by your
reporter, the Clackamas and Columbia
County delegations, meeting Jointly, by
resolution now on file with the secre
tary of the state assembly, selected
the writer as the assembly candidate
for joint Senator. After this action
was taken, and just at the close of the
state assembly," the Multnomah County
delegation drew eight or nine Clacka
mas and Columbia County delegates
Into a pretended joint caucus and at
temped to gain the form of "regular
ity" by again indorsing their candidate.
I declined to allow my name to be con
sidered and stated plainly and em
phatically that I would not be bound
by such proceeding. Unless the Mult
nomaa County candidate bases his
Aieod aufe mm morals, Oub Jaa.-x fai- L-flalm iq J'juialVjsq the rldaj;- af
ternoon "fiasco," his sole claim to be
ing the assembly candidate rests on his
Indorsement by the Multnomah delega
tion following the instruction of the
Multnomah County assembly.
While the Multnomah County assem
bly named a delegation 354 strong, this
delegation was not left free to counsel
and advise with the Clackamas and
Columbia County delegations, but was
bound hard and fast, with positive In
struction to cast its overpowering vote
for the Multnomah County candidate.
So the Multnomah delegation, in this
matter, became an executive and not a
deliberative body. Since the action of
the county assembly cast 354 votes
against less than a possible 100 for
Clackamas and Columbia Counties,
Multnomah County, in county assem
bly, assumed the right to name the
candidate.' Is this what you call "ad
visory assembly'?
Is this what you call representative
government? You teach the doctrine
that the essence of a Republican form
of government lies in delegated author
ity, and you distinguish between pure
ly executive and deliberative power.
You maintain that It is not Republi
canism to have representatives bound
to a specific line of action. This, fun
damentally, is your argument against
Statement No. 1. And now that this
non-Republican and even un-American
system is invoked against me, where
upon I protest, by whatk process of
reasoning do you charge me with a mo
tive of furthering the cause of the ad
vocates of Statement No. 1?
Could a state assembly made up of
Instructed delegations be an advisory
or deliberative body? Had the Multno
mah delegation been instructed by the
county assembly to cast its vote as a
unit for Jay Bowerman for Governor,
would The Oregonian have hesitated to
declare such action directly contrary
to the spirit of advisory assembly? The
Oregonian may hold that such action
would not have been binding on the
delegation, but I submit to you, never
theless, that, it would have been ef
fective, for few of the delegates, if any,
would have had the hardihood to ig
nore it. It was likewise effective In
the matter of the Joint Senator-ship.
The Statement No. 1 to which the mem
bers of the Multnomah delegation sub
scribed, by implication, was that, if
named on the delegation, they would
support the candidate for Joint Sena
tor already having received the vote
of the county assembly. Are you going
to champion the doctrine of Statement
No. 1 on such occasions as result to
yoar satisfaction?
in question.' according to the best in
formation I have at hand, Multnomah
County, after receiving her apportion
ment of, six Senators, had a remaining
fractional population of about 6000 to
apply toward a Joint Senatorial dis
tricts and to complete, it Clackamas and
Columbia Counties had about 10,000. A
similar condition prevailed when Mult
nomah and Clackamas Counties made
up the Joint Senatorial district in 1899.
So Multnomah County, contributing less
than half the papulation that goes to
make upthe joint district, claims now,
fop the third consecutive time, the priv
ilege of naming the candidate
When the district was created in 1899
the Clackamas County delegation in the
Legislature yielded to the persuasion of
the Multnomah County delegation to
make the joint Senatorial district Mult
nomah and Clackamas Counties, instead
of Marlon and Clackamas. Clackamas
County's consent to this arrangement
was obtained, however, under, the posi
tive assurance that she should con
tinue to name the joint Senator at al
ternate terms. The Republican party
of Multnomah County now seeks to
override its compact and in absolute
disregard of justice and good faith at
tempts to place a candidate In the field
and by a trick endeavors to decorate
him with the insignia of "party regu
larity." I insist that the compact entered into
by the Republican party of Multnomah
County, through its delegation in the
Legislature, - is more binding-on -the
party than the action of the Statement
No. 1 delegation in the state assembly;
and therefore, since this compact re
linquishes Multnomah's claim, the priv
ilege of naming the candidate devolves
upon the Clackamas and Columbia
County delegations. And furthermore,
if Multnomah County was entitled to a
voice in naming the candidate, her del
egation in the state assembly, not be
ing free to deliberate on this matter,
or consult or advise with the remain
ing delegations of the district, was dis
qualified to act. The, assembly candi
date is the candidate selected by the
Clackamas and Columbia County dele
gations jointly.
Regarding The Oregonlan's further
comment on this subject in the Sunday
issue, anything that might be said per
taining to the comparative prospects of
success of a Multnomah or Clackamas
County candidate would be, in its na
ture, a campaign contribution. That
would be improper here, but it may not
be out of the way to express my feel
ing that the ipirit of fair play is very
strong with the American people and
County would feel like standing by the
pledge made to Clackamas County.
O. W. EASTHAM.
' There Is no proper parallel to be drawn
between so-called Instructions to the Mult
nomah delegates as to the joint Senator-
ship and Statement No. 1. In the latter
case the candidate for the Legislature de
liberately signs a written pledge to evade
his sworn duty and abandon his party
in the Legislature in certain contin
gencies not necessary now to recite. In
the other case the delegation as a
whole was notified that it was desired
by the county assembly to follow a
certain line of prescribed conduct We
will not argue the question now as to
whether the instructions were proper.
That is a question between the county
assembly and the Multnomah delega
tion. The Multnomah delegation at the
state assembly cast its vote for another
than Mr. Eastham, thus defeating him.
Any assertion that its acts had no valid
ity because of . previous Instructions is
absurd.
As to that celebrated agreement sup
posed to have been made by members
of the Legislature In 1899, The Ore
gonian has asked a member of that
session If he knew anything about such
a compact and he says he cannot re
member of any such thing. The Ore
gonian desires to hear of any other
who will make a specific statement as
to any agreement or understanding
then made with Clackamas County by
Multnomah. But .suppose there was
such an agreement. In what possible
way could It be made binding on a Re
publican state assembly 11 years there
after? The 354 delegates from Mult
nomah County in the recent assembly
could have - but slight knowledge, if
any, of such a 'compact and could not
be governed by an arrangement they
had no part in, and about which they
had never been consulted.
The primary concern of these 3G4
Multnomah delegates, and their only
real concern, was, first, to nominate
the best and most representative man
in the joint Senatorial district; second,
to nominate the best vote-getter, re
gardless of any question of residence
or locality. This duty as between Mr.
i SJarJS .and, Jgr, asiharn, tie MjULcojnaji
delegation and the state assembly cer
tainly performed with Its best Judgment.
