Mr. Edwards called attention to the
fact that when he first arrived at New

and not. very much of that. Now inten

and with highly profitable results.
W. S. Wharton, president of ther New

be opened there.
President Piper, of the Portland

conditions" previously existing on the

the people of Newberg and vicinity co
operate. He said he was not at lib

Mr. Strahorn thought the boys were
trying to "Job" him and took the Joke
In good p&rt. The motorman, how
ever. Insisted that he ")lw the whistle
as a signal that It was time for the
train to leave.
Onion Center Adds to Party,
Frank W. Melville, editor of the
f-herwood Journal, Joined the party at
Fherwood. Fred J. Eppler. president of
the Commercial Club, extended the for
mal welcome. Among the principal
onion distributors at the station were
J. E. Morback, George W. Saylor, J. M.
Edwards and others.
Poultry and apples wera shown.
among other commodities, as the prin
clpal products of Rex and its environs.
N. L. Wiley had three or four cages
of fancy Black Minorca chickens on
exhibition. Moore Brothers, who own a
big duck ranch Just north of Rex, also
were out with a nice display. Several
boxes of high grade apples were dis
tributed and eagerly consumed. The
crowd was growing hungry by this
time.
The handiwork of Rex's women was
phown in the decorations that beautl
fled the station and its immediate
surroundings.
One of the women called attention
to the fact that Rex annually sends
to the Portland markets more than
000 crates of strawberries and that
other small fruit are produced in pro
Jportlonate volume.
v Mr. Strahorn Speaks.
Mr. Strahorn was permitted to make
Jiis speech at Rex without interrup
tion. He expressed his interest in the
enthusiasm manifested by the size of
the crowd at the station.
Springbrook was allotted only a few
minutes on the schedule. Some of the
travelers got out and saw the big
cannery that annually turns a lot of
fruit produced in the district into
money. Then they were off again.
By the time the train got to Newberg
the sun was doing a good business, and
overcoats were left in the cars. Every
top, including this one, was made on
schedule time. Arrival was at 10:55
und lunch was scheduled at 11:30,
Meanwhile the entire party marched up

ULL TIME WORK PROMISE
Portland Man Indorsed on Two Tick
ets at Primary Election First to
Announce Himself to Suc
ceed A. M. Crairford.
Frank S. Grant, City Attorney of
Portland from 1910 to 1913, and prior to
that Chief Deputy City Attorney for
three years, yesterday announced him
self a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Attorney - General of
Oregon.
In his petition, filed with the Secre
tary of State at Salem yesterday, Mr,
Grant makes the following statement:
"If nominated and elected, I will.
during my 'term of office, devote my
entire time to the woric of the office of
Attorney-General, require the same of
my assistants, and will endeavor, to the
best of my ability, to give to the citl
sens of the State of Oregon the same
legal service I sincerely tried to give
to the people of the City of Portland.
I desire to have printed alter my
name, on the nomination ballot, these
words: 'Will devote entire time to or
fice and endeavor to give conscientious
service.
Mr. Grant Known Widely.
Mr. Grant is known widely through
the state as well as in Portland. Among
the many important cases he handled
while City Attorney of Portland was
the Broadway-bridge case, which he
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States and won. Ho also argued
the litigation over the steam railway
in Fourth street before the United
States Supreme Court, and won that.
It was rather an unusual coincidence
that steam service in that street gave
way to the new electric service yester
day.
Heavy litigation against the city
was also personally presented by him in
the State Supreme court, no was a
member of two charter commissions in
Portland, and has always been a Re
publican.
Both Tickets Indorse ' Ulna.
In the city election of last June, at
which commission form of government
was also before the voters, Mr. Grant
was renominated for another term as
City Attorney, being indorsed for the
office on both the Republican and
Democratic tickets. The new commis
sion then adopted, however, made the
office appointive. Mr. Grant retired on
July 1 after another City Attorney had
been named.
He was admitted to the bar in 1896
and has practiced law in Portland ever
since. He is 40 years old, married and
has a family. Prior to becoming Deputy
City Attorney in 1907, Mr. Crant was
assistant chief clerk of the Oregon ben
ate in 1901, and chief clerk at the ses
sion of 1907.
Mr. Grant is the first to announce
himself a candidate for Attorney-General
to succeed A. M. Crawford, incum
bent, who is now a candidate for Gov
ernor after nearly 12 years as Attorney
General Others mentioned as probable
candidates for the Republican nomina
tlon are George M. Brown, of Roseburg,
and J. J. Fitzgerald, of Portland. The
name of William P. Lord, of Salem, son
of the late Governor Lord, is also heard.

war, which produced numbtrless
namesakes for Admiral Dewey, was
noted this week also. George Dewey
Tagpart, who said he was born Juno
11, 1896. applied for enli-itment.
Lieutenant Smith did a bit ot
arithmetic and then asked the boy:
"Were you named after Admiral
Dewey because of his success at
Manila Bay?"
"Yes." was the proud reply.
"Weil, I am sorry to say that the
battle of Manila Bay was fought
May 1, 1898, and if you were named
after that .you are only 16 years old
Instead of 18 as you have said," re
marked the Lieutenant.
The young fellow whose anxiety to
follow in the footsteps of his illustri

be obtained from any druggist, and should
