TTTE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy, TOHTI.AXD, NOVEMBER 7. 1915. WASHINGTON DELAYS -CANDIDATE CHOICE State Offers Virgin Field to Aspirants to Presidential Nomination. TALK FOR ROOT DWINDLES State Officials Are Not Considered Factors in Selection of Delegates '.to National Convention Sims Is Supporting Weeks. 6X.YMPIA, Wash., Nov. 6. (Special.) The State of Washington offers virgin field for candidates for the Re publican presidential nomination. No one of the numerous receptive eandi dates who has visited the state during the past Summer appears to have made any appreciable number of active con verts and state officials- declare that in -their memory there has never been an ante-Presidential year so far ad vanced and so "open" in its political aspect. Without .exception the Republican officials declare their own minds still open to suggestions. There is. in fact, much less of an approximation to a choice than at any previous time within the last few months, as ex-Senator Boot, of New York, had been looked up to by many as a. likely candidate. Since the rejeotion of the new New York constitution, there is less talk of Root as an available candidate. - Senator Weeks Is Supported. In any .event, however, it is unlikely that any of the state officials will be factors in the selection of Washington delegates to the Republican National convention, as with the exception of State Treasurer Edward Meath, who is Ineligible for re-election and the pos sible exception of Attorney-General W. V. .Tanner, who may decide to enter the field of private law practice, all officials will be candidates to succeed themselves. E. A. Sims, of Port Townswend, ac knowledged majority leader in the last three legislatures, has come out for Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, for the Presidency. In the event that he is not himself a candidate for state office, Sims may prove a strong factor In the pre-convention campaign in this state and his choice is interesting from this, viewpoint, but otherwise Weeks does not appear to have made strong converts. ' Bull Moose Return Intimated. When Colonel Roosevelt paid Wash ington a flying visit a few months ago, he left the impression, among Progres sives who met him in secret conference that the candidacy of Justice Hughes, of the Supreme Court, for the Presi dential nomination : might afford an ideal opportunity for Bull Moose to re turn to the Republican party without too much inconsistency and at the same time possibly gain control of the party organization. With Justice Hughes a candidate and under conditions of popular selection of delegates, the former New York Governor undoubtedly would appeal strongly to the average voter in this state. Washington, however, has no Presidential primary and delegates to the National convention next year will be selected by convention and there is among- the Regulars a suspicion that Hughes la essentially a Bull Moose candidate. Impression Fostered by Inquiries. This impression, originally left by Roosevelt, was fostered to some degree, by inquiries made in Hughes' behalf, during the session of the recent leg islature, by Federick Davenport, Pro gressive candidate for Governor of New York in 1912. The fact that since his visit to this state Davenport has announced his re turn to the Republican party has not endeared hira to an element of the party leaders, since the New Yorker made his trip serve also as the basis for an article in the Outlook, severely criticising the recent legislature for its conservative tendencies. State officials are practically a unit in declaring that Senator Borah would be a strong cndidate except for geo graphical conditions, which generally are considered insurmountable. Lively Issue Is Expected. It is likely that the absence of a Presidential primary law in Wash ington will be a lively issue in the state campaign next year. With the memory of the twin Chicago conven tions and their twin . Republicans at Aberdeen in 1912 still fresh, the 1913 Legislature, it seemed probable, would make the passage of a presidential primary law one of its first acts. Dissension developed between back ers of two different bills, however, and finally the House passed a bill, next to the last night of the session, too late for passage by the Senate, leaders de claring, however, that there was suf ficient time at the 1916 session. The Democratic-Progressive minority introduced such a bill at the recent session in accordance with the recom mendation of Governor Lister's mes sage, but the majority declined to ac cept the proposal and brought forward no other measure in its place. One-Term Plank Overlooked. There is no discussion whatever among Democrats of any Presidential candidates, party leaders" generally ac cepting the candidacy of President Wil son for re-election, notwithstanding the one-term plank in the National platform. This view is shared by the former Clark supporters, whg carried the state three years ago and who are in con trol of the party machinery here now. Although Bryan formerly had a strong following among Washington Democrats, his break with the Presi dent on the preparedness issue ap parently has alienated his strongest supporters and there is no doubt but tnat- in the event of a widening of the political breach between Wilson and Bryan, the overwhelming majority of Democrats in this state would follow Wilson. TIMBER DEAL IS REPORTED Hosrer Younians Company Exected to Build Mill Near Prineville. PRIXEVILLE. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The development of the lumber in dustry in Central Oregon is expected to cause an immense increase in the business and population in Prineville. Reliable information confirms the ru mor that the Roger Youmans Lumber Company has practically completed its trade with the United States Govern ment, by which ihe lumber company will exchange a large amount of scat tered lands and get a solid block of about 40.001) acres of valuable timber in what is known as the Ochoco forest reserve. The company will have in the neigh borhood of 300.000,000 feet, whiA will have to be milled within 20 years and will necessitate immediate construc tion of a sawmill and railroad. Two mill, sites are under considera tion, one or which is In Prineville, which the business men of Prineville no doubt -will donate to the company, and the other is about 20 miles above Prineville on the Ochoco River. - BASKET WILLOWS THRIVE Chehalis Club Is Considering Devel opment of Industry. CHEHALIS, Wash., Nov. . (Spe cial.) The growing of basket willows has been successfully demonstrated here by Dan Wisner, a well-known farmer living ten miles west of this city. Three years ago Mr. Wisner Planted a basket willow -shrub and this year cut about 100 fine shoots from the same, some of them being 12 feet long. Mr. Wisner states that the basket willow does best, In this country, on the clay of heavy soils and he would recommend that it be grown on that kind of land, rather than on sandy soil. Inasmuch as the manufacture of furni ture and baskets from the basket wil low is a great industry in some parts of the United States, the Citizens' Club, of Chehalis, will make efforts to get in touch with someone who might be interetsed in the development of an Industry of the kind here. HOOD RIVER FEARS QUIETED Oregon Lumber Company Not to At tack Interests Around Salt Lake. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 6. (Spe cial.) Charles T. Early, manager of the Oregon Lumber Company, lias quieted the fears of local people, who have entertained the opinion that the lumber company would direct its op erations toward Lost Lake, and that the shores of this scenic point would be despoiled of the magnificent growth of firs and cedars. Mr. Early has as sured members of the Commercial Clu that the lumbering operations of the company will be pushed south of the west fork of Hood River, high up on the base of Mount Hood, where timber is available for the next 15 years. "If we happen to strike the new proposed troad to Lost Lake," says Mr. Early, "we will leave a protecting strip of timber on each side of the route. There is little, fear of us ever attacking our Interests around Lost Lake." PHARMACY RULE IS VOIDJ College Attendance Requirement for Test Held Enforceable. SALEM. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The rule recently laid down by the Oregon Board of Pharmacy that, besrinnim? th "first of next year, all candidates for examination for pharmacists or phar macist assistants must have attended at least one year at a college of phar macy recognized by the American Con ference of Pharmaceutical Faculties and that beginning January 1, 1917, all must be graduates of a college of phar macy recognized by the American con ference, was held today to be unen forceable by Attorney-General Brown. The Attorney-General gave the opin ion in response to a request by Frank Ward, a member of the Oregon Board of Pharmacy. The opinion sets forth that as the statute expressly defines the qualifications of applicants for pharmacist certificates the board can not make other regulations. NORTHWEST NOW DRAWING Germans and English Coming Here ' After War Is Over. HOOD. RIVER, Or., Nov. 6. (Spe cial.) During the past week R E. Scott, secretary of the local Commer cial Club, has received inquiries about Hood River and the Oregon Country in general from England and Germany. Two of the letters from England state that the writers contemplate locating in the Northwest as soon as the war is ended. The club also has received an inquiry from an American Army officer in the Philippines, who says he will seek a home in the Northwest as soon as his term of service in the islands expires. IDAHO POLITICS TO BE FREE OF SALOON Party Leaders Relieved That Liquor Is No Longer to Be Issue in State. GOVERNOR STARTS WORK Preparation Made for Enforcement of Stringent Measure and Advice as to Powers Is Asked of Attorney-General Peterson. BOISE.. Idaho, Nov. 6. (Special.) Party leaders are actually relieved be cause the days are numbered for the salooi In this state. In less than two montns It will be the most- arid spot in the entire West, for what is said to be the most rigid prohibition law ever passed by a Legislature and held constitutional by a Supreme Court will become effective January 1, 191?. Since territorial days the saloon has been a factor in politics, and there has been constant agitation against it. In the future, it is hoped, party leaders will not have to face an embaxassing liquor issue. But this issue will not entirely be eliminated, at least for another year, for at the general election voters will pass upon the question of amending the state constlution to prohibit for ever the manufacture of intoxicating beverages in the state. Even the liquor people concede the amendment will -carry. It Is now doubtful if they will attempt to make a fight against it. A majority of 15,000 " is predicted for the amendment. The prohibition ists, however, are taking no cbances. Already they have taken steps to or ganize the state by precincts to make pertain of the predicted victory. I.atv to Be Strictly Enforced. The saloon has seen its last days in Idaho. Although probably only pledged to their constituents to pass the constitutional amendment for sub mission to the electors, the Legislature went two steps farther. It passed the stringent local option amendatory act, which now applies to counties that are dry and will apply to the state as a whole next January. Then it passed a state-wide prohi bition act. making Idaho prohibition territory on that date. That there will be as rigid enforce ment of the law in the state as it is severe was made evident to leaders of all parties this week by Governor Alex ander when he wrote to the Attorney General asking for advice as to his powers in regard to law enforcement. Governor Asks'' as to Powers. "I would like to know," said the Gov ernor, "what power the Governor pos sesses in order to aid the various Sher iffs and prosecuting attorneys of the state in the enforcement of this law, and if any of the county officers should be negligent in enforcing such law, let me know If the Governor possesses the authority to compel them to enforce said law."' The greatest objection to the strin gent prohibition act, is the so-called "possession" clause and to test out the alleged violation of the Constitution of the United States regarding per sonal rights, the liquor interests pro pose to carry their case to the United States Supreme Court. The appeal is now being perfected. It is based on the judgment of the Supreme Court of this state in the Crane ase wherein the district or local option amendatory law was attacked. Saloons Lose Rapidly. This law absolutely prohibits the possession of liquor by any corpora tion, firm or individual in prohibition territory except when it is procurea for medicinal or scientific purposes. MIDDLE WEST PIONEERS ARE MARRIED 62 YEARS Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Duel, of Sheridan, Who Lived in Cabin on Site of Omaha, Celebrate Anniversary. ''h - - k y - -1- I .... ggfl ' ' '" " SIR. AND MRS. a. II. H El,. SHERIDAN, Or., Nov. fr-(Special) . Mr. and Mrs. G, R. Duel, pf this place, celebrated their sixty-second wedding anniversary October 27. Their health is good, and acpording to Mr. Duel "a few years more and we can celebrate our hundreth." He is 86 and she is 82. The couple were married in Warren County. Iowa, in 1&53. At that time marriage certificates were not required and it was only last Summer that after the request of Mr. Duel he received their marriage certificate from the County Clerk of Warren County, They had been married for 63 years without what is now a necessary document. In the Spring of 1854 the two went to Nebraska and Mr. Duel took up a claim on the site of the present. City of Omaha. "At that time there was but one cabin besides my own where Omaha now stands," says Mr. DueL "But there were plenty of Indians and mosqui toes. And that was a combination hard to beat. If we didn't chain the steers up every night the Indiana would take them. And if we chained them up the mosquitoes tormented them. Indiana Provo Exempt, . -"But the pests did not bother the In dians in the least. The old bucks would roll up in their blankets and sleep the whole night long even if they couldn't see the moon for clouds of mosquitoes." Mr. Duel was a brick moulder and attempted to establish a brick plant for a company. He moulded the first brick for Omaha and was just getting the plant well under way wheg his H'ife became ill and necessitated their removal from Nebraska. In July of 1855 he faded his claim for a yoke of steers and a log chain and left with his wife on the return trip to Iowa. Two months later this claim was sold for $8000. From Iowa the couple went to Kan sas and thence to Missouri. They were in -this state when the Civil War broke out. Mr. Duel enlisted from St. Joseph in 1862 and served In the Kourth Mis souri Cavalry, Company K, three years and 17 days. "Then he settled down until in the '90s. when he. took a trip West and went down into the Oklahoma country.. At this time there was some land about to be opened and he looked over the territory with the intention of returning for the jand rush. Raee for Land Won, When this land in Oklahoma was opened in 1893 Mr. Duel was there. "Thousands were on hand," he says. "and everyone was wild. . I had a right buggy and a good team and at the opening hour I started out -on a 35 mile race. There were no roads and it was a hair-raising, mad race from start to finish because there were so many who had the same intentions. But I won and settled on some choice land." Mrs. Duel came to the new home later and the couple resided here until 1902, when stakes again were pulled and the move made to Sheridan, Or. This nlaoe has since been thein home. Mr. Duel was born ,in New York State and Mrs. Duel in Indiana. Their children are Dexter S. Duel, of Okla homa; H. F. Duel and Mrs. M. A. Trib ble, ofNPortland; George A. Duel, of Oklahoma; M, C Duel, of Sheridan, and Mrs. G. L. Pattfe, of Eugene.

This etrikes at the lookers and .every other possible i at tempt to keep liquor for personal use,' Party leaders have witnessed a strange transformation in this 'state. In 1909 the local option law was passed. There were more than 1000 saloons in Idaho then. Now there are less than 190. Many of the breweries have closed and the dismantling of others is now Jn progress. Not a few of them will be turned into cold stor age plants, elevators or mills. Since the passage of the act S3 local option elections -have been held. Today-25 counties are operating under that law and constitute dry territory. DALLAS ORGANIZES CLUB Business Men Consider PJan for Or der Similar to Kosarians. DALLAS, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)

COTTON GROWN IN OREGON Member of State Experiment Station Gets Plant 30 Inches Tall. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 6. (Spe cial.) Probably the first cotton ever to be grown to maturity in Oregon has been raised this year on the J. F. McLean place by LeRoy Childs, a mem ber of the staff of the local branch of the Oregon State Experiment Station. While the cotton was' not planted until in June, it is now 30 inches tall and the branches are loaded with bolls two inches in length. The bolls, filled with fiber, probably will burst open when touched by the nrst heavy frost. "In a year with normal weather," says Mr. Childs. "I do not think the cotton plants would have thrived so well. The long continued dry, warm weather of Autumn has allowed it to attain its growth.' A number of ranchers who have never seen cotton plants growing have journeyed to the experimental farm. Toledo Seliools to Give Play. CEXTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 6.
