THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 10, 191G. " ELECTION DISPUTE INTERESTS IDAHO Contest Before Legislature Appears More Certain as , OfficiaJ Count Comes In. INSTRUCTIONS ARE ISSUE Some Increase !n Vote Is Laid to Natural (ialn in Population, to Healed Campaign and to X um ber of Sworn-In Voters. BOISE. Idaho, Nov. IS. (Special.) While it is not generally believed by pnrty leaaer.s that there was state wide fraid committed at the general election November 7, the charste is be ing repeatedly made and a searching investigation has been instituted by the Attorney-General's department. It is believed by many that the entire issue is destined to reach the Legislature for settlement. What gave rise to the charges of vio lation of the election law and fraud was the surprising increase in the vote at the last election. It was also dis covered that thousands of voters were sworn in in all parts of the state on election day. There was an increase of 47.000 in votes in this state at the last general election over the general election four years, ago for President, which is equivalent to an increase in population during the four years of 122.500. The Presidential vote in 1908 was 97.288: in 1912, 105.000, and in 1916, 142,000. The Increase In the election vote of 1914 over the general election vote in 1912 was only 2000. Many Are Sworn In. The Legislature four years ago amended the registration law providing that voters must be registered 30 days before the date of the regular election. As a result many electors failed to register for the last general election. To save their votes they took advan tage of the freeholders' oath and went to the polls, where they were sworn in. It is generally conceded that elec tion officers were careless in the way In which they swore in these voters, but that there was a widespread conspir acy to defraud is doubted. In his instructions to County Attor neys, Attorney-General Peterson asks them to report to him, as follows: First The number of voters in the county registered on election day -under the provisions of section 4, chapter 92, tsefsion laws of 1913. Second Whether these persons so registered on election day were author ized to be registered and to vote under the laws of the state. Population on Increase. , The increase in the vote in this state is accounted for by many as due first to the unusual situation that arose in the Presidential race and the para mount issues involved and second to the natural increase in population of the state during the past four years. With regard to the first cause, it Is cited that Idaho was carrfrd 15,000 strong for President Wilson, when this is a state normally Republican by that plurality. Many people, especially wom en, who had never voted before or taken a great interest in the election, did this time. For the second cause, it is pointed out that because of the lands open to entry in many counties in the state in the past four years there has been a steady increase in population. The real contest that has arisen in this state over the Governorship is what is holding the attention of the people. Governor Alexander, his sup porters and friends, have persistently claimed since the election that he had a safe plurality of 500 or 00 votes. D. W. Davis. Secretary W. C. Gregory, of the Republican State Central Com mittee, and the committee have never conceded the Governor a plurality of more than 300 arki they have cut that in two on late returns. There appears to be a determination on both sides to carry .the fight to a finish, which ac counts for the possibility it may go to the courts and Legislature. Instructions CauKe lilnpute. In the concrete, here is the bone of contention: Under the Idaho election law an elector may vote what is desig nated as a "straight" ballot by placing a cross in the circle below the name of the party for which he or she desires to vote. The instruction on the ballot to guide the elector is as follows: "You can vote a ticket 'straight' by placing an X in large circle below the name of party you wish to vote for. You can scratch' your ticket by erasing name on straight ticket you do not wish to vote for and placing an X in small circle on right of name you wish to vote for." This instruction sought to make it possible to vote a ticket straight by the -use of a cross at the top, but left a double instruction that if there was "Next Morning" Headaches (By PR. L W. BOWER.) One of the characteristic headaches due to uric acid in the system, which acts as a poison when it accumulates, is due to alcohol taken the night be fore. The kidneys do not succeed in throwing off this poisonous accumu lation, the stomach is nauseated, or the blood congests in the head, caus ing throbbing pain, called headache the heart is depressed, circulation of blood poor to the extremities, the i.iuscles feel tired, or twinges of pain here and there are felt, and when this uric acid is deposited in the tis sues or joints it causes rheumatism or gout. I always advise the drinking of hot water, a half pint in the morn ing, and a little Anuric. Sometimes the "blues," or a sort of rash, or pimply face, gives warning of a "uric acid storm." At such times always take this Anuric, which can be ob tained at almost any drug store, and which you will find dissolves the uric acid almost as hot water does sugar. Avoid too much meat, tea and alco hol. Drink an abundance of water, both hot and cold. Take Anuric three times a day until the bad symptoms all subside. This is the best way to avoid rheumatism and many of the pains and aches due to a uric acid oondition. If you drink any alcoholic beverage you should keep the kidneys and liver active with Anuric, so as to throw off the poisons which accu mulate. If your tongue is coated a dark brown taste, breath foul, fol lowed sometimes by colds, indiges tion, biliousness, constipation or sour acid stomach, you should take some vegetable laxative. Such a one is made in sugar-coated form from the May-apple, leaves of aloe and root of jalap, and commonly sold by almost all druggists as Dr. Dierce's Pleas ant Pellets. They are standard and have been in ready-to-use form for nearly fifty years. Adv. ' another candidate on another ticket the elector wished to vote for he could do so. There were six columns reserved on the ballots: First, Republican; second. Democratic; third, Socialist; fourth. Prohibition; fifth, nonpartisan, and sixth, a blank column. What happened was this: Republicans wishins- to vote the ticket straight with the exception, say of Governor, placed a cross in the circle at the top of their ticket, then jumpea over into the Democratic col umn and placed a cross after the name of Governor Alexander, but neglected to erase the name of D. W. Davis. Those Democrats wishing to vote their ticket straight, but to scratch Alexander, placed a, cross in the circle at the top or tneir ticket and iumDintr into the Republican column placed a cross after uavis name but failed to erase the Governor's name.. When the ballots so scratched were counted, two systems were followed. One was to count the ticket with a circle at the top. straight Republican or Democratic and the other to count the scratches for the respective candi dates. This appears to have depended largely on the political complexion of the judges. The friends of Davis say he lost many votes in this way. Intent Declared Kirst. The Attorney-General has held that the intent of the voter governs Irre spective of the cross in the circle. It is to bring about the recount of these scratched ballots the Davis people are contending. Such a recount can only be made by the Legislature. Both branches of that body are Democratic. The, Idaho Direct Legislation League announces, following a canvass of the personnel or the Legislature-elect of this state, th,at two-thirds of its mem bers are pledged to the passage of a constitutional amendment providing for the initiative, and referendum. If the pledge is kept and the amendment passed it will be voted upon lor ratltl cation two years hence. MOVABLE SCHOOL READY AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE WILL EX- TED SERVICE. Districts Meeting Requirements Are to Benetlt and Several Communities Request Visits. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 18. (Special.) A plan whereby different communities of the state may obtain movable schools as a substitute for miscellaneous lec tures has been worked out by the ex tension service of the Oregon Agricul tural College. Already several re quests for such schools have been filled and others are being arranged. The plan will continue throughout the year, and the schools will be in charge of specialists in the different phases ol agricultural and home economics. These schools are given to such dis tricts as are interested to the extent of meeting the requirements as set forth by the college concerning at tendance, a. place of meeting and other details. Programmes on soils, crops, plant diseases, drainage and cultural operations will be given by Professor J. 10. Larson, of the department of agronomy. Different phases of dairy and animal industry will be handled by Professor E. B. Fitts. dairy specialist, and Professor W. S. Brown will give lectures and demonstrations on horti cultural subjects, dealing especially with, pruning and spraying. The breeding, feeding and manage ment of poultry, which has been prac ticed successfully on the college farms, will be covered by Professor C. C Lamb, as will also problems in the marketing of eggs. The principles of cooking will be demonstrated by Pro fessor Anna M. Turley, and she will also discuss problems that are to be met and overcome in the movement for better social conditions in the rural homes. PORTLAND MEN Of! GREW TWO SURE OF" PLACES AT WASH INGTON AM) THIRD LIKELY. Seattle Varsity Eight to Gain Several Members When Football SeaHon Ends. UNIVERSITT OI WASHINGTON. Seattle. Nov. 18. (Special.) When the football men put their suits on the shelf for another year the Washingon ton varsity eight, now going through its daily workouts on Lake Washing ton, will be reinforced by the addition of several veterans. The freshmen crew, spurred on by its hopes for a triangular race with the baby crews of the Universities of California and Stanford, has been turning out all Fall under the coach ing of several varsity eight men and Captain Tom Cushman. Crew Coach Conibear has returned from the East, and each night his of ficial launch Target is seen following in the wake of the freshmen shells, with the silvered-haired coach giving the first-year men their instructions through a megaphone. About 20 freshmen have been picked by the coach as first boat material, and have survived the weeding-out process. Conibear this year will have on his varsity eight Sam Briggs. of Portland, who is now playing substitute fullback for Dobie: "Shorty" Harr. a six-foot-three veteran, also of Portland, who will pull No. 5. The third likely rep resentative on the crew from Port land will be Charley Fleischman, who all but made the first crew last year, and seems assured of & seat in the boat this year. CORN SHOW IS PLANNED SOUTHERN. OREGON AFFAIR WILL BE HELD AT GRANTS PASS. Banks, Railway Company and BujiI nexs Houmcs Offer Prises and Back Up Proposal. GRANTS PASS, Or., Nov. IS. (Spe cial.) Plans for the holding of the first Southern Oregon corn show in Grants Pass are now under way. It is proposed to hold the show during the early part of November, 1917, and farmers in all parts of Southern Ore gon will be invited to compete for the valuable prizes and trophies that will be offered. The meeting for the organization of the new enterprise was held at the Commercial Club, and a directing com mittee headed by. It. B. Miller, vice president of the California & Oregon Coast Railroad Company, was named. Other members of the committee are Clarence Winetrout, Dr. Bywater, Sam Baker and Wilford Allen. A number of prizes already have been guaranteed by the banks, the railroad company and business, houses, and the farmers are taking much interest in the proposed show. "Farmer" Smith, of the O.-W. R. & N. Co., who was here recently and addressed the people upon the subject of corn growing, created much enthusiasm .upon the subject. Many silos have been built during the past year, and corn will be the crop that the beet growers will use in rota tion with beets, NEW ROUTE CHOSEN Robert Strahorn Makes De cision at Klamath Falls. FINE HOMES ARE SPARED Oregon, California & Eastern Rail way to Enter City on West Side of Link River General Good Factor in Selection. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Nov. 18. (bpecial.) Robert E. Strahorn. presi dent of the Oregon. California & East ern Railroad Company, today announced for the first time the route of his new line through the city. Mr. Strahorn. after pointing out the three most ac ceptable of the five different routes surveyed, said that the one up Link ttiver naa been decided on. "This last-named route now seems in most respects the best as it does not in any wise interfere with the many beautiful homes on the east bank of the River," said Mr. Strahorn. "and has no other objectionable points save tin crossing of the river twice. I have de tided that we will stand for these two crossings for the general good, and this 'route may, therefore, be consid ered adopted unless some unexpected and quite serious obstacle arises." "We are therefore making final lo cation, coming in on an absolutely straight line all the way from Olene, 12 miles east of here, crossing the Southern Pacific main line on about what would be Third street extended. proceeding westward to a point near the city blocks and city park, over which we enter Klamath avenue, thence for a few hundred feet through Klam ath avenue to the river. "After crossing the river the line will follow as near the river bank as possible to Upper Klamath Lake, where it recrosses to the east bank, and proceeds through Shippington to the temporary terminus in the vicinity of the Pelican Bay Lumber Company's plant. This gives us easy grades all the way on a route which is least objec tionable from all standpoints to the city generally, and the line thus locat ed will best serve every industry which may ever be established on Lake Ewau na below the city or around the lower end of Upper Klamath Lake above the city." It has been understood here that much of the opposition to the road re sulted from the rumor that it would probably run up the east side of Link River, along which there were many beautiful and expensive residences. The greatest percentage of adverse votes to the bond issue last Tuesday was found to be in the territory along Link River, in which were located these beautiful homes. However, it is thought that the announcement that the road will proceed up the west bank of the River will relieve the fears of resultant harm and win many more supporters for the line. "It seems to me that with the prop er pull and push altogether here. Klam ath Falls people should be driving the golden spike of a completed line as far as Dairy by next Fourth of July." said Mr. Strahorn, "and at least as rtr as Sprague River by this time next Kail." Incubator Used by Miller in Bread Tests. Pomeroy Man Does Dally Baking to Prove Product. POMEROT, Wash.. Nov. 18. (Special.) Raising his sponge in an incu bator and using an electric bake oven, R. H. Kribs, manager of the Pomeroy Flour Mills, tests the quality of the flour produced at the mill every 24 hours by baking three loaves of bread daily. When Mr. Kribs installed Lis lab oratory for experimenting a year ago be -remodeled a chicken incubator to fit his needs in bread-making. Mr. Kribs gets best results by raising his sponge at a steady temperature and for this reason the incubator is equipped with a thermostat, which keeps the temperature at approximately 86 de grees. The exact recipe is followed every day, the ingredients used are accurately measured and each process in the bread-making is completed as regular as clockwork. Considerable experimenting has been done by Mr. Kribs to get the best results. The following recipe is used: Three-fourths of a cake of yeast is dissolved in l'fc pints of water, then mixed with flour until stiff. Tl is is placed in the Incubator. After raising over night, half a pint of water, a small tablespoonful of lard, three teaspoon fuls of salt and two of rugar are e 'ded and mixed with the dough. It is then set to rise for an hour and a half be fore it is punched down. After rising an hour longer it is made into leaves. Before going to. the electric ov.n. where it bakes exactly one hour and five minutes, it is allowed to --. an other hour. Kish Quarantine Proposed.' SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Nov. 18.

CAUSE OF EACH PUBLISHED Government Issues Bulletin Com piled With Aid of Oregon Ag ricultural College Following Survey In Nation. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLJjEGE. Corvallis. Nov. 18. (Special.) The suc cess of co-operative stores In Great Britain, Denmark. Switzerland and other European countries and the re sulting stimulus Riven to similar or ganizations In the United States has led to a grreat number of appeals for in formation concerning- the feasibility of such stores as a remedy for the grreat expense of distribution and the result ing high cost of living;. With a view to obtaining some definite information on the Bubject, the Office of Markets and Kurai Organization of the United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the Oregon Agricul tural College, conducted a survey of typical co-operative stories In all parts of the United States. The results are published by the Government in a bul letin Just issued entitled "A Survey of Typical Co-operative Stores in the United States." The authors of the bulletin are: J. A. Bexell, dean of the department of com merce of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege; Dr. Hector McPherson. head of the college bureau of organization and markets, and W. H. Kerr, of the United States Department of Agriculture. Of fice of Markets and Rural Organization. The figures collected lead to the con clusion that the majority of the stores are unsuccessful in achieving their main object savings on purchases to members and a reduction of the high cost of living. However. In most in stances the co-operative stores led to the improvement of business methods In th towns where they were estab lished. 7 he success of the co-operative store was found to rest on strong leadership. capable management, favorable envl- ronment and adequate legal safeguards. A A Southeast Corner 5th and Alder Failure was found to be caused by the lack of the above essentials. "With the application of efficient business methods and the education of the farmer to a clear understanding of the functions of co-operative stores," ays Dr. McPherson. "American co-operative stores may be made successful. Those associations which procure ca pable managers, take advantnge of large-scale purchasing and rash dis counts, maintain proper accounts and cost records and watch stock turnovers are invariably the most successful."
