Sported w,: Nirel re- too his Traction Engine and Shoaf Loado To Ba Given In Hand Wheat Competition A traction engine has been do i 1 J a natea as tne sweepstake prize for the best bushel of hard wheat exhibited at the Interna tional Exposition of Dry-Farmed Products, Machinery, Farm Sanitation and Labor Saving Devices, to be held at Loth bridge, Alberta, October 21-2G, in conjunction with the Seventh International Dry-Farming Con gress. This is asserted to be the mos valuable prize ever offered for a single bushel of grain, and the donors, the M. Rumely Co.,o La Porte, Indiana, agrees to deliver it to the winner of a con test open to the world, the wheat to be grown on dry-farms in 1912, at their distributing agency nearest to his iarm guaranteeing all freight and also customs charges should the win ner live outside of the United States. The engine is known as the Rumely oil-pull tractor, type F. It is of 16-tractive and 30-brake horse-power, and is particulary adapted for farms of 150 to 600 acres. It is extensivey used in the United States, Canada, and Argentina, and many large farmers use several in their operations. It is claimed for it that it has cut the cost o production of a bushel of wheat, where used in the countries named, 10 cents, adding that much to the farmer's profit. It is a prize worthy of keenest competition and inquiries received by the position committee indicate that wheat growers from many countries will be exhibitors. The most valuable prize ever offered in open competition for the world for the best sheaf of hard wheat grown in 1912 is ,also announced by the exposition committee. It is a Stewart Sheaf Loader, listed at $500, and the donors, the Stewart Sheaf Loader Company, Ltd., of Win nipeg, will deliver the machine free of charge to the winner, whether he farms in the United States, Canada, or elsewlere The sheaf loader is a time and abor-saving device used in har vesting operations, and a prize hat will be appreciated by any thresher man or farmer. It will pick the sheaves from the stack or from the ground, when lying flat, and by means of carriers elevate the grain into the wagon. It is claimed it will load the wagons quickly enough to keep any threshing machine supplied with plenty of sheaves. It does he work of all the pitchers in tho field, and because it loads so quickly, fewer bundle wagons are required and a great saving is made in tho cost of labor. t or i-TsslMePC-SpBgBFLBMPBp the the ex 'ported coming Passed ud Mr. senti-llnff- and workers give most encouraging reports on the situation there. These reports come unsolicited, and as evidence of good will toward the candidate. Mr. Selling's platform is short and to the point. He favors the Oregon System and the support of all matters which concern tho state. Most noticeable is his support of the move for free passage, of American ships through the Panama Canal as tending to encourage a larger merchant marine, with all that such a thing means to the people of the Pacific slope, and especial ly to the state f Oregon. by American Press Association. WOMW WDLKi THE candidacy of the former president of Princeton university makes the cxprcsnlon "the scholar in politics" something more than a taunt in the mouths of politicians of the old type. During the time be has held of flco as governor of New Jersey Woodrow Wilson has made it evident that, though ho was bofore his election without practical experience in state or national politics, ho is a man to be reckoned with by those who have played the game for many years. His administration hes shown him to be the pos sessor of original ideas and of the force to carry them out, and bis speeches dollvcrcd throughout the country have added to his popularity. The with drawal at his own request of the formal support of Harper's Weekly, which has beon his foremost newspaper advocate, has added interest to his cam paign to secure the nomination at Baltimore. WORD'S HALL FRIDAY NIGHT SCENE OF BIG ION "Lonelyville" Girls to have Full Charge, Those Who Don't Go Will Miss the Time of Their Lives. Big Surprise to be Sprung But No Vindication as to Its Nature The Time Friday night. The Place Sanford's Hall. The Girl Well we dont like to dictate along that line, but we will sav that the "erirls of Lone lyville" will all be there in their best bib and tucker, and will make it pleasant-for everybody, and see that they get their mon ey's worth. Everything is ready for the presentation of the Social Club of Lonelyville except the time is just not quite arrived, but when the curtain goes up Fri day night there will be someth ing doing every minute. Local indications and reports received rom the country would lead one to believe that it will be neces - sary to hang out a sign "Stand ing room only", so if you want a seat it would be best to be on land a few minutes before the curtain goes up. Over and above the show, the re is going to be a big dance after he play-actors have done their part, and there is good reason to believe that there is going to be a surprise pulled off during the evening that hasn't been announ ced. Dont know that any engage ment sill be announced, but every minute will be filled with some thing equally startling' and inter esting. This is Leap Year, and a bunch of girls are giving the show, and you know you never can tell. '.'Oregon First" Oregon enjoys the distinction of possessing the most beautiful site possible to any state for its building on the grounds of the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. The flag of Oregon was raised by Governor West at the site choosing ceremonies held Thurs day afternoon, March 14. It was flown upon the 80 foot Ore gon pole contributed by Portland. The site was selected by Julius Meier of Portland, L. M. Travis of Eugene and F. N. Bodinson of Baker, Oregon's Commis sioners, and the deed to the same was presented to Govern or West. The day was a perfect one and the ceremonies witnessed by 800 Oregonians who had journey odjhere on the "Oregon First" Excursion for that special event, aroused the spec tators to a high pitch of patriotic enthusiasm. The Dallea Attorney Stands Re cord Made In State Legislature Body In another column of this paper there appears a new political announcement, that of N. J. Sinnott, of The Dalles, well known to many residents of this section, and a candidate for the office of representative in Congress. Mr. Sinnott is a lawyer ef considerable ability, and has been a representative in the State Senate for several years, during which time he has intro duced and secured the passage of many measures that have been a great benefit to the state ,at large, as well as this section of the state. Therefore we feel that whatever effort we make in behalf of Mr. Sinnott will be to the best interests of the people in this section, and giv Oregon an able representative in Con gress. The report of the legislative committee to the seventh annual convention of the Oregon State Federation of Labor says: A lawyer from The Dalles. The floor leader of the Senate; a man of great force. He in troduced the liability bill and worked hard for it Led the fight for the bill on the floor of the senate in one of the ablest addresses of the session;, favored the joint conference measure on the fish bill ; rendered us much valuable help; was awlays fight ing for the people's cause and none of them cared to mix it with Nick. He is due to advance in political honors. LIVESTOCK SHOW IS BEST IN HISTORY Splendid Exhibit of Cattle to be Seen at Portland Annual Meeting i With the weather fair, the pens at the yards filled as they never were before, the music of bands and the lusty accompani ment of grunts, squeals and all other imaginable sounds from the hundreds of bovinea, porcine and other throats, the second annual Pacific Northwest Lire stock show opened at tho Union Stockyards at North Portland Tuesday. Beyond question the display of fancy, fat and thorougbred lilvestock now to be seen at the local yards is the greatest over seen in the Northwest, and is probably the equal of anything of the kind ever put up west of the Mississippi River. In the language of one of the vofAmn stockmen at the yards, it is "the nrst adequate exhibit of tho best the West produces in the way of livestock." In the exhibits at th pens, Oregon, Wasington, Cali- lornia, iuano, Utah and Mon tana were well renreapntprl nri one of the officials of the show made a statement that the live stock shipping towns and sta tions of the Northwest-. nrw win resented at the show WAra . .wv uiuio than double that of last year. In all there were more than 60 carloads of fine bred stock on exhibit in at the opening, atotaV 2000 FEET OF NEW ROAD according tn n n t - vy. i-ll Y ci i, general manager of the show; fully three times the size of that display at last year's show. The pens were filled to cal pacity, and so great was tho de mand for exhibit space that the management of the yards was ..wiiiyoUuu w temporarily remove hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs that had been sent in for sale, in order to make room for the show stock. Cattle, sheep and hogs com prised the bulk of the display, and every breed of theaelinea produced in tho West was rep resented by the best from their respective districts. OregoniaV Ready for Traffic by Last 6f April ' O-W-R N. Officials 4 Const Court to Bear Expense of Coa stmctloa. Bta Beaefltte R!Irea4 asrf Madras With a crew of fifteen men, Roy Newell, road supervisor, is busy on the construction of the new grade from the city up to theO-W. R& N. depot and Agency Plains. He promises U have it finished by the i latter part of April, no bad luck inter vening. The new grade swings to the left of the present road soon after crossing the Willow Creek bridge, and continues nearly straight up the'hill, landing on top, and meeting the old road at the lane which leads to the depot. When , completed there will be about 2,C0 feet of new road, with a maximum grade of 5 per cent. When this new road is com pleted, it almost puts the O-W. R. & N railroad on an equal foot ing with the Oregon Trunk, in the matter of accessibility. It has been the fearful grade, and not the distance which has had a tendency to throw traffic and local freight to the Oregon Trunk road. The Harriman officials realized this condition, and have co-operated with the county offi cials in the establishment and construction of the new road. There was some delay in start mg operations, but as soon as the matter was properly laid be fore the railway officials, they very promptly agreed to bear their part of the expense in cident to the cost of construc tion. To The Would-Be Anglers Under a new ruling in refrard to the issuance of fishing lic enses, for the comino; year, the County Clerks have had affi davits printed, which a person desiring a fishing license, will have to fill out and acknow ledge before a notary public, and return them to the county clerk before tho license will be issued, unless each applicant should go to the county, clerk's office in person. This office is in receipt of some of the blank affidavits, and any who may desire to take ad vantage of the pleasure of angl ing for the finy tribe after April 1st, can make their ap plication here. 4 .
