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.

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.

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

made a statement that the live

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

and every breed of theaelinea
produced in tho West was rep

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.
