Last Meeting Of Boys' Club The last meeting of the Boys' Club took place at the Elks building Fri day night. George B. Icenhower was the speaker of the evening. He ar rived in the city from South America about a month ago. He has been en gaged in civil engineering work on the new railway in Bolivia and Brazil, the railway to Potosi. The talk he gave the boys was one of the most interesting of the series. . The rail road he has been working on has the distinction of being the highest in the world, being 15,800 feet above sea level. He explained about the country, customs and people he had met in his travels. The people there are Spanish speaking and use almost altogether the metric system. Many word-colored pictures of the trip uown ann oacK were presented, ms j return trip being by way of the Phil ippine Ishalnd and Hawaii. Mr. Icenhower told many of the interesting things he saw while in South America. He has Indian relics ho found in some old graves that were in the line of the railroad. Some of these are stone knives, and there are also knives of sharpened fish j bones. These relics are perhaps many 1 centuries old, as the stone imple-j nients show. These were found, he says, on a barren destrt, but perti fied forests indicate a former timber land. It was indeed interesting to listen to the talk he gave to the boys, and it was very satisfying to those who have the wanderlust. Professor Vining gave a talk that was exceedingly beneficial and Inter esting, and he summed up the points the boys should have drawn from the lectures. The coming high jinks at Rogue River was further explained, and the prospects for a great time there are indeed bright. This high jinks will take place a week from Wednesday. The meeting was one of the best of the year and was well attended. 4 4 II 1 1 i H "M A ili MIHIMIIII By Request on Account of Moose Gathering Photo-Play AT The Vining Theatre j Charles Frohman Presents Mrs. Minnie Maddern F isle In "Tess of the D' Urbervilles" Also Tuesday Nio'ht i MMMI ll Small Vote Cast In Primaiy Election The primary election In Jackson county was marked by utter lack of interest. Little work was done ex cept by the interested friends of the candidates the last few days before the election and no intense feeling was worked up. In Ashland the primaries pass off without the least interest, not more than one-half the voters going to the polls. The extremely light vote indi cates the feeling of indifference of the average voter as to the result. As the socialists and prohibition ists had no candidates for nomina tion, the entire fight was for the set tlement of the republican and demo cratic candidates. The surprise in Ashland was the strong vote polled by F. H. Madden for county court over Joe Smith, the present encumbent. Mr. Madden se cured almost three votes to Smith's one. Singler made a like race against Walker for sheriff. It was generally believed this race would be very close, but the candidacy of Earhart appears to have weakened Walker's vote. Colvig defeated Cronemiller in the county, but the latter carried Ash land by' eight votes. Ussher won the nomination for cor oner over Kellogg by something like 75 votes. The exact number will not be known until the official count. Mealey and Wagner secured the republican nomination for state rep resentative. The county vote given out Saturday was as follows: Madden defeated Smith for the re publican nomination for county com missioner by nearly 300 votes. On the democratic ticket, Hittson defeated Summerville by a small vote. Canon carried the county for demo cratic national committeeman by a two to one vote. Complete returns from 38 precincts out of 47 give the following totals, the precincts missing being small and not likely to change the result: For congressman Hawley 1,433, Jones 736. For representative Mealey ,1,094, Stone 880, Wagner 1.318. For county commissioner Madden 1,236, Smith 9S7. For sheriff Earhart 373, Singler 1,256, Walker 694. For treasurer Colvig 1,161, Crone miller 987. For coroner Kellogg 993, Ussher 1,050. On the democratic ticket the vote for national committeeman stands: Canon 751, Easterly 453. For congressman Hollister 545, Meredith 420. For sheriff Hittson 562, Summer ville 532. Canon Defeated . v for Committeeman Returns from 27 of the 33 counties of the state, including Multnomah, place Withycombe and Smith in the lead for the republican and demo cratic nominations for governor. Outstanding counties and precincts yet to be heard from are not likely to change the result. George Brown has apparently been nominated for attorney-general over Frank Grant by a wide margin. The four republican nominees for supreme judge are McBride, Harris, McNary and Benson. Bean is run ning fifth. .McArthur has won the republican nomination for congress from Laffer ty, incumbent, in the Third district. Hawley has been nominated by two to one in th First district, and Sinnott had no opposition for the nomination in the Second district. - B'or supreme judge, Cleeton, who ran well in Multnomah, fell down on the outside, whereas McNary picked up enough in Multnomah to make him safe, apparently, and the same situation applies to Harris. Prown received 8,100 votes outside of Multnomah, and Grant 3,423. In Multnomah Brown received 5,116 and Grant 8,464. Ackerson, for republican national committeeman, carried Baker, Clack amas, Columbia, Crook, Grant, Jack son, Josephine and Wallowa. Williams, who has been nominated, carried Benton, Clatsop, Douglas, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Morrow, Sherman. Tillamook, Union and Wasco. Esterly, for democratic national committeeman, carried all counties, with the exception of Jackson, the home of bis opponent, Canon, aJn Sherman. This was one of the bit terest contests in the democratic ranks, and a large amount of money was spent for advertising. Esterly ran as a Wilson man, and while Canon raised a large campaign fund for Wilson, the slogan of Ester ly was effective. Esterly was backed by the federal political machine of the state and by practically every democratic postmaster and the appli cants for postmaster. Williams received 8.4 76 in the out side counties and Ackerson 8,230. Williams' lead in Multnomah was tre mendous. Esterly received 3,573 and Canon 2,311, in addition to their vote In Multnomah.

GET OUR PRICES 1. 0. DICKERSON Belleview Made Fine Showing at Talent The pupils of the Belleview school are stepping high these days. Bright and early on May 14 their track team, the pupils of the school and a goodly number of the people from the dis trict drove to Talent to a field meet between the schools of the second and third class of Jackson county. The team of eight did not show up much among the twenty-five or thirty from Gold Hill, or with the teams from Phoenix, Central Point and Tal ent. The big purple B's did show up, and often in the front rank, when the meet started. The boys went into every event with plenty or ginger and before night no one dared predict the I outcome of an event until Belleview I had had her last chance, j Merritt Randies,, a boy of but little I past 13, made a remarkable record. He made eight feet four inches in the pole vault, and four feet eight Inches In the high Jump. He has a record 1n practice of seventeen feet ten Inches in the broad jump. Jimie Howard, who is but 10 years old, made thir teen feet nine inches in the broad Jump, while he with Walter Mlksch and Marens Kilts took first, second and third for Belleview in their class, each making three feet ten and one half inches in the high Jump. The other members of the team who helped very materially were Earl Brown, Gates King, Harry Moore, George West, Sac Brant and Walter Miller. Gold Hill took the cup with a score of 129 points, Belleview won 65 points, and the other schools came in with around 30 points or less. Talent surely deserves great credit for so successfully carrying out the meet, which Is the first, for schools of the second, and third classes, to be given In the county. The schools all owe Principal Ager a vote of thanks for the very fair treatment the vis itors received, for the good time all enjoyed for the very fine trophy fur nished, and, above all, for being the pioneer In Instituting "Jackson Coun ty'Pay" for schools of the second and third classes. ..- ; POLAR RESEARCH. Arctio and Antarctic Problem That Still Remain Unsolved. The era of pole hunting Is now hap pily over, and the best result of Pea ry's and Amundsen's athletic feats In the north and south is that the really Important problems of the circumpolar regions can henceforth be attacked with a single mind. From a scientitic staudpolnt enough work remains to be done in these regions to lust for sev eral generations. The antarctic has only been scratch ed, so to seak. Owing to the diverse scales used In school geographies the average man goes through life with badly warped Ideas concerning the rel ative sizes of various parts of the earth's surface, and so probably few people realize that tbe antarctic conti nent la very much larger than Europe In fact, about as large as Europe and Australia combined. Of this huge con' tinent we do not know even tbe shape and location of tbe coast line, except for one long stretch south of Australia and a few widely scattered points else where, while tbe whole Interior, apart from a narrow wedge between Ross sea and tbe pole, Is virtually blank on our maps. In tbe arctic a patch of a million square miles is still absolutely un touched. So much for mere surface geography; but of course, modern po lar research includes a wide range of nongeograpbical problems pertaining to such diverse subjects as geology, glaclology, meteorology. terrestrial mag netism, seismology, oceanography, sool ogy. botany, physiology, ethnology and archaeology. Review of Reviews. Sure to Return. One morning . a merchant whose goods did not very strongly substantl ate bis advertising claims put out a new sign. He was pleased to see that n great many people stopped to read It, but directly be was puzzled and an gered to notice that tbey all went on, laughing. There was nothing funny about tbe sign. It merely read: If You Buy Here Once Vou Will Com Again. Tbe merchant went outside in a cas onl sort of way aud glanced at his sign to see what was the matter. Some one, no doubt a former customer, bad added another line. It now read: It You Buy Her Once You Will Com Again To Bring- It Back. Youth's Companion, Thir Trad.
