The hulk of the deleaatea will be rhnipti In February and March. In majority of tha etatea the Republicans tart the work of reorsnlia t Ion early In January, beginning with the precinct committeemen, ana graauajiy worauia tin to the election o a atate committee. and In tha natural course of events the district conventions for the election of dolecates are reached about the mlilJU of February, and the state conventions for tha election of delegates at large a little later. It will be for the conven tion to eay precisely how many dele- ritui ahall alt In the convention. Ucn atate will have twice aa many delegates aa It haa senators and representatives In congress. This means tnat eacn con areaaional district will elect two dele gates, ahd a state convention will elect four delea-atea at larae. The convention can ear what the representation of the terrltorlee and noncontiguous territories shall be. In. the laat convention the terrltorlea of Arlxona and New Mexico and Alaska were permitted to have six deleaatea each, and the noncontiguous terr torlea of Porto Rico and Hawaii two deleratea each.

"While dairy products have been hla-h, It is the farmer who Is reaping the bene fits," says J. W. Bailey, state food and dairy commissioner. Butter fat this year will average 32 cents a pound, net ting the farmer an average of 65 cents a roll for his butter on the ranch. This Is a better price than was ever before obtained by Oregon dairymen for their product." These estimates are made by Mr. Bai ley In anticipation of tho new v' nd are considered authoritative, as tho in tervening period Is one during which tho frice of butter is more likely to rise han fall. Mr. Bailey concludes from these figures that the position of the Oregon dairymen is a more enviable one than either the grain grower or the fruit grower, and much better than the hop grower. ''Furthermore, the dairy product Is harvested and sold $85 days In every year, and 366 some years, while the fruit grower has an Inning but once a year," continues tho dairy commissioner.

Deuble cement Manges at all Joints, etc. We have a base in one piece upon which the furnace can be placed so as to take the air through an underground pit without building a pillar under tbe middle of the furnace to obstruct - the entrance of air. For the top and bottom of the furnace we have heavy cast iron plates with a double cup Joint all around the outer edges to avoid all possibility of having any leakage of gas. Tho body of the furnace is mounted with an ex- 1 tremely heavy boiler plate whloh Is in . one piece, thereby freeing the furnace from the many objectionable Joints com-" monly found in furnaces. We use the Smyth triangular grate, bar and line all parts of the Ore box that come in contact With the fuel with lire brick. , We also have a flat grate with draw center, which ia especially adapted for slack and soft coal. Directly back and at tbe sides of the main radiator we have a kidney-shaped radiator with cast Iron ton and bottom. into which the products of combustion pass from the main radiator, and by means of division nlatea are conducted throughout the surface of thia radiator to the smoke pipe.
