S. Fisher, a capitalist and farmer of

pleting arrangements whereby several
hundreds thousand" dollars of Portland
capital ; will; probably be invested In a
large pulp mill to be built near Van.
couver. , At present, there la no pulp
mill of any aiae In British Columbia,
according to Mr. Fisher, who Is at the
Hotel Portland. The proposed reciproc
ity agreement between the United
States and . Canada however. If it is
approved by congress, would permit Im
portation of wood pulp free Into the
United States from canaaa and great
ly enlarge the territory that such a mill
could serve. ' . s- - .
For 10 years Mr. Fisher was a farmer
on a very large scale in northern Wis
consin, ? He Is how farming 6000 acres
in British Columbia, having - one big
ranchrneaf Vancouver and another near
Kamloops. r On the Vancouver ranch
he uses Chinese labor for , practically
all the cultivation t and on the '.Kara
loops ranch, Indians. , There are sev.
eral large Indian reservations In , the
neighborhood ' of Kamloops and Mr.
Fisher, says they rurnisn reasonably
good-and. cheep labor, j .-r'.; r
"To my , i mind - British Columbia - af
fords one of the . best farming oppor
tunities in the world," said Mr. Fisher.
"For Instance I raise a great deal of
hay and 1 am getting $15 a ton for it
today. Last f all : I received . $ 42 . a: ton
for potatoes oni board cars on the
ranch. I think Oregon has good farm
ing possibilities also,-- however but
farmers should not make -the. mistake
of depending upon -one crop for all
their income. I should think ' mat a
combination of dairying with wheat or
some other crop-would make a good
arrangement but a man 'makes a mis
take in my mind, by depending entire
ly upon dairying, for example, or en

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
ON BALLOT BY PETITION
Primaries Will Fall in April;
"Rump", Conventions a ; '
' - Possibility. .
One year from this time, or earlier.
Oregon: will be the center of political
attention In all parts of the United
States, for . the early campaign of 1912
In Oregon , will Include, for the first
time in the history of the United States,
the expression of popular choice by the
voters of a state for candidates . for
president and vice president, ""i
Add to this the struggle over United
States senator, with '- Jonathan Bourne
as the central figure, the choice of can.
dldates for congress, in three districts.
Judge of the supreme court, two railroad
commissioners, 1 state dairy 'and food
commissioner, and in Multnomah coun
ty two Judge o(ftthe' circuit court and;
numerous county officers, and the 'Vot
ers will have plenty of excitement.
Candidates for all -the offices named
must "be nominated in April next year
a fact with which many of the polltj
clans are..not yet familiar. JLast year
the primaries' were in . September and
they will fall in September again in
1914, but in 1912 and every presidential
year thereafter, the battle will be called
In April. .The reason for this Is that
delegates io national convention - must
be chosen -in' the spring, and to avoid
holding i two -primaries the same year,
all officers are to be nominated-at the
same time. , -(,-" -.i' s .&. '.
- This means a long interval between
the date of nomination and the election,
for the time of the November- election
Is, unchanged. Between April and .No
vember the candidates will have ample
time to visit all part of the state, and
the people will have ample time to think
them over. ,
. , :. Voting for a President,
Names of candidates - for president
and vice president will be placed on the
ballot by petition of their political sup
porters in Oregon, without any formali
ties or announcement of candidacy on
their part; A man not - a candidato

velt, for Instance, whatever he mar say
about It, might be given the flolega-
uon rrom Oregon , by the votes, of the
progressives of the state, with or with
out hi consent. :' ,J -
One feature of the situation Is the
possibility that the national Republican
committee,' when It lays down the rules
for election of delegates, wilt leave no
opening for delegates chosen by the peo
ple. The committees- usually provide -for
conventions for the ehoice of dele
gates, . state conventions- being called
for election of four delegates, at large
and district conventions for the selec
tion of two - from each congressional
district, - - v. .
Some of the Possibilities.
What will happen if onr wing;-of the"
Oregon Republicans calmly disregards
the state law for election by the people
and holds rump conventions conform
ing to the call of the national com
mitteef The rival delegations would
eaChclaim seats, and the result would .
depend on what the convention desire J
to do. What it' desired to do would
probably , depend on the game of poll
tics played by the supporters of rival
candidates for president '
If the delegates chosen by the people
In Oregon, for Instance, are pledged to
Rooserltor La Follette. and the pro- '
gresslves control . the - national conven
tion' they -.would stand tha better
chance for seats.: If the' delegates
