With a w inter campaign and a long
war in sight, a different class of or
ders from Europe is pouring in for
the relief of American manufactur
ers. The British. French and Russi
ans want huge quantities rf blankets
for the men In the tranches and for
horses. France and Great Britain are
asking fur bids for shoes for their j
armies. There is a sudden demand
for sheepskins for overcoats. Our
mills are called on hurriedly to sup-
j ply underw ear. Harness, leather and
saddle-trees are needed at once. A
i thousand automobile trucks, said to
i be for the Russians' use, must be
produced w ithout delay. Half a mil
lion reels of barbed wire, measurins
approximately 123,000 miles, are to be
! delivered within the next few months.

Careful polls taken in Portland
within the la-t week show that Dr.
j Smith Is the fa-
I Itr. Smith lauding, vorite ior gov
I ernor excepting
in the vice districts. The people who
represent the homes of Portland want
him as governor. This despite the
fact he is the democratic nominee ana
Portland Is a republican dry. They
Ikr.ow that partUanship is not the
paramount issue in state politic-
They like Ur. ,mith because they have
confidence in his ability and In his
attitude on public questions that are
of vital concern In this campaign
Dr. Smith is a man of strong views
and he makes his views known in
straight from the shoulder style. He
is not "muzzled" as Is his chief op
ponent. The race for the governorship will
be close as it usually Is In this state
but the odds are In favor of Dr.
i-'rnith. Hence the larger the ma
jority that Is rolled up for him in
this county the surer will be his
rnnnc fir election. Old Umatilla
came to the front In loyal style at
the primary and aided materially In
nominating the man from this coun
ty. If the multitude of people In
1'matilla county who claim Dr. Smith
as a personal friend will work for
him with the name zeal and energy
that was displayed in May they will
exert an Influence that may prove
derisive Nov. S. Now Is the time for
every man and woman who has con
fidence In the ability and Integrity
of Pr. Smith to rome to his support
and to show by deeds that count that
his long valued service to the people
BY THE SCISSORS
The Suloonmun's business that do
Blunder. so much to bring
it into embarass
ment and reproach. The traffic is
now on trial for lis life In this state.
It is the moment when the men in
the business should be guided by wise
counsel and sane endeavor.
But there is an apparently organ
ized movement among the saloons to
interfere in personal politics and at
tempt control of the offices. Insteat
cf confining themselves strictly to '
their fight against prohibition, mos; j
of the saloons of the state are lin"! j
up solidly behind Dr. Withycombe in
an attempt to dictate government
from the Oregon state house. j
The charge of the saluonists is that
they fear Dr. Smith's plan of law en
forcement Here again is an lrre
rievable blunder. There are saloons
that obey the law, and If all were like
iiem, the present strong attempt to
abolish saloons altogether would not
be nearly so effective.
It is the lawless element in the bus
iness that makes the strongest and
best arguments for use by the drys.
It Is the lawless men in the business
that make all the trouble for the men
who conduct a lawful business, and
no greater blunder was ever made by
the dealers than is tfie present united
and determined effort to beat Dr.
Smith because of hli plan of strict
enforcement of law.
If the war could only be settled
with the same speed the world's base
ball championship was decided there
would be cause for rejoicing.
Evidently Mr. Booth has never
been disposed to share his great pros
perity with the loggers and sawmill
men who made him rich.
Throughout the whole state the
anti-law enforcement crowd is lined
up for Withycombe. The law enforce
ment people should know what to do.
MILITARY TERMS.
For the benefit of those who are
at a loss to understand the numerical
values of military terms, aays a con
temporary, it may be pointed out that
in most armies the figures are as
follows: Infantry A squad, S men,
under command of a corporal; sec
tion, IS, under command of a ser
geant; platoon, 50 to 75, under a lieu
tenant; company, three platoons, 200
to 250, under a captain; battalion,
four or more companies, unJer a ma
jor; regiment, three or more battal
ions, under a colonel or lieutenant
ccljnel; brigade, two or three regi
ments, under a bristadier-general; ii
visioi:, two or more brigades, un-.ler
a major-general; army corps, two or
more In'padea, supplemented by cav
airy, artillery, engineers, etc.. under
a rrajor-general or lieutenant-general.
Cavalry Section, 8, under a cor
poral; j.:etoon, 26 to 50, under a Jiea
tenant or Junior-captain; troop, three
to four platoons. 125 to 150 men, u:i
der o eenlor-captaln or a major;
legnnt-nl, four to six squadrons un
Ctt i itlonel; brigade, three teji
meMs, vnder a brigadier-generil; di
vision two or three brigades, under
a maici general; division, two or
three tiirades, under a major-general.
These figures may help when the
dpaurcs refer only to trmv nanus
and not numbers of men, ? is so o?t
en the case.
HANDING THE JIOSS ONE.
In a certain machine shop In Chi
cago an apprentice was one day
swinging his hammer somewhat lan
guidly when along came the boss. An
angry expression o'erspread his coun
tenance as he observed the perform
ance of the lad. He took the hammer
from the boy and delivered himself
of the following:
"When I see a man that takes his
hammer by the end of the handle,
like this, and strikes fine, hard blows
like that I pay that man any
where from $1$ a week up. But.
when fl man takes his hammer bv the
middle. like this, and strikes gentle J
taps like this like tnw like tnw.
he gets only 19 a week; and he's the
first to be laid off when work's slack.'
Then, the boss returned the ham
mer to the apprentice, thinking he
had taught him a good lesson; butj
the shrewd lad came back with: j

eye for beauty and a love for it. but
he married Mandy because he knew
the would make him a good wife.
"I suprose dat Mandy is a queen."

marriage, and had never seen the
bride. "I know you.-e got good taste,

THE VITAL QUESTION'.
A Chicago business man with many
relatives, some of whom were well-
to-do gut grasping, reeently sought j
the services of his lawyer to draw up
his will. When after much" labor.
the document was completed, his cli
ent asked:
"Have you fixej this thing, as 1
wished It, tight and strong?"
"I have done my best," said the
lawyer.
"Well," continued the client. "I,
want to ask you another thing not
professionally, however. As a friend,
and man to man, who do you think
stands the beat chance of getting the
property when I am gone?" Harper's
