FIRST CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR IS ANNOUNCED
Grant B. Dlmlck, for the last three
years county judge of Clackamas
ctunty, and for five years mayor of
Oregon City, ha? announced his can
didacy for the Republican nomination
for Governor of Ore;on, after being
.irged by many people from all
yarts of the state to make the run.
His friends teil that should he be
the nominee of the party of his
adoption, no issus could ever be
made about his being of foreign
birth, or about hl3 true Americanism,
since he was born on a farm on Pud
ding River, In Marlon county, Ore
;on, the son of one of the most
prominent G. A. R. men who ever
drew sword in his country's behalf.
He was admitted to the bar of Ore
gon In 1895, and located the follow
ing year in Oregoi City, where ha
,ias established himself firmly in the
hearts of the people of that city and
county. He has successfully filled
the office of deputy district attorney
1 years; mayor of Oregon City five
successive terms, and has served as
:ounty judge two years. In 1904
he was a presidential elector on the
Republican ticket, speaking In many
sections of the state, and received
over 40,000 plurality.
The Oregon City Enterprise, in the
issue announcing the candidacy of
Judge Dlmick, has a long editorial.
speaking in eulogistic terms or
him, and pledging 5000 voles solid
from "Old Clackamas." It Is very
early for candidates for governor,
since the primary election deciding
this contest will not take place until
in Sepember, 1910, but evidently ths
Clackamas man feels that If "the
early bird catches the worm" the
prize in this case should be his.
Smoke the Advertiser and be
lappy.

Meet in Lo Angelw to Discuss the
Grazing Industry.
Lo3 Angeles, Cal.. Jan. 26 Ques
tions of great importance to cattle
men throughout the country, espe
cially In the west, will be discussed
at the 12th annual convention of the
American National Live Stock Asso
ciation, beginning here today and
lasting three days. Hundreds of del
egates, among whom are owners of
some of the biggest of western
ranches, throng the streets of the
fclty.
Among the Important questions
which will come before the conven
tion will be the proposed revision of
the tarlfT In Its relation to meat,
hides, wool and other proauciB oi iue
live' stock Industry.
It Is expected that the association
will adopt resolutions favoring the
enactment of laws for adequate rail
road service, the furnishing of plenty
of freight cars and other problems of
transportation.
TO STOP HORSE RAGING
Pool Sellers Are Struck by Conster
nation Farms Will Suffer.
San Francisco, Jan. 25. That rac
ing in the state of California is
doomed and that the present season
lit the famous Emeryville and Santa
.Anita courses will mark the passing
of the "sport of the kings," Is the
opinion of the majority of race fol
lowers at Sacramento.
The passage of the Walker-Otis
nntl-racetrack bill by an overwhelm
Ing majority in the lower house has
t pread consternation In the rankB of
the opponents of the proposed law.
The bill as passed by the house Is
r.imllar to the Humphreys anti-race
track bill which has suppressed pool
selling In New York. The poolsell
;rs In California will be ullowed 60
days in which to wind up their af
fairs from the time the document Is
signed by the governor..
The effect of the closing of the
racetracks in California will be wide
ly felt. The county fairs, at which
trotting meets are annually held In
various parts of the state during the
summer months, will be forced to
abandon these events. The great
breeding farms which have made this
state famous the world over, will re
ceive a death blow.
In the event of the closing of the
racing establishments In this state,
it is fairly certain that racing will
be shifted to Nevada or Lower Call
lornia. VOTE AID FOR MITCHELL
