William W. Cotton, commissioned by President Roosevelt for Federal District Judge in Oregon, has de- caned the appointment, and the several aspirants for the place, who sought the honor until it was awarded to Mr. Cotton, nearly two months ago, find the course open for a new race. Among the leading candidates for the position left vacant by Judge Bellinger are : R. S. Bean, Judge of the Oregon Supreme Court ; T. A. Mc- Bride, Judge of the State Circuit Court; Henry E. McGinn, ex-Judge of the State Circuit Court; Ralph W. Wilbur, a lawyer of Portland, and L. R. Webster, County Judge of Mult nomah. Others mentioned are C. E. Wolverton and F. A. Moore, J udges of the Oregon Supreme Court ; M. C. George and A. F. Sears, of the State Circuit Court; E. B. Watson, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court; John L. Rand, of Baker City, State Senator, and Stephen A. Lowell, ex-Circuit Judge. Bean, McBride, Webster, Wolverton, Moore and Rand have been recom mended by Senator Fulton. Extreme Low Water. The Willamette lacked but one inch Monday of being at dead low water. Dead low water means the mark that is as low as it has been since there has been a record. They have a gauge at Albany thit shows a mark several inches lower than at any other point, which is said to have been the notch touched in the summer of 18G1. The government engineers, however, do not recognize it, but are guided by the marking at Corvallis, Salem and other points, all of which agree. The indications now are that the river will get low enough this season to smash the record, and establish a new mark ing for low water. Corvallis Times. Contracts Let for Coast Road. Awards have been made by the Atlas Contract Company for the delivery of 2000 tons of steel rails at Hillsboro for the Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook railroad. The delivery is to be made by September.

WANT MOTOR SERVICE Salem Statesman Business Men Favor Plan to Build Railroad to Independence. A number of people in Salem are talking about the proposed exten sion of the Independence-Monmouth-Dallas-Airlie-Salem motor line. Some of the leading men of Salem declare that this line would do more good in increasing business here and in build ing up the city than any other that has been proposed. And it would take only about eight miles of trackage to connoct the present system with Salem. The leading business men of Salem are in favor of it. There is not an exception. All the people of the Capital City will help in every way possible, if the proposition for the ex tension can be gotten before them in tangible shape. There will not be a single knocker. The time is ripe, There should be no delay in getting to work in the premises. There probably will not be. As a prominent business man of Salem said recently, the construction of only eight miles of track would put the whole west side country in connection with Salem There would be trips at frequent inter vals to Independence, Monmouth. Dallas and Airlie, and the motor line cars would connect with the Southern Pacific passenger trains for McMinn- ville, Corvallis and all the rest of the towns on the west side of the Wil lamette. The proposed extension, as part of the present Polk county motor line system, would pay. It would pay big Interest on the cost of constructing the additional eight miles of track. MANY BLOODED ANIMALS Finest Herds in the World Will Shown at Lewis and Clark Stock Show. Be HOP MEN WILL GATHER Growers of Two Counties Will Hold Meeting in Independence, Monday, August 7. Hop men in the Dallas district are planning to attend the Grower's Meet ing in Independence, next Monday afternoon, in a body. Many matters of interest are to be discussed, and the meeting will be open to every grower, large or small. Hop farmers through out the valley are taking a lively interest in the proposed meeting, and it is highly probable that large dele gations will be in attendance from Marion, Yamhill, Benton, and other counties. The Independence West Side of Tuesday says : "The proposed meeting is a matter of importance to growers. The im portance lies in the fact that the last legislature enacted a law fixing the weight of a box of hops, and the urgent necessity of picking clean hops. Complaint has been made against unclean picking of Oregon hops, and it is highly desirable that concerted action be taken along this hue to insure a cleaner grade this year. Whether or not picking shall be by weight or box is another matter that growers should decide. Other matters of interest to growers generally can be discussed at this meeting, and it is hoped no grower will neglect to attend."

Strert, New York. joe ax i tr, 1 4rapM Polk county stock raisers are taking much interest in the stock show to be held in connection with the Lewis and Clark Fair from September 19 to 29 inclusive. Blooded animals from all parts or tne world will be brought to Portland for exhibit, and the exposi tton managers do not hesitate to declare that this will be the greatest livestock show ever held in America. Polk county is one of the leading stock counties in Oregon, and will furnish its share of fine animals to the exhibit. In the pens, which will be on the peninsula back of the Government buildings, will be more than 700 stalls for cattle, as many more for blooded horses, and allotments for sheep, goats and swine. An idea of the extent of the exhibit may be had when it is stated that a shipment of blooded Percheron horsec left Havre, France, 20 days ago, and arrived Saturday at their destination. A. C. Ruby of Pendleton, Oregon, one or tne best known fine stock breeders in the United States, arrived in Portland Monday and entered his display of Percherons with the chief of the department, M. D. Wisdom. All over France Mr. Ruby traveled, and secured a number of splendid Percheron and Belgian horses. These animals have won prizes at livestock shows in Europe. The cost of bring ing a carload of horses from New York to Portland is $700. Some of the most famous herds in the world will be brought to the ex position. One of the firm of Mc Laughlin Brothers of Kansas City, the world renowned breeders and owners of fine horses, has Informed the chief of the livestock department at the fair that in his own opiniou he will bring to the exposition the finest band of Percherons, Belgians and other blooded horses ever exhibited on the North American continent. J. Crouch, another famous breeder of fine horses, located at Lafayette, Indiana, will bring his blooded Percherons and German coach horses. Not only in horses will this show ex cel, but in fine cattle. One of the finest herds of Holstein cattle in the world, owned by Pierce Brothers of Stockton, California, will be brought to the exposition. This herd includes Holstein bull expressly imported from Holland, for exhibition here R. M. Hotaling of San Anselmo, California, will exhibit his noted herd of Holsteins, as will John B. Irwin, of Minneapolis, another well known breeder of fine cattle. W. E. Skinner, secretary and manager of the Inter national Livestock show of Chicago, will come to the exposition In person, and with him will come a trainload of the finest cattle, horses, sheep and swine. Of swine there will be on exhi bit the best of Berkshires, Yorkshires, Poland-Chinas and Duroc-Jerseys, and of sheep and goats there will also be the best of their kind.
