The. expected rush of voters during the last few days of the regis tration periqd has not materialized. and it now seems probable that the to tal number to register this year will not exceed 2000. County Clerk Smith has held his office in readiness to ac commodate any possible rush of voters that might occur In the closing days. but asyet there Is no Indication that an extra forceof deputies will be need ed.

AID FOR DALLAS COLLEGE General Conference Will lie Asked to Increase Endowment. Dr. C. C. Poling, presiding elder of the United Evangelical Church, and the Reverend A. A. Winter, president of Dallas College,. wllj leave Thursday for Canton, Ohio, where they will 'at tend the General Conference of 'the church as delegates from theOregon Conference. -- Dr. Poling says the coming session of the General Conference promises to be one of the most Important ever held by the church. In addition to the elec tion of Bishops, all of whose terms of office will expire this year, the pro posed consolidation of the United Evangelical Church and the Evangeli cal Association will be Anally discussed and will be brought to a vote. The affairs of Dallas College will also be considered by the General Con ference at this session and it is- ex pected that the Oregon school will be given valuable assistance in a financial way. Money aid for Dallas College from the conference was conditioned upon the school raising $25,000 of the endowment fund on the Pacific Coast; As Ails amount has been raised by the college officials, the conference will now be asked to come forward with the promised support. Both Dr. Poling and President Win ter will visit relatives In - Pensylva nia aftw the adjournment of confer ence, and they expect to return to Dal las late in October. NO HOPE OF GOVERNOR ANTI-ASSEMBLY FORCES READY , - TO CONCEDE DEFEAT. Neither Hofer Nor Dlnili k Are Longer . Considered Factors In Primary : Race. . - ' : . PARALYTIC STROKE FATAL August Blttner Dies at Dallas Hospital After Short Illness. -August Bittner, an aged German resident of North Dallas, died at the Dallas Hospital, Friday morning,: Sep tember 2, from the effects of paralysis. County Judge Coad called at the old mans home a few days before his death and found him in a critical con dition and without money. . Orders were at once given to have him re moved to the hospital for better care and attention. The effort to. save his life was of no avail; . . . Mr. Bittner was born in Germany n 1836. He had been a resident of the United States for rpany years, coming to Dallas twelve1 years ago. He is survived by his aged wife. : The funeral service" was conducted by the Rev. Leon Myers,' Saturday morning, and the body Was given burial in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. Hbes' of the anti-assembly Repub licans of electing a Governor are in a dismal state. The fact is admitted even by' anti-assembly leaders. The raging question In the anti-fold has become "What are we going to do about it?" , That Acting Governor Bowerman now has the Republican nomination it his vest pocket is conceded in the (intl camp. For the .activity, of anti-assent bly candidates -, for Governor, by a strange pai'adox, are. admittedly strengthening Mr. Bowerman 's chances. Colonel E. Hofer is touring tfte state by auto picking up votes, while Judge Dlmlck and Albert Abraham are doing the same thing. Neither is developing strength enough, however, to be con sidered a factor in the primary race, and, since the regular Republicans will stand together almost to a man, the vote of the three anti-assembly can didates serves merely to split up the work of their faction and establish Mr. Bowerman's chances on the firm rock of certainty. " Bourne Men Perplexed. Hence, the question "What are we going to do about it?" Is pToving un usually perplexing, particularly to the followers of Jonathan Bourne. Bourne needs one of his own clan in the Gov ernor's chair In order to garner strength therefrom two years hence, when he must fight for his own of ficial neck. Some slender hopes are yet based on Dlmick. To be prepared for the .'fu ture -the' Bourne element Is casting about in many directions. Should Oswald West gain the Dem ocratic nomination, the sledding would be smooth. But there isn't any cer PERSONAL MENTION Miss Helen Wright was a week-end visitor in Portland. Frank T.

" " Christian Minister. Improvement at Prune Dryer. The boiler at the Butz prune evapor ator Is now equipped with a Morehead tilting trap, whieh arrived from De troit, Michigan, Saturday. The install ation of this attachment will greatly facilitate the fruit evaporating process. The trap keeps the steam coils free of water, which It gathers and automat ically empties back into the boilers. It is an interesting piece of machinery and must be seen In operation to be fully appreciated. talnty that West will'get the Demo cratic nomination. In fact, followers Jefferson Myers are now declaring that a canvass of the state gives their man a clear lead. Mr. Myers is very busy touring the state in his own behalf. So, with Mr Myers as the Demo cratlc nominee and Mr. powerman as the Republican choice,, the Bourne ele ment, which dominates to a large de gree the anti-assembly faction, would be In a dilemma Indeed. The only re course will be an independent Repub llcan candidate. ; , , , Ben Selling In Mind. Ben Selling Is held in mind by 'many of the anti-followers. They tried hard to get him Into the fight before the primaries, but he wanted a clear field and all efforts to give' him a clear field met with failure. "What's the matter , with W. S. U'Ren?" several of the clan are ask ing. "The people have been taking his measures, why wouldn't they take him?" The U'Ren suggestion hasn't yet aroused unstinted enthusiasm. Yet it is possible, if conditions shape them selves against . the anti-assemblyites at the primaries, that U'Ren will b. call ed Into the race as an Independent. It Is admitted by anti-assembly men that the nomination of Mr. Bowerman, on the one hand, and of Mr. Myers or. the other, will throw them 'nto a sad dilemma.

ARTHUR STARR Proprietor OREGON WITH A WHIZZ AND A ROAR Hugo Metmrlte Shoots Through At mosphere In Itroad Light of Sun, The big meteorite that passed over the Northwest Sunday, and is suppos ed to have plunged Into the Pacific Ocean far out beyond Astoria, was seen by a number of persons In this locality. Several young men sitting In the Observer office saw the strange traveler as It passed over the Court house tower and called It a meteor, only to be corrected by the editor, who sagely pronounced It a piece of Japan ese fireworks, thereby airing his Ig norance of astronomy. Despite the fact that the meteorite made its appearance at a time when its brilliancy must have been greatly dimmed by the light of the sun, the great mass of incandescent matter was plainly visible, its light being Intense and white. It passed In a northwester ly direction a brilliant core of light followed by a trail of fire and sparks. A few seconds after Its disappearance. a lull, roaring sound was noted. This is supposed by some to have been caused by the disturbance which the huge meteorite caused as It tore Its may throueh our earthly atmosphere. The earth. In Its orbit is already nearlng the belt of the "November meteors, at which time the appear ance of these bodies la very frequent developing at certain periods Into ver itable "showers of stars." M la prob able that the meteor sighted Sunday is a stray from this belt differing from the ordinary shooting star only In the fart that Its magnitude was prolah!y several thousand times great er than that of the average meteor one Oregon State Fair SALEa OREGON Sept. 12 to 17 For the above occasion the follow ing Round Trip Rates are authorised to West Salem Oregon, from Stations named: Excursion Rates to Portland ACCOUNT Portland Fair and LiveStoch Exposition VIA SOUTHERN PACIFIC (LINES IN ORXCON) For the above occasion, a round trip rate of One and One-Third Fare from all points on its lines including branches, will be made.
