The Common Housefly
is now the justly deserving object of a national campaign
in the interest of the public Health. Flies carry filth
and disease germs wherever they go. We are sincerely
glad that we are able to co-operate effectively in the
fight against the housefly. Flies and Electric Fans do
not agree. Flies cannot alight in a breeze and it is a
simple thing to keep your kitchen, your living room and
the sleeping room of your child free from the contamin
ation of these insects- One electric fan in a small house
hold can usually be made to serve all three purposes,
besides freshening and cooling the air. The new 8-inch
household fan is both practical and inexpensive. Phone

By the- decisive vote of 153 to 109,
the people of Dallas yesterday defeated
the council's proposed charter amend
ment to give the city exclusive control
of nil Improvements hereafter to be
made on the rnill race and to assess
cost of such improvements wholly
against the owners of the ditch.''
The issue, which at first attracted
little attention or comment, developed
Into a burning question in the last few
days of the campaign and Btate and
county politics went into temporary
eclipse. The contest was good nat
ured, however, and no sore spots were
left.
It seemed to be the general opinion
that the race company should not be
forced to bear the entire burden of
maintaining the race and let property.
owners escape all cost in building and
maintaining sidewalks over the ditch
in tront of their respective lots or
tracts of land.
Notwithstanding the volume of ar
gument produced and the keen inter
est taken by the partisans on each side
of the question, a light vote was cast
Had anything like a full vote been poll
ed, It is certain that the majority
against the amendment would have
been heavier than It was. Many labor
ing men expressed their confidence
that the amendment would be defeated
and refused to leave their work, de
clarlng that their votes would not be
needed.

Sliei ldan Lumber Company's Camp nt
Cedar Creek Is Destroyed.
The Sheridan Sun gives the follow
ing account of the recent destruction
by Are of the Sheridan Lumber Com
pany's logging camp In the Mill Creek
mountains:
The most damaging result of a for
est fire in this Immediate vicinity was
the burning of the Cedar Creek log
ging camp of the Sheridan Lumber
Company, Monday. This camp is lo
cated near the junction of Mill and
Cedar creeks in Polk county, some fif
teen miles southwest of Sheridan, and
was a hustling, busy place, employ
ing 30 to 45 men. It consisted of a new
cook house 20x54 feet Just completed,
three bunk houses, foreman's resi
dence, cow barn, supply house, and
blacksmith shop and an expensive
dam. Contained in the buildings was
practically all the winter's supply of
feed and provision. All of this was
destroyed except the barn, dam and
blacksmith shop.
This fire was caused from the one
started near there accidentally two
weeks ago by sparks from the donkey
engine. At that time the high wind had
taken the burning mass and scattered
It high up the ridge, creating a ground
fire of the ferns and underbrush that
could not be prevented from spread
ing. Prompt efforts were made ' to
stamp it out, but It gradually worked
itself over the ridge to Pine creek, and
during the high wind Monday the
flames were fanned into renewed life
and coursed down Pine creek to Mill
creek and thence up to the logging
camp. It was impossible to stop the
fire and the loss of the camp resulted.
The area burned over is estimated
at two thousand acres, with a loss of
perhaps a half million feet of logs In
the Jam and river. The fire was simply
a ground one and but little damage
was caused to standing timber. In
some particulars the fire was a bene
fit, In that It cleared the ground of the
underbrush and decayed timber. Some
loss will be occasioned by the fire eat
ing Into the ends of the logs lying up
on the ground and this can only be
stopped by rains.
Both fires were the result of natural
conditions that could not be avoided
and were not the result of careless
ness on the part of employees, and no
blame is attached to anyone by the
company. The actual monetary loss to
the company will be quite heavy, being
principally on provisions, of which
there were several thousand dollars
worth on hand, and the buildings and
logging tools, but no estimate of the
amount has been made.

Will Begin Year's Work With Large
Knrollinent of Students.
' Dallas College will begin its eleventh
year of work tomorrow. The opening
exercises will be held in the chapel at
10 o'clock In the morning and the pub
lic is most cordially invited.
The students will miss President C.
A. Mock, who will spend another year
at Yale to complete his work. Acting
President Winter will also be absent,
as he is now in the East to attend the
general conference of his church. He
will return to his work about Novem
ber 1. v
Acting President Winter has almost
completed a canvass for the endow-:
ment of the college. In his campaign
he succeeded in raising the endow
ment of the school to $25,000, which
was a condition upon which he is as
sured that at least a Like amount will
be given to this fund by the church In
the East. One purpose of his present
trip is to see that this assurance is
made good.
- The other instructors will all be in
their accustomed places, except Mrs.
Wright, who, owing to ill health, will
not resume her work in vocal music
and dramatic art. Mrs. Etta Weaver
Carter will again take charge of the
art department, which place she ac
ceptably filled during the first years of
the college.
The prospect is good for a full en
rollment of students. Most of the for.
mer students will return and some
new faces will be seen among the
group- which will meet to begin the
work of the new year. The organize
tion of high schools will detain for a
time some who otherwise would en
large the student body at this time.
But most of these will come later.
when they are more fully prepared to
enter upon the work of the college.
Mrs. Cummings, formerly of Cor
vail is, will have charge of the dorml
tory and the young people of the col
lege may expect to haVe tht'r physi
cal needs well supplied.

BENSON WILL BE WELL
Condition 100 Per Cent. Better Than
Week Ago Will Soon Return.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15 Gov
ernor Frank W. Benson, of Oregon,
when seen today in the office of his
physician, Dr. George Culver, said to
a representative of the Oregonlan that
he expects to leave for his home after
the pr.imaries. In the meantime he will
visit relatives in San Jose. Governor
Benson has improved rapidly, but it
was on the advice of his physician that
he decided he would not gt to Oregon
for the present primaries.
The Governor has also secured from
Dr. Culver the following signed state
ment as to his condition and his im
provement. The report which covers
his case in detail, is as follows:
'I have seen Governor Benson at my
office today and dressed his wound.
The local condition is steadily and rap-
Idly improving and his physical con
dition Is practically 100 per cent bet
ter than It was one week ago which
means a great deal, as he has been
making steady progress for the last
two months.
'Our only reason now for keeping the
Governor here is to get him In such
shape that he will be physically equal
to any amount of strain that may be
put upon him when he goes back to
his work.
"The many reports In reference to
his eyes being in danger are all false,
as his eyes are perfect and as clear!
undoubtedly as they have been for
years. The fact is Governor Benson is
getting well and is getting well rapidly,
and he Is going to be a perfectly well
man, fully capable of holding the
most difficult position.

PORTLAND GETS GOAT SHOW
As the primary election will be held
Saturday, and as many persons are
not familiar with the provisions -of
the Corrupt Practices Act, the Ob
server prints the following brief out
line of its principal features.
A little study of these provisions
might possibly save some voter from
violating unknowingly a law, the terms
of which are binding in the extreme,
and thus save him worry and expense
In defending himself in court. The
measure was enacted by the people of
Oregon, and the natural presumption
would be that they are all familiar
with its provisions; but the fact is,
none of us are, and it is well, there
fore, to explain it here.-
The corrupt practices act, known as
the "Huntley Bill," makes It unlaw
ful for a candidate to give clothing,
meals, liquors, cigars or tobacco, with
intent or hope to influence a vote,
Makes it unlawful for any religious,
political or charitable organization to
solicit any payment or contribution
from a person seeking a nomination or
office.
Makes it unlawful for any person
to make use of force, coercion, threats,
etc., in Influencing the vote of another,
and for ministers, preachers, etc.
otherwise than by public speech or
print, to urge, persuade or command
any voter to vote for or against any
man or measure on account of his
religious duty.
Any person may do as much writ'
Ing, speaking, publishing or other
work, and spend as much time as he
wishes, without pay, for any candidate,
political party or measure, except on
the day of the primary election or the
day of the general election, hnd except
as above noted.
Hired workers at the polls are pro
hibited, except as challengers and to
watch the count.
On the election day no badges or
buttons are to be given out or are to
be worn, and on that day the voter is
to be allowed to go to the polls and
vote as his own Judgment dictates, ab
solutely free from solicitation, ques
tion or argument for votes, either for
men, measures or parties.
Makes It unlawful for a candidate,
in order to aid or promote his election,
to promise another person any public
or private position or employment.
Makes it unlawful to bet or wager
anything of pecuniary value on the re
sult of an election.
Makes it unlawful for any person to
pay another for any loss or damage
due to attendance at the polls, or for
the expense of transportation to or
from the polls.
Makes it unlawful to solicit or in
vite any candidate to subscribe to the
support of any club or organization,
or to buy tickets to any entertain
ment or ball.
Makes it unlawful for any publisher
to solicit any candidate to buy adver
tising space in any book, periodical or
other publication.
SEEMS LIKE USELESS WORK
Little Interest Shown by Voters In
Proposed New Laws,
Numerous readers of the Observer
have asked us recently why we do not
print an outline of the proposed meas
ures to be voted on in November and
at the same time give an editorial
opinion as to the merit, or lack of mer
it, of each. As this newspaper has been
doing this very thing for the last two
or three months, these requests make
it evident that few of our readers
have read what we had to say Is It not
a fact that the average reader is loo
busy, or thinks he Is too busy,, with
his own affairs to give much time to
study of these proposed laws and
amendments?
The Observer would be only too will
ing to devote any amount of time and
space necessary to a proper explana
tion of these measures If it could but
be made to know that its subscribers
would read what it might say about
them. But under the circumstances.
such a task would seem discouraging.
If not useless.
However, we shall grant the request
of these subscribers and give the voters
as much Information as we are able to
obtain about each measure. We might
say, in advance, that our advice on
most of .the proposed laws will be to
vote No.
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Hops In Independence District Better
In Quantity and Quality..
From reports from many of. the
leading hop growers It is evident that
the hops of this section are superior
to the crop of last year, in both qual
ity and quanlty, says the Independence
Enterprise. Krebs Bros, will harvest
about 1800 bales. C. A. McLaughlin's
yard will yield 1100 bales, which is 300
less than last year. His hops suffered
considerably on account of the dry
weather.
' W. W. Percival has the best yield
of any of the large yards. He has sixty
hve acres which will average about
2500 pounds to the acre. Mr. Damon
has a three-acre yard that will pro
duce 9000 pounds which is the best
record of any of the yards reported.
Only a few yards have finished pick
ing. It .is safe to say that the yards of
J. H. Burton, Horst Bros., Walker
Bros., Davidson & Hedges, J. E. Hub
bard, Sloper & Patton, and a' number
of others will yield more than last
year.

Doctor Withycombe Kesents Attacks
on Honest and Capable Man, -
(Dr. Withycombe In Corvallls Times.)
There are times when one finds It
difficult to hold his peace. This is my
condition at present, and I ask your
indulgence for a brief space to enter
a protest against the unwarranted at
tack upon Mr. Wallace McCamant. It
has been my pleasure to know Mr. Mc
Camant for a number of years, and I
know him as an able lawyer, states
man, scholar, and above all, a
thorough gentleman. He ha been' a
citizen of this state for a number of
years and his life among us has been,
as it were, an open book without a
blemish upon a single page. As a law
yer he is the equal of any in the North
west and always found unswervingly
faithful to his clients. .
Many of our citizens will doubtless
remember his eloquent and Inspiring
address at the decoration exercises in
this city some two years since. This is
thoroughly characteristics of the man.
His voice has been heard all over the
commonwealth in behalf of civic right
eousness and higher ideals of civiliza
tion. He is a man of sterling integrity
and absolutely fearless to do . that
which he thinks is right, regardless of
public criticism. I can assure your
readers that if Mr. McCamant is nom
inated and elected to the high office
to which he aspires, he will bring
strength and honor to the supreme
bench of Oregon.
