k now the justiy 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

IhT r , " imPrvlng quality or
- -h.o, ana encourages sloth and
neglect.
Instances to back up the argument
"1 be drawn from Oregon, especially
tl-e west side district. Some dealers
probably some of the most pro
gressive growers will be charged with
the lt,.,ns of weakness In the pool
so Ung t-yrtem. and they are to be so
Hilly presented that the National asso
ciate, which is essentially for im
proved product and conditions, must
i'dorse the demand that noolln--
cease, that all wool be put on the mar-
n recording to its grade, and th;it
every growf-r be held to a strict stand
ara, just as Is being done by the pro
gressive apple grower.
"Pool selling In western Oregon has
come to be a serious menace to Ore
gon's wool Industry," declared a prom
inent dealer this morning, "and we
want to have the problem thoroughly
aired at the coming session of the Na
tional convention in Portland.
"Let me illustrate. Take three grow
ers for Instance. One has wool worth
on the market but 16 cents, another
18 and still another's product may be
easily worth 28 cents. This range is
possible in one little community, al
though all are shearing thoroughbred
sheep. The present practice is for
these growers to pool their entire out
put, and put it up at auction to the
highest bidder. A buyer must take all
or none. He must pay the same price
for the wool which is worth 28 cents
as for that which is really worth but
10. The result of this is that an aver
age is struck, wherein the man with
the good wool lowers his returns and
the man with the poor wool gets more
than he is entitled to receive."
"Mark the effect of this in growing.
Three men are engaged in the industry
in the same district. One is a progres
sive man, and gets the best wool
stock, regardless of the mutton value
of the sheep. The second man has an
indlferent lot of sheep, perhaps a
mixture of several breeds. The third
pays no attention to stock In selecting.
A grower purchasing the best stock
will take probably good care, seeing
that the animal is kept in good, clean
pasture, where the fleece is protected
and preserved white and beautiful.
Number 2 gives a little attention to
the protection of his indifferent flock,
but number 3 does nothing, permit
ting his flock to range in the brush at
will, run through charred districts,
blackening and discoloring the fleece,
and turning off a class of wool that Is
In no demand. When selling time
comes the man who has spent time
and money to keep the quality of his
wool high and preserve the fleece
clean, loses a few cents a pound In the
averaging process of pool selling, to
pull the negligent and Indifferent man
through.
"This is a. positive discouragement
to progress, and can be of no benefit
to any element of the community that
should be protected. The practice
Is wholly contrary to the spirit of Ore
gon excellence. See what Hood River
does with apples. An association sells
the entire product of the community,
but the strictest watch Is kept to see
that every apple comes up to a fixed
standard. With the wool people, the
pool sells, but no attention whatever
Is elven quality. Good wool Is dragged
down by the bad. Poor work is paid
higher returns than it should receive,
while good work receives less. Every
principle that has made Hood River
famous is negatived in the wool pool.
'This is wrong. Western Uregon
can and will produce the finest wool
of the world in due time, but never
Scan do so while the incentive remains
for Inferiority, rather than excellence,
jour wool growers must grade their
'product, make every grower stand by
j his grade and make pools or districts
'stand by every fleece sent out under
their names. Strict grading, Instead of
pooling Is the need of the hour, else
we can never attain any part of that
excellence won by Australia, which has
the fame or furnishing the standard
wool of the market."

Jay Bowerman, assembly candidate,
on a count of approximately two-
thirds of the vdte cast In the primary
election of Saturday, has won the
nomination for governor of Oregon
by a plurality of 3500 to 4000 over
Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon City, with
Ernest Hofer, of Salem, third and
Albert Abraham, of Roseburg, fourth.
The returns seem to Indicate con
clusively the defeat of Ralph W. Hoyt,
the assembly candidate for State
Treasurer, by Thomas B. Kay, by a
majority of 2000.
Outside Comities Defeat Hoyt.
Mr. Hoyt in Multnomah County has
received a majority over Kay of more
than 1200, but the returns from other
counties so far received show that
Kay is leading throughout the re
malnder of the Btate and has over
come the Multnomah lead and has
1800 advantage over his opponent.
The returns for Multnomah County
are more nearly complete than from
the other portions of the state, so that
if the proportion of votes cast for the
counties Kay will increase this lead
materially.
On the vote so far as counted, F. W.
Benson, assembly, candidate for Sec
retary of State, has a lead of more
than 8000 over G. Wingate, and his
majority will probably roll up to more
than 10,000.
Crawford's 10,000 Lead Growing.
For Attorney-General, A. M. Craw
ford, on the latest returns, shows a
majority over J. N. Hart, the assem
bly candidate, of about 10,000 which
will be increased by the belated returns.
W. S. Dunlway, the present State
Printer, has also defeated W. J.
Clarke, assembly candidate, by a wide
margin. Dunlway now shows a major
ity of more than 8000 over Clarke, and
each later report increases Dunlway's
lead.
The closest contest is between O. P.
Hoff, assembly candidate for Commis
sioner of Labor Statistics, and G. M.
Orton. The total returns so far as
complied give 1020 more than Orton.
HofT Gains In Small Counties.
If the counties of smaller popula
tion Bhow on a complete count the
same relative difference between the
two men Hoff will have won the con
test by about 750 votes. Orton has
had his principal strength in the town
and city precincts and from these the
vote is more complete than from the
country districts, where Hon has
shown the greater strength.-
For Superintendent of Water Divis
ion No. 1, J. T. Chinnock has a strong
load over F. K. Gettin and Is undoubt
edly nomlnatd. Mr. Gettin had the as
sembly Indorsement.
Hawley's Lead Growing.
For Representative In Congress
from the First District the Incomplete
returns give W. C. Hawley a. majority
over B. F. Mulkey of 1648, but In
these figures less than two-thirds of
the vote cast is represented. On the
final returns, estimating the vote on
the way if is shown in the incomplete
figures. Representative Hawley will be
nominated for re-election by a major
ity over his opponent by approximate
ly 3000.
In the Second Congressional District
Representative Ellis Is defeated for
nomination for re-election by between
by A- W. Lafferty, as
county of Gilliam, and that all three
of the counties named would reject
him.
West Named by Democrats.
In the general election Mr. Bower
man will be opposed by Oswald West,
who has been nominated by the Dem
ovrats over Jefferson Myers.
Returns from the Democratic vote
are not so complete as those from the
Republican vote but the reports so far
received give West 2285 and Myers
1424. Rports are wholly lacking from
half of the counties, but West has led
so generally throughout the portion of
the state heard from that his nomlna
tion seems assured.
APPLE MARKET STEADY
Western Growers Will Sell Early And
Avoid Slumps
A satisfactory apple market Is ex
pected this season. Owing to the full
crop in the West the growers seem
disposed to sell early and there is no
danger of a repetition of last year's
slump at the close because of a big
carry-over of storage stock. - While
prices may not everage as high as last
year, the greater volume of the trade
will make the season a profitable one
to the growers.
The figures of the Agricultural De
partment of condition on August 1
compared with last year and the 10
year average in the leading apple-
producing states have been compiled
by the Los Angeles Cold Storage Com
pany in a circular to the trade, as
follows:

Work Together for Bowernian's
Election In November.
With the smoke of conflict lifting,
the dove of peace appears to be hov.
erlng over the Republican party in
Oregon, says yesterday's Oregonian
Leaders In both assembly and anti-
assembly camps swear their allegiance
to the Republican ticket as nomlnat
ed by the people Saturday. If there is
any bolting, it will be confined to ml
nor and Inconsequential cliques, so it
was made plain.
Jay Bowerman, assembly nominee
for Governor, will have the support of
those who were running against him
and he in turn will give his support to
the whole ticket. Mr. Bowerman took
occasion yesterday to define his stand,
both with regard to the primary law
and the Republican ticket as nominat
ed.
"I am most heartily In favor of the
primary law, and it is the spirit and
intent of this law that the choice of
the members of ahy party be indicat
ed in the primary election," said he.
"Republicans have expressed their
wishes and nominated the candidates
of their choice and I believe it is right
and proper for every Republican who
believes In the primary law to evidence
that belief by supporting' the ticket
named at the primary election on last
Saturday.
Bowerman to Aid All.
'I wish to take advantage of this
opportunity of giving public utter
ance to the assurances I have given to
the other candidates that I shall most
heartily support them and render all
possible aid and assistance to the tick
et. If the primary law Is to be the suc
cess that it can be, it is highly im
portant that the will of the people as
expressed at the primary election be
acquiesced! in by the members of the
party. I shall do all I can for the suc
cess of the men nominated at the pri
mary election. They are Republicans,
chosen by Republicans in the primary
election and, if they are elected, as I
confidently belleve,they will be, I can
work In accord and harmony with
them."
Judge Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon
City, Mr. Bowerman's nearest compet
itor, said that he would do everything
possible for the ticket.
I am not a man to get cranky
over being, defeated," said he. "I told
Mr. Bowerman before the election that
I would be with the successful candi
date. I mean to support the Republi
can ticket all along the line."
Defeated Ones Loyal.
Colonel E. Hofer, of Salem, the
third man n tin race, was just as positive.
"I made my campaign on just such
a proposition," said he. "In the open
ing speech of my campaign I said I
would support the entire ticket, from
Governor down. I said the same thing
In my closing speech at Salem, and I
mean to stand by my word."
Albert Abraham, of Roseburg, has
said from the first that he would give
his full support to the successful can
didate for Governor. "I am a Republi
can and I shall stand behind the
whole Republican ticket as nominat
ed," he said.
In the Congressional- contest the
hatchet was burled with the nominat
ing election. Representative Ellis, de
feated assembly candidate, advised
The Oregonian from Pendleton yester
day that he would give his full sup
port to A. W. Lafferty, the successful
candidate. "I never yet failed to sup
port the party and I certainly shall
give the party candidates my support
this year," said Mr. Ellis.
In the First Congressional district
the defeated Insurgent candidate, B.
F. Mulkey, will aid the assembly man.
Representative Hawley. "I will sup
port the successful candidates of the
party, whether assembly or anti-assembly,"
said Mr. Mulkey. He also
sent the following telegram to Mr.
Hawley: "I learn Uiat you have been
chosen to succeed yourself. Accept
my congratulations."
LalTcrty Deflnea Position.
Mr. Lafferty, In pledging his support
tfi the whole ticket, (presented his
views at some length. He said:
"Many of the best men In Oregon
went down In defeat Saturday largely
If not wholly because they had gone
Into the assembly. Rut these men are
not now threatening to bolt the party.
They are loyal Republicans.
"When such popular men and
splendid Republicans as Senator J. N.
Hart, Ralph W. Hoyt, George McMill
an, Pat McArthur and Jack Latour
ette, who apparently failed of nomi
nations Saturday, say that they will
support the Republican ticket as nom
inated, I think that we who were suc
cessful would be small Indeed If we
did not join with those who. were un
successful to carry the party to vic
tory In November. In my campaign
speeches I stated that whether nomi
nated or not I would work loyally for
the Republican ticket at the approach
ing election, and I am delighted to
know that those who were defeated
bly candidate for State Senator, who
defeated the assembly -candidate, A.
B. Manley, said that he would work
for the' ticket as nominated. "I be
lieve in settling our differences with.
in the party and then working for the
cqmmon good," said he. "So far as I
know now I shall support Mr. Bower
man and the whole ticket"
McGinn Is for Harmony,
Henry E. McGinn, anti-assembly
leader 'who defeated Judge John B
Cleland for the nomination for Circuit
Judge in Department No. 8, took a decided-
stand for party harmony last
night.
"The Republicans must get together.
There is much work to be done along
progressive lines. We must do our
part in the Nation's work along these
same lines. We may have our differ
ences but they are not vital differen
ces. And if they are not vital differen
ces they may and can be adjusted. Vi
tal differences can never be adjusted
There are no mental reservations of
any kind In my views as I have ex
pressed them. I shall work for Mr.
Bowerman and the Republican tick
et." "I consider it a victory for the peo
ple," said George W. Joseph, nomi
nee for State Senator. "I hold the most
kindly feelings toward my opponents
and feel sure- that they will support
me with the rest of the Republican
ticket I want to see the entire ticket
elected from top to bottom, regardless
of the individual views of the candi
dates with reference- to party policy.
My platform during the coming cam
paign will be the same as that I an
nounced before the primaries. I shall
work and vote for a united Republi
can party and if elected expect to do
the best I can for Oregon and the peo
ple of Oregon."

WAIT FOR ENGLISH DEMAND
Course of Hop Market Will Dreid
on Foreign Buying.
The first aamples of Oregon hops
will reach the London market about
the last of this month, and by Octo
ber 10 pr IS It will be known wheth
er or not there Is going to be an early
demand from that quarter. If the Eng
lishmen should buy early, a good
healthy market is assured, but If
they do not come In as expected, it Is
question whether even the present
prices can be maintained. The Eastern
trade is going to play a waiting game
again without doubt and unless they
are drawn Into the market for O re-
go ns by a strong English buying
movement will do everything they can
to force prices down at this end, by
delaying their purchases until the last
moment as they did last year.
In the meantime, conditions are
shaping themselves well on the other
side. The English market Is of a buoy
snt character, but It Is the English
product that Is now enjoying the
boom. The following cable was receiv
ed yesterdsy by Klaber, Wolf at Net
ter from their London office:
"Market extremely firm with up
ward tendency. Growers hold for high
er prices. Values are 10 to 111 shill
ings. Market for Pacifies will not open
until representative samples received."
Another London cable received by
a local dealer follows:
"Market haa upward tendency. Best
