The first evidence of life on the part of either
campaign committee in Polk county, is the an
nouncement in today's issue of a series of dates
for the republican candidates. The first thing
decided upon by the democrats was to make no
public campaigu but to g "slill hunting" for
voters. From the standpoint of the politician
that is a strategic move for the minority party.
If all real issues can be kept down or sidetracked
for false ones and the campaign put on the basis
of a "still hunting," hand shaking contest, the ad
vantage belongs to the minority party. It has
more votes to huut. more hands to shake. The
campaign in Polk county has so tar been as tl
democrats, as the minority party would have it.
There has been a growing dissatisfaction with
this style of campaign and during the past few
days some criticism has been directed at the re
publican management for permitting it. Dissat
isfaction has exteuded even to the candidates and
there has been a disposition to drag Chairman
Hart from his den of repose in the second story
of a business block near the county jail at Dallas.
Mr. Hart has now made his first move. He has
arranged dates for speaking and rallies and gives
assurance he will arrange others. He now pro
poses to open up the campaign in earnest, recog
nizing that voters have the right to know where
candidates stand on questions with which they
will have to deal it elected. It is now up to the
democratic committee to follow suit.
means has been provided whereby can
didates mav take the public into their
confidence and let voters know how they
stand on public questions. Will the demo
cratic committee do as well? Is the public to
have an ODDortunitv to hear from a democratic
i. &
candidate during this campaign? Will they come
before the public and tell why they would strike
a blow at the F.oosevelt administration at this
time in the election that opens the national cam
paign?
Tho growth on 3,000 acres, which would include
the hops within a radius of 8 or 10 miles of Inde
pondence would reach the enormous figure of
flS.OO.l.OOO indie? in a night. On twelve nights
it would bo as many feet or lS,10.'i miles, nearly
two-thirds of the distance round the earth.
B. L. Eddy, candidate for circuit judge is
making a good impression in the Third district.
Mr. Eddy has twice represented his county, Ti'.la
mook, in the legislature. He is a comparatively
young man and has capacity and legal qualiticatioi 8
as well as the temperament for a good judicial of
ficer. If voters will only remember when mark
ing their ballots for circuit judge that R. L. Eddy
is one of the candidates, a good majority for him
is assured.
Many new flouring mills are being erected or
enlarged in the Northwest either co incident with
or as a result of the Oriental war. The pros
pects are the big wheat cargoes of the Pacific
coast will be a thing of the past. Instead, wheat
will be ground into tlour and shipped as a manu
factured product.
E. M. Smith and Carl Graves, candidates for
clerk and assessor respectively are men whose
reputations are of the best and they are peculiar
ly qualified for the offices named. Their oppo
nents are third term men and thera should be no
question as to the election of Smith and Graves.

The Boy with a Brownie
The poultry shows of the past season give ir
refutable proof that climate has as little to do
with success or failure in poultry raising as with
race suicide. From west of the Cascades where
winters are moist and east where the climate is
dry and vigorous, and from the hot sunshine of
Southern California, coast bred fowls of highest
quality have been exhibited. Russia with the
roughest climate in the world, exports millions of
dollars worth worth of poultry and eggs annually
New England, with its freakish climate, raises ex
cellent poultry. Regardless of sunshine or clouds,
barometer or thermometer, poultry can be sue
cessfully raised on the Pacific coast, if there is
success in the raiaeri In Oregon the poultry and
eVe market is practically unlimited. They al
ways command a good price and one of the won
ders of the day is why the poultry business is not
given more attention than it has had in Oregon.
Interest in hops, as the hop season advances
has given rise, as it usually does to some wild
speculation relative to the year's prospective out
put. Already the estimated yield ot the state for
the year has been put as high as 140,000 bales.
There is nothing in the present outlook upon
-which to base so high an estimate. The crop is
. looking fairly well, but in an estimate of the total
yield missing hills which are numerous in many
of the old yards are to be considered. As to in
creased acreage, it should be remembered that no
yield is to be expected from hops put out this
year. It is early in the season yet to make an
estimate approximating accuracy, but from pres
ent prospects conservative hop men expect the
output to be within the 100,000 bale limit. The
340,000 bale estimate is rather wild.
, A hop vine on a favorble night will grow as
much as twelve inches says John Groves, a prac
tical hop grower. Counting 888 hills to the acre,
and 3 vines to the hill the total growth for one1
June 7 has been added to the list of sales
days for the special rate fare to St. Louis. It was
done for the convenience of Oregonians who may
desire to be present at the exposition on Oregon
day.
Only a few years ago, the preservation of tha
integrity of China was a burning internationa
question. Now it's the preservation of Chinese
neutrality.
Tom Richardson, rocently from New Orleans
has undertaken to scrape the moss off the backs
and shake up the dry bones of Portland generally
Big job.
It's real hop dreams growers may have warm
nights now when their vines are growing at the
rate of six to twelve inches a night.
Salem has decided to return to primitive
educational methods by abolishing a city
superintendent of schools.
Who wants the job of filling the vacancy on
the State Fair Board caused by the resignation
of Mr. Wingate?
Astoria is considering the matter of a regetta
this year. Astoria without a regetta may as well
be off the map.
Prospects for a big republican victory in Polk
county look brighter as the campaiga opens up in
earnest.
The Salem Journal has an Indian cartoonist.
His pictures are out o'sight.
Editor B. F. Irvine of the' Corvallis Times
has $100 and he oners to bet the whole amount
le can prove the front page of the Gazette a liar.
The ax is getting in its work on the Portland
postoffice officials. Some get it in the foot and
others in the neck.
Letters that go through the Portland post-
office now have a rocky road to travel.
There is said to be a man in Astoria who
does not want to go to heaven, for fear of meeting
his first wife there.
It is now announced from New York that no
false blondes will hereafter be received in the
eading theatrical choruses. The world may lose
