When the Oregon Development League recently ankod the co-operation of the etate in making a compre henHive exhibit of the product of the racifio northwest, heartiest assurance of help came from every quarter, but before definite arrangement could be completed the trustee of the com mercial club building were offered a I five year' rental of $ 21,000 for the ex . hibit room and felt compelled to ac i ccpt thi in justice to tho stockhold ! era. But the officer of tho league say that thoir plan will yet materialize. Both the 'Tacific Monthly" maga : zine and "Sunset" appear aH special Rose Festival "numbers for June. ? Nothing proves the activity of Oregon ' and Washington communities so forc- ibly as a glance through the advertis i ing sections of these coast-published magazines. Manufacturers in all parts oi tne United States seem to be taking a new interest in the investigation of con ditions here in the northwest, and especially is this true of the factory which represents a modorate invest ment. From every city of any size on the coast delegates have come to Portland to attend the session of the Pacific Coast Ad Men's Association. It is being held in tho convention hall of the commercial club building, and the association will enjoy a unique dinner at the club to-night. Their banquets are probably the most un usual and interesting given by any convention they have been compared to similar affairs of the famous Grid lron Club of Washington and since the Portland Ad Men claim to have the largest advertising club in Amer ica, they are making spocial effort as hosts.

MUCH INTEREST 15 MANIFESTED From the letter of inquiry concern ing accommodation and the ecope of work in the summer session Mr. Traver say he i sanguine in the be lief that the session beginning on June 8th will xceed any previously held. The work i o planned aa to give result in Bpecial line and in this wav a teacher can get any preparation needed. When it ia remembered that much of thi will be under such men as President Ressler, Principal Traver, Superintendent Churchill, of Baker Citv. and Superintendent Cooper, of Seattle, it is plain that no one need ing any such work oan afford to miss this opportunity. From their broad experience and their executive force these combine the practical with the theoretical in a most effective way, and it is hard to conceive how a teacher could fail to get a benefit from this work. W. E. Smith, an alumni who has been teaching the past winter at Hubbard, is visiting at the normal. Mr. Smith had a most successful year's work and it is to his credit thot he had the largest percentage of pu pils muking the recent 8th grade ex aminations of any teacher m Marion county. t Paul II. Wyman is taking his ex aminations for his A. B. degree from the University of Utah at Salt Lake, here this week. By special arrange ments the questions are sent to Mrs. Pennell who conducts the examina tions. Memorial exercises were held on Friday in the assembly hall at the state normal. Mr. Buckham gave a most interesting talk replete with per sonal recollections and experiences; he was at that time teaching in the state normal of Connecticut. Miss Tuthill read some very appropriate elections of prose and poetry, and Mr.. Powell furnished the special mu sic The exercises were greatly en joyed by the entire school. It is interesting to note that all the candidates for graduation in June have secured good positions for the coming year, Mr. Traver informs us that the demand for teachers who ave had preparation is far greater than it is possible to supply. It goes without saying that the work of the normal is being appreciated more and more, for the common schools re ceive a direct benefit: and these teach er go to all sections of the state.

The largest vote waa polled Monday that wa ever cast in the history of Polk county. There were many reason why the people took such an interest in voting at thi time. Chief among these seemed to be senatorial and local option contest. The vote on the senatorial contest re sulted in a majority of 49 in favor of Chamberlain in Independence pre cincts, and on local option the two precincts went wet by the small ma jority of 36. At tho election in Polk county two years ago the county went wet by a majority of an even '400 and it is conceded that the county ha gone dry at this election by not less than 300 majority. W. C. Hawley will win out by about 400 majority over Whitney for congress. R. S. Bean is , elected su preme judge, Polk county giving him almost 1400 majority over his oppo nents. Bailey is elected food commis sioner with a little less majority in this county than that given Bean. The result is still in doubt as to who is chosen United States senator, but it is believed . that Chamberlain will win by a small majority. The Portland Telegram of tho 2d says that Chamberlain is in the lead by 140 votes. , In the event that the Tel egram's count is correct there is rea son to believe that Cake will win out when the last votes are Counted. It is safe to say that the precincts of eastern Oregon which will be the last heard from are mostly republican. The election of Thos. K. Campbell to the office of railroad commissioner is conceded. J. H. McNary, district attorney, B. F. Jones, joint represent ative, and C. L. Hawley are also elect ed without doubt. As near as can be ascertained Coad has won the election to the office of county judge over J. E. Sibley by about 200 majority. J. M. Grant slips back into the office of sheriff with little opposition. Smith appears to have been elected to the office of county clerk. His majority will be something near 300. Ed Dunn will be elected treasure by a majority of about 250. C. S. Graves will be elected assessor by a majority of 120 or so. Seymour will be chosen county school superintendent by a majority of approximately 250. Ueez ley is re-elected surveyor. Chapman had no opposition for coroner. Wm. Kiddell will have a majority of more than 600 for commissioner. COUNTY GOES PROHIBITION FIRST STATE BANK Independence, Oregon. .
