Since the county and state

estroved. nurnosely or otherwise
md the tellers explained the only
iasis they had on which to work

iccessary for a majority and
nly six were declared nominated

d. As the ballots had been de
stroyed, it was impossible to
riake a recount.

islative ticket he made tho try
for Governor in tho state assem
bly and received among his sup
port several of the Multnomah
delegation who were opposed to
the slate.
Study of the Multnomnh legis
lative ticket and tho vote of the
delegation in the state assembly
discloses a fine piece of political
manipulation. The legislative
slate wa so framed that the men
on it were forced to 'support
Bowerman for governor and
drag with them their friends.
Thus, Peter Hume of Sellwood,
was nut on the slate and this
made James Kertchem and the
rest of the Sellwood delegates
work for Bowerman. Collier, of
St. Johns, was put on the slato
for similar reasons. These little
points were discovered after the
Multnomah delegation voted for
Governor, at which time it was
disclosed the reason that the
friends of Dr. Smith could not
get an even brake in the delega
tion because the legislative slate
maker had tied up the delegates
by trading and wirepulling.
Quite a howl is going up over
the recommendation of Wallace
McCamant for Supreme Justice.
This indorsement of McCamant
came without premeditation, but
lawers who have been abvocating
a non political judiciary are com
plaining, especially those who
point to McCamant's connection
with the corporation. Criticism,
to exists over the Multnomah
delagation throwing the hooks
into the delegations from Clack
amas and Columbia County and
declaring L. G. Clark the choice
for Joint Senator. O. W. East
ham asserts that he is the assem
bly choice since ho had the sup
port of Clackamas and Columbia
delegations. Eastham and Clark
will split the assembly vote.
The interests, however, have
planned to put someone in field
to split the statement vote and
they will try to save C. N. Mc
Arthurand John Iatourette by
the same methods. Telegram.
WOOL PRICES NOT SATISFACTORY
In the prices paid at the latest
wool sales in this state there was
not much encouragement for the
sheepmen who for some weeks
have been holding back for a
better market, says the Tele
gram. At Shaniko a little more
than half a million pounds of
wool changed hands, and the
prices ranged from 11 to 15ft
cents.
The high prices for the day
was paid by C. H. Green, repre
senting Kosnland & Co, for the
T. S. Hamilton clip of 51,000
pounds. The general range of
prices was materially under that
of three weeks ago, when as
high as 17 cents was paid for
fancy wool.
The sheepmen naturally are
far from satisfied with the mar
ket developments to date, and
as a result it is said that approx
imately 1,000,000 pounds of wool
still remain unsold in the Shani
ko warehouses. In the other
wool centers of Eastern Oregon
warehouse holdings are also
large.
Conditions in the Boston wool
market are reported as follews:
"The wool market is still quiet,
and with prices weak and tend
ing lower. Untill the extent of
the demand for light-weight
goods becomes known there is
little expectation, for improve
ment, and interest is centered in
the West, where the season is
well advance!, Fleeces are the
weakest spot in the market, with
some sales at the low figures.
The new territory wools are com
ing in very slowly, and as most
of them are consigned at limited
prices, dealers and manufactur
ers Bhow littlo interest Foreign
wools are very quiet
"Much buying has been done
in Montana, in addition to largo
consignments. Tho season is
nearly over in Oregon, Wyoming
and Idaho, somo of tho mills
having been unusually heavy
buyers. Tho territory wools
havo been secured this year on a
scoured basis of about 53G5
cents for clothing and 5G58
cents for medium and staple,
these prices being about 15 cents
under last year's figures. Grow
ers in tho ilecco sections aro
showing moro disposition to ac
cept the low bids of dealers.
AN IMPORTANT RULIN0.
After making a review of the
work of several of the county
assessors, and learning that cer
tain classes of property havo not
been considered by them in mak
ing their assessments, tho State
Tax commission has issued a
notice to the assessors instruct
ing them as to the law and also
stating that the commission in
dorsed the plan of hewing right
to the line in making the assess
ments. The commission in its commu
nication says that it appears that
in some counties mortgage notes
aro not listed, or if listed at all,
only in instances where the tax
payers fairly insist f that their
mortgage notes shall be assessed.
It further, says that some assess
ors and county boards hold that
it is not good public policy to
tax such notes, and then points
out the consequences of such an
action - that the taxpayer is quick
to understand the attitude of the
assessor and to take advantage
of it by avoiding to include-his
notes in his list of property.
On the other hand, tho letter
of instruction says, there are
assessors who are making a
strong effort to get all classes of
property assessed and with this
end in view are checking up all
the mortgage notes on record in
their counties. "This course,"
says the communication, "has
been indorsed by the commission
and we desire it distinctly under
stood that such diligence on the
part of the assessor is commend
ed and approved."
The commission then quotes
the law on the subject of taxation
for the benefit of the assessors.
The law provides that all real
and personal property within the
state, save such as is exempt,
shall be subject to assessment,
and also provides that "all debts
due or to become due from sol
vent debtors, whether on account,
contract, note, mortgage or
otherwise, either within or with
out this state," shall be assessed.
The commission further says
that in equalizing between tho
counties for the purpose of ap
propriating tho state tax, it is
important thnt it take into con
sideration the extent of which
the assessors have been success
ful in listing intangible it will
undertake to make nn estimate
in this regard.

Klamath Chrenicle: The first
train load of beef cattle to be
shipped out of this country this
spring went out from the South
ern Pacific yards here today.
The train consisted of M cars in
which were 10S head of the finest
beef probably ever shipped out
of the country to the California
market
This train of entile is going lo
John Gerber at Sacramento and
is owned by him and Lewis
Gerber. The cattle came from
the Gerber Brothers' big Horsefly
ranch, 50 miles cast of hero
where they were wintered and
fattened for the market.
Mr. Gerber, who is ono of the
best authorities on the stock situ
ation in the country, states that
this year's shipment of beef from
this section would fall at least
10,000 head short of last year's
shipment This is attributed to
the constantly increasing papula
tion of the country and settleing
up of the land that was formerly
used for range which is being
fenced and farmed. In fact the
country is settling up at such a
rapid rate that it is getting very
hard for the stockmen to secure
range for their herds at all.
When they do not own they have
to rent from the government in
forest reserves and big timber
owners and prices for range is
becoming almost prohibitive
owing to the great demand for it.
That the old time stockman is
soon to become a thing of the
past in this section is becoming
more evident each year. With
the demand for land in the west
with the increased population,
millions of acres where nothing
but sheep and cattle were wont
to run a few years ago are fenced
and are today raising grain or
other commodities. Tho stock
man, who formerly had a free
use of the broad acres of the
country will have lo reduce his
business down to the number
which he can pasture or feed
from tho crops and grass of his
own and as the big stock ranches
are being gradually weeded out
and cut up for the accommoda
tion of the demand for moro
homes even these former big
ranches are becoming more
scarce from year to year and will
Boon be occupied by farmers
where there is a foot of land
which will grow grain.
The stock men regret to see
this condition coming up but no
thing can slop it People must
have homes and where the homes
are to be found the cities nre
sending their overplus of people
to settle on the land and work it
to grow tho food and commodi
ties of thefast increasing popula
tion of'tho world.
INDUSTRIAL NOTIiS.
(Portland Correspondence. )
Exhibits are now being collect
ed for the Oregon car to bo oper
ated throughout the East by the
Great Northern, and all sections
of the state aro urged to bo re
presented. Fruits, grains, vog
tables, grasses, etc., aro being
gathered for use on the car and
it is particularly desired to have
fruits on the limb, showing them
exactly as they were in their
natural state.
H. B, Wight, expert professor
for tho Portland Chamber of
Commerce, ('!) Fifth Street, is
receiving shipments of these
products for tho Great Northern
car, which is being filled under
tho directions of F, W. Graham,
western industrial agent. Ho
urges that each community for
ward somo of Ub best products,
shipping them by express to
Mr. Wight, either paying tho
express charges or sending them
C. O. D. In tho former case,
OREGON, JULY 30, 1910

- y .j
expressngo will bo refunded by
Mr. Graham.
The opportunity Oregon has to
secure wide advertising in this
way is very marked. Not only
will the exhibit be shown to
many thousands of people while
they are in tho car but arrange
ments have been for space at a
circuit of state fairs and large
exhibits will be made at the
Lund Show this winter at Chica
go. The exhibit car will be ac
companied by a lecturer and will
bo on tour from early Fall untill
next Spring. Oregon people
should respond liberally with
specimens for this car. Exhibits
must be complete in order to
make the show effective and here
is a chance for co-operation be
tween the state and tho railroad
interests that will be of great
value to both.
Forty-two million bushels of
wheat is the estimated crop of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
according to an authority hero
who has completed a trip through
tho grain sections. He finds
that Oregon will produce 15,000,
000 bushels, Washington 18.000,
000 bushels and Idaho O.OOO.OOO
bushels. Unfavorable weather
conditions during the past Win
ter in some sections caused a
fallintr olf over the total yield of
i hist year which was 52,500,000
fftish'els for the three states,
The visit to Western Oregon
of Dr. Bernhard Boeggild, the
dairying expert of the Universi-
ty of Copenhagen, during the
week was important Dr. Boeg
gild said conditions in Western
Oregon are ideal for dairying
and this section can surpass the
world in this industry. He said
dairying is sadly neglected for it
is capable of great expansion
here. Illustrating this, lie said
Denmark, whoes total area is but
11,000 square miles, has a dairy
industry yielding $5-1,000,000 in
butter exports. lie thinks Wes
tern Oregon can at least double
Denmark's present production.
Oregon's apple show will bo
held in Portland November 30 to
December 2. It will bo a great
exposition of tho state's fruit
growing possibilities and it will
bo of wide interest because of
Oregon's great fame as tho home
of the red apple. Thoro promise
to bo exhibits entered in compe
tition for prizes from very apple
growing county in the state.
The Corvallis Commercial Club
has already offered $100 for the
best apple exhibits from Benton
County and tho Hood River Com
mercial Club has offered $50 for
prizes for the best apple show
from that section. Other count
ies will yet bo heard from in the
same way.
Till! COW
The dairy cow, if ablo to ex
press herself in a way which the
human family would comprehend
might well lay claim to being
man's best friend. She might
establish such a claim by calling
attention to tho fact that from
her product nnd from her car
cass manufactures more of tho
necessities of life than from any
other similar source; She furn
ishes these necessities to him
from infancy untill such a time
as temporal things aro no longer
associated with his existence,
and she does it ungrudgingly
and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
man's necessity and his pleasure,
tho prosperity of an agricultural
community is moro closely identi
fied with her than with any
other domestic animal, Tho
horse is quite essential in tilling
tho soil, but where necessity re-
nl.tunn tl Mm nttlMll, OfM-l if 4llfl
IJUIIUB ll UIU Ollliujr null "I w..
cow can tako his placo, as hot
has done in every agricultural
section on earth. The horse can
only furnish labor and can only
return a profit to his owner
when conditions are right for re
turning satisfactory grain crops.
It is a well known fact that tho
dairy cow is tho salvation of tho
farmer in times of poor crops as
sho is ablo to convert tho rough
crops which aro nover a total
failure, into dairy products
which always,havo a cash value.
l.i addition lo titis she furnis
hes skim milk and buttermilk
for tho cnlvcs, pigs and poultry
and fortuity for the soil, with
out which a farm becomes less
Valuable each year and the wholo
country less prosperous.
The elimination of tho dairy
cow would necessitate an almost
revolutionary readjustment of
man's tastes and requirements.
It would mean untold suffering
and hardship. Of course she
will not be dispensed with but
her value can perhaps best be
appreciated by contemplating
such a loss.
She will continue to be man's
best friend as long as the human
family oxists and will keep on
supplying him with his greatest
needs just as sho has dono
through nil the ages.
HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY.
"Directions for living and
sleeping in the open air," is tho
title of a pamphlet being sent
out by the National Association
for tho study and prevention of
Tuberculosis to its local repre
sentatives in all parts of the
United States.
The pamphlet is meant to bo
a handbook for anybody who de
sires to sleep out of doors in his
own home. It empasizes the
fact that outdoor sleeping is de
sirable for the well or the sick.
The booklet will be sent free of
charge to anyone applying for it
nt the headquarters of the Na
tional Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis
in New York, or the secretary of
any local or state anti-tuberculosis
association.
Some of the subjects of which
the pamphlet treats aro how to
tako open air treatment in a
tenement house; how to build a
small shack or cabin on n flat
roof in the city; how to make
one comfortable outdoors either
in hot or cold weather; how to
arrango a porch on a country
house nnd how to build n cheap
porch; the construction of tents
and tent houses; the kind of
beds and bedding to use in out
door sleeping nnd various other
topics. The book is well illus
trated and attractively prepared.
Tho object of the book is to
suggest particularly to consump
tives who cannot secure admis
sion to a sanitoriums how they
can be treated at home under the
direction of a physician. In view
of the fact that there are less
thnn 25,000 hospital beds in the
United States for consumptives
and fully 300,000 who should be
in hospitals, the National Asso
ciation urges that moro attention
bo paid to sleeping in more prop
erly provided places at home,
nnd that in every caso tho best
bo made of the patients onvior
