The Republican National conven tion next year will have 993 delegates with 497 votes necessary to ohoioe. Tbe Sooth will send 833 of tbs total number. Occasionally a "half advertised" tore enjoys a little more than "half prosperity." And about half the tores are advertised about half enough. A Massachusetts judge thinks a man is entitled to a divorce if his wife searches his pockets. Awomau re duced to this extremity seldom finds anything of value, so the punishment fits the crime withoatjudiclal interference. If ever the wrangle. over ths se lection of some 'unbiased attorney to prosecute the rest of the alleged land fraudista stops, we may possibly expect something to be done. Bat, if this thing keeps up veryniach longer the whole matter will have become mora like paid history.

ICth, 1907. fTherelisuniversal interest all over the State in the meeting of the Ore gon Press Association, which convenes in this city on January 17th and 18th. Upon several different occasions there were between 600 and TOO peope in attendance upon the Dairy Conven tion and exhibit at one time, and from the moment that President Judd called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock, Thursday morning until it closed at 6 o'clock Friday afternoon, the inter eat never flagged. Hon. B. D. White, the dairy expert with the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, who has participated in dairy; conven tiona in all of the older states, said that be had never attended a better convention. The program was full of interest it was a school of informs tion and instruction, and facts were presented and views exchanged and actual results shown, which will be of tremendous value to all those en gaged in the industry or contemplat ing a participation in it. The sub stantial character of the gathering was shown when the chair requested those actually milking cows com merclally to stand 75 per cent of the audience rose, and when a vote was asked to show what proportion of these were testings milk with the idea of keeping their herds up to tbe highest standard, at least three fourths of the milkers rose a second time, a striking evidence of modern methods. Ths proceedings in fall will be printed in book form just as soon as the stenographers, photographers and printers oaa get their material in shape. Prof. F. I. Kent of the Ore gon Agricultural College at Corvallia was made President, and W. L. Crisay of tbe Portland Commercial Club Se cretary. Tbe campaign in behalf of the next convention will begin im mediately for it is determined that that convention, like the one iuat held, will be the most Important and benefloial gathering of any held daring the year 1908. The exhibits were magnificent, equaling those at the international show. The whole state was repre sented. Tbe convention was a tre mendous success, and tbe men Inter ested in dairying have determined that the products of thit great indus try will add at least $30,000,000 to the wealth of Oregon In 1908. 204 people personally paid their dues while in attendance, the greatest pre vious record being 84, and before the next session of the Association is convened the rolls will contain to sxoceed 800 members. The Thanksgiving Proclamation is sued by the Portland Commrcial Club giving the shipments of grain and flour from this State and Washington, was printed in full by many of the greatest papers in the United States, The New York Journal of Commerce, the leading financial paper in the country, giving it special prominence. Thirty-five vessels are loading whett and flour in Portland's harbor, a greater tonnage thau was ever before known.
