The estimates given out by tbe
Reclamation Service show that Ore
gon contributed last year approxi
mately 31,387,413 to the reclama
tion fund, making her total contri
bution to June 31, 1908, 18,167.-
822. For the first time since the
reclamation law passed, Oregon
dropped from first to second place
on the list of contributors, due to
the boom in land sales in North Da
kota. An exhibit of magnificent apple),
the kind raised in this part of the
famous Rogue River Valley, adorn
ed the stage of the opera house oa
Saturday during the meeting of the
Fruit Exchange and on Monday for
the Good Roads Convention. The
stage from side to side was banked
with the beauties, and It Is safe to
say that no finer collection of ap
ples has ever been gotten together
in any place not only in the state
but In the world, for Rogue River
apples signify to the world the best.
A subscription amounting to $50
was taken up this week to defray
the expenses of sending the apple
exhibits to Portland 'and Spokane
for the apple shows there. The ex
hibit will be shipped tomorrow.

Kercher, presidential electors, have
written to the Secretary of State
that they expended nothing for cam
paign expenses, but their letters
were not accompanied by the re
quired affidavit, and likewise could
not be accepted. These are the only
attempts, so far, to comply with the
corrupt practice act, and the legal
time for filing sworn statements has
passed.
