Johnson, Manager Athena, Oregon Tbe result of one of tbe hottest politioal campaigns ever waged iu Oregon gives to the state Oswald West, demoorat, for governor. He is returned viotor over Jay Bower- man, republioan assembly oandidateyf West gave Bowerman a close raoe m I Portland and Eastern Oregon, and led bis opponent in Southern Oregon, where the people' rewarded him for bis work in bringing tbe Southern Paoiflo freight rates down to a reason able basis. Of bis eleotion, Mr., West Bays in a tetter of appreciation to the newspapers of tbe state: "My election Is not a personal vic tory fot me, but a triumph of the direct primary, Statement One and rule - by tbe people. Thousand of Republioan votes were given to me on this issue and as a protest against assembly ism. Along with my publio reoord, I made opposition to the as sembly and to corporation domination in politics, the chief issues in my cam paign. Tbe indorsement that tbe peo ple have given me is their seal of ap proval of the things I stood far and stand tor. I thank them and all my friends for it, and assure them that so far as iu my power lies they, will not have cause to regret tbe oboioe they have made, "To tbe newspapers of tho state wbose loyal support was given me, I am deeply grateful. Oregon is a splen did commonwealth., Its system of government is an inspiration to tbe oountry, and one of tbe state's great est publio assets. To overthrow or mutilate that system would, in my judgment, be a crime, net only agatnBt uregoo, anq its people, cut against the people of tle whole oonqtry. It is, n svsteiu that is progress, that U gnv- ernrneut ny conscience in public ai faira and that should stand unharm ed and unchanged. "As governor I shall not be the rep resentative of any class, taction or clique but shall be the publio servant and active agent qj a,) tbe people and ghall Jq'cA-eperation with all our cit izens, work for a developed, a greater and a united Oregon.

Main Street Building Being Put Shape for Gymnasium. U , The Athena. BigaBohopl is consid erably interested in" a'thletioa this year and tbe old Fair Store building en Main street has been secured for basket ball practioe and games. Those baviug tbe matter incharge nope io seo ore runas to put m a snow er bath. Already a neat sum of money has been seoured through popular sub scription wbtoo will be used to start tbe basket ball sqnad in an easy path financially. The building that baa been seoured could be devoted to a first class gym nasium with but little rearrangement. There is ample room for all apparatus needed iu gymnast io work, and if tbe young men of the town can be prevail ed upon to co-operate with the High sohool students,' the opportuinty is at hand to secure a creditable institution of this character for Athena. The eobool .is now possessed of a considerable quantity of gymnastic appuanoes and a lew dollars more ex pended judiciously would seoure a splendid atbletio institution, tbe ad vantages of wbioh wonld be of great benefit to tbe membership.

Sbelton, both well known young people of that com munity, was solemnized Sunday after noon at 5 p. mM Rev. E. M; Clingan, pastor of the First Presbyterian ohnroh officiating, using tbe ring oer emony. Only the immediate friends and relatives of tbe bride and groom were present, and tbe house was deo orated in autumn leaves and flowers. Tbe bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Angus MoKay, and a half sioter of Wm.Winship and Mrs. W. J. Gbol- son, of this oity, while tbe groom is a well known young man of Walla Walla. ' ' Poultry Show at Pendleton. Pendleton will have a big poultry show lasting one full week commeno ing Deoember 13. Tbe poultry exhib ition is now a permanent feature for Pendleton, it having recently been incorporated nnder the name of the Umatilla-Morrow County Poultry As sooiation. Last year a exhibit was declared to be tbe most successful "first show"ever held in the North west and hereafter tbere promises to be a splendid colleotioo of poultry on view at eaob annual exhibition. Pens have neeo arranged so that over 1,000 fowls can properly be housed at tbe approaching show. New Merchant Possible, One week from tomorrow the Ath ena Department Store owned by Jesse G. Campbell will discontinue busi ness and unless tbe remaining stock is sold, it will be shipped to Oakes dale, Wash. But tbere is a possibil ity that it will te disposed of to a par ty who is negotiating for the purchase of the store. The name of the person is not given out ty tbe Department Store people, but be is aaid to have formerly conducted a mercantile bus iness at Union, Oregon. ' Not only will the demoorats control the sixty seoond congress but tboy will have a substantial working majority, will eleot their own speaker and gen erally control the house. They gained forty soats in congress while repub licans gained three, giving the demo orats a net gain of 37. There was a demooratio landslide tbe whole ooun- , try over. Tbe United States senate will prob ably have a reduced rebpublioan ma jority as a result, of legislative elec tions held in many states. Iu New York, John A. Dix, demo oratio oandidate for governor, is elected over Henry L. Stimson, re publioan, by 42,487 reversing the republioan plurality of 70,000 in 1908 for Governor Hughes. Tbe returns give the demoorats a majority of 26 in the legislature insuring a demooratio successor to Senator Depew. ' In New Jersey. Woodrow Wilson, demooratio for governor, is elected over Vivian M. Lewis, republican, by about 15,000, reversing tbe previous republioan plurality of 8,000 for Gov ernor Fort. In Massaohusetts, Eugene N. Foes, demoorat, has defeated Governor Ebeu S. Draper, republioan, for re-election . by about 80.000, reversing Governor Draper's former plurality of 800.0. in uonneotiout Judge Baldwin, dem oorat is eleoted governot over Charles . A. Goodwin republioan by about 4000 reversing tbe previous republican plu rality of 16.000. In New Hampshire, Robert P. Bass, republioan oandidate for governor, is ' leading C. E. Carr, demoorat, by ahout 6J)00. In Pennsylvania tbe election of John R. Tener republioan for governor is claimed by a large plurality. In Rhode Island Governor Pothier republican, is eleoted by a plurality of 1200. In Tennessee, tbe fusion oandidate, Ben. Hooper, is apparently eleoted by 16,000. Demooratio governors have been eleoted in Alabama and South Caro lina. In Iowa the demoorats claim tbe eleotion of Claude R. Porter for gov ernor, but this is not yet conceded. In Wisconsin tbe eleotion of , the re- publionn oandidate for governor, Frauds E. MoGovern, is claimed by a reduced majority and the return of Senator LaFolletfa to the United StateB senate is assured. In Miobigan, Charles S. Osborne, republican oandidate for governor ap pears to have a safe lead over bis opponent. "Hogs Is Hogs," Wood, of the Weston Leader, is wiso on hogs. He says: figs are pigs, and bogs are bogs, and fat bogs mean purses. It 1b regrettable that more of our farmers do not reoognize this fact. Tbe few who have gone in to bog-raising in a systematic man ner find tbat they oan always realize a better prioe for their wheat by feed ing it to good hogs than by selling it at the market prioe. Tbe Leader hears tbis week of the experience of R. E. Stewart, who bought a brood bow last Deoember, weighing 190 pounds. Tbis year the sow raised nine pigs . Last Friday tbe mother weighed 606 pounds and was bought by Will Jamieem for nine oeota a pound. He taid nine and a half cents for four pigs weighing 1030 pounds and Mr. Stewart realized a total of 1148.80 in cold oasb. He has five pigs left, and these represent "clear velvet." Raise more hogs friends, and subsoribe for tbe Weston Leader, wbose agricultural editor is always ready with sage advice. (Pot the aage in your sausages.) Banker Repairs Losses. Seventeen years ago tbe Walla Wal la Savings Bank failed and the depos itors did not receive a cent. Saturday John Sbarpstoin of that oity, who was oounsel for tbe president of the bank, reoeived a check for 12000 from J. K. Eduiiston, tho president, to apply ou these debts. Edmunon, after four trials, was oonvioted of reoeiviog money when he knew tbe bank was Insolvent and sentenced to a year in prison. Released on ball while await ing another trial, he disappeared. a Only nnoe was he beard . from, wben he sent money from Egpyt to pay bills in Walla Walla. He intends, it is said, to pay tbe depositors in full. Lv, Aged Man Injured. George Beotley, ah aged resident of Adams, was seriously injured in tbat town Saturday in a runaway accident He was thrown from the wagon and one wheel passed over him, breaking bis collar bone and several ribs Oregon. , "Tbe Last Call of the West" by Walter V.
