Wright, prominent in eastern Oregon affairs for the past 60 years, died at his home In this city at 2 o'clock this morning. Mr. Wright had been slightly ill for several days, but his sudden death was unexpected by his family and a shock to the community.

Oregon's campaign to enroll 140,000 members in the American Rod Cross Is under full swing. Headquarters have been opened In the Morgan building at Portland, In charge of C. C. Chapman, as state chairman and Henry E. Reed as state manager. Organisation has been extended Into every section of the state, and there Is no doubt that Oregon, as usual, will respond generously to the nation's call. The campaign is a nation-wide move ment to increase the membership of the Red Qroiis to 15,000,000, and pro-, vide the United States with a large and effective machine for war relief work. President Wilson has declared himself for a well organised and effi cient Red Cross. He says the best way in which to Impart the greatest energy to the relief work of the war will be to concentrate it in the hands of a single experienced organisation which has been recognised by law and international convention as the public Instrumentality for such purposes. . The energies of the campaign in its national and local aspects will be di rected towards making the Red Cross larger and more powerful. The parti cular purpose of the movement Is to enroll one dollar members. No special emphasis will be placed on other classes of membership, except that where the opportunity li presented the advisability of the 92.00 membership including the Red Cross magaslne will be urged. From the Portland headquarters the command has gone forth that every man and woman in Oregon must Join the Red Cross. The slogan of the campaign is "Join (he Red Cross; all you need a dollar ana a uearv Every member will be expected to wear a Red Cross button on Christmas day. BIG FIRE IN ATTLE80RO. ATTLEBORO, Mass., Dee. 12. Three large business blocks in the center of this city were destroyed by fire and 17 dwellings damaged with ai total loss of 1500,000 early today. The fire was put under ooetrol after aM: A plan Is being considered by Coun ty Clerk Iva M. Harrington to appoint patriotic women of the county as the judges and clerks of election for next two years, with the understand ing that the volunteers for the places will devote their salaries aggregating 18600 at each election, to the Red Cross. -! The appointments will be made In the January term of the county court and If patriotic Red Cross workers will volunteer tor the task and the court sees fit to appoint them, a tidy sum of approximately $2600 can bo turned over to the Red Cross activities at each general or primary election. There are 81 precincts In the county and the average cost for night and day boards is in the neighborhood of $10.00, or $3.00 apiece for three Judges and two clerks for esch shift Of course the proposition la entirely a patriotic one, but Red Cross workers all over the county believe that enough patriotic And responsible women be recruited for the task, so that the full amount of the pay checks can be turned over. Miss Harrington plans to hold the project open during the next week or so before making any recommenda tions for the county election Judges and clerks who are appointed for two year terms. In the meantime the Red Cross workers are to begin a definite 'drive" among their membership to get the required number of volunteers. When asked If she thought the wo men were capable of handling the elec tion Miss Harrington called attention to precincts where women act on the board, and where their work has been neater and better In every way than that of boards handled by men.
