Po>nde«ter C«m s Washington B<g Majorities. by Seattle, Sept. 14. — Insurgency swept the state of Washington yester day like a tidal wave. Poindexter is believed to have carried nearly every county in the state, with the ¡mssible exception of Pierce. Late returns indicate that Warbur ton, insurgent, has carried the Second congressional district by a gixd plural ity over McCredie, incumbenL Humphrey has been defeated in the First district, and William I.a Fol lette, of Pullman, a cousin of Senator La Foll.tte and an insurgent, has been elect«! to succeed Poindexter. The vote of King county, with 47,- 000 voters registered, wsa probably only 30,000, and Poindexter's plurality in inc cuuniy is vvtiuiaU-d ■t u, uvô. Poindexter carried Judge Burke's own preincct. Incomplete returns from 30 polling places in Pierce county and Taruma give Burke 41, I’-undsltcr 1,3.>. and At thin rate Pierce Ashton 1,336. county will give Ashton a small major ity. Twenty-six precincts, city and coun ty. in Pierce county, give McCredie 33», Claypool 33H and Warburton 1,- 333. Poindexter's plurality in Whatcom county is estimated at 2.000.

Corvallis The poultry department of the Oregon Agricultural college, un der Prof. James Dryden, ia organising a poultry raising contest for the boys and girls of Eugene, in co-operation with the Young Men's Christian asso ciation here. Some 50 entries have Iwn made. The college offers 3200 in ca«h prises. At the college ten acres of Ian I are given over entirely to the poultry husbandry department, which has now about 2,000 chickens. There are 20 colony brooder coops and 14 colony lay ing houses, beside the Incubator house, containing 14 incubators of six dif ferent makes, and the brooder house. The work of the department is largely that of proving the laying qualities of the principal varieties, including Ply mouth Rocks. Ixghorns, and enwsea of these two breeds. In a recent letter from SL Peters burg, Russia, Prof. Dryden waa as sured by one of the government lec turers on poultry raising there that the O. A.
