MORROW COVXTY OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday. November 5, 1914. ELECTION SURPRISES. The election just passed carries with it some surprises. Four more states have been added to the "dry" column. These are Oregon, Wash ington, Colorado and Arizona. This is according to reports received up to the time of going to press. The ma jority for prohibition in this state will reach 30,000, and may go even beyond this figure if the present ratio of gain is kept up. Toward the close of the campaign it was conceded that the amendment would pass but no one hardly had the nerve to make a claim that the majority would reach anything like this . figure. This is one surprise, and indeed a pleasant one to the friends of prohibition. Our own county of Morrow did its part to help out this great vote and boosted the amendment by a majority of 512. All other measures, with one excep tion, are badly beaten. The eight hour law amendments are buried out of sight, and it is to be hoped they will never be resurrected again. Another cf the great surprises of the election is the tremendous plu rality of Senator Chamberlain over Mr. Booth. It will reach about 20, 000 according to present indications. This is certainly a great disappoint ment to the republicans as they felt that in Mr. Booth they had put for ward one of the best men that had ever aspired to this high office., It is not hard, perhaps, to accunt for the defeat of Mr. Booth. , Mr. Cham berlain is a popular man and he had lined up behind him all the forces of the administration; this was not easy to overcome; he has also made a reasonably good record as a senator and has been diligent in the construc tion of strong political alliances, and these forces got in their work in good shape. On the other hand, there was the malignant vilification and persist ant misrepresentation and abuse of Mr. Booth by leading newspapers of the state that had the effect of les sening his strength and caused many to desert him that should have given him support. The Hanley vote also drew largely from Booth and lent strength to the Chamberlain forces While congratulations are due to the democratic party for the success they have achieved in re-electing Mr Chamberlain, some of the methods used in bringing this about cannot be spoken of in very complimentary terms. Dr. Withycombe has won by the largest vote ever given a candidate for the office of governor. This is cause for some rejoicing in the re publican camp and is just recogni tion of the worth of the man. He has been a constructive builder in the material affairs of this state and he will be an honor to the office. The entire state ticket is republican, and there was no doubt expressed at any time there would be any other result. When it came down to the final struggle, everything was laid aside by the democrats and all other can didates were forgotten in a very large measure that the Segator might be sure to win and retain his job at Washington, and the result shows what can be accomplished through the power of concentration. Throughout the nation the repub licans have made large gains and have retaken many of the seats lost in the past few years to the demo crats in the national congress. A QUESTION OF FUTURE PRESTIGE. Although the "Made in America" movement started in New York and the minifestatlon of its chief activ ity is there, it should appeal to the people of this coast at strongly as it unquestionably will to the people of the East. It is a movement that puts patriotism into practical con duct; and In the circumstances, no charge of provincialism can be laid against it. The suggestion is made that the slogan would be improved if it were changed to "Made in U. S. A."; and we admit that we like it. It is more forceful and expresses more nearly what we mean, namely, that the good? we will buy shall be made by Uncle Sara. Everything from this northern continent of the West is American; but the U. S. A. is dis tinctive. Whatever the form of expression mav be the idea holds good and if it takes hold upon us in grippig fus ion it will mean the future prestige of this country in industry and com merce. It will mean that we are first looking after the best markets in the world; that we are establishing tue best policy of protection to Ameri can industries ever devised. The women of the country can make this movement a success if they shall choose to do so. In fact their aid is more potent to that end than any other one factor. If they shall decide that the American material is good enough for them, and that un der existing conditions they will buy none which does not bear the stamp of American manufacture, if they do this in such a way that it becomes the feminine habit, the American manufacturer will never need to worry about a market. He will And work to do and employment for la bor; and as there will be larger de mand for "Made in America" goods, there will be more money in circu lation with which to buy them. This movement stands on patriot ism and good sense and the promise cf it is future prestige. Portland Telegram. CO-OPERATIVE FARMING. In this age of co-operation, in which manufacturing and commercial interests have attained wonderful de velopment and success by merging their resources, it is not to be won dered at that co-operation has slow ly but inevitably wended its way intc rural life. The old method of in dividualism is gradually giving way to the co-operative spirit and the re suit is a greatly reduced cost of liv ing and lessened expense of farming Oregon farmers are leading thr co-operative movement and it is grad ually being extended into every fea ture of community life. According to recent estimates ol tho Department of Agriculture a' Washington, Oregon farmers pro duced 1,716,000 tons of tame or cul tivated hay during 1914. The yield last year was 1,732,000 tons. The product is selling for an average of $9.00 per ton, compared with $8.40 per ton in 1913. The yield per acre this season is 2 tons and the quality is two per cent better than the aver age crop of the past ten years. AMERICAN HORSES IN BATTLE. The American horse is one of the first to answer, the bugle call o the European war. Representative's oi many, foreign governments are in this country purchasing horses for the various armies of the warring na tions and practically every state in the Union is contributing cavalrj; material to the telligerent factions. The American horse is a utility an imal and excels Jhat of any other country on the face of the earth. He has plowed our fields, fought ou; battles and is the most . faithful of animal kind. His reputation has ex tended to other countries and lie If now going to perform the service? for foreign countries which he has- so faithfully fufilled at home. Dairy Vote on Offices.

We have some freak laws right at home as well as the state at large. Pluntign Trees! The early settlers in Nebraska and Kansas found those states treeless and almost rainless. The scant show ers which gave crops ,one season were denied the next year and the seed perished in tho ground. Clouds of grashoppers devoured what the bad seasons had spared. It seemed as if the old geographers were right when they included both Kansas and Nebraska in "the great American desert," But they were wrong. Persistent cultivation has so changed the con ditions In both states that crops are now as certain as anywhere else. The grasshoppers are no longer a burden and it is said by many that the rain fall has actually increased. It is more likely, however, that cultivation has caused the earth to retain mois ture so much better that a dry sea son is not as harmful as of old. Tree-planting has proceeded rapid ly threugh all the trans-Missouri re gion. The farmers began by planting windbreaks, timidly hdping that they would" survive. They did survive and grew so thriftily that today great plantings of timber may be found where forty years ago not a tree could be seen. Planting forest trees is a duty which ought to be attended to every where. Oregon has plenty of ever green timber, but only a little hard wood. Nut trees are particularly scarce. The practice of planting wal nuts, pecans, filberts and hickories in corners, along fencea and evert in sol id patches will greatly increase the returns from farms in the course of time and make the state a more agreeable dwelling place for coming generations. RESUME GF OPERATIONS TORN EUROPE SINGE NATIONS FIRST BEGAN THEIR STRUGGLE October in the War. There are now ten nations at war the tenth being Turkey, which en tered the conflict informally by bom barding Thcodosia in the Crimea and Odessa, October 30. The greatest German success on land was the capture of Antwerp, the last haven of the Belgian army, Octo ber 9, after a 10-day siege. The forts wore battered to bits by the enormous guns of the Austrians. Severe repulses have met tho Gor man armies both in tho East and West. Constant attempts at flank movements by the armies along the Aisno strotched the battle lines to the coa3t of the North Sea, with the Ger man right resting on Ostend. The big guns cf the English fleet were brought in to holp out the attacks on this port. October 1 the severest fighting on the German right was at Albert. The advance of the allies reached Arras the next day. The last day of the month the al lies reported that the way to Bruges in Belgium was laid open by their capture of Roulers and that the Ger mans were hastily digging trenches back to Ghent to prepare for falling back. The battle line irom tho sea to the Swiss border is 350 miles long. Ru ssians repulsed the Germans in their attempt to cross the River Nie men, October 1.

Eighty South African rebels stop 200,000 Germans according to the Russian figures. , I The navies of tho warring nations have patiently been picking away at the coast of Holland. Germans ad cach other. Since the war began vance to Ostend. Allies reported Germany has lost 18 fighting ships standing firm from Arniontieres to and England 11. There have been the North Sea. no important sea engagements. I October 18 The Belgian army During the month stragglers from concentrates along a line from Nieu flcets and patrol ships have been sent port to the French border, and re- to the bottom one by one. The moat spectacular feat was performed by the Emden, the German "sea wolf," : which slipped into Penang harbor October 29. She was disguised by a "fake" funnel and a Jap flag. Before tho deception was discovered, the Emden sank the Russian cruiser Jemtchug and a French destroyer. Tim battle of the Aisne becan Sep tember 15, when the German right wing, falling back from Paris, took up its entrenched position along the river. It is the greatest battle the world has ever seen. The men en gaged are several millions. It has raged for 46 days. While the allies report that tho falling back of the German right wing means that their superior numbers have at last won, the magnificent army of the Kaiser has saved itself from possible disas ter. The Japs continue their work of trying to dig out the Germans at Tsing Tau, the Gorman base in China. They are helped by a big Jap fleet. On land the Japanese army has been reinforced bv English troops. The German garrison has successfully declined to be dug out, though it is outnumbered many times over. Here are the decisive dates since the war began: June 28 Archduke Francis Ferdi nand of Austria and his wife assas sinated, July 28 Austria declares war on Servia after announcing that the lat ter's reply to an ultimatum was not satisfactory.

September6 The allies check the German advance, which has passed to the east and south of Paris, and begin forcing back the invaders. September 29 Germans begin bombarding Antwerp. Important Dates During October. October lJ-There is severe fight ing on the German right at Albert; Russians drive- back Germans, who attempt to pass over the Neimen.

October 13 Revolt breaks out in the northwest part of the Britlsn col ony in the African Cape Province. : The rebellion is led by Colonel Solo mon G. Maritz, a former Boer officer. Germans advance on Warsaw and are reported to have occupied all Rus sian Poland west of that city. Fivo Austrian generals are retired. October 14 Tho allies occupy Yprcs. Portugal mobllzes troops preparing to place them at the dis- posal of Great Britain. captured by Government troops. October 17 Four German do- stroyers sunk by English cruiser oft pulses German attacks. Monday, October 19 British war- ships assist the allies fighting along the coast between Dixraunda and Nieuport. Japanese cruiser laKacm- cho sunk in Klao-chow bay. October 20 British submarine E 9, new from tho yards, sunk by Ger man cruiser in North Sea. October 21 Relations between (Turkey and Russia are strained to the breaking point. At last a job is found for the Hague Tribunal Austria and Italy agree to refer their dispute over mines to that court. October 22 Russians report that the Germans have been repulsed in their attacks on Warsaw and U.nt the Russians are driving the enemy before them. , October 23 Russians report ab solute and crushing defeat of the! German army that attacked Warsaw October 26 Petrograd reporti that the Germans evacuate Lodz and continue their retirement which is characterized as "precipitate flight." General von Moltke has been reliev ed as German Chief of Staff, his place being taken by General von Falken- ' hayn. Illness of the former chief is given as the reason. October 28 The omnipresent Em den sinks a small Jap steamer. October 29 England Is training an army of 1,500,000 men, of which 600,000 are territorials and already used to handling arms, The English army now in Europe is described as a mere advance guard of what is to follow. British destroyers sink a German converted destroyer in the Adriatic. The Emden again, flying a Japanese flag and disguised by the addition of a false funnel, creeps in to Penang harbor, a British poses sion, sinks the Russian cruiser Jem tchug, Bends a French destroyer to the bottom and gets away undam aged. October 30 Turkey enters the war, making it a struggle of 10 na tions. There is every likelihood now that Bulgaria, Greece, Roumania, and Portugal will enter the conflict on the side of the allies. The Turks neglect to make a declaration of war. Instead their warships sweep the Black Sea, sinking two Russian mer chant ships. A fleet bombards Theo dosia in the Crimea and enters the port of Odessa. There they sink a small Russian gunboat and damage a French liner. October 31 British cruiser Her mes is caught away from the flock, off Dunkirk and sent to the bottom by a busy German submarine. The Hermes was an old-timer and her loss is not much of a blow. But the fact of her sinking makes England ner vous just the same. It means that the Germans have succeeded in ship ping submarines across country piece by piece and assembling them again on the North Sea. While the main English fleet bottles up the Germans off Heligoland, these dangerous little invisibles can continue successes against the British. Turkey an nounces the annexation of Egypt and starts an invasion. The allies declare that Germans are defeated, and order a general advance.
