The nomination of LaFollette
nd Wheeler on the Progressive
ticket develops he possibiliiy of
an election condition for which
there id but one parallel in
American Hiitory, the election
of John Quincy Adams in 1S24.
Briefly stated the situation is
this:
There are 48 states with a
total electoral vote of 504.
With three tickets in the field
it may happen that no candidate
has a majority in the Electoral
College. In that event the
election devolves upon the House
of Representatives, and there tne
total number of votes is 48, one
for each state, and a majority is
necessary to a choice.
The vote of a state is determin
ed by the vote of the represents
tion from that state. If the
representation is evenly divided
the result will be a tie and the
state wilt lose its voice in the
election except in the doubtful
event that some member crosses
the party line, or the delegation
breaks the tie by lot
In the present House 23 states
have Republican majorities in
their delegations, 20 states have
Democratic majorities and 5 are
tied. The 5 states having squal
ly divided delegations are
Maryland, Montana, Nebraska,
New Hampshire and New Jersey
Should the Democrats carry
every state now having a Demo
cratic majority in the lower house
the party would have 205 votes
in the Electoral College. If we
add to this the 38 electoral votes
of the 5 states now equally
divided in the House of Repre
sentativs they would have 243
- votes or ten less than a majority.
If the Republicans carry every
state that they now control in
the House, they will have 261
votes or 8 more than a majority
The unknown quantity is La Fol
lette, Does bis strength lie in
Democratic or Republican terri
tory? Will he carry enough
states to destroy the hope of
majority for either major party
candidate or will the progressive
ticket destroy the present polit
ical balance and by a popular
plurality give one or the other
1 great majority in the Electoral
College?
Cigarette Smoker Jailed
The Cascade National Forest
reports that Thos. Casey was
arrested for smoking a cigarette
on a closed area, in violation of
federal regulation. He was
arrainged before the U. S.
Commissioner at Eugene. Report
states that he plead guilty and
was sentenced by the U. S.
District Court at Portland, to
serve 11 days in jail.
Another interesting case re
cently reported was that of a
sheep herder named Holt, in the
employment of J. W. Fisher of
Chanico, who left his camp fire
burning near Olallie mountain,
on the Cascade National Forest.
The fire was discovered by Forest
officers, extinguished, and com
plaint filed against Holt. To
save time and expense of a trip
to Eugene and back, Holt is said
to have plead guilty by .telephone,
received his sentence, and sent
in his check for $15. The case
was handled by Judge Wells, of,
Eugene. Supervisor Macduff of
the Cascade National forest
states that this is the first trial
Dy leiepnone, ana tne nrst case
of a sheepman being careless
with a campfire, on this Forest.

The people of the Northwest
were dismayed Wednesday after
noon, July 23. when they heard
of the disas.er which had
overtaken the great Pacific
International Livestock Expo'si
tion. Its magnificent building in
North Portland, Oregon, caught
fire lrom a burning shingle mill,
and in a half hour was" reduced
to ashes.
This splendid plant, thejlargest
and most conveniently arranged
ana equipped structure of its
i ; j a 1 1 1
n ma mine woria, covered ovtr
ten acres of land. It cost approx
imateiy $oUO,UW. However, it
was insured for about $350,000,
and General! Manager O. M.
Plummer states positively that
the Exposition will be held Nov
1 to 8, inclusive, without fail,
and that already assurances are
coming from every quarter of
the compass of aid and entries
of livestock. He says:
"The Exposition will be bigger
and better than ever. Naturally,
all our plans have not been com
pleted, but we expect to rebuild
and work will be commenced at
once. The Pacific International
Live Stock Exposition is so
solidly founded and so important
an institution that even a great
blow such as this cannot halt its
growth and progress."
The new building which wiil
take the place of the one just
destroyed will follow the same
plan, so admirable did that plan
prove to be. The amphitheater
probably will be made somewhat
larger, but the general construc
tion will be the same as before.
It seems that it cannot be
bettered. Pacific International

Johnny Eubanks had an ex
citing and dangerous experience
last week, when a horse he was
riding bareback ran away with
him. John was trying to round
up another horse on the Halver
son place, when the animal he
was riding nolted, jumped a wire
fence and then after running
some distance, stopped suddenly
on the edge of a steep and rocky
slope. John went on over the
horses head anb when he was
found an hour and a half later
was pretty badly bruised and
skinned up.
Johnny is alright now except for
a cut in his forehead, an injured
finger, a badly swollen elbow
and a bruised hip.
Mr. R. W. Brown who had his
feet badly burned some weeks
ago, has so far recovered that he
has gone to work again.
