Wood Visits on Campaign Before becoming one of Port land's leading general practition ers, Dr. Joseph F. Wood practiced medicine for 12 years at Condon He became acquainted with many Morrow county folk at that time. and when in the city Tuesday eve ning in the interests of his candi dacy for democratic sational com mitteeman, said it felt just like getting back home. Dr. Wood was accompanied by Hal Moore, Oregonian political writer, and Bob Wiley, young dem ocrat, as chauffeur. The doctor said this is his first experience as a political candidate and he ad mitted unfamiliarity with the cam paigning technique. The plunge in to politics at this time was not a studied matter, but came only af ter insistence of many friends. His slogan is "For Roosevelt, Oregon Patronage for Oregonians and a militant Democracy; unselfish service." ture in other wheat areas as in the Pacific Northwest. 'Past experience has conclusive ly proved, that regardless of deficit production year nationally, the Pacific Northwest area is con stantly faced with an exportable surplus. It is far removed from the large domestic grain consuming centers, with a freight rate of 33c to 42c per bushel prevailing. Con- squently, this area, which produces annually from one-tenth to one seventh of the nation's wheat, has devastating effect on the price paid the farmer.

Construction of the first unit of the new air-line highway between Salem and Portland will be under taken this summer. The new route will leave the present Pacific high way midway between Hubbard and Aurora, cross the Willamette river just east of Wilsonville and tie-in with the west side Pacific highway just east of Tigard, entering Port land over the Fourth street boule vard.

Reports on voter registrations now being compiled by the state de partment show material gains by the Democrats in nearly every coun ty with corresponding losses by the Republicans. Total registrations in all counties show an increase over those of two years ago due in part to increased Interest in politics dur- ing a presidential campaign year and In part to the normal increase in population. Printing of the official voters' pamphlets is now under way. Elec tion officials In the state department estimate that It will require approx imately 440,000 pamphlets to supply the voters in Oregon this year.
