Haines Leads for Governor By 4000 — Local Issues Rule. Portland, Me.— Maine turned back to the Republican party in the state election, William T. Haines, o f Wa- terville, being elected governor over Governor Plaisted, his Democratic op ponent, who sought a second term, while the Republicans regained one of the two congressional districts lost to the Democrats two years ago. The new legislature is expected to have a smail Republican majority, al though returns before midnight were not sufficient to show whether Edwin C. Burleigh, ex-prepresentative in congress. Republican, or Senator Gardner, Democrat, will be chosen to the United States senate. Returns for governor from all but 37 small towns g iv e : Haines, Repub lican, 69,616; Plaisted, Democrat, 66,162. The missing towns in 1910 gave: Republicans, 1167; Democrat, 994. Haines’ plurality is estimated at 3840. These returns show a Republican gain of 9 per cent and a Democratic loss o f 8 per cent. Blistering heat continues from the C O LO RAD O VO TE LIG H T.

Italians Resant Being Given Away.

The agitation was initiated by dele gates from the islands and by Greek emissaries and is receiving the sup port o f the Socialists and other ex tremists. The agitators maintain that it would be dishonorable in Italy to conclude peace by giving up the Aegean islands on grounds that Italy wants the l.abya region o f Africa. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE BiGGER FAIR URGED. KOAD NEARS END. J. H. Booth Proposes State Show to Grading Is Finished and Rails Laid Cost SI.OOO.OOO. Most o f W .y to Friend. Salem— A $1,000,000 state fair is the plan that J. H. Booth, o f Rose- burg, president o f the Oregon State Board o f Agriculture, hopes to see worked out. He believes that at least $1,000,000 should be appropriated by the legislature, not all at once, how ever, and that some definite plan be adopted for the permanent upbuilding o f the fair. “ The university and agricultural college and other state institutions are given appropriations almost without stin t," said Mr. Booth. “ While prob ably they need the money and deserve it, 1 believe that there is no greater educational factor in the state than the state fair. This is essentially an agricultural state. Any move which tends toward developing the state’s agricultural interests to the highest point o f efficiency is, financially and in every other way, an upbuilding factor in the state’s progress. ‘ By setting out a definite plan for the state fair grounds and obtaining stated amounts biennially to be used toward working out that plan, the state fair could be developed into one o f the most magnificent features of the state, that would repay the money expended in many ways. “ Upon the nucleus which we have we could build up tc the final attain ment of the scheme for a great fair. Every improvement which is put in the grounds should be a permanent one. “ There should be good walks, good buildings, a cattle judging arena elec trically lighted, so that judging could be done at night. The difficulties that we have encountered this year with the rains should be obviated by all permanent covered buildings. We hope to have a permanent pavilion constructed with the $50,000 which the last legislature appropriated, and which, we trust, will be given us by the next legislature overriding the governor’s veto. “ The fair should be placed in a po sition where it will be able to handle the crowds whether the weather is wet or dry, a place provided where agricultural lectures can be given daily for the farmers, and the entire show given over to the agricultural interests. The agricultural and stock displays at the fair I place first, and the amusements last. The fair is for educational purposes, and it is toward that end we are constantly strivin g." COVE CHERRIES S T IL L RIPE. C. M. Stackland Thinks Oregon la Ideally Located. Portland— Although the bulk o f the cherry crop in Cove district has long since been gathered and marketed, cherries are still ripe in that section. C. M. Stackland, of Cove, was in Port land, Saturday, and brought to the Commercial club samples o f Bing and Royal Anne cherries he had picked from his own orchard, which are in perfect condition. Mr. Stackland is a member o f the firm o f Stackland Bros., one o f the largest fruitgrowing concerns of the Cove district. Mr. Stackland had some interesting figures to offer concerning this year’s cherry crop. From 227 trees, growing on two acres, he sold 13 tons of Royal Anne cherries to a cannery for $ 1000 . “ That the community may well en courage the fruitgrow er,” says Mr. Stackland, “ is indicated in the wages paid to workers in the Cove cherry or chards. My brother and I picked 16,- 000 gallons o f cherries from eight acres, and the picking and packing cost $997.03. This means that $126 an acre was paid for labor in harvest ing the crop, which shows that the re turns from the cherry crop are widely distributed throuhout the country. “ Although Cove is one o f the best- known cherry districts in the state, I believe that there are great areas in Oregon, now lying idle, thnt could be cultivated and made to produce fruit just as good." Steel Bridges in Umatilla. Pendleton — Umatilla county has more steel bridges than any other county in Oregon, according to C. II. Martin, the civil engineer employed by the county recently to construct permanent highways and bridges throughout the county. Every bridge built in the county during the last six years has been o f steel and at the present time 12 o f these structures are in course o f construction. Two of the new bridges are to replace wooden ones carried out by the Butter creek cloudburst. Hops at Eugene Are Prime, Eugene— Hoppicking began in a number o f yards near Eugene and Springfield, the growers taking ad vantage o f the slack o f rain to get in as much work as possible while the clusters are in prime condition, fear ing more rain. Yards about Irving began picking also. As yet the rains have not done much damage to the hops in Lane county, and the quality, according to J. W. Seavey, is prime. No lice have appeared and growers have sprayed their hops, so that there is little chance o f mold. Idaho Women Plan Bolt.

I They spent a long time over tbe slm pie meal, enjoying themselves com pletely. But at last they sank into ; thoughtful silence, which Stanton w&i the first to break. " I saw that Miss Floyd's arm was hurt, the other evening. I hope It li better.” Floyd raised his head, starting so violently as to overturn the goblet ol water beside him. “ What do you mean?" he exclaimed sharply. "What do you mean? Her arm?” The shattering of glass and the con sequent flood brought their waiter on a run, but Floyd did not even glance down at the wreck, his eyes upon Stanton; who returned the gaxa in ut ter amazement "What do I mean? I say that your sister's bracelet slipped off and scratched her arm, the night we went to the play, and I asked you If she were well. What Is the matter with you?” Floyd pushed back his chair to per mit the waiter's ministrations, his lashes falling. “ You gave me a turn,” he exclaimed, with hurried tightness. “ I wondered if Jessica had hurt herself and not told me. W e’ve only got each other, and we are twins—I suppose we are silly about each other, in fact I re member, now, that she did have a scratch on her arm; I blamed it on the kitten.” He was still pale, and paid the check without looking at his compan ion. “ Your nerves are out,” Stanton frankly commented, contemplating him with curiosity. “ One would think it was you who were Just over the ar rest You’ll have to get In form be fore we strike a race-track.” “ Don't you worry," besought Floyd, bis gaiety and color rushing back to gether. “ I ’ll take some smelling-salti with me In case I feel faint when yoq commence to speed up.” Outside the two paused.

We always start a few days' ahead of you, of course.” “ Better shake hands, then,” advised Stanton. They did so, and separated. At five minutes past nine, that even lng, the Chicago special pulled out ol New York. Ten minutes later a hand was laid on Floyd’s shoulder, as he sat gazing out the window at the fly ing darkness and brightness that waa the outskirts of the city. "Do you want to talk, or shall I go back to my own section in the next car?” Stanton inquired. His mechanician turned swiftly. In credulously. "Stanton?
