Urging the holding of presidential
primaries whorevor possible. Walter
Houccr, chairman of tho progressive
republican campaign committee,
mailed today a letter to all gover
nors, lieutenant governors and speak- i
era of legislatures throughout tho
country.
HouBcr quotes tho resolutions
adopted'- nt? the--recut progressive
conferenco in Chicago domanding a
direct presidential prcferenco pri
mary In each state.
Ho adds:
"As you have known, thoro is stat
utory provision for presidential
prefcrenco primary In flvo states.
Sorao other states probably will enact
IcgislnMon this winter to provide
such primaries. Where it is not pos
sible to make such provision legally
tiio resolution urges that republican
stato committees prov'do a means
whoreby tho voters will bo given a
right to express their choice of can
didates. "In many states there la legal pro
vision for tho direct nomination of
state officers. Where this is the
case, It will not bo difficult for state
committees to make supplementary
arrangements for tho presidential
primary.
"On behalf of tho progrosslvo re
publican campaign committco, I
wrote you, urging that you take
stops to unable tho republicans of
your stato to directly express tholr
choice for the republican nomination
for president. Do this by law If pos
sible, If not within tho law, do It
by action of your committee.
"It is to bo noted that friends of
Robert M. La Follotto aro ready to
submit his nanio for nomination by
tho.dlrqc.t yoto of tho rank, and file
of tho party."

One occasionally hi an the ques
tion concerning the nationally fa
mous Whitney Brothers quartet
"Are thoy all brotherb?"
As Hill Nye would say: "We are
compelled to answer yes!"
Thoy are brothers. Their father

These four boys in the family were
duly christened upon taalr arrival.
The youngest, Yale, wu born on th
22d day or January. 1814. Tits

roer upon the day or his birth, which,
according lo "Who's Who In the

IRRIGATION
IRRIGATION is the science of giving a plant just as much moisture as it
needs, and just exactly when it needs it.
IRRIGATION has added more wealth to tho country in (ho last ton years than
any three of tho largest resources combined. Thousands of acres of worthless
land have been reclaimed and some of this land haa.sold for tho highest prices
ever paid for horticultural or agricultural land.
IRRIGATION will reclaim "tho desert," (iBOO acres will bo developed into a
vast orchard district. "Tho desert" when irrigated will prove to bo tho
best orchard land in the Rogue River Valley.
IRRIGATION will make tho Rogue River Valley famous for its berries. The
largest yields in the next few years will come from "the dosori
it
IRRIGATION will add thousands of acres to tbe producing area of the Roguo
River Valley, and in these new districts there will bono crop failure, for irriga
tion is a guarantee of bountiful yields, and is -real crop insurance for tho
grower.
IRRIGATION in the Willamette Valley has increased production from sixty
to three hundred per cent. Tt will do the sumo in the Roguo River Valloy.
IRRIGATION will double tho population of Modl'drd awd Hie Rogue River
Valley in tho next few years. New homes will bo established. Orchards will
be planted on lands that hnvo never been productive. "Tho desert" will bo
redeemed and a thousand families will be adde(l through this dovoldpment.
