MTTl.K ROCK, Ark., July 23.
Arkansas is today holding n special
election to dcct n governor to servo
Uio unexpired term of Governor Joo
T. Robinson, recently elected United
States senator. Judge George W.
llnys of Camden is tlio democratic
llomlneo niul his election was gen or
ally conceded aa Arkansas Is strong
ly democratic. Harry II. Myers Is
Uio republican nominee and George
V. Murphy, former attorney general
and democratic leader. Is Uio pro-
grcsslvo candidate.
Today's election brings to an end
ono of Uio most remarkable political
periods In Uio history of Uio state.
In tho last six months Arkansas has
had flvo I'liltcd States senators and
four governors. Tho death of Unit
ed States Senator Jeff DAtIs last
January caused It nil. J. N. Hciskell
was appointed by Governor Donng
hoy to succeed Davis. V. M. Kav
annugh was then elected by the leg
islature to serve out tho unexpired
term of Davis and finally Joe T.
Robinson, who had Just been oletod
governor and had entered upon his
term of office was clctcd United
States senator for the six year term
Davis had been tho primary nomi
nee to succeed himself and his death
left tho assembly freo to act.
RECORDS of (ho Growers' association at Hood "Rivoi;
show that 105) carloads of strawberries wore shipped
from Hood "River this spring, and twelve carloads of cher
ries, all of which realized good prices.
Records of t eliRnllatup Co-operative Exchange show
hundreds of carloads of berries, principally logan berries,
profitably handled, mostly canned or dried. So do the
books of the Cqi'vallis and numerous other fruit associa
tions.
Records of tho "Puyallup Co-operative Exchange show
loads of berries or cherries shipped, scarcely enough raised
to supply local demands, and yet the valley is admirably
equipped by nature for berry culture and as fine fruit
raised here as anywhere on the globe..
Rerries are one of many crops local producers are ne
glecting, to their own and the country's loss. ' There are
ahout 7UUU acres of so-called desert, land, on which any kind
of a berry yields abundantly, which is supplied by "water
and yet which is untouched.
The resources and possibilities of the valley will never
bo realized until this land and other land is under profit
able cultivation. Any crop must be raised in quantity M
mako its marketing possible and profitable and the land
aim water are here in any quantity.
HOMEPARTICIPATION
IN FOREST CtyiL
Herry culture means work and there are too many
people hero who don't like work or rather it is so easy
to make a living that they won't work more than thev
have towhich is mighty little. The vcxt of the f iim tlmv
loat, talk hard times and euss the country in village fash
ion.
The valley needs a colony of Italian-Swiss or other peo
ple who are not afraid of labor to make neglected regions
bloom with the flower of industrv that fruits into prosperity.

"An Unnamed Topic"
SHOWN IN MOVIES
PAWS, July 2.'1. Parliamentary
lifo in Paris is to lie shown on tlio
"movies" ns tho result ot successful
negotiations between n lending firm
of film makers nutl the French gov
ernment. Permission was todny of
ficially given for tlio Inking of ft
f?eiios of piofures hliowing tlio vnr
iitiis stages of debates in (Bo Cham
ber of Deputies and tho Senate, mid
tho'U'gMalors displayed much nnxicty
to figure on tlio films. Tho pictures
hIiow thu empty benches in tho morn
ings, the nrriva1 of the legislators, a
Onxuii or so deputies, discussing lnws
rtffecliug the whole of France, tbu
Holemn nrrivnl of tlio president, lifo
in tlio lobbies, a stormy nfleniooii
session, and tho thronged refresh
ment bar,
(Prom the Ashland Tiillngu.)
Wc aro reminded by an cdltorhl
in ono of tho vnlley papers tinder
dalfl of tho 17th Inst, of a subject
which wo purposely avoided under
the topic, "What tho Matter With
the noguo Illver Valley?" In our edi
torial series Just completed. Wo
wroto broadly of tho wholo valloy,
not of a particular and infinitesi
mal spot. In tho discussion wo. han
dled only subjects of a somewhat ex
tended Influenco and scopo, and tried
to arold small and narrow topics.
Had wo written on "What's tho Mat
ter With Fir Street, or a Fractional
Lot Hetwcen tho Alloy and tho Hotel
on Fir Street?" wo could havo Just
ly stated, "Tho Tribune, That'o
What's tho Matter With Fir Street,"
but In discussing broad topics, to In;
Joct pinched and narrow thing, not
understood beyond tho bcok of Its
immediate presence coutd havo but
the effect of confusing.
Hnd wo written on tho tplc,
"What's tho Matter With tho Tri
bune?" wo could havo rightly said,
"Putnam, that's what's tho mattor
with tho Tribune," but In writing on
a subject as broad as (ho Itogiio rivor
valley, or ao tho city of Medford. or
aa tho newspapent of the valley, or
on nny topic broad enough lo extend
beyond tho four walls of tho Tribune
building, to mention olthor Putnam
pr tho Tribune would havo been but
to deal with mntters foreign to In-,
telllgcnt readers, except It bo to
thoso who go always armed with a
microscope, for Its Influenco Is pos
sible of rovclatlon only within the
field of such n glass. However, had
wo Intended to deal with' a loplc as
wldo and high as Its egotism, wo
shoilbl havo been forced to ndvert to
empires, spheres, planets, worlds,
yea, even of tho universe, and (hat
topic was too big for tho occasion.
Could sonio things bo bought, for
what thoy nro worth and sold for
what they think they aro worth, coast
land exploiters could bo mado to
look llko thirty cents. Indeed, tht
most flagrant nnd brazen graft In
comparison would look llko n phi
lanthropic donation. Hut they can
not, nnd so tho matter drops.
However, was Putnam's and tho
Trlbuno's sphcro of influonco wider
than It Is it would Indeed amount to
a calamity. For what petty Jealousy
ever wrankles In his bosom that ho
docs not attempt to turn Into n corn-
unity feud? Or what xchcino In
thero, dark and rank enough to pon
otrato his calloused brain, that ho
does not clotho with glory and on
duo with artificial light to mako tho
worst appear tho hotter part? And
It must bo admitted ho has ability In
(hat lino, oven though ho acts so
much a borrowed part, for half those
golden sentences "that jilay such
wanton gambol with tho wind" were
formed in older pates that now llo
mouldnrlng In the sepukber.
