Grangers to Remain Neutral on Federal Apportionment Plan Pendleton OI.PJ The Oregon State Grange Friday avoided a split between eastern and west ern Oregon delegates to the an nual convention here and voted to remain neutral in the contro versy over proposed "federal" apportionment of the state Legis lature. A proposal to reapportion the state Senate on the federal plan, with each county allotted the same number of seats, may ap pear as an initiative measure on the November ballot. The Grange last year had supported the plan to bolster rural eastern Oregon's Senate delegation against the growing weight of Rynning Receives Two Party Nominations County Surveyor Paul Ryn ning received the Democratic as well as the Republican nomina tion for his office in the May primary election, the canvass of votes showed last week. Rynning, a republican, was running unopposed for the nom ination. There was no Demo cratic candidate , but Rynning received 88 write-in votes on the Democratic ballot, more than any other individual, giving him the other party's nomina tion as well as his own. As a re sult, he will have no opposition on the ballot in the fall. The surveyor, who has held the office for many years, also serves as county engineer, an appointive post. A typographical error in Thursday's Mail Tribune story giving the results of the primary election official canvass showed Incorrect totals in the results of the Ashland justice of the peace election. Mrs. Nelle Burns received a total of 3.915 votes: L. Pears Wilmeth received 3.850, and Mrs. Ida George received 890. A run-off election in the fall will be necessary between Mrs. Burns,, the incumbent, and Wil meth, whose total was only 65 less than Mrs. Burns'. A run-off is necessary when no candidate receives an outright majority. Col. William Brandt Dies in Portland Portland U.R) Col. William T.

Demand Repeal Grangers also demanded re peal of all federal legislation that would terminate federal control over Indians on the Klamath reservation.

Each rooster must be register ed an hour before the contest starts on the day of the crow. All roosters must be restrained in some manner, according to the Rogue River Boosters club. No entry fee will be collected. The rooster crow can be en tered by mailing or bringing in person an entry blank with the name of the rooster and person entering the rooster. Prize mon ey will be $500 and a trophy will be presented to the crowingest rooster. Prizec Awarded Prizes are awarded for the roosters crowing the most times during a specified 30 minute period during the day of the contest. Cash prizes are award ed for the most original coop or best prepared cage housing a rooster. The crows are counted by judges who are selected before the contest to watch each rooster or pair of roosters a,nd to record their craws. According to the Boosters when one rooster crows loudly, others follow him. All rooster crows are counted at the same time by the judges. Rogue River Boosters said the roosters are not made to crow but crow of their own volition. The Boosters recommend to en tries that it is best to cage the rooster several days before the contest and move him about in strange surroundings, since a rooster crows best in his home surroundings. It is also best to keep the cage covered, the Boost ers say, and take off the wraps just before the contest. The rooster will be fooled into think ing it's morning, they say.
