Clarke, McCurdy, Klioudes, Johnson, Hanson, Wirkham and Kay Win Local Contests. Hood River county lent its eddy to the wave which swept the state against the assembly in the Republican primary election Saturday and of the 11 ollices which were contested on the state ami county tickets the assembly candidates received but six majorities in Hood River county. The vote among the Republicans and Democrats was very .light, the Republican vote being about tiOO out of ICS members registered and the Democrat vote be ing 72 out of a registration of 11)1. There were few contests in the minor ity party and among the Republicans the lines were drawn between the as sembly men and the anti-assembly fac tion. The latter vote was split up by a number of candidates. However, there was considerable scratching by both the organization Republicans and the antis. The normal assembly vote is probably well indicated by the vote on the heads of the state and county tickets, Bowcrnian and Newton Clark, who Jreceived l!.ri ami IS;', respectively in tin; county. It was a notable fact I hat for nearly every ollice the man who made the most active campaign, both personal and through the mails, was the man who won the nominal ion. Charles N. Clarke was nominated for county judge getting U.'ill votes In 1X1 tor Newton ( lark, assembly candidate, anil 1.1,1 for Woodworlh. In the race for I he two nominations for commissioner G. A. McCurdy, of 1 he west side, and Orson II. Rhoades, the assembly's choices, were success ful, getting I1.1N and 2K12 votes respec tively. J. R. Steele made an excellent race getting liii.r votes and it is proba ble that had he not had opposition in the upper valley from Charles Stein- hauser, who got 11.1 votes, he would have pulled down the noniiniitiou. I homas..lohnson won the nomination for sherilf over (1. R. Castiier by a vole of :!" to 2(i:i. Johnson carried every precinct except West Hood River where I astner had a majority of one. W. K. Hanson, the nominee fer clerk, received the most, votes given any can didate in the county who had opposi tion, having 412 to 111 given his oppon ent. I' Howard Isenberg. lsonherg carried Falls precinct, where lie for merly taught school, :i) to 17, while Hansen s biggest majority was m his former home precinct, Baldwin, where the vote was 7li to 1.1. '1 he closest race; for any of the county offices whs that for assessor, in which Jasper Wirkham landed the nomination with a majorilyof 15 votes. The tally was Wickham 2'.t'., Henry L. Howe J. M. Schinelt.cr and 1'rof. ('. I). Thompson were nominated for treas urer anil superintendent, of schools, respectively by voles ol Oil ami ,i:i:i. They had a clear field. I lie lour candidates for surveyor split up the vote for the most sought lor ollice but the nomination went to Murray Kay with a comfortable major ity, llurlburt, the assembly candi date, was handicapped by not having his name on the ballot. I ho vote was Knv2!l, Morse 111), Hackctt HI, llurl burt 17. A. C. Ruck and K. S. ((linger were nominated without opposit ion for jus tice ami constable, respectively, of Hood River district, which includes all precincts except Falls and Haldwin. liuck s vote was lot) ami that lor Olinger was 1121. frank M. dill, of Dufur, and John I.elaml Henderson, of this city, anti- assembly candidates, were the nomi nees for joint representative for Hood River and Wasco counties. Their ma jorities were large in the latter county. Dr. J. r . Walt, ot Hood Kivcr, led by a good margin in this county Put the nnti-nsembly feeling in Wasco lost the nomination for him. The vote in Hood River county was Walt 1112, Henderson 27(1, ('.ill 20'.l, Stewart MX Sam W. Stark had no oppoHition for the nomination for the circuit judge ship. He received 1,11 votes in this county and Judge W. I,, liradshaw, the Democrat nominee was given 22 votes by the Republicans. The big vie ory by A. W. Lalferty, who was the nominee for Congress, was a surprise. I.all'erty made a hard campaign and was rewarded with the votes, lie made his light against Con gressman r.llis ami also nail to divine with two other insurgent ami anti-ns- senibly candidates. Incomplete re turns gave Lallcrly a plurality or 2,7K1 in the district. His lead over Hllis in this county was ,11. The strength shown by Reed was another surprise in this race. Miepord, the fourth can didate, was ahead in Falls precinct, Fllis won in West Hood River, with Reed second and the other live wont to I.all'erty. Odidl gave I.alferty the biggest per centage of votes. He has relatives in that section. The vote in the county was I.all'erty 21,1, Kllis 101, Reed 127, Sheperd .Mi. The race for the state ollices resulted in the following nominees: Governor, Howerrnan ; Secretary of State, lien- son ; Treasurer, Kay; Supreme Justices (I years) Henri and Mcliride; (b years) Burnett and Moore; Attorney General, Crawford; State Superintendent of Schools, Alderman; State Printer, Duniway ; Labor Commissioner (still in doubt) llotV's majority over Orion on incomplete returns is less than 1,000; R. It. Commissioner, Miller; State Fnginecr, Lewis; Water Superintend ent, (second divison) Cochran. Of the state offices there was only one successful nominee wlio unl not carry Hood River county. Dimick, for (jovernor, carried this county over Howerrnan, who was successful in the state by 11 votes. Dimick ran especial ly strong in Haldwin, where he has rel atives. The vote on Governor in Ihis county was Dimick 20!), Howerrnan I'.l.l, Abraham KM, llofer 77.

Dr. Kdgington, a Demo crat, barely nosed out Fdgar Hutton for the nomination by n vote of 41 to 41. Hurnette Duncaii was thud with 11 votes. Others receiving votes for that ollice were Drs. Shaw, Brosius, Dumble and Watt, A. C. Ruck, and Charles T. Marly. In Baldwin George Dimick was the Republican nominee for Justice and L. W. Tomlinson for Constable. In Falls the nominei'S for these ollices were Frank Hall and J. P. Wilder, respec tively. The Republican committeemen se lected were: Baldwin, Charles K. Spencer; Falls, A. VV.

Stranuhan. There were very few candidates for the Democratic nominations and in a good many cases the Republican nom inees were also the choice of the Dem ocrats for the county ollices. William Ganger, the only county candidate on the ballot received the nomination for sherilf. George D. Cubertson was the nominee for county judge. M. M. Hill was named for commissioner and .1. R. Steele, who failed in getting the Re publican nomination, was the choice of the Democrats for their oilier can didate. Prof. McLaughlin was the nominee for County Superintendent. For the other ollices the Democrats endorsesd the Republican choice as pil lows: Clerk, Hansen ; Assessor, Wick hani ; Treasurer, Sehmelt.'.or ; Survey or, hay ; I oroiier, Ldginglon. Henry Hickox was on the ballot for constable in this district and was nom inated by the Democrats while they endorsed A. C. liuck, the Republican choice for Jusifce. liradshaw was the Democrat nomi nee for circuit Judge. There were no candidates for Con gress and the vote in this county stood lii for John Manning and 1 1 for Harry Lane. The official returns from the district will name the man. Few of the state ollices were con tested by the Democrats. Oswald West was successful in getting the place on the ticket for Governor. 'I he county vole was West ,12, Myers 20. There were contests for the Democrat ic nominations for railroad commiss ioner ami state pi inter but the re turns for that parly from over the state are so meager that the result is not known. In this county the vote was : State Printer-Godfrey '41, Tayloi 11; R. R. Commissioner- McClain II, Strain 21. The Democrat committeemen are: Haldwin, Robert I .ensure; (Mill, tie between L. A. K. Clark and K. T. Foils; South Hood RGer. C. L. Morse; West flood Kk';. ".. fcl, Culberlson; Fast Hood River, V. Wicholl ; Hood River Center, J. W. Perigo. HY SI! IT. F. F. CO A I). In every l i art merit the school work is moving sisn. .t. ily. The fipiril mani fested b (he Mu lentH this vear, both in the grades and the High School, is commendable. There arc sixty pupils enrolled in the Fighth Grade already. Ihis makes it necessary In secure another Fighth (irade toachei lo assist Miss lurney with this department, of the work. Almost without exception the graduates from last year's Fighth (irade class have entered the High School. This Hhould he a matter of local pride. It certainly speaks well for educational sentiment, in Hood River. Such n record can be dupli cated in few towns the country over. When you lake into considi rat ion the fact that High School work in our high school is serious work, thai credits are earned by the students, then you can get a better idea of the sincerity and earnestness of our young people. It is the constant aim of the school au thorities to raise the standard of clli- ciency of Hie nchuols, and this action meets the hearty support ot the stu dents. It is not unusual for students to suggest more rigid requirements than even the teachers have thought best. With such a spirit as this on the part of the students it is a pleasure for Ihe teachers to work with them and direct their efforts. The eouipmerit for the Domestic Science Course in the High School is being placed as rapidly as possible. Active work will begin in this course the week following the Teachers' In stitute. Fifty-six of Ihe High School girls have enrolled for the course. Miss Horning, who will have charge of the work, is experienced and practical. It is the aim of the school board to make tin: course practical and effi cient. Several have asked whether any provision would be made for tui tion pupils wlm desire to lake this Work only. It has been arranged to nnld such a class on Saturday forenoons. Hut a limited number can be accom modated, so those who Mi'sire to take the course should notify the superin tendent, at once. The Annual Teachers' Institute will be held at The Dalles again this year from October 4th to 71 h inclusive. 'I he school law requires that all teach ers attend, so sotiool will be (dosed in all districts of Hood River County fer tile four days. On Juno 1, Hood River High School was invited to participate in a Track and Field Meet at The Dalles during Fair week. Hood River accepted. August :il we were notified that neiiher Goldendale nor Sherman County hail as yet accepted the invitation, hut, to quote the words of the letter, "Never theless, count on it; we will do the best, we can." Last Friday we re ceived a letter from the High School Principal of The Dalles, staling that since Hood Rivw High School was Ihe only school of the four that began early they would have to withdraw the invitation and call the meet nlf. It was our understanding that the Track Meet was to he managed by the fair Association. It is our understanding at the present time that the directors wish the Track Meet held. Hood River High School athletes are ready to do t heir best and were anticipating a bard contest It is hoped thai The Dalb's Migri 'Ubletes can purchase some foot w .nors or prevail upon Alexander to i ' . High School (which might have the same effect) so that the Meet can be held as scheduled. The Ladies Aid .Society of the Con gregational church will meet on Friday afternoon nt the home of Mrs, R. h. Harbison. APPLES GOING TV 120 CARS 01TS1DE OK NEW YORK Hood River Cniun Practically the Only Apple Sellers (Jetting F. 0. H. Prices. The Hood River apples this year sold by the Apple Growers Union are being scattered ad over the United States and some of them me being sent lo Fngland direct, u that the fruit of this section should advertise itself this season more than ercr before. In years past nearly all the fruit has gone to New York, hut this year only about one half tka crop was sold to Steinhardl & Kelly in the easter.i me tropolis. Up to this week 120 cars had been sold outside of New York. An idea of the extent to which Hood River apph's will be scattered may be gained by this partial list of the cities which will get on or more carloads : Boston, Providencw, Philadelphia, Cin ciuali, Chicago, Minneapolis, Fargo, Mitchell, S. D., Greeley, Col., St. Louis, Los Angeiv, San Francisco, and numerous points in Texas ami Oklahoma. Manager C. H. Sproat. says that practically every sale made so far has included boum Spit.enhurgs arid that all (he fruiey apples of that variety are now said. Certain apph s will be shipped direct to London and Liverpool, by the Union, while Stein hardl it Kelly will send some of their purchase to the Kiiliuh markets. The Union fixed the price ami all the apples to the different buyers were sold on the f. o. b. basis ut the established price. Manager Sproat suys that riot a sin gle f. o. b. sale httd been made in the country until after the Now York sale of the Hood Rivar apples. A week ago no sale on tkat liHsis had been clsoed in southern Oregon and no f. o. b. deals have been luuW at Yakima or Wenalchee according to the papers of those places. Manager Sproat staled that no outright wnTtu had been made of Hood Rive r appUw except by Ihe Union. "Some buyers, he said, "have I romised Union prices, which have nd yel been maje public, and have made advances with the assurance thai, they will meet the Union figure. How ever, if it were not fur tin- Union Hood River would be in theaiue boat with the other districts, which are wonder ing where their fruit is going, and our wdiole proposition would be on a con signment basis. " Many interesting things are coming lo ligiil with ihe marketing of this season's record apple crop from the Northwest. A Nurthwi-stern Fruit Fxchange Iihs been eslal lohed in Port land to handle the fruit of many dis tricts. The growei themselves do not seem to be bark of II movement and it is not known junt who is respon sible. The F.xchange is shipping most ly from small districts. Wenalchee has an abundance of good fruit, but, it seems to be in a bail way lo -il it on the market in good shape ami at. good prices. 'Ihe papers there till of the troubles. "Apple Packing School Is Hruily Needed' is one Wenalchee headline. They have no packers to put the crop in market able form. Wenalchee, without a good selling organization, seems to be at the mercy of the buyers.' "Is Valley In Grasp of Apple Buying Monopoly" is a double column headline ovr an open hitler by Ira Kdwards discussing the situation, lie says that tin-re han been no bidding ami that but two buyers are in the Wenalchee territory, lie nays that, a strong association is hocih d and that the growers must (five the association help if they want (food prices. Conrad Rose, a produce man-hunt there, re sponds with an interview to the eirect that the buyers will come when the apples are packed and ready to ship and explains low opening prices Willi the statement that tliey do not wish to kill the demand. R. P. Loorriis, a dealer of New York, who was recently here in Hood River looking after bin ranch in the upper valley, visiled in Weiiatchee and in arr interview advised them as to the cause of their troubles. I.ooinis lold Wenat chee to send a man east to study the markets and not to dump all their fruit into New York and Chicago, where it might id before the glutted market could be i lean-d, but to send to the various secthnm of the country where the den, and was good, lie told of the saving in sending the carlot shipments direct to the smaller cit ties instead of having them sent via New York and Chicago. He told them bet tor prices would follow the correction of Ihis faulty distribution. Another W'enntrhei.i fruit man, .1. VV. McDonald, says that, the answer to the problem is lo substitute f. o. b. selling for the haphazard consignment. He also put capital letter emphasis on the necessity of an effective Helling" organ ization, lie explained the failure of Wenalchee growers to realize on Iheir peaches this year by the fact thai, they had consigned in a heller skelter fash ion and no man knew what, the condi tions wen- on the various markets. linen Kiver Pears at $1 Among tin- features of special inter est were the nnSval over Sunday of limited consignments of Cornice and d'Anjoii pear; from Hood River, which were pill on the market at f2 a box. These are two of Uie varieties I hat have made Oregon famous for the pro duction id' pears. Fancy olferings of both have frequently in recent years sold at $1 lo ifo a box in the New York market, in carload lots. Their superi ority is conceded In nil quarters. The shipments r ived her are exception al in quality. -Portland Journal. Prof, .larjtsefl Promoted. Dean Arthur H.
