WILSON WINS HOTCONTEST PECULIAR PHASE ABOUT VOTE CAST Oregon Remains Western Beacon Light of Republican Party Biographical Sketches of Local Winners Last Thursday wis a day of great excitement for those of the nation who took great Interest in the presidential race, and that meant practically every body. A dispatch would eome announc ing a lead for Hushes, and broad smiles of encouragement would wreath the luces of G. O. P. men. Then a message would bring news of success for Wilson, and, metaphorically speak ing, the donkey would bray for joy. wss late Thursday night, however. before definite news of President Wil son s reelection came to Hood Kiver, Many waited until the receipt of the Oregonian before the news would be taken as authentic. All in all. the race was one of the most remarkable ever experienced by the American people. Dope sheets of politicians were entirely overthrown. Oregon alone remains the beacon light of the Republican party on the Pacific coast. Because of intra state jeal ousies Washington and California were given to Wilson. In the eastern states, where prosperity, more than anywhere else, abounds, the vote of the people went lor Hughes. In the middle west, where the indifferent voter prevails for the most part, especially on the issues of the day, Wilson ran his strongest. Sinnott, Hawley and McArthur, Ure- gon's three Republican congressmen, were all returned by handsome expres sions of the people. In the district composed of Hood Kiver and Wasco counties, the result in the race for sen atorsthip was peculiarly gratifying to Hood Kiver people, who elected their choice for the legislature, Geo. R. Wil bur, f or the first time Hood Kiver, n fact eastern Oregon, will have a woman representative. Mrs. ihomp- son defeated J. L. Kelly by a narrow margin. J. E.

Ravlin two of the largest cash sales of local orchard property made in the past three years have just been closed, the total consideration of the two deals reaching 127,000. Through the consum- mation of one of the deals Ralph Root, who already owns 120 acres of young orchards in the Middle Valley, becomes owner of the 34 acre bearing orcnard of the Dr. Stanton Allen estate located on the East Side. Mr. Root, who with his family has formerly spent the sum mers here, will make the newly pur chased place his permanent home. The other deal involves a w acre partly bearing tract on the East Side purchased by C. K. Benton from Mrs. Mary C. Swanson. The consideration in the Alien-Koot transrer was tK.uuv, while Mr. Benton paid $10,000. The peculiarly gratifying features oi these deals," says Mr. Ravlin, "come from the fact that both tracts are bought by men who are already heavy holders of local orchard property. It displays a confidence in the apple in dustry, and we are looking for a good movement in apple land witn too open ing of the next year's season." Reckers Sells Grapes Here The larger portion of the supply of grapes consumed in nooa Kiver mis fall have been grown by C.W. J. Reck ers, whose piece ia in iviicKiiBk coumy just across the Columbia.

The vines have pro duced several tons this season, and be cause of the scarcity of the product in other diatricta and locally, the fruit bas sold extremely well. Niagaras and Concords from Mr. Reckers' vineyards have retailed here throughout the season for eight cents per pound.
