HOOD RIVER Mil GROWTH OF WOMEN'S
HAVE A NEW JUDGE! CLUBS IN OREGON
Speculation as to who would be Hood
River county's new county judge form
ed the main topic here Satordsy in
political circles. County Judge Stan
ton, named at a recall election in 1912
to auceeed Judge Geo, R. Castner, an
nounced that morning that his letter of
resignation would go forward to Gov
ernor Withy combe the first of this
week. Judge Stanton, whose term of
office has been more or less character
ized by bickeringa between factions
created during the bitter reeall fight,
left Monday for Stromsberg, Nebr., bis
former borne, to enter business.
Judge Stanton has recently been
drawn into a rather unenviable lime
light because of his presidency of the
Associated Fruit Growers, a corpora
tion declared insolvent early in tbe fall
by Corporation Commissioner Schulder
roan. A auit brought by District At
torney Derby against Judge Stanton in
behalf of minority stockholders of the
defunct corporation is now pending in
circuit court. A judgment against
Judge Stanton for a sum of approxi
mately $40,000 is asked in the com
plaint filed by the district attorney.
Judge Stanton, when asked if be
would return here to right the case,
which will probably come on for a
hearing at a next year's term, replied
that be would see that the suit would
be taken care ot.
An aspirant to succeed Judge Stan
ton is L. N. Blowers, first mayor of
Sumpter and formerly mayor of this
city. Mr. Blowers has been endorsed
by the Republican central committee ot
the county and by numerous business
men of tbe city, among them bis two
competitors in the hardware business.

members have endorsed bim.

Canadian Pacific, through Wallula over
the Northern Pacific, and through
Marengo over the Milwaukee line."

iing to announcements, will continue

(By Mrs. Cha. H Castner In Ore
gonian Annual.)
Tbe Oregon Federation of Women's
clubs, orgsnited in 19, has enjoyed a
continued and prosperous growth in
membership and usefulness until at
the 16th annual convention, held in Sea
side October 9-12, 163 el'ibs were re
ported as holding membership, compris
ing nearly 10,000 of the most progress
ive and intelligent women of the state.
The club movement in Oregon has
not confined itself to the cities alone,
although Portland bas 30 federated
clubs, and each of the other larger
cities of the state are well represented,
Eugene having five. There are few of
the smaller cities and towns that do not
boast ot a club that bas done much for
its people along educational and civic
linea. Many clubs in the rural dis
tricts havo been organized for civic
betterment and social uplift, and do
much to keep the women on the iarm
in touch with the great women move
ment of the day.
Showing its true progressive spirit,
Oregon was represented by 17 dele
gates at the biennial meeting of the
Genreal Federation of Women's clubs,
held in New York last May. The west
was recognized as an important factor
in this great gathering of women when
to California tell tbe honor oi naming
Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, of Los An
geles, as president, snd Oregon rejoiced
that ita past president, Mrs. Sarah A.
Evans, of Portland, might be named as
a director.
Much credit is due the Oregon club
women for the interest they have taken
in every line that tends to better con
ditions of the state and the home. In
art, literature and music they are
striving to raise the standards and
create a demand for the best. There
ar few libraries in the state that have
not been obtained through their efforts.
To tbem belongs the credit for estab
lishing tbe clean-up day. That has long
since become sn annual event in every
community. Their efforts along the
lines of conservation have not been
without results, and they have awak
ened a keener appreciation of our nat
ural resources. They are ever energet
ic good roads boosters, and this last
year appointed a special committee to
offer their assistance in this movement.
Last May they added their efforts to
those of the sister states of Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana and Utab in ob
serving "Western Clubwomen's Con
sumers' Week," and urged every mem
ber to buy western and Oregon made
goods, using the slogan, "Buy at Home
and get the habit."
Since having the privilege of the
ballot Oregon clubwomen have taken a
serious, dignified interest in all legis
lative affairs, and are especially inter
ested in bettering conditions in the
state institutions, particularly those
that deal with the women and children.
Through the Public Health Commission
the Oregon Federation is undertaking a
movement for the treatment and care
of the crippled children of the state by
raising a fund to establish beds in hos
pitals and later hoping to establish a
children's hospital.
Perhaps the most important work
undertaken by the clubwomen of the
state, surely the one that is bringing
the best returns, is that of its scholar
ship loan fund, established nine years
ago. The fund is loaned to young
women of the state to assist in their
education and is to be paid back with
out interest when they become self
supporting. Ths fund is raised by the
clubs' setting aside the last Wednesday
in January, which is known as "red
letter day." The last annual report
showed that 111 young women had re
ceived loans from this fund to the
amount of 112,345.
If tbe clubwomen of this state did
nothing else, this investment alone
would be worthy their efforts.
