She urgod Individual temperance, but as serted that prohibition means the doctrine of force and that working for It Is working from the wrong eud of a reform. "We can never have temperance in Its truest sense until we have raised men and women who are willing .to abide by the rule of self-protection," she said in part. "It is not going to be many years before we have a ra tional temperance reform Instead of the lachrymose emotional raid that Is now going on all over the country, engendering law-breaking, Infidelity and duplicity, but not touchlug whis key. "Just the other day the Chrlstaln Advocate gave a long account of the marvelous Increase of the use of In toxicants." She asked me that from now until the registration books close for the primaries her hearers fciioula bond every effort to get every man and woman to register." "Oregon's duty Is to decide that It Is not wise to destroy the hop Indus try, which enables thousands of wo men to get money to pay taxes and school their children.

DEPUTY GAME WARDENS OUT NEW STATE WARDEN 18 EMPOW FRED TO EMPLOY ALL HIM DEPUTIES t POLITICAL MOVE CHARGED Said That Ousted Deputies If "Right" May Get Their Jobs Back Will Reappoint About 80 la State Finishing touches of which is claimed the political "reorganiza tion" of the SUte FUh and Game Commission were put on at a meet ing In Salem Saturday when C. H. Evans, a personal friend of Gover nor West, and the new State Game Warden, was empowered to employ such deputies as he desired. It is contended that this action fol lowing closely upon the wholesale dismissal of the deputies, proves that the appointments to be made will be with a view of enlarging the scope of the "machine" which is in tended to do yeoman service in fur thering the campaign of Dr. J. C. Smith, West's favored candldlate for Governor. About 41 deputies under the old regime were let out and Mr. Evans said after the meeting that it would be necessary for him to employ about 28 or 30. He denied that there was anything political in the move and said that the men had been dis- rreJHod because It was believed the best way to bring about a reorganiza tion. He Intimated that many of the former deputies would be appointed. It is. believed that a number of the men. will - take the hint to get in right politically. A resolution summarily dismissing L. Alva Lewis from the employ of the Commission for alleged disloy alty and "false and malicious state ments" was adopted.

FORBES WILL ACCEPT HAS MADE GOOD RECORD IN STATE LEGISLATURE Representative From This Judicial District Will Be Candidate for Re-election Bend Bulletin: While up to the present, candidates for county offices have kept In the background so far as announcements are concerned. state office seekers are beginning to get into the limelight. But no an nouncement of candidacy will be of more Interest to Central Oregon than that of Vernon A. Forbes, repersenta- tlve in the last legislature from this district, who has announced that he will run for re-election. After the brilliant record that Mr. Forbes made last year, It Is practi cally- a foregone conclusion that be will receive the Republican nomina tion and be returned to Salem where he can accomplish more good for this territory. "I intend to make no special ef fort to be returned to the "House," said Mr. Forbes. "If the voters are saflfeficd and want me to work for them again. I want to go. Next year there will be many legislative mat ters of prime importance to this country and with tha experience that 1 have had and the friends that 1 have made I believe that I can ac complish more than a green man possibly could." WILL HELP FARMING . ss KLAMATH COUNTY WILL HATE AGRICULTURAL APPRISER Place Was Created by legislature -County Provides Half Expenses State Other Half . M. A. McCall, who has been in structor in agriculture In the Klam ath County High School for the last two years has resigned his position to accept the pott of county agricul tural apprise! , says the North west ern. Mr. McCall will assume his new duties in a few weeks or when his sucessor in the High School is chos en. The position of county agricul tural appriser was created by the last legislature. The apprisers for the different counties are appointed by the Department of Agriculture of the United States upon recom mendation of the State Agricultural College. Mr. McCall is rated by the Ore gon Agricultural College, of which he is a graduate and ex-faculty member, as one of the foremost au thorities on agriculture on the Pa cific Coast. In creating this position for each county of the State the Legislature provided for joint payment of ex penses by the c.ounties wishing to take advantage of this and the State. In this Instance the Klamath County Court provided for $2000 and an equal amount wilr come from the State government. This $4000 will be used to pay the salary of Mr. McCall, equipment and office expenses and provide other ieces sa iev.. Among the latter probabli tles is the establishment of small experiment farms In different parts of the county where the expert in agriculture will test different varie ties of crops and work toward bet tering the quality of products through Introduction of new - seed and different varieties. Storms Continue in the East Those who are enjoying the balmy climate of Lake County will learn with surprise that thirteen deaths were due to the storm in Pennsyl vania the latter part of last week and the first of this week. Points as far west as Cleveland, Ohio, and as far south si Baltimore were battered by wind, stung with sleet and burled in snow In a terrlfflo storm, central over the states of New York and New Jersey. In Ney York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania between eight and eleven inches of snow covered the ground and more falling on March 2. SOME WOOL IS CONTRACTED FRANKL BUYS FEW LARGE CLIPS IN LAKE AND MODOO COUNTIES REPORTS ON PRICE VARY London A actions Begin This Week And Advance la Prices Predicted Growrrs Are Advised to Walt The local wool market today is in rather a peculiar condition, owing to contradictory reports concerning the sale of Ben Daly's clip, consisting of approximately 12,000 fleeces. The Examiner has been informed that Mr. Daly received as high as 15 cents. although bis contract with J. Frankl, representing the Koshlands, fixes the price at 14 cents. The rumor Is given for what it is worth, as therj seems to be no way of arriving at the facts in the case. Practically -all the local sheepmen are holding for; 16 cents, and as a consequence nothing Is doing in the way of contracts. However, L. I. McCullyof Cedarvllle, has contract ed his clip of about 3000 fleeces, as has also H. D. and Dick .Woods, of Eaglevllle, Mr. Frankl getting both clips. The Woods have about 7000 fleeces, and the reported price is 1$ From a circular sent out by the National Wool Warehouse" & Stor age Co., of Chicago, we take the fol lowing: Many shareholders by wire and mail are asking for advice as to con -trading their clips now. In our opinion tt is pure speculation, to sell wool before it is grown. We are re minded of the Hebrew wool-buyers reply to the conundrum "When is wool not wool?" He said: "Vile it is growing it is sheep, und Ten it gets to Boston it is deer." This works both ways, but over a period of years the dealer lias found it profitable to contract in the Winter, for he has usually caught the grower napping. The London Auctions began Tuesday of this week, and an advance of 10 to 15 per cent In London prices is predicted. Would you not be In a' stronger trading position if you did not contract your wool until after you hear from London?
