TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, OCTOBER 26, 1916. REPUBLICANS MAKE BIG GAINS IN OREGON ------ o------ All Other Parties and T°tal Registra­ tion Show Heavy Losses in l Years. ------o------ Salem, Ore., Oct. 20.—In the last two years tlie Republican party tn Oregon has gained 16,954, while the Democratic and other parties have lost adherents, according to the reg­ istration figures lor the November election on tile witii the Secretary of State Olcott. The Republican registration for the coming election shows a total of 189- 937, as compared with 77,703 regis­ tered Democrats, 1435 Progressives, 7150 Prohibitionists, 6991 Socialists and 9551 of miscellaneous affiliation. The total registration this year is 293,670, which is 12,060 below the number listed on the registration books two years ago. Despite the increase in the number of electors, the Republicans have gained, a study of the figures show­ ing that the gain almost exactly cor­ responds to the loss in registration experienced by the Prohibition and Progressive parties. This year the Prohibition registra­ tion is 9318 below that of two years ago, and the Progressives have fallen off 6284, making a totol decrease for these two parties of 15,665, as com­ pared with the Republican gain in registration of 15,954. In 1914 the Democratic registration was 78,981, while this year i it has fallen 1188 below that figure. The Socialist party had 9149 listed I two years ago, but lacks 2158 of this number now. Only four counties show a decrease in the number of Republicans regis­ tered, these being Crook, Curry, Gill­ iam, and Morrow. In Crook the de- crease is duc to the fact that since the last election Jefferson County has been created from a portion of Crook’s territory, thus taking away a part of its registration. Where Jeffer­ son still a part of Crook, the combin­ ed figures show the Republicans have gained. GREEN SHELLED FLEAS. SIRIUS AND THE DOG DAYS. Tiny Parasite« That Attack Nearly All Freeh Water Fish.

Scarcely any species of fresh water fish to free from the attacks of the lit­ tle dtokllke fish flen, Its flattened, green­ lab body being pressed close against the skin of tbe fish.

I have watched the flsh fleas during these excursions into the open water. apparently engaged In their gambols— tiny greetiish disks dashing hither and thither in direct course. diving sudden ly downward or upward or turning over and over In a series of rapid somer­ saults. which have been reckoned to number some hundred a minute.

The dog days, when excessive heat la supposed to prevail, begin July 3, according to the ancient reckoning, and continue to Aug. 11. All sorts of tradi­ tion« and superstitious are connected with this period, and various date» are also given. In some sections the dog days are ■aid to begin on July 24 and to end on Aug. 24, while still others attribute the malevolent influence of the dog star upon the earth to the period from Aug. 4 to Sept. 4, in accordance with the an­ cient Egyptian reckoning. As a matter of fact, the rising of the dog star, Canto Majoris or Sirius, has nothing to do with the affair nt all. The rising of that star lias been so ac­ celerated by the procession of the equi­ noxes during the passage of more than 2,000 years that the corresponding con­ ditions for the ancient dog days no longer exist. In ancient times in the latitudes of the Mediterranean the i>eriod of great­ est heat nearly corresponded with that time in which the dog star rose at the same time with the sun. To this con­ junction all antiquity and all the later followers of Judicial astrology attrib­ uted a malignant influence. Among the modern notions regarding the dog days is the absurd belief that it Is during this period that dogs are most likely to go mad.—St. Louis I’ost-Dis- pateh. VAST AREA OF TEXAS.

The extreme radical element of the Oregon Prohibitionists are attempting to stiffen their weakening campaign by a Malicious Misrepresentation. I The Paid Agitators of the Prohibition move­ ment say that the amendment to the prohibition amendment means “the return of the saloon. That is a Misstatement born of Ignorance or “Moneyed” Enthusiasm, or both, anti in direct and complete denial of this un­ truth, there are nine of the very best attorneys of the State of Oregon who go on record assaying : “Any attempt to open a beer saloon under this law under pretense that the saloon was the agent of the manufacturer or otherwise, would in our opinion be futile (useless).’’ (Signed), MARTIN L.
