zatlon of Auxiliary societies, citing
the results attained elsewhere, and
particularly the good results accom-
plished in Nebraska. His talk was
interesting and directly to the point.
Governor Chamberlain delivered an
address on 'The Development of Ore
gon." He spoke eloquently of the re-
suits of organized effort, calling
particular attention to the good work
done for Oregon by the Lewis and
Clark Fair. He declared that this
Fair changed the attitude of outside
people toward Oregon, and attracted
attention to its varied resources in the
most effective manner possible. The
Governors talk was greatly enjoyed.
At the afternoon session, the report of
the organization committee, submit
ting a constitution and bylaws, was
adopted. Officers were then elected as
follows; H. s. Butz, Of Dallas, presi-
dent; B. I. Ferguson, of EoIa, first
vice-president; D. L. Keyt, of Perry
dale, second vice president; Peter
Kurre, of Independence, third vice

nolds to solicit members. The list of
membership will be circulated in
every precinct in Polk county, and it
is expected that at least 200 fruit
growers will join the organization.

Dust and Snow Mixed.

Sunday morning q novel phenom-
enon was witnessed here. A furry Of
snow had come up during the night
before and when the dawn broke the
snow was seen to be covered with a
layer Of fine dust. Indeed, the snow
was impregnated with the dust. In
vestigation proved that snow, dust
and all had blown up from the Hay
stack country, where a dust storm had
been in progress Saturday afternoon.
The finely powdered snow falling had
absorbed the "pumice" dust held in
suspense in the atmosphere, and the
night wind, dry and cold, had carried
the mass up here and deposited it in
our neighborhood. -Prineville Re-
view. Much Of this dust blew across
the Cascade Mountains, and the air
in the valley was filed with for several
days. Here in Dallas it had the ap-
pearance Of fog, and many people
were unable to account for the strange
phenomenon.

When Women Disagree.

Those excellent ladies favoring
woman suffrage and those opposing
it, though the election is more than
five months in the future, are waging
an incessant warfare, and if all goes
we'll and the ammunition does not
give out every woman in the state is
likely to be involved 10 the carnage
on one side or the other before election
day. Showers of literature are pour
ing in on the newspapers from both
sides. Not infrequently the same mail
brings matter from both. And it is
literature of the very first order. The
outcome of the struggle will be
watched with interest, for the battle is
a hot one, as is always the case when
Greek meets Greek, or woman meets

KNOWS Needs OF Oregon.

In H. M. Cake of Portland, the
people of Oregon have the right kind
of man they want to represent them
in the United States Senate. No man
is more familiar with the needs Of
our State, nor in a better position tc
appreciate them than he. For many
years past he has been an active
worker in the interests Of Greater
Oregon and is thoroughly imbued
with all the needs of the state.
Mr.. Cake advocates the election OF
United States Senators by direct vote
of the people, as means Of purifying
the Upper Branch of Congress. He
stands for the exclusion Of Chinese
coolie labor from this country.

NOT DESIRED BY PEOPLE
Repeal of Timber and Stone Act
Would Be Serious Blow to De-
velopment OF Western States.

William Z. Culkin, the retiring
register of the Duluth land office, is
much interested in the attempts now
being made to have congress repeal
the timber and stone law. Mr. Culkin
is against the proposed repeal and be-
lieves action should be taken at once
by the people of this part Of the coun-
try to check any such attempt. Mr..
Culkin has been for eight and half
years in a position to observe the
operation of this law closely, and as
he is generally admitted to be an
authority on land matters, the follow
ing statement made by him will doubt
less bear weight:
''Steps should be taken by the people
Of Northern Minnesota to impress on
the minds of their representatives in
both houses of congress the fact that
the repeal Of the timber and stone law
is not desired by the people Of this
section. 1t is one Of the most
meritorious land laws on the statute
books, and its repeal, If it occurs, will
be blow to the development Of the
northern portion of the state.
cit is essentially a poor mans law
and gives the northern pioneer u
chance to get on in the world, being
one small recompense to him for his
work in developing new country.
Anyone who investigates the matter
will find that the law is being taken
advantage of, not by the dishonest
but in fact by the best class Of our
people. Farmers, mechanics, business
men, editors, bankers, clergymen and
people OF other worthy callings invest
their savings in land under this law
and at once begin to pay taxes on the
land they buy.
''It is true that there has been fraud
under this law, but that is true of
every other law that ever heard of.
The fact remains, however, that as
the timber and stone law is now ad-
ministered, fraud has been almost
entirely eliminated. Such fraud as
may be found is merely sporadic, not
general. Fraud arises not from bad
laws, but from lax or corrupt admin
istration
"No one, as yet, has advanced even
a plausible reason why this beneacent
statue should be repealed One idea
advanced is that the lands should be
reserved for homesteaders. But some
of our land is of such a character that
it is not taken as homesteads. Our
best lands are now homesteaded.
"Why segregate 100000 or more
acres Of government land, to be added
to the gloomy, unproductive wastes
now held by the state? Why not get
these lands on the tax rolls to aid in
upbuilding the northern counties?
SIT is true that spectators in scrip
would benefit by the repeal. Certainly
these speculators who usually get
something for nothing from the
government are not its fayorites. At
the same time they are the only ones
who would reap profit from its re-
peal 1t would be a wrong to the
people and to the towns, villages,
school districts and counties of the
northern country. the very interests
which the proposed repeal is mis-
takenly supposed to serve"

FAyORITE OF THE PEOPLE
Candidate TOOze Is Too Active and
Energetic to Suit Old Ring
Politicians.

The old Salem ring politicians don't
take kindly to Walter L. Tooze OF
Woodburn for congress.
He Is a little too active and ener.
getic for them. He is too independent
to suit them.
He has all the energy and strenuous
ness of Roosevelt, and keeps his ear as
close to the ground as did Mckinley.
He wrote platform that was sur
prise to the ring leaders. It struck
out boldly on new lines, and all they
could do was to copy it,
If Walter L. Tooze is nominated he
will not have to give all the fat places
to two generations of old political
hacks.
He will not be mortgaged up to the
neck financially for money advanced
to him by bosses who would dictate his
appointments.
The producers and the laboring men
and the real workers in the Republican
party, will have something TO say as
we'll as the fellows who have worn odt
official chair bottoms and had their
pictures painted at public expense.
Tooze will not be the tool Of any
boss. He will get his nomination
from the people, and he will be a
congressman for the people, of the
people, and by the people, or stay at
home. Salem journal.
