behind the republicans in getting
workers out among the voters early
this morning and at every precinct

literature and cards, were in evidence
for both parties.
Rumors current this morning that
some Of the Ankeny leaders were
willing to sacrifice Otto Rupp for at
torney in order to save Hawley for
treasurer, and the two commissioners,
gave the boxers a jolt and caused
several of the most active boxers to
get out on the streets among voters
to counteract the effect Of the ru-

uneasiness among the boxer crowd
and it is said that demand was made
on some of the Ankeny leaders to

Despite the strenuous efforts OF the

arong voters, today's election gives in
aiootions In to 2 o'clock this after
noon of being one of the quietest held
in the county in years.
I'm to noon less than 25 per cent of

TEN.IMILE SWIM
NEXT SATURDAY

Considerable interest Is manifested
In the swimming match next Satur'
day between John Leland Henderson
and young Byrnes. The manager Of
the Oaks at Portland has put up @
purse of $50, to go to the Portland
Swimming Baths, and the winner will
be accorded the honors. The race
will be from Oregon City to the Oaks,
distance Of ten miles in the william
cite river, and will probably take elk
or seven hours to make the trip. II
will be test of endurance. The start
will be made at eight o'clock In the
morning. Judge Henderson has been
practicing some, having spent some
time on the beach swimming In the
ocean, and last Sunday swan aoI oss
the Columbia four times without rest
ing, distance of six miles. One trip
across took only Is minutes. He was
accompanied In this swim by Willie
Chandler, Louis Henderson and G. D..
Guyer, who made one round trip.
The swimmers will be accompanied
by row boats to guard against acci
dent, while the judges will make the
trip In launches. Louis Henderson
will row one OF the boats.
A good many people intend to be
on hand to see the race, and will no
doubt take con siderable money along.
While Mr.. Henderson is a much older
man than his competitor, he has no
fear of losing the race,

THE OLD HAWKEYE STATE


Back through the vista of years let us pass
To those days In the Old Hawkeye State
When we welcomed Dame Nature In all hel
moods
And courled her early and late.
In fancy we wander again down the lane
And listen to the whlp-poOr will sing
While from the distant tall steepled towers
We hear the church bells ring
BY the stream that flows through the mead
ows green
We have sat through long sunny hours,
Talking with playmates we loved SO we'll,
Whose graves are now covered with flowers
In autumn we wandered through forest ant
When the nuts were beginning to fall;
Or gathered the fruit from the old apple trees
While the south birds were repeating theil
call
The school house stands where 1t did years
ago,
hut now battered and worn and old,
with Its rusty old latch and many scratch
by knives whose owners were bold
The door with panel or two broken through
While the windows hold not glass;
The broken down bench that stood by the
door
Whore we sat with our dear old class.
The bell cannot ring with It's merry old tune
For II hangs in It's place no more.
The master who held both the rod and the
rule
Has passed to the other shore.
Can You see the old home as II stood long ago
With the ivy and uld.tashoned flowers;
The stream running by and the woods quite
nigh,
Where we played mid the shady bowers.
The birds and the bees, the tall elm trees
Where hung the old rustic swing;
The boys and the girls with their soft brown
CurlS
And the songs they used TO sing.
Twas the corn huslIing bee, or the bright
Christmas tree
That called for much laughter and rIln,
Or the old spelling match, where the bright
wit could catch,
That charmed when the days work was
done.
We have LEFT that old home in the west TO
roam;
To climb the wild mountain trail
or float in a skitf through the Oregon mist
with spirit that does not fail.
Why do we long for the old uawkeye gong
To sound for the friends we know
Tls when we grow grey in fancy we play,
Amid the scenes of long ago,
Drink health to our friends who are still in
the East
with prosperity may they be hlest,
We honor them, love them, cherish them all
And advise them to come 10 the west,

The high prices paid for the best
grades of Hood River apples in a year
Of plenty, demonstrates that the world
lie ready to pay good price for su
perior article, regardless of the supply
Of the common grades. 1t settles the
future of the apple business in Hood
River valley as nothing else could.
Those who have good Spitzenbergs
and Newtowns this year will make big
profits, and even other standard var.
ieties will be profitable. 1t is con-
vincing argument that the present
prices of orchard land are not high,
but rather an Indication of an ad-
vance all along the line.

Treed BY a Cougar.

p. M. Hall-Lewi had an exciting
experience the first of the week while
surveying for the new ditch Of Ghe
Glacier Irrigation Co. on the base of
Mount Hood. While working in the
brush he heard the whining Of some
animal, and on looking into a clump
of brushes, discovered a couple Of
young cougars. Not caring to molest
them, he kept on with his work. In
few minutes as he was looking
through his surveying instrument, he
discovered the mother of the cubs
crawling along in his Direction, lie
did not wait for a formal introduo-
tion, but made for hackmetack tree
that was close by and in less time
than it takes to tell it he was up to
the first limb, about 60 feet from the
ground. The cougar stopped after
reaching the tree and sat there look,
ing up at him. The other men in the
party who we're some distance away
discovered him going up the tree,
and then caught sight of the cougar
at the bottom. They then scattered,
some of them running two miles be-
fore looking around. They aitel wards
explained that they went after gun.
Hall Lewis yelled himself hoals,, and
with flag pole that he grabbed in
his flight stood ready to defend him
self. He had several hours timo { so
he thinks) in viewing the scenery
from the top of tree, and thinks it
the finest observation tower in the
world under similar Icumstances.
lie says that the feeling Of eXhiliara-
lion experienced ia viewing the mag
niiicient glaciers Of Mount Hood aud
the surrounding mountains, with a
30-foot cougar standing guard below
him, cannot be described. He IL sure
the cougar was 30 feet long, as the
first glimpse of the beast measured at
least 10 feet, and only halt the body
was visible.
After the lapse Of several hours, the
men came back cautiously with rifles
and clubs, but as soon as the cougar
discovered the reinforcements, she
made off through the brush, followed
by the cubs.
Mr.. HALL says that they saw
many bear tracks, and several bear,
but did not get very near to them.

of the Glacier irrigating ditch.
There will be six miles of the ditch,
over three miles of which will be in

out of Fall Creek, otherwise known
as Cold Spring creek, Sand creek and
Tillie Jane. There will be 3, 900 inch
es of water available, and will be the
highest elevation of any ditch in the
valley. The ditch will be compare
lively easy to bu Id, with the excep
tion of one or two spots. This ditch
will take the place of the Mountain
View ditch, which will have to be
abandoned in all probability owing to
