dencv. Some top loads sold for $9.2O,
others for 1915, while the bulk OF the

POLK BUTTER MAKERS
Jnspector Finds Diaries Clean ana
Well Equipped.

w. B. Duncan, Deputy state DAIRY
and Food Commissioner, has COM
Melted a detailed inspection OF the SSA
farms and dairies of Polk County, anu
has fled his report with Commissioner
w Bailey The report includes IN
formation as to the number and KINDS
of COWS on each farm, the NUMBER oi
calves raised, whether the sire OF these
calves is a registered animal Oh sonie
dairy breed or simply of the common
order. the kind and condition OF the
cream separator, the sanitary ce1-
d;tion of the barn, etc. Scorecards
were used and all dairies OF ten COWS
or upwards were scored.
A summary of the work was drawn
nm by Mr.. Duncan, giving statistlcal III
formation in condensed form. From
this IL is apparent that Polk County
farmers have not yet entered very
largely into the pursuit of dairying Oh
an extensive scale. The 391 dairies
comnrised a total of 3404 cows, or an
average of 81 cows to the farm. Ou'
of 1874 dairies scored, an average OF
a1-5 out of a possible 100 was made
only 81. or 14.5 per cent of Polk Coun'
tv dairymen were found to be uslht
registered sires. These were DIVIDED
among the different breeds as fol
lows: Jerseys 40, Holstein 8, Shorthori
4, Guernsey 1.
This is Polk County's first inspec
ton. Mr.. Duncan reports some hrst
class dairies, where both methods ant
equipment are modern, and other
that are in need of improvement

ton to comply with instructions 10

chosen. There is an objection to this
plan, however, in that the second
meeting of the county assemblies nee
essarily would come in midsummer,
when the farmers could not conven-
iently leave their work
This is one of the details, however,
which will probably be left Tor the
consideration of the State Centrai
Committee. w. M. Cake, chairman OF
this organization, expects to call the
committee together early next month
when the situation will be canvasseo
thoroughly. The committee will be
expected to make recommendations
definitely outlining a plan for the or
ganization of county assemblies, tne
selection Of delegates to both state
and county assemblies, and the dates
that may be deemed advisable
for holding these gatherings

Morning oregonian Tells OF Dailas-
Multnomah Game.

. In a basketball game that was any
bodv's until the finish, the Multnomah
club team won from Dallas Collese
last night in the Multnomah gymnas-

ian. This was the first game Oh the
season for the clubmen.
The contest was rough ana tie
teams seemed to enjoy spilling thelr
opponents on the floor, but the re1eree
did not call many fouls. The Muitno-
nah boys played clean game during
the tirst half but in the second ADOPT

The Dallas players did not play up
to the mark set by last years cham-
pionship aggregation from the saIhe
institution. Shaw, one of the Dallas
stars last season, did not run over
Morris. the M. A. A. G. center, at any
stage of the game, although ms Worh
was consistent. Fenton was the star
performer of the game.
The Dallas boys excelled the Null
nomahs somewhat in general team
work. but most of the time were un-
able to negotiate with the basket. They
did their best work in the hrst nan
The score at the end OF the Hrs'
half was 6 to in favor of Multnoman
Tn the second half both teams ginger

Morris played star game tor th'
clubmen at center. Fischer, the lei
forward. was all over the field at TN

than any other player in the game.
Barton, who went in in themiddle 0
the second half, made spectacula

Precinct Vote Urged.

The general impression is that the
natural order to be pursued is Tor DEL
eeates to the county assemblies TO pe
hv Dreeinct vote of Republicans. When
the county assemblies have been thus
formed. it will be an easy matter lor
these gatherings to elect delegates 10
the state gathering. This plan is re-
garded by far the most feasible that
has been suggested, and with but few
executions it is approved heartily by
members of the party in all secuons
of the state.
Republicans of the state are also
generally agreed that the county as
semblies should be held not later than
during the month of June. Some
would have these gatherings held as
early as May. The date suggested oy
most members of the party Tor the
state assembly is July. This will give
the candidates recommended by the
state assembly about two months IN
which to make a canvas Of the state
before the primary nominating elec-
tion. which. will be held about SePtem-
her -.
some members Of the party are in
clined not to favor the recommenda'
ton by county assemblies OF eahoi'
dates for county Offices at their meet
ings in May OF June. This date
