auttered Bread With His Thumb.


Cats meat is the only survival Of a
way of serving meat that prevailed in
this country before the introduction
Of forks. for it was the custom in
medieval times to serve roast meat on
a spit and to pass it around the table
for each guest to cut off what he
liked, method that did not allow one
person only to secure the carver's tit
bits. In France one still finds chicken
livers and bacon served on small spits.
and to the Britisher it always suggests
at first sight the food of the domestic
cat. 1t is probable that many people
continued to prefer fingers to table
utensils. even after these were perfect
ed and in general use, for knivls were
certainly invented at the period when

APPLE MARKET STEADY
Western Growers Will Sell EARLY And
Avoid Slumps

A satisfactory apple market is ex-
pected this season. Owing to the full
crop in the West the growers seem
disposed to sell early and there is no
danger of a repetition of last years
slump at the close because of big
carry-over of storage stock. While
prices may not everage as high as last
year, the greater volume of the trade
will make the season profitable one
to the growers.
The figures of the Agricultural De-
partment of condition on August 1
compared with last year and the To-
year average in the leading APPLE
producing states have been compiled
by the Los Angeles Cold Storage Com
pany in a circular to the trade, as

Jay Bowerman, assembly candidate,
on a count of approximately two
thirds of the vote cast in the primary
election of Saturday, has won the
nomination for governor of Oregon
by a plurality of $500 to 1000 over
Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon City, with
Ernest Hofer, of Salem, third and
Albert Abraham, of Roseburg, fourth.
The returns seem to indicate con-
clusively the defeat of Ralph w. Hoyt,
the assembly candidate for State
Treasurer, by Thomas B. Kay, by a
majority of 1000.
Outside Counties Defeat HOyt.
Mr.. Hoyt in Multnomah County has
received majority over Kay of more
than 1900, but the returns from other
counties so far received show that
Kay is leading throughout the re-
mainder of the state and has over
come the Multnomah lead and has
1900 advantage over his opponent.
The returns for Multnomah County
are more nearly complete than from
the other portions of the state so that
if the proportion of votes cast for the
counties Kay will increase this lead
materially.
On the vote so far as counted, f. w.
Benson, assembly candidate for Sec
retary of State, has lead of more
than 5000 over G. Wingate, and his
majority will probably roll up to more
than 10000.
CrawfOrd's 10000 Lead Growing.
For Attorney General, A. M. Craw-
ford, on the latest returns, shows a
majority over ]. N. Hart, the assem-
bly, candidate, of about 10000 which
will be increased by the belated re-
turns
w. S. Duniway, the present State
Printer, has also defeated w. j.
Clarke, assembly candidate, by wide
margin. Duniway now shows a major
ity of more than 5000 over Clarke, and
each later report increases Duniway's
lead.

If the counties of smaller popula-
tion show on a complete count the
same relative difference between the
two men Hoff will have won the con-
lest by about $50 votes. Orton has
had his principal strength in the town
and city precincts and from these the
vote is more complete than from the

ion No. 1. ]. T. Chinook has strong
lead over F. K Gettin and is undoubt-

For Representative in Congress
from the First District the incomplete
returns give w c. Hawley a majority
over b. F. Mulkey of 1916, but in
these figures less than two-thirds of
the vote cast is represented. on the
final returns. estimating the vote on
the way it is shown in the incomplete
figures, Representative Hawley will be
nominated for reelection by a major
ity over his opponent by approximate
ly 5000.
In the Second Congressional District
Representative Ellis is defeated for
for reelection by between
2 500 and 5000 by A w. Lafferty, as
now indicated. On the vote so far re-
