A neat booklet entitled "Walnu
Growing in Oregon" has been ISSUED
by the Oregon Railroad and Naviga.
ton Company and the Southern Pa
cific lines The text was prepared by
]. c. Cooper, of McMinnville, brother
of j. s. Cooper, of Polk County. Mr..
Cooper has made an exhaustive study
of walnut growing, and it has been
largely through his announcement
that Yamhill County has been made
the leading walnut county of Oregon.
What he has to say in this booklet will
be OF great value to persons desiring
to engage in nut culture. The little
volume contains practically all of the
information that a walnut grower will
need before and after engaging in
the industry 1t lis beautifully Illus
trated and will prove an effective ad-
vertisement for Oregon in the Eastern
States, where 1t will doubtless be Civ

WHAT CONTEST REALLY MEANS

| The issue of the forthcoming Re.
publican primary campaign is not tc
be the assembly" 1t is going to be
Bourne and Bourneism. The doni.
nance of Bourne over the affairs of
the party is to be accepted, or II ,s
to be rejected by the Republican vot-
ers. This noisy and insincere howl
about the assembly is manufactured to
disguise the designs of Bourne and his
faithful political procurers to capture
the party organization and perpetuate
the Bourne machine.
Watch the progress of events
throughout the state You will see
Bourne getting behind the candidates
who are opposed to assembly. You
viii see his employed agents busy
everywhere. You will see signs of his
money pouring into many channels. |
You will see backroom assemblies
meeting to put up states acceptable
o Bourne. You will read In friendly
newspapers the inspired claptrap and
rigmarole about Statement
Io. 1. You will see a lot of skv-
footing around in the interest of
iourne's Senatorial candidacy by per

Editorials Written ON Foolscap.


Mr.. McCown accordingly solicited
MI Scott for editorial contributions
and was supplied for the next issue
with editorial matter covering three
foolscap sheets of paper. Mr.. Scott
filled the editorial columns the next
day and the day following.
In the meantime Mr.. McCown had
received from Salem what was appar-
emily intended for editorial copy
bearing the signature of Samuel A.
Clarke. Mr.. Clarke had at times con-
tributed news articles on mining to
the Oregonian but had never been
called on for editorials. No explana-
ton accompanied the Salem letter.
and Mr.. McCown hung the communi-
cation on the hook and continued to
wait on Mr.. Scott. On the next day
came another editorial from Mr..
Clarke and still no explanation and
again it was consigned to the hook.
while Mr.. Scott's editorials were used 1
in the Oregonian.
on the third day, however, a letter
came from Mr.. Pittock instructing
Mr.. McCown to publish the editorials y
submitted by Mr.. Clarke and a few ID
days later Mr. Clarke appeared in 3
person to take editorial charge of II
the Oregonian. t'
AT that time Mr.. Pittock and Mr. u
Scott were unacquainted and Mr.. Pit 81
lock did not know that Mr.. Scott had
been contributing editorials to his -

Mr.. Clarke retired as editor early in o'

Pears as Noted as Apples.

In reading of the Portland Apple
Show in the Oregonian a short time
ago noted that only apples were pro.
vided for Oregon is noted in Europe
Tor its great pears as we'll as its an
pies. oregon can produce Fall and
Winter pears as fine as any district in
the world and there should be entered
into at an early date a welI-organized
system of encouraging the production
OF fancy pears in the state.
All the fruit dealers in this part of
the world are crying for more Oregon
pears. The French pears are generally
very fine and bring a high price in the
British markets, but none of them are
superior to the same kind of pear
shipped into this market from the
State of Oregon. On the completion
or the Panama Canal the City of Port
land can be made the center of a
great pear shipping district and i'm
mediate paintings of varieties fitted
to the climatic conditions of the coun- |
try as well as the markets of Europe |
should be encouraged.
While members of the Commercial
Club refuse to admit that pear culture
in this state has been neglected, they
believe that many of its possibilities
have been overlooked and state that.
with the promises of European mar
Sets implied by these letters, this in
iustry will receive more attention.
