tofore the Oregon state election has
been held in June. A total of thirty
six governors are to be elected this
fall. Thirty.two will be voted for at
the general elections in November.
Three states--Vermont, Maine aid
Arkansas-will vote for governor
next month, and Georgia will elect its
executive in October. The guberna-
torial contests in several states are
of a more than ordinarily interesting
character. The elections in others
will be of purely perfunctory char
acter, the election of the republican
or the democratic candidate, as the
case may be. being a foregone con-
clusion. Socialists and prohibition
lists will have candidates for governor
in a majority of the states, and in sew
eral they are expected to poll a large
vote.

west lost it's crop almost entirely.
Potatoes are smaller in yield-again
the influence of the alternate cold and
dry seasons. While the production
will fall below last years excessive
crop, the total will be above the ten
year average of 27S,OO0,O00 bushels,
and there is no cause to anticipate
excessive prices or famine shortage Of
supply.
The south promises better cotton
crop than last year. but the south Is
breaking away from the domination
of this one staple; the boil weevil
and the uncertainty of last years crop
led to a larger wheat acreage and a
greatly increased corn acreage.
Yields Of both these grains have been
phenomenally large. especially corn,
the southern states almost doubling
the crop Of last year, and the value
thereof more than exceeds the differ
ence between a bumper and a short
cotton crop. The southern states are
promising to take more important
place in the agricultural production OF
the country, since it has been found
that oats, corn, wheat and alfalfa pay
better for the investment and the la
Dor than cotton. The diversification
of crops may impair the worlds cot
ton supply, but it will make the south
as strong and as certain each year OF
profitable farming as the north and
west
The berry crop was reduced by the
cold spring, the fruit crop in many
sections being hurt by the late frosts,
but these are minor farm products.
The country is so large and conditions
80 varied that the favored sections
find in their fruit crop a compensa-
ton for the curtailment OF other
produce, and the unfavored their COM
pensation in the great yields OF the
cereals.
While there Is disappointment in
some localities, it is to be remem-
bered that crop damage somewhere
is the common order of nature, and
that average crops have been the
basis of our past prosperity. The
crops of 1910 will show a good aver
age yield, and fully support the buy
ing power of the great agricultural
districts.

COUNTY COMMITTEES.

The Napoleon Homestead has a
kick on the part of the primary elec-
; ton law fixing representation on
county committees. The Homestead
says:
! In the last general election the fol-
lowing was the result Of the vote on
governor in Mcintosh and Logan coun-
ties:
Logan. Mcintosh.
Johnson, republican -. 7O8 679
Burke. democrat 1863 1896
We present the above figures in Or
der to show the shalloWness OF the
primary law in the matter OF repre-
sentation in district political matters.
In the joint convention held here
Monday of this week, Mcintosh had
fourteen delegates and Logan had but
nine, the basis of representation be-
ing one delegate for each voting pre-
kinct in each county. Each county
has the same number OF townships
and about the same number of voters,
with the exception that Logan has
more republican votes, yet under the
fake law we now have Mcintosh coun-
ty is enabled to come here and con-
troll our district convention simply
because they have more voting pre-.
cincts. We don't blame Mcintosh
county-we blame the fool law which
brings about such an unfair condition,
which law apparently works in the
interest of the rich man and the
democrats. But then the poor demo-
Gratis are entitled to some considera-
ton, we presume, in order that the
party may not become extinct. IT the
basis of representation is to be made
on voting precincts, it Is up to our
county to establish another batch OF
'em in order to compete with our wise
neighbors to the south.

BED ROCK PLANNING.

Grand Forks Herald: A local bank
er told the Herald story yesterday
morning which is worthy OF some
comment. The name of the banker
and that of the farmer who figures
in the story do not matter, and 1t
would not be proper to publish eth.
er, but the story, which is that of an
actual occurrence, is of some import
ance.
When it first became evident that
the crop was actually and seriously
damaged, this farmer went to the
bank where he had small savings
account, and drew out all his cash to
settle various small bills and he fore
saw close times and wished to get
onto cash basis. A little later he
dropped in and asked for a small loan
with which to stock up with flour
for the year, as he anticipated a ma.
terial advance, and the saving of even
small sums was important. He was
accommodated, as he was a steady
and reliable man.
The other day he came in and asked
the privilege of paying his note in
advance of maturity In order to save
a part of the interest. Satisfactory
settlement was made, and the banker
asked how the cash had been raised
so soon. The farmer said that he was
threshing, and had some wheat, and
to his establishment his wheat was
running from 10 to 20 bushels per
acre, and he said that within very
short time he would be able to begi1
depositing again.
Neither the banker nor anyone else
wishes it understood that the large
yield in this case is at all typical.
While the improved yield is important
to that particular individual, and very
satisfactory, it is but an incident.
The really important fact is the care
full preparation that had been made
for hardship in advance, and the sur
prisingly good condition in which the
farmer finds himself after summer

agement. This sort of thing has been
going on all over the northwest. The
unfavorable prospects came so early
in the season that there had not been
time for farmers, merchants, bankers
~or anybody else to launch out into
the liberal expenditures which would
have been encouraged by the prospect
of a big crop. The conditions have
been discounted and doubly discount
ed in every line of business. We have
been, living close and trimming all
the corners, and generally speaking
the country has made such elaborate
and careful preparation for hard
times that it is going to find itself

MAKING A GOAT OF THE AUTO.

Harper's Weekly doesn't believe in
making the auto the goat" OF our
financial troubles, and in recent Is
sue says:
Bankers have declared war on the
Observation-Disclosures of the east as
we'll as of the west and south. Or
ders have been issued quite generally
to loan no more money to be used
in purchase Of cars. The reason as
signed is that motoring has become
"an extravagant, wasteful craze
which must be checked or the coun'
try will go to the bow.wows. Maybe
so: but we don't believe it. No doubt
a good many people buy automobiles
who can not safely afford to do So
A few, perhaps, as the Mortified bank
ers say, have mortgaged their homes
to pay for them. Others have failed
to take into account the cost of up
keep. Grant all that! They will
learn, won't they? And if their ex-
perience proves to be dear, they are
the ones who will have to stand 1t,
aren't they? To argue that money
tightness is due to the great sums
invested in cars is nonsense. The dol
lars paid go to the manufacturers,
and by them are distributed among
their workmen and discussed for ma
terials. They neither leave the coun-
try or go up in smoke. They merely
change hands and find their way
through various channels from one
back to another. Nor is it true that,
as a rule, the motor is luxury. A
vast majority of the 100000 machines
made this year go to farmers, small
tradesmen, doctors and lawyers
throughout the country. They sup
plant horses because they are more
efficient. They earn and save money
quite ~ often as they induce the
squandering of it. Probably three
fifths or more are cared for and op'
Grated by their owners, who buy cheap
gasoline instead of dear oats. Quite
likely they have not yet attained
their full value in economics. That
takes time. But they are getting
there and are bound to reach the goal
as certain as the steam railway car
supplanted the stage coach. Best OF
all. better even than the commercial
advantages derived from their use,
they are fetching comparatively iso-
lated folks into contact with their
fellows. The curse of the country,
everybody knows, is the constant MI
grafton from farm to town. Well,
VIA: causes it? Lonesomeness. We
are a gregarious people and don't like
to live alone. 1t is clear that what
ever contributes to strike at the root
of this baneful tendency by making
for contentment on the farm is good
thing. The telephone has done won
ders along this line. The automobile
is doing more. 1t ought to be en-
couraged, not cut off like sore fin
ger, But can the farmers afford It?
Probably not in all cases. Many may
buy a little ahead of time to please
the children. But the American far
mer is not a Ounce. He knows what
he can afford as we'll as the banker,
who is the real profligate, with his
