Portland has approximately 225 900 population and half of
them and over are males 10000 male population
Now of these according to the average school census there
are 10000 under the age Of twenty-one years.
That would leave 1000 males Of voting age and yet at no
election has Portland cast over $4,000 votes
That would leave the small item of Al 900 males over twenty
one who do not register and do not vote.
The naturalization laws have been so tampered with that

II the claim is to be put up that
Purdy secured the deed through
fraud, then a suit brought against him
on a charge of this kind would ap-
pear to be the proper course.
The writer was in Portland two
days before Judge McGinn rendered
his decision, and at a table in a res
taurant heard Attorney Idleman dis
cusslng the Wlnters-Purdy case with
another attorney. We had paid little
attention to the case up to this time,
and consequently had no opinion re-
garding the merits Of 1t, but were
forcibly impressed with the belief that
Mr.. Idleman had no hope of winning
the case.
The outcome Of this much talked
about matter, which is now in the
hands of the highest tribunal in the
state, will be watched with a great
deal of interest, and, while we are
not lawyer, neither the son of a
lawyer, we shall not be surprised to
hear'of McGinn being reversed by the
court.

viii Hurt the Schools.

/ wish to write word about Char
ley Jones, and the part he is taking in
local school matters in this city.
Mr.. Jones runs a teachers employ
ment agency. Now this means that
each and every teacher who secures a
position in our schools through Mr..
Jones will have to pay Mr.. Jones five
per cent of his first years salary. If
Mr.. Jones could, therefore, place 10 or
IL teachers in the Salem schools each
year. that would mean a pretty snug
income for Mr.. Jones.
1t now develops that Mr.. Jones is in
close communication with one or two
of the dominating factions" of the
school board. He was visited by one
of them last Wednesday evening, 1t is
said, and Mr., Jones eagerly discussed
with him some of his candidates"
OF course, Mr.. Jones favors the
dominating faction of the school
board The dominating faction" of
the school board can use Mr.. Jones
occasionally to defend them in the To-
cal papers. And of course, quite nat
urally, Mr., Jones can use the "domln-
ating faction" of the school board to
increase quite materially his tariff up
on teachers who may be so fortunate
as to secure a position in the Salem
schools through his teachers employ
ment agency This sort of nasty ma
nipulations is going to ruin our
schools. A PATRON.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
EXHIBIT CAR
VISITED BY MANY

The Nohtren Pacific exhibit car that
was here yesterday, left St Paul,
Mimi, December 4, covered a terri
tory between there and Chicago, show
ing at about 80 towns and then back
from Chicago to Omaha, Neb, then
south to Kansas City, Mo, then Gov
cred all the line of the Katy, going
down to Adair and Pryor and on down
to Denison, Tex. The car is a 75-foot
car, the best of it's kind on the road
The products are gathered from all
along the Northern Pacific railway
from Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
The men in charge were NJ. A. Begg
and Carl J. Winbauer, both from st.
Paul and they did there best in ex-
planning where the products were
raised and tell what their country is
good for. They were very well pleas
ed with the way the people turned out
at Vinita. 1t is estimated that about
$500 people visited the car.
Some of the attractions in the car
were the fine apples raised in the
Yakima Valley, Wash, and many
other various fine fruits that were pre-
served in glass jars that were raised
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Another one of the attractions was
the large Washington and Montana
potatoes, weighing from one and one
half to three pounds, yielding all the
way from IT'S to $50 bushels to the
acre, raised by irrigation. The grasses,
and small grains such as wheat, oats,
barley and speltz, raised by irrigation
and dry farming methods. Dry farm
ing or Campbell scientific farming is
a success in eastern Montana or CEN
tral Oregon, on land that can be home
steaded in either territory at 800
acre entry.
What raised in eastern Montana by
the dry farming method makes from
26 to 45 bushels to the acre, oats, 35
to 80 bushel to the acre, and wheat
raised in Washington and Montana by
irrigation, 40 to 65 bushels to the
acre and oats from IS to 10 bushels
