Canada to "Win or Die"

New York = "There is no doubt in
the minds of Canadians Of the result Of
the war; but should the British En-
pire fall it would not affect any Of us
in Canada, for in that event we should
all be dead and should know nothing
about it., said Arthur L. Sifton, prime
minister of Alberta, who was the guest
of honor at dinner of the Canadian
club here. There is no doubt that we
must give every possible aid to carry
the war to successful end. 1t may be
matter Of years; but when the wan
is over Canada will be the gamer"

herd of cattle at Como is being inves-

Department officials said they had
been unable to account Tor the peculiar
virulence of the disease in the present
outbreak, the most serious in the coun-
try's history. Another thing that is
puzzling the experts is the fact that a
larger portion Of swine have been af-
fected than in previous epiidemics.

FIRST REPORTS
BEING SUSTAINED
Chamberlain Wins Over Booth
by $4,000 Plurality.
Prohibition Carries EUery County
Except MuItnomah- Initiative
Measures Mostly Lost.

Portland Election returns collected
from the state and Multnomah county
and compiled late Wednesday night
leave hardly shred of doubt as to the
fate of any issue before the people.
George E. Chamberlain is elected to
the United States senate by a large
plurality over R. A. Booth, his Repub-
lican opponent. If the ratios are not
changed in the complete returns it
may reach $4,000.
DR.. James Withycombe has received
a plurality for governor probably larg-
er than ever given candidate for that
office in the state. 1t will range above
10000 if the present ratios are con-
tinued.
On the state and Supreme court tick
cts the Republican candidate have
been easy winners.
There has been tremendous protest
against the abuse of the initiative.
Every measure except two seems to
have been defeated, some of them by
vote as high as six to one.
Only Prohibition and the amend
ment changing the qualifications of
voters have pulled through, but both
of those have received large majorties.
Oregon has spoken for dry state
with an emphatic voice. The majority
in favor of the amendment, it is now
indicated, will go higher than 10000.
With the exception of Multnomah,
every county in the state has given a
majority for the amendment, unless
preliminary returns are grossly de-
ceiving.
The state at large will overwhelm
the majority Multnomah county has
given against the amendment, for if
the complete returns show no change
in the trend of votes the state will
come up to Multnomah county with a
possible majority for the amendment
of 40, 900.
If there is any measure aside from
these two which has a chance of adop'
tion it is the amendment authorizing
the merging of contiguous cities ant
towns.
On several measures, such as the
normal school bills, the dentistry bill
and city and county consolidation
Multnomah county has given small
affirmative majorities, but it is prac
tically certain that these majoritieI
will be swept away by the upstat'
vote.

Turk Plumbers Armenian.

London = In a dispath from Tiflis,
trans Caucasia, coming by way of
Petrograd, the Daily Telegraph's cor
respondent says: 'The Turkish Ar
menians were pitilessly plundered on
the eve of the war. Hundreds were
arrested. The arrival of the Russian
troops was greeted enthusiastically in
those neighborhods, where harvesting
now has been resumed. Large num-
bers Of Armenian refugees have reach
ed Odessa seeking enrolment in the
Russian army. They will be enrolled
as a special corps to the Caucasus.

HopgrOwers of Oregon
Meet for Organization

adopted, the association contemplates
making an arrangement which will put
an end to the contracting of hops and
give to the grower the best prices. 1t
will arrange to advance sufficient
money to growers who have not the
necessary capital for cultivating and
harvesting of crops. Another resolu-
tion which was adopted urges all grow
ers to hold their hops of the present
year until the organization of the Coast
association is completed. 1t is be-
lieved that by doing SO better prices
than now prevail will be received.

Salem Having as its purpose the
safeguarding Of the interests of its
members, the Oregon Hopgrowers'
association was organized here one
day this week at a meeting Of about
125 growers. 1t is planned for dele

tions organized in Washington and
California to meet here the latter part
of November and organize the Pacific

London - A wireless dispatch re-
ceived here by the Marconi Wireless
Telegraph company from Berlin says:
"Admiral Craddock's fleet has been
annihilated in the Pacific by the Ger
mans. The losses on our side amount
ed to only few wounded and the dam
age to our ships was insignificant.
"This engagement was in striking
contrast to the British vessels coast
hunting exploits in search Of German
cruisers.

Petrograd- ad-Grand Duke Nicholas has
received from Earl Kitchener, the
British secretary Of State for war, a
telegram conveying the congratulations
of himself and Field Marshal French

SALE OF LIQUOR Is NOW
PROHIBITED in IA STATES


hibiting the sale Of alcoholic beverages
as the result Of Tuesdays election, on
the face of the late returns, which
show that prohibition was adopted in
Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Col
orado. The states which prohibit the
sale of liquor are: Arizona, Okla
homa, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas,
Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, West
Virginia, North Dakota, Virginia.
Alabama once adopted prohibition
amendment, but later rescinded it.
South Carolina is largely SO under
various acts. A score of states have
local option laws.
Seven states voted on the question
of woman suffrage Tuesday. In two
the suffrage cause won, while in five
it was rejected. Montana and Nevada
grated the franchise to women. Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio
and South Dakota voters declined to do
so.
The II states, with the time of
granting the franchise, are: Wyom-
ing, 1890; Colorado, 1898; Idaho,
1898; Utah, 1896; Washington, 1910;
California, 1912; Arizona, 1912; Kan
sas, 1912; Oregon, 1912; Nevada,
1914; Montana, 1914.
Portland-A surprising result of the
later returns was the revelation that
Multnomah has Joined the sisterhood
of counties and swung into the dry"
column. Multnomah was the last
county to report and makes the verdict
in favor of prohibition, by counties,
unanimous in the state.
With only parts of two precincts
missing the vote on this issue now is:
For prohibition, 1858; against pro-
hibition, 36,202. Majority for, 1856.
| Seattle, Wash. Late figures indi-
cate the majority for prohibition will
be closer to $1,000 than $4,000. The
majority for the drys increased stead
lily as the returns were received from
the outlying precincts. With one pre-
cinct missing, it is indicated that King
county gave the vets a majority Of
15, 706. This is somewhat less thar
the anti-prohibitionists had figured
and saloon men feel that this county
should have done better by them. Tht
figures for 407 out Of 408 precincts il
' King county on the amendment wer,
/ 34, 1922 for and so, 028 against.
Satisfaction is expressed here Il
many quarters that Oregon also wa
carried for the drys, since, it is con
/ tended, that puts Oregon at the sam
economic disadvantage as Washington
! in reference to adjacent wet common
wealths. 1t is asserted here that tn
effect of the conflict between the word
, ing of the prohibition measure and th'
state constitution relative to the TIM
of effectiveness of the act will meal
that, while, under the constitution, tn,
act must be effective within 80 day
, after its passage, the clause in th'
bill providing that the measure is no
, to go into effect until January l, 1916
simply has the effect of preventing thu
{ imposing of any penalty for violation
/ during the coming year.

Bills

New York, Sept. 10.-PreSident
Percival S. Hill of The American
Tobacco Company, has sent the fol-
lowing notice to all the cOmpanyS
customers in Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Miss
issippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Tex
as.
I'VE have become aware of the
embarrassment brought on the
cotton growing sections by the
European War, and the resulting
inability to market cotton crops.
We earnestly hope and believe that
this embarrassment is temporary.
We are earnestly anxious, though
to contribute, so far as we can, to
the relief of it. On that account
we will permit our customers in
the States above mentioned to dis
count their bills, on account of
purchases made hereafter, within
ten days after October IS, 1914.
This applies to all purchases of all
our lines, and whether of drop
shipments or stock shipments"

Value Of Newspapers

There is no doubt but that il we
could get teachers in all our
country schools to reading good
f arm papers, we would have an
AGRICULTURAL revolution in mighty
little while. The educational value
of newspapers indeed, is by no
means appreciated as it should be,
Three good newspapers in a home
in the course of a year, will be,
worth amonths schooling to the
children. We only recently came
across this testimony given by
Daniel Webster;
Every parent whose son is away
from home at school should supply
him with a newspaper, remember
what marked difference there was
between those of my schoolmates
who had and who had not access
to newspapers. Other things being
equal the first were always superior
to the last in debate, in composition
and in general intelligence"
And if your boy is at home he
ought to read the best paper

rumored that last weeks issue of
the Record failed to come out on
account of not wanting to publish
a piece had that | wanted publish
ed in favor of my candidacy. Now
| know nothing at all Of any such
intentions of the Record. So far as
| know it is all an entire mistake. AL
| know in regard to the Records not
coming out last week is this, was
at Hardy last week and phoned to
Mr.. Coger and asked him ii he was
going to Get his paper out and he
'phoned to me that he could not
on account of no help. then told
him that next week would do me as
well if he could get it out then,
appreciate Mr.. Cogers abs solute-
ly fair way in which he has dealt
with my opponent and me in this
campaign.
