BELTS OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Makes Good Impression Among Vot
ers of Tillamook While Outing.

While on recent pleasure trip in
Tillamook county, Mr.. Harry H. Belt
republican nominee for circuit Judge
came in contact with large number
Of representative people of that Sec
tion, and from personal advices it is
known that he made an excellent i'm
preston with them While this is the
home county of his democratic oppo-
nent, Judge Holmes, it is predicted
that Mr.. Belt will receive a surpris-
ingly large vote there in the November
election. There is combination of
circumstances in Tillamook, and es-
pecially in the city, that do not augur
well for the success of the democratic
candidate for the judgeship. In Polk
county Mr.. Belt will receive the solid
republican vote, besides which a con-
siderable number of democrats who
appreciate his worth will not only
champion his claims, but will cast
their ballot for him. Yamhill may be
counted upon for large majority for
the Polk county man, and thus sizing
up the situation The Observer can see
no good reason why he should not be
elected by healthy majority.

the interest that they create in the

which is reached when the pennant for

which should be at general gather
ing of the people of the neighborhood.
Last week the county superinten-
dents of the state, in session at Sa-

the Standardization of rural and vii
lage schools which is ample proof
that the Standard School movement
has brought about only good results
where used.
Should you visit the schools of any
of the counties using the Standard
points you would find: (1) a spirit
of interest in the work being done and
you would probably be shown the set
of standard points posted on the
wall with the stars placed opposite
the points gained and informed very
carefully as to how they were going to
win the remaining points; (2) that
the pupils feel that any unnecessary
absence is a black mark for their
school; (3) that the room is properly
lighted and heated, neat and attrac-
tive, and has potted plants carefully
arranged; az that the grounds and
road are free from waste paper, sticks,
etc; (5) that the outbuildings are
clean and sanitary; (6) that the
school board has made regular visits
to the school and are taking a great
interest in the condition of their
school and the work being done; (0
that the people are proud Of their

WAR HAS EFFECT HERE.
Contracts for Prunes Held Up Await
ing Outcome of Pending Trouble.

The Armsby packing plant will re-
sumo operations about the middle of
September. As yet few prunes have
been contracted for on account of the
uncertainty of the market and the
small crops. Last year the company
shipped over a hundred carloads of
prunes, but this year it expects much
less than half that amount.
The number of prunes contracted
will be influenced greatly by the out
come of the present European crisis,
as most of the product is sold in Ger
many and other foreign countries.
Despite this fact, however, the Arms
by people expect to do better than
most of the plants throughout the
valley.
