quarters on the Coming
Primary Election

Pierre, Marh ia week more of
the primary campaign is yet ahead for
this state before the votes are cast,
but it is pretty safe to predict that
there is not likely to be any radical
changes in the situation from this
time on. The political roorback at
the close of a campaign is not likely
to get any votes, as the people look
upon last day statements with sus-
piciop.
The congressional contests appear to
be close in all the districts. In the
first there has been an opinion that
Dillon will win easily, but the indi-
cation now is that he has a fight on.
In the Second district the fight is a
close one so far az can be learned, with
both sides claiming certainty of sue
cess.
10 the Third district the indications
are for a close vote.
On the state and senatorial tickets
the indication appears to be that the
race will be close. The majority ticket
mas a long lead to sta1t with and the
cutting will have to be extensive to
leave these two behind. but past
primaries have all shown mixed
tickets, and the present campaign
may show the same result, but with
| the view that the majority has natur-
| ally the best of it on votes In the state
| with past campaigns to guide.

Omaha. Neb., March 7.-Garield
Elrington, a wealthy young farmer

Oregon Makes Gain In Population

: Certainly Oregon has no reason TO be
dissatisfied with the progress being
made in populating the state, since the
report recently issued by the State
Labor Commissioner at Salem indicates
that there are now 2,822 more resi-
dents in Oregon than when the 1910
cencus was compiled. Four years ago
there were 672, ,7O5 people in the state;
ms compared with 795, ,5S7 at this time.
The report was compiled from the en-
rollment and attendance figures of the
school department in each county.
The report indicates that the growth
in population is somewhat .'patchy"
throughout the state. some counties
have made remarkable advances while
others have grown but little, while In
several instances there seems TO have
been loss. Multnomsh county shows
the largest gain, 50,922, while Hood
River, Josephine, Morrow and Sherman
counties show population slightly
smaller than four years ago. Malheur
county shows a gain Of 6, 3l2, over sixty
per cent.

Improving Payette Valley Road

Actual work on the roadbed improve
ment of the Payette Valley railroad be-
tween Payette and New Plymouth was
commenced Tuesday morning at Pay
ette with force of 75 men. This force
will lay about one-half mile Of track a
day. Sixty-pound rails will replace the
light weight steel which was laid when
the road was built seven years ago. and
which for several years has been found
altogether too light for the traffic.
When the road was extended from this
point TO Emmett few years ago the
1Opound steel was laid. Hence when
the work is completed between here
and Payette the entire line will be in
first class condition, A work train will
go on at an early date and the roadbed
ballasted at different points along the
line.
