WANTS GOOD ORGANIZATION.
Republican County Committee May
Convene During Present Month,

Although the primary election is
long way off, there is talk of can
didates to fill the various county Of
fees, and with this talk comes call
for meeting of the County Central
committee, which will probably be
called by Chairman Hampton for the
latter part of the month. Already the
State Central committee is at work,
and leading republicans Of Polk coun-
ty are Of the belief that the local
body should hold an early meeting
and arrange for the election of pre-
cinct committeeman for the forty-two
precincts Of the county, who are to
be elected in the primary next spring.
The precinct being the unit, the sug-
gestion is considered a good one, and
will doubtless be acted upon by the
central committee. Last years or
ganization was the best the republi-
cans of Polk county have had for
many years, and it is the purpose of
Mr.. Hampton to make this organiza-
ton still more effective in the coming
election.
The local offices to fill will be that
of sheriff, treasurer, clerk, school su-
perintendent, assessor and county sur
veyor John w. Orr will be a candi-
date to succeed himself, while Fred
j. Holman will seek the place of coun-
ty clerk, as will also DR.. Charles
Dunsmore of Independence. H. c..
Seymour will probably be nominated
to the office which he now holds.
Mention of possibles for the other
places have not assumed anything
like shape as yet, but several have
been fixing their fences for the as
sessorship. The county treasurer's
Office may go begging, inasmuch as
the salary connected Herewith is not
Of sufficient inducement to bring out
aspirants. When the present incum-
bent was elected the office paid some
thing like $500 per year, but since
then. because of tax collections hav-
ing been transferred to-, the sheriff's
office, the salary has been reduced
one-half.

Harry A. Woods underwent very
critical operation at the Dallas hos
pital on Wednesday, when an ulcer in
the stomach and the appendix were
removed. Mr.. Wood has bean suffer
ing for several months with the pains
incident to these growths, but he is
rallying splendidly after the opera
tion. DIR. A. B. Starbuck says hi. pa
tient will be in the hospital for about
three weeks. His many friends will
be visitors at Mr.. Woods bedside as
soon as his condition permits.

SPRAY SAVES DAMAGE
FRUITMAN TELLS HOW TO PRE-
VENT DISEASE TO TREES.
Marion County Inspector Consults Au-
thorities and Gives Out valu-
able Information.

The following article written by G.
0. Constable, Marion county fruit in
spector and published in The Journal,
is of special interest to fruit grow
ers and particularly those owning
prune orchards:
Owing to the loss to the growers by
brown rot, cylindrosporium leaf spot
and the synetta albida insect during
the past season have taken the mat
ter up for our mutual interest, with
Professor Barss and Professor Posey
of the Oregon Agricultural college,
with view of learning the best meth
cd of control. Unless you have OBJ
served very carefully you do not real
ize the extent of damage that has
been done by the above.
The cylindrosporium leaf spot by
causing the leaves and fruit to fall in
mid summer, the loss of fruit and un-
marketable condition at drying time
by brown rot, and the eaten foliage
and one sided imperfect and unmar-
ketable cherries and prunes by the
synetta albida bug. We have out
lined for the orchards that | am in
terested in as follows:
Cylindrosporium Leaf Spots--Plow
all leaves under as deep as the roots
will permit soon as possible.
Spray-Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50
when leaves first appear. Bordeaux
mixture 4-4-50 every three weeks un-
til rainy season is over.
Brown Rot-Bordeaux mixture "a
so when buds first open. Bordeaux
mixture 4-4-5O soon has petals fall.
Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50 three weeks
later. Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50 one
month before picking time.
Synetta Albida-When this bug ap-
pears we will add to the above sprays,
two pounds of arsenate of lead to so
gallons of the Bordeaux mixture,
which we think will control it at the
same time we are spraying for the
other trouble. In fact we believe that
the spraying can be so timed that the
three can be controlled at the same
,nrayinps.

ELECTRICAL PROSPERITY WEEK
A. L. Martin Tells of Significance of
National Celebration.

Electrical interests in Dallas and
elsewhere are preparing, with much
ceremony and publicity, for the cele-
bration of Electrical Prosperity week,
one of the most important events in
business year for power companies
and electrical supply houses. Electri-
cal Prosperity week is to take the
form of nationwide educational
campaign in the advantages of electri-
cal equipment. "The week will be de-
voted" says A. L. Martin of the Ore
gon Power company, "to acquaint the
public with the new and up-to-date
uses for electricity in home, store, Of
fee and factory. Every possible form
of advertising, including bill boards,
window displays and newspapers, will
be used to attract public attention to
this week, and to prompt people to
ask questions about electricity and
about electrical appliances. The field
is one of great opportunities, and the
inquirer is bound to be made enthus-
iastic by what he learns.
"The wonderful developments in
the uses Of electricity have come along
so rapidly that it has been impossible
to keep the people informed. Elee-
trical interests have not been able to
keep pace with the growing interest.
Not only these things, but Electrical
Prosperity week will mean a shop
early opportunity. The week Of No
vember % to December 4, inclusive,
will be Electrical Prosperity week.
That is just three weeks before
Christmas and will give people a.
chance to select electrical gifts under
the most favorable conditions"

Holbrook Asks Reparation.

Because his horse was killed and
his buggy demolished and severe per-
sonal injuries received as result Of
colliding with a Ford, L. A. Hol-
brook of Monmouth has filed suit in
the circuit court against Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Nelson of Salem. Holbrook
alleges that Harry Nelson, young son
of defendants, was driving at an ex-
cessive speed on the Salem-Indepen-
dence road on October l, when he hit
the Holbrook buggy. The complain
ant asks for $500 damage FOR properly
loss and $500 for personal injuries.

EXTENSION OF SERVICE
OREGON POWER CONSIDERS
BUILDING TO BUENA VISTA.
High Tension Line Would Afford
Light and Power Facilities to
Many Extensive Farmers.

The Oregon Power company is con-
sidering the advisability of extending
its service to Buena Vista from In
dependence, supplying that place and
farmers along the route, with electri-
cal energy for light and power pur-
poses, and will probably build a high
tension cable between the places mem
toned, provided fifty consumers sign
an agreement to use juice for GER
tain period. Manager Martin attend
ed meeting of the farmers and citi-
zens of Buena Vista at what is known
as the Bottom school house the other
night, and the interest manifested in
the project by the residents of that
section indicated that they are ear
nestly in favor of introducing the
modern method. Nearly fifty people
were in attendance, and with very few
exceptions all signified their intention
of becoming identified with the under
taking.
1t is the purpose Of the company to
build light and power line from In
dependence to Buena Vista, via the
lower road, the farmers to make con-,
nections therewith at their own ex-
pense. At the meeting Mr.. Martin
surprised those present by offering to
build the line between the two points
without cost ITO those to be served,
the only condition being that his com
pany be given fifty patrons for spec
flied time. Those who had taken the
matter up with him entertained The
proposition most favorably, and are
now engaged in securing the required
number of consumers, in which they
expect to experience little or no diff
Guilty.
The proposed line would serve some
of the largest ranches of the county,
passing through the rich bottom lands
of the Willamette river, where extern
sive hop yards are maintained. One of
these is the Wigrich ranch, of which
Major Rose is manager, and wke is
one of the most enthusiastic support
ers of the enterprise. Mr.. Fred West
went over the proposed route on Mon
day, and interviewed a number Of the
farmers who contemplate introducing
electrical service, and if the project
reaches successful consummation he
will probably connect most of the
properties adjacent to the line there
with.
This is plan which Manager Mar
tin has been working on for some
time past, and the construction of the
proposed line to Buena Vista, and
furnishing service to farmers, will
mean that other sections of the coun-
ty will eventually follow in the wake
of the enterprising tillers of the soil
in this locality. The Oregon Power
company's plant in Dallas is of suffic-
lent capacity to care for the entire
surrounding country. At present it
furnishes electrical energy for light
and power in this city, Independence
and Monmouth, between which points
the farmers along the high tension
line have an opportunity to secure am
pie service for the operation of farm
and the lighting of their
homes, dairy barns and outbuildings.

Cooperative Egg Marketing.

~ Cooperative marketing of eggs has
been taken up by the Lane County
Pomona grange. The market commit
tee of that Body has made arrange
ments to buy all the eggs the members
have to offer, the scheme being financ-
ed by a local bank. The highest
market price prevailing in Eugene
will be paid for the eggs. They will
then be candled and graded and'ship-
ped in bulk to the city, where the
market is best. The money received
over the price paid by the local com
mittee will be distributed among the
farmers who furnished the eggs.

est and cheapest bunk of all, and
was at that time recommended for
adoption. 1t was adopted officially
by the Southern Pacific company, and
is in use by many other railroads
throughout the country. The Gerling-
er bunk can be tripped from the op-
posite Of the car and thus avoids any
possible danger to the operator. At
the time of the tests at Willsburg
the Gerlinger dump unloaded five and
six carloads of logs while other con-
trivances were unloading one car. Mr..
Gerlinger is working on several other
patents that seem to be equally rs
useful as is the log bunk.

dents of departments are requested to
meet at the home of the president,
Mrs. A. S. Campbell, next Monday
evening at 7 o'clock, to discuss plans
of work for the coming year. 1t is
hoped that all the members of this
committee will be present. At the
regular business meeting last Monday
it was decided to let each department
have charge Of one social meeting
during the year that there may be a
better understanding in general Of the
work.

No Poultry Show,

The report, originating in the fer

foundation of fact. When the Poul-
try show was consolidated with the
county fair, the January event was

Polk Saves the Valley

Polk was the only county west Of
the Cascades to receive recognition at
the Land show, four Eastern Oregon
counties having been awarded prizes.
Polk, in getting second place, should
be congratulated for saving the Will

We VIII Have a Honey Day.

Floyd E. Smith, secretary of the
Oregon State Bee-Keepers' associa-

November 25, Thanksgiving day, has
been set aside by bee-keepers as ma

try is one of the most important Of
the smaller industries in this state
and the interest that will be aroused
in the product through the observance
of honey day will be a good thing for
bee-keepers.
