Oregon s 1916 fruit crop will net

ing altogether, the crop was worth
81 100000 more than in any previous
year. The apple crop proved to be bet
ter than had been anticipated The
total shipping crop is estimated at
about 5000 ears. On account of the
continued ear shortage, a large pro-
portion of the crop remains vet to be
moved. While apples head the list in

first rank for the amount of outside

Canada Will Decide
COnsCriptiOn by Ballot

Montreal, Que, Dec. 17.-Canada is
voting on conseription to-day. The un-
ion government, headed by Sir Rob-
ert Borden, is up for reelection. 1t IS
opposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's lib.
erals who are pledged to delay opera
ton of the conscription law, put
throngh by the unionists.
The votes of 250,000 Canadian SOL
diers in the trenches and of the women
relatives of those troops may decide
the issue. These women relatives were
recently enfranehised and are casting
their first ballots today.
The union fight has been made on
the ground that defeat of conscription
now, after it has been enacted and af-
ter the first call for troops under it
has been set for January 8, will make
the troops abroad believe they are be-
ing deserted. Borden greatest
strength is in western Canada. The
province of Quebec, in which the
French vote is strong, may elect more
liberals than unionists to parliament,
but Borden expects to win i'll the west.
The election in Halifax has been
postponed and the vote in some dis
tint provinces will not be taken until
later.
