in favor of the lighter punishment brought
over to his side the remaining eleven.

JOE HILL HALL WILL
TRY FOR GOVERNOR
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT NOT
MADE, BUT WILL SOON BE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CAM
PAloN is WELL UNDER WAY.

Atlanta, June 16.-(Speciai)- Hill
Hall of Bibb is in the race for governor
The information comes direct from one
who is close in touch with Mr.. Hall and
1t is supplemented with the statement
that the formal and signed announce
ment of his candidacy will be given out
during the coming session of the general
assembly.
1t is further stated that Mr.. Hail. who
all along has been inclined to announce
himself as a candidate and champion for
the strong reform views he has conss-
tently supported for many years, came
to this definite decision yesterday, while
in Atlanta and after he had held a con-
ference with some of his strongest sup
porters in this city.
After the legislature meets Mr.. Hall
proposes to call a conference of his
friends among whom he has mentioned
Seab Wright, representative of Floyd
county, Emerson George of Morgan
county. John w Akin of Barlow county,
Murphy Chandler of DeKalb county, and
j. ?. Knight of Berrien county, and as
a result of this conference his candidacy
will be announced in a card to the press
form upon which he is to make his
race.
1t has been generally commented upon
throughout the state that Mr. Halls an
nounced candidacy would be sure to fol-
low the statement recently issued by
him to the effect that he favored no cam
didate in the race and that there was no
candidate out who represented the popu-
lation which should be represented in the
coming gubernatorial contest Added to
this fact, S. C. Tapp of Atlanta, CAM
paign manager for Hon. Dupont Query,
when he ran for governor wrote a card
expressing the same views and last Sun
day came out in another card declaring
for Mr. Hall as the champion of these
principles.
Mr.. Hall was in the city yesterday, and
while at the capitol stated that he would
declare his intentions during the session
of the general assembly. A number of
friends there chided him with being a
candidate without an announcement. Not
once did he deny the insinuation, but
each time smiled and turned the talk
to other topics.
1t has been repeatedly stated that Mr..
Hall while travelling over the state has
been importuned to make the race, and
in each instance he urged them to wait
and watch, assuring them that Eat the
proper time a candidate to represent the
principles for which Sc stood would be
announced"
This is the announcement to be expected
when the general assembly convenes or
shortly thereafter.
With Clark Howell of Atlanta. Hoke
Smith of Atlanta, r. p. Russell of Win
der, ]. II. Smith of Smithsonla, all an
nouneed candidates, and Joe Hill Hall
as a candidate in the race. and who will
soon announce over his own signature, the
political campaign for governorship is
well Under way.

Magnify Britain's Attitude.
Pessmistic chauvenists are building
mountains out of the wording of the Assoc

announcing that Great Britain was I'M
willing to use her influence with Japan
to moderate her ally's terms. claiming
that 1t meant that Great Britain had
sounded Japan and found her in mood
to insist ON heavy indemnity and other
humiliating demands, and that it also
meant the indefinite prolongation of the
war The general disposition, however,
is to suspend judgment until Japan re-
veals her terms and in diplomatic circles
there is a hopeful feeling that These
terms will form the basis of a possible
agreement.

PULLMAN MAN SEEKS COAL.

From the following, which has APP
peared in the daily press, it is evil
dent that ex-Councilman Harvey, of
this city, has an ambition to become
a coal baron:
Z. Harvey of Pullman, Wash, has
offered $4,000 for six sections of the
coal lands of the Kootenay Coal COM
pany, but it is not likely the offer
will be accepted. Andrew Hackett,
locator of the properties, and one of
the directors and chief stockholders,
has been in the city to attend a meet
ing of the company, and says he thinks
the offer Is not reasonable one.
The coal lands in question adjoin
those of the Crows Nest Pass Coal
company, and are about seven miles
from Mitchell, and equidi tant from
the Crows Nest and Great North
ern railway systems. There are l;
we'll defined leads on the lands, SOM
of the seams being SO feet, and al
above water level.

Week ending August Z, 1906
The past week was without rain
and was of moderate temperature dur
ing the fore part but very warm dur
ing the latter part. 1t was very fav-
orable for the growth of corn, melons,
tomatoes, squash, and all those vege-
tables requiring a hot sun for their
best development. 1t was unfavorable
for pastures and meadows, drying them
up badly, and the late hay crop will be
short. The heat and dryness have in
jured apples and prunes, causing them
to drop off badly. Rain is badly
needed for pastures, late potatoes, late
OATS. and fruit.
Hops are doing we'll and the outlook
is promising, although aphis are num-
erous, and there is some appearance of
mold. Late potatoes show evidence of
blight IN some localities, and there
are some reports of blight in tomatoes
Root crops are doing we'll and the
season is unusually favorable for sweet
corn.
The entire week was ideal for hay
ing and harvesting. The winter wheat
harvest is nearly completed and thresh-
ing is we'll under way. Most of the
wheat will grade number one. Spring
wheat is ripening rapidly and oats are
ripening little too rapidly. The
barley harvest is about finished, oat
cutting is we'll under way, and the
cutting of spring wheat has begun
The wheat is now too far advanced fol
further injury from hot winds, and {
bountiful crop is assured.
Palouse Country -Rosalia-Th cut
ting of fall wheat is completed, and o,
oats and barley in full progress. Mos
of the wheat will grade as No.
Summer following is full of weeds.
