Great YEAR
FOR WHEAT

Crops in certain sections of the
east are top notch ones and while
| am no expert | can see that the
price in Washington will certainly
be affected" said E. d. Reiter of
Davenport, in the heart of the Big
Bend wheat producing country
this morning. Mr.. Reiter is re-
turning home from a six weeks
trip during which he spent some
time in northern Ohio, eastern Ne
braska and western North Dakota.
THE entire cereal crop of east
ern Nebraska" said Mr.. Reiter, sis
estimated at 400,000,000 bushels.
The wheat crop alone is placed at
an advance of 100000 bushels
over that of last year. While in
some portions of eastern North Da-
kota late rains killed much wheat,
the crop in the western part of
the state is larger than usual. In
the fruit belt along the Lake Erie
in Ohio thehre is an unprecedented
yield this year. But the greatest
crop is in Nebraska, where all the
farmers are jubilant."
Mr.. Reiter says that he does not
care to be a disseminator of disap-
pointment, but he says that he has
good reason to believe that the
price Of grain in Washington will
fall below that of last year and
that decrease in yield in the rosy
view taken earlier in the season by
the wheat grower as to his returns
will have to be discounted by a
considerable margin.

ORDERS
FOR OFFICERS

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 90
The class of 1907 at the naval
academy will have three gradua-
ton days, the first of which will
take place on September 10, when
will be sent to sea those midship-
men who have attained more than
IS per cent for the socalled second
term, that from February to May,
and who have also made at least
rs per cent in the entire academic
work. The next graduation will
take place in February, when will
be graduated those who made IS
per cent in the period from Oc-
tober to February. 1t is expected
there will be few, If any, gradu-
ates on that occasion, for the rea-
son that those who can come up to
requirements will be able to make
the graduation in September The
third graduation will take place in
June. 1t is unusual to have three
graduation dates for one class, and
it is without precedent to have any
part of a class graduate as early
as September. The reason for it
was to raise the standard of eff
ficiency and stimulate rivalry, and
at the same time get the young
men to sea at as early a date as
possible to meet the demand for
naval officers on board ship.
Special efforts will be made dur
ing the coming academic year to
prevent any attempt of the mid
shipment to violate the strict rule
against haZing. The rule will be
rigidly enforced and the young
men will be duly impressed with
the determine ton of the authori.

SPOKANE MAIDS
TELL YOUNG
MEN "23"

Many young ladies of Spokane
have adopted the cold and chilly
stare of late and have caused their
suitors to perform surprising feats
trying to square" themselves for
fanced inattentions or something
that has evidently caused the said
"cold and chilly" Refrig orator
boxes aren't a comparison.
But one young man was am
bilious and not knowing that there
were many in the same boat with
himself, he got busy, did some
quiet detective work, possibly did
some eavesdropping and made a
startling and cruel discovery. 1t
isn't exactly right and proper to
eavesdrop, especially on the young
ladies', but all's fair, etc, so this
young man slugged his conscience
and as previously stated, got busy

the killing of father, and all that
sort. This last takes the cake and
pudding and candy.
So the young man above men

found out that seven young women

Railroads Fiqht for Control.

San Francisco.-The second move in
the great war of two railroads has
been made. The Hill interests have
gathered their forces and are contend
ing with might and main to wrest from
Hartman the control of the rich dis
tricts Of central Oregon. The pur-
chase of the California Northeastern
by the Southern Pacific was the first
move in the game and was designed to
forestall the plan of the Hill interests,
who announced the intention of build
ing a road from Butte, Montana, to
Boise, Idaho, down through central
Oregon, and finally ending at San Fran
cisco.
News has been received here that
the Hill interests are not asleep. The
officials of the San Francisco, Idaho &
Montana road have announced large
contracts for bridge work and struc-
tural steel. They say that the whole
route has been surveyed and oss-sec-
toned. and that actual construction
work will begin in few days.

DOWlE AGAIN DEFEATED.
voliva Chosen Overseer by Big Ma
jority-Dowie May Return
to Mexico.

Chicago.-Wilbur Voliva was chosen
Tuesday by the people OF Zion City as
their leader by the overwhelming vote
of 1,911 to by A. N. Bills, his op-
ponent The election was held
to-day under the orders Of United
States Judge Randis, who was asked
some time ago to settle the contro-
versy between John Alexander Dowie,
founder of the chosen, and Voliva, as
to who should have control of Zion
City. Believing that the best way to
settle the difficulty was to let the peo-
pie of Zion City choose their own
leader, Judge Lands ordered the cleo
ton and to-day's vote is the result.
The action of the Zionists to-day
practically makes John Alexander
Dowie an outcast from the religious or
ganization which he established sew
eral years ago and which has now
grown to large proportions. Dowie,
who is in feeble health, refused to rec
ognize the authority of the court in or
dering the election and did not present
himself as candidate.
Out of the total vote og 1917 cast,
about half OF them were by the women
of Zion City, who went to the polls
singing hymns, cast their votes and
then knelt in prayer at the door of the
voting place.

SITUATION IN CUBA.
Prospects for Peace Not Very Encour.
aqinq.

Havana.-The only results thus far
of President Pama's order for the
suspension of hostiities have been
that Liberal leaders who hitherto have
had every reason for anticipating ar
rest are circulating openly in Havana
again and even comforting with mem
bers of the government with regard to
peace and that such insurgents in tho
field have been consulted, while they
express themselves as agreeable to set
tling matters amicably, at the same
time assume an Independent attitude
which can not be said to bode partic-
ularly well for prompt settlement OF
existing difficulties.
Meanwhile CienfucFos is in state
of siege, communication by telegraph
being severed not openly in the direc-
tion of Havana but to Santiago as
well. 1t is known that Cienfuegos had
not been attacked up to midnight Sun
day. but what has transpired since that
time is not known here.
All accounts agree that there easily
are 5000 insurgents a few miles south
east of Havana, and rumors are in cir
culation that they will enter the city
peaceably If they are not molested, but
that they will fight If they meet with
resistance.

Denver, Colo. Sept. II, 1906

Denver, Colo. Sept IT, 1906.
Hon. John F. Vivian, Chairman Repub-
lican State Central Committee,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir-I beg to inform you that
have forwarded to the secretary OF
state my ieclination of the nomination
of the office of governor recently ten-
dered me by the Republican state con-
vention.
l very deeply regret that a sudden
and severe attack OF illness prevented,
under direction OF my physician, the
report of the work of the convention
oeing brought to my attention prior to
its final adjournment on Saturday last.
A later action of the convention,
however, makes it quite impossible for
me to render to the-s state and to the
party the service which | had conf
IDENTIFY hoped to perform in the COM
ing campaign.
l wish to express through you to
the Rpublicans of the state my sincere
appreciation of the honor conferred by
my nomination and of the many per-
sonal assurances of regard, and to as
sure you that my efforts for the s-e-
cess of the party and it's principles will
be in no way relaxed.
Very respectfully yours,
PHILIP b. STEWART.
The Republicas says
This official announcement from Mr..
Stewart had been expected ever since
the Republican state convention made
its nominations for the Supreme Court
bench. 1t is understood that Mr..
Stewards real reason for withdrawal
was the nomination of Justice w. II.
rnh
isfied himself that Justice Gabbert
should be on the ticket
For several days previous to the
convention Mr.. Stewart was confined
to his rooms by illness. Friday night
he suffered great pain and on Saturday
he was unable to leave his bed. That
night he was informed of the compile
ton Of the ticket and made up his
mind regarding his course. He had
told his friends at the beginning that
he did not expect to be a candidate un-
less he could have his way in regard to
the Supreme Court nomination. His
illness at a critical moment brought
about all the subsequent misunder-
standing and trouble.
The state convention appointed John
F. Vivian, Franklin e. Brooks and
George Stidger as a committee to fill
vacancies. 1t was not expected that
there would be a vacancy in the nomi.
nation for such an important Office as
governor, but it is now, the belief that
on these three men will fall the impor-
tant duty of selecting Mr.. Stewards
successor on the ticket.
| Gov. Jesse f. Mcdonald, who an
nounced that he would not be a candi-
date a month ago, has been chosen
hy p1rnpGt rnnDrODnC pninp of all tho
leaders who could be found in Denver:
but there is no authority for stating
that he would accept the nomination.
On Friday and Saturday the conven-
ton took every opportunity to demon
strate its good opinion of the present
executive and its appreciation of his
services, still Governor Mcdonald is
anxious to retire and has no idea of be-
ing candidate.
Friends of George w. Swink believe
that he should be given the place.
