Snap Caucus of Last Year Mill
tated Against Carmack.
Frazier and Cox Feel Eject of Senior
senator's Defeat Before His
People.
BENTON MMILLIN is JUBILANT.

Nashville, Tenn, May 14.-Be-
lated returns from Saturdays sena-
torlal primary continue to filter into
the American and to the headquar-
ters of the two candidates. but they
show nothing to cause a material
change in the figures given last night
as to ex-Gov Taylor's majority. 1t
wifi be somewhere around $500, al
though Campaign Manager Brandon
Brandon says it may go to 10000
which is the outside figure.
The vote in 81 counties, with a
district or two missing here and
there, and the whole unofficial. of
course. shows Taylor to have received
47,441 votes. against 1912 for Car
mack, majority of $3.50.
Since Carmack's defeat for re-elec-
tion the politicians have begun to
speculate upon its probable effect up
on the future fortunes of several in
dividuals who were more or less is-
sues in the contest. II is generally
admitted that the result makes very
doubtful the reelection of senator
Carmack's colleagues James b. Fra
zier, whose term will expire March
4. 1911.
One of the strongest influences
that contributed to Senator Car
mack's defeat was the sentiment
against the alleged snap caucus of
last winter, by which Frazier was
elected to the senate and John |.
Cox became governor.

The public auction of horses and

sold, much of it going to central Ore

The Panhandle section of Texas
has no charms for Asa Mcdaniel, who
returned from there Sunday night
after having gone down in company
with T. ]. Tweedy for the purpose of
looking over the land with view to
investing.
According to Mr.. Mcdaniel, the
fame of the Panhandle section is due
mostly to the efforts of the real estate
boomers employed by the railroads
and other companies having large
bodies of land to SELL These men are
exploiting the country to the limit,
and are said TO flock like flies around
intending purchasers. ,,
The chief drawback 10 the section
as wheatraising country in the view
of Mr.. McDaniels, is the fact that the
most of the summer rainfall comes in
July, August and September. There
are no reliable spring rains as in this
section, and upon which the success
of the crop largely depends. The
rains which come later in the summer
are at a time when they would only
injure wheat.
AS far as the soil is concerned Mr.
McDaniels believes it good, but de-
clares the climatic conditions are not
what they should be for wheatraistng
Also the land is high and strong
winds blow the year around.
While there Mr.. McDaniels says he
saw but one man who had actually
raised any wheat. His crop had
yielded but IL bushels per acre and
was of a grade that would be disown-
ed in this section. Apparently corn
may be raised with better success, as
good yields of Kaffir corn and other
varieties are known to have been rails
ed there. But so far there is nothing
TO show that wheat may be success
fully raised, and in the opinion of Mr.
Mcdaniel 1t cannot Consequently he
did not invest in any land. Many
who have purchased land there have
done SO as a speculation, he declares.
and there are few actual settlers go
ing into the Panhandle section. Many
actual homeseekers have been there
but have gone on into New Mexico
and taken up land there under the
homestead act.

PROPORTION OF SALOONS.

Pendleton with 80 saloons has one
for each 1873 of her population, while
Walla Walla with 46 saloons has one
for each 34s population.
If Walla Walla had saloons In the
same proportion to population that
Pendleton enjoys, she would support
ss saloons, or double the number she
now supports.
The recent advance in the cost of
saloon licenses from 1866 to $1,000
per year in Walla Walla caused but
two places to go out of business.
Three other places had their licenses

only possession.
During the roundup, which will
last for three weeks, the Indians will
gather all the range horses on the
reservation into one herd on the foot
hills. where each man will "cut out"
his individual horses, the entire herd
being held by regular herders until
the reservation is thoroughly search

A number of Columbia river In

the Umatillas and who have horses
on the reservation, will join in the

made a spring holiday season on the
