WILL UNDERGO A
SERIOUS OPERATION
CANCER OF STOMACH ATTACKS
OREGON OFFICIAL IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
Death of Man Next to Governor
Would Cause PerpleXing
Complications.

Portland, Or. Aug. 18.-Secretary
of State Frank Benson, now in San
Francisco. is to have an operation
performed for cancer of the stomach
as a last resort to save his life. His
condition is so serious that grave
fears are entertained as to his recoV-
cry, despite the proposed surgical
operation.
Since his election as Secretary of
State two years ago, Mr.. Benson has
been i'll the greater part of the time.
Shortly after he was sworn in he
was unable to attend to his duties
and for many weeks the office was
conducted by his brother, Judge Ben
son. At various times since, it has
been necessary for the Secretary OF
State to leave Salem for treatment,
and shortly after the June election
he travelled to San Francisco, where
he has remained.
Should the operation fail of its
purpose, the political situation OF
Oregon, which is now decidedly com
plicated. will be even more involved.
The death of Secretary Benson be
fore the end OF the coming legisla
tive session In January would bring
about d number of changes in the po-
litical geography of the state.
According to the statutes of Ore
gon, the Secretary OF State is the
successor to the Governor when the
latter dies, resigns or leaves the Of
fee This is OF especial Importance
when 1t is remembered that George
E Chamberlain, the Governor, has
received the popular vote for United
States Senator
In the event of the decease of Ben
son before the converting of the Leg
islature, Governor Chamberlain
would have the appointing of a new
Secretary of State to fill the unex-
pired term.

More Land to Be Opened.

Boise. Idaho, Aug 1S.-Close to
$1,000 acres of new land, segregated
by the Carey act. is about to be
thrown open for settlement between
the town of King Hill and Glenn 5
Ferry. Idaho. This tract lies along
the main line OF the Oregon Short
Line and borders the Snake River
for distance of twenty miles. 1t
lies In a cove, surrounded by hills
varying from 1000 to 800 feet
higher. The opening days has been
set for October II and the sale Of
the lands will be under the direction
Of the State Land Board OF Idaho.
The owners of the land. Kings Hill
Irrigation & Power Company, acquir-
ed the project from the old Glenn )
Ferry Land & Irrigation Company,
obtained new contracts from the
state last May, under the Carey act,
segregating the $1,000 acres and al
lowing an additional 5000 acres Of
private holding to be watered. The
land includes the towns OF King Hill
and Glenn's Ferry.
The company has acquired the
Malad River water rights, providing
a minimum flow of 100 second feet,
sufficient to give splendid irrigation
for over 100000 acres. The water
is exceptionally pure and adaptable
alike for irrigation and domestic
purposes. The waters of this river
conveyed over the Snake by means
of an inverted siphon pipe, six feet
in diameter, on steel truss bridge,
supported by concrete piers.

New York, Aug. 1S.-lra d. San
key, known as an evangelist through
out the Christian world, died last
week at his home in Brooklyn. Mr..
Sankey was 6S years OF age. For the
last five years he had been blind, and
had suffered from a complication of
diseases brought on by oyerwork.
But almost to the very last he work
ed at hymn-writing.
Mr.. Sankey's tours through this
country and Europe with Dwight l..
Moody, the evangelist. brought him
into wide prominence. Sankey, it
might be said, wrote gospel hymns
for the world. In China, Egypt, In
dia, Japan, in almost every language
known to men, Sankey's hymns were
sung. He secured "a large income
from his publications, and leaves a
considerable estate.
Among Sankey's most familiar
compositions are The Ninety and
Nine" and When the Mists Have
Rolled Away" His songs are said
to have had a circulation OF more
than 100000 copies.

ROOSEVELT MAY HELP TAFp.
Wind-up of Presidential Contest VIII
Draw Him Out.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S-Clo5e
friends of President Roosevelt and
w. H. Taft have let drop some hint
within the past day or TWO that the
President is more than likely to get
into the campaign in a most active
manner close on to election time.
That he will appear personally in
some of the states where the fight
assumes its most critical phases and
talk directly to the people is regard
ed as one of the logical sequences OF
the decision of Mr.. Taft not to make
any stumping tour.
Information from reliable source
is that Secretary Luke Wright. a for
mer Democrat, will take the stump
for Mr. Taft in Tennessee and, that
being the case, Tennessee, more than
otherwise would be the case, will be
come interesting territory. If the
plan is carried out, it will be a more
serious attempt than any yet made
to break up the solid South and Sc
cure a political alignment on a new
basis.

Gold Amalgam Stolen.

Reno, New, Aug. 1S.-A sack of
amalgam shipped by express to the
Cadson mint from Manhattan, few
days ago, has disappeared. About
week ago two sacks. containing
gold amalgam worth several thou
sand dollars, were shipped from
Manhattan. Only one arrived at the
mint. Where the other is is mys-
terry. Detectives have found that the
shipment, instead of going via
Mound House. came to Reno and
was forwarded. They believe one
of the sacks was stolen while they
were being transferred in Reno.

dates for governor on the republican
ticket.
Puyallup Republican: He is a
leader in the best thought Of the rep
ublican party; a leader for its highest
aims and purposes; a leader in moral
and principles. It is not possible for
any man to stand higher with his party
and the people than S. G. Cosgrove Of
Pomeroy. And for all he has done for
the party and clean politics, he is en-
titled to be rewarded, not alone for
what he has accomplished, but because
no man could make a better governor.
He would elevate the position; put It
on a plane far above partizan politics.
He is a man who would have the cour-
age to do right.
Chehalis Bee-Nugget: The record
of the Pomeroy candidate has been
searched in vain for a flaw but there is
absolutely nothing in it that can be
distorted into an argument against his
candidacy.
Lacrosse Herald: While his oppon-
ents do not like to admit it, he stands
head and shoulders above all the other
candidates.
Stanwood Tidings: If nominated
and elected, he would enter the office
free from political pledges and political
machines and would be enabled to dis
charge his official duties without fear or
favoritism to any man or any section
OF the state

KILLED BY GAS
IN DIGGING WELL
TOllEY WELL DIGGER MEETS SUDDEN
DEATH-OVERCOME BY GAS
FALLS FROM ROPE.

Minet, Aug. IA man whose
name is unknown to Coroner Lar
son was killed in we'll near
Tolley yesterday.
The man, who was we'll digger,
had started to descend to the bot
tom of the we'll which was being
dug at a depth of sixty feet, to fix
a bucket which had got loose in
the bottom. His companions sug-
gested that he put on the harness
usually worn by we'll diggers in
descending wells, but he said he
preferred to rest on stick tied to
the end of a rope.
After he had descended about
twenty-five feet he was overcome
by gas and fell to the bottom of
the we'll. Another man was sent
down in a harness, and he, too,
was over come by gas and was
pulled out. The men then got
hooks and after working about
eight hours recovered the body of
the first man who had fallen. He
died few minutes after falling
from the rope.

MINOT LOSES ITS CASE.

according to the decision rend-
cred by Judge Goss in district
court Tuesday the city of Minot
which seeks to have Harrison
township assessed as portion of
the city on the ground that the
withdrawal from the city ten and
eighteen years ago were illegal is
not upheld in the decision of the
Judge and the scores of handsome
homes in that splendid section of
the city will pay township taxes in
stead of their portion of the Minot
city assessment.
The property involved was
assessed last year at $100,000.W
and the saving in taxes to the
property owners who are mostly
Minot business men will be I'M
mense inasmuchs as the tax in Mi
not this year is approximately Z .
per cent and that in Harrison town
ship i hardly 8 per cent. The
city will undoubtedly appeal the

question without having some
data on which to base q guess.
Both gas and oil are struck in
river valleys, usually some dis
tance from the stream, although
there are cases in the southwest
fields where wells have been sunk
in river beds. As I before re-
marked, ! believe the products un-
derlie all this country and it is
just a matter of whether they are
near enough to the surface to be
of value Drilling is limited in
depth which is the only limitation
in the business. Oil and gas are
produced from decayed animal
and vegetable matter and the lig-
mite beds of this state give evil
dence that both flora and fauna
were flourishing in this land at
some time in the past ages and
that their remains in the form of
oil and gas can still be struck in
large quantities.
THE Ignite beds lead me to be-
lieve that the products may be
struck at less depth than in the
southwestern fields. Lignite is
the remains of a large forests
which covered this entire country
from away north into Canada to
the Gulf of Mexico in past ages.
