Germs ON THE INCREASE AND

ELECTION DRAWS NEAR.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Brad-
streets says: Retail trade still re-
fleets the influence of warm weather
and the approach of election breeds
conservatism as regards heavy buy
ing and the projection of new enter
prises. However, there is more do
ing and more confident buying of raw
material by manufacturers, who ap-
parently forecast a change for the
better in the latter part of this year,
or the early part of next. The large
movement of wheat to market is re-
sponsible for the optimistic tenor of
reports from distributive centers in
the northwest Effects of the drouth
are shown in almost total suspension
of steamboat traffic on the Ohio river
and its tributaries, the holding up of
large quantities of coal along that
stream, the prevalence of destruc-
tive forest fires and the low stage of
water supplies. Reports as to col
lections vary, being best in the
northwest and poorest in the south.

MOTOR PARKWAY. l.. l.. Oct. II.
George Robertson, the daring

America. His time WAS one minute

Robertson's time WAS 2iO min

81 $40 miles an hour, thereby
breaking all previous American rec

Considering the condition of the
track, the time made by the leading
drivers today represented n marvel

Enough rain fell during the race TO
make the track very treacherous and
the racers skidded in hair raising
way In their mad flight for honors.
Nevertheless. no serious accident oc-

Is 25S.O6 miles.
After the second car had finished
an enormous crowd surged onto the

Probably 100000 people saw the

Reports of trouble soon began

DUN,S TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's weekly review of trade says:
Anti-election lassitude is general in
the commercial world. especially as
to placing of contracts for undertake
ings. but there is a gratifying de-
crease in idle machinery at manufac-
turing plants, testifying to confidence
in a good demand when the present
uncertainty is over. Lack of rain has
been a serious drawback. low water
retarding mill work and river ship
ments, while winter wheat is getting
poor start and forest fires cause
great damage.

been advanced Il cent per pound.
There was all sorts of "bull" talk
coming across the wires. From the
Boston News Bureau the following
came:
Boston-A leading copper inter
est says: The electrification of
steam roads is a prospective factor
in copper consumption, which bids
fair TO assume large proportions, but
this will not be immediate. A dozen
different roads in the United States
are considering this matter, and the
public demand may force action on
the part of railroads before they are
prepared TO take action of their free
will 1t is not improbable, as a result
of these developments, that we may
have another period of high priced
copper, which is not particularly des-
fred. A | 5 cent market for period
of years would be to the general lik-
ing of copper producers. There are
two factors to be considered as to the
immediate future of copper-one is
the business stimulus created If Taft
is elected, and the second is the gem
eral suspense likely to be created in
business circles by tariff agitation.
1t is likely that the tariff question
will prevent over expansion of busi-
ness as the result of election. In the
meantime, | look for copper to re-
main near the 13 " cent level"

THEIR REPORTS-COURT PRO
CEEDINGS ARE PENDING.

CARSON CITY. Oct. 24.-James +.
Haley. state bullion tax collector of

900 and that out of this amount the
state has received in bullion tax only

of the attorney general the fact that
all of the mines are not paying to the
state all the taxes they should and
has instructed him to notify all dis
trict attorneys in the state TO force
all mines to pay TO the state the
amount of taxes they should pay
according to law.
He has also instructed the attor-
ney general to close up alleged lot
teries now being operated in Esmer-
aida county. according to the report
of the state bullion tax collector and
to see that all gambling resorts in
the state pay their just proportion of
taxes. lie has further ordered that
the attorney general investigate GER
tain alleged prize fights that have
been held in the state as amateur
events when in fact they were pro-
fessional bouts and subject to "A IL

Mr.. Haley's report is very complete
and In 1t he tells of the condition of

MAN KIDNAPPED.

BELLINGHAM. Wash, October 81
special from Mount Vernon says:
While driving to Mount Vernon last
night from his lumber camp, about
fifteen miles from here, Edward Eng
lish. a wealthy lumberman of Mount
Vernon. was held up and kidnapped by a
lone robber about three miles from
town The robber forced English to
make note payable at a Mount Yer
non bank for $1,000 and write the fol-
lowing letter to his wife:
Dear Wife: 1 am held up and kid
mapped for $1,000. and l am threatened
with having my ears cut off II the money
Is not forthcoming by tomorrow noon
For Gods sake make all haste. Show
this to Mr.. Hannay and solicit this sum
ED. ENGLISH"
Hanray is connected with a Mount
Vernon bank. The robber, within two
miles of town. handed the note and let.
ter to a passing traveller, telling him
that English had been injured In run
away and to take the missives to Mrs
English. The stranger did this.
Bound to a Tree.
Meanwhile the bandit left his victim
tied to tree evidently intending to re-
turn In the morning to see If the ran
som was forthcoming.
English. however. managed to break
loose from the ropes which bound him
and made his way to the home of Henry
Day. about two miles from Mount Yer
non. where he telephoned his wife and
Sheriff Harmon Of Skagit county The
sheriff at once sent deputies out In hopes
of securing the kidnaper.
The fellow Is described as having one
arm bandaged up. 1t is believed that
the stranger who brought the note tc
Mrs. English was a confederate
