THE HAGUE, Aug. 31.-The twen-
ty-eighth birthday of Queen Wilhel-

the people of Holland today. In this
city business was practically suspend

Unless an heir is born
to the queen, the throne win pass to
the German branch OF the royal family
and Dutchmem fear that this will re-
suit in finally making their country a
German dependency.
The queen was married in 1901, to
Duke Henry Of Mecklenburg-S Schwerin-
Her married life has been marreki by
many Quarrels, and this has served to
excite the wrath Of the subjects of the
queen, with the result that her con-
sort is perhaps the most unpopular
man in Holland

sided, acting in accordance with the
general election laws, which provide
that the books shall be closed at least
20 days prior to the date of election. A
recent opinion of thei attorney general
holds that the books should be closed
only on primary day.
The attorney general also ruled in
formally that registration Of voters on

not have to remain open unless they
wish. Labor day falls on September Z.

Republicans Are Worrying
About the Great Middle West

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Preparations
were completed today for the opening
of republican national congressional
headquarters here. The offices Of the
committee are in the Auditorium hO-
tel. Chicago's principal hostelry. The
campaign for making the next con-
gress republican in its political COM
plexion will be directed from this city.
The campaign of the republicans,
both presidential and congressional,
will soon be in full swing throughout
the west. The western literary bureau,
in charge of Victor Rosewater pub
Usher of the Omaha Bee, is now send
ing out literature and if sufficient
funds can be secured the western
country will be plastered with repub-
lican arguments in the shape If leaf
lets and pamphlets.
1t is admitted that the campaign
will have hard work to hold
several western states in the repub-
lican column. Conditions in Minneso-
the republicans considerable worry.
While the managers declare they will
carry both states for Taft, they do not
minimize the necessity for hard work.

Methods Of raising money for cam
pangn expenses are still source Of
worry to the campaign managers.
Speaking of the cost Of conducting the
campaign, a prominent republican to-
day said that 100000 and $5OO,00O
would be needed to defray the travel
ing expenses of speakers, and that it
would cost at least 100000 to put one
piece Of literature in the hands of
every voter He fixed the cost of cam
paign buttons at more than $4,000, and
said that other large sums would be
needed for the expenses of headquar-
ters, Autographs and advertising. Then
there are other matters that will be
costly.
Where all this money is TO come
from, now that the corporations are
excluded from making campaign con-
tributions, is a matter Of conjecture.
1t is likely that the original estimates
will have to be greatly reduced. No
speakers who demand large pay for
their services viii be hired and the
in other lines will have to
be conducted on the most economical
basis possible, in order to make both
.nds meet

Grain Thieves
Found Guilty

Orie Steele and Jerry Stantorf, OF
Milton. who were arrested by the po-
lice last week on adv1ces from the
IJmatilla county authorities, on the
charge of stealing wheat from farmers
of that section, and who were returned
to Milton for trial, We're convicted
Saturday, and fined $50 each. The men
brought a quantity of grain to Waha
Walla and attempted to dispose OF 1t
to the manager of the City Mills. They
were arrested before the transaction
was completed, and were turned over
to the Milton officers.

Mead or Mcbride the Winner
Liquor QueSl5n the Issue

nope too seriously, the Mead and Nc
Bride fellows figured it up and when If
was found that Cosgrove was also go
ing to get a considerable bunch of first
choice votes, they came to the conclu-
sion that it Wouldn't do to let Cos
grove have too many second choice
votes. and the word went down the
line to remember Morrison, Ridpath
Atkinson, Brown, Robinson and Neil in
the distribution of second choice votes
But local option will overshadow
everything else in the closing week
of the campaign, and it is a safe bet
that Mead and Mcbride will easily di-
vide rs per cent of the first choice
votes. With the local option people
voting solidly for Mead and the anti
local option people voting solidly for
Mcbride, it is easy to see that one, if
not both of these candidates, will poll
40 per cent of the total first choice
votes, and that the one who gets the
most will be the republican. nominee
for governor, without the necessity of
counting the second choice votes.
The Mead stock took it's phenomenal

'The outlook was never better" said
]. ]. Schiffner, of the Hover Schiffner
company this afternoon in speaking Of
the prospects for real estate business
during the coming fall months THE
past two months have been exception

merly the rule to do little or no busi-
ness. we have almost equaled the rec
ord established in some of our busiest
months.
"Of course, the Prospect Heights
addition has greatly increased our bus
mess, but even in the city proper the
best pieces of dirt have been moving
constantly. and we have made some big
sales. 1 never saw as much building
going at one time in Walla Walla as
is being done this month. People have
found a scarcity of houses for rent,
and as a result the best residence lots
have been snapped Up. and homeseek-
ers are, in a great many instances
erecting their own homes.
Several business lots have changed
hands in the past two months, and 1t
is probable that a number of new brick
blocks will be among the additions TO
the city within a short time. Every
thing is extremely favorable for big
trade from this time on, and We are
ready for it."
Mr.. Schiffner reports that during
what is known as the dull season.
his firm has been instrumental In max

in walla walla, aggregating an expen-
diture OF more than - 600.
