WYOMING is FOR TAFT.
Sentiment of People for Ohio Man
Since RoOsevelt's. Absolute Refusal.

George E. Paxton, member of the
national republican committee from
Wyoming, is spending the day in Ba-
ker City and when seen by a Her
aid reporter in regard to the politi-
cal outlook in his state he said: 81
can hardly say just what the wishes
of the people are at this time for the
state is in very peculiar condition
and the public sentiment has not yet
crystalized.
"The voters have not taken much
interest in the political situation, not
nearly as much as is usually mani
tested at a time preceding the ma
tional convention. However, the pa
pers are in favor of Taft and think
that the majority of the people will
support him when the time comes for
them to decide.
81 do not think think that the dele
CATION from Wyoming to the nation
al convention will it is very probable
that they will be in favor of Taft"
When asked about a third term for
Roosevelt he said. Roosevelt him
self has killed his third term boom
and the people of my state are will
ing to abide by his decision although
if he should run again the whole
state, both republicans and demo-
Gratis, would be in his favor"
Mr.. Paxton is a business man of
Wyoming and is here in the interest
of the Evanston Coal company. At
the present time instead of the coal
supply being short there is more
coal on the market than will find
ready sale. and the cause for this is
very apparent. The closing down of
a large number of the smelters
throughout the west has thrown
about $4,000 tons of coal on the mar
ket each day that would ordinarily
be used for the mines His company
Is doing a very good business at the
present time, however, and have op-
ened another mine.

FAKER FEIGNED ILLNESS.
Walla Walla Stove Artist Fails to
Fool Old Physician.

The case of w. c. Bingham, the
stove artist, who is wanted in other
parts Of the state for crookedness, is
said to BATTLE the physicians In
charge. says the Walla Walla States
man. Yesterday Mr.. Bingham bad
an awful siege of lung trouble-so
serious, indeed, that he despaired of
his own life. County Physician Stiles
was called. and after a careful ex-
animation announced that the mans
lungs were not in the least affected.
Seeing that his last hope had about
fled. Bingham contracted a bad at
tack of heart trouble, and again DR..
Stiles made a flying trip to the jail
After another careful examination, in
which the prisoners heart was found
to be performing its ordinary func-
tions, the doctor looked over his
glasses at Bingham and remarked
YOU'RE fake"
Bingham, according to the authori-
ties, is wanted In Colfax and Palouse
City for frauds similar to that for
which he was arrested here, and he
will, in all probability. be called upon
to answer the other charges as soon
as he has satisfied the claim Of Wal
Ia Walla county officers.

AMMUNITION FOR MANILA.
Five Million Rounds Sent Over on

On the Pacific mail liner China,
sailing from here on the last day Of
the year, were 100000 rounds of
cartridges, consigned to the govern
ment at Manila, and on the trans
Buford, scheduled to leave here Feb.
ruary 5, will be another shipment
amounting to 100000 rounds, says
San Francisco dispatch. This ag-

quantity that has ever been sent to
the Philippines in the same period
of time.
1t was also learned today that there

friends how they nearly stewed in the
convention hall at st. Louis or Kan
sas City, or wherever it was. The
conventions are always held in the
summer, and somehow the weather
man seems invariably to be lavish
with humidity and a knockout tenn
perature. But Denver says it will not
be so there.
They don't know what it is to have
a really hot spell in Denver, and the
oldest inhabitant can draw a crowd
any day when he begins to tell of
wilted collar he saw way back in SO.
Further back than that nobody can
remember the city-for there wasn't
any. In 1858 the single log cabin of
a pioneer constituted the beginning
of fast growth that is unparalleled
in the story of a fast-growing ma
ton. Today it is a modern city, with
handsome buildings, beautiful parks,
a great public library, schools. clubs,
hotels, theaters-everything that a
center of civilization should have.
The famous gold hunt of '49 had
little civilization effect on the Colo
RADIO country; it was aimed further
west. Even in 1870, IL years after
the pioneers cabin was built, the
population of Denver was less than
5000. Recently in the United States

of his old mining days in Colorado.

CUT RAILROAD RATES.
If Roads Withdraw Mileage Books
Washington Railroad Commission
VIII Look Into Rates.

Railway passenger rates through
out this state may be cut to ~ cents
a mile, unless the Great Northern
either retires its mileage books or
changes their form, and this the rail-
way company refuses to do, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
The contest, which will probably be
tried In the courts. has arisen over a
rule which the commission has pro-
mulgated, and which the Great
Northern refuses to obey.
The order In question requires rail-
way companies In dealing with mile
age books to instruct their conductors
to pull only such number of coupons
as would be equivalent at 3 cents to
the regular fare.
One instance is that the exact dis
tance between Seattle and Olympia
is 70 miles, which would cost pas
sengers, at cents a mile. just $2.19
The railroads. to meet competition
charge only $3.50 a trip. When, how
ever, man is travelling on mileage
the conductor pulls 73 miles. The
commission rules that he must pull
only so miles In order to give the
man owning mileage the benefit of the
rate of 2h cents a mile, at which rate
he has paid for his mileage book.
The railroads say that If the rule
of the commission be enforced by the
courts they will retire their mileage
books. Commissioner J. c. Lawrence
has stated that the retirement OF
mileage books will probably be 70
lowed by the issuance of an order by
the commission for a hearing on the
subject of reducing passenger rates
to 2 Y cents q mile.
The railroads can. II they will
avoid the controversy by issuing &

That Condor, Gillian county, Ore
gon. has wrested from Rltzville
Wash. the honor of being the great
est wheat shipping station in the
United States is the statement made
in telegraphic dispatch sent out
from Condor. The statement gives
Condor a unique honor in the ship
ping circles of the United States and
is as follows:
One million three hundred thou
sand bushels of grain Is the past
years crop output to be shipped
to the outside world from Condor.
This enormous showing makes Con-
don the largest primary grain ship
ping point in the United States. Last
year this honor of having shipped
1,250,000 bushels of grain.
This statement has come to a ma
jority of the people in this vicinity as
a great surprise, as only few had
given the figures a thought. The
figures, which have been gathered
llOiil NllN luNdl d6NHN VI tiit W. W. N
N, show that 100000 bushels have
thus far been received at the station,
part of which has been shipped while
the remainder is awaiting shipment,
From men who keep posted on the
movement of grain 1t is learned that
about 100000 bushels are still scat
tered over the county, which will be
brought to this point for shipment,
making a grand total of 1900, 900
bushels of wheat and barley as Con-
don's contribution.
No less remarkable is the output
delivered at the other Gillian sta
tons, which all told for this county
will sum up to 2,5O0,000 bushels. The
average price has been 20 cents pei
bushels in this vicinity. The ranch
ers of this district are looking for
ward to another most prosperous
year, and land deals have been made
during the last few months which
will enable many to farm on much
larger scale.

WANT 500 LIMITED EXTENDED.

1t is learned from a reliable source
that an effort is being made to have
the 500 Limited, the first train over
the Canadian Pacific from st. Paul
to Spokane, extended to Portland
via Walla Walla, says the Walla
Walla Bulletin. Notwithstanding the
fact that 1t proved a wonderful sue
cess operated to Spokane, II was taxi
en- off at the beginning .of the win
ter season when travel was expected
to drop off.
This matter will probably be
brought to the attention of the Com

the near future and If Walla Walla
will put forth the proper effort It
will have what Is In effect the main
line of a transcont mental railroad
within the near future The Off
cials of the operating department of
the c. p. r. have already signified
their willingness to secure this serv-
ice and with the support of the busi-
ness men of Walla Walla 1t is prob
able that double train service be-
tween Spokane and Portland with
only one stop and that at Walla
Walla, connecting with the through
service to the east, can be secured.
The first intimation that such a
plan was under contemplation leak
ed out at the Canadian Pacific hotel
opening Monday, which was attended
by newspaper men from all import
ant cities in the northwest, including
Walla Walla. The 500 Limited is
one of the finest trains ever run over

MISSOURI BOURBONS
ENCOURAGE BRYAN
Nebraskan Delivers Twenty=six
Speeches and Predicts
Victory in State

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct 10.-With a
record of % speeches delivered during
the day, William j. Bryan brought to
close in this city tonight his latest
tour. Today's journey through eight
counties of the state might well be
termed harmony meeting, for
aboard the special train were repre-
sentatives of the several factions of
Missouri democracy, who were out
spoken in their determination to ac-
lively support the national and
state tickets. Among them were Will
liam s. Cowherd, nominee for COVER
nor: former Governor Lon stephens
David a. Ball, Judge William H. Wal
lace and II. F. Stapel, the defeated
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor; w. r. Painter, nominee for lieu
tenant governor; State Chairman Rubey
and Former Governor David R. Fran
els, at one time a member of Presi
dent Cleveland's cabinet.
Bryan declared that the electoral
vote OF Missouri was safely democratic
and he devoted considerable time to
urging the people to elect the entA-c
state ticket, as well as a legislature
that would choose democratic SEN
ator. He sought to instill into the
minds of his hearers the idea that
democratic victory this year would
mean a return to prosperity.
He discussed the trust question and
read communication from the acting
attorney general of the United States,
which he interpreted as direct refusal
upon the part of the law department of
the government to prosecute a corpora
tion for conducting its business in
restraint of trade. He produced the
letter, he said, Ito show the iniquity of
the trusts" and attacked President
Roosevelt, saying he shirked his duty
Bryan declared Taft was going
around the country making promises
which he knew he could not fulfill, be-
cause. said Bryan. the republican party
was unable to offer any real reforms.
While Bryan was speaking at Glas-
cow some one caused panic by max
ing an outcry that train was coming.
Men, women and children, in their de-
sire to get off the tracks, were knocked
down. several women tainted and two
old men and an old woman appeared
to be badly hurt
Bryan left at midnight for Lincoln,
Neb., where he will remain until Tues
day morning. when he will start west

and Wyoming.
