NORTH YAKIMA. Feb. 7.-Great
surprise was occasioned in this city

ried in Seattle to Miss Gertrude Ley.
popular young society woman of
North Yakima. The couple practically
made a runaway match of it, as not

groom knew of the impending mar
riage.
Englehart is attorney in this coun-
try for the Northern Pacific and other
corporations. Some time ago Englehart
obtained a divorce from his first wife.
Miss Ley is a Catholic and her mar
riage therefore will estrange her from
her church. 1t also has caused her rel
atives IN this city dissatisfaction.
Mr.. and Mrs. Englehart left for
tour in Old Mexico Immediately after
the ceremony.

CALIFORNIA AND IDAHO SOLID
FOR BIG SECRETARY WITH
PORTLAND DIVIDED.

PORTLAND, Feb. 7.-As a result of
an investigation undertaken by the
Evening Journal as to republican SEN
timent in regard TO the next presiden-
tial candidate on the coast the opinion
all over is apparent that Taft will be
the favorite of Pacific coast delegates
at Chicago although Hughes will have
a following and perhaps LaFollette.
California looks to be solid for Taft
as does daho. The battle grounds will
be in Oregon and Washington.
A strong Hughes sentiment is found
about Bellingham, WASH where he is
receiving considerable support.
In Seattle LaFollette is spoken of as
a strong contender
In Tacoma the choice runs between
Taft and Hughes. In Spokane and
Walla Walla, Taft and Hughes are
picked.
In Oregon Taft leads with a grow
ing tide of enthusiasm for Hughes and
LaFollette to contend with.
In eastern Oregon, Baker and Union
counties, Lafollette seems especially
strong. Multnomah county is the center
of Hughes enthusiasm although Taft
is in the lead at present.

Even though other race meets to
be held the same week as that decid-
ed upon by the local association may
draw many of the best horses from
the race events here, officials of the
association feel not the least bit dis
couraged, believing that more of an
agricultural display and less attention
to the race meet will work to the mu-
tual advantage and success of the an
nual event. 1t has been the intention
of directors for several years to grad
ually incorporate the Walla WalIa

bit, and to eliminate in a certain de-
gree the racing program.
T. Enough good animals are assured to
make the 1908 fair a success as far
as the track events are concerned. and
1t is the opinion Of officials of the
association that the break resulting
from the clash over satisfactory dates
has assisted, rather than injured the
coming meet and annual fair.
