CAMPAIGN IN EAST
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT HAVE "A
LONG CONFERENCE REGARD"
ING CAMPAIGN.
Bryan Starts i'm Special Car for Long
Tour Through Atlantic states.
Debs Speaks to Crowds.

Washington, Oct. 19.-"I expect
to be elected to the Presidency, said
Judge Taft, standing in the East
Room of the White House last even
ing, facing 80 or 40 newspapermen
who had gathered to meet him AFTER
he had spent the day as President
Roosevelt's guest.
The answer was in response to a
question after a brief discussion OF
Mr.. Taft's recent tour through the
Southern states, of which he has
spoken as pleasing experiences.
Judge Taft expressed delicacy In
revealing the issues which he and the
President had discussed and when
pressed for statement as to the
Presidents views of the situation, he
would only say, THE President is
not a pessimist."
"Nor am l." he added.
While not especially arranged for
that purpose, the Presidential can
didate found in his stay here a con-
venient opportunity for cOnsulta-
ton with the President, who is his
chief adviser, and that both were
pleased with the arrangement and
made the most of it was made evil
dent by the fact that they spent the
entire time in the company of each
other and for the most part with
others excluded.

NEVADA WILL SUE EVERY
DIVIDEND-PAYING NINE.

Carson, New, Oct 18.-Governor
D. S. Dickerson has ordered Attor-
ney-General Richard H. Stoddard to
notify the district attorneys of the
various counties to begin proceedings
at once against every dividend-pay-
ing mine in the state which has not
paid its -b6llion tax 1t is probable
that many of the officials of mines
that have filed sworn statements
showing that they are operating at
loss and yet have been paying divi-
dends will be indicted for perjury in
falsifying their reports
These prosecutions will follow the
lines suggested by State Bullion Tax
Collector Haley, which shows that,
while the output of the states mines
is a million a month, only $4,000
has been paid in for taxes in the last
six months. A feature of the report
is that many lotteries have been OPP
Grated openly in the state in VIOLA
ton of Federal and state laws.
The report also showed that the
revenue of the state from gambling
was in excess of 100000 year.
The 81 games pay SIS month each.

IDAHO MERCHANTS BOUGHT
BOGUS TIME CHECKS

Wallace, Idaho, Oct. 19.-In the
capture of j. A. Misener, alias Ma.
haney, the sheriff's Office of Shoshone
county believes it has caught one
Of the most extensive check forgers
and counterfeiters in the Northwest.
At the time of his capture Misener
was found to be in possession of doz-
ems of forged checks on contractors
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad, and upwards of $500
in cash, all of which had been taken
from local stores.
About two months ago over $10,-
600 was taken from local merchants
by the same means, and it is be-
lieved by the same crook. Since
his arrest, Misener has been identi-
fed by a dozen merchants of Wal
lace alone as forger of construction
camp checks. In addition to checks
Misener had a full cOunterfeiting
outfit in his possession.
The arrest was made as result
of Misener's attempt to pass two
checks bearing the same number on
a local merchant.

Debs Overflow Spoiled.

Pittsburg. Oct. 19.-Eugene v.
Debs, Socialist candidate for Presi-
dent, held two monster meetings in
the Bijou theater here yesterday af-
noon and last night, thousands
waiting outside after the theater
was crowded to it's capacity for each
meeting.
When it was learned that the the
alter would not accommodate the
crowd, member of the candidates
party and a number of local Social
lists led the crowd to the wharf.
The would-be speaker mounted a
wagon, intending to talk until Mr.,
Debs had finished at the theater and
come to the overflow meeting. A
policeman demanded to see his per-
lit for holding a meeting. The
speaker said he did not know there
was such law, but of course he
would obey, and the overflow was
abandoned

Last evening the first annual
meeting of the First Baptist Church
was held at the church, corner of
Sixth and Yakima streets. After
partaking of a picnic supper the
members took up the business re-
viewing the work of the year.
Encouraging reports were presented
from the officers and various socie-
ties, which caused all present to be
very much encouraged. Rev. John
Chandler, who has led the church
thus far, now closes his work as
pastor. In consequence of this
there was a sense of regret vet
wlthal keen appreciation of his
labors was expressed on the part of
all. Rev. Chandler will probably
go east. An old friend of the retir
ing pastor, Rev. c. R Delepine, who
is now a resident of the Kennewick
Valley will take an oversight Of
Church and continue the services.

The Democratic Meeting.

The first political meeting of the
campaign was held by the democrats
last evening in the new pavilion
| which had jast been enclosed and ia
a very satisfactory meeting place.
The slowness of the campaign as
compared with other years was evil
denced by the meager attendance.
Between 100 and Us voters were pre-
sent at the meeting and about
twenty prominent democrats as vice.
presidents, occupied seats on the
stage. W. A. Halves was president,
! OF the meeting and Geo. F. Richard
son introduced the speaker and an
nounced the titles of the phonograph
records. Mr.. Pattison spoke briefly
and left the meeting as he expected
to speak in PascO also but was pre-
vented from doing SO on account OF
the bridge being blocked by a freigh1
train.
Mr.. Pattison devoted practically
i his entire time to the bank guaran-
tee plan, which he treated as q state
issue. He advocated a voluntary
system which is an entirely different
plan then that Mr. Bryan is urging
which is compulsory upon all ma
tional banks. The voluntary plan
provides only that bankers may of
their motion form associations.
The deposits in these associated
banks to be guaranteed by the asso-
citation, and under this plan the
association would be the sole Judge
who should become members and
would admit only those whom it
was willing to guarantee.
A bill embodying this plan was in
trOduced In the last congress. and it
is mentioned with approval by Mr..
Taft in his letter of acceptance. Mr..
Pattison was in fact supporting a
republican measure in his speech last
night. The voluntary plan is the
one endorsed by the republicans of
Kansas in their state convention and
is referred by the Washington re-
publican state platform.
In treating on the postal savings
bank plan the speaker was anything
but fair and well informed. He
raised the objection that the moneys
which were deposited in postal
banks would be taken to Washing
ton. d. g., and would be removed
from circulation. A candidate for
governor should know that the
Carter postal savings bank bill
which was favorably reported i'm t..
senate contained the following proc
vision: THE postmaster general
shall deposit postal savings in ma
tiOnal banks. Such deposits
shall, he made in n,tional banks in 9
the states and territories in whicliI
the funds are received, and when y
possible in the counties i'm which such 2
funds are received. and. as far as a
in the immediate vicinity
of the places ut which funds are so
received
MIR. Bryan's canned oratory was
listened to closely and his speech on
the question of campaign contribu-
tions is very strong. Every political
should provide for the sing
ng OF one or more patriotic songs

DESERT
Miner Is LOST


SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. IA
desert miner is missing and another
has reached safety out of the desert
by the narrowest of margins. But
although warned by the experiences
that have befallen many of their
comrades in the wide desolate region,
they believed they were infalliable
and one nearly paid the forfeit with
his life and the other is probably
dead.
None but hardy Greek could have
endured the awful experience of
Louie Mislak, who divided his last
drop of water and bite of food with
his dog, and in saving the animals
life nearly gave up his own. He
started on thirty-mile tramp across
the desert from the Elodrado mines.
1t was one of the hottest of the un-
usually hot days. He left the mines
with a can of beef, loaf of bread
and a small canteen of water. He fed
most of the food and water to the
dog. He was three days in walking
the thirty miles. Twice he fell in the
sand from sheer exhaustion, and each
time he thought he could never get
up The dog gave out completely and
its master carried it for eight miles.
His tongue was swollen to enormous
proportions and he was barely able to
crawl to ranch house near the
Southern Pacific railroad.
J. w. Thomas was an old-time
prospector who has Travelled the
mountains and deserts for years. He
went to Banning and decided to go to
the mines. He had a small canteen
of water and very little food. Peter
Lenghart yesterday headed a search
ing party into the desert to find the
body.

APPLICANTS FOR
DIVORCE SCORED

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 17.-"Such
marriages as these profane the most
sacred relations of society, and are a
scandal and disgrace to the commun-
ity," said Judge Kennedy today, In
refusing to grant divorce to Mrs.
Julia M. Pratt, the wife of Col. J. H.
Pratt, widely known western ranch
cer and rated as millionaire.
Mrs. Pratt married the colonel four
year ago, she being 35 and he rs.
In her testimony she admitted that
she had married him because he was
wealthy and that she had no love, for
him, She, charged physical incompe-
tence, habitual drunkenness and fall
ure to provide. skh8
Judge Kennedy said Mrs. Pratt
knew her husbands age when she
married him and what to expect. He
declared that the two latter charges
had not been proved.
Colonel Pratt, in replying to the
petition, also filed a. cross-bill for di-
vorce, but this also was denied. The
case created sensation in Omaha So
ciety, and the courtroom was crowd
ed with the morbidly curious through
out the trial.

PRESIDENT MAY
TAKE The STUMP

WASHINGTON, Aug, 17.-Close
friends of President Roosevelt and
Judge 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 the most active
manner close on to election time.
That he will appear, personally in
some of the states where the fight as
sumes its most critical phase and talk
directly to the people is regarded as
one of the logical sequences of the
decision of Judge Taft not to make
any stumping tour.
Information from a reliable source
is that Secretary of War Luke Wright
will take the stump for Taft in Ten
nessee, which more than otherwise
would be the case, will become inter
esting territory. In that event it may
mark a more serious attempt than
any yet made to break up the solid
south" and secure political align
ment on new basis. f,f

PULLMAN SHOPS

CHICAGO Aug IL The Pullman
mammoth shops are to be razed and
rebuilt upon tremendous scale for
the express purpose of manufacturing
steel palace cars. The plans, which
are to be put into immediate opera
tion, and which have been in process
of making for half dozen years,
called for revolutionizing of the
method of building Pullman stock
To accommodate the greatly enlarged
shops and the new style machinery
which is to. be installed, the area Of
ground occupied by the workshops of
the Pullman company is to be in
creased to the extent of sixty acres.
The work on the remaking of the
city Of Pullman and its predominant
industry would now be under way
but for the financial furry of last
winter. which threws barriers on the
track of many an industry. A report,
which gained considerable credence
in railroad circles and among finan-
ciers today, was that the Pullman Of
ficials have arrived at a point where
immediate. and rapid perfection of the
plans held SO long in abeyance lies
dead ahead.
The great progress made In the
manufacture of steel cars in the ordi-
nary construction work of railways

about to be taken by the Pullman
company, in the estimation of expeF
