To LEAVE

VANCOUVER, b. c., Sept. A.
Twelve Hindus, rounded up during
the last few days, will be deported
ito Hongkong on the next outgoing
Empress liner. by order of DR..
Monro, dominion medical immigra-
ton officer. A number of them
voluntarily asked to be shipped
across the Pacific. AS these Hin
dus did not come by direct pas
sage from India they will be land
ed at Hoagkong, where there is a
large Hindu population.
Most of those on the list for de-
portation were out of work and
dependent upon their countrymen
for support. DR.. Monro expects
that very large numbers will have
to be shipped to Hongkong within
the next few months, owing to the
likelihood of a suspension of work
on various projects on which the
orientals are employed.

NINE BY

CHICO, CAL, Sept. 14.-Nine per-
sons were hurt and all we're saved
from death by the heroic action of
Dan Jones, the driver, when the
Richardson Springs stage coach
turned over steep grade.
The accident was caused by a
wheel becoming detached from the
axle. The stage suddenly lurched
and was topping over. when Jones,
with lightning activity, jumped
from his seat and put his shoulder
under the axle. as
In this manner he supported the
stage until the most dangerous part
of the precipice had been passed,
but no sooner was the immediate
danger of death to all in the coach
overcome than he collapsed and the
coach went over.
Jones was badly crushed under
one of the horses, and while the ex-
tent of his injuries is not known
yet, it is feared he may not recover
from the terrific strain. The pas
sengers in the coach were badly
shaken up and thrown about, all
receiving severe bruises.

NJUN GREETS INJUN

There was heap much Indian;
big doings' in Spokane today
when delegations from the Spokane
and Occur d'Alene Indian reserva-
lions came to town to greet their
visiting brethren with Buffalo Bits
show. The Indians with the show
appeared on the streets usually
clad in blankets and bearing a
touch of paint on their faces. The
Indians from this vicinity were
clad in the usual citizens clothes
and failed to show up to as good
advantage as their brethren of the
stage. There was much granting
and gesticulating as the Indians
gathered in knots on the street
corners to exchange greetings.
The Indians with Buffalo Bill are
from various tribes of the Sioux
nation and speak different dia-
lect from the one used by the
tribes about Spokane.

NORTH COAST
DOES NOTHING
NO EFFORT MADE TO CARRY
OUT IDE AVENUE AGREE
MENT, AND BOARD OF
WORKS is PoWERLESS.

The much agitated question of
the Ide avenue improvement can
not be downed. After about six
weeks of ease on the subject it
dropped into the meeting of the
board of public works this after
noon, and promises again to regain
its old vigor.
The matter was brought up by
E. A. Nordquist, who stated that
the North Coast railroad, which
fought the improvement, had
agreed in writing to improve four
blocks of Ide avenue. provided the
improvement on the other seven
blocks was permitted to rest.
Nordquist, with the other property
owners on the four blocks, consent
ed to this, but now complain that
five of the six weeks have elapsed
and the North Coast has done
nothing. The board of works
claimed to have no knowledge of
this agreement, and wanted to refer
Mr.. Nordquist to the city council.
Mr.. Nordquist is after the North
Coast in earnest, and is deter
mined that some one at the city
hall shall compel the North Coast
to come through" with the i'm
provement agreed upon.

HOW TO GROW BULBS IN THE

BY EVELYN PRINCE cAHooN.

Early September is the time for
planting bulbs to bloom in the
house for Christmas.
The food for the plant is already
in the bulb, so worry not at all
about the richness of the earth.
One year | had 40 of the finest hya-
cinth and tulip blooms at one time,
that l ever saw-in a box 6lled
with nothing but sand. MaIiWxpeo
pie have a fancy for growing bulbs
in water, but it is a sloppy nbusi-
ness, and has no especial advan-
tages.
The thing which counts above
all others is the strain and condi-
ton of the bulb. AS to the strain,
the word of reliable merchanti is
the best protection against Gsap-
pointment. AS to the health OF
the bulb select one that is heavy

the same points as if it were a
cabbage head.

deep, and the largest ones -four
inches, in a mixture of half sand

clear sand directly at the base OF
each bulb. for drainage, for the

Mrs. Taft Tells This

new automobile.
"While his wife stood on the
doorstep, the husband showed the
automobiles points to his friend,
circling about it, patting its shin

DIDN'T LOOK GOOD
TO JUDGE HANFORD

SEATTLE, Sept. 14.-Willie
George King, an applicant for citi-
zenship, who appeared before
Judge c. II. Hanford in the United
States court, did not make ia
vorable impression on the court,
although he had been INDUCED and
every opportunity to prove his sin
certify had been granted him.
Willie George King sulked. His
lip hung down while his temper
rose, a known human trait. He lost
the opportunity of becoming a citi-
zen by his failure to impress the
court with his respect for an
American institution.

Top photograph shows a view of
all that was left of the town of
Chisholm on the Mesaba range,
northern Minnesota, after a forest
fire had overwhelmed it a few days
ago. Chisholm was a growing,
prosperous little city in the great
iron mining region. The woods
for miles had been ablaze for days,
but Chisholm was hoping that the
path of flame would pass her by,
when suddenly the wind changed.
Showers of burning embers soon
began to fall and in five minutes
the roaring avalanche of fire had
almost wiped out the town. Only a

half burned ruin here and there

CLASS BUFFALO
BILL AS CIRCUS

Buffalo Bills business agent to-
day objected to paying the 5000 IL
cense fee asked by the city from
circuses on the ground that the
Wild West is not a circus, but a
show. Comptroller Farley could
not see it that way, and an appeal
was made to Corporation Counsel
Hamblen, who held that Buffalo
Bill came under the circus classifi-
cation, whereupon the license fee
was paid.
Comptroller Farley said that
even if the Wild West were held
not to be a circus it would have to
take out license for year, which
would cost 5000, the same as under
the present circus ordinance.

WILL FIGHT LOSE
REPUBLICANS IOWA?
Special Correspondence to The Pres,

Special Correspondence to The Press
DES MONIES, Sept. 14.-The
battle raging around Governor AL
bert B. Cummins in his struggle be-
fore the legislature for the seat of
the late Senator Allison is the eli
max of bitter fight that has been
in progress III Iowa for a dozen
years.
Then Cummins, candidate for
senator, had clear majority in
the Legislature, but was defeated by
corrupt methods. His following,
called the progressives, gained con-
troll of the party machine and have
held it ever since, but by desperate
hand to hand fighting.
In the seven years of Cummins
administration as governor, the
election, corporation and taxation
laws of the state have been almost
entirely rewritten, with the result
that the interests which have been
outlawed or forced to pay a much
higher proportion of the general
taxes than before are bitterly an
tagonistic to the whole progressive
movement, and are determined that
Cummins shall not be sent to
Washington to add to the strength
of the progressive movement there.

third nomination and election as
governor on the platform of pri-
mary law and submission of the
senatorial nomination to the peo-
pie. The law was passed and Cum
Minis became a candidate for the
senate to succeed Allison.
The opposition won for Allison in
the primaries this spring by appeal
ing to sentiment and veneration for
old age and an honored career. The
Cummins people claimed that ALI
son was on his deathDed and this
proved true.
After AllisOns death it became
evident that the factional feeling
was such as to endanger the legis-
lature unless it was provided that
the republicans could again vote
for their candidate for the senate.
To meet this, the governor called
the legislature in special session,
and he urged an amendment to
The law so that the senatorial mat
ter could again be submitted di-
rect to the voters. A bill will be
passed to provide for this. But
it was discovered that under the
law the legislature is in duty
bound, at this session, to elect a
senator to fill the vacancy. Ac-
cordingiy the republican joint
caucus committee called re-
publican caucus of the legislative
members.
The conservatives said that the
legislature should wait till after
the November election, and Al
did not attend the caucus. But
SO, or a clear majority of all the
republican members, attended, and
on the ballot Cummins received So
votes to / for Congressman Hau-
gen.
The progressives claim al least
so votes for the caucus nominee in
the legislature, but it takes IS to
elect. The democrats will vote for
Porter. The standpatters say they
will scatter their votes.
In case of the deadlock in the
legislature, which is threatened by
the action of a minority of the re-
publicans, the whole senatorial
matter will be left open and will be
fought out in the legislative dis
tricts, where every candidate will
be compelled to say who he will
vote for for the senate. The re-
suit Is regarded as certain to lead
to a democratic legislature and p
democrat will succeed Allison in
