The following item from a Yakima
paper concerning the rush of the coll
onists and homeseekers through east
ern and central Washington and on
to Seattle, before stopping, applies
with equal force to conditions in Ore
gon.
Practically none of the colonists
are stopping off in eastern oregon,
but instead they pass on to Portland
the destination of their colonist tick
cts.
What is said about maintaining a
Yakima publicity bureau In Seattle
might also be said in favor of main
tanning an eastern oregon bureau in
Portland. The Yakima paper says:
Seattle is crowded with people who
have come from the east in search Of
localities in which 1T is possible to
find some profit in the struggle for
the comforts OF existence.
They generally have bought through
''NhNNS w tiiS oOuuu tllleS, Ill WHICH
they establish headquarters while
they make inquiries throughout the
surrounding country. They have all
heard of Puget sound. George Fran
els Train told them about 1t more
than two decades ago. But the great
majority of these homeseekers have
come to engage in pastoral pursuits.
Hence. after a cursory glance at the
sound country, including its plctur-
esque archipelago-which they can
not cultivate with the plow-they
turn, to the Yakima country
A busy Yakima booster could meet
npndreds of such injulrers in Seattle
INA dny-and Just as many the next
nsV and so on. There ought to be
ico Common center established in that
st'y for the dissemination of infor-
.uon about the Yakima- district. its
soil and seasons. its products and
prospects, its climate, and its claim
to being the best all-around country
on earth.
Thousands of homeseekers from the
east would appreciate such an advan-
Itslf'-and the Yakima country would
enjoy much benefit as a result of it.

MESSAGE
President Roosevelt Confers
With Department
Heads.
HE is NOW A BUSY MAN.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The president
is busy holding conferences and work
ing on his annual message to congress.

terror Garfield and Chief Forester Pin
chot recommendations that he will
NAVE concerning their departments

ton matters with Secretary Strauss
and Robert Watchorn, commissioner Of

Secretary Straus explained that Mr..
Watchorn came to talk over work at
the Ellis Island immigrant station.
Mr.. Watchorn's visit revived specu-
lation regarding the successorship to
the Office Of commissioner general of
immigration, the vacancy in which it
was recently announced at the White
House would not be filled until after
election.
The general political situation was
reviewed at an hours conference be-
tween the president and Representative
Loudenslager, of New Jersey, secretary
of the kRepublican congressional COM
mittee. Mr.. Loudenslager said he told
the president that the committee was
getting plenty of activity, though not
plenty Of money, but that the Repub-
lican prospects were good.

IDEA IS FATHEREO

OTHERS ALSO FAVORED.

Gently, that within a few years Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be president OF
the world" has called forth letter
to Dr. Crafts from William o. Mellow
ell, acting executive Of the League
of Peace, asking that the Reform Bur-
eau cooperate with the league in It's
work of bringing about the selection
of a world executive. Mr.. McDowells
letter says in part:
THE time has come and plans are
we'll under way for the election of an
executive with the title of The Peace
maker by the electoral college COM
posed of the intellectual leaders of the
world, something like 100000 schol-
ars. l note your advocacy of Theodo
Roosevelt as the next elected head Of
the executive departemnt, or, as you
designate it, President of the world
So far as l can judge the members of
the electoral college in determining
their ballot, will doubtless look to Am
erica, but you must remember that the
United States has no monopoly of the
great peace workers of the world. In
the writer's opinion the vote cast for
citizens of the United States will be
divided between Andrew Carnegie,
Theodore Roosevelt and the defeate
candidate for the presidency of the
United States whether it shall be Mr.
Bryan or Mr.. Taft"

WHY FEAR EUR0PE2
Candidate Sherman Deals
With Democratic View
Of Tariff.
ENGLISH SYSTEM TOTTERS.

jamestown, N. Y, Oct. 16.-A huge
outpouring of voters last night listened
to James Sherman, the Republican vice
presidential candidate who spoke upon
campaign issues. Although the local
Republican committee had secured the
largest available building, the traction
company's street car barns, an over
flow meeting was necessary.
Mr.. Sherman discussed the tariff,
speaking in part as follows: Mr.. Bry-
ans platform declares in favor of i'm
mediate revision of the tariff by the
reduction of import duties and gradual
reduction on such other schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tariff
to revenue basis.
This is double admission: First,
that the Dingley law is not a revenue
one, and, second, that the Wilson
German Democratic Jaw, which pre-
coded 1t, was intended to be purely a
revenue producer, not protective
measure. The platform declaration
against protection S iclear and dis
tinct.''
Mr.. Sherman described conditions in
France and Germany, which countries,
he declared, insisted upon protective
measurer.
"On the Democratic party" contin-
ued the speaker, lis blind and dull
enough to assume that such rivals in
commerce can be met by crippling our
furnaces and mills, by wagon war on
our manufacturers and degrading the
standard of living of all our people
But not for France and Fermany have
come the most significant signs of the
prevalences of protection. In Great
Britain, the paradise of free trade, the
system creaks and totters."

OLD ENEMIES NOW
STAND FOR HUGHES
All Agree That He Will Be
Elected Governor of
New York.
THEIR MISTAKES ADMITTED
MEN LOUD IN DECLARATIONS Elk
ECUTIvE WAS NOT A REPUBLI-
CAN HAVE BEEN SILENcED-
COUNTRY DISTRICTS FOR HIM.

New York, Oct. 16.-Among the
members of the Advisory committee OF
the state republican committee, which
met at state headquarters, there was
expressed general conviction that
Governor Hughes would be re-ele cted.
The same men who sat up nights ar
Saratoga conve ntion that the governor
could not be elected if nominated. adj
mitted to one another that they were
mistaken and that no other candidate
could have put up such strong fight
or held such an unassailable position
as the governor.
From every section in the state the
committeeman brought encouraging
news, and one and all acknowledged
that they fully expected to see the
governors position before the voters
much strengthened by his effective
personal campaign throughout the
state.
The men who were formerly loud
in their declarations that Hughes was
not republican have been silenced,
as they themselves agreed, by the
speeches the governor had made in be-
half of the election of Taft and the
republican state tickets in the west.
Among themselves they acknowledge
ed that the governor had made good"
They were telling each other what a
surprising effect the governors ener-
getic campaigning was having in the
country districts and villages. The
whole countryside was rising to him,
according to these reports, and thous-
ands of democrats who were going to
vote for Bryan were accepting the is
sue of Hughes reelection on moral
rather than political grounds, and
promising. him their support. The
silent VOTE so the report went, was
sure to go solidly for Hughes.

A DISPLAY OF QUICK WIT.
The American Saved His Pride and
Observed Russian Etiquette.

Observed Russian Etiquette.
The Yankee and the Russian story Il
again on its grand rounds, but as all
attempts to name the original Yankee
nave failed, says London M. A. r.,
II Is safe to pin the anecdote to any
prominent American who may have
visited St. Petersburg.
The Russian has been identified as
the Grand Duke Constantine, younger
brother of the Gear Alexander l.. and
the Incident occurred about 1910.
The Yankee went out for q walk in
March, when the snow was melting
after sudden rain. The street was q
maze Of puddles, divided into sections
by narrow lodges Of snow at the cross
ings, over which pedestrians carefully
felt their way.
The Yankee was Just in the middle
OF such snow bridge when he recog-
nized the Grand Duke Constantine ap-
preaching in the opposite direction.
The path being too narrow for two
persons to pass, the grand duke being
accustomed to every one getting out of
his way, the Yankee being too courte-
GUS to turn his back on a brother Of
the car to return whence he came
and too proud to step servilely into the
slush for a mere prince Of the royal
blood-such was the contretemps.
Quick as a dash our American
whipped out his purse, presented it to
Constantine and asked, even or odd?"
Even" replied the astonlshed
prince.
"You win" said the Yankee and
stepped of into a puddle half a leg
deep.
Constantine, highly pleased by this
peculiarly American proceeding, men
toned 1t to the czar, and our Yankee
was invited to dine at the palace next
day.
