"SaIome?" oh. Nunno,

Fort Worth, Tex. Oct, S.--A NOV
ing picture production of "Salome"
at a benefit performance for the Fort
Worth Federation Of Women's clubs i?
Decidedly, no. The benefit is set for
next Monday night. and when the
manager of the theater suggested a
canvasback "Salome" as an attraction
certain to pack the house and cause
every man in town to fight for the
privilege of buying ticket for ad-
mission, he little dreamed of the storm
he would raise. The clubwomen
raised their hands in horror at the
suggestion and put their feet down so
emphatically upon the proposition
that 1t was Immediately squelched.
The proceeds of the benefit, minus
"Salome," will go to Emergency
Home, as will those of a racing matt

good of the Klamath project some
more competent man should displace
Mr.. Murphy The resolutions were

two of them refusing to sign them.
For more than year this action
has been desired by many of the
members of the association, and at the
last meeting of the body an effort was
made Ia pass a resolution asking the
removal of Murphy, but his friends
secured an adjournment before such
action could be taken.
The feeling against Engineer Muir
ply was very bitter when the bids,
for the construction of the Clear lake
dam was rejected, but it subsidized
when it was learned that he had rec
ommended the acceptance of the low
est bid. 1t was still more allayed
wnen work was begun by force ac-
count on this part of the project, but
there was such general dissatisfac-
tion and so many complaints have
been made to the directors that they
deem it for the best interests of the
project that some more practical man
should displace Mr. Murphy. 1t will
doubtless be some time before the
secretary of the interior will take any
action on the request of the board of
directors, and Engineer Murphy re-
fuses to discuss the matter. However,
it has been stated by some Of his
friends that he will resign in the near
future.

Columbia, Mo, oct. S.-A newspa-
per war of the most virulent kind has
broken out at the University of Mis-
souri, between the supporters of the
Daily Missourian, the publication Of
the new School Of Journalism, and
the Sunday Independent, a student
publication. The daily paper is under
the management of Walter Williams,
head Of the journalistic school of the
university. and his conduct of the
sheet aroused the animosity of some
of the students. The disgruntled ones
started an opposition sheet, and while
it is a weekly, its appearance on sun
day mornings enables it to scoop the
daily paper by giving the first reports
of important football games and 9TH
er athletic contests most of which are
held on Saturday, too late for the
Daily Missourian to cover.

TRIUMPH Of
THE COMBINE"
NORTHWEST SETS
HARVEST RECORD
GO. .OOO. 900 Bushels of Grain Gathered
in Three States Without Labor
Trouble or Delay.

Twenty-Five hundred and fifty
combined harvesting machines, oper-
ated by steam, gasoline, horses and
mules, and 10000 men were required
to garter the wheat crop estimated at
10000, 900 bushels, in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. The value of the
crop is placed at from $4,000, 900 to
$50.000,000.
The machines cut about so per cent
of the total yield and on this it is esti-
mated there was a saving of 5 cents
a bushel and two bushels of waste
grain to the acre, adding nearly $2,-
600, 900 to the revenue Of the produc-
els. The men were paid $4,000, 900 in
wages. the average cost of saving the
crop being 10 cents a bughel, exclu-
sive Of bags and hauling to ware
houses.
The harvesters established a new
record this year in saving the crop
i'm the three states. as never before
were the wheat belts stripped of their
stands Of grain in such time. The
farmers had the most efficient help
in years and at no time were they
obliged to suspend or even curtail op-
erations because Of shortage.
The average earning of each man
was 500 for the season. The aver
age threshing crew Of four men head
ed stacked and threshed 1000 bush
els a day. The average yield was a
little more than 90 bushels to the acre
while individual fields reported as
high as AZ bushels.

NOTED CHIEF DROWNED.
Head of Makaah Indians Goes Out in
Canoe and Never Returns.

a report received from Neah bay,
on Puget Sound, tells of the almost
certain loss at sea Of Chief Peter. one
Of the best known of the Makaah In
dians at the Makaah reservation,
near Cape Flattery. The chief left
his home a few days ago in a canoe
on fishing trip into the waters Of
the Strait Of Juan de Fuca, near the
entrance to the ocean, says one report.
His failure to return caused a search
to be made, without success. The
crew Of the new life saving station at
Waadah island was called upon for
aid, and after searching the waters
along Vancouver island found the
chiefs canoe, floating and partially
filled with water.
The death Of Chief Peter removes
one Of the Oldest of the Makaah In
dams, and one Of the links connecting
the tribe with historical events Of
pioneer days. He had been associated
with the federal government Of the
reservation, upon which his declining
years were spent, since 1879, at which
time he was appointed chief Of the
Makaah police. Although nearly 80
years Of age. he held the office up to
the time Of his death.
In his tribe, Chief Peter was best
known for his acts OF moderation be-
tween Indians Of the Sound in early
days. It is said Of him that, with but
one exception, his counsel in disputes
between the tribes averted actual
warfare The exception was when he
engaged with a force Of Slallam In

Electric power in mountain railroad
ing will be the next move of the great
trans-continental lines. II Is believed
that George j. Gould's purpose in or
ganizing the Western Power company
was to get locations for power plants
to be used in the operation of the
Western Pacific railroad. The VAST
ern Power company now has agents
all along the Western Pacific, buying
up water rights and good locations
for power plants. When these agents
first commenced their activities II
was generally supposed that Mr.
Gould intended to reach out for some
of the enormous profits which have
been made by the large western pow
er companies, but now II Is understood
that the Western Power companys
recent acquisitions are mainly for the
use of the Western Pacific. although
It is probable that power will be sold
to mining companies and other con-
Germs along the line of the new rail-
road.
Edward II. Hartman also favors
electric power in mountain railroad
ing. As soon as financial conditions
improve, it is said, he will spend
about s4O,O0O.OOO in enninping the
mountain divisions upon his lines
which cross three mountain ranges,

is an Improvement which is bound to
come, because 1t is in line with the
cheapening of operation, which must
come before the people can hope to
realize lower freight rates.
"The government will not permit
of the combination of parallel and
competing lines Of railway, rightly
enough, but 1t should permit combi-
nations of connecting lines for the
purpose of further cheapening the
cost of operation. The railroads OF
the country have for some years
been spending millions with the sole
view of reducing their cost of opera
tion, to meet the demand for lower
freight rates. 1t is in line with this
effort that the project of electrifying
