The county court says as far as
they are concerned nothing has been
changed in regard to the county
fair. The proposition is up to Jo-

to forego holding the fair this year
and make an exhibit at the La
Grande fair, it is their business to
decide.

Rats Are Wise.

Rats. which have Of late become a
great nuisance to the London tubes
by attacking the coverings of electric
cables. have been driven from their
haunts by means Of a virus which,
when eaten by rats or mice, causes
them to be overcome with the desire
to get into the outer air and to drink
cold water. 1t is curious and inter
esting fact that the rats knew where
the tube was nearest to the surface,
as evidenced by the great numbers
which found their way to the top at
the Trafalgar Square station.

IT IS ALL GUESS WORK UNTIL

Review Of the Names Being Mentioned
and the Probabilities of Their
Final Selection.

Washington-The decision of Presi-
dent-elect Taft to refrain from making
public the names of men he has select
ed to be members of his cabinet, with
the exception of Senator Knox and
Frank H. Hitchcock, has had the effect
to incite much gossip. With no posi-
bility of an official contradiction con-
fronting them, would-be cabinet build
erS are now free to exercise their in
genuity and imagination to the full
and are not slow to avail themselves
of the opportunity. Without doubt the
many names which are being brought
forward for the various portfolios are
those of at least a few successful as
pirants, but it is decidedly unsafe to
attempt to indicate who they are. The
most that can be done is to accept
probabilities as such, simply because
any attempt to make positive state
ments would be unwarranted in the
light of last nights announcement
from Augusta.
The only possibility of accurate in
formation transpiring regarding the
seven vacant cabinet positions lies In
the promise of the friends of some of
the selected persons to discuss the
matter, for it is hardly conceivable
that any public man would decide upon
the acceptance of cabinet Office
without comforting with his personal
friends.
Yet Senator Knox, on his return
from Augusta Sunday, rather grim
ly limited that any candidate who
either personally Or through his
friends betrayed the confidence of the
president-elect might find that after
all he was not on the list and this
statement may have some effect in re-
straining cabinet talk by people who
are really advised.
But following in the line of prob
abilities certain names, by dint of re-
iteration in connection with cabinet
vacancies without developing denials,
have come to be regarded as feasible
Such. for instance, is that of George
w. Wickersham, the New York law
yer and legal partner of Henry Taft,
the president-elect's brother. He has
been consistently mentioned in con-
nection with the attorney generalship
But it should be remembered that
Senator Knox is a potent influence
with the president-elect and that he
has q feeling of the highest regard
and adm:dation for the abilities of So
licitor General Hoyt, with whom he
was in intimate relations during his
own occupancy of the Office of attor-
ney general. 1t easily may be be-
lieved that he would urge Hoyt's Sc
lection should it develop that Wicker
sham's appointment was found to be
inexpedient in the very fact of his bu-
siness connections with the president
elects brother.
The fact being conceded that the
Pacific coast is to be represented in
the new cabinet causes great weight
to be given to the suggestion that
Richard A. Ballinger is to be the
lucky man and his name has been
connected with the secretaryship of
the interior. although it is we'll known
that the Pacific coast people would
prefer that the naval portfolio come
to their section. because of their i'm
portant navy yard interests.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty ana fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality OF the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Washington.-No subject has been
discussed recently at the capital with
such fervor as President Roosevelt's
disclosure of Senator Tillman's al

deal, but the colleagues of the South
Carolinian are inclined to withhold
judgment until he has had an oppor-
tunity to explain. It is likely that
when the doors of the senate open

awaiting admittance Sufficient to fill
the galleries many times, who want
