President Sends Condolences

DENVER, Sept. 21.-President
Taft today sent telegram of condo
lence to Mrs. johnson, wife of Gov
ernor johnson of Minnesota, who died
early today after an operation per-
formed Wednesday last. The presi-
dent told Mrs. johnson that her hus-
band was national figure of great
ability and his loss will be felt far be-
yond the STATE that loved him so well.
The president also gave out a state
ment in which he spoke most feeling
ly of the governors death, declaring
that while he opposed him politically,
on many points they agreed. "He was
wonderful man." said the president,
and calling attention to his common
sense, his courageousness as a pub
lie official and his capacity, the presi-
dent added that his taking away lat
the age of 48 should be and is a
source of national regret"

WELCOME COOK
RECEIVES GREAT OVATION
Refuses to Discuss Commander Peary
Until Latter Arrives to Defend
Himself.

NEW YORK, Sept 21.-Declaring
he has come from the pole and that
he has not come home to enter into
any arguments but has a clear record
on which he is perfectly willing to
stand before competent judges, and
declaring he will bring to America hui
man witnesses to prove he has beer
at the pole, DIR. Cook landed today oil
American soil. Early this morning
Mrs. Cook and her two daughters We're
brought to the side of the Oscar ii
on a tug, and so warmly was Mrs
Cook welcomed by the explorer that
he even missed the children, until his
wife silently led him to them.
Soon after Cook went aboard the
reception steamer, the Grand Repub-
lie, friends put a wreath of roses
about his neck. On shore the really
formidable part of the day awaited
Cook. From the deck of the steamer
Cook could see long lines of automo-
biles and the long streets of Brooklyn
black with thousands. and as he
stepped ashore it was noticeable that
no representative of the nation, state
or city were there to greet him,
though Bird s. Coler, president of the
Borough of Brooklyn, had welcomed
him on the steamer. Brooklyn's re-
ception took all the elements of riot
except violence, the massed thousands
seemingly TO have only one desire
to break through the lines of police
and militiamen and embrace Cook.
Cook had to fight his way to an
automobile and the police had to fight
the way through which to allow
Cooks car to pass. In fact. until
Cook left the Bushwick club in
Brooklyn for the Waldorf it was a
continual effort to keep the crowds in
check. Later he held a reception of
three hours but not quarter of the
people in line were able to reach him.
In a short talk with newspaper men
Cook declined to say anything about
Peary until the latter is here to defend
himself.

HUNDREDS GO
TO VISIT A-y-P
BIG EXCURSIONS FROM VALLEY
Yakima and Walla Walla People to
Number of Nearly Two Thousand
Go To Seattle.

Five hundred people from North
Yakima and as many more from the
valley south of this city and almost
as many more from Ellensburg with
some stragglers from the towns at the
upper end of the Kittitas valley went
TO Seattle Tuesday to participate in
the features there today comprising
the "Valleys of the Yakima day at
the fair. The people from this city
and vicinity travelled in special
train. Those from the lower valley
were in extra cars attached to the
regular Pasco-Seattle express The
trains left this part of the valley be-
tween 1890 and II o'clock a. m. AT
about o'clock in the afternoon
special train carrying some 500 Walla
Walla excursionists went through
North Yakima. All these trains pick

Many of the excursionists, despite
fruit growing disIicts, descended
from the trains at the stations here
and purchased apples, grapes. and
other local fruits at the fruit stand
at the station here.
Music was a feature of the trains
The regular had the Sunnysde band on
board. the special from here had the
Yakima Juvenile band with it and
the Ellensburg people took their mu-
steal aggregation with them. While
every person wore badge and many
carried small pennants or some other
emblem indicating that they repre-
sented the Yakima valleys, there
were no banners in evidence though
there had been made ample provision
for such. These banners are to be
used in Seattle on the street cars on

WILL WAIT FOR
BILLY SUNDAY
BEFORE LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN
Backers of Temperance Cause Believe
That Evangelists Work Will
Materially Aid.

The prospects are that there will
ma county this fall to determine
whether the county shall be wet or
dry. Several things have figured into
the abandonment of the fight which
was mapped out few weeks ago but
the prime reason as given by one of
the leaders Tuesday was that the min
isterial union and church leaders be-
lieve that inasmuch as Evangelist
Billy Sunday is to come to North Yak
ina some time soon, the campaign
will be much more easily conducted
after the evangelist has concluded his
work here. This will postpone the To-
cal option campaign until the fall of
1910.
Minus Leader.
The local option cause in the Yaki-
ma valley just at present seems to be
shy a leader. The republicans look
to the democrats to start the fire.
works, and the prohis are waiting for
their stronger political brethren to
start the upheaval. No one wants to
be the Moses to lead Yakima county
into the "dry' column. Party lines ap-
parently have dampened the ardor of
the ringleaders Of the fight against
"booze." One temperance advocate
who figured prominently in the last
election thinks that the fear Of jeo-
pardizing their business interests has
something to do with the sudden lack
of interest.
Liquor Interests Busy.
The liquor interests of this and
every other section of the state fear
the result of a call for a local option
election. They have started a cam
paign of education in a quiet way.
Representatives of the dispensers of
tabooed thirst quenchers lose no OPP
portunity to impress upon the minds
of voters-young and old-their side
of the "dry" question and show facts
and figures and pictures to prove
their arguments. They expect the
fruits of their labor to show up when
a dry" election is called.

TETON LAND
OWNERS BUSY
PREPARING Fur SATURDAYS WORK
Many Questions VIII he Asked ut
Meeting Which VIII Consider the
Question of Assessment.

When members of the Teton Water
Users association and others interest
ed in land under the Tieton canal
meet in adjourned annual session at
the court house aSturday the question
of an assessment of $50 per acre OF
land under the project to raise money
for its completion in 1911 will be con-
sidered. Some of those heavily inter-
ested favor the assessment idea.
Others equally heavily interested are
opposed. All want water on the land
at as early date as possible but the
trend of opinion appears to favor
some bonding proposition. To bring
this about it will necessary To reor-
ganize the Water Users association
al | II is altogether probable that the
meeting of Saturday win adjourn
without taking definite action other
than to provide for expansion of the
association to meet the needs.
Lands Under tho Ditch.
There are approximately 5000 acres
under the TETON project which are
not held by private owners OF these
some $500 acres belong to the state:
600 acres to the Northern Paciic rail-
road and 800 to the United States.
All this land will be under the ditch.
Some of those interested in the mat
ter of early completion of the ditch
are anxious to know what proportion
of the burden of expense this land is
to carry They feel that they should
not overtax themselves to place water
within reach of land of the state, the
railroad ard the federal government
unless those owners are to bear a por-
ton of the burden of development.
Including the 5000 acres above re-
ferred to and with them the $4,000
acres of privately owned land there
are some 1900 acres in all which
will be below the canal and under the
influence of the water it is to
distribute.
Not Water Enough for all.
The canal according to many of the
land owners. will carry water for
about $4,000 acres only, which is little
m ore than half the acreage under the
project The question naturally arises
then. How is the water to be divided.
If all or only the $4,000 acres of pr-
vately owned land join in the expense
for early completion who is to get
the water and who isn't?
These questions, it Is said, VIII be
asked at the meeting of Saturday IL
discussion Is opened relative to the
Ticton project. In the meantime those
, interested are either preparing to be
present or are arranging proxies so
that the action taken will represent
n large proportion of the votes entit-
led to avoice in the proceedings.

to mention an army of laymen drawn
into the votex Of the wheat pit by

Mr. Patten paid his respects to Sec.
rotary of Agriculture Wilson, declar.
Ing that the latter's estimate Of avail.
able supplies is joke. and lectnred
reporters who he alleged have been
more entertaining than accurate In
their stories. ..
As to talk OF removing the tariff
as a slap at manipulators, Mr.. Pat
the was for 1t.
II am in favor OF removing It right
now, because we will have to do It in
side Of ten years at any rate. It would
not affect the price Of wheat pen
ny. for the markets Of the world are
on a parity right now"
July, which went to 114N under
tremendous pressure on Thursday,
closed today within q shade Of the
best price Of the week. at 1851.
Whether this price is too high or
too low cannot Of course be known
until the time for delivery on con-
tracts. Both Secretary Wilson and
Mr.. Patten have remarked that
time will tell'' and "time" in the
present instance means two months

Fierce Contest Expected.
That the fight between opposing in
terests will be one Of the mcst ex-
citing in the history Of the board OF

who believe In the accuracy Of tho
