Forest Fire Losses Big

Advices from Washington are to
the effect that officials of the Z. S.
Department of Agriculture are of the
opinion that 1910 will hold the record
many years for the severity Of the
losses from forest fires. The summer
fires followed spring season believed
to have been the worst, certainly in
the lake states, known for long time.
Nor is it wise to assume that the dan
ger is over when the fierce conhagra-
tions which have called forth in the
mountain states the efforts of the three
federal departments have been con-
quered. The forests will not be safe
until the fall rains and SHOWS have
once more made wet blanket of the
dry forest floor. That the total losses
of the year will run up to many mil.
lions of dollars is considered certain
How such losses may be prevented
is matter Of general public concern
To the national forest timber burned
must be added great amounts on state
and private holdings, besides the i'm
mense damage done to town, farm, and

Portland. Me-, Sept. 13.-With the
returns practically complete. a sweep
ing democratic victory in Maine is al
most certain. Frederick Plaisted
was elected governor and he is DEM
ocratic, as are the congressman elected
In the first, second and third districts.
The result In the fourth district Is
doubtful. The democrats have a ma
5ority in the state senate and prob
ably also in the house, thereby assur-
ing the election of O democratic Unit
ed States senator to succeed Hale.
The republicans admit Plaisted out
generated them. He realized the city
vote was necessary and so concen-
trated all his efforts in the cities The
democratic victory will probably mean
the re-submission Of the question of
prohibition to the voters. Plaisted
declares local conditions were not re-
sponsible for his victory. High
prices, republican control by interests.
Cannonism and other national issues
were responsible" he said.

Beverly, Sept. 13. The executive Of
flee here did not issue any statement
regarding the democratic victory in
Maine heretofore a staunch republi-
can state, but the results shocked
President Taft, and his advisers, par
ticularly since Taft made semi-repub-
lican speeches in Maine on his recent
trip. One of the results of the Maine
election will be the hurried change
Of plans in the campaign for Ohio
and New York. Some of the ablest
republicans will be sent to Ohio to
spell-bind as the administration is
particularly anxious to win in Taft's
home state
Although nothing like a statement
has been given out, 1t is commonly re-
ported that Taft does not intend to
seek denomination in 1912. Support
ers of Taft and Roosevelt deny that
there is a breach between the two
men. but the Maine results are look
ed upon as an indication that there
is no love lost between them.
In New York the situation is con-
sidered critical. An open rupture be-
tween the progressives headed by
Roosevelt and the old guard has oc-
CURED. This means a fight within
the party which must be healed after
the Saratoga convention or the demo-
Gratis will gain another advantage.

PRIMARIES IN NEW
YORK CITY TODAY

New York Sept. 13.-Primary cleo
tions Of both parties, preceding the
state conventions to be held the lat
ter part of the month, were held to-
day in all the boroughs of Greater
New York. The primaries in the
state, outside OF the metropolis, will
not be held until next Thursday.
Although strenuous efforts have
been made by party leaders to har-
monize all factions, there is consider
able friction in a few of the assem-
bly, districts. There are primary con-
tests for control of the democratic or
ganization In half dozen New York
county districts and several in Brook
lyn and Staten Island. Only one of
the contest, however, is considered
seriously as likely to upset the exist
ing regime. That is in the Thirty
fifth assembly district n the Bronx.
Charles F. Murphy, the big chief Of
Tammany has succeeded in quieting
most OF the discomfort in the Tam
many districts. In the thirteenth
there has been the usual warfare on
John F. Curry, led. as usual by Fran
els p. Coughlin, an undertaken. Cur
ry is one of the leaders who lost his
official head in the Tammany reverse
at the polls last fall. The combina-
tion of thirteenth district and an un-
dertaker looks bad for him.

MEACHAM Scene
OF NEAR TRAGEDY
SHOOTING SCRAPE
ALMOST ENDS FATALLY
Bullet From Revolver of "Slim'' Max
well. Makes Wound on Scalp of
Charles Hubbard-Two Men Tell
Conflicting Stories.

Charles Hubbard, an employe of
the Meacham sawmill is wearing a
bandage over a severe scalp wound
made by a revolver bullet, while
"Slim" Maxwell, Meacham wood
chopper, is occupying cell in the
County Jail, as the result of a shoot
ing scrape which occurred at Meacham
late yesterday afternoon.
The story of the affair as told by
the two participants is somewhat con-
flicting but the case will be presented
to the grand jury by the district at
torney. What action that body will
take is only a matter OF conjecture
1t seems that J. Peterson, proprie-
tor of the near beer saloon had gone
to La Grande, with a boy who had
been wounded in a cutting affray
which occurred in the drinking joint,
few days ago. He left Maxwell in
charge of the place during his abb
sence.
While Maxwell was thus in charge,
group of mill hands came in. Ac-
oording to Maxwell it became neces-
sary for him to go to the cellar and
when he returned Hubbard was lean
ing over the counter with his hand
in the till. He says he ordered him
to put back some money which he
had taken out and when the man re-
fused that he struck him over the
head with the gun, whereupon the
weapon was discharged. Hubbard,
however, says he never had his hand
III the till and that when Maxwell
came back up stairs he accused Hub
bard Of taking the money and shot
without justification.
Fortunately the ball simply made a
scalp wound but tore the whole top OF
the hat out, showing what it would
have done had the gun been pointed
a little lower.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakely went to
Meacham on the early train and re-
turned on the local with both men.

Administration Has Made Bitter
Fight Against Poindexter.

Olympia, Sept. 13.-With the pri-
maries in progress today, every can
didate for the United States senatori-
al endorsement claims a victory. The
insurgents assert Miles Poindexter will
carry King county, Burke's home, by
1000 and the entire state by a plu-
rality of 10000. The Burke manag-
ers declare that Burke will carry the
state with a plurality of $500. With
Ashton and Burke splitting the regu-
lar vote, indications are that Poin-
dexter will receive the endorsement.
There is good weather in all parts of
the state and fairly heavy voting DUR
ing the forenoon. Approximately
100000 republicans are registered.
There is little interest being taken
in the democratic primaries. The
outcome of the senatorial fight am
ong the republicans however is at
| tracing the attention of the nation
due to the frenzied efforts of the ma
tional administrative forces to con-
centrate on one man in an effort to
beat Poindexter. On this account ex-
Senator Wilson withdrew 12 days
, ago in Burke's favor. General Ash
/ ton however refused to withdraw and
the result is that the republicans are
split badly and Poindexter has ar
immense advantage.
The polls opened at IL o'clock this
| forenoon and there was heavy vot-
ing in all of the large cities. In Ia
coma, the Poindexter and Ashton vote
was heavy and the Burke vote light

At Seattle Poindexter led Burke one

polling places. At Bellingham Poin-

Ashford, the discoverer of the hook
worm, is now in Europe to take part
in the congresses of hygiene and
health. Maj. Ashford has been sta

ease which he was the first to trace
to its origin. He declares that 300.-
000 cases of hookworm have been re-
ported in Porto Rico, equal to one
third of the population of the island
The death rate from the disease,
which at first averaged forty in each
1000 cases, has been reduced to half
that number
