employers divorced him from the
job because they discovered he
was playing the bucket shops. In
stead of hunting another job, he
began to speculate in earnest. He
came to New York with his wife
to whom he is devoted, and be
fore Wall street knew of his ex-

through half dozen banks. That
was in 1905 when he was 81

TAKES RIGHT KIND

1t is not paved streets, mot

grounds, nor public institutions
that make great city but people;
people with character, with educa-
ton, width distinctive purpose i'm

Such was the message brought
to the convention of the improve
ment clubs of five states which
met in convention in the CONNER
cial club last might by President
Penrose of Whitman college.

ated" full list of candidates, from
governor to the county tickets.
1t Is unnecessary to add that Tho
men they nominated" are well
known seasoned corporation men.
Jay Brown, who heads the ticket,
was once president of the state
senate and is a Hartman attor-
ney. One of the candidates for
supreme court Judge is the Wells
Fargo representative, Wallace Nc
Cammant. The two candidates for
congress thus endorsed are the
present incumbents, Hawley and
Ellis, parts of the corporation sys-
tenn headed in the national legisla-
ture by Speaker Cannon.
The other candidates are like
them. They all wear the corpora
ton collar and are relied upon to
do the bidding of their corpora
ton masters.
And more. They are relied upon
to oppose the entire plan of peo-
pies rule. The legislative ticket
is made up of hand picked" men
chosen to oppose:
1. Popular choice of members
of the United States senate as
worked out by the Statement
Number One" feature of the pri-
mary law.
2. The initiative and referen-
dunn.
8. Reform of the land tax laws
a. Extension and perfection OF
the primary law.
However and whenever any OF
these questions might come before
them, these agents of the System
would be on the job to pervert, dis
tort and check the popular major
ity.
This assembly" - be it under
|stood-had no authority of law
and no standing in custom of the
conscience of the state. The law
provides a way to nominate these
candidates, but this way has been
ignored. The corporation interests
like the "old time party" way.
They like the party ners>s. as a
mask to hide behind; and as reg
ular republicans" they hope to
steal upon the voters unawares
and to grasp the power they once
possessed.
VIII they succeed?
Early in September the pri-
maries will take place and their
results will show.

HARD TO ESTIMATE
NUMBER OF DEAD
IBy Associa ted Press. I

Spokane. Wash, Aug 26.-Tele-
graphic communication with the St.
Joe valley of Idaho has been retsored
but 1t Is not yet possible to verify the
reports of the large loss of life among
the fire fighters, additional to the 65
reported by the government officials.
The estimate of 200 dead in the
states Is adhered to by persons who
are familiar with the situation.
Today Head Ranger Debbitt. who
is stationed at Avery, Idaho, comedies
the death of Ranger Joseph B. Hahn
and party of seventy men in all, on
the headwaters of the st. Joe.
source of confusion in computing
the lives of the dead is that all the
fire fighters who were first included
in the number employees of the United
States forest service in the st. Joe
valley, it is now learned that the
Italians and Austrians who lost many
men because of their inexperience in
fire fighting were employees of logging
companies. The eight men killed in
the Bullion mine tunnel. in Montana,
were employed by the mining COM
pany. Striking their names from the
list of rangers does not, however,
make any change in the grand total
of dead.

BURGLARS FAIL

An attempt was made last night to
rob the dental office of DR.. E. C.

trance was forced by breaking the
large glass in the door into the re-

Doubtless the robbers were not ex-

the office or some one in the build
ing frightened them away for aside
from the broken glass and general
disorder of the room no damage was
done and as yet nothing of value has
been missed.
In the safe was some money and

thousand dollars and had the burg

made a good haul. People asleep on

Moffat Road to Build.

Denver.-David H. Moffat has pro
gressed so far with his plans for IL.
nancing the tunnel through the main
range on the Moffat road that he and
William G. Evans, who has been
closely associated with him in this en-.
terprise, have deemed the present
time adventitious for giving the pub.
lie necessary information regarding
this subject, which means so much to
Denver and other parts of Colorado.
While it has not been determined, def
initely, when work will start on the
tunnel which will place Denver on the
RAILROAD map of the country, direct,
there is every reason to believe that
the coming spring will see modern
tunneling machinery boring from both
ends. AS is learned from letter pub
lished from Vice President Evans tc
Mr.. Moffat, the length and the COST
of the undertaking are much less thar
had been expected. The advantages
from the tunnel would be inestimablt
to this city and to the empire of thu
northwest.
