The Solid South" is more so
than ever. Despite the glowing re-
ports that the smile of Taft and the
dental incisors Of Col. Roosevelt
were making serious inroads on The
traditions of DiNie, the election
showed no indication of such CON
diuon. Where Prohibition was the
issue it was defeated. The tariff
and demand for clean politics,
undomiuated by the special inter
ests, welded the south more closely
together than ever.

WATERV|L[E GOES
AFTER WATER
Have Opened Negotiations
for Flow From Spring
on McGinnis Ranch.
EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
Proceedings Leading to Con-
demnatlon for Public Use
May Be Brought.

Waterville wants water. And /.
she wants it she will probably get
it, as that is the Waterville way.
Waterville also wanted railroad
and she got it. 1t is probable that
the same thing will occur in refer
ence to plenty of good city water.
Negotiations have been on for
some time in reference to the water
from the McGinnis ranch, known by
old timers as the Platt Corbaley
place. While no offer has yet been
made for the water, it is expected
that the city will soon submit a pro-
position to Mr.. McGinnis. If proper
arrangements cannot be had the
matter will be taken through the
courts in a condemnation suit The
spring on this place is a fine on and
furnishes supply of the purest wa
ter, large enough for a city much
larger than Waterville is at the pres
ent time. The water has been used
for irrigation purposes and it is
probable that it will cost the town
some money.

FOREST FIRES DE-
STROY HOTEL
No Lives Lost When Health
Resort Plant is
Burned.

Hot Springs, Aug. 20.-Flames
spreading from forest conflagrations
at o'clock last night totally de-
stroyed the Hot Springs hotel and
plant on the line of the Northern
Pacific, King county, causing a loss
estimated at $4,000, with an insur-
ance of approximately $4,000.
Forest fires have been raging in
the Green river valley for several
days, but no apprehension has been
felt.
Green River Hot Springs until
last Monday has been under the
proprietorship of DR.. J. S. Kloeber.
On that day he turned over the plant
to North Yakima interests for a con-
sideration of S145, 900.
When the fire broke out in the
hotel, in which the telephone and
telegraph wires were situated, means
of communication were cut off, but
later in the evening wires were
strung outside of the fire zone.
Green River Hot Springs came in
to prominence in 1900, when DR..
Kloeber established a health resort
there and built a complete plant.
Although a number of patients
were in the hotel at the time, no

report came to Roosevelt's attention
that Chairman Lloyd Griscom was to

CHOLERA SCOURGE
IN ITALY
Italians Panic Stricken at
Alarming Spread of
Epidemic.

Bari. Italy, Aug. 20.-The cpl
demic of cholera in Southern Italy
is steadily showing an increase in
the districts affected, particularly in
the town of TAM, where the number
of deaths already is more than thir-
ty.
The latest official reports last
night gave twenty deaths at TAM
showing the rapidity with which the
disease is increasing there. The cpl
demic is of a virulent type and the
death rate is high.
Even graver danger is anticipat-
ed from the flying population of the
infected districts, who may bear the
germs of the disease to regions not
yet involved.
Tani seems almost deserted as a
result of the panic, 10000 persons,
fully half of the population, having
fled from the town. Fully as many
have escaped from the island town
OF Barletta.

i AM IN THIS FIGHT To
STAY JUDGE BURKE
Senatorial Candidate Denies Report That He is to Pull
Out of Race in Favor of John L. Wilson-Wires Daily
World That He Will Not Throw Down His Friends
but Will Abide by the Popular Vote in September.

During the past few days there
have been persistent rumors that
Judge Thomas Burke would with
draw from the race for United States
senator, and throw his support to
John l.. Wilson, publisher of the
Post-Intelligencer, and bitter politi-
cal rival, in an effort to beat Miles
Poindexter. The campaign has de-
veloped the fact that without elm
sweep the state and receive the pop
ular vote for United States senator.
In an effort to stem the tide there
has been many conferences in Seat
tie relative to inducing either Judge
Burke or John L. Wilson to with
draw from the race. 1t has been
found impossible to induce either
one of these men to make the sac
rifice They are hoping without
hope that some turn in the tide
will carry them into popular favor
and be able to defeat Miles Poindex-
ter.
The following telegram was re-
ceived this morning by the Daily
World from Judge Burke and out
lines his decision to stay in the race
until September 13:
Seattle, Aug. 20.-On returning
home today from the northwestern
counties | find that the old baseless
rumor that l was to withdraw from
the senatorial contest had been res
directed. This rumor is now en-
bellished with the statement that
the big interests" were going to
pull me out of the race.
There is no more foundation for
this rumor in its new guise than
there was for it in its old form.
The big interests whoever they
are, have no more power or influ-
ence over my actions in this or any
ether matter than they have over
the course of the seasons.
Il am not the candidate of any
interests, big or little. | am a free
American citizen and whether in
public or private station, l shall con.
tinue to be free to do what my con.
science and judgment tell me is for
the public interests.
1t ought to be plain by this time
to the most prejudiced among the
candidates west of the mountains
that l have altogether the largest
popular support.
Under such circumstances | owe
ii to the republican yarty of the
state to continue in this primar!
contest to the end.
Il take this occasion therefore tC
say to the people of the state once
| for all that l am in this fight to
stay, that | am confident of success
at the polls and that all rumors OF
stories of my withdrawal should be
treated as device of the enemy"

About two hours later, Fred

Hauser suggested that Driscoll go

used a little persuasive tactics.
When they had proceeded as far as
in front of Seaman's Cafe on Palouse

please the officer a little bit and he
proceeded to give a correct immita-

Pete Wheeler put up a $40 bond

BEVERLY SILENT ON
FRICTION
Pesident and Secretary Nor
ton Refuse to Dis
cuSS Rumors.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 20.-No dis
position has been shown here as yet
to make even an informal or unof-
fetal reply to the stories that have
come recently from Oyster Bay tell
ing of a serious break between Pres
ident Taft and Col. Roosevelt. The
president and Mr.. Norton absolutely
refuse to discuss the matter either
officially or unofficially.
Roosevelt Mistaken.
There is a general belief in Bev-
erly. however, that Col. Roosevelt
attitude, if it has been correctly rep
resented, is based upon an entire
misrepresentation and misunderstood
ing of the facts. There is also a feel
ing here that better understanding
will be had soon.
This may be based upon the fact
that Lloyd Griscom, president of the
New York County Republican COM
mittee, is coming to Beverly next
week. 1t is also said here that Will
liam Loeb, jr., may be an early Wis
itOr at the summer capital.

The members of the party corrob-

Rusk, who recently led an unsuccess-
full expedition, that the peak climb

tographs as Mount Mckinley, is a
smaller peak, easy of access and ten
miles away from the real summit.
Prof. Herschel Parker, who is at the
head of the expedition that just re-
turned, took photographs of the low
er peak. He says these will prove
that DR.. Cooks claims that he climb

Prof. Parker places no credence in
the claims made by Tom Lloyd, of
Fairbanks, and his associates that
they climbed the mountain from the
Fairbanks side.
