THIRD TERM FOR
ROOSEVELT
Well Directed Effort Being
Made in East to Force
Teddy to Run.

New York, July 1S.-Theodore
Roosevelt and President Taft will
speak from the same platform at
Knoxville, Tenn, in October.
Roosevelt, Friday, accepted the in
vitation Of the managers of the APP
palachian exposition to deliver an
address on October 1. A week later
President Taft will make an address
at the exposition.
A third term boom for Roosevelt
was started today by former Ambas-
sador Thompson, who represented
the United States in Mexico. He
called on the colonel and after his
conference he said to the newspaper
men, that throughout the west there
was an undeniable sentiment in favor
of another term.
81 employ 400 executive officers
throughout the west" Thompson
said. II asked them to ascertain
the feeling toward Roosevelt. They
unanimously reported that everyone
favored a third term for Roosevelt.
During my travels l have not found
single republican who is not con-
WINGED that Roosevelt must be nam
ed for the presidency If the demo-
Gratis are to be beaten in 1912"

COUNTY IN BATTLE
FOR FUNDS
Baby District Demands Sum
From Old Douglas and
Row is Continued.

Ephrata, Wash, July 1S.-The
controversy between Douglas and
Grant counties, which dates back to
March, 1909, when Grant was sew
cred from the original Douglas coun-
ty, involving large sum of money
claimed by both counties and over
which two suits are now pending, re-
mains unsettled after the last at
tempt of the commissioners to ar
range an agreement.
Following the recent meeting of
the officials in Wenatchee the report
obtained circulation that the funds
of the new county of Grant were low.
That such is the case is denied by
Treasurer c. T. Sanders Of Grant
county.
Mr.. Sanders has said that the f.
nancial standing of the county is ex-
cellent and that the warrants issued
are in demand by trust companies.
The 1909 taxes were 100000,
the total assessment valuation being
$1O,0O0.O00. Mr.. Sanders further
stated that the current expense war;
rants are being promptly redeemed
The warrant Indebtedness of the
county is $4,000 or about one-third
of l per cent of the assessed valua-
ton. If necessary Grant county
could be bonded for as high as $780,
900.
One-third of the school districts
are paying their warrants in cash
and have surplus funds, some as high
as $1,000, while the county superin-
tendent says the school buildings of
Grant compare favorably with those
of any other county
The point at issue involves about
$4,000, claimed by Grant from
Douglas as her proportional part of
the property of the original county.
AS Grant county sees it the divi-
sion of funds should include a part
of the value of everything belonging
to Douglas, for which the new coun-
ty helped to pay, the courthouse and
the books of records. AS for the cost
of transcribing the records Grant
county has never contended that it
should not bear that expense unaid-
ed.
Since October this county has re-
ceived $2,475 from the old county
belonging to school and road district
funds. Several attempts have been
made by the officers to make an ad-
justment, but all have failed.
Treasurer Sanders states in his an
nual report to the county commits
sioners that the total collections
from all sources for the year ended
July 1, 1910, were $277,93S, leaving
a balance in the treasury of $75,S57.

GREEKS RAMP ANT;
POLICE CALLED
G. N. Construction Boss Dis
charges Men But They
Refuse to Leave.

Trouble has been brewing for sew
eral days among the construction
gang in the. local railroad yards.
The timekeeper and the boss of a
colony of Greeks have quarreled
resulting in scamp work by the for
eigners. A World representative
has noticed the men loafIng and
joshing most of the week during
working hours. The climax occurred
Saturday when word came from
headquarters to discharge the boss
of the Greeks but to retain as many
of his men as would stay. When
thus notified, the men insisted they
would stand by their boss and de-
manded their checks. The company
refused to say how soon wages would
be forthcoming and ordered the
workmen to vacate the cars in which
they have been living. Upon their
refusal, the police were called.
Chief Inscho and Officer Nelson ad-
vised the boss of the Greeks to move
on. He agreed that the tribe would
move out the following morning by
10 o'clock. Sunday they failed to do
as agreed and the construction boss
again called for police assistance.
Amidst much waving of arms, shak-
ing of fists and jabbering jargon.
the Greek boss was elected and his
men followed. A new gang at once
took their places.
The peculiar phase of the case is
that the railroad boss is unable to
say when the discharged men will
receive their wages. They owe a
local butcher $50 and a groceryman
$50. They would like to pay their
bills and leave town at once, but
cannot do so until checks come.

Agent Piper was waited upon this
morning by Attorney Thomson.
representing the Greeks and their
boss. This conference developed the
fact that the foreigners went on
strike last Saturday noon. Their
bass told them that the timekeeper
was not giving them credit for over
time and they summarily quit. They
were not discharged, and for that
reason the company was not obliged
to give them shelter. Their time
was sent into headquarters at once
and checks will arrive some time to-
day. The trouble was due solely to
personal differences between the
timekeeper and the assistant boss
over the Greeks.

For the early corners, the conditions at the present time are ideal The big lake closed in late this winter. in fact nothing but the smaller coves In Lake Winnipisseogee were frozen over pre- vious to Christmas day.
 The fishing grounds are not con- fined to any one section of the big lake. For convenience in the way of railroad and hotel accommodations, perhaps this city.

Season Opened on January 1st
 and Continues to June.
Law of on Trout and Salmon In New Hampshire and Lake Winnl- psseogee Welcomes Many
 Visitors.

Laconia, N. H.-The season for Ice fishing on Lake Winnipisseogee and the smaller lakes and ponds in this vicinity, is now on. The open season on both trout and salmon began on January and will continue until next June To many fishermen the greater amount of sport in the taking of these fish comes with the opening of the ice fishing season.
 During the past ten years there has been a large increase in the number Of fishermen that come to the Winni- pisseogee region for this kind or sport. From the time the big lake first freezes over until the trolling season opens in the spring. the ice fisherman is decidedly in evidence. He Is decidedly welcome. for during two or three months he scatters many dollars in paying for guides. hotel quarters, camps and the like.
 While the greater portion of the ice fishermen come singly, large parties are sometimes organized and the more commodious camps are engaged for two or three weeks at time. It Is then that there Is plenty of activity at the fishing grounds, wherever they may locate, In past years some enor' nous catches have been taken to the cities at the end of one of these mid winter visits In a measure, however, the last session of the legislature put a stop to the wholesale slaughter, oy passing a law that specified the num- Der and weight of fish that can be taken in any one day The law also provides that no trout or salmon taken through the ice shall be onered for sale. This is pretty we'll lived up to by the native fishermen. but there have been instances where an ampl- ious fisherman who has had poor iucK has been forced to enter into some ,niet negotiations and as a result mas
