ality for Plaisted of 1892, as against
plurality of 1904 for Governor Will
liam T. Cobb (republfcan) four years
ago. The total vote of the two lead
ing parties yesterday was 1856.
Four years ago it was 130,790.
Doubt still exists tonight regarding
the result in the fourth congressional
district, Congressman Frank E. Guern-
sey of Dover, republican candidate,
and Geo. M. Hanson of Calais, demo-
crat, each claiming victory by a small
plurality.
In the first district Asher G. Kinds

of about 700 over William H. Pen
nell (democrat), and will occupy the
seat in congress once held by Thomas
P. Reed.
The second and third districts will

lulu, and from there to Japan. 1t is
presumed by those anxious for his
return in order that business affairs
may be settled, that he is still in
Japan.
DR.. Coe left Portland shortly after
the republican assembly was held. To
this body he was a delegate, taking
leading part in it's agairs. His
relatives and certain business asso-
ciates are reported to have explained
his departure by saying that he was
on the verge of nervous break
down and felt that sea voyage and
rest from his business affairs was
imperatively necessary for his health.
The failure of the physician to COM
municate with those engaged with him
in the Stanfield projects or the off.
cials of the Inland Irrigation company
since he left this city has aroused
considerable cocmment.
The notice of the discontinuance
of work at Stanfield were posted
week or ten days ago, and were fol-
lowed by the fling of a mechanics
lien at Pendleton by Thomas Means,
a contractor, against the Columbia
Land company in the amount Of
$2,100. Another lien in a smaller
amount was filed by a sub-contr1ctor,

quorum they state no action on the
case itself was possible. 1t was re.
ported that Senator Nelson had au-
thority to act for Senator Flint, who
is member of the committee, but
who is in Europe.
This could not be confirmed, but in
any event no attempt was made to
use the alleged proxy.
Adjournment was taken subject to
the call Of the chairman, Senator
Nelson.
AS the minority" declined to at
tend today's conference and took their
adjournment at Minneapolis until the
next meeting of congress, it is prob.
able that Senator Nelson will not call
another meeting until the return Of
Senator Flint, who as the seventh
would make quorum.

Fire Conditions Improved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The fire
conditions in the nation al forests have
improved.
A telegram received today by Asso.
ciate Forester Potter from Associate
Forester Silcox at Missoula. Mont,
under whose jurisdiction the forest
fires have been, reported the fires In
the territory we're now under control,
except those in the Clearwater and
Occur d'Alene reserves in Idaho. He
said the federal troops from Forts
Harrison and Missoula in Montana
were CO. operating with the forces in
fighting the flames.
Mr.. Silcox estim ated that about 200,
600 acres have been burned over. For.
est officials here are unable to ap.
proximate the monetary loss with any
degree of accuracy, because they are
without definite inform alton as to the
extent of dev astation from the burned
over area. 1t is thought, however,
that the loss will be very large.

charges of violating the ordinances
against "picketing," enacted recently
by the two cities. In Los Angeles are
more than 5000 brewery workers and
iron workers, who walked out some
weeks ago. They have purposely
caused their own arrests in order to
test the "picketing" law. which is de-.
clared by attorneys for the laboring
men to be unconstitutional.
The men have all demanded Jury
trials. E. P. Kramer, the first to be
tried, was convicted and sentenced to
pay q fine of $50 or serve so days in
jail. His case will be appealed to the

Back Haul Tariffs Suspended.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-What are
known as the back haul tariffs from
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma in the
state of W ashington have been sus.
pended by the Interstate Commerce
commission pending an inquiry into
their reasonableness. The tariffs
were to have become effective August
l on the Northern Pacific, but the
action of the commission restr aimed
the line from putting them into effect.
The proposed adv ances in the back
haul rate were made by the Northern
Pacific in the face of q decision of the
commission that the rates ought to be
reduced 20 per cent.
In the hearing OF the back haul case
last autumn by the full commission 1t
was agreed by the railroads that the
reduction of II % per cent probably
would be fair. In spite of this state.
ment, however, the advance of Is per
cent was made. II was this advance
that the commission suspended.
The hearing In the matter will take
place in Chicago August 20 before
George N. Brown, chief examiner for
the commission.

Soldiers As Fire Fighters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. - Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army, today asked the interior
department and the forest service to
agree on a joint plan for the use of
United States troops for fighting the
forest fires in the west.
While the war department has been
rushing soldiers to the aid of fire fight
ers as quickly as requested, General
Wood told officials of both services
that the efficiency of the troops would
be greatly increased IL q plan could
be decided on which would prevent
duplication of requests and clashes of
authority. Such plan pro badly will
be presented to him today.
The war department has troops all
around the fires in western Montana
and northern Idaho, either at mobili.
zation camps or at home posts. By q
joint plan of action troops nearest the
individual fires will be sent to fight
them. General Wood says the indian
and forestry services will be given all
the troops they may need during the
emergency.
Two companies of infantry from
Fort Wright, Wash, have been order
ed to Wallace, Idaho, and one to Kal.
ispell, Mont, to aid in fighting forest
fires. The two companies now en- route
to Glacier Peak will be divided and
one will be dispatched to Kalispell,
giving that section two companies.

of the western governors prior to the

II think such q conference would be

and mail invitations. There seems to
be some apprehension that it Is the
purpose of some of the managers of

to predominant by sheer force of
numbers.
II was assured, however. when In
St. Paul recently, by the St. Paul
Business Mems association, that the
west would be given every opportunity
to present its views on the general
question of conser alton. Ihave not
the slightest doubt that this will be
done, but at this time I feel that It
would be . good plan for western
governors to meet and reach come
definite conclusion with regard to the
attitude to which they can all sub
subscribe.
