Peoria, Ill, Sept. ga monstrous
ghost of gloom, perched sombrely on
the clammy cold corpse of reciproc-
ity-the one strong card of the pres
ent administration-was the unwel-
come guest that accompanied Presi-
dent Taft on his special train which
arrived in this city today.
a large crowd of citizens were on
hand to give the president an enthu-
siastic welcome to the city. but their
efforts were lost on the chief execu-
tive, as he was unmistakably cast
down and laboring under gloom,
owing to the outcome of the elections
in Canada yesterday, which perman-
emily shelved his only material for
q foundation for a second term, and
destroyed the one morsel of fruit
which was the result of the long spe-
cial session of congress, following his
own energetic branding of the veto
on all other progressive measures,
which he is now trying to explain to
the voters.
on reaching here, the famous Taft
smile was the most conspicuous part
about the chief executive made sc
| by its absence. The president said:
L am deeply disappointed. I had
expected a different result"
The presidents defense against the
Canadian setback to his chances for
another term, it is thought, Will be
that reciprocity carried in this coun-
try. He viii not talk on the matter
until later.
1t is generally believed that the de-
feat of the proposed treaty viii prove
the greatest setback of Mr.. Taft's Of
ficial career.
Regarding the political effect OF
Canadas election in the United States
Charles HilleS, the presidents private
secretary, today said:
we must wait. Nothing can be
determined along that line yet"
on his arrival here, President Taft
took breakfast at the Creve Occur
club and later took an automobile
trip about the city He later attend
ed a reception given by the Knights
of Columbus.

body with all the cars they want"
says 7. f. O'Brien, Pendleton agent
for the O.-W. R. & N. Another fea-
ture that is working a hardship on
the railroad, Gays Mr.. O'Brien, is that
much of the wheat as being delivered
directly to the railroad from the
wheat fields. 1t is not being stored
as much as usual. For use during
the shipping period a special platform
has been constructed on the Walters
spur just below the city and much
wheat has been loaded direct on to
cars from the same.
When asked why the railroad does
not provide more cars for the hand
ling of It's traffic, the officials explain
that the wheat shipping period last;
but two months in the year and they
point out it would not pay to have
special cars for handling of wheat
and have them idle during 10 month.

QUICK WHEAT SHIPMENTS CAUSE SHORTAGE
OF CARS. SHIPS WAITING FOR GRAIN

owing to the rapidity with which
wheat has been passing from the
hands of the growers to the hands of
the brokers recently the railroads are
having much difficulty providing cars
for the transfer of the crop to tide
water.
On the O.-W r. & N. the officials
are now sweating blood" in the eff
forts to supply the demand for cars.
Today a call is in for 20 empties at
Cayuse, many cars are wanted at
Adams and at practically all other
wheat shipping points in the county.
1t is reported that two wheat carry
ing ships are now waiting at the
wfarves in Portland until they can
be laden with wheat from the inland
empire and this fact is partly respon-
sible for the present rush for cars.

slowly as 1t generally is and 1t is
simply impossible to provide every
