A Lucky Escape

Last Friday evening DR.. P. d. Pea
body had call in the country and took
Frank Dickinson and j. j. Adams along
in the big Cole car for company. On
the return trip the doctor turned out of
the main travelled track on one of the
grades to avoid lot of ruts, thinking
he was turning upon some grass. 1t
was grass all right, the tops of it that
had grown from away down below.
There was nothing to do but to keep
the car going and get on solid ground.
No damage was done; just little delay
and some heavy lifting.

ADDRESS TO CANADIANS
Sir Wilfrid Laurier Tells Advantages of
Reciprocity Agreement.

Ottawa.-The opening gun in the
campaign which will determine the fate
of the reciprocity agreement between
the United States and Canada, was fred
Sunday by the liberal leader, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. 1t was in the form of an
open address to the Canadian people,
and in it the issues involved in the
present campaign are set forth clearly
The question at issue is not new one,
Sir Wilfrid asserts, reciprocal relations
with the United States having been
sought by both parties for over half a
century. The present conservative par
ty, he declared, is seeking to reverse
this lifelong policy of its leaders of
the past. The enactment of the agree
ment, the premier predicts, would fur
Their improve the friendly relations be-
tween Great Britain, Canada and the
United States, and be an important
factor in bringing about a general
treaty of arbitration.

with fury for nearly two hours before

to the neighboring structures and roll

The fire was so hot, however, that it
could not be confined to the mill alone
and it spread in rapid succession to the
Oregon Washington Railroad & Naviga-

to the Great Southern depot and sheds

Chicago offers exceptional opportu.

to meet people who do not seem to real.
lie that irrigation today is an estab-
lished mode of agriculture and that it
is being practiced successfully and
profitably in many states west of the
Missouri river. To put it mildly it is
up to the communities of the western
country to send large delegations to

there will be season of grand opera
before, during and after the sessions.
The world s foremost artists will be in
the casts.

A. Wheeler, president of the Chicago
Association of Commerce, which is con-
coded to be the largest and most i'm
portant organization of its kind in the
world, and L am more than gratified
with the interest its officers and mem
bcrs are taking in the coming congress.
1.-the program at the several sessions
will include the names of some of the
foremost speakers in various parts of
the world and they will discuss in
practical way the best means of re-
claiming lands. The National Irriga-
ton congress is interested in the prob
lens presented all over the American
continent. 1t is interested in drain
age, saving the forests, storing the
floods, retaining the deserts and max
ing homes on the land, and, as an or
ganization composed of men of fore
sight and unselfish purpose, it will con-
tinue to exert its influence for the
greatest good to the largest number. F."

Given On Qualifications For
Primaries
columbus Dispatch)

A ruling on the qualifications Of
electors who will take part in the
September primary was given by Sec
retary Of State Graves, as chief cleo
tion officer of the state, Tuesday. 1t
was requested by C. A. Mcdonald,
a prominent resident of Cleveland, and
a copy of the ruling was sent to the
Cuyhoga county election board.
Regarding the party affiliation re-
quired to permit man to participate
in the primary, Secretary Graves said
that it is impossible to make an in
flexible rule To apply to each and
every case.
AS general rule person should
only to be held to be affiliated with a
party when his vote showed that he
thereby indorsed and advocated the
principles of the party with which he
claims affiliation.
His Tote must show that he believes
in the principles of the party and
LuOoc pl tiioJ bC ChoStOuy hS
desires that party to succeed at the
polls. This would be shown by the
vote Of the individual for majority
of the State ticket of party, for the
candidate of said ticket of party,
| for the candidate of said party for con-
gress and for the state senator and
representatives.
Anything less than this would be
insufficient to indicate that a man
affiliated with a party. In determin'
ing the affiliation, the vote of the In
dividual for the county ticket might
possibly de disregarded. The appli'
cant should be given an opportunity
to explain his vote but it must be
shown it was cast from principle and
conviction and was not influenced by
local issues, enmity for candidates
personal friendship or spite.
This is in the line with ruling giveI
by Attorney General Hogan.
