STRONG |S OUT
 FOR GOVERNOR
FORMER NOME NEWSPAPER MAN ON TICKET OF IOlTARoO
 PAPER.

That Major J. F. A. Strong. the founder of the Nome Nugget. has now come out openly as a candidate for the governorship of Alaska Is made evident by the fact that a copy of the Iditarod Pioneer just to hand shows the majors name at the head of the editorial column as its choice for the position.
 The Pioneer says that its candidate for president is Wilson. its candidate for vice president is Marshall and its candidate for gvernor of Alaska IS the former Eomeite.
 As Major Strong was in lditarod at the time the issue of the paper men tioned came out the use of his name in this connection probably had his sanction. The latest news from ldit- arod was to the effect that the major was expected to reach Nome on the Victoria
 The Pioneer is the only paper now being published fin Iditarod. Its op- ponent last year was the lditarod Nugget of which the present candidate for the governorship was proprietor.

WILL PROSECUTE
 OIL PROSpEC1ORS
Special Nugget Service.

PORTLAND. Sept. 2.-Goverrn,en' officials here announce that suits in volying one billion dollars will be in- stituted immediately against several men now engaged in the oil well in- dustry in Southern California.
 The complaint of the government is that many of those working the oil lands have secured their ground by fraudulent methods and are evading as far as possible the laws govern ing the matter.
 It is considered likely that oil lands in various states will be withdrawn from entry by the government pend ing an investigation into the means employed by prospectors for securing them.
 The number of suits to be brought in Southern California is 300.

WORST WIND AND DUST STORM FOR YEARS
SWEEPS COUNTRY AND DAMAGES PROPERTY

Pendleton experienced the worst
wind storm of the year yesterday af-
ternoon and the fact that it brought
with at a great burden of dust made
it extremely disagreeable as we'll as
harmful. Branches were broken
from trees by the score and in some
places whole trees fell before the on
slaught, wires We're blown down in
almost every section of the city, small
buildings toppled over and much mi
nor damage done. 1t is estimated that
the wind had velocity of about 80
miles an hour.
The greatest damage done by the
wind was to the Pacific Power &
Light and the Pacific states Tele-
phone and Telegraph companies, their
wires going down in every direction
Especially in the east end of the city
was the wire damage heavy. AS a
result of this precipitation of wires,
many telephones were put out of or
der and almost the whole city de-
prived of power and light The cut
ting off of the current stopped the
machinery at the East Oregonian un-
til the auxiliary seam plant could be
started. which delay caused the news
reports to be curtaled and made the
! delivery of the papers late.

SNAKE IN PULPIT TENDER
FOOT PREACHER KILLS IT

Greeley, Colo.-The Rev. John Bent
ley, an invalid tenderfoot graduate of
an Eastern theological college, may
have a congregation any time his
health permits him to preach here,
because of his nerve.
Addressing a rather cold handful
of people in the little adobe school
house, ten miles from her, he paused
suddenly at sight of rattlesnake that
had joined his congregation and nest
led at his feet. He stopped quickly
grabbed the reptile back of the
neck, carried it out of the schoolhouse
and stamped it to death
Returning he dropped the subject
of his sermon and symbolizing the
snake as sin, held his congregation
for half an hour At night the con
gregation was too large for the school.

Governor Hadley also made mo-
ton that the seventy-two Taft dele
gates. whose seats have been con-
tested, be not permitted to vote on
any question, on convention organiza-
tin. until the delegates had been pass
ed upon by the convention. The mo-
tion was tabled by a vote of 569 to
4g9.
When the committee presented its
report favoring seating the Arizona
delegation, 1t was followed by a mi
nority report favoring the Roosevelt
men, the former being adopted by
the convention by a vote of 565 to
495, as did also the majority report
favoring the Taft delegates from Ar
kansas. Governor Hadley's motions
to adopt the minority report was ta-
bled on motion of Watson. The Ar
kansas Taft delegation was seated by
a viva voce vote.
The committee also favored seating
the Taft delegates from the fourth
California district. The six Taft del
egates at large from Michigan were
also recommended seated by the COM
mittee, by vote of 26 to 10.

PLANK DENOUNCES
RECALL OF JUDGES

Chicago, June 21-The subcom-
mittee today wrote into the temporary
platform a plang, denouncing the re-
call of judges and judicial desicions
1t is expected that froction of the
progressives, who do not subscribe
to the Roosevelt bolt and who in
tend to remain regular" will oppose
the plank in the full committee and
even on the floor of the convention
but in view of the majority held by
the conservatives and their appar-
ent desire to put an unequivoca
stamp of that sort on the regular
program, 1t Is expected the plank will
stand. Whatever it's fate, the La
Toilette men will prevent platform
as a minority report.
No difficulty over the tariff de-
claration, developed today and 1t is
an entirely now plank that is being
drafted.

When the convention met for
brief session at IL o'clock, Chairman
Root sent a demand to Chairman De-
vine OF the credentials committee to
present a report of the contests dis
posed OF and also on the convention
roll, in order that the convention
might pass on them. This action was
taken following refusal of Divine
to make a report, which the creden-
tials committee finally agreed to do
A long wait was occasloned by the
failure of the committee to comply
with the promise to report, however
when It was finally announced that
the majority reports in the cases OF
Alabama and Arizona, were ready.
The Roosevelt people, however, were
not ready with their minority report.
Bryan Cheered by Republicans.
Various state delegations passed
the time cheering. The Pennsylvania
delegation and eighteen Massachu-
setts men, Kansas and California be-
ing especially noticeable for cheering
for Roosevelt. Wisconsin men yelled
for Senator La Toilette.
w. ]. Bryan then came in and was
loudly cheered to shouts for a speech
but shook his head.
Following Chairman Roots calling
the convention to order and invoca-
ton the report of the credentials
committee was brought in, 1t recon-
mends that the Taft delegates from
the Ninth Alabama district be seat
ed. The majority members said the
Taft delegates election was regular
while that of the Roosevelt men was
not.
The minority report was submitted
by Delegate Mccormick of Illinois,
who said he had no time to prepare
a proper report, so the Roosevelt mi
nority merely presented dissenting
opinion.
The Roosevelt men objected to rep
resentation on the committee of men,
bers firm those states where contests
were filed and also to participation
in the credentials committee deliber-
ations by members or the national
committee, who had originally pass
ed on the temporary roll.
Governor Hadley Of Missuri, moved
the substitution of the minority re-
port for that of the majority. He ask
ed that Mccormick be given unani-
nous consent to read brief dealing
with the question. This was opposed
but Chairman Root ruled the Nc
