Superstitious Miners.

Coal strikes have sometimes been
threatened in England ON curious
grounds. In 1874 woman was em-
ployed as messenger at one OF the
collieries near Oswestry. AS she COM
menced her days work very early. she
often met the miners on their way to
the pit. and as the men considered it a
bad omen to meet woman first thing
in the morning. trouble >arose. by
threats and persuasion they tried to
get the offending female to give up her
job. but. failing in this. they went in a
body to the manager and fatty refused

MANY ARE BLIND IN ONE EYE
Person May Suffer This Physical De-

out knowing Il.

An English author, Mrs. Francis
Vivian Campbell, has brought q
lamage suit embodying some novel
features against Newcastle steam
ship line. She complains, among 9TH
er things, that while on voyage in
the Mediterranean she contracted
ptomaine poisoning from the bad
food on the Carib Prince, and that,
as result, she had lost the sight of
her left eye. Medical testimony was
to the effect that the loss of sight
was due to blood poisoning and that
it was not usual for ptomaine poi
soning to affect only one eye. 1t
would appear that Mrs. Campbell
was not Immediately aware Of this
loss of sight. One of the physicians
who gave testimony in the case said
this was not remarkable, that scores
Of people have been blind in one eye
since birth and yet had not realized
it. He gave as an explanation that
with perfect eyesight one has what
is known as field of vision. A per-
son with one defective eye sees all
right but on one side a piece of the
view is missing. This one may new
or notice because he has never seen
differently. He said that while the
majority of people may find out for
themselves that they have defec-I
tive eye, or one from which sight has
gore, there is large minority that

WANT ROOSEVELT
ELECTORS OFF TICKET
STATE REPUBLICAN LEADERS ASK THAT
TAFT men Be PLACED ON STATE
TICKET.

One OF the most interesting po-
litical matters in the state lust now
is what the Taft men will do about
the electors nominated at the regu-
lar republican convention in July.
A meeting was held in Huron by
Taft adherents on Aug. 24th and a
committee of ten was appointed to
devise means to GUST the regular
nominees of the July convention
Their first move is to address an
open letter to c. G.. Sherwood,
chairman Of the state republican
committee which in part is as fol-
lows:
At meeting of republicans in
the city of Huron, we were ap-
pointed a committee with authori-
ty to take such steps as our judg-
ment dictated, to procure the re-
mOval of the electors nominated at
the Huron convention on July 2,
1912.
These electors have publicly
declared that they will not vote for
the election of Mr.. Taft for presi-
dent. If elected, they intend to
use the power, delegated to them
by republicans. to elect, as presi-
dent, man who is openly and
avowedly seeking to destroy the
republican party. The explana-
tion and defense Of their presence
on the republican ticket is, that a
majority oft the delegates who
nominated them were Of the opin9
ion that the nomination OF the re-
publican candidates at Chicago was
not fairly made, and consequently,
tie party in this state is not bound
to support those nominees.
There are thousands of repub-
licans in this state who desire an
opportunity of voting the republi-
can ticket on national, as we'll as
state issues. This right has been
denied them by the action OF the
Huron convention. These repub-
licans feel that they have been be-
trayed, that principle has been
sacrificed for pelf. You and the
candidates on the state and con-
gressional ticket are in a position
to secure the withdrawal of these
electors and the substitution of
others who will support the nomi-
nees OF the republican party. 1t is
in your power to serve the repub-
lican party and promote harmony
in its ranks. AS republicans, in
terested in the success of the party,
we ask you to bring this about"
1t is doubtful, however, if the
Roosevelt men will resign. One
Of them, H. c. Peston OF Mitchell,
states his position thus:
IF the presidential electors
should choose to resign, by what
would the state central
committee be warranted in over
riding the expressed will of the re-
publican voters of the state by a
majority of over two to one in re
using to sanction the Taft nomi-
lation. By their silence in refus-
ng to pledge him support, they
let their seal Of disapproval upon
he methods adopted at Chicago.
No subsequent action of anyone
makes Mr.. Taft's nomination less
,dious, and if the president was
he recipient of tainted nomina-
ion, and the republicans of the
tate failed to pledge him their
upport at Huron, his nomination
low is no less tainted"

NEW PLANER ADDS
TO PLANT
DALLAS LUMBER COMPANY IN
STALLS NEW MACHINE.
Former Equipment Unable to Handle
Daily Output of Saw Mill; Plant
Shuts Down One Day for Fair.

With the installation of the new
modern planer at the plant of the
Dallas Lumber and Logging com
pany, which has. just been accom-
plished, that concern is better than
ever equipped to handle the large
volume of business constantly com
ing in the shape of orders and the
equipment add still further to the
completeness of the plant and in
maintaining it's position at the head
of the mills in this section. The new
planer has a capacity of something
like 200 feet of lumber per minute
and is the best machine of its kind
that money can buy. The use of this
machine will enable the plant to
eliminate the night work which has
been the program in the past. Be
fore the installation of the planer it
was necessary to run .the old equip
ment at night in order to keep up
with the saw mill, but the new ma
chine will be able to take care of the
daily output of the mill and then

The modern new dry kiln recently

The plant was closed down last
Saturday to give all employees who
so desired, an opportunity to visit
the state fair at Salem. Those who
did not care to visit the fair were
given a job of loading gravel on cars
for use in ballasting operations on
the company's track west of Black
Rock.

Poles Distributed to McNIinnville:
Others Ready For Trolley Wires;
Mccoy to Get Substation.

That the Southern Pacific COM
pany is making rapid progress on
the electrification of their West side
lines is evidenced by a trip to Port
land and a careful scrutiny of the
activities displayed along the way.
For several miles out of Oswego the
poles which will carry the trolley
wires have already been placed and
the poles have been distributed prac-
tically as far as McMinnville. Work
of connecting the rails with wires
has been completed for a considera-
BILE distance and the stringing of the
overhead trolleys will begin in a
short time.
1t is stated that a substation will be
erected at Mccoy in this county, and
that plans for the building have al
ready been accepted. Work will start
on all the substations in a short time,
The building of the Willamette
river bridge is also progressing rap
idly. Two of the piers are practi
cally finished and work on the 9TH

been stated, the work of electrifying

FLOOD MENACES LIFE

Through the carelessness of hunters
who opened the flood gates of the old
LaCreole dam near Johnson's mill
Wednesday, wagon containing a
load of hops, horses and driver, were
participated in the creek. Campers
located near the creek were badly
frightened and most of them forced
to vacate; otherwise no serious dam
age was done. John Martin, whose
team and wagon was near the creek
at the time of the flood was washed
down stream several feet and it was
only through the efforts of others
who heard him call that the team
was saved. The hops and wagon
were landed several feet below.

Bonds for the 1912 sewer improve

Discussion of the matter of using
certain streets of the city for the car
nival shows during the coming Polk
County Fair, occupied considerable
time during the meeting. The propo-
sition of placing the shows in bunch
on some of the city streets, was dis
cussed but this was thought inadvis-
able. 1t was recalled that this ar
rangement proved unpopular last
year and some different plan was
urged. Finally, on motion of Coun-
Gilman Stats, the proposition was
turned over to w. ". Fuller, chair
man of the sports committee for
the Fair. A motion was however

obeyed 1t will have the effect of plac-

side streets far removed from the
business section. This probability is
already causing a good sized object
ion from business men.
1t was also voted to give the Com
mercial club, or the general fair COM
mittee, authority to collect all license
fees for shows and other concessions
during the fair, and turn the funds
into the clubs general treasury.
To Rewire City Hall.
Removal of the city hall to its
present location necessitated the cut
ting of electric light wires and a re-
arrangement of the wires in the
building is now required. The mat
ter of letting the contract for this
work was discussed and, on motion
was left with the building committee.
Fire Chief August Riser asked the
council for the use of a small room
in the front of the city hall building
as an office for the chief, and a place
where he could store his books and
other paraphernalia connected with
the fire department. The request was
granted
