Wind Damage Not Great.

Not only one big glass in William
sons new store building, but one also
in an entrance window in the old build
ing was destroyed yesterday by the
high wind. At the university the wind
blew out one of the window-ends, tenn
porarily arranged for the central sec
ton of the administration building, un
til the wings are completed, that de-
stroyed being in the south end on the
Third floor Three transoms in the
Railways were also blown out in the
Ad building. In the tool house, near
Morrill, hall, several small windows
were broken.
All over town large branches and
small trees fell before the wind, and
as result there were many crossed
wires which interfered with electrical
service during the afternoon and eve
ming. The light company answered
over 20 of such calls.

The average price was about $105, fol
COWS of grade stock, ranging from
$65 to $3.50. The top price was paid
for heifer, pure-bred by John Wes-
sick of Nez Perce. The animal
brought $685.. Gray of Post Falls, paid
$3.50 for a three-months-o pure-bred
bull calf. Other heavy buyers came
from Nez Perce and Lapwai, although
Moscow purchased some fine stock.
The Jersey stock sale followed the
luncheon served by the Chamber of
Commerce at noon. This stock was
most popular and caused the most
spirited bidding. The record price was
bred and subject to registry at S24O.
The big sale closed at o'clock with
bunch of grade yearling heifers,
that brought in the neighborhood of
$40. This was the cheapest stock Of the
sale, because the heifers of all the
breeds had all been bred to pure bred
bulls of their respective classes.
The results of the sale are salts

sufficient to reimburse the college,

while for the live stock industry of

Tariff Is an Issue.

CHICAGO, June 20.-The tariff will
be downward If the republican party
Is returned to power, no matter
whether Taft or Roosevelt controls
the convention.
This was made certain when it was
found that the leaders of each faction
have determined that they must admit
to the people that the tariff issue is
dominant. Both OF the factions VIII
declare for scientific downward re-
vision of the tariff. Each will make
the point that while American labor
must be protected the fact that trust
made goods are sold abroad profitably
at less than. half whatais charged in
the United States shows that the pres
ent rates are too high. But in one re-
spect the platform will differ.
The Taft platform will insist that the
present tariff board is meeting the sit
uation squarely and that its recon-
mendations are the ones to be fol-
lowed. The Roosevelt platform will
insist that the present board be
strengthened.
There will be no mention of reci-
procity according to present plans
Both platforms will declare for a
strong navy and both will take ad-
vanced ground on conservation of ma
tional resources. The initiative and
referendum will be ignored by the
Taft trainers. The Taft platform will
denounce the recall as vicious and
abhorrent"

VARSITY STOCK SALE
IS POPULAR WINNER

brisk and prices are good. The bulk
of the shipment of 119 cattle offered
consists of Guernseys, because Dean
Carlyle, had found big bargain in
that stock, owing to the fact that the
farmers had little feed for the animals.
The dean, by the way, visited the
farmers in a row-boat, when he went
to make the deal.
The stock was brought out by the
use of $500 advanced by Regents
Sweet and Moffat of the university,
who will be reimbursed from the re-
ceipts of the sale, if they meet that
sum. If they do not, the regents lose.
If the receipts more than cover the
notes for that amount given by these

versity gets the profits to be used In

Vice Presidential Crop Big.

| CHICAGO COLISEUM, June 21.-
There are only three bonafide vice
presidential booms now in Chicago
based on the assumption that Presi-
dent Taft is nominated by the repub-
lican national convention now in ses-
sion.
They are those of James Sherman,
Ctica, N. Y, the incumbent, who is
backed by the New York delegation,
headed by William Barnes, Jr; John
| Wanamaker, the Philadelphia merch-
| ant, who rushed from Europe to get
here in second the nomination of Taft;
and Governor Mead of Vermont, who
declares that he is willing to run on
any ticket, no matter who is selected
as its head and he insists that he is
progressive enough for progressives
and also that he is old enough in politi-
cal games to command the support of
eastern conservatives.
The Taft men would also like to
start boom for Senator Cummins of
Iowa, Senator Borah of Idaho and
Governor Hadley of Missouri But up
to the present time these men insist
that there can and will be nothing do
ing. The Cummings men say 1t is the
tor of the ladder for him or nothing.
Hadley will not discuss the vice presi-
dency, and Borah has on several oc-
casions declared that under no cir
cumstances would he accept the nomi-
nation for the vice presidency.
In the field of available vice-presi-
Dental candidates with Roosevelt, Gov.
Johnson leads today because Of his
fight for the Colonel, his western loca-
tion and his strong progressive follow
ing.
Gov. McGovern has strong backing
for place with Roosevelt but Il is
said that he could not receive the
solid support of Wisconsin Other vice
presidential candidates receiving men
ton with Roosevelt are Gov. Glass
cock of West Virginia. former Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana, Judge Ben
B. Lindsey of Colorado Gov. Chas. Os
borne of Michigan, Senator Miles
Poindexter of Washington, Governor
Deneen of Illinois and Governor Alb
rich of Nebraska.

that the police ordered half of them

Of rules committee are lined up for
the amendment.
Another radical change in the rules
suggested by the minority is the dec
laration for "states rights" in naming
the national committeeman, a plan to
give each state the authority to elect
its committeeman in any way it may
choose to elect.
The most drastic change in the
rules as agreed to by both the ma
jority and minority is that of giving
the national committee the power to
remove from that body any commit
teemen who refuse to support the
nominee of the convention.

New Party Talk Grows But Boosters
Can't Find Runner-Up for T. r.
Offer Bryan JOb

CHICAGO, June 21.-Colonel Roose
welt and his managers are today
working out plans for a big non
partisan progressive mass melting
which can be held in early August
to perfect a national progressive
organization.
| Woodrow Wilson is talked of as a
running mate for Roosevelt Bryan
is also prominently mentioned.
1t is pointed out by George L. Re-
cord of New Jersey, who is strong
for this program, that Roosevelt and
| Wilson who are really radicals in an
equal degree, belong to the same
party and that Taft and Harmon are
in fact representatives of the same
interests.
The time for a new alignment. he
said, has come.
A mass convention will be the ext
big step after the bolt from the old
time republican organization has
been worked out.
1T Is time to shake Penrose, Crane
and Root" said Record.
They should herd themselves in
a party which stands openly for spe-
cial privileges and the perversion of
courts.

and for social justice, have nothing
in common with them.

Gratis like Ben Lindsey, Bryan and
others OF their kind We have faith
that this country Is ready to respond

The Roosevelt men are encouraged
by the choice of Alton B. Parker as
temporary chairman at Baltimore
They hope the democratic convention
will choose some reactionary csndi-
date like Harmon or Underwood. This
would mean two conservative candi-
dates with Roosevelt as the only pro-
gressiye. they say.
Colonel Roosevelt put in the entire
