THE FOREIGN PRESS ON
THE ROOSEVELT SHOOTING
His DaunHess Courage and Goodness
After Being Shot

The London newspapers devoted
more space to the attempted assass-
ination Of Roosevelt than to the Balkan
war.
The Daily Mail, under the caption,
The Amazing Mr.. Roosevelt; His
Amazing Act After an Attack on
Him." prints the following article by
Frederick w. Healthy:
Mr.. Roosevelt not only becomes
the uncrowned king of America, but
the most remarkable man in the world.
He is the only politician whose word is
less than his deeds. He is the only
man of his kind who would have stood
before a frenzied audience and shown
them his blood stained shirt. That act
is unexampled for sheer audacity and
daring outside the realms of magma
tive drama.
That act which those who do not
understand may dismiss as sheer bra
vado will not only win him the Presi-
dency, but will win for him for all time
place among the real heroes Of his
land.
What a scene! What a mau!
Truly in this amazing leader America
has no equal in any country in the
world. He can do nothing more ex-
cept make a merry pact with death,
but if there is sentiment in America,
which we know there is, if there is any
sense of the dramatic, this attempted
assassination OF Mr.. Roosevelt and his
almost unbelievable act Of courage are
blessings in disguise, for out of them
surely must come one and only one
result-the return, the triumphal re-
turn, of Roosevelt to the White
House."

Washington-IdahO Highway

Definite plans were launched this
week by joint committees OF Lewiston,
Idaho and Charleston, Washington, to
promote free bridge over the Snake
river and to secure the building of the
Washington state highway through
Asotin county, connecting there with a
link that would carry the road to I'm
iontown when its construction could
be continued through eastern Wash
ington. AS an initial step, the Clark
ston committee was authorized to con-
fer with the Washington state highway
officials to secure definite data as to
the plans of the commission for the
eastern Washington district as the sub
ject relates to the stretch Of highway
being built from Walla Walla to Spo-
kane.
The Clarkston committee was ad-
vised by the Lewiston commercial
club committee that if the highway is
brought into Asotin county, Idaho and
this community will provide one-half
the cost Of the bridge over Snake
river, and provide the Clearwater
bridge as a link in the highway and
will improve the road from Lewiston
to Uniontown.

Under the local option law where it
requires thirty per cent Of the voters at
the last general election" to sign a
petition for a local option election,
the words last general election"
means the last election at which the
general public could participate,
whether it was state, county or mu-
nicipal election, according to recent
ruling made by the supreme court, in
which it was held that the petition for
the calling Of local option election
for the city Of Aberdeen was deficient
for the reason that it was signed by
80 per cent of those who took part in
the general election of 1910, but was
not signed by 80 per cent of those
voting at the last city election. The
supreme court did not pass upon the
question of whether school election
constituted a general election under

Scarcity Of Prime BullockS Is
Keeping Prices Up--Sheep Also Scarce

and as the fresh meat trade is drag
ging, prices for the medium and com.
mon kind of killers are not keeping
pace with those being paid for fin
ished cattle and feeders. Mich cows
are booming as result of the high
prices at which milk and butter is
selling. Veal calves are scarce and
the average price is higher than ever
before known at this season of the
year.
In the sheep department. as among
the cattle. the leading feature of the
trade is the feeder demand and the
middle west is facing famine. The
popularity of western lambs for feed
ing purposes and the bad quality or
the native stock, combine to produce
a situation. the equal OF which has
never been known in this country.
Western lambs continue to come fat
and ready for the butcher and the
packers are absorbing them as soon
as they arrive. without sorting or
price-cutting, thus leaving the feeder
without show to buy anything desir-
able. Fat lambs will be scarce dur
ing the later winter and early spring.

pearance of having passed the high

The value of prime cattle seems
TO be steadily advancing and the
wise ones are making predictions
which suggest $l2 per cwt. as a prob
able top for selected steer cattle dur
ing the fall and early winter trade.
There is, however, very little signifi-
canoe In the high prices at which a
few prime bullocks are selling. when
II is realized that IL is the scarcity OF
the article that causes the rise. It
is the activity In the feeder end OF
the trade that argues for permanency
OF future beef values. The scramble
TO get supply OF likely feeding cattle
is on In dead earnest, in all parts OF
the country, and commission buyers,
having this department in charge, are
at their wits end In the effort to sat
isfy their customers. The corn crop
is assured, as far as the middle coun-
try is concerned, and the fall feeder
NOV ement would be the heaviest in
years II only the cattle were available
to meet the needs of the situation.
Not as much can be said for the
trade in the medium grades of butch
ers' cattle. The market is fairly well
supplied with all kinds of tidy cattle,

CONVENTION OF SOLDIERS

thirty-fifth annual reunion OF the
Soldiers and Sailors association OF
st. Clair. Macomb and Sanilac couE-
ties closed yesterday, The veterans
marched through the streets for the
second time this year.
Besides the election OF officers, and
selection OF next years meeting place,
among the important matters tran
sacted at this reunion was the ell
dorsement OF Commander William o.
Lee, OF Port Huron, for the office or
department commander OF the Grand
Army OF Michigan for the ensuing
year. The next annual gathering will
be held at Lexington. The following
officers were elected: President.

market, arrivals are so badly mixed
that statesmen find 1t very hard to do
business. Strictly prime hogs are In
good demand, but thin little pigs and
stubble hogs are drug on the mar
ket, and must often be sold for a re-
duction OF 80 per cent below top quo
tations. Farmers should make 1t a
rule TO hold all thin hogs until they
are ready to go, as they will all
be needed. and prices will war
rant the undertaking. The demand
for fresh pork and cured meats con-
tinues strong, and the outlook for the
winter Is decidedly encouraging.
Really, the strongest element In
the present live hog situation is bull
ish behavior of the speculative pro-
vision market. Reports on provision
stocks show a lighter supply than
ever before at this season OF the
year Hogs have been selling at such
high prices throughout the summer
that packers have not cared to cure
meats, and the result is that a press
ing demand has reduced supplies un-
til, In the judgment Of many, the
present situation is an alarming one.
Conditions are rendered more serious
by the fact that all other kinds or
meat are selling at higher prices than
were ever before known.

to locate 45-caliber revolver bullet
that was supposed to be lodged there,
Detective John p. Smith, OF Mcclellan
station, rushed in with definite In
formation that Hobert had not been
shot. Whereupon Hobert who had
been In. state OF collapse, sat up In
bed. and when convinced that he had
not been shot, improved instantly.
Hobert and Bert Gibson live and
work on the yacht Priscilla, at the
foot OF Lillibridge-ave. Hobert, in

night, and a fight followed. Gibson

tiquity. none OF them loaded, are kept
on a rack. Gibson picked up a re-
volver, nearly foot long, and swung
1t against Hoberts head, infiictins a
small round hole near Hobert's nose
Excitable men on the yacht told

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 3.-Consider-

handed down by the supreme court,
Wednesday, affirming a decree OF d.
vorce granted TO John b. Sherer,
Van Buren, county farmer. from his
wife, Evelyn, on the ground OF de.

After a short acquaintance tue
parties were married on Dec. s, 1905,

been previously married. Sherer was

the owner OF sc acres OF good farm

PORT HURON, Mich, Oct. 3.-Onc
. OF the most interesting speeches made
In Port Huron during the present
campaign was delivered here las
night by woodbridge N. Ferris, OF Big
Rapids, Democratic candidate for goT'
ernor. The speech was made In the
Auditorium and was listened to by
q big crowd.
Mr.. Ferris stated that he was In
favor OF the initiative and referendum
and gave several reasons for being
40. He stated that Democracy was
TO awaken and that II was an impos-
sibility for any one man to exercise
q monopoly over Democracy.
TN regard to the present fight on
for president OF our country" said
Mr.. Ferris, II don't have to tell yo'l
people anything about Taft. because
all you have to do is to ask Roosevelt.
II you wish to know anything con-
cerning Roosevelt. ask Taft. In other
words, you surely don't want either
OF them for your next president as
one-haif what Taft says about Roose-
welt Is true and one-half what Roose-
Welt says about Taft is true.
They are remarking throughout
the state about my fitness for holding
ONCE OF governor. They say that |
am an educational head and not a
business head. Notwithstanding the
fact that I am at the head of an IN
institution where hundreds OF young
people are being educated daily,
experience as the result OF being at
the head Of one of the largest bank
ing institutions In Big Rapids.
Il want to tell you people, that the
