Calais Port Open to
Salt Pork Importation

The State Department has received a
cablegram from Ambassador Herrick
at Paris. saying that the port of Calais
has been opened to the importation Of
salt pork originating from the United
States. The decree has been published
and is now in force.
The State Department has from time
10 time pressed on the French govern
ment the Importance OF liberal con-
struction OF the sanitary regulations
which. in some instances, has been en-
forced to the disadvantage of American
pork products. The opening OF the
port of Calais will do away with what

BY THEODORE TILLER.

RENO, New, Sept. 14.-In Reno,
the mecca of married malcontents,
Colonel Roosevelt, candidate for the
Presidency and national-famed ad-
versary of race suicide, tarried for a
few moments shortly before noon to-
day. 81.
The Bull Moose leader was ac-
corded vociferous welcome in this
wfde-open Western town, and he
preached Progressiveism and ma
tional morality to a large audience
Of natives and transient would-be
Divorces. After the short stay here
the colonel struck out for California,
a State regarded as overwhelmingly
Progressive.
He will reach San Francisco to-
night. On the way the colonel Is

Hardships Telling.
The hardship of the first ten days of
his tour demonstrated that the bull
moose voice would not stand the strain
of constant speechmaking and Colonel
Roosevelt has adopted a rule not to
deliver more than two set speecnes in
any State.
Ctot is,p 10
being for Taft, and Nevada IS now re-
garded as pretty strong for Wilson, but
notwithsta nding this, Colonel Roose-
Welt has cause for elation today over
the warmth of the greeting through
these commemorative conceded TO be
more barren Roosevelt territory than
any States in the great West.
At Ogden, Utah, last night the crowds
were so large and enthusiastic the po-
lice were powerless and eveIi members

and the colonel was forced to make
short speeches despite the danger II

Progressive candidate met with the
only cool reception of the week. In
this senu-Mormon town there wds no
great outpouring of the porulace and
the thousand or more persons who
heard the colonel seemed dpathctic.
The citizens of Blacktoot, Idaho, Were
so anxious to hear the colonel they
chartered a special train from Poca-

itinerary for a couple of hours. Al the

heads, and now with eHarst coming
forward as sharp opponent of the
one proposal on which Wilson Is MAX
ments piling up, the Democratic chance
Is growing beautifully less and Demo
cratic politicians are in a most unen-
ViaDle frame of mind.
Situation In the South.
From North Carolina and Georgia
come, by way of Democratic media, re-
ports that the situation in those States
is very bad. Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, who is in touch with the
situation In the north State as well as
his own, is credited with a recent ex-
preston to the effect that the situation
In North Carolina was more favorable
to Roosevelt than to anybody else.
1t Is known, too, that Senator Furni-
scared badly over the discovery that
the Industrial communities In his State
are solid for Roosevelt. Simmons, who
is a protection Democrat, has always
enjoyed the support of this element; II
Is not with him this year. and he is
fearful that It's loss Is going to cost
him the Senatorship and Wilson the
electoral vote of the State.
Even Alabama is declared by Demo-
Gratis who have lately been in Wash
ington and who are In clos. toucn with
It's politics TO be in danger oI going to
the Progressive party.
Fear Wilson on Tariff.
Down at the bottom underneath all
the conversation, the partisqnship and
the prejudices, there is the fact that
tfse business element and the workers
In industry are fearful of the tariff
program that Governor Wilson has
been presenting They recognize that
Taft has no chance; the only man VIII,
Is really in the running and who rep.
resents the purpose of maintaining the
protection policy is Roosevelt. This is
the basis of the Simmons troubles in

nifty with that policy and do away with

to be held in Boise in June. He
was also a member of Syringa
Temple No. 4, Pythian Sisters,
and was sedulous in advancing its
welfare.
For many years Mr.. Post was
justice of the peace of Rathdrum
precinct. and had long maintained
an Office on First street. In con-
nection with this he was U. S.
commissioner, notary public and
village magistrate. Besides all
these positions, which he held at
the time of his death, he was also
president of the Fraternal Building
association and secretary of the
Dandy Mining and Milling COM
pany. His faithfulness in the work
of his church, his business con-
nections and his high position in
social life will cause him to be
greatly missed by the entire com
immunity.
