He Would Be Pleased

When approached on the subject to- day. Representative Heflin said:
 T have been told by Representative Dent that l was being considered for that great honor. If l am selected I shall be proud to respond. I am glad that the day has come when in call Ing the roll Alabama does not have to yield. but can rise in the pride of full fellowship in the union and can present the name of one of her own distinguished citizens for the highest office in the land. If 1t deyolves upon me l shall do my best to convince that convention that they will honor them selves and the country by placing the flag of democracy In the hands of the man who Is most responsible for dem ocracy's favorable position today.
 "I believe" said Representative lief lin, that he will be nominated. l can't help believing it. l was talking to two gentlemen from New York only yesterday and they assured me that he was growing stronger every day not only in their own state but all over the east.
 He is getting credit in the minds
 
 for his devotion 10 his duty and his untirlng efforts in carrying out the promises of the democratic party. His reward will be the nomination." de- clared IIeflin, and we will sweep the country"
 Is Famous Orator
 Mr Hefln is one Of the greatest orators in the House When he rises to speak he s always given the closest attention. He has a strong volum- inous voice, most pleasing to the ear. His ability as a speaker needs no en- comlums to the people Of Alabama. and it is sufficient to say if Tom Heflin gets on the floor Of the Baltimore con- vention and puts oscar Underwood In nomination hell do fl in a manner that will curl their hair. His colleagues are unanimous in the opinion that the se- lection of Representative Hefln would be a happy one and that MT Under woods name would be presented to the convention in terms of eloquence surpassed by none.
 Senator BanlShead said: "The ques- ton Of who will present MT Under woods name is being considered, but as yet it is not fully determined It will be done, however, and ably done by some one of the gentlemen of the Alabama delegation who will be en- trusted with that honor
 You may say said the senator, that am better pleased with the sit tia ton today than ever before l feel confident of victory. our position. I consider. ideal"
 The reservations for the Eutaw ho- tel have been transferred to the St James, as the management of tho Flu Jaw cannot agree to complete the re- pairs In time. Senator Bankhead said . ',rhe st James Is in every way as desirable as the Eutaw. and has all the convenIences. and is closer to the convention. l really think that the change is to our advantage and 1t will work no hardships upon any of the Ala bama delegation or the marching clubs"

Montgomery, June 10.-(Special Ut Is my purpose to put off calling an extra session of the legislature until after tine next general election in November. l shall not then call one unless conditions are such as to render a special session imperative. Indications seem to point to the fact that 1t will be necessary to call one sooner or later. but it is my purpose to put it off just as long as possible"
 This is the statement of Governor o'Neal in reply to direct question as to the probable date for calling an extra session of the legislature. The executive confessed that his mind was not fully made up on the subject, declaring that while 1t was probable that he should have to call a special session, it was his strong opinion that 1t would be better to put it off until after the November cleo tion, and as much longer as possible.
 Unwise Time for Session
 'I think it would be unwise to call a special session of the legislature on the eve of general election said the gov ernor
 ''The members of the two houses would have their minds filled with politics, ana it would be very poor time for the per formance of such important duties as they will have for consideration.
 Another reason why I should not like to call a special session of the legislature before the next general election is the fact that the Jefferson county eonstitu- tional amendment question, providing for a different regulation of the fee system in that particular county, will not be voted upon until that time. I think it better that this question should be se''ed before he calling of the legislature, in order that the representatives from that county may have an opportunity. should the amend mert carry. to provide all necessary ma chinery for the regulation 1of. .tife fee sys- tenn in that county,

 It will soon be decided who shall place Repi sentative Underwood of Alabama in nomination for the presidency before the democratic national convention. It was stated here today that Underwood's per sonal preference Is Representative J.

 Governor O'Neal of Alabama, also has been suggested in connection with pre- senting MT. underwoods name. MT. lief lin admits that Mir.

TEN MILLIONS WHO WON'T VOTE
Out of $4,000, 900 Males Only 10000
900 Will Vote in November

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-According
to the bureau of statistics the grand
total of the popular vote for aM can
didates for the presidency next No
vember, for the first time in the his
tory of the country will be registered
on more than 100000 ballots. In
the last presidential election in 1908
there were 14,SS7.000 votes cast. In
1900 there We're 13,965,000 voters who
exercised their rights to engage in the
great polling contest Consequently
1t is estimated that the same ratio of
increase will bring out more than
10, 100000 votes next November
The report of the census Office in
dictates that the official enumerators
found grand total OF 5000, 81
males of the voting age in continent
tai United States, and while it is real
lied that many thousands of these
potential voters" are disqualified be-
cause of educational or other failings,
and still other thousands cannot vote
because they happen to be aliens who
have not yet become naturalized, 1t is
likely that none of the rival candi-
dates for the highest office in the land
ever yet have realized that their united
efforts will not bring forth more than
|three-fifths of the possible grand to-
tai of voters.

YAKIMA ADVERTISED
BY SECRETARY RIDER
Business Mems Association Off
. GERS Address Chelan County
Merchants

Between 40 and 90 members of the
Wenatchee Business Mems association
assem- bled at the Commercial CLUB
rooms last evening, says Saturdays
Wenatchee World, to listen to an ad-
dress by Secretary ]. w. Rider of the
Yakima Valley Business Mems asso-
citation.
Mr.. Rider has been secretary of the
Yakima association for two years, or
since its organization, and reported
that 1t had been a great success in
every respect. BY cutting off the long
credits and reducing the amount of
chant is able to give better service and
sell his goods at closer margin to
his customers who do pay their bills.
Says Customer Benefits
Both the merchant and customer
thus benefit through this reform, and
further benefit comes through the
spirit of cooperation and friendliness
that exists among the business men of
the city. The Yakima association gives
an annual picnic at which there are
games. sports, speeches. etc. They
also give excursions to various nearby
points, the invariable rule during
these excursions that business or trade
shall not be mentioned
One of the features of the Yakima
association work is the Buy-at-Home
movement inaugurated by them. They
have offered series of prizes to the
writer of the best letter on why a
resident of the city should buy at
home. They are also preparing in
every way to meet the increased COM
petition from mail order houses which
is sure to come with the impending
passage of the parcels post measure.

CHAMBERS RAMPANT
IN EASTERN OREGON
Veterinarians of This State and
Idaho Also Keeping Watch
on Importations

Washington veterinary authorities
have been aroused by reports that
CHAMBERS Is rampant among horses in
eastern Oregon and that 1t is also pro-
curing foothold in other portions of
the state and In Idaho and Washing
ton. State veterinarians of the three
states are and have been In conference
to prevent the spread of the disease
and have sent word to their deputies
in various parts of the respective
states to Keep careful watch. Inn
portation of horses except under rigid
examination may be prevented IL the
governors act on suggestion made
to them regarding proclamation to
that end.
Through the negligence of railway
companies, says DR.. John F. Morel,
state veterinarian of Oregon, and the
failure of shippers to observe the
law, many horses suffering from
CHAMBERS have been shipped into the
state for railroad work. The horses
of the Utah Construction Company,
engaged In railroad work in eastern
Oregon, are suffering from the disease,
he declares, and 1t is particularly
rampant in Malheur county. Recently,
he asserts, carload of horses were

reach 100000 barrels. West of the
Rockies is going ahead very fast. par
ticularly Washington and Oregon.
AS this fruit will now be coming in
train loads instead of single cars, the
time has come when the question of
freight has to be considered. The rate
from the West is lie a pound equal to
$3.50 a barrel. whereas the rate from
most of the sending stations in the
East seldom exceeds 25c a barrel
which is a difference, in favor of the
grower, of $1.35 in the East as COM
pared with the West.
Apples Pay High Rate
Apples travel as 4th class matter
and when this apple business first
commenced in the West in the eight
les, only a few cars came forward,
the rate was then lie pound. Today
the apple crop will be moved in train
loads and it costs no more to pull a
train load of apples than it does a
train load of coal, and although we
are not asking for apples to be car
ried at the same rate as coal, we do
say that the rate should be cut any
where from W to Nc a pound. Be-
sides, that would be step in the
right direction for the railways them
selves.
At 1c pound the large quantities
now growing can never come East
to compete with the Eastern fruit. 1t
is up to the railways as to whether
they will pull a train load of apples
or only few cars at. time. We
think everyone in your district should
use their best endeavors to get this
rate reduced. ss
About Foreign Fruits
AS there seems to bel some sort of
an idea, particularly among some of
the Western growers that Europe
must have their crops, let me give
them some particulars as issued by
the French ministry of agriculture:
Apples and Pears. Tons of 1000 lbs.
Crops in 1908 ............. 2,6SS.S0o
This is equal to So, $4,000 barrels.
Cherries, lbs ........ -. 71,63S,000.
PlumS, IDS 500. IzV, zA4,VVV'
This is nearly double the produc-
ton of the United States of America
in 1908.

with four spring seats well cushioned
with blankets and things necessary for
a comfortable trip slowed away in the

along a route the beauty of which is
not everywhere equalled. The return
trip was begun Monday shortly before

Game of Baseball at Sumach Parl
Sunday Had Several Field
ing Features
WEST VIRGINIA WAS
OFF COLOR IN FIELD
War Horse Nelson Gave Great
Exhibition Of Pitching in Last
Five Innings, After Having
Been Called to Relieve Adams

The second and last game of the
present series between the team from
the Battleship West Virginia, station
ed at Bremerton, and the local Tigers
at Sumach park Sunday afternoon was
easily won by the latter, the score
being 10 to 2. The visitors were off
in their fielding and could not bat
successfully against the pitching of
Ieither Adams or Nelson. Adams start
ed to do the pitching for the Tigers,
and held the sailors without score
for three innings. In the second in
ming he was, struck on his pitching
arm by a pitched ball, and while he
managed to pull through the third
inning safely, it was seen that he was
aboring under difficulties. In the
fourth inning the navy boys made
both their runs. Gray took base
on balls and stole second. Lenhoff
landed for a three-bagger. Freels hit
safely to left for a single and went
on to second when Nissen allowed the
ball to get past him. Two runs had
been scored, but the next three men
went out in order, the last one being
retired by great one handed catch
by Cap Grover who jumped and grab
he'd a liner from Snyder's bat, the
most spectacular play of the day.
Adams arm was swollen and dis
colored by this time, and he seemed
to have lost his control, speed and
curves. War Horse Nelson was trotted
out and introduced. What he did to
the sailors Is easily and quickly told.
He put them to the mat in one-two-
three order for four innings, not a
safe hit being made and not a man
reaching first, for his control was
'faultless and his curves were breaking
nicely. He had so much on one of
his spitball drops that it fooled both
him and Catcher Martin, and both
thought certain ball pitched should
have been called strike, as they had
not noticed that it took such a drop
as it passed over the home base that it
would have knocked the head off a
chipmunk had it been sitting there.
In the ninth inning, the first man
to bat got life through Cromer drop
ping his fly. That man was Gray.
He was out trying to steal second,
and the next two went out in order.
The locals started to win the game
in the first inning by making one run,
They added three in the second and
one in the third. There was a stop
put to the run-getting there until the
seventh inning, when five more came
pattering across the pan in rapid sue
cesSion, four safe hits having much to
do with that result.
Saunders made a fine catch of line
drive to deep left centers in the first
it's feet and prevented a score. Nissen,
saunders and Cromer in the outfield
are hard to beat.
