CASE OF TAIL WAGGING DOG
Apparent Effort to Force Out Regu-
lar Party Candidates.
IT'S FAILURE IS PREDICTED
Restiveness at the Capitol at the De-
lay of the Campaign for
the President.

Some congressional friends of President
Taft say they discern in the successive
organization of complete third party tic
kets in important republican states an
apparent effort on the part of the third
term candidate to boost along the effort
of those cold feet politicians who
would urge the President to withdraw
from the race.
In their view it is the play of the
third term candidate to make 1t appear
on the surface and to the unthinking
that the real republican party in normal
republican states is the bull moose
faction. and that the party supporting
the candidate regularly nominated is the
interloper
1T is an attempted case of the tail
wagging the dog" said one senator today.
He went on to say that 1t should be the
duty of all regular republicans to keep
clearly before the voters the distinction
between a convention duly called and held
under the auspices of the regular or
ganization and '.rump'' convention
called by a disappointed faction.
If there is to be any withdrawing,
said this senator. 1T should be by the
third term candidate and not by the
nominee of the party
The presumed purpose of the bull
moosers is to frame up separate organiza-
then demand that in the interest of the
republican party and to prevent demo-
cratic success the regular ticket should
be taken down.
Failure Is Predicted.
The best Judgment among politicians at
the Capitol is that this bluff" by the
third term candidate will not be success
full. Neither do they think, however.
that the third term candidate can be in
duced to back out They think he is
obsessed with the idea that the nation
demands him. and that he will be willing
to take his chances with Wilson, even
with the regular party ticket still in
the field. His secondary object is TO beat
Taft at any loss to the party, they al
lege, and he would stay in the race TO
effect it.
Delay Of Taft Campaign.
Politicians at the Capitol are restive
under the delay of the Taft campaign in
getting under way They observe with
some trepidation the fact that every day
the newspapers print long accounts Of
the growth of the Wilson boom. also full
limitations from Oyster Bay, but nothing
is heard Of the Taft campaign. although
it had at least ten days start Of the Will
son campaign
Men who come back from New York,
however, say there is no need to be fret
ted; that the Taft work is getting in
shape on a solid foundation, il somewhat
slowly. and that when 1t does get steam
up there will be some going.
The psychological effect of the joyous
claims from the Wilson camp is not lost
on the politicians. who appreciate the inn
portance Of making loud claims of vic
tory and painting bright pictures Of sue
cess to encourage the faltering and the
uncertain.

Secretary Wilson. who was present. dd
not add to the controversy. At a previous
hearing he had denied that he had got the
place for his son, that the government
had aided the western enterprise. He ex-
planned the "wining and dining charges
of Representative Akin by saying he had
attended a banquet of the Denver Cham
Der of Commerce In celebration of the
irrigation projects progress.
Representative Akin said after the
meeting:
.'The committee heard Secretary Wilson
without informing me that he was to
appear. l do not expect fair treatment,
and I am going to take the matter up on
the floor of the House. l received affi-
davits this morning corroborating my
charges. and will give them to the coun-
try later"

there said Representative Akin Of New
York today on leaving meeting of the
House committee on agriculture.
Mr.. Akin had told the committee his
reasons for accusing Secretary Wilson OF
the Agriculture Department OF getting his
son Jasper job with the Denver Reser-
voir Irrigation Company at S10.Ooa a
year. Mr.. Akin read letters attacking the
company.

Rate of Adjudication. A

There will be about 10000 claims filed
under the act of NAV IL, 1917, Mr.. Pom
creme continued The commissioner Of
pensions appeared before the suDcommit
tee OF the House committee on appropria-
tions and testified that at that time they
could only handle about 4OO cases per
day. They can handle now about 600.
At that rate II would take 80 days to
adjudicate these claims
The Senate also accepted the amend
ment providing an appropriation of $225.-
ODU for continuing the work of the tariff
board for another year. The House had
attempted to end the existence OF the
tariff board by q failure TO provide money
for its work. but the Senate. by its action
yesterday insists upon the continuance
of the work This will prove one OF the
trou uolesome questions in the conference
over the bill.
The tariff board appropriation stirred
up much discussion yesterday afternoon
in the Senate. The democrats. with the
exception of Senators Chamberlain. New
lands and Thornton. fought the provision,
while the republican regulars and insur-
gents stood firmly for 1t.

Democratic Plan Beaten.

The democrats tried TO substitute pro-
vision for a congressional tariff board, to
be composed OF five senators and five
but that was defeated by
a straight party vote of 81 TO II. The
Senate however, accepted an amendment
by Senator Bristow requiring the tariff
board 10 repoqhonce year TO Congress.
II was in TIKI connection that Senator
Borah introduced the term bull moose
into the Senate records. 1t had been as
serted that some expert of the tariff
board had supplied information to demo-
Gratis and republicans in Congress.
Would il be proper" asked Senator
Borah, ITO require this gentleman to
supply information also on the bull
moose party?"
He was assured at once that any in
formation in the possession OF the tariff
board would be available for the @Bull
moose" organization.
The Senate accepted. but in modified
form, the House provision restricting the
employment of former employees and Of
ficials of the Department of Justice as
private counsel at larger salary than was
received during their regular employ
mont in the department. The time which
must elapse before former employs
may be hired as special counsel was re-
duced from two years, as fixed by the
House, TO six months, at the suggestion
of Senator Hoke Smith. democrat. OF

Railroad Decided Over.

On Tuesday Of this week the Ne

extending from llazen, New, to Mo
iavc. Cal, to the Central Pacific Rail
road company, The line was known
as the Hazcn cutoff to southern Cali
fornia from the Southern Pacific main
line across Nevada The considera-
ton was $1,0o0052, and the purchas-
ing company assumed $S,500,000 III
outstanding bonds. Several small
branch roads were included in the
deal
1t is more than likely now that the
piece OF narrow gauge road between
Sodavile and Keeler will be made a
standard guage, unless the Southern
Pacific company concludes to branch
off near WabuSka and run south
through Mason Valley to connect
with the southern country.

OF the loot obtained in the Great
Northern robbery near Wagner, Mon
tana. in 1901. He recently was re
leased from the Federal prison at At

surprising the effect the opening up
of the Mason Valley smelter has had

rate of 80 cents from the former
point and 90 cents a ton from Nina

mining. and as the ores from these
sections contain large percentage of

SACSH MAY YR CO.'S BUSINESS HURT FEY Line IMPORTANT ONE


The Importance OF the recent or
ders for the extension of branch and
subsidiary lines Of the Southern Pa
cific is becoming more and more APP
parent with the discussion of the
Fernley northern extension author
lied last week, and the ranch and
lumber interests of the country north
of Reno see great prospects for the
development of that region.
No little part of the significance of
the railroad rivalry between the Har-
riman lines and the Hill roads is
shown by the fact that the new ex-
tension Of ia miles will ultimately
form one OF the links to connect Port
land. northeastern California and
southern Oregon with the east by
way OF the Central Pacific and Ogden
gateway.
All told the expenditures for rail
road extensions now contemplated ag
gregate the sum of nearly $30,000,000.
The Fernley Northern alone will cost
S5,000,000 Seven lines are included
with a total of 746 miles, as follows:
California Northwestern, 90 miles
Oregon Eastern 100 miles; Fernley
Northern, l24 miles; Walker Timber
branch. II miles; Modoc Northern, 80
miles; Goose Lake and Southern, 100
miles: Chico and Northern, l20 miles.

from Weed to Klamath Falls, has
already been built and is absorbed by
the Oregon Eastern The Weed Ma
tron line will give the Southern Pa
cilic lower grade over Mount Shasta
and will make two trunk lines from
California into Oregon.
The Fernley Northern is to be part
of route between Klamath Falls and
Fernley Fernley is on the Central
Uacihc, and with the connection be
tween the Fernley branch and the Ma
tron line the through connection be-
tween Portland and Ogden can be
made
The Hill roads are also active and
are building the Oregon trunk line
south from the Columbia river toward
Klamath Falls The Western Pacific
is expected to be the ultimate south
ern outlet to the east for the Hill
roads.
1t is said in Lassen county that one
of the strong inducements for the
early building of the Fernley North
ern road is the prospect of handling
the immense lumber shipments OF
T. B. Walker, the lumber king of
Minneapolis. A branch of II miles
will be built from the Fernley line
to the Walker reserves and more than
a million cars of lumber will find an
outlet over the new road.-Reno

George Wingfield president OF the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines com
pany, and also OF the Nevada Hills
company, in Farview, has given to
the press the following interview on
certain phases of the defeat of the
Hydro Electric bill in Congress:
81 notice through press dispatch
that Congress, with its newly de
veloped fever for investigating and
discussing trusts, has now discovered
a water power trust i'll the form OF
Hydro Electric company, which fur
nishes power for the mining camps
Of Aurora, Lucky Boy. Rawhide, Fair
view and Wonder, and it does seem
to be a little farfetched demogoguery
to try to lead the people into bel1ev-
ing that this comparatively little
power company is a trust or member
OF a trust to gobble up the power of
this State.
The mass of the western people,
and especially the people OF this State,
do not seem TO fully realize the far
reaching importance OF this sort OF
legislation and that it comes back
upon each one of them personally.
There is no doubt that such narrow
minded legislation is today the cause
Of the idleness OF the mills at Fair
view and Wonder, and the immediate
reason in this case is the refusal OF
the government to allow the Hydro
Electric company a right-ofw way over
$500 feet of ground i'll supposed, or
YOU might call it. constructive for
est reserve. which contains practically
no timber, thus holding UP the com
pany for several months. On this &C
count alone the company was unable
to catch the food waters last year
which is now resulting in shortage
OF power
The result to the people OF this
State and the investors in the east
and west, who have put their money
here. is that these properties are ly-
ing idle and undeveloped, the mills
are not producing, but instead. are
deteriorating each day, men are out
Of employment with no market for
their labor. and capital is tied up

This man Pinchot, the real insti-
gator OF it all, has hindered and Grip
