The Weeks Announcements

Mike Rock appears in this issue as
candidate for sheriff at the Democratic
primaries. Mike lie too well known all
over the county to need any introduc
at our hands. He came to Silver CITY
IN 20 and has lived here ever since. He
has had plenty of experience in the
office he seeks. He has served three
years as marshal, four years as deputy
sheriff and four years as sheriff. He is
democrat first, last and all The time
and was delegate to the famous Wallace
convention four years ago, which saw
the beginning of the end of the rule of
Senator Dubois in Idaho politics. Mike
will surely make his opponents hustle
for the nomination.

In addition to Garrecht and consider
able interest is being taken in the
coming meeting since it will be the
first gathering of the sort held here
this fall.
Although the campaign in Oregon
has scarcely become livened up in
earnest yet, the local supporters of
Wilson and Marshall are anxious to
get organized and do what they can
for their ticket. The recent speeches
by Colonel Roosevelt reflecting on the
Wilson campaign are taken as mean
ing that the bull moose feel they have
Wilson, not Taft, to beat in Oregon
This is view that is also shared by
others for it is very common express
sion these days that Oregon will go
for either Wilson or Roosevelt, the
light vote cast for President Taft last
April indicating plainly that he is the
third man in the race in this state.
This state of affaivs Is driving to
Wilson's support many republicans
who despaired OF Taft's success and
are anxious to defeat Roosevelt.

WILL SHOW why YOUNG VOTERS SHOULD
BACK CANDIDACY OF WOODROW WILSON

Frank A. Garrecht, Walla Walla
lawyer and one of the best speakers
of Eastern Washington, is to be here
Saturday evening for the Wilson
Marshall meeting at which a Wilson
league is to be formed for the purpose
of promoting the candidacy of the
New Jersey governor in this county
Ex-senator John NJ. Gearin has also
been invited to attend the gathering
In the talk which he will make,
the Walla Walla speaker will devote
considerable time TO showing why
young voters should identify them
selves with the Wilson campaign this
fall. He will show that Governor
Wilson's forces are waging a clean
campaign, refusing to accept money
from big business, and base their
fight on logic, not on steam roller
methods or an appeal to prejudice
and passion.
The Wilson-Marshall meeting is to
be held at the court house which has
been secured for the occasion. 1t is
expected to have several speaker

With hardly a moments hesita-
ton, the council last evening refused
the petition of certain Jackson street
property owners asking the city to
pay half of the expenses of the pro-
posed paving of that highway. AS
soon as it was read 1t was referred
to the street committee which
promptly recommended refusal and
the council acted unanimously upon
the report. Thus ended a move char
acterized by individual members of
the council as a scheme of obstruc-
tionists to arouse sentiment for an
effective remOnstrance.
The petition set forth that they
We're willing to pay for fifty per cent
of the proposed paving If the city
would pay for the other fifty per
cent; that one of the principal rea-
sons set forth for the proposed i'm
provement was a promise made by
the city to the state that the street
leading to the branch sylum would be
paved; and that it is not fair to ask
the property owners on Jackson street
to redeem the promises of the city.
1t was signed by 20 property own
ers in the proposed improvement dis
trict, the greater majority of whom
have been consistently opposed to
paving. The following were the
names to the petition: Will Moore,
d. Gordon. Mrs. G. T. Meeker. James

No one of the petitioners was pres

I. R. DEFENDS
HIS POSITION
Declares in La Grande Speech That
He Has No Personal Ambition Be.
yond Serving People.

La Grande, ore, Sept. 12.-His
voice hoarse from speaking, it was
with a great effort that Colonel
Roosevelt defended himself at length
against the charge of personal ambi-
ton here today. He dealt strongly on
the statement that the progressive
movement was in no sense personal
to him. my fealty," he declared sis
to the people, my plea is for disin-
terested leadership" The big crowd
which heard him applauded vigorous
ly.
"I came out for the presidential
nomination only when / believed l
would carry the cause of the people
forward" was Roosevelts assertion.
at is the cause that counts. Per-
sonality of the man is no consequence
except as he may happen to be of
assistance in advancing the cause"
Roosevelt introduced a score of new
epigrams In one referring to Sem
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania and
John D. Archbold of the Standard
Oil Co. he said: THE Lord hath de-
! livered them into my hands. 1 will
| hew at them hip and thigh now that
l can get at them in the open field
Roosevelt bitterly assailed Taft's
plan of sending imported orators
behind him, labelling them "discred'
| tied politicians and prophets without
honor In their own country"
Roosevelt made a picturesque en-
| try here today, delivering an address
/ to 5000 at the Union county fair.
Members of the fraternal order OF
Moose garbed in uniforms suggestive
of the era of the crusaders escorted
the colonel. The plan by the Taft
forces to blanket Roosevelt's speech
by having John NJ. Harlan, son of the
late chief justice of the supreme court
on hand Immediately to answer the
colonel. was nipped IN the bud by the
fair management which refused to
allow the Taft defender to speak to
the grandstand.
Roosevelt declared he was greatly
touched by the big bunch of flowers
handed him with a card reading
The children of Oregon love you be-
cause you believe in our mothers, and
are a great defender of the American
home"
Roosevelt continued his attack be-
gun yesterday in Portland on certain
delegates sent from Oregon to the re-
publican national convention and
branded five who turned against in
structions as traitors who should re-
ceive punishment"
''If you pardon a man who steals
a nomination" said Roosevelt, when
he goes into office he will steal more
than a nomination"

FOREST RANGERS IDLE.
WOODS TOO WET To BURN

Salem, Or, Sept. l2.-Satisfied
there exists practically no further
danger of forest fires this season,
State Rorester Elliot has called in
all of the federal forest patrolmen,
and also put the state supervising
wardens off the permanent payroll.
The recent rains, he says, have damp
ened the woods so there is no dan
ger now from fire and before the
timber can dry out again the fall
rains will be here. There have been
practically no forest fires this sea-
son and the damage suffered Is in
consequential. In addition to making
this showing, the department will be
able, by calling off the federal pa
trolmen now, to show a surplus In
the Weeks appropriation OF about s4.-
OO0 and a surplus in the state appro-
priation of about $4,000.
