Fair Premiums.

Attention is called to the fact that
in writing up the certificates of
award for premiums at the recent
fair, the secretary is simply guided
by the books as handed over by the
various committees, and cannot be
changing them, although various par
ties are exhibiting pretty good proof
that blunders have been made in
awards. For instance, S. Permission
claims the first award in Division
l, Glass l, the best and most artistic
display of potted plants, instead of
flowers, as reported in the entry
books. He also claims the first award
on dahlias and has the blue ribbon
to show for it, though the entry
book gives the first premium to an
other party. Division as published
in the papers should read Division |.
There are many other such errors
becoming apparent. However, the
books are the only guide in making
out the awards, and the certificates
are now being written up, but will
not be ready for delivery for some
time.

Bert threw away on the afternoon of
the discovery of the body, and identi-
fled as belonging to the murdered
man. There was no one to corrobo-
rate the testimony of Spanos. Spanos
also told the story of the finding of
the So bill and gold watch he
claimed he saw in the possession of
Cummings. The allegations of Spa
nos were not backed up by the testi-
mony of a disinterested witness.
Spanos was on the stand for an
hour and in that time he told a story
entirely different from anything he
had told before, and made an ill-con-
cealed effort to shift the blame on
other shoulders than his own. He
testified that Cummings returned
home about l clock on the night of
the murder and that Nick and Louie
Christie had washed their clothes in
the sink about the same time, be-
cause they did not have time in the
daytime" Mrs. Spanos partially
cOrroborated the story of her hus-
band, and her daughter proved a
good witness for her own husband
1t is not likely that the trial OF
Spanos will be heard before the De-
cember term of court, as the devel-
opments of the last few days have
further muddled the case, and the
authorities need a longer time to
work out several important details.

'BOURNE'S REASONS FOR RUNNING
SENIOR SENATOR In LONG COMMUNICATION OUTLINES POSITION IN
PRESENT CAMPAIGN WHY HE is A CANDIDATE

Portland, Oct 9.-United States
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., today
officially launched his candidacy for
reelection, in an address to the peo-
pie in which he explains his present
status in relation to his antagonist
before the primaries and in relation
to his party constituents, defends his
record and points with pride to his
present position in the senate, and
submits a platform of some length
for the further consideration of the
voters of Oregon. The senator Sc
verely arraigns his victorious antag-
onist, Mr.. Selling, and asserts that
the latter's victory at the primaries
was achieved by violations of the
corrupt practices act. Senator
Bournes address in full follows:
Senator Bourne's Statement.
To the voters of Oregon: At the
earnest solicitation of many citizens
of Oregon who assert that my defeat
in the republican primaries was ac-
complished by deception and viola
ton of the corrupt practices act, |
have accepted the nomination by pc
tition, signed by over $1,000 voters
of the state, as popular government
candidate for the United States SEN
atorship After careful consideration
of all the facts l am satisfied that
both the spirit and the letter of the
corrupt practices act were violated.
The character of campaign conduct
ed by leading opponent of my opin-
ion nullifies any obligation of the
citizens to abide by the result of his
primary election. To uphold a pri-
mary nomination secured by unfair
and unlawful means would be blow
at the primary law itself. The can
didate nominated and elected by
such means would never be seated by

MAKES GOOD QUICKLY.
Takes University Graduate Only
-Four Months to Win His Way.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Oct.
9.-Last June just student, now in
a responsible position in the business
world and about to marry a coed
classmate he met at the University of
Oregon. That is the change that the
short summer months and his abil-
ity and training have brought to
David L. Mcdaniel, a graduate of
this year. Announcements are out
of his coming marriage to Miss La
Comic Jamison of Portland.
Mr.. Mcdaniel has been selected by
the w. A. Gordon Company, Port
land grain merchants, to open and
manage their Spokane office for the
purchase of grain throughout the In
land Empire. This is most respon-
sible position, as the purchase in
each case will be made from a basis
of scientific experiment. Mr.. Nc
Daniel will buy his wheat after max
ing chemical tests, not by weight or
measure, and by the gluten test.
From an average lot he will choose
sample free from chaff and weeds,
and from this make flour in a small
'''ill. This crude flour will be sifted
through 40-mesh screen, and Ger
tain portion of it will then be weigh
ed. Dough will then be made, using
the smallest possible amount of wa
ter This dough is the basis of the
test.
The company, in buying their
grain according to this test, pays Z
or s cents more than the market
price in order to get the finest grade
wheat.

Messrs. Kennedy and Clark Address
Citizens From the Progressive
Standpoint Wednesday.

A progressive rally that was but
slightly advertised drew good
crowd at the Plaza Wednesday after
noon. The speaking was opened by
b. e. Kennedy, progressive candidate

briefly of the principles of the pro-
gressive party as well as of its prin-
cipals. Both gentlemen held the at
tention of their hearers closely and
quite a crowd remained after the
speaking to greet the gentlemen per-
sonally.
Among the progressives present
from out of town were A. X. Ware,
DR.. Rate and Chief of Police Hitson
of Medford. Ben Selling, republican
candidate for U. S. senator, Senator

PROGRAM
Some of the Salient Points i'm the
Platform of the Bull Moose
Party.

In the progressive platform are
many planks that have social anC
industrial justice as their aims. Here
is discussion the party's stand or
working conditions of women, from
the Chicago Tribune:
For working women the progress.
ives propose to limit the hours OF
work to eight per diem and to insti-
tute a minimum wage
Both of these proposals are radi-
cal. The democratic platform hasn't
a word about either minimum wage
or eight-hour day. The republicans
say they will strive to regulate eff
fectively" the hours of labor OF
women.
When women are overworked the
next generation is born tired. Work
ing women must be regarded not
merely as so many economic units,
but also as the mothers of the future.
1t is to protect maternal functions
thath the eight-hour restriction is
proposed.
The minimum wage is somewhat
more experimental. The Chicago
vice commission, composed of per-
sons of varying creeds and expert
ences of life. reported unanimously
that the underpayment of working
girls was the chief cause of prostitu-
tion. If by statute law working girls
can be assured living wage such a
law shuld be put on the statute
books, for it would prevent more hui
man misery perhaps than any other
hundred laws, put together.
We confess we do not know if such
a law would work. We believe, how
ever, that the subject is worth the
most careful and earnest investiga-
tion which wisdom can give it. This
the progressives have
pledged themselves to make.
Neither of the other two party
platforms mentions minimum
wage" The proposition is apparent
ly too radical for them even to inves-
tigate.

MUST PROVE ASSERTIONS.
Roosevelt Asks Wilson to Prove
Trust Backing.

Albany, n. Y, Oct Colonel
Roosevelt tonight called on Governor
Wilson, either to prove or retract his
statement at Denver that the steel
corporation was behind the third
party program in regard to the regu-
lation of the trusts" LAS far as |
know" said Roosevelt, the state
ment has not the slightest founda-
tion in fact. Wilson has no business
to make such a statement unless he
has proof"
Roosevelt passed through Albany
on his way to Michigan, the first
state in which he will spetk on his
tour of the middle west.

ed.
The violation of the corrupt prac-
tices act, however, has not been the
determining factor in my again be-
coming a candidate, though more
than sufficient for my opposing the
election of Mr.. Selling.
Call From the People.
My candidacy is based upon a call
direct from the people. The duty of
citizenship is responsiveness to the
popular will where clearly expressed.
In time of war, when a citizen is
called it is his duty to serve his coun-
try. In time of peace when the citi-
zen is called for public service it is
his duty to answer the call. No citi-
zen can honestly, intelligently or pa
triotically deny this truth.
Furthermore, in the acceptance of
any high office, and | feel the sena-
torship to be the highest office in
the land, | deem there goes an i'm
piled obligation of continued service
as long as the people desire the indi-
vidual's retention. No individual has
the right to put his own opinion or
personal desire ahead of a call from
the people.
Large Petitions Presented.
The people in this state have de-
clared by an amendment to the con
stitution that the petition of s pei
cent of the voters shall be sufficient
to submit a constitutional amend.

Police Will Enforce Law Against We
hicleS.

The local police are sending out
warnings TO vehicle owners of Ash
land and vicinity to comply with the
state laws regarding the lighting of
vehicles driven at night At the last
session of the Oregon legislature a
law was passed requiring all vehicles
driven at night to display lights on
the rear, and that the law has now
been in effect for some time, al
though no radical action has been
taken in tbs enforcement Plenty of
time has been given everyone to
equip their vehicles and to familiar
ize themselves with the law, and
hereafter no one will be immune
from arrest for violations. If you
are still not familiar with the law
the police will be glad to give all
necessary information. 1t applies to
every kind of vehicle driven at night.

ATLANTA CROWD
Kisses ROOSEVELT

ATLANTA, GA Specia1.-A ter
rifle broaGside was hurled at Cover
nor Wilson, in a speech at the audi
torium Saturday night. by Colonel
Roosevelt, before an animated throng
that packed the auditorium. In the
Governors former home town, where
he practiced law, and in the State
where Colonel RoOseVelt'S mother was
born, the eX-President passed the lie
to the Democratic candidate.
In the throng that heard Roosevelt
were scores of Wilson shouters, who
tried to break up the meeting. At
one time, after an interruption, an
uprOar ensued that verged as a riot.
The eX-PreSident went along all
right with his speech until he came
to his personal allusion to Governor
Wilson. The moment he uttered the
Democratic candidates name, there
were cries of Wilson! Wilson," The
Wilson SympathiZerS cheered Justify
for a minute, while Roosevelt stood
with hand appraised. When the Will
son applause had quoted down,
Roosevelt cried out: II was about to
say that Mr.. Wilson has declared the
Democratic platform is not a pro-
gram. Now cheer that"
This time the Roosevelt partisans
cheered. The Colonel had not got
very far when a fiery-tempered' Will
son man blurted out, why did you
TepuQlate the RepuD llcan party after
you had sought the nomination at it's
hands?"
The crowd broke loose into catcalIs
and Kisses. Wilson men cheered I'M
til they were tired. Roosevelt ha0 to
wait five minutes before he could re-
ply.
Later on disturbers in the crowd
began yelling for Wilson again.
Roosevelt stopped, leaped to a table
and declared with grim determine
ton, Now. I'm not in a fancy fencing
match. I'm going to talk ana you
can decide after hearing me if you
want to believe in me. But you're
going to hear me-"
| Interruptions Cease.
After that there were no more in
terruptions.
Speaking to the assemblage as
Fellow Georgians," the ex-President
asked them to repudiate the Demo-
| cratic candidate, maintaining that
Wilson had nothing but a vague policy
to offer as a remedy for the existing
national evils. Roosevelt assailed
| Wilson for having, as he angrily
charged, misrepresented the colonel in
quoting from his campaign utterances

BelascO and the Books.

David Belasco is famous for his
attention to minute detail in the stag
ing of the plays which he produces.
He even passes on the kinds of nails
and tacks used i'm the building of his
scenery. But he surpassed himself
this season when he put on The Case
of Becky" a play which deals with
hypnotic suggestion. The first and
second acts of the piece take place in
the office of a sanitarum, and the
physician in charge is noted as a
great authority on hypnotism.
Soon after the first production of
the play, BelascO was showing a friend
all the scenic effects of the production.
on the desk of the physician was sta
tionery stamped with the fictitious
name of the sanitarium.
This" explained the producer, ''is
merely a small detail to create the
impression in the minds OF the actors
that they are in real sanitarium, in
stead of on the stage"
He then threw open the door of a
large bookcase which ordinarily would
have contained dummy volumes.

of-fact tone. 'is the best library in

ROAD CONGRESS
MEETS in SESSION
HIGHWAY BUILDING AND MANY
OTHER MATTERS WILL RE-
CEIVE ATTENTION.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j. Special
The American Road Congress opened
here, to continue till October 9th, in
elusive.
IT is intended at this congress to
take up the subject of highway build
ing more thoroughly than has ever
been done before in this country.
From the attitude of the delegates and
visitors to the congress il is apparent
that they are all enthusiasts, de-
termined to give IL the cause of public
roads the greatest impetus it has yet
received.
One Of the chief organizations rep
resented at the congress is the Ameri-
can Bar Association. The delegates
from this association are Frederick Il.
Wadhams, Of Albany, n. Y; William
d. Schier, of Boston, and Henry ID.
EstabroOk, of New York city. The
association, through these delegates,
will have charge of the legislative sec
ton OF the congress, one of the chief
purposes of which is to frame
definite legislative program TO be sup
ported consistently in the future by all
of the societies allied with the con-
gress.
Another important feature of the
congress will be the conference of the
leading educational institutions of the
country under the auspices OF the So
ciety fer the Promotion of Engineer
ing Education. One of the great prob
lens that confronts the congress is
the insufficient supply of engineers to
carry on the work of public road
building. 1t is. therefore, the object
of this conference of educational in
situations to so into the matter thor
oughly and see if the various col
leges and universities of the country
cannot supply the required number of
engineers to carry on the work con-
tempiated.
The congress is presided over by
Logan Waller Page, director of the
United States office of Public Roads,
who in welcoming the delegates and
visitors to the congress, he made an
impressive speech.
