COUNTY TICKET-: FAVORED ACKERMAN MAKES SPEECH WILIS FOR ASSEMBLY Sentiment lor Change in Method of Selecting Candidates .Strength- - ened by Past . Events In- .. dorsements in Demand. - ROSEBURG. Or, July 12. (Special.) According' to reports, received at the office of Frank' E.' Alley, chairman of the Republican County. Central ' Com-, - mlttee, from the remote districts of Douglas County, the county assembly to be held at tile Courthouse in Rose burg 'next Saturday afternoon' will be well attended. In every precinct a full quota of del egates has been elected, and enthus iasm Is high.

Republicans of . Douglas, County-.lmost unanimous in favor, of carrying out the plans of the assembly. 'County Ticket Favored. Until- Yeeeriilf -titer was : a feeling : against Indorsing -a county ticket, but this Is changing gradually, and present Indications are that the- assembly' will, go oi. record favoring the Indorsement at least 'of several county candidates, as well as pledging Its undivided sup port of -state' candidates, who have ex-' pressed- themselves in sympathy . with the- assembly plan. Although It is early to predict the personnel of the Douglas County dele gation to be elected to. attend the state assembly at Portland, it Is safe to say that "it will include several of Douglas County's most Influential Republicans, amongth.em District Attorney. George. , M.""Brown, J. C. Fullerton, Elbert Her- ..Jackson, ex-State Senator: B. W. Bates, editor, of the Roseburg Evening News; ' J.. W. Perkins, secretary of the Douglas iCounty -Development - Company; J. H. '.."Booth, banker and ex-State 'Senator; A. C.. Marsters, banker and .ex-State Sen-. :'tt6r;-A. C. Seely, physician, and other " equally well-known Republicans. Several aspirants for office have filed declarations to become candidates, and in almost every instance they are awaiting the meeting of the county as . sembly in hope of receiving lndorse ' rrient "and Support. Jones Creates Demand. :Onlx one' aspirant. Representative George Jones, has thus far filed, a dec- J.aration: with .the County Clerk, in 'which opposition to the assembly plan is expressed. Jones was elected a : member of the Legislature two years ago, and through his election. Repub licans of Douglas-County believe, the -sentiment In favor of a new method of selecting candidates was'- developed. At Xhe time,. Jones. made formal announcer-' -inent' of becoming a candidate for Rep resentative he declared himself in fa vor of the direct primary law and statement No. 1, which prior to the last election was a popular movement throughout Douglas County. His re cord as a legislator, however, resulted in much unfavorable comment, and the belief was generally expressed, follow ing the sessions of the Legislature, that new methods of selecting candidates necessarily would have to be adopted in order that better qualified men might be persuaded to run for Rep resentative. It was .partly through Jones' election that the sentiment among the voters of Douglas County was changed. It was decided today that no proxies will be admitted at the county as sembly, but this ruling, it Is declared, will have little effect. Inasmuch as every delegate In the county will be present. Success and the election of the assembly candidates is the motto of Douglas County Republicans. LICOLX DE- tGATKS ELECTED Committeemen. Almost Caanlmous in Favor of Assembly Flan.

WHY NOT 'ARRANGE TO TAKE YOUR VACATION AT COLUMBIA BEACH; Columbia Trust Company Board of Trade Building RUSTLERS KILL MEN Organized Band Said to Have Slain Redskin Rivals. CATTLEMEN ARE AROUSED Trouble Which Began Six Months Ago With Death of Ranger at Hands of Indians May Result In Discovery of Outlaws. BOISE. Idaho. July 12. (Special.) The unearthing of evidence in Oakley, Cassia County, by Commissioner George A. Day, of the State Land Office, indi cates that a band of cattlerustlers are operating along the Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada state line and that they have not only stolen many hun- dreds of horses and cattle but killed off a hand of Indian rustlers who were in terfering with their plans. Already one T7 I 7 i I V STOCK UNITED AND IN EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE CARS ARE USED Made by the Oldest and Largest Manufacturers of Pneumatic Tires in the V orld 24th Inclusive death has resulted from the action of the Indian rustlers and an investiga tion rnay bring many others. The trouble started six months ago. Range men reported many head of cat tle and horses missing and it was de cided that Indian rustlers 'were' respon sible. Accordingly a band of the rangers set out to run the redskins to their lair. When near the boundary line of the two states, the rangers met the Indians and in the conflict that followed Frank Trammer, a ranger, was shot to- death. The Indians escaped. - Cowboys Are Excited. Commissioner Day had occasion to tour the southern part of the state a few days ago and while at Oakley, he met a large number of cowboys who had just come in from the round-up. They were apparently' greatly worked up over signs that led them to believe white outlaws , are carrying on a sys. tematlc and wholesale plan of cattle and horse stealing, and that this crew of "bad .men" had circulated the Indian cattle rustling report and latter run down and killed the "Indians . In order to shield their ow-n actions and keep the rangers from suspecting them. According to the report made to the authorities in this city by Commissioner Day, the .cowboys had found substan tlally.-hulit' corrals in.: many " places so constructed as to prove without ques-, tion' of a doubt that the worlrof-building them had been done by hands more experienced than' those of the red men. The cowboys say they also found pack saddles hidden among the-' trees, as well as many other Indications that white men had been on the ground, the prin cipal evidence being a number of LOOK FOR THIS SIGN TIRES THE jj "1 trenches In which had been thrown the bodies' of horses. Bodies May Be Concealed, These trenches had apparently been dug with pick and shovel and the cow boys expressed the belief that under neath the carcases of the horses, the bodies' of Indians were hidden. The report of the cowpunchers has greatly excited the ranchers in that section of the country and a demand has been made that the matter be in vestigated. In order to do this, the Ne vada authorities will have to be con sulted, for the rustlers rove back and forth, over the boundary line carrying on their illegal traffic and therefore In vade both Idaho and Nevada territory. Trouble la expected unless the au thorities run down the rustlers. CAR OF AUTOS MISSENT Consignment to Vancuver Furniture Man Proves to Be Mistake. VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 12. (Spe cial.) W.
