No attempt has been made to take a poll of the members of the committee as to"their position with respect to a complex Presidential situation. How. ever. Robert C. Wright, chairman of the county organization, has decided to ar range for a meeting of "the executive committee next week, if possible, al though it is possible that the festivities incident to the Elks' convention and the annual -mid-Summer exodus of Portland citizens to the coast or the mountains may make it impossible to hold the meeting until later. Active Campaign Anticipated. The committee, as It is constituted, is an aggressive body of Republicans, who, at a meeting shortly after the pri mary election, manifested a desire to take an- active part in the campaign preceding the November election. Its executive committee at that time in sisted upon the adoption of a platform by the candidates that had received the party nomination, but this detail was assigned to a committee representing both the county committee and the in terested candidates. "The purpose of the proposed meet ing, a definite date for which has not been arranged, is to enable the mem bers of the executive committee to re view the situation and get their bear ings," Bald Robrt C. Wright, chairman of the county committee, yesterday. "The committeemen are all active and wish to render the party every service that could be expected. T. R. Tansies Situation. "Announcement by Roosevelt, who carried this state in the primary elec tion, that he Intends to proceed with the organization of another party and become its candidate for the Presi dency, has only complicated the situa tion. . When the executive committee meets it will undertake to solve a somewhat knotty problem and arrange actively to take part in the approach ing campaign." - The executive committee, which acts In a- sort of advisory capacity to the county committee, is composed of one member from each of the ten wards in the city and representatives from the country districts. The members are: First Wa.rd. Charles Conroy; Second, J. C. Veazie: Third, C. E. Lock wood; Fourth, J. A. Mitchell: Fifth. F. E. Beach; Sixth, F. G. Tilraan; Seventh, W. W.- Cox; Eighth, A. G.

HORSES TO GET BENEFIT Gravel Distribution on Streets Plan Furthered by Association. , Sixty members of the Portland Workhorse Association met Wednes day night at the Commercial Club and made plans for getting the city to pur chase and operate machines distribut ing gravel on wet and slippery streets. The Improvised gravel sprinkler now owned and used by the association proved ' so satisfactory -and practical that the horsemen consider that the city should now take up the work of providing for the safety of work horses. Drivers have complained time and again that their horses fell upon the pavement rendered unsafe by water and grease. Gravel sprinkled intelli gently over such spots will obviate this trouble, say the horse owners. ' Prizes won in the workhorse section of the horse and vehicle parade of the .Rose Festival to the amount of 1335 -were awarded. P. I Johnson, Austen Plnard and A. J. Hieman won $25 prizes; Joseph Seadek and Audrey Balmer, 120 prizes; J. Hague, J. A. Jlead and Audrey Balmer of Oregon City, $15: and Monroe Hilliard, Stephen Van Loon. Meier & Frank.

The cutting of the biggest grain crop ever produced in the state will begin within ten days, according to the lead ing farmers of this section of the state. Reports from every part of this section of Idaho indicate that the crop will be heavy. Despite the late rains of April and May the grain has advanced rap idly and the season on the uplands will be only about a week later than ltst year. Farmers will find it difficult to obtain a sufficient number of har vest hands to harvest the crop this year. Laborers were never so scarce as at present. ' SCENE IN REGISTRATION BOOTH. itH 111 . GET BADGES COLONEL DAVID M. ELKS GOME III AUTO Trio Drives From Chico, Cal. Through Rain and Snow. FOOD COOKED ON ROADSIDE Hotels and Inns Shunned by Lodge Members Notwithstanding Many Changes in Weather Trip Made In Two Weeks. ' In an automobile that bore traces of severe weather and wet roads, three Elks, members of the Chlco lodge. No. 423, arrived from California yesterday at noon. They were C. W. McLennan, J. F. Morehead and J. R. Wood, and they had. traveled every Inch of the way In their car, taking their rest under canvas and cooking their own food. "When we decided on this trip," said J. R. Wood, "we declared that we would not enter a roadhouse or hotel until we reached the Mecca of the Elks for 1912. That solemn -oath we kept in spite of rain and snow, and even though conditions were far from pleas ant at times, in fact most of the way, and even if we did not see the sun until we were within a day's distance of Portland, we have rarely enjoyed anything so much before. Diary Is Written. "We left Chico, which is about 180 miles from San Francisco, at 9 A. M., June 20. Almost as soon as we had started Uncle Pluvius showed that he didn't Intend t& be left . behind, for showers commenced. . 'When we left, the temperature was 106 degrees, and when we crawled out of our tents the following morning it was only 32. Some change, if you please. "Fishing was our chief amusement along the route, and we had fine suc cess on the whole. I kept a diary of our happenings, but most of it would not be of interest to strangers. "The roads were bad for the greater part of the trip," said C. W. McLennan, "but that was due chiefly to the rain. Given a week, or a couple of weeks at the outside, of fine weather and they will nofbe at all bad. In many places Improvement work was going on, chiefly- in the way of cutting down the grades. , High grades were our great est trouble. Block and Tackle Carried. "In some places we had to pull trees out of our way, but we had come pre pared with block and tackle, so that It did not take us so long as it might have done. We met .several leeches who were out there with the special purpose of draining trippers, by put ting obstacles in their way and offer ing to render assistance for money. They got the cold shoulder from us all right, but other people may not be so well prepared as we were.
