LOYALTY TO PART oatisn H1LLIS DEMANDS LOYAL COMMITTEE Idaho Solon Will Not Quit Re publicans Oust Me . if You Will, He Says. NOT TO EMBARRASS PARTY Junior Senator of Gem Stale De- clares He Will Choose Another Course if Leaders Doubt His Feajty to Republicanism. BOISE. Idaho, Sept 15. (Special.) The Republican State Central Commit' tee will have to read Senator Borah out of the party If It believes that h is not a Republican. This Is the ultimatum Idaho's junior Senator laid squarely before that body ' tonight when he . gave his keynote ' speech of the campaign at Meridan. Senator Borah went further In his ; declaration and in plain and unmis . takable language asserted he would re lease every legislative candidate for - the Legislature In the State of Idaho who 1b pledged to vote for him for United States Senator, permitting them to go before the electors to settle the ' issue of whether or not they shall vote to return him to that high office. Attitude Clearly Defined, ' "We nave a Republican organization , in this state," declared the Senater, re ferring to the attacks made upon him as to his Republicanism. "It Is com ' posed of elected members from every , county In the state. I presume they . represent the views and know the wishes of their constituents. I put It up to them. We will settle It once and for alL "If they think I am not a Republican and this organization will meet and so declare, I will decline my candidacy as I am now nominated and submit the question in another way. I will get on their ticket and test it In another way. I do not want to embarrass the ticket. If my views of what constitutes Re' publlcanlsm In this campaign are not satisfactory to this organisation. I will unhesitatingly accept their verdict and thereafter choose my course as to how I shall reach the people and we will find out who constitutes the Republi can party In this state." Honorable Way Sugra-ested. "As to the candidates for the Legis lature. If there are any of them who feel that they cannot conscientiously vote for me as Senator, there is a manly and honorable way to be released from their obligation to do so. "I think that the candidate for the Legislature who will openly and clearly state to the people before the election that -he did not Intend to vote for me should In all fairness be released from doing so."

Contention I That Nominees of Re publican Conventions Must Go on Ballot as- Republicans. SAN FRANCISCO, Se.pt 15. Acting on the advice of the Republican Na tional committee, the Taft state cam paign committee will discourage the rculatlon of petitions to put Taft electors on the ballot for the Novem ber election. This action will be taken because the Taft men allege that the situation is identical with that in Kan sas, . where the Taft adherents have appealed to the Federal courts, and in hich case a decision is to be given on October 5. They further contend that where state conventions are held as "Re publican" conventions, the electors hosen at that convention must be placed on the ballot in tbe column designated by the Republican National committee. It at the state convention to be held Sacramento on September 24, which ill be in control of the Roosevelt fac tion, attempts are made either to pledge the electors that will be chosen Roosevelt, or, failing In that to pre. vent the pledging of the electoral can didates to Taft the Taft supporters ill resort to the Federal courts to checkmate the plans of the Roosevelt adherents.

Corval- 11s, Sept. 15. (Special.) Another fine i1 wjtoiWiy4YTlAw'A" feORAB. P.rcheron filly, Tafeta 6458S, has Just been purchased by the animal hus bandry department of the Oregon Ag ricultural College for class Instruction and for work on the stock farm. She was sired by Tafia 34911 and was raised by J. B. Stump, of Monmouth, from his mare. Highland Girl 43504. "The college has for some time been advocating, among the farmers of Ore gon .the purchase of good brood mares for raising colts for work on the farm and for sale," said Dr. James Withy- combe, director of the experiment sta tlon and head of the work in animal husbandry, this morning. "Mr. Stump's experience Is an excellent example of what may be done In this line. "Five years ago he traded 26 An gora goats, valued at 600. for the Percheron mare. Highland Girl 43504, and from her he has raised over $4000 worth of colts In the five years. He has sold $3350 worth, and has two left worth at least J1000. The first colt sold for 11600, another for $750 and two fillies were sold to the college for $1000. He considers that each was worth $750, so that he discounted tbe pair $500 to the college. : This last filly the col lege paid $500 for and she is by all odds a better animal than one sold re cently for $1200. She Is an extremely handsome black, 3 years old. The one we bought two years ago was . gray. Monmouth Bell 58948. She Is now 4 years old and has developed into a Very handsome mare. She was sired by Othen 4134S." BIG RESERVOIR BUILDING HEW PLANT AT ASTORIA WILL HOLD 100,000,000 GALLONS. Main Wall Will Be 74 Feet High, 190 Feet Long, Width at Base 54 Feet and at Top 111-2 Feet. ASTORIA, Or.. Sept. 15. (Specirfl.) The largest reservoir in the state, stor ing water for domestic purposes, is now under construction 12 miles from this city, on Bear Creek. The dam will hold 100,000,000 gallons of water, covering a surface area of 22 acres. The cost will be approxi mately $90,000 and the work, which was begun last April, will be finished probably by the end or the year. The completion of the dam will solve the problem that has confronted water users of Astoria in the dry Summer months of past years. Filled to capacity it would take 40 days at the present rate of consump tion to empty it Early in the year -a bond issue of $80,000 was voted for the purpose. The excavation and clearing work was fin ished the middle of last month, and immediately the actual construction of the dam was begun. The contract re quires that the task be completed December 1, but a scarcity of labor and unlooked-for delays In excavation have served to set the work back 30 days. About 65 men are employed. This is somewhat short of the number that were employed the earlier part of the Summer. More men are ex pected to arrive soon. During construction' the' flow is di verted by a flume about 400 feet long which conducts the water from Bear Creek into the 18-inch main that sup plies the city. The surplus Is emptied into the creek below the dam through a 48-inch pipe. The main wair is to be concrete, 74 feet high and 190 feet long. It will have a thickness of 54 feet at its base and of 11H feet at the top. Engineer Bergsvlk says the dam will be the highest in the state.

POSITION IS LOGICAL ONE Roosevelt Members From New Jer sey and Ohio Will Resign, but Others Will Insist on Re taining Their Hold. BY HARRY J. BROWN. OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 15. The third party press Is greatly disturbed over the fact that Republican National Chairman HUles has called a special meeting of that committee for September 18 to unseat five or six members who are not sup porting and do not intend to support President Taft, but are working for the election of Colonel Roosevelt. "The Taft leaders are badly scared," says the third party press, and points to this meeting as Justifying tbe asser tion. "The Republican party is com pletely disorganised," it continues. Chairman HUles, in calling a meet ing of the National committee with a view to ridding the committee of mem bers who are no longer in the ne- publican party. Is doing the only log ical and sane thing he could do as chairman, especially as the National committee was empowered by the last Republican National convention to do this very thing, if necessity should arise. National Committee Has Power. Under the present party organiza tion, the National committee. In sense. Is entrusted with the manage ment of the party s affairs, ana par ticularly its Presidential campaign. Under ordinary circumstances, no man would want or would hold a place on the committee if he were out of har mony with that party and had in real ity Joined an opposition party. No Democrat would think of sitting on the Republican National committee, nor would any Republican who had declared his purpose to Join the Dem ocratic party and work for the election of the Democratic candidate for Presi dent The Roosevelt third party this year is as distinct from the Republi can party as is the Democratic party, and there is no more Justification for third party men sitting on the Repub lican National committee than there would be for so many Democrats to do so. Chairman Hilles, having the prop erly conferred authority, intends to weed out of the National committee all men who belong in the opposition party and have their places filled by Republicans who believe in the Repub lican platform and the Republican candidate, and who are working" and will continue to work to bring about the re-election of President Taft New Jersey- Member Will Resign. That the action of Mr. Hilles is Jus tified Is easily demonstrated. For in stance, he will question the right of Borden D. Whiting, of New Jersey, to continue as National committeeman, in view of the fact that Mr. Whiting is an open, supporter of Colonel Roose-. velt It is due Mr. Whiting to say he has declined to act as committeeman since he Joined the Roosevelt party, but his resignation is to be accepted. Richmond Pearson, of North Carolina, holds the office of Republican Nation al committeeman from that state, yet Mr. Pearson was a delegate to the Roosevelt Progressive convention at Chicago and is one of the Roosevelt leaders in that state. Walter F. Brown, Republican National commit teeman from Ohio, is the Roosevelt leader In the President's own state. He also has resigned, and his resignation will be accepted. But Pearson, to gether with G. C. Priestly, of Okla homa, and William S. Edwards, of West Virginia, insists upon retaining the Republican National committee manship, while working for the Colo nel. These cases will be disposed of after full hearing, and if any other members of the National committee are found working against the inter ests of the President, or if their hearts Yon can't have the earth, but the landscape is yours by right of sight If defective eyesight de nies you perfect enjoyment of the things to be seen, let us supply the right glasses.
