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."

SUGAR FACTORY PLANNED
San FTancisco Capital Likely to In-
Test at Klamath' Falls.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Sept 15.
(Special.) A beet sugar factory ' with
a capacity of 600 tons for each 24
hours' run is among the probabilities
for Klamath Falls.
R. E. Grotkass, who represents San
Francisco capitalists, has spent 10ml
time here, looking over the records of
the United States Reclamation office,
as to raising sugar beets in tMs val
ley. One farmer near this city had a
return of more than 20 tons an acre.
. The average In Germany is about 15
tons and in this country about ten.
The factory would employ about 300
men.
. Mr. Grotkass askB the farmers of this
section to enter into contract for 4000
tons of beets, saying that the company
would undertake to raise the remainder
of the tonnage necessary if compelled
to do so.
It Is probable that the factory. If
built will be in or near Klamath Falls.
The price offered for the beets Is $5
a ton.

COURT IS RELIED UPON
TAFT MEN IX CALTFORXIA DIS
COURAGE PETTTIOXS.
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.

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

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

A LESSON FROM OUR ANCESTORS
In the. good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they depended upon
the roots and herbs of the field to re
lieve disease.
Years have passed by, but science
has never been able to improve upon
the medicinal effects of these same
roots and herbs which are Nature's
cure for disease.
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com

female ills, had its origin in this way
and today tons of roots and herbs are
consumed annually in making it
