Washington, Sept.' 14. Siamese belles are about to adopt the attractive American habit of chewing gum. says Consul General Hansen, vho repre- I sents the United States at angnoK, ! Siam. Betel chewing has besn universal among' the Siamese, especially among womankind. Impressed by the higher culture of western civilization th,e dames and the men are to a consider able extent giving up the betel cuds. As a substitute many others, who are bound to continue the gleaning .'that comes from a rythmic movement of the Jaws, are adopting American gum. Hansen figures that In time chew ing gum will be a special feature in the American exports to Siam. Since 8ndent tines the c'ef diver sion of the worshippers of the white elephant, in the line of chewing, has been the mastication of a wad com posed of the green, leaf of the betel pepper, smeered with red lime, togeth er with tobacco, catechu and the areca nut. So great has been the extant of i the habit that Slam has been unable ! supply the deficiency, Imported over i 5,000,000 pounds, valued at $97,724, from India, Singapore and Java. by the county courts and the elimlna- Disputed Names to Be Corrected. ' Washington, Sept. 13. Within a few weeks he United States geog raphic board, composed of officials In various departments of the govern ment, will hold Its semi-annual meet ing to determine upon the correct names of various geographical points where differences of opinion existed. The board Is assisted In its work by j valous subsidiary boards located In dicerent parts of the United States and its possessions which forward to the Washington headquarters all the data they can obtain as to the names in ! dispute. One of the most Important ! subsidiary boards 4s that maintained Un the Philippines, where' more than I the ordlna ryconfuBions as to proper ! names exists. It is largely with the data now en route from the Isla.nd3 that the coming meeting will act upon. Last spring the board adopted a large number of names which It had decided 'should be applied to various streams, lakeB and. portages along the Canadian border, from Lake of the wnriH in Minnesota, eastward. These names were decided upon as the re suit of meetings held In conjunction with a similar board of Canada. How ever, there are still a few of these names which have not been acted upon and these will be considered at me board's next meeting. . " ; , Another matter of dispute to be set tied Is the proper name of a range of mountains In Eastern Oregon midway between the Cascades and the Rockies. The. range Is now known as Powder River range, Wallowa range and Com ucopla mountains. A great amount of data on this dispute has been received and is now awaiting final considera tion. : , . HUGE CROWDS GO TO ROUNDUP i THREE COACHES CRAMMED WITH . LA GfKANDE PEOPLE. All Points Bctweu Baker and Grande Fill Two Coaches. La Three coaches crammed full of hap py sightseers were taken to Pendleton from La Grand and branch ' line points this morning on the first spe cial train to be run from Eastern Oregon to the Pendleton Roundup. The La Grand delegation far outnum bered all those who came from Union, JIalnes, North Powder and Baker, for the train was made up of only two coaches. Anxious to get away, the three coaches set aside for La Grande vera loaded long before the special arrled here at 8 o'clock. In addition to those going by train there were something like two dozen automobile loads. trophe, yet tha hoodoo which hung over the crew for several hours was finally broken and the good train wound Its way down the canyons without further trouble. At Joseph, 13 people got on ttoa train on that clear mnrnlntr nf tha 1.1th nt Santam.

Running at slow ' speed the train proceeded with Its uncanny load toward Wal lowa where 18 boarded the train and the grtef was Over. It certainly had the crew buffaloed for a time and all threatened mutiny. 1,000 Employes Transferred. New York, Sept. 14.

Should It be done and the emergency clause attached the grangers will be defeated In their opposition to It, but after a careful analysis of conditions Mr. Huffman is firmly convinced that there will be no special session. In case, however, that ' the legislature does meet in special session and the emergency clause Is attached the in itiative will be resorted to in the con struction of a new law embodying the points which the grangers favor name ly, the location of the permanent roads tion of the paid commission Referring to tb3 stormy session in Portland yesterday the Portland Tele-; gram remarks; ! "I am growing tired of this farmer 1 club which la eternally being tfeld over up. I, for one, am ready to go ahead, prepare the. best legislation we know . how, and say 'damn the farmer club!' If the people don't want what a ma- : Jorlty of us think is best, let thm throw it out." . - ' . ! This was the defy given during the morning session of the road commis ion at the Commercial dub, by Dr. A. C. Smith, In reply to the following warning uttered by A. L Mason, one of the prominent members of the Ore gon State grange, and supposed to be speaking grange sentiment: . "The farmers of W. state are not asleep. They are going to meet this; issue, and they will meet Upright, We are making history here today, and making it fast. Let the people of the counties locate their roads where and when they want." ' ; Close upon Dr. Smith's heated reply to the statement which Is assumed to voice the sentiments of the grange, J. H. Albert, the veteran banker, farmer and rpad enthusiast of Marlon county, satd: .;' ..-..-- "I do not want the gentlemen over there (Indicating Messrs, Spence, Ma son and Shaw, all members of the grange), 'to think that they represent all the farmers. I represent Marlon county. I do not represent banl.s or any others as a class. ; I represent more farmers. in Marlon county than Mr.' Mason does In Hood River. Re presenting all of Marlon county, farm ers as well as others, I resent the au thority claimed by Mr. Masch to rep resent the farmers. This is a casvj where we must work for our state as a whole first and for our county next, and for all classes In state and coun ty." w .'.' This debate Was precipitated while determining whether maintenance of roads erected by sate aid should be left with the state or county authori ties. The bill reported by a majority of the legislative committee of seven required the state to keep maintenance whereas Judge L. R. Webster suggest ed that maintenance be left with the counties. While the issue was minor In Its scope It served as the breaking point for a tense . situation. C, E. Spence, grand master of the grange and one member of the legislative committee named last evening by the chairman, A. C. Smith, had Just filed a minority report, in which he pleaded for but two legislative proposals at this time. One of these measures which he urged was a modified county bond ing act, which gave to the "electors of districts and counties the sole power of fixing the amount and duration of bonds to he issued. All features of Mr. Spence s substitute bill .for county bonding were a determined effort to leave the power of Incurring debts and the details of locating the roads with the people. Careful provision was made for securing road delegates, hold Ing special and regular elections and the work was required to radiate from a market center. .The other bill which Mr. Spenoe urged provides for a state engineer, the expense of who office shaU be not to exceed, $10,000 annually, and whose authority shall be advisory in harmonizing and perfecting types of roads in the various counties. No pro vision is made for state aid or for state roads. Four measures were reported by the majority of the legislative committee, as against Mr. Spence's minority re port. These provide first for a state highway department and a highway commissioner, who has broader pow ers than the state engineer suggested' by Mr. Spenee. Second, the majority suggests a bill providing for the rais ing of revenue for state-aid rdads. from licenses and other sources of that kind. Third, the majority submits a bill providing for procedure In Initiat ing state-aid roads, and defining where the same may be located. The fourth and las( measure offered as a legisla tive bill by the majority of the com mitter povides for county bonding. b-.t leaves the powers of placing the road and mpnv ether elements of con struct Ion detail with the county court. Mr. Sporcc, In defending his minor ity recommendations, said that the fate of good Toads legislation would be Jeopardized by t-"'ng further than he suggests at this t'rr e. There was too much of a utifgejt'on of working for hiRhways, as distinguished from good county roads. ' The f,overnor"s commission will Pay By Chec!
