SIAMESE TAKE TO GUM.
Belles of Lonely Inland Adopt Ameri
can Habit.
. 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

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. : , .

Three coaches crammed full of hap

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

arrled here at 8 o'clock.
In addition to those going by train
there were something like two dozen
automobile loads.

over the crew for several hours was

the crew buffaloed for a time and all

VITAL WARFARE OVER BILL

session of the legislature to pass the
good roads bill will not materialize.
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

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. '
