I found about seven people out of ten tire re were Bull Moose. This was certainly good news to me. I bad the pleasure of meeting one of tbe Chicago speakers at the hotel and be told me lie was an Illinois com mittee man and that the Republican tate central committee consented the state to iRoosevelt or Wilson. Of course foe thought Wilson would win but if what I have seen of Illinois is a barometer then Illinois will go for Roosevelt by nearly two to one. The weather here has been warm nearly a warm as La Grande was In Aug ust. Business along the line Is good. Jobbers and manufacturers have about all they can do and wages are aa good here as In Oregon. This was a surprise to me. The price of meat is nearly double here to what it Is In the west. A good steak Is worth 3ut a pound here. Crops' are very laige here and I find prices on the down- MONEY TO LOAN on farm lands in Union, Wallowa and Baker counties. ward and buyers In my lino (apple) are very elow to take bold unless the priceis way down. The fruit crop lms b'en a bumper one till over the country this year and the apples that are selling through this section of the country are nil put up In barrel and local stulf not so good. Our culls all more or loss wormy, small and big Just as they run from the tree Tnvy sell for about $1.73 to f'iM a barrel of three bushels. ( And they want fancy and extra fancy Oregon apples at about these prices. North Yakima is storing 50 car loads Just west of here. Buyers and jobbers know this and refuse to buy their winter supply. Hoping .fou are adding more Bull Moose to the list, I remain your friend, ' ' J. P. SIMONSON. Tbe Dalles, Ore., October 2.", To the Editor Clyde B. Altcheson is a candidate for Railroad Commission er. In 1910, an act was before Cm Ore gon legislature seeking to regulate stock shipments over the railroad so as to prevent unnecessary loss to stock shippers resulting therefrom, bv requiring the railroad company to make an average time of 15 miles per hour unless unavoidably detained. The friends of the bill were willing to accept a reduction to 12 miles per hour if 15 miles per hour was thought too great. The Railroad Commission, of which Mr Clyde .B. Altcheson wag then a member, fought tlw bill before the legislature and went before the com mittee and fought it there, standing by the side of the attorneys for the railroad to do so, and making the! same arguments that the railroad at torneys made. The real objection to the bill, no doubt, was that it simplified the rights of th shipper, and made him Independent of the railroad commis sion, thereby Axing his rights, and lessening the jurisdiction and power of the railroad commission. As a cattle shipper who backed the the bill, I submit it to you, voters, that a man who Is railroad commiss ioner and supports the railroads against the shipper and tries to pre vent the passage of a good law In tbe Interests of the shipper, In order to arrogate a little more power to him self, ought not to bo re-elected to the Important office.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known o t'.e medical fraternity. Catarrh be ing a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Cn- tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de stroying the foundation of the disease, ul'dlng up the constitution and asslst and giving the patient strength by ing nature in doing its work.
