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-

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

culls all more or loss wormy, small

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, '

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.

The readers of this paper will be
..teased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
'jecn ut.le to cure In all Its stage3, and
tlnt is Catarrh. 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. The
proprietors have so much faith In its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi
