CHICAGO, Oct.. 28. A dispatch
received today by The Tribuue from
lleyena, Ark., nays that the congress-
men and Henators in Taffs party
have told Rpenkor Cannon that if he
ia again a candidute for the speak

conference wax held Inst night and it
was decided that the only hope for
Cannon lie in the coming of Taft to
his aid, uh lie camo to the aid of Aid
rich.
Uncle Joo Iiiih denied today in

of which the speaker hns full knowl

lo Kiiy, on the cvo of the next con
gressional campaign, ho will an
nounce his retirement from public

him in order that tho control of the
Iwiiikii innv bo retained in the
hands of the republicans.
In the middle went tho opposition
to the new tariff law if) centering on
dm Hiieiiker's head.
By republicans of'nll classes the
speaker is regarded as an incubus,
out of dnto and lucking touch with

, Ho is apt to (jot into tho trouble
even in his own storonghold of Illi

whero tho presidential fleet stopped

indorsement of tho bond issue, hith

it was evident his conversion is more

RUSSIAN THUGS USE
BOMBS FOR
GUNS
ODESSA, Oct. 28. Bomb throw
ing hnd a wonderful revival in Rus
sit recently. There were 26 success
ful or attempted ontrnges within the
czar's European dominions nnd sev
oral others in Siberia during Scptem
her, and tho October figures promise
to bo oven larger.
The situation is especially serious
from, tho fact that terrorist efforts
to inform everyone concerning the
use of explosives have armed the
criminal classes with nmplo ability
to manufacture their own bombs.
Outlaws almost invariably go pro
vided with them, finding them much
moro serviceable than revolvers in
stopping or scattering police pursuit.
The authorities aro exerting them
selves to tho utmost to suppress tho
unauthorized possession of explo
sives, but with largo number of ex
ports secretly producing their own,
thoso efforts are producing small re
sults. M. W. Uneer of Portland is in
specting somo of the Roguo orchards
and may invest.
BUSINESS
ARE GUESTS OE
JOHN R. ALLEN
Taken Out Over the Line of the Pa
cific & Eastern as Far
as It Is Com
pleted. HEAVIEST GRADE WILL BE
ONE AND A HALF PERCENT
Greatest Handicap Now Suffered Is
Lack of Laborers With Which
to Rush the Work.
A number of bunkers and business
men were1 guests of President John R.
Allen of the Pacific & Eastern on
Thursday in an' excursion over the
railroad as far as completed. In the
party were W, I. Vawtcr, W. M. Crow-
ell, P. KJ Deuel, John Porter and
Frank C. Amy. -
"We saw enough to convince the
most skeptical that rapid progress is
being made in extending the rail'
road," said Mr. Vawter. The pres
ent roadbed is being ballasted and
new camps made by the contractors
beyond the graded rights of way,
which extend for five miles beyond
Eagle Point."
"There can be little doubt in the
minds or airy wno nave Deen over me
work bnt ntat Medford is shortly to
have a railroad," said Judge Crow
ell on his return. "A steam shovel
is digging cobblestone ballast at Ta
ble Roek station, which is rapidly
making the trnck fit for winter trav
el. New tics are replacing the old
and telegrnph poles are being placed
along the right of way. At the pres
ent terminnl is a large pile of rails
for extension."
According to Chief Engineer Gerig,
tho steepest grade on the lino when
completed will be one nnd a half per
cent. The heaviest cut will be ;0
feet deep in solid rock some ten miles
bevond Eacle Point. The track will
be bnllnsted sufficiently for winter
use in another month. The greatest
hnndicnp suffered now is shortage of
men. Although the company is will
ing to purchase all the ties from
Butte Fnlls mills, the latter have been
unable to supply them, forcing the
importation of Eugene nnd other lum
ber. EUGENE SEEKS ALBANY'S
EXPERIMENTAL STATION
EUGENE, Or., Oct. 28. Efforts

for that purpose While Albany is

tion, it is snid there is a desire to

TO REGULATE SMOKE
KESWICK, Cal.. Oct. 28. The
news that the Mountain Copper com
pany is arranging to erect new stacks
at its Martinez plant to minimize the
smoke nuisance, coming at a time
when the company is preparing to re

indicntes thnt the pioneer smelter
company is falling in line with the
Mnni'moth copper people in the mat
ter of protecting tho farmers and
fruit men ngaiust damage done by
the smelter fumes.
At Martinez the company is pre
paring to erect four new stacks to
handle tho smoke that is now being
eared for by one 200-foot stack. At
tho top of the new stacks there will
be appliances for diluting the acid
gases that are supposed to do dam
age. It is believed here that as soon as
the Keswick plant is remodolod and
in operation the same devices will be
installed and that all danger from
the smoke and acids will be eliminated.
