ge explained that the United States Gov
ernment would have to be a party to all
Government-aided IirlgaUon schemes in
this state, hence the necessity of having
a bill passed which would meet the re
quirements of the Government officials.
The chief address of the morning as
delivered by Judge J. H. Richards of
Boise, Idaho, on "The Home and Irriga
tion." Mr. Richards said that the noblest
type of manhood and womanhood came
from the home beautiful. Following this
line of thought, Mr. Richards contended
that the pursuit of agriculture and . hor
ticulture as a means of gaining a liveli
hood under proper conditions would pro
duce the best class of citizens, both for
the state and Nation.
Dr. Withy-combe, of the State Agricultu
ral College, delivered an interesting ad
dress on the educated farmer. Speak
ing of the Government Irrigation pro
ject for Malheur County, Mr. Withycombe
said that it bad come to his knowledge
that some of the prominent citizens of
this valley were sacrificing their personal
interests in order to further the Govern
ment Irrigation plans. Following out this
suggestion, the doctor spoke at some
length on co-operation as a factor in irri
gation. ...
At the afternoon session the committee
on organization reported the following of
ficers for the ensuing year:
President. E. M. Brannlck, Portland;
first vice-president. S. A. Lowell, Pendle
ton; second vice-president, F. W. Metcalf,
Arcadia; secretary. A. King Wilson, Port
land; treasurer, A. H. Devers, Portland.
Hon. J. N. Williamson was the chief
speaker at the afternoon. Mr. William
son had to deal with a delicate subject,
and the Opera-House was crowded to its
capacity when he delivered his address
on "Disposition to Be Made of the Range
Lands of the Arid and Semi-Arid Region."
Mr. Williamson spoke with deliberation,
and positlveness. After dealing with the
matter in all Its phases, he said that in
his opinion individual ownership was the
best means of solving the problem, pro
vided the piesent limit of ownership was
removed, taking Into consideration, .loca
tion, condition and value of land outside of
"the irrigated area, each Individual to take
what is necessary to support a family. It
is a question of climatic conditions, alti
tude and water support; an arbitrary rule
will not apply.
Ira Smith read an address prepared by
Senator Mitchell, who was unable to be
present Addresses were delivered during
the afternoon by Attorney-General Craw
ford. President Brannlck, A. King Wilson,
B. H. Perry, government law clerk, and
D. W. Ross, engineer In charge of the
government reclamation service in Idaho.
Mr. Ross said that the irrigation pro
jects now under consideration ' in Idaho
And Oregon If carried out to completion
would support a population of 300,000 peo
ple. The convention voted to meet next year
at Portland.
Before adjourning a vote of thanks was
tendered to the citizens of Ontario for the
courteous and generous manner in which
they had entertained the delegates.
Bishop O'Reilly, who was to have de
livered an address today, did not arrive
until after the convention adjourned on
account of his train being several hours
late. Governor Chamberlain left for home
this afternoon. He received a telegram
from President Myers, just before leav
ing, asking that he request Commissioner
Toung to arrange for sending the fruit
exhibit prepared to the convention to St.
Louis. Men are at work tonight packing
the fruit for shipment.
The delegates will be taken in carriages
tomorrow for a ride through the valley,
ending .with a picnic at Arcadia.
BAD RECORD OF A YOUTH.
Lester Lewis Now in Jail for Horse
Stealing.
OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Lester Lewis, who only recently com
pleted a three years sentence in the state
penitentiary at Salem for burglary, was
received at the County Jail this evening
from Sherwood. He is now charged with
the larceny of a horse and buggy on the
14th lnst. from H. S. Bergman, a farmer
residing near Sherwood. The stolen prop
erty was found in Portland, where the
thief had sold the outfit.
The record of Lewis, who is only about
19 years of age, IS bad. At the age of 6
years he was committed to a reformatory
school in' New Tork State, where he was
detained until he was 17 years old. Soon
after reaching Oregon, Lewis broke Into
the store and postofflce at Wilsonvllle,
and, being convicted, was sentenced to
three years at the Salem penitentiary
The remarkable nerve of the young
criminal was evidenced from the fact that
on the morning following the theft of the
horse and buggy he deliberately drove Into
Oregon City, hitching the horse in the vi
cinity of the Courthouse, where he en
gaged in conversation the jailer, Peter
Nehren, his former keeper at the County
Jail. From Oregon Ciey Lewis Is alleged
to have gone to Portland and sold the
stolen property.
ACTIVE CANVASS IN MARION.
Prominent Republican Speakers- Will
Take the Stump.
SALEM, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) A
short but vigorous campaign Is to be con
ducted by Republican political leaders
next month for the purpose of rolling up
as large a majority as possible for Roose
velt and Fairbanks
So far as local work Is concerned, the
campaign will not open until October 1.
State Committeeman H- D. Patton and
County Chairman Charles A. Murphy are
getting ready to do some effective work
that will help show an Increase in Re
publican strength in Oregon. At the re
quest of State Chairman Frank C. Baker
they have prepared a list of Marlon County
men who will probably take part in the
public speaking and it is the plan to ar
range meetings in all parts of the county
so that the issues of the election may be
fully presented before the voters. Among
the speakers oh the list are:
T. T. Geer, Colonel B. Hofer, Frank
Davey, Walter L, Toozo, Claud Gatch,
Tllmoa Ford, George G. Bingham, John
H. McNary, John W. Reynolds, M. E.
Pogue, H. J. Bigger and Dr. J. N. Smith.
Salem Republicans are very much dis
appointed over the report that Fairbanks
and Dolllver will not speak here and ef
forts are being made to secure a change
in the plans, though with little hope of
success. Mr. Patton has taken the mat
ter up with Chairman Baker and has tried
to enlist Mr. Baker's Influence In behalf
of Salem. At least five-minute address
rom the car platform of the train Is
desired.
County Clerk Rowland opened the reg
istration books today and registered a few
oters. When the first man presented
hlmEelf for registration a question arose
as to the proper procedure when a man
registered in Linn County last spring and
has since 'moved to Marion. An inspec
tion of the law makes it plain that It is
the duty of a voter to cancel his first
registration before offering to register
again, but thero is no provision which
specifies what evidence the second Coun-
ty Clerk shall have that the first registra
tion has been canceled. Apparently the
County Clerk must register the voter the
second time and leave the voter to take
the chance of prosecution If he registers
unlawfully. Mr. Rowland has referred
the matter to the Attorney-General.
PLEASANT TRIP IN ALASKA.
Major Evans Returns Much Pleased
With the North Country.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
Sept. 20. (Special.) Major Robert K.
Evans, Adjutant-General of the Depart
ment of the Columbia, arrived at the
post today from Alaska. He has com
pleted the inspection of Fort Liscum, for
which purpose he was separated from
General Funston's party at Dutch Harbor.
The Major says that Alaska is one of
the finest countries he has ever seen. He
reports a very pleasant trip with good
weather the entire journey through. He
says that the fertility or our irozen
North is manifested by the abundance of
egetable produce that is grown there
during the Bummer.
The Major was especially pleased with
the telegraphic system, whlph he con
siders the pride of Alaska. He reports
the wireless system doing excellent work,
much to the surprise of the people who
live in the vicinity.
He will take charge of his official duties
at once, relieving Judge-Advocate Walter
A. Bethel, who has performed his duties
during his absence.
SPREAD LYE ON APPLES.
Twin Children Are Horribly Burned
at Vancouver.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) As a result of eating lye the twin
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Martin
lay at the point of death for several
hours yesterday and last night at the
family home on the corner of Ninth and I
streets. The poison was taken by the
children just before noon yesterday. They
were In the yard playing and found an
old can which was partially filled with
lye. Apparently the children had spread
this on some apples which they were
eating.
They were fearfully burned and for a
time it was thought that death, would
surely result. From a later report, how
ever, it is learned that they will recover
from their Injuries.

aerea commuted to the Washington

LAW IS FtfUND'AT FAULT
(Continued From First Page.)
refusal. ... No elector shall "be qualified
to vote nor permitted to vote at any such pri
mary nominating election required by this act,
and It shall be unlawful for him to offer to do
so, unices he shall be registered as above re
quired as a member of one of the political
parties choosing' and nominating its candidates
for public office under the provisions of this
act of Buch primary nominating election. It
hall be unlawful for any elector to vote at
any primary nominating election of any po
litical party for any purpose, -whether the same
be held under this law or not. unless he be
duly registered as above required as a member
of each political party.
In this quotation is shown the whole
subject of the contention. At the time
the registration waa held last June the
primary law was not In effect, and for
that reason none of the voters have de
clared their party affiliations. Therefore,
according to all the intents and purposes
of the law, there are no legally regis
tered votera in the state at this time.
. But it is claimed by lawyers who have
been investigating the question that the
provisions applying to the man who has
not registered at all will govern the vot
ing, though such a method would be ex
ceedingly cumbersome, in another part
of the law it is provided that In case a
man had not registered as required by
law, he can, upon making affidavit signed
by six freeholders, be allowed to cast his
DEATH OF MRS.
ballot. Or, in other words, the elector
can swear his vote in before the judges
of election. But while this method would
be possible under the law, It would be In
convenient and tedious, for every vote
cast would have to bo certified to by six
freeholders of the community personally
knowing the voter.
The main stump against which the peo
ple of the state seem to have brought up
Is not, however, the vqtlng power, but
the nominating qualifications of the citi
zen. It is provided m section id oi tne
law that:
No person who is not a qualified elector and
registered member ot a party making lta
nominations under the provisions of this law
shall be qualified to Join In ulgnlng any peti
tion for nomination, or to vote at saia pri
mary nominating election; and no person shall
be qualifled to sign any nominating petition of
anv other rtolltlcal party for tne primary
nominating election than that with which he
is registered as a member.
According to this section, nothing can
be done under present conditions toward
placing xi ticket in the field. There is not
a voter in the state, with the possible
exception of those who have registered in
the past day, who is legally quannea ac
cording to the Jaw to sign a potltion rec
ommending the nomination of a candidate
for office. There is no one quallnea to
put a ticket in the field, wherefore there
can be no ticket, and with no ticket It
will be hard to have an election.
Judtro E. C. Bronaugh, one of- the law
yers who were paid to run over the law
before It was put Into nnai snape, was
asked last evening for his opinion on the
question of the tangle. The Judge had
not given the matter any thought, and
for that reason did not like to be quoted.
He said, however:
I do not think that there is any need for
alarm, for I am of the opinion that the voters
can declare their party affiliations at this
time and within the nest 30 days while the
registration books are open. I have not read
the law for some time, but I am of the opinion
that the books were to be opened at this time
for the purpose of amending any defect In the
registration. I do not see that there could be
any irregularity or any objection to allowing
tho men who have registered previously to de
clare their party beliefs at this time. If that
is done, there will be no trouble at all.
C. E. S. Wood, another of the men who
helped to "frame the law, was of the same
opinion as Judge Bronaugh. He thought
that the registration could be amended
at this time without transgressing the
intent of the law, though he had not had
time to make a careful investigation.
Thomas G. Greene hoped that the regis
tration could be amended in the next 30
days, but he did not know that there
was any authority lor so doing.
"It is a bad tangle, but I trust some
way will be found out of It." said Mr.
Greene. "As it appears now, after a
hasty glance at the question, I do not
think that an election can be held or
persons nominated. It would appear to
me, however, that there could be no ob
jection to allowing the persons who reg
istered in May to add their party affilia
tions to the register while the books are
open. Just as a decree of court is open to
amendment during the session of the
court I do not know that there is any
authority in the law for such action,
but I do not see that it would be objec
tionable." "That's all bosh." said A. L. Mills, one
of the most earnest advocates of the law
when told of the discovery "of the alleged
defects. "The law provides that a voter
may qualify to vote at the primaries by
swearing that he is a member of a cer
tain party, so that nobody can be shut
out. Even if that were not so, the next
Legislature can remove the defect by
passing a law to cover the point, so that
all qualifled persons can vote at the city
election and- the next state election."
Those who fostered the law will be the
first to take up tho question raised and
search for a solution, and If none can be
found, legislative remedy will be sought
In January-
DESPONDENT PIONEER SUICIDES
Once Wealthy Ashland Man TaKes
Carbolic Acid.
ASHLAND, Or., Sept 20. Joseph Rob
inson, an Oregon pioneer of the '50s, com
mitted suicide here this morning by swal
lowing an ounce of carbolic acid. A son,
with whom he lived, found the old pan
on the ground in a barn opposite the
home on C street about 7 o'clock suffer
ing from the poison. He was taken home
and aid summoned, but he died about
10 o'clock In great agony. An almost illeg
ible note was found on his bed, reading as
follows:
"Good-by to all. Tell the undertaker to
bury me on that lot In the Wagner Creek
graveyard. If any one knows where It is:
if not any old place will do. Good-by to
all. You will find the money In my
pocket at the head , of the bed."
Seventy dollars was found in the des
ignated place. Robinson, who had lost
one leg, bad been despondent for some
time, and had rcpe&tedly threatened to
make way with himself.
Deceased was born In Ohio in 1834, and
crossed the plains to the Willamette Val
ley In the '60s, settling later in Jackson
County. He was at one time well-to-do,
but had lost nearly everything. He is sur
vived by three sons and one daughter.
OKEGOH HAS AN ESOPTIS.
It
Is Called Looking Glass, and Its
Candidate Is Inman.
The Esopus of Oregon is Looking Glass.
James, Inman is the Alton B. Parker of
the latest Esopus. He signs his name
"James Inman, D. D. of the New
Thought."
And James Inman, D. D. of the New
Thought, wants to be President of the
United States. If he hasn't looked In the
book to see himself at the famous desk
In the White House, he has at least looked
In the looking glass.
Looking Glass is a hamlet 12 miles west
of Roseburg, Douglas County. James In
man, D. D. of the New Thought, hauls
wood to Roseburg. He was once " a col

Mrs. Amle Lorene Hlnman, the
wife of Professor Charles H. Hln
man, of North Yakima, died at her
home In that city September 10.
She waa born in Dallas, Polk Coun
ty. March 6, 1877. and was the
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Lee, who now reside in Port
land She was educated at the
Wasco Independent Academy, of
The Dalles, entering that Institu
tion from the public schools of Fort

complished musician and It wea
while teaching music at Ellens
burg, "Wash., that she met Profes
sor Hlnman, who was at that time
Superintendent of Schools for Kit
titas County. They were married
at Salem, then the residence of the
bride's parents, October 11, 1800.
Besides the parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Lee, of Portland, a sister.
Miss Althea Lee, of this city, and
two brothers, Lyman M. and Ro

empresses, the companion and counselor
of her Clncinnatus-Hke spouse who leaps
from his wood rick to the entrance of the
halls of state. But now she lives in Look
ing Glass, and Clnclnnatus hauls wood.
Last January Mr. Irynan secured a di
vorce from his former wife, who It seems,
had deserted him, and shortly afterward
he married a young woman of the neigh
borhood. And now he has issued a formal
announcement Of his candidacy for the
Presidency. How much Influence did the
young wife bring to bear to Induce her
husband to step forth from the compara
tive obscurity of Looking Glass Into the
dazzling lime-light that Is turned upon an
aspirant for the Presidency? Is it James
Inman who wants to be, President, or Is
it. -u.io. james. inman wno wants to be
Mrs. President?
Possibly some solution of the problem
will be found in the platform which Mr.
Inman announces he will soon issue.
James Inman has Ivied in Looking Glass
for eight or nine years. He is over 50
years of age, tall and angular. His coun
tenance gives evidence that he has been
a reader and a student His conversation
proves it conclusively, for he is a man
of letters. His various communications
printed In the Roseburg papers were
couched in such abstruse language that
only three men in Douglas County knew
Just what he was talking about. So of
his learning thero could be no doubt.
In Mr. Inman's printed announcement
of his candidacy he drops from his signa
ture me u. u. or the New Thought"
which. It is understood, is the usual ap
pendix to his name. The announcement
reads as follows:
Mr. James Inman. independent candidate for
JE f the UnUed States ve n to
the public via the press and otherwise, that
his promleed platform will be out soon and be
Thl's platform will be a revelation to the po
litical world. Inasmuch as it will be the best
of Its time. That which is the best of lta
time Is ever ahead of Its time, and that which
la ahead of lta time becomes quoted more and
more as time rolls on.
It will be a platform that will- elect its can
didate without the aid or supervision of Wall
street, inasmuch as it is Intended for all the
people, whereas some opposition platforms are
Intended for the Interest of plutocracy. This
platform's candidate Is truly ono of Independ
ence, and la as free to act as is tho wind to
blow or the ocean to move In Its tide, whereas
the old oppositions have their opinions manu
factured for them. "What can they do for the
people, poor soula7 What can they do with
their hands tied by the Pharaohs of "Wall
street before even they are nominated? Yes.
they are bargained with, and must come under
the yoke of plutocracy's rule and be whipped
with cent per cent's greedy lash. And it will
make little difference with the Pharaohs of
Wall street whether Mr. Roosevelt or Mr.
Parker Is elected, so long as they can use
either as a figurehead.
The Independent's platform will be ono for
humanity, and will have merit for Its backing.
We grow In knowledge as we go in time.
Besides offering this announcement to the
press ot the country, a sufficient number of
copies will be printed so that they can be
mailed to prominent men. Including some of
ficers of state, college professors, leading phil
osophers, and a few leading ministers.

FAIR OPENS AT EUGENE
DISPLAY OF LIVESTOCK OF
VERY HIGH ORDER.
Armory Is Thronged In the Evening,
When Visitors View Agricultural
and Horticultural Displays.
EUGENE, Or., Sept. 0. (Special.) The
11th, annual exhibition of the Southern
Oregon District Agricultural Soclely
opened here today with most favorable
prospecte. While the attendance was not
large, it was much better than on the
opening day of any previous year, and
much more Interest was manifested in
the exhibits and races.
At Bangs Park are to be found the stock
exhibits, poultry and agricultural Imple
ments. The races are the leading feature
of the afternoon. The fruit, vegetables,
flowers and fancy goods art display are
arranged in the Armory for the conven
ience of people who wish to attend during
the evening and who find it difficult to go
so far as the park. From the experience
of last year this was found advisable, and
Is proving a great accommodation, both
as to space for display and comfort of
visitors.
The stock exhibits are not quite com
plete, but the late comers will be In place
tomorrow morning. The stock Is all very
fine, and Is pronounced among the finest
ever seen In Oregon. Many varieties of
cattle, sheep, hogs and horses are here.
and all are of a creditably high order of
breeding. The races this afternoon were
better than last year, and patrons of the
turf feel that they get a display of good
sport.
Tho first race waa the 2:30 class, with
five entries, best two In three, and took
three heats to decide. It was won by

HAPPY ENDING OF EIGHT YEARS OF
WEAKNESS AND DESPONDENCY
Mrs. Miller Tells How She Succeeded
In Recovering Lost Interest In
Life Others May Profit.
"For eight years," says Mrs. MolIIe
B. Miller, of Wilmington. O.. "I suf
fered from dizziness and palpitation of
the heart, and after the "birth of my lit
tle girl Ave years ago I remained very
weak. I was nervous, downhearted and
could not sleep. Every month I lost a
full week In prostration that left me
scarcely strength enough to drag my
self around the house. Whenever that
time approached it always filled me
with dread. It often seemed to me that
I would rather die than live.
"One day last Spring a friend of mine
strongly recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and I was
Induced to give them a trial for my
troubles. Before I got through the first
box I experienced great relief. For the
first time In all these years I felt that I
was gaining a little strength. I con
tinued to xlsa them with hopefulness,
and by the time I had taken four boxes
I did not feel like the same woman.
The weakness, the melancholy, the rest
lessness from which I suffered so long
have disappeared, and life Is entirely
different. I am glad that I took them
myself, and I heartily recommend them
to others for what they have done for
me."
When the blood Is impure, or weak,
or scanty, every nerve and muscle and
organ of the body feels the harmful
effect; for the blood goes everywhere
and the vitality of every part depends
upon It. The cure of complicated cases
like that of Mrs. Miller, In which body
and mind both suffer, shows what won
derful results follow the use of the
greatest of blood remedies.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are what
hundreds of women need to change a

able them to get rid of small worries
altogether, to bear heavy burdens easily
and to find daily enjoyment in life.
Anaemia, irregularities, nervous debil
ity and prostration yield promptly to
the Invigorating Influence of these mar

forms of female weakness, but they
