INJUSTICE IS ALLEGED
Acquisition for Dcssio 31". Allen Was
Refused Without Giving Wash
ington Executive Oppor
' tunlty to Be Heard.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. July 12. (Special)
Governor Mead today addressed a warmly-worded
letter to Governor Johnson.,
of Minnesota, In which he reviews the
Minnesota requisition for Ida M. John
son, granted today, and the Washington
requisition for Dessle M. Allen, denied
by Governor Johnson, last April.
Governor Mead sets forth some of the
telegraphic correspondence between the
two Governors in relation to the Allen
matter, from which it appears that Gov
ernor Johnson dishonored the requisition
on the ground that the papers failed to
Include an affidavit showing the perpe
tration of tho crime charged, and be
cause no reason was given for the delay
In making the application. It also ap
pears that Governor Mead's request for
an opportunity to correct the technical
defects was In effect refused by a sum
mary denial of the "requisition. Governor
Moad says in part:
V.'lth tb recital of the record of these two
ca?es. I nubmlt to the candid Judgment of the
people of the two states Interested that the
people of "Washington have a right to com
plain of tho injustice puffcred at your hands.
Owing to the brief time occupied by you in
consideration of this matter and the objec
tions you have urKi. which could have been
easily overcome, I feel that the State of
"Washington wan practically denied a hearing
In our efforts to extradite a fugitive from
Justice in your etate.
I presume the only alternative lift to me
1b to protest against this eort of treatment,
which I shall continue to do whenever requisi
tion papers isnued from this office are i sum
marily denied a hearing, practically refused
and no opportunity Riven to meet your view
of the law in extradition cases.
liEWISTOX BANKERS INVOLVED
Federal Grand Jury Finishes Taking
of Testimony at Boise.
BOISD. Idaho. July 12. (Special.)-The
taking of testimony by the special grand
jury investigating timber frauds closed
today, and It is exacted the Jury will
close up and make report tomorrow. No
Indictments were returned into court to
day, but it Is believed four or Ave will be
voted. From what has "been learned o:
the nature of the testimony, the Govern
ment appears to have been tracing trans
actions with, .which George H. Kester and
F, "W. Kettenbach. the Lewlston bankers,
have been connected.
The cases under consideration by the
grand Jury today are those of residents
of .the vicinity of Asotin, Wash. In at
least four cases it Is alleged, final "proof
was made on timber claims In North
Idaho by Asotin people, who then trans
ferred the claims to Jackson O'Kecfe, of
Asotin, he In turn assigning them to
George H. Kester and F. W. Kettenbach,
prominent bankers of Lewlston.
The Impression that Kester and Ketten
bach -will be Indicted Is based on the
manner In which the jury traced the
deals in their finality to them. The grand
jury heard the last of the testimony in
the pending cases today, closing up all
proceedings that w.cre jeopardized by the
statute of limitation.
It is possible that later on additional
indictments will be returned In cases of
more recent origin. Among the witnesses
today was Jackson O'Kcefe, the alleged
go-between in the Kester-Kettenbach
deals. Others before the grand jury were
Joseph H. Prentice and E. H. Dammorell,
Edgar J. Taylor, of Cloverdale, "Wash.,
and E. Taylor, of Asotin.
J. HAM WOULD GO TO CONGRESS
Seattle Statesman Will Use Chicago
Appointment at Stepping Stone.
, SEATTLE. Wash.. July 12. (Special.)
Seattle friends of James Hamilton Lewis,
appointed general corporation counsel of
Chicago by Mayor Dunne, who have kept
posted on his career In the Windy City,
state that Lewis is really attempting to
force his way Into Congress from a fairly
safe Democratic district In Chicago.
Lewis has always wanted to go back to
the National capital. During the two
ears he was there he was treated to
widespread newspaper notoriety and this
has always been enthusiastically received
by Lewis.
A special dispatch from Chicago today
pays the appointment of Lewis as- cor
poration counsel carries with it the right
to name 33 assistants, ten of whom will
be classed as assistants corporation coun
sel. During the Dunne campaign Lewis made
a number of characteristic speeches for
the Democratic candidate, and -even then
he confided to friends that his purpose
was to seek re-election to Congress from
an Illinois district. The new appoint
ment Is not likely to swerve him from
this determination. The fact that he went
to the Kansas City convention as a soli
tary' boomer of tho Lewis candidacy for
the Vice-Presidency indicates Lewis will
take care of his own political fortunes In
the Chicago 'office.

BIG CROPS IN LINN COUNTY.
Hay, Wheat, Oats and Hops Give
Great Promise
ALBANY, Or.. July 12. (Special.) The
hay orpp of Linn County Is greater this
year than ever before, and thousands of
tons of hay will be shipped away. In ad
dition' to the extra acreage is the yield.
It Is unusually good. Hay Is selling for
$4 and $5 ioose, and $6 and 57 baled low
prices even for the opening market- Hay
ing has ben In progress for some time,
and this week will see the crop cut and
In the cock. Most of It will also be In the
barn or stack ere the end of the week.
Never did wheat In Linn County look
better. Binders will begin moving the
yellow grain this week, much of it being
now fully ripe and- ready for cutting. The
aphis "mentioned" early in the Summer
during the rains have all disappeared,
leaving no mark behind. The output of
the county will not be much larger than
In the past, for the acreage Is not much
larger than usual, but the yield is the
greatest in year.
Threshing will begin the last of July or
the first of, August, on the Fall-sown
grain. Three or four weeks later work
will begin on the Spring grain, which Is
looking fine where sowed early enough,
but that sown late will ripen pretty close
to the ground, making binding difficult.
Oats are looking fine, and will be a
fairly heavy crop. The acreage Is not as
large as In some j-ears, but the yield Is
excellent.
One of the bumper crops of the county
will be hops. There Is every Indication of
a full crop better than last year. No
damage has been done by the lice, the hot
weather coming in time to put an end to
the ravages of the little pest. The few
yards that were Infested wlfh lice have
been sprayed, and the crop Is not affected
In the least. If we have warm weather
until picking season Is over, the crop will
be a full one. A prominent Albany hop
grower today estimated the output ot
Linn County at about 150.000 bales.

WIPE OUT OLD LINES
Factions to Disappear in Re
publican Party Affairs.
BOSSES OUT OF FASHION
Roosevelt and Antl-Rooscvelt "Will
Probably Be the "War Cries on
Nntlonal Issues out Not In
Local Elections.
SALEM. Or.. July 12 Special.)
That there will be a new line-up In
Republican party affairs, or possibly
an almost complete obliteration of fac
tional lines, is generally believed and
frequently asserted by men who take
an Interest in politics. That the old
line of cleavage Mitchell and antl
Mitchell has already, or must soon,
disappear. Is acknowledged by all ex
cept those few who refuse to believe tho
testimony In the land-fraud cases or
to accept the verdict of the jury.
Though it is admitted new lines must
be found, if there are to be any lines
at all. no one seems to have any defi
nite Idea of what the new alignment
will be. There seems to be no figure In
Oregon politics around which shattered
forces may rally no name of an Ore
gon political organizer that may bo
adopted as a factional designation.
There are those who declare that
under the direct primary law the main
tenance of factional lines such as have
existed In the past will be Impossible.
They assert that the people never have
favored factionalism, but under the old
convention system, where one crowd
secured control and named tho ticket,
there -as nothing to do but stand with
one faction or the other. As a rule,
the faction that controlled the conven
tion named the ticket from top to bot
tom, and the yellow dog of the pre
vailing crowd was preferred over the
best man in the defeated faction.
It is asserted that this Is no longer
possible, for the people will pick the
best men In the primaries, and there
will be no pre tiling faction. No one
or two men will be able to name all the
candidates. No man can build up a
political machine, because undor the
direct primary no man can "deliver the
goods," and therefore can make no
promises" that will carry weight. Any
man who wishes to do so may be a
candidate and have a fair chanco of
winning, regardless of alliances form
ed or not formed with political man
ipulators. The new method of nomi
nating candidates. It Is said by some
men who have thought upon the mat
ter, will obliterate all factional lines.
But there are those who take a dif
ferent view. .A prominent man sug
gested a few .days ago that although
the old lines have been broken, new
ones must and will be formed. The
new lines, lie says, will be drawn upon
Ideas and not men upon principles
and not plunder. He finds some indi
cation of this in the discussion that
has arisen as a result of the land-fraud
trials. He finds that there is one
group of men who took offense at the
vigor with which the Administration
prosecuted the land-fraud cases, and
ha.v been assailing the Administration
ever since the prosecution began.
This group of men Insisted that the
prosecutions should have been left In
nSe hands of John. Hall and Mr. Hency
should not havo been Imported from
California to take charge of the case.
Angered by the Administration's
course In that particular. they havo
fouiVi fault with nearly everything that
the Administration at Washington un
dertakes to do. They oppose the
Koosrivelt Idea of tariff revision, take
tllngs at his Panama Canal work and
criticise nearly all his Important acts.
There is another group of men who
are bellevars In Roosevelt, his policies
and his manner of accomplishing d
slred ends. Out of thhi situation. It Is
asserted, a now1 ilnc-up will be found,
with those men wto. are opposed to
Roosevoltlan idoas on ojte side and
those who support Roosevdltjan -ideas,
on the other. It Is predicted, there
fore, that In the next campaign the
candidates for the United States Sen
ate and for Congress will be Roose
velt or anti-Roosevelt men, and the
people will line up In support of one
faction or the other.
So far as the election of a United
States Senator brings National policies
into the Legislature, the new line-up
as indicated would have Its influence
In the selection of candidates for the
Legislature. In the primaries there
would be Republicans In favor of supporting-
this Administration and others
opposed to it. but after the ticket had
been named all would be plain Repub
licans and support the nominees of the
party.
This theory of a new line-up would
vary according to the issues. In the
nomination of county candidates there
would be local Issues which would form
the dividing line. Retrenchment, pub
lic road Improvement, salaries of coun
ty officers, courthouse building and tho
other questions that come up inevery
county, would form the Issues to be
fought out in the primaries. The ques
tion would not be whether the candi
date for County Judge or Commissioner
Is a friend of one political manipulator
or another, but whether he stands for
good roads or bad ones, reduction of
county expenses or extravagance. In
crease of tax burdens or decrease.
Each county would have Its own local
Issues.
In the nomination of a Governor, ac
cording to this theory, the line-up
would ajrtln be upon Ideas and not
upon previous factional affiliations. It
Is averred that when the aspirants for
the Gubernatorial nomination go Into
the campaign they will have to declare
the principles of state government for
which they stand, as for example, the
question of appropriations, railroad
regulation, franchise taxes and other
subjects which come to the attention
of the Governor because of his veto
power.
Candidates for Legislative nomina
tions would find themselves confronted
with similar questions, and before a
man could be nominated he would find
it necessary to tell what he thinks of
amending the local option law. creat
ing a new county, enactment of fran
chise tax laws, repeal of the direct pri
mary law. abrogation of the Initiative
and referendum and Normal School ap
propriations. IiAUTII IS TO HANG TODAY.

Portland Men After Apparently
Worthless Islets.
ASTQRIA. Or.. July 12. (Special.) W.
S. Chapman, of Portland, has made a

extreme low tides, and have always been
considered absolutely worthless, except to

set In. I got over It. but was helpless for
work In both body and mind and It seemed
I couldn't live. I gained slowly- In physi
cal strength, but my mind kept weak and
I had a terrible pain In the back of my
head, with constant twitching of the eyes.
The doctor told me my brain was affected,
which I have no doubt was the case.
"I couldn't sleep, some nights only got
three or four hours sleep and all the time
felt so tired and worn out; my mind would
be so confused sometimes I thought I
would go Insane. Two doctors said my
condition showed the first symptoms of
insanity, and as medicine did not help me
I concluded to quit doctoring and try
change of diet instead, bo that Is how I
began to use Grape-Nuts.
"From the very first I began to gain In
flesh on the Grape-Nuts I was so sur
prised, but the most wonderful gain was
in my brain, which became stronger and
the pain so much less, and In a short time
Instead of the terrible distress In my
head and the awful Insomnia my brain Is
now clear and strong, sleep sound and
wake up refreshed and vigorous. I want
every brain workers who Is run down In
brain or body to give Grape-Nuts a, trial."

Now for the reason.
The brain and nerve centers In this case
had been depleted by disease and the soft
gray filling partly used up. This cannot
be replaced by medicine. That is abso
lutely Impossible. It can only be replaced
by food containing' Phosphate of Potash
and Albumen. That Is the only way on
earth. But If the body will not properly
digest the food containing these elements,
the patient remains ill and probably gets
worse.
The mission of Grape-Nuts is plain. It
contains the elements Nature demands for
rebuilding and refilling the delicate nerve
centers and brain centers and In a predl
gested condition so that the weakest will
mako use of and digest, the food. It Is a
positive and dependable agent of surpris
ing character.

7 TJal PLEASURE
Rheumatism does more than any other dis
ease to rob life of pleasure and comfort. It is so painful and far-reaching in
its effects on the system that those afflicted with it find themselves utterly
unable to enjoy bodily comfort or any of the pleasures of life. Some are

intervals of freedom, during me, but all to no avail. My knee and elbow joints
