though many. If not all the i-Rnilirtntrs.
for Pn"sld-nt of the Sonnte or Sjvakcr of
the ilniinei niMy rot be aware of the fact,
yet tliolr campaigns for election come
within the regulation of the oorrupt
practice act adopteil ly the people last
June.
Section 1" of the act spwlfiVnlly pro
T4s that the temi "public office" Khali
applv to the presil!nr office of either
hramh of the I.plslHtiire. Such candi
lafs would not. however, be bounJ by
section H of the act. limiting campaign
expenditures, for that section applies only
to a candidate "who has received the
nomination to a public oftice." But they
are apparently subject to the provisions
f.f section 19 of the act. which forbids,
ilircctly or indirectly promises of ap
pointment to any position of honor, trust
or emolument.
I'mler this regulation It will be dan
gerous for aspirant for presiding offices
to promise committee chairmanships, by
means of which these contests have fre
quently been decided In the past.
They are also bound to the terms of
section 2s, which prohibits treating, with
the aope of Influencing votes, and hy sec
tion 17. which makes it unlawful to be
come a candidate for the purpose of de
feating another candidate and not with a
bona tide Intention to obtain the office.
The section relating to promises of ap
pointment Is apparently the one that ap
plies most directly to the contest for the
Speakership and the Presidency of the
Senate.
COPPER MINES TO RESUME
British Columbia FrojM-rtles Feel
Effect of Advance in Price.
VAXrniTER, Ft. C. Nov. 17. Spe
cial.) With the price of copper rang
ing around 14 cents per pound, and
possibilities of 1 cents before the end
of March, holders of mining proper
ties from Vancouver north as far as
Whitehorse. Including those on the
Alaskan coast, are making arrange
ments to start up again. There has
been a year of practical Idleness, en
forced by the low price of copper.
Already one property, the Copper
King, of Whitehorse. has been shipping
for a week and It was learned today
that the Britannia on Howe Sound.
20 miles north of Vancouver, will start
up with a large force of men. The
t'rofton smelter will be blown In to
handle the Britannia ore. . It Is ex
pected that by April 1 1000 men -will
be given employment at the Britannia
and at the smelter at Crofton.
In Whitehorse. the Copper King will
remain n shipper for an Indefinite
period. The property Is one on which
development work has been done on a
large scale. There are now BOO tons
of ore on the dump and the capacity
of the property Is In the vicinity of
.10 tons per day. The ore shipped to
the Tacoma smelter has averaged
from li to 20 per cent copper. Other
mines In the Whitehorse camp are ex
pected to be In operation by the end
of March.
In the event of the continued rtse of
copper and the opening of new min
ing properties at Whitehorse. the spur
of the White Tass & Yukon Railway,
seven miles in length, which was com
menced last year, will be completed,
so that direct shipments cap be made
during the coming season.

TRIED TO MEET OBJECTIONS
Apple Fair Manager Says Scoring
Points Are Practically as Desired.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Nov. 27. (Special.)
"We have done everything possible to
pacify tiie Rood River applegrowers,
that they might make exhibits at the
National Apple Show," said Manager 11.
J. Neely, of the National Apple Show.
Two days ago we received a telegram
from them stating that they would only
make an exhibit if we would change
the scoring rules to correspond with
those of the United States Pomological
Society, and give them the privilege of
selecting their own space. It was abso
lutely Impossible to do either of these
at this late hour, and asnde from that,
our scoring rules are practically the
same as those employed by the Porno
logical Society, and when we formu
lated them we submlttted them to the
Hood River orchardlsts for their com
ments. Thev said that they were all
right in every way.
"Several weeks ago the Hood River
people raised the objection to the sys
tem of Judging, they understanding that
the prizes were to be awarded By popu
lar vote, which would be unfavorable
for their exhibits. I went to Hood River
and explained to them that the Judges
were to be from the Pomological Bu
reau at Washington, D. C ' and when
they learned this they again promised
to make a large exhibit.
"We will probably be unable to do any
thing with the last objection which they
have raised, as we Jiave already allotted.
considerable of the space, and as for
changing the scoring rules, we would
have to consult every exhibitor before
this would be possible."
YAKIMA TO MARK EXHIBIT
Will Send Several Cars of Fruit and
1000 Visitors.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 27.
(Special.) This city expects to send
several carloads of fruit and 1000 peo
ple In a special train to Spokane to the
National Apple Show there. l attima
citizens have begun to recognize that
there is no rivalry between the fruit
growing districts of the Northwest, but
that the interests of all are Identical.
To this end. the tendency here now Is
toward uniting with all movements of
this state. Oregon or Idaho in display
ing and advertising the products of the
Pacific Northwest.
The motto of the fruitmen is that of
Schley at Santiago: 'There Is glory
enough for all," and they believe that
when the Fast learns of the Coast there
will be business enough for all.

HITS AT SPECIAL AGENTS
Senator Borah Says Their Work In
jures Many an Honest Settler.
B013R. Idaho. Nov. 2T. Snecial.) In
an address delivered in this city Wednes
day, at a luncheon given by the Boise
Commercial Club, Senator Borah severely
criticised the Government reclamation
service for the alleged hounding on the
heels of honest settlers who are en
deavoring to establish homes on irrigated
lands in the southern part of this state.
He also made some valuable recommends
tions for changing the laws governing
homestead entries, one of which Is to
reduce the time required to live on home
stead land from five to three years and
the other to give the honest settler more
time in which to make his payments.
Senator Borah, who was repeatedly
cheered during his remarks, said:
"I am in entire harmony with the Gov
ernment in its effort to detect and punish
the wrongdoer, but I believe that when a
special agent, irresponsible financially and
generally morally, goes round and in
discriminated ties up bona tide settlers.
he should be made responsible In one way
at least.' There is another matter which
ought to be remedied. It Is a system
which has been growing up for a long
time. That is the system of prying out.
hunting down, embarrassing and annoy
ing honest and bona fide set
tiers because the special inspector is
too ignorant or too careless .to dis
criminate between the settler who does
wrong and who does well.
"I would like to see the law so amended
as to make it what it was Intended to
he. a poor man's law. a law that would
assist the man of limited means to secure
a home."

of Venezuela, will go straight to l'aris,
where he will enter a hospital in the Rue

with serious stomach troubles. Friends of
the President say that he is suffering
from a tumor of the stomach, compli

Reports have reached Bordeaux to the
effect that because diplomatic relations
between France and Venezuela have been
broken off, Castro 'will not be allowed to
land. No confirmation of these reports
is obtainable in official or maritime cir
cles. There has been a precedent for
such action within the past 20 years in
the case of another President of a South
American Republic, who desired to visit
France privately while there was trouble
between France and his country. How
