LISTER MAKES FINAL TRY Ignoring His Democratic Title, He Announces He Is "Progressive," and Resorts to Sophistry in Last Effort to Win. . TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 31. (Special.) Judge McCredie. Republican candidate for Congress from the Second Congres sional district, has closed his campaign and is home in Vancouver awaiting the result of the vote, which will be cast on Tuesday. Until the last week, the campaign has been void of ginger or personalities, and it was left to the Ljster crowd to resort to sophistry and mud-slinging. Unable to attack Judge McCredie's pri vate character they have resorted to spnding out posters urging the voters not to vote for McCredie because, they say. his election would be illegal and be cause he had pledged the Oregon dele gation that he would work with them in securing large appropriations for im provement of the Columbia Kiver. The Democratic literature says also to elect the Vancouver jurist would only mean another election and a heavy expense to the taxpayers. This sort of an attack upon the Republican nominee has not met with much success, especially in the Southwest. Lister Outdfes Chamberlain. While the Republicans are claiming the election for Juttge McCredie, the vote is going to be extremely light and if 50 per cent of the vote is cast the cam paign managers will be well satisfied. Joseph T. Mitchell, chairman of the Pierce County Republican Central Com mittee, gave out tonight that in his opinion that Pierce County would give Judge McCredie a 5000 majority. Reports received at McCredie's headquarters from counties outside of Pierce all indicate that McCredie will be elected, but be yond saying the vote would be light, no predictions as to the majority is being made. Ulster is the Democratic candidate, but in r.one of his literature or In any of the speeches he has made during the last wek. has he proclaimed himself as a Democrat. He has gone Senator Cham berlain's nonpartisan dodge one better and proclaims that he is a -Progressive," whatever that may mean. Yet, in spite of all the subterfuge, there are no claims of a victory on Tuesday made from the IJster camp. Some of his most stalwart leaders gave up hope over a week ago, and others admit, when cornered, that he has not one chance in Ave of elec tion. Wagers on McCredie Not Taken. What the "Progressive" base their slim hopes upon is the apathy which has characterized the campaign throughout. They are hoping the so-called silent vote will fall- their way, yet here in Tacoma those who like to wager on an election have made Judge McCredie a 16-to-l and a 15-to-l favorite. There has been one wager of flow) to KiOO that Judge Mc Credie will carry every county in the. district, and the bet has been posted at a cigar store for a week without a taker. There were rumors on the street early in the week that some one had offered to bet J25.000 to oOOO that McCredie would be elected. None of this money was taken either. Chairman Mitchell is confident that in spite of the talk about a light vote, he will be able to get out a large vote in and around Tacoma. He has employed between 20 and 30 carriages and several automobiles and they will be used in taking people to the polls. Light Vote Is Expected. It is difficult to give anything Uke an estimate of the vote that will be cast on Tuesday,' saia win u. jacrtao, win has been looking after Judge McCredie's campaign, "for reports from every coun ty in "the Second district say that the registration has been extremely light. Yet when the county chairmen have made this report, they have all predicted Judge McCredie's election. It has been Impossible to get the figures of the regis tration and for that reason it would be rather dangerous to make any predic tion other than that the Vancouver Jurist wiil be elected. If it is a nice day the vote in the country districts will be much larger than if the weather is bad. Prac tically all of the vote that will be cast will depend upon the work of the party leaders. "I look for Judge McCredie to poll a very large vote in all of the Columbia River counties, and especially in the counties in which the registration has been large, owing to the local option fight. There may be a short falling off In Lewis County, but in spite of this I predict McCredie will carry every county. Here in Pierce County and especially in Tacoma. where Lister has a personal following, he may cut down the Judge's majority, but it will cut no ngure in the general result" TRAIN MANGLES FARMER Victim Caught as He Runs Down Track to Board Cars.

ROSE REFUSES CHALLENGE Milwaukee Mayor Will Not Debate With Senator Cotterill. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 31. Spe cial.) Donald McSlaster. president of the Clark County Local Option League, today challenged David S. Rose. Mayor of Milwaukee, to debate with State Sen ator Cotterill. of Seattle, on the ques tion of temperance. The question of license or no license will be settled here next Tuesday when a special election will be held. Mayor Rose spoke in the auditorium last evening- to a crowded house, and is to lecture Sunday and Monday even ings. He will speak on the "Religious and Moral Phase of the Liquor Ques tion." Sunday evening, and on "The Remedy" Monday evening. In the challenge It was suggested that .Senator Cotterill and Mayor Rose speak in either the tabernacle or the auditorium Sunday evening. -so that the voters could hear both sides of the question. In his reply Mayor Rose said: "If Senator Cotterill and myself were ap pointed to speak only upon one even ing, and both upon the same evening, there would be some foundation for the action you have taken. "Under the circumstances I feel that I am justified in the conclusion that you are not acting in good faith and that you are moved by some ulterior motive other than the one yon have stated, for asking me to divide my time with Senator Cotterill and I respect fully decline to become a party to your scheme." STUDENTS TAKE REVENGE Storm Candy-Store Because Propri etor Tattled." BELLI NGHAM. Wash.. Oct. 31. (Spe cial.)

TWO ROADS "RUSH WORK Engineer Brandon Has Over 2000 Men-Busy Grading-Right of Way and Oregon Trunk Is Mak ing Equal Progress. BY R. G. CALLVERT. GR.SS VALLEY. Or., Oct. 31. (Staff Correspondence.) The building of two railroads into Central Oregon by way of the Deschutes River is attrL-ting hun dreds of investors and homeseekers into that section of the state. Dally, the trains parsing up the Colum bia & Southern carry cars loaded with passengers either deatined for the rail way contractors' camps or for the in terior towns and localities which will be tributary to the new railroads. From Shaniko. where ' the rails end and the stage line at present begins, come, reports that the hotels are night ly turning away many persons seeking accommodations. The principal rail objective points of the many laborers on the way to the camps are Grass Valley and Shaniko. In both towns, small frame buildings long vacant and dilapidated, have been re paired and converted into restaurants and lunch counters that cater to the, rail road workmen. Freight Congests Railroad. The Columbia & Southern is congested with freight traffic, this condition being helped along by the stiff grades on the road which make the running of heavy trains impossible. Camp construction equipment is going into the country by the special train load. One special freight train Friday brought in a car load of horses, several, cars of lumber, flatcars loaded with -dump carts and other cars carrying a great variety of stuff needed in railway construction. In addition to Gras& Valley and Shaniko, Moro also furnishes a traffic gateway to the Deschutes canyon. From these rail points it is a long wagon haul to the camps, and the worst feature is furnished by tne precipitous grades from the brink to the bottom of the canyon, the drop averaging about 2000 feet. The Harriman line has 45 construction camps spread along the right of way for 107 miles, while the Oregon Trunk line Is establishing approximately the same number as that of Its rival which was earlier in the Held. Warehouses Are Bulging. This point is the construction head quarters for the Harriman road, and con struction camp equipment and supplies fill several warehouses and are scattered over the railway yards. A few days ago a steamShovel was unloaded here and is being assembled. It will be taken out over a wagon road about 12 miles to the brink of the canyon and then lowered down a new wagon road that has been built in Macks canyon. The big machine must be -taken down 20 per cent grades and over the roughest kind of roads. This Is the third 6leamshovel to be put on the work by the Harriman con tractors, all three working north of the Horseshoe Bend tunnel. The most recent timekeeper's report to Construction En gineer Brandon show 2134 men employed In the contractors' camps and 610 horses at work. There are also 17 engineering parties at work in the field with a total force of 'i54 men. From Grass Valley. Twohy Bros., the Harriman contractors, now reach the canyon by two routes, one of which is the road down Macks Canyon and the other the earlier road over which the Twohy Bros.' forces and Porter Bros., the rival contractors, nearly came to blows last Summer at the wagon road entrance to the Gurtz ranch. Rivals Cse Same Road. The Hill road construction headquarters are maintained at The Dalles and that road has now been located on the west side of the river for a distance up the canyon from thev mouth of about 73 miles. It then crosses over and there the only remaining conflict between the two lines exists for a distance of 12 miles. The Harriman road is located entirely on the east bank of the river. All conflict in the Horseshoe Bend dis trict is at an end, but Porter Bros, are still using the wagon road over which the war started in the Summer. The camp established after a spectacular journey with four-horse freighting teams at midnight down the canyon road last August Is still maintained, but the Porter Brcs." men are working on the opposite side of the river, reaching the grade by ferry. As between the rival roads the dispute over the route across the Gurtz ranch seems to be at an end. It is under stood that Porter 'Bros, have let their option on the Gurtz ajid Baker ranches lapse, but the ranchers have had an illustration of how greatly the Harriman contractors need that route to the can yon and are now said to be demanding large sums for a wagon road right of way across their property. Hospital Has Eleven Patients. - Incidental to the establishment of head quarters here the Harriman road has equipped a modern emergency hospital on the second floor of one of the brick business buildings. Three physicians are in charge and 11 men are now In the hospital. The hospital has a bright, airy ward with IS cots. There is an immacu late and -complete surgery and also a laboratory- From this point physicians, chests of medicine, bandages and the like for use in emergencies are prepared and sent out to all the camps. Travelers by rail to this point and along the .main line of the O. R. & X. get their only view of construction work at the mouth of the Deschutes. There the main line crosses the river and on the east side of the Deschutes may be seen the completed grade and rails of the Harriman road extending up the canyon for some distance. On the west side, high above the river, the Hill con tractors may be seen cutting a gash along the eteep and bare canyon wall. Tlie Trunk Line is cutting a tunnel through a promontory and the north portal Is visible from the train. Many trainloads of construction ma terial and equipment are piled up on the Harriman side of the river where large camps have been established. Counterfeiter Is Sentenced. MOSCOW, Idaho, Oct. 31.
