HIS HEALTH IS IMPROVING Advisers Say Reports of Illnos Slay Hurt Candldaey Doctors Want Him to Stay In California During; Hie Campaign. PA I.EM. Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.) An effort Is now being made by friends of Governor Frank W. Benson in this city to Induce the executive to return to Sa lem at least a week before the primaries. It Is tioped he can be convinced that he should return to Salem by September 19 at the latest. A letter has been directed to the Governor, urging that he come, and an answer Is expected within two or three days. According to Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner. who returned to the city from Portland this morning, the Governor 1 exceedingly anxious to come, but his physician re fuses to allow It. contending that the ex citement and the heat of the campaign would be injurious to blm. But friends of the Governor here declare that state ments which are being sent broadcast as to his poor condition of health are made evidently for political reasons in an at tempt to Injure his candidacy for elec tion to the office of Secrete ry of State, they consider It highly advisable that he come from San Francisco as soon as he can pospiblv do so. "The operation referred to in a Port land paper la evening Is the identical operation of which I spoke several weeks obo when -4 returned from San Fran cisco." stated Dr. Stelner. "It was re ported in some of the newspapers at that time. He has practically recovered from the effects of It and while he will be dis figured, the operation hns permanently checked the lupus and there Is every rea son to believe the Governor will complete ly recover. I have suggested in a letter to him tht be return to Oregon as soon as possible before the primaries and ex pect an answer shortly. The whole mat ter now rests in the hands of his physi cian."

TILLAMOOK BEACH. Sept. 10. (Special.) It is really quite surprising to listen to the comments of visitors on the exceptional qualities of this beach. Tourists, old-time residents in the Northwest, newcomers and everybody, of the hundreds who have been camp ing here this season, all unite in one grand chorus of pralee in behalf of this part of the Oregon coast. So vara 1 people from Portland who have been camping here this Summer have visited nearly all of the seaside resorts of the Pacific mean in n.i country. Without a dissenting voice they state that Tillamook Beach, lying Just south of the middle of Garibaldi Beach, nine miles long, possesses fea tures thev had long since given up as being possible on the coast of Oregon. "Wherever I have been on these Western beaches." said one Eastern gentleman, "I have found every one of them to be cold nl! the time, with just n little warm sun In the middle of the day. The winds have been terrific at the other places. The urf has been so rough and cold that It was a danger to the health to even attempt to take a dip. But, here, oh so different. We have the delightful balm of the north west wind, after Its force has been broken bv Neah-kah-nle Mountain to the north. Hence, there have been no w inds. Tlje sun has shone nearly every dav. peeping out after an occasional earlv morning fog. The rough water has been entirely obviated by the rocks to the north, forming a natural break water for this beach. I may be mis taken, but If the water is not warmer here, the air Is so much warmer that It oe'ems that the water Is also." The concensus of opinion on every hand, from everybody. Is that Tilla mook Beach Is the really Ideal Oregon Summer coast. C. F. Fields Co.. In the Board of Trade building, Portland, are representatives of this property this year. Literature will be furnisher! on reouest. by Mr. Blair. He has other driers to handle the remainder of his crop. Another prune drier burned was that of J. M. French, at Ellsworth.
