(Special.) 1 With letters from leading citizens, county chairmen and prominent people pouring In from all over the state, the Llncoln-Taft Republican League Is meeting with not only continued fa vor, but with a favor that- Is more than gratifying to those who are In terested In the League's success. National Committeeman Ralph E. Williams, of Dallas, who Is considered a far-sighted politician, writes to tha League: "I heartily Indorse the move you are making to reorganize the Re publican party In Oregon and will glv it my hearty support." On the other hand, the League is receiving the hearty support of Ben W. Olcott, Sec retary of State. George C. Brownell. Mayor of Oregon City, and political factor of Clackamas County, is clr-' culaUng the League's literature. Indorsement Is General. A Republican writes from Lincoln County Indorsing the League, saying he has voted for every Republican ticket from Fremont down. Tod Cam eron, who has served Jackson County many times in the Legislature, gives it a hearty boost. Veterans like S. B. Kakln. vice-president of th First Na tional Bank of Eugene, give hearty In dorsement of the League. Th County Chairman of Coos County writes: "W have heretofore had no definite prin ciples for which we were fighting. As a party we have had nothing to offer the people of this state for some years. "Your campaign circular embodies the Idea for which I have been long contending that we must early take steps to promulgate a party platform and when this Is done our candi dates will have something to stand upon when they enter the field. The party has not been behind the can didates and the candidates have not recognized allegiance to the party. No party has a right to demand the sup port of those asserting or professing allegiance to that party, unless the party is pledged to well defined and definite principles. The public can not be expected to guess what a po litical party stands for. and without a well-defined platform we cannot hope fbr even partial success. Co-Operatlon Is Pledgedi Darwin Brlstow. of Lane County with 41 ureclnct committeemen. Is In line for the Llncoln-Taft Republican League. "I am heartily- in accord with your movement to organize a Llncoln Taft League." he writes. "I will be glad to co-operate with you in any work that can be done to this end and trust that you will meet with un bounded success-" The strongest Re publican counties In the state are heartily In support of the progressive movement for a better organization on progressive lines. The Lincoln-Taft League has been Indorsed in Wheeler. Morrow, Gilliam. Hood River and Sherman counties, and these counties hav perfected or ganizations. The League has plans completed to supply every Pcnct and county committeeman, about 1200 In all. who constitute the official rep resentatives of th Republican party In Oregon, with progressive Repub lican literature. This means the bring ing about of a greater unity of pur pose under the operations of the law and not to build up a machine or a faction. Reciprocity Brings Confidence. The success of President Taft in putting through reciprocity has made all Republicans feel that there Is a reasonable line of progress within the party that does not brand a Repub lican aa of the type that is happiest when fighting for progressive policies outside th party organization. The Llncoln-Taft League stands for nrogresslve policies, as undertaken by a progressive n"""' ---'; ;- tlon. and Its platform embodies the following: The Csnadlsn reciprocity asreement; th ceneral arbitration programme which now embraces Great Britain. France. Germany and the Netherlands, with Japan apparently ready to respond to overtures: th. know -edse of conditions In Mexico which prompt ed the taklns of a strong position In order to avert a serious situation between that country and our.: the surceMful prosecu tion of many trusts; the friendly and .uc cuful Intervention In South Amerlcs. to orevent a collision between two nation.; th. correction of corrupt practice, at the Port of New York, and In seneral: the re habilitation of the customs service; the expedition of work on the Panama anal: the wlpins out of the poetal deficit: the mens, to Conitreu In .upport of conserva tion measures; appointments to the Supreme Court; the establishment of a postal savings bank ytem: th. successful advocacy of a bill which brins. the railroad, more nearly under oovermental control: the reorganisa tion of the Navy; th. earnest flsht of the Preeident to have t'ongres. revise the tariff downward.

Seattle, Wash, WALLACE HAS FIRE Three Buildings Burned and Roomers Barely Escape. ESTIMATED LOSS $35,000 Incendiaries Believed to Be Respon sible for Blaze Razed Houses ITsed Principally for Saloons and Lodging-Houses. "WALLACE. Idaho, July 30. (Spe cial.) Wallace's second large fire In 80 hours wiped out a downtown busi ness corner at Sixth and Cedar streets this morning, leveling three large frame structures and left a loss of $35,000. The buildings destroyed were largely used for saloon and lodging house purposes. Yesterday and today's Are is believed by many to be of in cendiary origin. Roomers on the second and third floors of the Bimetallic where the blaze was first discovered, shortly be fore 5 o'clook were forced to escape by the Are escapes and ladders and saved themselves with difficulty. Most of them fled in their night clothes, many left their valuables behind. One unidentified man, who Jumped, is said to have sustained slight injuries. Fed by the large stock of liquor com prising hundreds of gallons of beer and whisky, the flames burned with a rapidity that made salvage an Impossi bility. Practically nothing was taken out in either of the three buildings. Firemen say this is the third recent fire that has broken out In the Bi metallic. Both others were extinguished with chemicals. Avenue A was threatened by tne flames, and the buildings suffered wa ter losses. The burned buildings were owned as follows: Exchange. Mrs. Lizsie Arment, Spokane, and George Loop, Portland; Klondike. Northcult es tate. Oakland. Cal.; Bimetallic, Robert Bradley. , X L. Lieb owned the Exchange bar and with a Mr. Lafors owned the lodging-house furniture above. Peter J. Limacher owned the Klondike bar and lodging-house fixtures.

FISHERMEN ARE JUBILANT Big Catches of Salmon Reported by Gillnetters in Lower Harbor. ASTORIA. Or.. July JO. (Special ) Reports from below are that the catch of salmon In the lower harbor Thursday night was one of the best during th present season. Some of the gillnetters this morning delivered as high as 35 and 40 fish to the boat, while a large number of them secured In the neigh borhood of 20 each. The salmon taken are of fine quality and average large In six. The In creased catch was not unexpected, as the tides are now favorable and the spurt in the run of steelheads. that occurred a few days ago. was certain, according to all prophets, to be fol lowed by an Increased number of big. chinooks. Within the last few years some of th largest catches have been made In August and near the end of the sea son. This belief Is warranted by the fact that while there have not been what i termed a "run" since the sea son opened on May 1. the supply of fish has been steady without any of the long tedious lulls that have been so common In recent years. Experts Study Plant Pest. OREGON CITY. Or.. July 30. (Spe cial ) H. S.

The two experts were escort ed by A. J. Lewis, county fruit inspec tor and visited Mr. Lewis' farm and the gardens of C W. Swallow, Ryal. Downer and Kuppenbender. Samples of the plants were taken to Corvallis to be tested. Professor Jackson believes the roots of the plants have become dis eased.

The officers chosen for the new ' association are: Chairman, G. L. Perrlne; secretary, A. W. Markle; treas urer, Charles Bredeson. In the discus sion which occupied part of the session the opinion was expressed that the rates for water are too high.

At the next meeting the advisability of the town s acquiring the water works will be taken up. SLATE CREEK AUTO TERROR Stream Where Cars Often Got StuA , to Be Bridged. GRANTS PASS, Or., July 30. (Spe cial.) A heavy steel bridge will span Slate Creek in the public road between Grants Pass and Crescent City. An or der was let yesterday by the County Court for the material, which will ar rive within the next few days. Slate Creek has always had a bad reputation among auto drivers. It is wide and rocky, and frequently the un initiated driver, spurting to get across, would get caught with "dead" engine in mid-stream, where he would have to remain until some farmer came along and helped him and his machine out.
