MANY COUNTIES IN LINE
Sentiment Is General That Platform
Embodies Substantial Principles
That Will Be Approved,
by Majority.
SALfi.M. Or, July JO. (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.

"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

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

pathological department of the Oregon
Agricultural Collage, accompanied by
Assistant Bailey, was here Wednesday
to Investigate the strawberry blight
that has appeared in the Maple Lane
district. 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 result is that the foliage
turns black and dies before the matur
ity of the fruit. The college men went
to Canby Thursday to make an Investi
gation of the watermelon wilt, reported
by Mr. Cummlngs, a grower of that
place.

ST JOHNS, Or., July 30. (Special.)
An organisation to be known as the
Progressive Association of St. Johns
was formed lsst night at a meeting
held in the City Hall to discuss the
local water situation and to devise
means to remsdy the same. While the
notice of the meeting called attention
to the question of municipal-, owner
ship, this subject was only casually re
ferred to. 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. The
proposition of the water company to
lay new mains, charging for the same
at the rate of 10 cents per foot. Is op
posed by many taxpayers. 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

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.

NEW TRAINING SCHOOL AIM
Washington Authorities Would Sep
arate Girls and Boys.
OLYMPIA. Wash., July 30. (Special.)
For a number of years a movement
has been on foot to have the girls
who are committed to tho State Train
ingSchool, at Chehalls, placed In a
school separate from the .school for th
boys.
Seattle men have offered to provide a
location and buildings, but the state is
asked to pay the cost of the matrons
and teachers and tha sustenance of the
inmates. There is some question as to
whether the letral difficulties will pre
vent the state from accepting the offer
and to determine this. Governor M. E.
Hay has written to W. V. Tanner. Attorney-General,
asking him for his
opinion.
If the offer can be fVcepted, it is
likely that the girls will be removed
from Chehalls, where they are now
kept in the same institution with the
boys. The new school will be situated
near Seattle.
