Bryan follow his trail about the coun try and reply to his speeches had been abandoned. The Colonel said he was amused at the decision of his Democratic oppo nents that the progressive ticket was not a menace to them and that It would not be worth while to have Mr. Bryan spend his time in this way. "Isn't that perfectly lovely," he exclaimed. Opponents to Be Spared. It is Colonel Roosevelt's purpose to make a positive fight for the pro gressive platform. In the opening , speeches of his campaign he plans to lay chief emphasis upon what the pro gressive party proposes to do rather than to assail his opponents.

POLLY FOOLS INSPECTOR Joe Singer Has Eiperience !n Car and Hasn't Recovered Yet. Anyone speaking to Additional Mar ket inspector Joe Stnger within the nest few weeks will be regarded with a stern and questioning eye. The cause of the searching inquiry in the atti tude of the Inspector is this: Singer was going home on a street car, when he heard across the street car aisle someone saying: "Hello." Singer is polite, if nothing else, and he doffed his hat gravely in the general direction of the other side of the street car and said politely: "Good evening." . . "Who is your friend?" asked a pas . senger who knew Singer, as he saw the Additional Market Inspector raising: his hat. "I don't know." replied Singer. "It is someone who knows me. There are such a lot of people that know me in this town." ' Just then. ."hello" came, the voice again, and Singer saw that It was a parrot t In a cage In possession of a lady across the aisle. He subsided amid a roar of laughter from the passengers on the car. VANCOUVER WELL PLEASED Outlook for Abundant Crops Was Never Better, Say Farmers. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) From all parts of the county come reports of heavy and abundant crops, except prunes, which are light in most places. The rain this year, being abundant and at the proper time when crops needed it, and the good growing weather, were no doubt the two chief factors in making the farmers here prosperous. Prices will be good, and while har vest bands are not too plentiful. It is believed that the crops can be taken rare of all right. This success of the farmers and fruitgrowers will be re flected in the tri-county fair to be held here from September 9 to 15, by the Clark County Fair Association. The three counties. Clark, Cowllts and Ska mania, have Joined in holding a dis trict fair, this being the first year of .the arrangements, but. from present in dications, this year's fair will be at tended by 50,000 persons.

Samuel Hill, president af the Home Telephone and Telegraphompany of Portland, arrived at the Arlington Club Sunday noon in - hisc automobile on his return trip from Los Angeles. Mr. Hill' lnft here M days ago, shipping his car to The Dalles and going down east of the mountains through Wasco. Shanlko. Prlneville. Bend. La Pine, Fre mont. Paisley and Lakeview to the California line. Everywhere en route he found the people of Eastern Oregon thoroughly alive to the Importance of improving the highways. From Lakeview he went through to Alturas, California, and thence down the Pitt River to the Sac ramento Valley. Speaking of the scenic beauties of the country, Mr. Hill said this trip sur passed any thing that he had even seen In his numerous travels. In the three days spent in attending the Pacific Highway Association meet ing at the St. Francis Hotel at San Francisco, Mr. Hill was the guest of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce, the Panama-Pacific Exposition committee, under the presidency of J. Brisbane Walker, and attended the Harvard Club dinner given In honor of President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot, who landed on his return from a trip around the world. In comparison with conditions as they were 21 years ago, Mr. Hill said Cali fornia is going through a revolution. The utilization of waterpower for the transmission of electricity and putting water on the land is changing the whole face of the Sacramento Valley. Two important things were accom plished at the Pacific Highway Asso ciation meeting: one was the raising of the annual dues to $5.00 per annum with the intention of getting a mem- WILSON DECLARES FOR LOCAL OPTION Candidate Says, However, That Liquor Question Is Moral, Not Political, Issue.

Governor Wilson indirectly took a hand Sunday in In the political situation In Maine. ner. Jealous by birthright offspring of jealous stock, she carried the doubt and suspicion along into her married life. But she was absolutely fajr and square, until the constant meetings and unexplained conversations between her apparently devoted husband and a wo man friend brought to a climax all the jealous hates of a generation of Jin nys. Unfortunately, however, for Jinny she doesn't know that her husband is a grand, noble, disinterested friend of the woman. So Bhe storms and pouts and coaxes and forgives and whines and sobs through three scenes until the wonderful, big strong husband says his reason is cracked and rushes out, slamming the door. Then poor little Jinny, who has read his letter of ap parent unfaithfulness turns on all the gas and lies down on the best parlor rug to expire. The husband, reconsid ering, hurries back in time to' resusci tate her. Miss Countiss has not given us a daintier, prettier piece of acting since her arrival. As Jinny, her flashes of temper are fascinating, her sauclness Is endearing. Miss Countiss evidences with intensely dramatic strength her abilities as an emotional actress. Sidney Ayres is the husband, John Austin, and-right splendidly does he play the role. Physically, Mr. Ayres Is suited perfectly to the part, and Jin ny's references to his good looks and that she Just knows all other women like him, too. fall meaningly for the character. Mr. Ayres plays easily and with pleasant assurance.

Returning Mr. Hill came up the west side of the mountains, and says that he would not advise anyone to make the trip, as the road is dangerous in the extreme and well-nigh Impassable. There are, however, canyons which can be improved by convict labor, and when finished the road will be one or great scenic beauty. F IA FOIXETTE EXPECTED TO AS SAIL ROOSEVELT.

Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, is putting the finishing touches to his auto biography, which will be issued in book form in about a month.

Close friends of the Wisconsin Sen ator expect some intimate details of the original union and subsequent break between the La Follette and Roosevelt forces, heretofore only vaguely hinted at. which in their full ness will be likely to create a lively sensation. Some of his friends feel that the Sen ator Is riding rough shod for a head long tumble into the Ananias Club, but this Is not troubling him. That Colo nel Roosevelt will be brought into the story In a personal manner Is assured. Some intimate views regarding Gifford Pinchot and other leaders who turned from La Follette to Roosevelt also will be presented.

In response to numerous letters from Democratic leaders in Maine, asking Governor Wilson for his attitude on the liquor question, which Is a prominent issue in the campaign. Governor Wilson has declared in favor of local option and against having the question made an issue between political parties. The Governor's views originally were com municated to Rev. Thomas B. Shannon of Newark, N. J., as bearing on the Issue in New Jersey, but now Governor Wilson is sending throughout Maine a copy of the same letter. Party Action Opposed. "I am in favor of local option," he says. "I am a thorough believer in local self-government and believe that every self-governing community which constituted a social unit should have the right to control the matter of the regulation or of the withholding of licenses. "But when the questions Involved are social and moral, they are not sus ceptible of being made parts of a party programme. Whenever they have been made the subject matter of party contests they -have cut the lines of party organization and party action athwart, to the utter confusion of po litical action in every other field. They have thrown every other question, however important. Into the back ground and have made constructive party action Impossible for long years together. ' Question Essentially Moral. "So far as I am myself concerned, therefore, I can never consent to have the question of local option made an issue between political parties in this state. My judgment is very clear in this matter. I do not believe that party programmes of the highest con sequence to the political life of the state and of the Nation ought to be thrust on one side and hopelessly em barrassed for long periods together by making a political issue of a great question which Is essentially non-political, non-partisan, moral and social In its nature."

Naturally Its a wo man's play. Every woman in the audi ence loved Miss Countiss' portrayal of poor abused Jinny Austin. The late Clyde Fitch, who under stands women better, probably than any other creator of stage femininity has drawn the complexities of a jeal ous wife most convincingly in Jinny. Cathrlne Couness steps In where Fitch has ended and gives Jinny to us Just as convincingly and with all the ex planations of these same complexities that Fitch discovered. "The Girl With the Green Eyes" Isn't a preachment no matter how often It has been called so. If JInnys will view their - husbands' unkindnesses through green colored glasses then no preachment can help matters.

Irwin Sunk to Bot tom of San Francisco Bay, Bnt Will Be Raised Today. SAN FRANCISCOT Aug. 12. With a fZ0 000 cargo on board a sound vessel was sunk in the bay of San Francisco Sunday. The ship wlU later be raised, but the cargo will be lost. It was the old brig William G. Ir win that was scuttled by order of the owners. For more than a month the packet has been lying in the harbor with her cargo of lime smoldering and all efforts to smother the flames have been in vain. There was danger that the flames would eat their way through the vessel's frame, and as a last resort it was decided to sink the craft. Holes were cut into the hull on both sides yesterday and in a short time the brig had settled to the bottom of the bay. It Is believed that her hull was not much damaged by the fire that has been smoldering for so long st time. The work of raising the brig probably will begin tomorrow. The boat is owned by the Tacoma & Roche Harbor Limo Company. Blanket Serves for Clothes. Wrapped in a blanket.
