i
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 20.
(Special.) In spite of the plea of John
P. Hartman. president of the Washing
ton Good Roads Association, that the
convention which assembled in North
Taklma this morning be free from poli
tics, an undercurrent of political Issues
tras noticeable throughout the discus
sion of road methods.
Of state-wide Interest was a declara
tion tonight by Governor Lister that
he will not name a successor for State
Highway Commissioner ' Roberts until
lie returns from Olympia, the end of
this week. He said, however, that the
choice has narrowed down to three
men, one of Spokane and two of Pierce
County.
An alliance between the King County
delegation of 26. the largest In attend
ance, and Southwestern Washington to
give the 1914 convention to Centralla
will probably defeat Spokane's aspira
tions, although F. W. Gullbert, chair
man of the Spokane delegation. Is
working hard to line up a majority.
By resolution passed this afternoon the
question will come up for vote tomor
row morning at 11 o'clock.
i Convention Ilolds Key.
H. M. Robinson, chairman of the Cen
tralla Commercial Club, claims to have
pledges of support from Pierce County
as well as King-.
Cards with the name of W. J. Rob
erts for President of the Washington
Good Roads Association were printed
and distributed tonight at 6:30 o'clock.
The only .other man named for the
place is Robert Insinger, of Spokane,
and the Spokane delegation is not urg
lng his candidacy, as it is principally
interested In securing the 1911 meet
lng. The Seattle delegation, in caucus
tonight, pledged its support to Cen
tralla. Both Centralla and Spokane
claim North Yakima s support, which
Is doubtful.
About 250 delegates are In attend
ance and an aggregate of .350 will prob
ably be ready lor the balloting tomorrow.
The object of both east and west side
In the tight is to secure the good roads
meeting in the even-numbered years,
Immediately before the legislative ses
sions, while the recommendations of
the good roads convention will have
greatest weight.
The question came to the front for
a moment when Invitations were pre
sented by both Spokano and Centralia
and David McKenzie, chairman of the
Iving County Hoard of Commissioners,
and M. R. Thompson, Pierce County en.
"gineor, declared the members of their
state organizations for Centralia. The
conventions for the last 11 years have
been as follows:
Seattle, 1900; Ellensburg, 1901; Spo

RANGE WAR IS CONTINUED
Jl'endleton Neighbors Involved in
Snlt Over Grazing: Land.
' PENDLETON, Or, Nov. 20 (Spe
cial.) That the old range troubles be
tween the sheep and cattlemen have
not been eliminated entirely was evi
denced yesterday when Charles Ogilvy,
a grower of cattle and horses, brought
suit against his neighbor, Charles John
Bon, a sheep man, for $34 00 damages.
Ogilvy charges that Johnson placed
barbed wire "snares" on the Ogilvy
range, resulting in serious losses of
stock and making it impossible for
Ogilvy to use the range.
These men have been In constant con
troversy over range matters for nearly
a score of years. "Gun men" have
been employed by both sides at vari
ous times and no longer ago than last
year there was an exchange of shots,
but no fatalities resulted.
homestead filings in the Siuslaw re
serve, was brought from Portland by
Supervisor Harvey, who has been in
conference with district forest offi
cials. By the addition of these men to
the three crews now in the field, the
work of passing on the proposed home
steads can be greatly expedited, and
more settlers may be prepared to- go
on their claims in the Spring. There
are now on file 777 applications for
homesteads, and each of these must be
examined by forest service officials for
approval before the land can, be with
drawn from the reserve and opened to
settlement.
'Wie are doublincr the force, even
though it is in the Winter," said Mr.
Harvey, "in order to clear up the great
number of claims which have , been
filed, and which are being filed every
day. There Is a loss of time during the
bad weather, and It Is more expensive.
yet we feel that the development of this
country is worth the effort. We are
doing everything we can to rush this
work."
The additional men will be drawn
from reserves In other parts of the
state where they are not needed at this
time.
FRENCH MAY BE IN RAGE
IDAHO REPRESENTATIVE SAID TO
HAVE EYE OX SENATORS HIP.
Chief Justice Allsnte May Not Ran
Against Latah Cpnnty Man, Bnt
Otber Entries Are Expected.
MOSCOW, Idaho.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Rumors have been current In Mos
cow for several days that Representa
tive French would enter the race in
the coming campaign to succeed James
H. Brady in the United States Senate.
Press reports from Washington Indi
cate that Representative French is con
sidering entering the race and while
he has made no announcement as yet,
he is expected to do so In the near future.
Should French enter the Senatorial
race the coming campaign would be
marked by one of the most active and
strenuous situations in the history of
the state. Senator Brady and ex-Gov
ernor Gooding are in the race already
and the fight between these two old
leaders will be bitter. It Is currently
rumored that Chief Justice Allsnte of
the Supreme Court will be a candidate
for the Senate and will not seek re
election to the bench. It Is understood
that he has been holding off his an
nouncement pending Information as to
whether Mr. French would be a can
didate. While it Is possible Justice
Allshle may enter the race for the
toga, in the event that Mr. French
runs, it Is not thought probable that
he will.
Among prominent Republican lead
ers In the North the view Is expressed
that there will be other candidates
from the North. Friends of George E.
Crura, of Lewlston, are reported to be
urging him to enter the primary fight.
OPEN WINTER IS PREDICTED
Wallowa County Farmers Have Not
Experienced Cold Weather Yet.
ENTERPRISE, Or., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) An open Winter for this county
is predicted by old residents. There has
been no cold weather to date, and farm
ers have continued their field work
with no Interruption except from Ire
quent seasonable rains.
One of the signs the old timers count
on Is the fact no wild geese have been
heard flying south yet. The water
fowl pass their Summers in the lakes
and marshes of the Far North, and
start for a warmer climate when, the
north freezes up. The fact that they
have not gone south yet, is taken to
mean that cold weather has not set in
to the north.
LEGISLATURES BERATED
Municipalities League President Says
Lawmakers Were Remiss.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Because the last Legislature of
Washington failed to pass several
measures proposed for the general
benefit of the cities of the state. Presi
dent Howard A. Hanson, of Seattle, pre
siding officer of the League of Wash
ington Municipalities, soundly berated
the dignitaries of the legislative body

annual convention of the league.
In his address he criticised the law
makers for their failure to consider
those measures indorsed by the state
league at Its meeting last year. His
address was In reply to a speech of
welcome by the Mayor.
AMENDMENT IS REJECTED
Women at , Independence Better In
formed Than Men Voters.
INDEPENDENCE, Or, Nov. 20.
(Special.) By a vote of 101 to 80 the
voters of this city yesterday defeated
an amendment to the city charter for
a road district within the corporate
limits of the city. There was a great
deal of misunderstanding In regard to
the question.
Out of the total 181 voting there
were 48 women and they seemed to be
better informed on the question than
the men. Mrs. A. J. Cooper, a pioneer
82 years old, walked more than a mile
to the polls and was one of the most
enthusiastic of the voters.
DURKEE PIONEER PASSES
A. R. Cady, Aged 75, Dies In Sleep
, From Heart Disease.
BAKER, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) A.
r.. Cady, a pioneer rancher of Durkee,

thought he was asleep, but it was found
that he had died quietly in the night.
Heart disease was the cause of death.

ers to come to the Mormon Basin coun

Grain Acreage Likely to Bo larger
and Dairying and Breeding ol
Pure-Blooded Horses Get
Attention.
LEWISTON. Idaho. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) The Interest aroused in alfalfa
growing and livestock probaDiy will
result in large areas of alfalfa being
seeded this Winter and early In the
SDriner. In many instances the alfalfa
seed being used In connection with
grain, which .will enable the farmers
to take a grain crop from the land next
year.
Other farmers are selecting tracts to
be devoted exclusively to alfalfa grow
ing, and the weather conditions are
favorable for preparing the seed bed
for the new crop.
Another matter receiving the atten
tion of the farmers is the preparation
of their fat stock for the livestock
show, which will be held at Lewlston
December 1 to 6. Central Idaho farm
ers will be represented with carload
exhibits of fat cattle, sheep and hogs,
and from many of the communities will
come purebred horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs to be entered in the purebred
classifications. ,
It is probable the acreage of Fall
grain in the Central Idaho country will
be larger next season than ever before.
but there la evidence that the farmers
are Dreoaring for a material change in
their clans, and that tiiversinea rarm-
lng will be taken up extensively as
soon as the necessary cnange can De
made.
The alfalfa growing probably will
be followed by dairying and the raising
of cattle and hogs lor the marKets, ana
the breeding of purebred horses is re
ceiving much attention in many sec
tions.
Taken all In all, the farmers are ex
periencing the busiest Fall In many
years.
The Holden alfalfa campaign came
at a time when the farmers were seek
lne some outlet for the single-crop
idea, but paramount among the fac
tors- bringing about tne cnange on tne
farms Is the fact that each year the
farmers have been demonstrating that
the single-crop Idea cannot endure.

ENTERPRISE, Or.. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Wallowa County has been great
ly agitated during the last week by an

express assessments for the county will
be on the 66 per cent basis, while the
state tax on all other property will be
Increased largely.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Hair that loses Its color and lustre.
or when It fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which Is so attrac
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy," which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell It has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with It and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair' dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives It
an appearance of abundance. Adv.
