TTTR MORXTNO OREGOXTAW, TUESDAY, JULY 28. 1914. IDAHO SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE IS ON Four Parties to Place Full Tickets in Field Before Primary Campaign. BULL MOOSE HOPEFUL Republicans Think Third Faction Will Split and Majority Will Fall Into Llne When Tim Comes for Action. BOISE. Idaho. July 27. (Special.) Nominations for state. Judicial and county offices close in this state next Saturday. A land-office business Is expected by the Secretary of State this week In handling; state and Judicial nomina tions, for four parties, the Republican, Democratic Progressive and Socialist, will have complete tickets In the field for the opening of the primary elec tion campaign August 1. Bali Moose Confident. Progressives frankly admit they do not expect to poll a heavy vote at the primaries because there is no compe tition for offices. They declare, how ever, that at the general election they will be found polling a heavier vote than two years ago. In the general election of 1912, a Presidential year, the Progressive party of this state polled 26,627 votes for Roosevelt. "he electors had to write in the names of the Presidential electors be cause of the Supreme Court opinion striking the head of the party's ticket from the ballot. The Republicans say the primaries will not only show a distinct loss to the Progressive party but at the gen eral election the Martin majority of two years ago will be cut in half. The, Republicans are endeavoring to hold the Progressive members of the party In line and have been more or less successful. Dubois Rumors Heard.

SAMUEL HILLIS SCORED (Continued From First Page.) Hinhway through that section prac tically an Impossibility. In welcoming the delegates, W. H. Gore, of Medford, president of the Medford National Bank, said he was not surprised at the letter from Mr. Hill, as Mr. Hill, several years ago, had endeavored to persuade him that the logical route for the Pacific High way was through Central Oregon rather than through the Rogue Rlver Umpy.ua and Willamette Valleys. "I told Mr. Hill what I believe now," said Mr. Gore "that, while section alism and petty partisanship have no place In our good-road policy and the people of Eastern Oregon, as well as the people of Northern and South ern Oregon, deserve good roads and should have them, nevertheless the Im mediate need and the first work to be done Is to supply that portion of the state which is most thickly set tled with the first section of the Pa cific Highway and that section runs through the state from Ashland through Grants Pass, Eugene to Port land." Price Called Excessive. B. F. Nichols, of Riddle, Or., and John 11. Alberts, of Salem, Or., also criticised Mr. Hill's attitude, while Secretary Boos said Mr. Hill's esti mate of $20,000,000 as the cost of the Pacific Highway through the Cow Creek Canyon and the cities in West ern Oregon was not only excessive, but would discourage rather than en courage good-road work in the state. The first speech in favor of all trunk lines like the Pacific Highway being constructed by the state, with feeders built by the counties, was made by Judge Watson, of Ashland. He was followed by Frederick Hollenberg. of Corvaliis. who explained, by a printed circular which was passed through the audience, the plan of Sam H. Moore, also of that city. This plan in gen eral advocates all road work be car ried on under the central authority of state with aid from the Govern ment, the state to buy if necessary, or through condemnation, all rock quarries and cement plants necessary to road construction and carry on the work for the counties at cost. The plan mantalns county bonding Is in adequate and extravagant, because It lacks uniformity and sufficient size to ret ths greatest efficiency. The speaker also urged that convicts be In road construction, so that ! highway cost could be cut to the low est possible figure. Candidates Advocate Plan. Mr. Hollenberg read commendations of this plan from James Withycombe, C J. Smith, W. S. U'Ren, candidates for Governor. Judge Worden, of Klamath Falls, took Issue with the permanent high way advocates and said the Immediate need in Oregon was not for hard-surfaced roads, desirable as they un doubtedly were, but for better aver age roads, rdads that were well drained and well surfaced, accommodating not only the automobilist, but the farmer and homesteader. "We cannot afford hard-surfaced roads now," said he. "Let's get the maximum transportation we can af ford, and then, as we prosper and in crease in. population, we can put on these macadam and gravel roads, a permanent hard surface." Captain Walter Coggesall, of Eureka. Cal.. representing Governor Johnson, gave a history of road work in that slate, and particularly in Humboldt County, declaring the Trl-State Asso ciation was directly responsible for much that was accomplished. Committees Are Appointed Tonight the visiting delegates were given an automobile ride through the valley and tomorrow the new Central Point road and Siskiyou grade will be Inspected. The following committees were ap pointed this morning: Permanent organization and by laws G. A. Webb, of Crescent City; Bert R. Greer, of Ashland, and J. B. Yondell, of Seattle. Resolutions R. J. Anderson, of Redding; John H. Alberts, of Salem, and Godfrey Winslow, of Tacoma. Credentials George E. Boos, of Med ford; E. C. Hegler, of Crescent City, and W. H. Gore, of Medford. SHEEP TAKEN LONG WAY BAND OF 10,000 BEING DRIVEN FROM LAKEVIEW TO MONTAGUE. Price Paid for Wetkers in Sonth Cen tral Ore icon Declared Highest Ever Received There. LAKEVIEW, Or., July 27. (Special.) As a sequel to the refusal of the forestry officials to maintain a drive way for sheep through the Modoc re serve, one lot of 19,000 sheep are be ing driven from here to Montague, Cal., by way of the Tule Lake and Dog Lake countries, a distance of about 150 miles. Tho sheep were bought in Lake, Crook and Wasco counties for the Cali fornia markets by buyers for me Western Meat Company, of San Fran cisco. The company, together with Lake County sheepmen acting as a unit, asked that a permanent drive way through the Modoc reserve be granted, such as has been in use for 40 years. Ramsey M. Cox, general manager of the Nevada-California-Oregon narrow gauge railway, joined with the forestry men In opposing the trailing proposition, and at a public meeting offered a re duction from $38.17. to $30 for a narrow gauge car, from Lakeview to Doyle, on the Western Pacific Since three double-deck narrow gauge cars will fill but one double-deck standard gauge, this still leaves the narrow gauge company tariff equal to $90 a broad gauge car, against $54 which the Western Pacific charges from Doyle to the coast. It was promptly accepted by the Western Meat Company for the first 10.000 head, with the proviso that the railway was to furnish 50 cars a day and move 4000 head of sheep daily. There were but 20 cars here the first day and It has transpired that the com pany owns but 55 stock cars. The meat company thereupon canceled the order and determined to drive to Montague, meanwhile having obtained a special rate from the Southern Pacific. The sheep are fat wethers and they sold at $4.50 to $4.75 a head, which is the highest price ever paid in these parts. REFUGEES' FLOUR SOLD? Dayton, O., Resident Says Estacada's Gift Sack Was Marketed. ESTACADA, Or., July 27. (Special.) A letter received here today by John F. Lovelace intimates that a sack of flour sent to Dayton.

"It looks to me like something was rotten some place," writes Taylor In the postscript of his letter of com plaint.

MAINE CONDITIONS DIFFER Habits of Western Game and Move ment of Prospectors Through Forest Are Pointed Out as Adding to Difficulties. BY T. T. WATERMAN". Professor University of California. KNOWLES CAMP. Klamath National Forest, via Holland and Grants Pass. Or.. July 27. (Special.) We have at last heard from Joe Knowles and I, for one, was thoroughly relieved when his message came to light. Oregon cer tainly is too well settled and prosper ous for the experiment we are conduct ing. It would be twice as easy in a virgin wilderness. This part of Ore gon, while wild, is continually trav ersed by prospectors. We are confident that Mr. Knowles' resourcefulness and knowledge of the woods will carry him through. It will do no harm to admit, however, that he will deserve a great deal of credit if he is successful. The test here is a good deal harder than the one he carried out before. It must be remembered that the presence of prospectors and hunters is no help to Mr. Knowles. On the contrary, it adds to his perplexities. He has to avoid such parties as far as possible, and their presence makes the trapping and snaring of game all the more dif ficult. Mr. Knowles is ranging up and down the east fork of Indian Creek from the Californa line down towards the Klam ath River. This region was rather thoroughly exploited by mining inter ests some 50 years ago, as it lay in the area of placer diggings. Since then it has been constantly worked in a small way, both by placer and quartz miners. The situation will test Mr. Knowles' power to the utmost, and I for one am willing to extend him the fullest credit if he succeeds Mr. Knowles Is to leave his messages from time to time telling of his suc cess and probable movements, in addi tion to the written communications. He is to leave for our Inspection some of the tools he makes and directions for our guidance so that we can get in touch with his life in the woods. From time to time, therefore, we will be able to send in photographs to show the public how he is getting on. The first message he left for us we found at the base of a giant cedar. He had written it in some haste on several slips of bark, using charcoal. It represents merely the beginning of his test, but it makes us sure that his test is actually under way, and gives promise that it will not end in failure. Conditions for him probably will get better as time goes on. As an example of the diffi culties under which Mr. Knowles is working in coming to a new region, might be mentioned the different habits of the deer. In the State of Maine, where Mr. Knowles was brought up, the woods in the Summer time are filled with swarms of "files," that is, mosqui toes and gnats. These pests "drive the deer to the water. The hunter, there fore, who wants a chance at the deer knows that by slipping along the shores of the lakes and streams he can always find them. In Oregon there are no in sect pests. This is fine for the deer but hard for the hunter. How Mr. Knowles is to lay his hands on game which is scattered through the country is a puzzle. It Is hard to see how snares can be successful. librarYTisTpuzzles ALLEGED BURGLAR SAYS HE CAN NOT EXPLAIN BOOK. Man Arrested at Oregon City Asks to Be Permitted to Mead GnUty With out Delay Drink Blamed. OREGON CITY, Or., July 27. (Spe cial.) A small book, containing the names of thousands of libraries In the United States and Canada, found in the library with a burglar's Jimmy and three keys, were turned over to the county officials today. They were left in the building by John Young, who was arrested in the building early Sat urday morning while attempting to rob It. Opposite the names of hundreds of the libraries were small check marks. When asked the meaning of the marks Young replied today that the book was not his but belonged to a man named Scotty, who, Young says, assisted in the work. The book bears out the theory held by the local officials, that Young had a mania for robbing li braries, and used the book in carrying on his work systematically. A slip of paper was found in the book with the following Inscription: "East 226 Alder, 100 F.; E. Alder and Eleventh E. Portland Branch; 284 Burn side, People's Institute." Young asked that he be permitted to plead guilty as soon as possible, but it will be necessary to hold him until the grand jury can bind him over, accord ing to the new state law. He is in the county Jail, where he still maintains that he was not sober when he broke into the building. NEW PROFESSORS ENGAGED Two Eastern Philosophers to Join Faculty of Willamette.

Morton, a graduate of Colum bia College, New York City, has been engaged as professor of philosophy, and will arrive here about September 1. Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of the university, said that several men were under consideration for the de partment of English and that a decision would be made in a few days. TELEPHONE CASE HEARD Eastern Oregon Association Fights Order to Connect With Home. LA GRANDE, Of. July ST, (Spe cial.) The case of the Eastern Oregon Co-operative Telephone Association against tha Railroad Commission of Oregon was taken under advisement by Judge Knowles, of the Circuit Court here, late this evening, after a day passed in reviewing the order of the commission Issued some time ago, in which the telephone association was Instructed to make conection with the Home Independent Company, a competing line, at Summerville, Elgin and Cove. The co-operative associa tion today presented no new evidence, but confined its case to a review of the evidence presented to the Rail road Commission before the order of that body was made. It contends that the order of the commission is con fiscatory in certain respects. No de cision is expected before . two weeks. Attorney-General Crawford was here representing the state, and Clyde B. Aitchison, chairman of the commission, personally directed the commission's side of the argument. L. Donham, of Elgin, and J. D. Slater, of La Grande, represented the telephone company. NEW BUG HITS GARFIELD Hedges in Eastern Oregon County Devastated by Strange Insect. POMEROY, Wash., July 27. (Spe cial.) Some strange bug has put In its appearance in Garfield County and Is devastating the hedges. Old residents of Pomeroy contend that the insect has been imported into the county In some way, and that such bugs have never been seen here before. Many experiments have been made to exterminate the bugs, but none of them have been successful without seri ously damaging the hedges. A tube full of insects has been sent to Professor Trevor Kincaid, head of the department of zoology at the Uni versity of Washington, for identifica tion. Professor Kincaid also has been asked to suggest some method of ex termination. SCHOOL GAINIS SHOWN Benton. Columbia, Gilliam and Grant Census Is Announced. SALEM, Or.. July 27. (Special.)
