Spokane County, today selected ev
eral men formerly classed as leaders
of the Progressive "party In Eastern

F. A. McMaster. a regular Repub
lican during past campaigns, was
named as president of tha organization,
but Lloyd E. Gandy. president of the
Roosevelt Club during 1912 and active
In Bull Moose organization during two
campaigns, was named vice-president
over his own protest, and William A.
Monten, president of the County Pro
gressive League and candidate on tha
Progressive ticket for the State Sen
ate last Fall, waa named a member of
the executive committee.
The complete list of officers selected
Includes Charles Hebbard and Roy A.

treasurer: E. R. Ennls. secretary, and
O. H. Cutting. J. D. Bassett. C. P. Lund,
W. A. Monten. E. E. Burton. S. R. Green,
C. L. Snuff. Parker Kimball and Adolph
Munter, executive committeemen.
I fully sympathize in the attempt to
reunite all of the elements in opposi
tion to the present Democratic regime,
Mr. Gandy declared in attempting to
withdraw his name, "and I trust that
tbe Republican party will meet the
necessity by nominating for Its Presi
dent a man whom those, who left the
party in 1912 can return to support.
But in view of the fact that there is
yet an existing political party, of which
organization 1 happen to be an officer.
I feel that I should. In propriety, re'
fuse to accept the election you have
offered me.
The protest was ruled aside, on the
motion of Mr. Hebbard that the nom
inee, should be given 10 days to sever
his connection with the Progressive or
ganization. The same rule was applied
to the attempted withdrawal of l&r.
Monten.v
About 60 people attended the gath
ering. The election took an unexpected
turn when the selection of a president
was taken up. The Idea of leading
Republicans was to name Lloyd Gandy
for the place as a guarantee of good
faith in inviting the return of Pro
gressives, but no slate was framed.
All officers were elected without con
tests. TREE FELLED WITH BOY

TRAMP BRITON FIXED
Lady Carrington Chartered
for September Grain.
BARK NOEMI AT DOCK
Highbury Loading and Mezly Is Ex
pected Here Soon for Part of
Cargo Caluiu, Formerly Ger
man Steamer, Due on Coast.
Lady Carrington. a British tramp, is
the latest named aa under engagement
to work a cargo of grain here for the
United Kingdom. Tbe fixture was made
known yesterday in cables from.abroad.
and one report was that the rate was
93s 9d. while another Jiad it that there
had been no change in steam freights,
and she was taken at 95s. which has
been the mark for the last few ships
procured.
The Lady Carrington is credited to
Kerr, Gifford & Co.. although from in
formation obtainable yesterday it was
understood that she had not been
named as the successor of the British
steamer Rosalie, which was eliminated
from the en route list a few days ago
because she was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine and beached. She had
been out less than a day from Shields
on her way here via ban f rancisco,
consigned to Kerr, Gifford & Co.
The net registered tonnage of the
Lady Carrington is 2940, and she left
Wales July 29 for Hampton Roads, and
may be here for late September load
Ing. So long as exporters have to pay
the high rates demanded by steamer
owners, there is apparently no strenu
ous effort necessary to obtain tonnage,
but the situation is one that dealers de
plore. Wheat receipts up to yesterday
from the interior were approximately
300 cars short of deliveries at tide
water for the corresponding period last
season.
The French bark Noemi, arriving
early yesterday from San Francisco,
berthed at a new dock built by the
Star Sand Company at St. Johns, where
she is to discharge 1200 tons of rock
ballast taken on within the Golden
Gate. The vessel loads old-crop wheat
on account of Balfour, Guthrie & Co
and will shift into the harbor during
the coming week.
Tbe tramp Highbury is taking on
grain at Montgomery dock, having
started yesterday, and will be cleared
in a few daya.
The French bark Mezly, which
reached San Franci&co July 30, is also
under charter to Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., at 60s, and there is an option in
eluded in the charter party of Port
land loading. As tbe firm ordered the
fs'oeml here, the Mesly may follow suit.
It was reported yesterday that the
British steamer Calulu, formerly the
German steamer Osnabruck, had been
chartered to load grain on Puget Sound
for Australia. She was captured by
the British, and until sold recently was
known as tbe C-9, which' meant the
ninth steamer seized.
MICKY' O'ROCKKE TO SHIFT
Lightship Engineer Is Transferred
to Umatilla Reef Vessel.
Tls m'self thot'a nayther 'frald 't
th' dlvil 'r mln, but plase sind me
whir thur's plenty 'f compiny." was
what Micky OKourke, "Chaf Ingineer
of the Columbia River light vessel,
wrote to Lighthouse Inspector Robert
W arrack when a question arose re
garding his transfer, so Micky goes to
the Umatilla Reef light vessel next
week.
It was of Micky's own choosing that
he shifts. For years his form has
decorated the Columbia River ship with
Captain Nielsen and the two have been
as chummy as a couple of fleas, but
of late Micky's roving spirit had as
serted itself, and be clamors for a
change. Incidentally, on tbe Umatilla
ship his duties will be less strenuous
and more time will be afforded for
reviving tales of Irish folk lore and
banshee, for which he has become fa
mous under the tutorship of John
Fleming Wilson in the Saturday Even
ing Post.
F. A. KILBCRX SAILS TOXIGHT
Roanoke Returns to Portland-Cali
fornia Route Next Week.
Bringing a large cargo and a num
ber of passengers, the North Pacific
teamer F. A. Kilburn arrived last
night from San Francisco via Hum
boldt and Coos Bays, and sails on the
return tonight with all ' the freight
that can be stowed away and a big
passenger list.
Latest information from San Fran
Cisco reaching the office of A. P. Nott
district freight agent of the fleet, is
that the steamer Roanoke will be off
he drydock In time to sail on schedule
from San Francisco Friday, and she
will be dispatched from here August
The Geo. W. Elder turns back at
San Francisco this trip so as to take
care of the Roanoke's business. The
service at this end of the line will be
maintained with tits Kilburn and Santa
Clara until the other vessels are again
n northern waters. The company is
perating the largest fleet between
Oregon and California ports since it
was established.
HOKKAI MAKTJ WIIiLi RETCBS
Japanese Steamer Fixed to Load
Shanghai Lumber Cargo. -
Due to make another voyage from
Portland is the Japanese steamer
Hokkal Maru, which sailed from here
the last of July to finish discharging
Oriental cargo at San Francisco, from
where she sailed Thursday for Sydney
with a cargo of oil in the service of
the Union line.
The tramp has been chartered by
Hind, Rolph & Company to load coal
at Newcastle for the Coast, probably
he Golden Gate, and outward she will
be in the service of Robert Dollar in
carrying a cargo of fir to Shanghai.
The Hokkai Maru came here under
charter to Mitsui & Company, so when
he returns she will have been under
three other engagements.
Japanese shipowners are experienc
ing the best year in their history so
far as being able to place their vessels
way from home is concerned, the call
for tonnage being so heavy that al
most any character of a steamer is
being taken, particularly in the Pacific
Coast-Australian trade.
MOXTICELLO MAKES HEADWAY
Channel Work In Lewis River to Be
Duplicated on Cowlitz..
Of the projected depth of four feet
at gero the new Government dredge
Monticello, sent to Lewis River last
week on her first task, has already cut
the channel to two feet, and as soon
as sufficient relief is afforded to en
able steamers to make Woodland and
La Center, immediately the digger will
shift to the Cowlitz River to clear the
channel temporarily so vessels can re
sume operation during the low-water
stage. At present she la engaged in
the north fork 'of Lewis River and
about a mile below Woodland.
Using the suction gear, the dredge Is
able to-handle 00 to 600 yards of ma
terial a day. but such a mass of bark,
broken limbs and such stuff collected
on the bed of the stream through log
ging operations that her pump was
frequently clogged and today she will
work with a dipper gear to clear the
channel, so the suction equipment can
operate advantageously.
LARGER 'SIGXS REQUESTED
German Submarines Find Difficulty
.Distinguishing Vessels.
An order has reached Collector of
Customs Burke that he request own
ers of vessels to paint the name of
the country from which they hail In
large letters on the hulls of shops
