GO IN TO WIN IF GOOD Walla t.AValla Senator Preparing to Make Determined Fight, Provid ed Omens Are Favorable. Politicians Procrastinating. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 24. (Special.) United States Senator Levi Ankeny is not the passive candidate for re-election that the public has be lieved and his friends feared. Senator Ankeny meant what he said when he announced that he was a candidate for re-election and he will demonstrate it. Atikeny's friends have never had a direct word that he wants to succeed himself, but they are to get that In formation at once. Senator Ankeny has begun to realize that a passive in terest In the senatorial contest does not promise very much in the way of votes and he will show more signs of activity. First of all. Senator Ankeny's friends are going to find out for him Just where he stands with the voters. Since Ankeny's election in 1903 the senior Senator has never attempted to make an analysis of the sentiments of the voters in this state. Prior to that election the Ankeny organization knew clear down to the precincts how the drift of sentiment was going and it was this exhaustive information that made it possible for them to build up a systematic and effective organization: Ankeny is not going into a losing fight, and he. will know at the outset Just what chance he has. Just where his strongest support can be found, how much of an opposition there Is to be overcome and the percentage of in different vote. If this careful analy sis of the voting sentiment of the state is satisfactory to Ankeny and his ad visers, he will begin an immediate fight for re-election. Will Enter Fight to Win. It a study of state conditions indi cates the Ankeny fight is hopeless. It is believed,. that Ankeny will recognize the fact. But once the word is taken out that Ankeny is really in the con test to win, his closest friends do not believe the state situation will have a hopeless aspect. They xigure that If there is such an indication of determ ination about the new Ankeny fight as there was about the old, the senior Senator's friends will wake up and go to work in his behalf. It is reason ably certain that they will not become active unless there is an assurance that the fight can be won and that Ankeny proposes to win It. That is the reason Ankeny's friends are preparing now to ascertain whether the fight can be won and then to wake up politicians with the announcement that they pro pose to win. In figuring on Ankeny's possibilities Ms friends declare that the Jones-candidacy has been accepted as a winner because there has been no one to dis pute the Yakima Congressman's claims. So long as he had Veen running with only a passive opposition, the political talk has all been pro-Jones. Ankeny's friends want to know what it will be If an active opposition is shown. Threats of opposition to Jones if he is tied up with factional Interests or if his candidacy is to be accepted as a prelude to a senatorial candidacy, of Congressman Cushmaa two years later, have encouraged activity on Ankney's behalf. Despite the fact that Jones claims he is not tied up to anyone, the Btory keeps circulating that he is'iden tified with factional politics and that there Is either a working agreement among the Congressional delegation or "Indian knowledge" that the Jones deal Includes Cushman for a 1910 candidate. A ill Jdnes Boom Last Over Winter? The Jones candidacy has been devel oped In the hot weather of an off-year. Just how it Is to wear through a Win ter and come out into the Spring of cam paign year is a matter that politicians have not taken the trouble to forecast. There is too much indifference over the whole situation to give an Intelligent basis for prediction and this apathy has aroused the Ankeny determination to know what is back of it all. There may be something or there may be nothing behind so much talk that runs something like this: "It's too early now. Let's wait a little bit and see what happens." There is much of that kind of procrastination among politicians, and no one knows exactly what it all means. it the Senatorial fight becomes Involved with the campaign for nominations to state offices, there ls.no means of fore casting what might happen. Jones has claimed, despite the effort of several candidates to tie up with htm, that ho is free from such entanglements. There is no reason to suspect Ankeny of trying to frame up with any of the state can didates, but as the campaign drifts Into next year that might easily be possible. There has been a great deal of specu lation as to what various counties of the state could be depended upon to do In the event of a good healthy Senatorial struggle. No one actually knows. It Is probable the Ankeny organization, .which was strongest In the .Columbia River counties and the Southeast, will size up the situation In these strongholds first. In any event Ankeny has got to know first of all how loyal his oldtlme friends are and then to begin a canvass of these districts which are under special obliga tion to him. If he can bring to districts where he has claims for" support a show ing -that his friends are with him and that his candidacy has a promising ap pearance, he can get 8k definite answer as to whether he can count upon past pledges. King Connty Waiting. King County Is in the category of dis tricts that will not be exploited Immedi ately. If Ankeny finds upon thorough investigation that he still retains the Bupport In his old strongholds, his friends will ask the members of the conference that elected Piles in 1905 what they are going to do toward the redemp tion of that pledge. Unofficially It Is stated that if the men who made the Piles deal are assured of a promising Ankeny strength, . they will Insist that King County keep faith-with the South eastern representatives who elected Piles. And until they know whether Ankeny can deliver a presentable following and demand a return favor, they are not go ing to commit themselves to anyone else. Charley Sweeny has declared In Spo kane County the possibility of a fight against Jones that Is Interpreted to be an invitation to Ankeny to ask for his support. Ankeny's friends declare that Sweeny and the Spokane following of Ankeny are still loyal to the Walla Walla man. . Ankeny's leadership a . the open. river fight has put the Upper Columbia and Snake River districts under obliga tions to him. His friends want to know whether that work is appreciated. By the way, that is one of the incom plete works that Ankeny said a short time ago he would like to finish. He has Jyst succeeded in inducing the United States engineer to authorize a survey and a report on the opening of the Upper River. Ankeny is earnestly hopeful that he can put through a bill carrying an ap propriation that will open the upper rivers to navigation. That done, he be lieves the transportation problem in this state will be solved. Incidentally it would be a big factor in determining rates to the interior of Oregon. FIRE SWEEPS M' ARTHUR FARM House and Granary Saved by Heroic 1 Efforts of Neighbors. RICKREALL, Or., Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) An engine on the Southern Pa cific Company's- line set out a serious fire on the C.. N. McArthur farm north of this place yesterday afternoon. The fire spread rapidly and burned over two fields, one of 100 acres and the other of 40 acres. A large amount of fencing was destroyed, and only by heroic efforts of all the able-bodied men of the neighborhood were the house and farm buildings saved from destruction. The wind fanned the flames with such rapidity that' they swept to within a few feet of the barn and granary. The fire was the most serious that has occurred In this part of the Valley In many years, and it was only by the determined efforts of the flre-flghters that It was prevented from doing great damage. FATAL KUNTiNG ACCIDENT MAX BEHIND STUMBLES AND GUX IS DISCHARGED. Joseph Bushnell, of Douglas Connty, Receives Bullet in Abdomen and Lives but Four Hours. ROSEBURG, Or., Aug.. 24. (Spe cial.) Another fatal hunting accident occurred near here yesterday. This time the life of Joseph Bushnell was sacrificed. Bushnell and Richard Beas ley were returning from a hunt, with Beasley carrying his gun in such a manner that when he stumbled the bullet entered the arm of Bushnell, passing through it and into his abdo men. A physician was called, but he was unable to find the bullet, so the wounded man was started for Rose burg. When within about four miles of town he suddenly died. The body was brought on to town and prepared for burial, and then taken back to his home on Sugar Mountain, about 15 miles west of town. Young Beasley Is distracted over the result of his carelessness. EXCURSION' INTO COAL MINK Centralia Business Men See Exten sive Property at Kopiah. CENTRALIA, Aug. 24. (Special.) F. B.

LIKE FINDlUt Clerk's Error Keeps Timber Firm in Dark. HAVE MORE THAN REALIZED Weyerhaeusers' Holdings Are Much Larger Than Records Show, Making Tax Increase Over $40,000 In Washington. CHEHALIS, Wash., Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) All day long today the Lewis County Board of Equalization was busy hearing the protests eWJie holders of tltnher lands against tnTT proposed in crease In the assessments of that class of ' property. There 1 was a large at tendance, George S. Long, representing th Weverhaeuser Interests; J. C. Fair- child, representing the Northern Pacific; W. W. Barr, representing tne continen tal and Flewelling interests, all very heavy owners, being present. The Board some days ago aaopiea the stand-pat policy regarding these valuations, and excepting where glar ing errors had been made in assessing certain places, have made but few changes.. One of the very interesting things brought out by the timber cruise was that for several years past the Weyerhaeuser company has been pay ing a low tax on a small valuation on section 26-11-4 west, near Wlldwood, southwest of Chehalis about 25 miles. Through some error made -in the company's office in transcribing the re cord, of this particular section, which showed all the Northern Pacific cruises made up from data turned in by Charles Peters, the Northern pacific cruiser who went over these lands before they passed from the railroad's hands to the Weyerhaeuser company, tney were made to snow tnat zo-u-f west imu 1,408,000 feet of fir, 246,500 feet of cedar and 1,400,000 feet of hemlock on It, and that the section had been partly burned over. Several years ago, when S. E. Grimm was assessor, timber land valuations were advanced somewhat and the value set on this particular sec tion was made so high mat Manager Long, of the Weyerhaeuser company, declined to pay the taxes on It. under the impression that since It contained only a trifle more than 3,ooo,ouu ieet oi timber In all, it was not worth paying the taxes on it. An investor took out a. delinquent tax certificate on this section, drawing 15 per cent interest, and would, no doubt, have eventually foreclosed it, but in 1904 the valuation was reduced somewhat to a prioe which the Weyer haeuser people considered fair, so the certificate was paid up and since that time the company Jias kept the tax paid up, but all the while Ignorant of the fact that they had a piece of tim ber that was worth big money. r The particular reason for this ignor ance was that Bectlon 25 was one which the Weyerhaeuser Company got from the Northern Pacific a few years ago when the 900,000-acre purchase was- made, and that the railroad com pany's cruises were accepted as cor rect and those records have since stood unquestioned In the company's offices in Tacoma. The only fault was that a clerk who had transcribed Cruiser Peters' notes recorded the wrong de scription of the section or township at the head of the sheet. The recent Lewis County cruise developed the fact that this section contained about 6o.d00, 500 feet of fine timber and that, aside from a very small burn at one corner, no fire had ever damaged it. This information did not reach the Weyerhaeuser office until early this week, when Manager Long sent Mark ham and Joy, two expert cruisers, to take a look at the disputed land. Mr. Joy stated today, that while he did not believe it had 65,000,000 of timber on it, his partial cruise would indicate that it had 60,000,000 feet. The Joke Is on the Weyerhaeuser people this time, for they were apparently abso lutely innocent of any intent to evade paying a fair tax on the land. The commissioners have placed a valuation of a little" over $17,000 on the section under their oruise. The big timber company Is no doubt glad to know that it has so valuable a piece of timber on section 25, for Its value will help some toward paying the additional taxes which, under the increased val uation the Countv Board of Ennalkn. f tion is putting on all timber holdings. une-or tne board stated this week that while the figures were not exact, his estimate was that the Weyer haeuser Company alone will have to stand an Increase in Its assessed valua tion on its extensive Lewis County noiaingg to the extent or 11,500,000, which means that the company will have to pay added taxes of between 140,000 and $50,000.

OF Measures to Prevent Possible Spread of Plague. FUMIGATE ALL VESSELS Federal Anthorities Instruct Astoria Quarantine Station to Proceed With Work Costa Rica First Ship Affected. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) Dr. 4. M. Holt, who is In charge of the Columbia River Federal Quaran tine Station, received a telegram this afternoon from Surgeon-General Wy man, stating that the plan sug gested by him to fumigate all coast wise vessels at least once each month in order to kill the rats as a precau tionary measure against the possible spread of bubonic plague has been ap proved, and the new regulation goes Into effect at once. Dr. Holt is authorized to employ an acting assistant surgeon to assist him in the work. The surgeon will be ap pointed for each vessel as It arrives, and the officer will be on salary from the department only while actually em ployed. Least Possible Delay to Traffic. In' order to facilitate shipping as much as possible, arrangements have been made to fumigate the regular liners and other cargo vessels en route to Portland at that port after the car goes have been removed. The flrst vessel affected by this reg ulation Is the steamer Costa Rica, which arrived this afternoon, and Dr. F. V. Mohn went on board to fumi gate her after her cargo Is discharged in Portland. The regulations require that the fumigation must be done once a month by the Government quarantine officers at whatever port the vessels may be In, a certificate from one quarantine station being a clearance at other ports which the vessel may visit with in the prescribed time. This applies to craft plying between any two port3 on the Coast. Also, all vessels when moored at a wharf must have "rat funnels" on their lines at least six feet . from the wharf. Another regulation which goes Into effect this evening is that all vessels arriving from San Francisco must stop In the quarantine grounds and await inspection, the same as craft coming from a foreign port. Notice to this effect was received by Dr. Holt late this afternoon. Pnblic Xeed Not Feel Alarmed. In speaking of these regulations Dr. Holt said the public should not be alarmed by them. In fact, the public should feel safer that they are In ef fect. The regulations are simply pre cautionary. There has been at least one death from bubonic plague in San Francisco, and the marine 'hospital ser vice is taking every precaution to pre vent a possible spread of the disease.

It is true that strength of the muscles, cords and sinews must be built upon the foundation of a good vitality, but. on the other hand it is most easily undermined when the vitality is impaired. I would rather choose a man that I knew had true vigor, that I knew had undergone 110 early dissipation, that had no spermatorrhoea, varicocele or hydrocele, and who was not suffering from any latent disease such as contracted disorders and contagious blood poison.

Weakness Wrecks Men's Lives Many a youth of splendid promise has failed because of some weakness the nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until it had become serious, and greatly injured his life's opportuni ties. I have seen thousands of these cases, and have heard the story of their suffering. Usually there is also a history of incompetent treatment by family doctors, patent medicines, electric belts, and un principled medical institutes and so-called "specialists."

It removes the infection and inflammation be fore that vital renter, the pros tate jfiand, can become involved. To many men it means the dif ference between perfect health and a lifetime of misery and function al weakness. My method is mine alone. My treatment is original. In some features it resembles the ordinary. In its chief essentials it is different. In results it is en tirely different. It is safe, prompt and thorough. The above, together with Or ganic Weakness, Nerve Debilita tion. Lost Vigor, Specific. Blood poison. Stricture, Piles and Reflex Ailments, constitute my specialty and are the only diseases I treat.
