CATALOGUE OF INSULTS
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Say
Curacoa Is Not CHIIlwc! and In
lean Holland Apologlies Amica
ble Relation Impossible.
WIIJEMBTAD. Curacao. Aug. 1. The
news that President Castro had with
drawn the e"iua.urs of all the Dutch
Consul, and VK-e-Consula ,n,W"""''s
until such time a, the Netherlands gov
ernment apologises for the alleged insults
put upon Ven-7.uel. was received In
Curacao this mornln from the steamer
Dagfred. . .
The mall from the steamer Pae-fred
contained also dtal!s of the letter ent
by the Venezuelan government to the
government of The Netherlands. In
which Venezuela gave a list of the In
juries and Insults to which she has
been subjected at the hands of rhe
Netherlands. This letter ! dated July
' and is from the Venezuelan Minister
of' Foreign Affairs. Jose de Jsus Paul,
to The Netherlands Foreign Minister. J.
R. D. M. Van Pwlnderen.
Did Xot Salute Torts.
Senor Paul says Venezuela considers
It an Insult that The Netherlands cruis
er Gelderland did not salute the porta
of Puerto Cabello and La Guayra on
the occasion of the recent calls, in spite
tar. tHat these nlaces are de-

fended by forts. In spite of this lack
of courtesy, the Gelderland was allowed
to communicate with The Netherlands
Consul at each place, and to take on
board Minister de Reus. Furthermore,
notwithstanding the refusal of the
commanding officer of the Gelderland
to receive on board the harbor officials
of the Venuer.elan government at Puer
to Cabello Bnd Iji Guayra. The Nether
land! Consuls were given each a salute
of seven guns.
Curacao Not Civilized.
Continuing. Senor Paul gives details
of the occurrences at Willemstad that
preceded the departure from that port
of the Venezuelan Consul. Senor J-ope.
comparing them with the attitude of
the Venezuelan government when Min
ister de Reus left Caracas. He says
he considers the expulsion of Senor
Lopez an evidence of lack of civiliza
tion on the part of the people of YVI1
lemstad and Inability of the authorities
to afford proper protection to the Con
aul of a friendly nation.
Asks Slicaf of Apologies.
In conclusion, the Foreign Minister
writes that the position taken by the
colony of Curacao against Venezuela
compromises the friendly relations of
the two states, and demands an apol
. ogy for the insults of M. de Reus to
the Venezuelan nation and the Venezu
elan government: for the fact that the
Gelderland did not salute Puerto Ca
bello and La Guayra. for the attack In
Wlllemstad on the Venezuelan Cons)T.
and the members of his staff and bn
the Consulate, and for the desecration
of the Consular shield, saying that
otherwise friendly relations between
the two countries are impossible.
The colonial government Is In tele
graphic communication with several
st amshlp lines In an effort to get a ves
rt to come to Curacao and take M. de
Reus, the former Minister to Venezuela
for the Netherlands, who was expelled by
President Castro, to some point where
b can take a steamer to Holland. The
difficulty is that practically every steam
er leavlrg here touches at a Venezuelan
port and this the Minister does not deslr
to do.

Score of Men Save Valuable Timber
'ear Town, of Elbe.
TACOMA. Wash.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
For three days 20 men worked almost
continuously in the woods between Elbe
and Ash ford extinguishing a forest fire.
It was not considered safe to leave the
fire until last night. Nearly 80 acres
were covered by the fire, but the timber
is not considered very valuable, although
the fire worked its way to the edge of
valuable timber before being extin
guished. The men carried their rations and water
with them and worked almost continu
ously. r. S. Simons, chief fire warden,
and L. L. Thorpe, fire ward?n in this
county, were there nearly all of the time
and directed the worl.. Mr. Simons ex
perimented with chemicals, which worked
very succesbtully.

MARSH FIELD, Or.. Aug. 1. (Spe

but lias changed its course in the last
few hours, turning from the direction
of Kerndale toward West Marshfl"ld,
threatening the homes on the moun
tainside. The fire la not near the center of the
town or business section, but In the
residence portion, where several dwelling-houses
are endangered, among;
them Professor Golden's. principal of
the Marshneld High School, which Is
now surrounded on all four sides with
burning forest.
Every effort Is being made to save

FOREST FIRE THREATENS CITY
Only Sudden Change of Wind Saves
Iklali, Cal.
FKIAH. Cal.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
With fire bells clanging and excited
horsemen dashing through the streets,
summoning aid. several hundred men
turned out this afternoon to fight the
forest fires that have been threatening
I'kiah for two days and a night. The
wind suddenly veered to the south and
west late this afternoon, and gave the
city a bad scare. The hills sloping down
to the city on the west have been a rag
ing sea of flames all night and today,
making the air fairly suffocating. When
the change In the wind drove th fire
straight toward the town and set fire
to fencing, barns and stockpens, men on
horses and In wagons rushed to fight the
flames. On the second alarm the fire
department turned out and there was a
big rush from all over town to the film
ing foothills.
People got out garden- hose and wet
down roofs and fencing to prevent
danger from flying embers. Many house,
holders in the western part of the city
moved their household goods out of
doors, fearing destruction of their homes.
Despite a hard fight, the fire caught and
consumed several buildings. Back-firing
saved the city from a conflagration.
Tonight the whole country to the west
of Vklah and three miles to the south
is on fire and is Illuminated as far as
the eye can see. Cattle and deer and
other wild animals are being driven Into
the valley by the Are. , ,

early hour this morning fire was dis
covered In the forest of Palomas Moun

a strong west wind and against all their
efforts, and at 11 o'clock some 200 acres
of the finest trees to be found In South
ern California had been destroyed. The
rangers have called on all the people
of that section of the country for aid,
but at the time of the Inst report hope
of stopping the blaze was slight.
The fire started at the western side
of the forest and Is burning toward
garner's Hot Springs. There are many
Summer campers on the mountains and
the fire was probably started by care
lessness on some one's part.

OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
The card Index system of politics which
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republican
National Committee, has decided to
adopt for the present campaign, has
been usd In Nebraska for the pasi ten
years. Mr. Hitchcock has taken the
Nebraska idea complete and will use it
as his chief weapon In the fight to
seat Taft in the Presidential chair. The
card system was studied out by the
late Edward Rosewater. editor Omaha
Bee and the most astute politician this
Western country ever saw. To his son.
Victor Rosewater. head of the Repub
lican party. In Nebraska and now editor
of the newspaper founded by his father,
was given the task of working out
the details of the system which has
proven so potent in the fights In which
it has been used as to be made the
mainstay of the Republican hosts dur
ing the present National campaign.-
When this card system was first In
troduced In Nebraska, the state had
Just given a Democratic majority of
1.1.000; ten year's later, during which
time the new system had been worked
out and elaborated, the state gave the
Republican ticket a majority of Sfi.OOO.
So much for the effectiveness of the
system. It took a number of year to
get this system In perfect running or
der, but when It was completed, it was
the most complicated thing In the way
of a campaign system ever framed.
The men behind the system believe they
will be able to systematize the entire
country In a few weeks' time, using the
years of study on the part of the Ne
braskans who worked out the system.
Rosewater Explains It.
Victor Rosewater. member of the ex
ecutive committee of the Republican
National Committee, and the man who
perfected the Idea of the card system,
has this to say of It:
"With that system we can tell at a
glance practically everything connected
'with any voter in the country. We have
his age. his religion, his financial con
dition, his friends, his secrets, and. In
fact, just about everything it Is possl
ble to learn of him.
- "When a new man comes into i
county, or when a young man becomes
of age. a card goes in for him. If he
gives a mortgage on his farm or his
business, we note it on the card. Also,
we note the holder of the mortgage.
If he has any particular fad. it goes
on the index card. If he is a chicken
fancier, we note it. If he's a Methodist.
we know It. If he's a Baptist, it goes
down on the card. If his parents were
foreigners, we know all about It. We
know his friends and his enemies, his
strength and his weakness: In fact, we
know the voter thoroughly. This ap
piles to Republicans, Democrats. Popu
lists. Socialists all parties. All are
the same to the Index.
"Now then, for the application of the
index. A campaign comes on and we
get busy. Perhaps some of our own
party are In rebellion. We get their
names, look them up in our index and
find who and what can influence them.
We can send their friends to them, and
we can send people with the same ideas
on other subjects that the Insurgent
holds. We can possibly send the man
who holds the mortgage on his place to
talk a little with him.
Use Religion as Weapon.
"Men of his own religion can be sent
to him in fact knowing him like a
book, we can send just those people
who can Influence him. If we can't
get him that way, he simply cannot be
had.
"And on election day our workers
have a complete list of every voter en
titled to vote in that precinct. The
list is annotated In such way that the
worker knows Just exactly what to do
and what Is being done. Absolutely
nothing is left to fhance. We know.
"During the present campaign there
will not be as many brass bands nor
as much red fire as during the usual
campaign, but the country will be gone
over with a fine-toothed comb in a
manner never before undertaken. It
will be a campaign for the individual
vote and will be the most thorough
ever waged in this or any other coun
try." And this is the system Chairman
Hitchcock picked up out here on the
plains and upon which he is depending
for victory.

The announcement of Eilers Piano
House on page 5, section 1. to. sell an
even hundred fine, brfnd new. highest
grade pianos for less than what instru
ments of similar grade and quality
have ever heretofore been offered in
this oi anv other city, and at the same
time to sell them on payments of $5.10
down and $1.00 a week. Is bound to
arouse unparalleled interest.
The mere mention of the fact that
the finest selected instruments of the
'our leading and largest piano makers
of the United States will be offered for
sale at cut prices will be sufficient to
start a stream of piano Buyers to 3."3

everything Is obtainable for less money
than can be secxired at any other store

Institutions Interested in the crop re
ports that are dally coming from the
three prairie provinces of the Canadian
West incline to the belief that there
will be a wheat yield of at least 120.
000,000 bushels from these provinces
this season. As to the prospective
price of wheat, some have mentioned
80 cents, but the money men who are
Interested in handling the Western
crop think that 75 cents will be a good
price.
Officials have also been looking over
the area under oats, barley and flax,
and It is stated that the yield of oats
will be fully 100.000.000 bushels, and
that of barley at least 25,000.000 bush
