Troop XMl AMorla. The whole forca was absent from 'camps today, while participating in the blr military pajteant at Astoria. An exceptional appearance was made by the Oreron soldiers In the procession and continuous applause wss won by them all along tha route. Ths troops were allowed to remain at Astoria un til 11 P. M- Efforts of four Government tuits to Blip past Fort Stevens under cover of darkness failed completely when the tiny fleet made a covert dash at 1 clock this mornlnr. Hugging the Shore opposite the coast batteries and worklnir In and out amons; the deep black shadows of the hills across the water from the fortifications, the tur managed to -et no closer thsn 14.000 .yards before be ins; picked up by the huge searchlight. Tngs Are Found. All nla-ht Ions; the bis; light flashed back and forth across the mouth of the river and far out to sea. A few minutes after S o'clock the eearch Jtght squad located four small black cblieta which were not showing lights. Only afer long observation was the sact nature of the objects determined. Call to arms brought the whole of he fourth Oregon Infantry running to the batteries. In Jsathan IS minutes from the time the bmt were dis covered, monster ten-Inch rifles and Il-lnch mortars were hurling volleys of hypothetical esploslve" hrlla. The tugs turned tall and fled but failed to evade the glaring white light from tha searchlight and In a very short time were declared out of commission and at the bottom of the Columbia. Purine pw forenoon the troops at bth ramps were given the final drllla ef the instruction period. Company and battalion clone and extended order drills were held at Fort Ftevens, while at Columbia Beach' the third regiment went out by battalions and engaged In reconnaissance, advance guard, and rear guard operations Battery A. which has been camped at 'Astoria for the past three dsys. will re turn to the camp at Columbia Beach tomorrow morning to prepare for he fleM operations that open Monday. Monday and Tuesday will make up the maneuver period, all troops return ing home on Wednesday. Although the annual Instruction camp has been largely devoid of spectacular military features the maximum of benefit has been gained by officers and men alike and the efficiency of all the organisa tions greatly advanced.

In Apple Culture Add Much to Value of Farm Country. I H'FUM. Wash.. Aug. II. (Special.) There ls.no county In the state of Washington that shows as much di versity In farming as Klickitat County. With a length of JO miles east and west, and an average width of IS miles north and south, bordering on tha caste rrn slope of the Cascade range,, with the Columbia River as its Southern boundary line. It Is not strange that such are the conditions. WTieet and stock-raising were tha principal Industries in. the Ooldendale section, extending later on to the Blckleton country In northeastern Klickitat County. The central section finally developed Into ona of the fruit districts of the state. Until not so many years ago ,the country adjacent to the White Salmon River was known only as a haunt for bear. deer, cougars and other wild ani mals. The Klickitat Indian made thjp valley his hunting grounds, and his log cabin and small clearing can ba found In many places today by pros pective land buyers in search of a home. A colony of sturdy pioneers found their way to the upper valley JS years ago. There the lands along the river are comparatively flat, aome of them being natural meadows. Tha lands were enlarged by clearing the timber around them, and now a picture of prosperity Is presented, while with Irrigation the country Is noted for Its dairy and hay Industries. Early settlers In this part of the val ley planted a few apple trees as an experiment. Aa the fruit Industry gradually became an important factoc on the coast, men of experience noted the adaptability of the soil here for the growing of spple trees and small fruit. and Investments In orchard lands were forthcoming. When It was learned that the hardy varieties of ap ples reached perfect maturity here, ex pert orchardlsts became interested In this section. One or two Investments were made, and what waa considered a high price waa paid for orchard tracts. This waa only four years ago. Today desirable orchard tracts are be ing purchased on every hand, prices never dreamed of being paid for lands that flye years ago could have been bought for one-tenth of tha present values. But credit should be given the early settler who experimented with his small orchard. HORNETS CONTROL STREET Hood River Marshal Stung and Sidewalk Hurried In Eight. HOOP RIVER. Or, Aug. II. (Spe cial.) Tellowjackets In a crevice be neath the board walk at tha west end of Cascade avenue were aroused by small boys yesterday morning and took complete possession of the north side of the street. Pedestrians were forced to take to the opposite sidewalk, and ever then wandering yel'owjackets found several victims. Marshal Lewis waa stung on the nose by a vindictive hornet. Tha Marshal returned to town, obtained a beeman'e mask, gloves and other safeguards, and. armed with a, large bunch of plna shavings, matches and sulphur, pre pared for battle. The fire waa applied and most of tha yellowjackets were killed. However, a few escaped, and were so violent In their attacks that ti e crowd that had collected waa un able to get close enough to extinguish the fire that waa burning the slde vral a; . f i ALLIANCE IS SEEN IH-JDAHO POLITICS Netting of Mormon Vote Is Said to Be Aim of Trio of Ailshie Men. POWER IS UNQUESTIONED Xo Opposition W ill " Be' Made to Borah, but Many Seek Seat or Wallace Senator Brady Again Mentioned to Head Ticket. BT C. E. ARN'ET. " BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 1 J. (Special.) The politicians of the state are talklnr interestedly over a rumored, coalition in 'course of formation rather unusual In -its scope and which will raise, soma fine political Questions. Justice Ail shie Is said to be reaching out for the Governorship. The . Mormona are friendly to his aspirations. Judge Budge, of tha FlfthNJudlclal District, is a Mormon. He has an ambition to acquire membership on the Supreme bench of the atate. ' He is fearful at this time to go beforet the people of the stats lest their tndlgnatlon toward tha Mormon people -iould. be success fully urged against him.. ' ' ' He holda a commission now from tha voters o his district, most of whom are Mormons, which does not expire for two years after the next general elec tion. Justice Ailshie holds a commis sion of the same tenure from the peo ple of Idaho to membership on the State Supreme bench. Attorney-General MrDouga.ll holds a commission which expires a .year from January next, from tha reople of Idaho to tha Attorney-General'e office. He has al waya been satisfactory, to the Mormons. --Soccesslon" Is Seen. The alleged alliance is a deal by which Ailshie Is to run tor Governor." holding on to his Supreme Court loga until ha ia aworn In aa Governor' and then 'appoint Budga to the 8uprem Court bench to fill out his own unex pired term, and McDougall to tha Judgeship of. the Fifth, Judicial Dis trict to serve the remainder of Budge'a term. In that tha Mormona would ba elated by tha suggested programme, this would be a smart political trick for Judge Allah I e to turn, for they are ex tremely anxloua to have one of "our people," aa they are prone to style themselves. '"n the ' State Supreme bench, and no name la more sacred to their distinctive system of faith than the name VBudge." They would ba equally agreeable to General McDougall as Judge of the district where so many of their people live, while not a Mor mon, he la active in their defense and ever ready to offer plausible excuse for their ahortcomlngs. There are some slight obstacles to the plan, however.. While trie combina tion is attractive. It Is not without Daw. Constitution Is Plain Referring to tha point of eligibility to office the Idaho atate constitution says: "No Justice of the .Supreme Court shall ba eligible to any other office of trust or profit under the lawa of tha state during tha term for which he waa elected." There appears to be an awakening everywhere. Idaho included, of repul sion to disrespect of law. fundamental or supplemental. This Is a funda mental provision. It appears to bar the highest official officers of the atate of Idaho from running for office while acting in the high Judicial capacity. Its object when enacted by the constitu tion builders was doubtless akin to their restriction of Assessors and Sher iffs succeeding themselves In office, in tending to remove the faintest taint of suspicion as to favoritism in assess ments, services or decisions from either county or state- officers based on am bitions to serve a personal political end. Other candidates for Governor are aware of this apparent inhibition and their friends are in possession of copies of the contents of tha constitution in this particular. Precedent la Cited. The suggestion of this attitude on the part of Justice Ailshie is not with out Its precedent.. Ex-Justice . Stock slager. in the state campaign of 1906 made a campaign on the Democratlo ticket for Governor refusing persistent suggestions for him to resign before making the race for Governor. While this Is cited aa an Incident against the logic of the Democrata, using It against Ailshie in the election with some de gree of consistency, there Is another bridge to cross before the Judge shall become the candidate of hla party and that la the June, 19H direct primaries. Lieutenant-Governor L. H. Sweetser has already announced his candidacy for Governor, subject to the will of the Republicans of the state. State Audi tor 8. D. Taylor Is regsrded aa In the running and there Is widespread ru mors that ex-Governor James H. Brady, of Pocatello, la again to don the war paint and enter the fight for a vindi cation. , . Borah Is Unopposed. Dr. O. B. Steeley. of Pocatello. has friends for the place, ana ex-Governor John T. Morrison, Montle B. Gwlnn and ax-Mayor John M. Haines, all "of Boise, are mentioned tor th honor. The Senatorial situation at the next general election will not enter Into the gubernatorial fight. That honor will fall to Senator Borah without opposi tion. There will ba no other candidate among the Republicans of idaho for the Senatorshlp. But it will ba different with Senator Hoyburn two years later, and the political optics of many "Oreat-and-Near-Oreal" Idaho statesmen are rigidly riveted on that goal. It Is said sledding shead of the Senator. If he de cides to try for his own successor In If 14. There Is a rumor afloat that ha will soon make known hla intentions to abandon tha Senate and public life. All the Senatorlally-ambltlous within tha Republican party recognise In Jus tice Ailshie an ardent hope that ythe Governorship of Idaho next time will serve him well for the higher honor a United States Senatorshlp two years later. There is reason for apprehension along thla line, for he Is an adept at the game of politics, and may be depended on. if given tha reins of state govern ment, to make tha most of bis oppor tunity. .Another Representative for Idaho en- i ters into this Interesting situation. The new Congressional apportionment gives us a second member In the Lower House. These men will be elected at large at the next state election, after which the State Legislature will di vide the atate Into two Congressional districts.. Congressman Hamer. of Fremont County, probably will be the logical candidate for the southeastern member, although his situation is decidedly un certain. In fact, all situations tremble in .the bslanca before a combination like the one mentioned above. The All-shle-Budge-McDougall alliance will, if put in notion, carry all who do not be come a part of it to utter ruin. No one can stand against It In successful bat tle. There would be a great majority of the solid 20.000 votes of the south east squarely back of the "political pool." and those on the outside could scarcely break in against such odds. Congressman French will doubtless be ona of the nominees at large as his own successor In Congress, and as he Is credited with ambitions to take Hey burn's place in the Senate, he probably will be one who will object to thepro posed deal, because of the added ad vantage the Governorship would give Ailshie In the Senatorial struggle two years later. TAX Off DEATH OPPOSED SEATTLE JUDGE WOULD PROBE "UNDERTAKERS COMBINE." " Burials for County at 910 and $150 Funerals, When. Dead Leave Estates, Are Questioned. SEATTLS Aug. 12. (Special.) Judge Wilson R. Gay, acting in probate proceedings, declared today that it is time for a special grand Jury to Investi gate the so-called 'undertakers' com bine" as evidenced by the late session of the Washington State Funeral Dir rectors' Association. At that conven tion a resolution was passed authoriz ing the establishment of a fund to ap peal to the Supreme Court from deci sion of probate courts reducing alleged excessive charges for burying those who die without heirs. Judge Gay's remarks were made in the course of the settlement of a 300 estate. He refused to allow a bill from an undertaker in which $li0 or half of 'the estate, was asked. "When a milkman spends SO days in the County Jail for conspiring to raise the price of milk to the living. I see nothing inharmonious about sending an undertaker to Jail for conspiring to raise the .price of coffins to the dead," said Judge Gay. "If the press dispatches have re ported correctly the attitude of the undertakers of the state, it is about time ' for a special grand Jury to be called -to. deal with the exactions of the procession. Undertakers willingly bury a certain class of people for 110 and King County pays for it, but when it is apparent that an estate has funds the price is Jumped to $150 or $300 or $400, according to the amount available.
