GLAGSTONE LOSES
IE BY 18 VOTES
Republican Nomination for
Governor of Idaho Goes to
v John M. Haines.
OFFICIAL COUNT SURPRISES
Boise Man Outruns Bonner County
Candidate Who Long Had Lead.
Folitical Excitement Most In
tense Throughout Count.
BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 10. (Special.)
By a plurality of 18. John M. Haines,
of Boise, won the Republican nomina
tion for Governor over Paul A. Clag-
tone. of Bonner County, the official
count received from all the counties to
day giving Haines a total of 12.83!
votes: Clagstone 12,821. while ex-Gov
ernor John T. Morrison, of Boise, was
a close third in the race with iz.3b
votes.
Not since the day following- the pri
mary election in Idaho has political ex
cltement been so Intense or the returns
so closely watched .as yesterday when
the official count of the missing coun
ties began coming in with the returns
swinging first in favor of one candi
date and theif the other.
With Custer and Owyhee Counties to
hear from Clagstone has a lead of 193
votes and his nomination was almost
assured and a number of prominent
people began writing telegrams of con
gratulation to send htm as soon as the
other-reports were received.
Custer Returns Late.
The Custer returns came late in the
afternoon, cutting down his plurality
33 votes.
Owyhee County was the last to re
port, the official returns from that
county giving Haines 249 and Clag
stone 126. thus giving the nomination
to the Boise candidate.
It is conceded, however, that the of'
flcial count by the State Board of Can
vassers will be necessary to absolutely
settle the nomination, as the returns
have been secured over the long dis
tance telephone and errors are bound
to creep Into the transmission of re
turns from so many sources, especially
wnen they have had to be repeated, as
was the case In some instances.
Vote by Counties.
The vote by counties on the three
candidates was as follows:

BROTHERS ROW, SUIT FILED
South Bend Newspaper Men in
'Fight Damages Asked.
SOUTH BEND. Wash., Aug. 10. Earl
M. Connor, former business manager of
the Wlllapa Harbor Pilot, a local paper,
yesterday brought a suit for $7000 dam
ages against his brother Editor Edwin
M. Connor; John T. Welsh an attorney
and local political leader, and A. I
McDonald, chief deputy sheriff. The
- suit is the result of trouble In the
.office of the paper on May 25 last, when
' Earl M. Connor was knocked down,
beaten and kicked and the keys of the
office ' taken from him. Edwin and
Welsh are stockholders of the paper
and. it is said they "wanted him out of
the office because he disagreed with
them as to the policy of the paper, and
according to the statements made Dep
uty Sheriff McDonald was secured to
do the heavy work when the keys were
refused by the business manager.
When the trouble occurred. It is
charged, McDonald knocked Earl Con
nor down, kicked him, blackened his
eyes, knocked out some teeth and in
jured his abdomen. The keys were
then taken away from him and he was
arrested without a warrant and thrown
into jail, where he was held for 36
hours without medical aid.
On the following day Edwin Con
nor swore to complaints against his
brother, charging threats against the
' life and property of the editor and his
sister, on the part of the brother, as
well as assaults and attempts to kill,
but Earl Connor was completely ex
onerated in court in the most sensa
tional trial ever held In this county.
He now asks for $4000 personal dam
ages and $3000 for malicious prosecu
tion. . .
WHEAT CROPJUMPER ONE
Tmatilla County Has . 6,000,000
Bushels and Prices Are Good.
PENDLETON, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.)
General crop conditions throughout
Umatilla County have never been bet
ter than this season. Approximately
.000.000 bushels of wheat will be har
vested, with a steady . price between
70 and 73 cents per bushel being of
fered. There is a bumper crop of
wheat, especially in the light lands in
the west end of the county, though a
number of Individual losses have been
sustained in a recent hall storm in the
east end of the county, where the big
gest producers farm. Some disappoint
ment' has been felt by farmers that the
going price Is not 75 cents, though the
present market price is a good one.
Possibly never. In the history of the
county have fruit and vegetable condi
tions been as excellent as this year.
The prices Are very satisfactory and in
some cases a slight increase over for-
mer years. More than BO carloads of
berries and early fruit have been
shipped from the MIlton-Freewater
belt, in the east end of the county, to
Montana and Eastern points, and the
prices procured was very good. Peaches
thus far have proved to be the only
fruit not .bringing a standard price.
Late Spring rains and absence of the
late frosts which often visit this
country have been conducive to
splendid yields.
TAX -FEAR STARTS ACTION
Southern Oregon Company Sues
Sheriff Quine.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.)
To prevent their big acreage of tim
ber land In Douglas County from being
placed on the" 'delinquent' tax list and
asking that their proffered money for
the taxes be held in escrow penning
the result of their ' contest .with the
United States to retain title to their
land, the Southern Oregon Company
has filed a suit in the Circuit Court
here against Sheriff Quine, as tax col
lector. The suit is a sequel to an ap
plication for an injunction filed by the
company in the Federal Court in Port
land a few months ago against the
sheriffs of Coos and Douglas counties,
asking that those officials be restrained
from collecting the taxes until the
rightful ownership of the land had been
determined in the courts.
The Federal Government previously
brought suit against the company to
declare the lands forfeited by reason
of alleged violation of the terms of the
congressional grant by which it was
obtained. This suit is still pending.
Notwithstanding this. Judge Wolver
ton. two weeks ago. denied the writ
of injunction asked for and decreed
that the company should pay Its taxes
the same as If the land title was not
in litigation. The company owes
$11,930 in taxes in Douglas County,
extending from 1910 to 1912, inclusive.
In the suit filed In the Circuit Court
here the company asks for the appoint
ment of a receiver for its tax money,
to be held in trust pending the out
come of the Government's suit. If the
Government wins, the company wants
its money back; if the company wins
then the money shall be turned over to
the Sheriff for the county. It objects
to paying the tax money over to the
Sheriff now, declaring that It would
be without recourse at law to recover
it If the lands involved became the
property of the Government. One al
legation is that If the lands are sold
by the Sheriff in default of taxes and
the United States thereafter recover
title to the land that the county, in
the compulsory redemption of delin
quency certincates. togetner wuu in
terest, would become insolvent.

SOTJTHWEST WASHIXGTOX MEET
HOLDS MUCH PROMISE.
Many Exhibits ot High Class to Be
Shown at Chehalis-Centralla
Exposition This Tear.
CHEHAL1S, Wash.', Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) The prospects for the South
west -Washington Fair this year are
better than in any preceding year' of
the association. From the present out
look it will take only good weather, to
make It an event of historical Impor
tance In this line.
F. A. Degeler, of Centralia, superin
tendent of the. department for fruits,
vegetables and grains and also of the
apiary department, reports to George
R. Walker, general secretary of the
association, living In Chehalls, that
everything in his line shows up ex
cellently. . For example, there are already pre
pared 11 varieties of oats In the sheaf,
12 varieties of wheat, several of bar
ley, all varieties of grasses grown in
this vicinity, and rye. There is a sam
ple of the last named 8 feet and 1
Inches tall. This year the quality of
all these Is above the average.
The showing for fruits and vege
tables IS high, many of the smaller
varieties of the former being already
preserved for exhibition. - On account of
the recent rains, many have thought
the potato crop this year would be
small, but Mr. Degeler thinks other
wise. From the letters being received
by him concerning potato dlspjays and
the information contained In these let
ters from all parts of Southwest Wash
ington, the frop will be one of the
best. This applies both in regard to
quantity and quality as well.
The race track is in very good con
dition and Secretary Walker reports
that a fine string Of horses Will be
at the fair. The inquiries are coming
in at a rapid rate In this department.
Everything this year will be on a
larger scale than before. The fair will
be held from September 30 to October
5, and all indications now point to the
most successful year in the history of
the association. One of the principal
Influences which will cause this is the
manner in which' the beads of the var
ious departments are handling their
work.
