17 T.G.BURKE RETURNS; TALKS ON POLITICS Elihu Root and C. E. Hughes Strong Republican Pres . idential Candidates. DEMOCRATS FOR WILSON TEACHERS AND STUDENTS JOIN IN REED CARNIVAL Various Unique Attractions and Entertainment Features Net $177 to Go Toward Paying Debt Incurred in Publishing Last Year's Annual. East Believes New Era of Prosper ity Here Romance at White House Said to Hare Popular Appeal Roosevelt Is Quiet. "Charles K. Hughes and Elihu Root are mentioned most prominently for the Republican nomination for President, the Democrats will consider no one to succeed President Wilson but himself, while Theodore Roosevelt appears to have been retired for the present, at least from publio notice," declared Thomas C. Burke, collector of customs for the Oregon district, yesterday upon return to hie desk after a Etay of a month. In New York and Washing ton. r. C. Mr. Burke went to New York to at tend a conference of the customs col lectors of the country and to Washing ton to present the "Treasury Depart ment, which is presided over by his brother, John Burke, with data pertain ing to the Columbia River customs boundary case. Air. Blackwood, special deputy at the Port of Seattle, was also at Washington urging .that the boun dary be kept where it is, in the channel of the river. Boundary Hinders Commerce. Mr. Burke contended that the present boundary is a hindrance to the com merce of the Columbia, because foreign vessels are penalized in some instances to the extent of $1000 or more in clearing away from the Washington bank and that every town on the north bank of the Columbia River is anxious to be annexed to Oregon. Seattle's in terest In. the commerce of the Columbia 1h such, he declared, that she would block the mouth of the river it she could. Sir. Burke says the decision of the department may be announced soon. "While in conversation with Jonathan Bourne, at Washnigton. he said that a dozen or more Republicans were being groomed for the Presidential nomina tion and that the more the merrier and the better,". saT3 Mr. Burke. "Among the Republicans the names of Root and Hughes are mentioned more prominently than any of the other possibilities. 1 heard very little about Theodore Roosevelt. For the time being he seems to have been crowded out of publtc notice, but of course there's no telling when or at what place a man of his physical and mental energy win break out. Some seem to feel he will be a factor in some form or other In the National campaign next year. Wilson Believed Strong;. "The Democrats believe . that the sentiment of the country is with the President, not only because of the leg islation he has been able to get through on behalf of the country at large, bus also because they believe the future security of the country is safe In his hands. Therefore, no other man Is con sidered ' by the Democratic to succeed Woodrow. Wilson except himself. "The generr.1 feeling in the East Is that the country is becoming more set tled In Its business relations and that danger of war has already pasBed, in sofar as this country is concerned. The belief is that a new era of prosperity is setting In all over the country. This Improvement will not be felt so soon In this Western country because the principal industry, lumber, is hit the hardest by the general disturbance." . ' Romance Increases Popularity. Mr. Burke is quite certain that the President's romance and approaching marriage have Increased his popularity. "The element of romance recently discovered In the President seems to have appealed favorably to the Imag ination of the country. This is true more particularly because the an nouncement was not made until after the great diplomatic victory was as sured fen his controversy with foreign powers and the safety of the country became a settled fact. "The people, apparently, feel that he had a right to be happy at the con clusion of such an event. He seems to have the sympathy of the country In the personal happiness which, has come to him." til r --i- lr V - ( - - y . 0 y ? If Top, Rath rant and Lucille Stanton. Below, Adolph Frtcdenthnl as Jamba the Wild Man. BEAUTIES, beasts and myriads of other attractions were combined to make the annual Reed College Carnival the gayest event of the sea son.

VAST AREA REPRESENTED EXHIBITS I LAND SHOW MADE BY 23 COUNTIES. 0.-W. R. ft H. WILL ENTER CORN BOOTH AT LAND SHOW TO DEPICT CAMPAIGN PROGRESS. Quality and Average Yield to Acre Re ntal Possibilities of Cultiva tion In Northwest. The Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company will have a corn booth at the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show, where samples of corn grown In different counties reached by the lines, both eastand west of the Cascade Mountains, will be exhibited. The marvelous improvement both in quantity and quality of corn being grown in the Pacific Northwest largely it due to the strenuous corn campaign the O.-W. R. & N. has carried on for the last four years. This exhibit will exemplify the advantages of careful seed selection and the use of acclimated seed. The question "Can corn be success fully and profitably grown in the Pa cific Northwest?" has been answered in the affirmative, as demonstrated by the samples of corn shown at county, dis trict and state fairs this season. The quality of corn and the yield to the acre indicate that with properly selected seed, well-prepared ground and thorough cultivation, an acre of corn not only produces more stock feed, but in reality is one of the most profitable crops the farmer can grow in rotation with grasses, small grain or vegetables.
