NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Myron T. Herrick, former governor of Ohio, said today that the best evidence that Ohio will go Republican is the poll of the railroad . shops in Cleveland which resulted: Taft, 1744; Bryan, 510; doubtful, 491. He says the Re oublicans have decided to put aside factional differences and vote for Taft. He also says the labor people especially feel that' in voting for. Taft they are voting to continue Mc- Kinles ideas ' which brought them out of the depths. Herrick states that Foraker," while not actively en gaged jn the camapign, is , too pa triotic to want to see Bryan win. Herrick says that the tide for Taft has - set in -from, the day he began speaking in Ohio. The appearance of Governor Hughes also, Herrick says, helped the Republicans. . - OPTIMISTIC REPORTS. .

That ' means that the Astoria boys would be away all of next week, ac cording to the present plans. The boys expect to stop off at Salem on the way to Eugene and stay there for a day or so, though nothing but practice games would be played there. ' ' But there may be some hitch in this program. Last night it was re ported among the football boys that at a meeting of the school board yes terday afternoon the question of this trip arose and it is said one or more of the members did not entirely fa vor it. Permission had been asked for leave to go, from the principal of the school, Mr. Imel, and he had made no objections, and a like per mission was expected from the school board. It is said the board was quite wilting that the team should make either the trip o Portland or to Eugene, taking a day for each, but that permission would not be granted them to leave for the en tire week. "'' -. This break in on the plans of the football team is in rather a decided way, and the decision comes as a great' disappointment to the members of the team. In many ways it may seem unfortunate that the board deemed it best to refuse its permis sion, as this' will be probably the only chance the Astoria team will have a tendency to throw ; a little cold water on the athletic activities in the High School. Principal Imel and others have endeavored to create an athletic spirit in the student body, believing it to be a highly important factor in school affairs, and the boys of the football eleven have been taking hold in great shape. If the board has taken any stand on the question of the trip, as stated, perhaps it has been without hearing the boys' side of the matter at least the football joys are hoping that everything will turn out right. Lawrence Rogers is the manager of the Astoria High. While the team does not average very big in weight perhaps about 160 pounds it is said to be a promising eleven. But there isn't any doubt they are going against a strong eleven in the Port land Academy crowd, and the Eu gene players are also said to be husky and skilled. Most of the high school teams off in the interior of the state carry greater weight, too. The socks and jerseys for the Astoria eleven have just arrived. . Purple and gold are the local colors, and the team puts up a natty apearance. Fifteen men were expecting to go on the week's trip. The "line-up will be as follows! if the games are played: ' Parker, full back; E. Short, left half Upshur, right half; Rogers, quarter back; Ross, center; Peschl, left' guard; Jeldness, right guard; Troyer, left tackle; Fulton or Barry, right tackle; Norton, left end; 5. Short o Holmes, right end. Kenneth Parker is the captain. r, FISH COMPOSTS. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Dead sharks and barracouta are being uti lized for enriching the soil in the Australian state of Tasmania, reports Consul Baker of Hobart. About three sharks are used for each tree in the big apple orchards in the vicinity of Hobart for' the purpose of increas ing the yield of apples. Ordinary fish have been utilized in a way for the same purpose in this country. TAFT HAS QUIET DAY. CINCINNATI, Oct. 21. Aside from joining the citizens of the Taft Club of Cincinnati to which he made a noon-day address and reviewing the parade and convention of Ma sons, Judge Taft spent a compara tively auiet day. Dr. Richardson, the throat specialist traveling with Taft savs the Judge is exhibiting wonder ful recuperation powers and believes the candidate will be able to nego date- many of his speaking appoint ments made for him between now and the end of; the campaign. The doctors says that Taft will start to morrow with a good voice and fresh FOUR OR FIVE CASES HAVE BEEN QUARANTINED AS DIPHTHERIA. There seems to be a run of throat sickness in the city that is verging dangerously near an epidemic. , Sev eral cases have been diagnosed as diphtheria by several , physicians, while other cases that seemed to be somewhat similar were not diagnosi ed as this disease by the attending doctors.-,' i ... '. ' .;,'i'; In one or more cases the doctors have disagreed as to the nature of the disease, but according to Dr Clara Reames, the city health oftr cer, there is no question that at least several of the cases are diphtheria. But the sickness, no matter just what it is, seems to be in quite a mild form. , One case in the eastern part of the city was quarantined yesterday afternoon as diphtheria. 'There are four or five houses under quarantine now. "' v , . ". '.:y".i One or more of the physicians have diagnosed the cases they have had as a severe forn of tonsilitis. Dr. Reames yesterday endeavored to make decisive tests, under the microscope and otherwise, but she said there was much difficulty in making satisfactory tests for the tea son that in each case antiseptics had been applied previously by the doc tors in charge, which would have a tendency to destroy the germs that the tests otherwise might show. There is apparently not the slight est danger of a possibility of any se vere epidemic, but it is said to be best to exercise great caution. In Portland there is a mild epidemic of diphtheria. All the "old timers' say that as soon ai the rains set in all the present run of colds and other ailments will pass away. PRACTICAL METHODS. Cruiser Yankee To Be Saved From The Reef She Is On. NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-John Ar buckle, founder of the, Deep Sea Ho tel for working girls and young men, has explained .how he hopes to save the United States cruiser Yankee, which ran aground on the Hen and Chickens reef. In Mr. Arbucklc's own words the method is this: "We will brace the different decks so that the pressure of air will not disrupt them. The hatches and outer points will be made airtight and then the compressors will force the air into the hold of the vessel. The air is lighter than the water, so the water will be forced out We turned on the compressed air into the hold of a steamer that all the other wreckers had abandoned, after spending $150,' 000 and had given up as a hopeless job, and in thirty minutes we raised the $1,500,000 steamer of 12,000 tons.;1 Mr. Arbuckle suggests that the time will come when every passenger steamer will be equipped with air compressors and hatches so construc ted that they can be closed and made airtight immediatejy, the air com pressors started, "And the vessel saved, no matter how large the hole in her hull."
