TATF AHEAD IN STRAW VOTE.
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. . -

SCHOOL BOARD IS SAID TO BE
OPPOSED TO WEEK'S
JOURNEY
The' Astoria High School football
team has planned to go, to Portland
next Monday to play the eleven of
the Portland Academy on that day,
and from there the team is scheduled
to go to Eugene to play the Eugene
High on the Saturday following.
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."
