Chicago, Aug. 31. -Preparation were completed today for the open ing of republican national headquar tt rs hero. . The offices of the commit, tee are In the Auditorium hotel, Chi eago's principal 'hont?lry. The enm paign for making the next congress republican in its political complex Ion will be directed from this city. The campaign of the republicans, both presidential and eongresslonal, will soon be In full swing throughout the west. The western literary bur eau, In charge of Victor Rosewater, publisher of the Omaha Bee, Is now sending out literature and If suffic ient funds can be secured, the west ern country will be plastered wit republican arguments In the shape of leaflets and pamphlets. It Is admitted that the campaign managers will have hard work to hold several western states In the re publican column. Conditions In Min nesota and Indiana, especially, are causing the republicans considerable worry. While the managers declare they will carry both states for Taft, they do not minimize the necesslt for hard work. Methods of raising money for cam paign purposes are still a source of worry to the campaign managers. Speaking of the cost of conducting the campaign, a prominent republican today said that $100,000 to 1500,000 would be needed to defray the trav- , ellng expenses of speakers, and that It would cost at least J200.000 to put one piece of literature In the hands ol every voter. He fixed the cost of campaign but tons at more than 175,000, and said that other large sums would be need ed for the expenses of headquarters, lithographs and advertising. Thet. there are other matters that will be costly Where all this money Is to come from, now that the corporations are excluded from making campaign con tributions, is a matter of conjecture. It Is likely that the original estimates will have to be greatly reduced. Xo speakers who demand large pa for their services will be hired and the campaign in other lines will have to be conducted on the most econom ical basis possible, In order to make both ends meet. AilllEDlH OF SPOKANE PLAINS FIGHT The fiftieth anniversary of the bat-i tie of "Spokane Plains," the last no-j table buttle between the Indians andj the federal troops, which occurred in j the vicinity of this city on the 5th of .September, 1858, may be observed by some of the hisotorical organizations , o: this city next month, says the Spo- j kane Chronicle. j From observations taken by the ; federal troops at the time of the con-j fiict the battle occurred on-the plain west of the city, about where the, Hazlewood ranch is now located. The . fighting started Just north of the j north end of Silver lake, and as the j troops were traveling north, there was a running fight nearly to Fort George Wright. The Indians set fire j to the grass and at one time the wa gon train was seriously menaced. Brigadier General Geo. B. Dandy, retired, who was at that time a lieu tenant of artillery. Is a living author ity for the statement that the corral and quartermaster's stores were lo cated on the flat Just opposite . the north end of the foot bridge leading from Xatatorium park to the Fort Wright reservation. The troops camp ed on the upper bench'. The expedition remained there all day September 6, with Indian scouts on the east side of the river, where the homes of Sherwood, Sehermer horn, Sonnemann and ohers are now located, but they made no attempt to renew the fighting:. Powwow in fiKkane. On the morning of September 7 Wright broke camp, marching up the nest side of the river, crossing the mouth of Hangman creek, up through Peaceful valley, through the gully where the Terminal building now stands, and came up to the level of the falls. About noon of that day Wright had a conference with the Spokane Chiefs Garry and Pohlatkin, somewhere about the location of the present Olive street bridge, at which conference Wight laid'down his ultimatum, tell ing the Indians that he did not come to make peace but to fight. "I have whipped you In two bloody battles. Now if you want peace you must come to me with all your wo men and children and lay them at m7 feet," he declared. When the United States government after the treaties with the different tribes negotiated by Governor Isaac I Stevens, dallied in confirmation, the Indians of the Walla Walla and Yaki ma valleys became restive, as they saw the white settlers pouring through the Whitman pass of the Rockies. The sulking of Kamlahkln of the Yakimas and of Yellow Serpent of the Walla Walla valley are well known. In the fall, of 1857, a swoop was made upon Fort Walla Walla by the Palouse Indians, and not only govern ment property was stolen, but the stock of settlers In the disputed terri tory was taken. Major E. J. Steptoe of the ninth Infantry, early In 1858 recommended a peaceful, expedition to ham the situation with the Spokane, Coeur d'Alenes and Pend Orellles. He found out near Rosalia, where he lost a number of privates and two commissioned officers killed, many wounded .and the entire column es caped only by the superior Indian fighting qualities of the Xez Perce Timothy. Too Many Orrii-w. Bend people have circulated pe titions all over the county asking that the office of roadmaster be abol ished, says the Prlneville Review. They argue that the official's salary, $1200, could be better expended by supervisors over contractors than to employ roadmasters, supervisors and contractors. There have been many good roads built since the roadmaster took charge of the office, but the work was In every instance let to contractors who constructed them under his supervision. The standard for roads has been set now and doubt less would be followed by the con tractor without the roadmaster. The petition will be presented to the county court, which body will con sider It. Veterinarians for the Islands. The war department has received from Manila a request for If veteri narian surgeons for duty In the Philippines. The Philippine govern ment has recently been making ef forts to stamp out diseases of the horses and the caribou In the islands. At no previous time has such a large number of veterinarians been called for at one time. The Philippines as sembly recently voted a large sum for this purpose, and as the civil service commission recently certified a long list of names for these places prompt response will be made to the requisition.

The threatened delay of the rail road by Hector McDonald and pos sibly other landowners between Wal Iowa and the canyon, asking damages or more money for right of way across their land, Is reported as having been adjusted, and that McDonald and the other owners would ma He no further move to restrain the laying of the track, says the Enterprise News-Record. The hint of trouble from this cause, created no little excitement In Wal lowa Tuesday and Wednesday. There were broad insinuations of a scheme behind the move, such as stopping the road at Wallowa for the winter, or the location of a new townslte near the head of the canyon. If there Is anything In the matter other than appears on the surface, the citizens of Wallowa are in Ignor ance of It, for , they were indignant and alarmed at the prospect of con struction work being stopped entire ly There was danger of that It ls be lieved, for the officers In charge of the work said the O. R: & N. would not force the railroad on this county when such actions Indicated the peo ple did not desire the road. THE SHOW SHOP Cor. Main & Court Sts. A. C. Friedly, Mgr.

For passenger, mall and express service between Kenncwlck and Rich land the fastest boat on the Pacific coast has been secured and will be put In commission on the Columbia river within the next two weeks, says th,e Kenncwlck Reporter. Such Is the announcement of Howard Amon of the Benson Water company who re turned from the sound yesterday. The "Tilllcum," a motor boat of 60 horse power, was purchased this week by the Benson Water company and Is to bo delivered In Kennewlck somo time next week. With the Immense business that will be created by the construction of the Grosscup canal and the conse quent Influx of people, together with the promotion work being done by the Benson water company operating a canal In Richland at the present time, It is evident that fast transportation will be a necessity and the progres sive owners of the townslte of Rich land ami the surrounding country have provided the boat for the ac commodation of tho traffic. In addition to the motor boat the Benson Wuter company has ordered a handsme White Steamer automobile which will also do duty between Ken newlck and our neighbor a few miles up the river. IIER.MISTOX HHIt A LI) IRGES FAIR KXIIIRIT It is scarcely more than a month before the third annual exhibi tion is held of the Third Eastern Ore gon District Agricultural society at Pendleton, says the Hermlston Her ald. Greater preparations are being made In this part of the state than ever before and especially Interested are the many farmers and fruit rais ers of the west end of Umatilla coun ty. Echo and Irrigon are gathering their best products together and plac ing it in cold storage, and It Is an ex cellent exhibit that both enterpris ing towns promise to have. It is up to Hermlston to fall In line and . prove to a questioning public that horticultural and agricultural products havo actually matured on this heretofore sage brush waste. There Is scarcely a settler on the project who has not one or more va rieties of growth to show and If each would become sufficiently Interested we could make an exhibit that would be very creditable for ti valley so re cently put under cultivation. If you have anything to offer or know of some one who has, notify the Herald office and disposition will be made of it. ShlpiMMl 1000 I lend of Cuttle.
