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.
Being pretty Is merely a matter of
pride, pretense and practice.

WALLOWA RANCHER WILL
XOT IlLOCK O. It. & X.
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.

IX)U IPPKIt HIVKIt.
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

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.
