A Pioneer of '53.
It was in 1863 that George H.
Himea first passed through this re
gion and he was then one of a party
of 16 coming overland from Illinois
and other middle western state. When
the Hlmes party set forth from Illi
nois they were accompanied by but
one other family. But as the Journey
progressed others joined and before
the end of the trip there were 164
people In the caravan. According to
Mr. Hlmes, undying friendships were
formed during those days and the ties
have never been broken. Between the
adults of the party the greatest de
gree of friendship continued to exist
until death finally claimed all the
older member of the party. Between
the younger people of the party the
friendships formed upon the plains
have also been continued.

mer.
Chicago, Sept. 28. The cross ex
amination of State Representative
White occupied most of today's ses
sion of the senatorial investigation
committee. White denied he had
tried to blackmail Lorimer saying he
wrote to Lorimer regarding the al
leged $1,000 offer for his vote to
make Lorimer commit himself. Sena
tor Frazler Joined the committee to
day.
Senator Paynter asked White If he
would have accepted $750,900 If Lori
mer had offered It to buy his story
of the alleged bribery and existence of
a "jackpot" to purchase votes for
Lorimer. White replied he did not
know but if he had accepted the mon
ey he would sold the story to some
one else. The committee member
showed plainly they did not regard
White with favor.
FINDS TOY STHP IN MIDSEA.
English Yachtsman lias Curio In Col
lection. London. Lord Brassey who Is once
more cruising In his famous yacht,
the Sunbeam, possesses at his house
In Park lane a curio In the shape of
a child's toy schooner, which he pick
ed up while cruising on the Sunbeam
In the Southern Indian ocean, miles
and miles away from the beaten track
of passenger steamers. No other craft
of any kind was at the time In sight'
and how the toy ever reached those
latitudes is a mystery of the ocean.
After his return home Lord Bras
sey who was sure the tiny ship had
been made by some English toy mer
chant took the trouble to advertise In
newspapers In various parts of the
world hoping to discover the owner'
and so solve the mystery but all in
vain so far, no clue as to where It
came from has ever been obtained.
Alter British System of Weights.

TARIFF LAW

Roosevelt Calls Meeting to Order
and Root Is Elected, Permanent
Chairman Recommends Adoption
of Initiative, Referendum, and Di
rect Primary.
Saratoga, Sept. 28. The plat-
form adopted by the convention
today staggered the Roosevelt
adherents. The expectation was
that the platform would be of
the extreme insurgent type so
that the Taft and tariff en-
dorsements plainly disgusted the
radicals. It is rumored that
Taft and Roosevelt have reach-
ed an understanding that here-
after the progressives and not
the regulars will be the big fac-
tors In affairs of the national
government. It is asserted
Roosevelt and Taft will accept
Insurgents of the Cummins-
Dolllver-Brlstow type but don't
care to meet LaFollette's positl-
on. The colonel refused to com-
ment on this rumor.
Saratoga, Sept. 28. Taking the
keynote from Colonel Roosevelt's
speech declaring war on corrupt pol
iticians and business, the committee
on resolutions presented the party
platform today to the convention for
ratification. The report contains an
enthusiastic endorsement of the Taft
administration, the Payne tariff law,
and lays the cost of high living to
world wide conditions and not to the
protective law. The report was
threshed out last night and finally ad
opted by the committee by a vote of
22 to 15. It says: "We enthusiasti
cally endorse the statesman-like pro
gressive leadership of President Taft
and point with pride to the achieve
ments of his first IS months of ad
ministration. The Payne tariff law re
duced the average rate of duty 11
points and turned a deficit Into a cur
plus. Unlike the Wilson law, the great
reduction did not scop Industry and
did not deprive labor of any part of
Its hire."
Continuing they said: "The advanc
ed cost of living Is only a local re
fection of a world wide tendency and
cannot truthfully be laid to the tariff
law."
Roosevelt arrived at the hall and
exultantly called the convention to
older at 11:20. The regulars were
more defiant than before.
It was very plain that Roosevelt
will continue to control the conven
tion. The regulars take the stand that
as Roosevelt nominate the candi
dates he can elect them also. The
looks like there will be a split that
will help the democrats In the fall
election.
Senator Root was made permanent
chairman. In a brief speech he said
the people demand the initiative and
referendum and the direct primary,
and recommended the party endorse
these measures.

TESTED ON STUDENTS
Palo Alto, Sept. 28. A squad of 20

ARE DECIDED
Enough Returns in From Over

ed Bean and McBride are far In

County.
Le.te but still Incomplete returns
from over the state do not make any
change In the results of the state tick
et as already announced. Lafferty is
still far in the lead of Ellis for the
republican nomination for congress
for the second district. Hawley has
beaten Mulkey In the first district.
Bowerman I approximately 3000 votes
to the good in the race for governor.
Dr. Harry Lane is leading John
Manning for the democratic nomina
tion for congress for the second dis
trict, though the reports are as yet
very meager.
West I Safe.
Oswald West seems to have a safe
majority for the democratic nomina
tion for governor, he having, so far
as reported, been given 3796 votes to
1942 for Myers.
There is no doubt about the nomi
nation of Kay for state treasurer nor
of Benson for secretary of state.
Judges Bean and McBride have won
the four year term nominations for
supreme judge, while Judges Burnett
and Moore were given big votes for
the six year terms.
Hart has been badly beaten by
Crawford for attorney general, while
Duniway for state printer snowed
Clarke, his assembly opponent, under
an avalanche of votes.
The Total Vote.
Following is the total vote reported
for each candidate on the state ticket
in those cases where there was oppo
sition between two-or more candidates.
The reports are meager, though from
a majority of the counties. Complete
returns have been compiled from a
few of the counties, unofficial return
from several others and scattered re-
turns from a number of the remaining
counties. While the report Is meager
I. is still sufficiently large to show
the nominations in all cases, unless it
be between John Manning and Dr.
Lane for the democratic nomination
for congress from the second district,
and O. P. Hoff and George M. Orton
opposing candidates for labor com
missioner. It is possible that full re
ports might change the final result
In these two cases but it Is more like
ly that these reports will simply re
sult in change in majorities. The
votes are as follows:

BAKER CITY FOR
COMMISSION PLAN
VOTES OCT. 3 OS ADOPTION
OF A NEW CHARTER
People Will' Decide Whether or Not
Des Moines Plan or City Govern,
ment Shall Supercede Present One.
Baker City, Ore. Sept. 28. A special
election will be held in this city Oc
tober 3 to decide whether Baker City
shall adopt the commission plan of
government. The proposed charter
has been distributed to the voters. An
invitation was extended to Mayor J.
R. Hanna of Des Moines to address the
voters on his western tour, but he was
unable to do so.
The new charter provides that the
city shall be governed by a mayor and
two commissioners, the mayor to re
ceive $2500 and the commissioners
$2000 yearly. Ward lines are abolish.
ed, except for registration and politics
is eliminated.
The mayor will have charge of pub
lic affairs, finance, police and pound,
municipal court, public buildings,
parks and library and general super,
vision of all undelegated authority;
commissioner No. 2 will have charge
of highways sewers and lighting;
commissioner No. 3 will have charge
of water, fire and sanitation.
The new charter provides for the
Initiative, referendum and recall. The
commissioners must meet daily and
while not engaged in office work, as
sume the foremanshlp of work In their
departments.
Ordinances can not be passed at
one meeting, all franchises must be
submitted to a vote of the people, and
the tax levy can not exceed the pres
ent limit of 20 mills.
Bonds can not be Issued to an
amount exceeding 4 per cent of the
assessed valuation of property within
the city.
Quarterly financial statements are
required of all the commissioners, and
they are held directly responsible to
the people for the conduct of all af
fairs in their department.
Under the commission plan of gov
ernment the additional expense would
I be about $2000 yearly, but it Is esti
mated that the business methods em
ployed by the commissioners would
save the taxpayers more than this
amount.
