At Pilot Rock they met with the Commericial club of that town and discussed means of securing the tourist traffic over the "blue road.' Last evening they attended the meeting of the stockholders of Hap py Canyon in the Commercial asso ciation and. after the formal business, made short talks. They stated thai the Umatilla end of the "blue road ' is in better shupe than it ever has been and complimented 'the county court Warmly upon the improvements! made. "We have learned." said Mr. Wil kins. "that the majority of the tour ist traffic has been going through by the Hcho-lone route over the sand j country instead of going to The Dalles by way of Pilot Rock and Heppner, While our road is not us good as we 1 could wish. It is so much better at thi" I time of year thnn the lower route that there is no comparison.

Presidents Refuse Big Republican Feels Pessimistic Over the Election Mr. Hughes can be elected president, but It is going to take a lot of work by the reunited republican-progressive party to do it The middle west, espec ially, must be aroused from its present good-natured indiffer ence So declared Dr. Nicholas Mur ray Butler, ot New York City, president of Columbia Univer sity, and republican candidate for vice president before the electoral college in 191!!, fol lowing the death of vice presi dent, in an interview at the Benson hotel yesterday. "I have been pretty well over the country and have made a successful study of political conditions,'' said Dr. Butler. "1 think Mr. Hughes will be elected. But it is going to take work and the hardest kind of of work. Let no one be de ceived as to that. There must be no letup in the campaign. "It is not the coast states, both Atlantic and Pacific, that present the difficulty. There must be work there, too, of course, but the voters on the coasts have a oetter realization of the true situation and the trend is very strongly for Hughes. The great problem of the campaign is to bring home the truth to the voters of the middle west, the states from Ohio on the east to Colorado on the west.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.a-RaUway presidents started to the White House determined to refuse Wilson's propo sition. They prepared a statement refusing; to yield the principle of ar bitration. Wilson may present a new proposal. Wilson is determined to effect a settlement. It is understood In has not yet exhausted all his resources. ! He may ask mutual concessions. Railway executives are probably wil ling to concede something. The railway president told Wilson they refused to relinquish their arbi tration demand. WUson replied that that attitude was unfair and Imprac ticable because the trainmen had re- jltclv refused arbitration, PRESIDENTS STATEMENT, ! 'Uson made the statement: "I , recommend the concession of an eight nour oeUevtnir the conrtnlon r"u " " aaoysiea as a basis even where actual work cannot be completed within eight hours. Railroads now having the eight hour day do not seem at serious disadvant age compared with railroads having ten hours. "Only experience can make cer tain what rearrangements are fair for both sides.

It is highly important that I should Personally confer with you or some one authoriied to represent you at the earliest possible moment. Hope you can arrange matters so as to be able to come to Washington Immediately." Wilson Snows Strain. While addressing the presidents this morning for half an hour Wilson Paced the floor in front of the men. He showel plainly the strain he hat undergone during the past week II., declared he would not be "the court.- He said the American people were the Judges.
