DEATH OF
TWO HERDERS
One Killed by a Tree An
other Dies Suddenly
of Dropsy.
Two berders in the employ of M.
SCorrlgall looking after sheep in
the Bine mountains in the vicinity
of Sumpter, died during during
the past 10 days, one being killed
by a falling tree while the other
died very suddenly of dropsy.
A man by the name of Richard
son was killed a week ago Satur
day by a Jtree fulling across the
tent in which the unfortuaateman
was sleeping. The faithful sheep
dog met the same fate as his mas.
ter. Kichardsons remains were
buried Dear the scene of his death.
Pat Connelly, the other herder
in the employ of Mr Corrigall
went to Sumpter last Wednesday
and while in town took suddenly
ill with dronsv and died within a
few hours. His remains were
taken to Baker City for burial.
Young Connelly was quite well
known in Heppner.
Platform Adopted by Re
publican Assembly.
High Priced Wheat.
Dollar wheat and $6 flour are again
in sight likewise smaller loaves of
bread for consumers.
With wheat nricet advancing daily
both in Portland and in Ohioago;
with Livernool, Berlin. Paria, Ant
werp and Budapest each giving out an
advanced price for the cereal almost
every day. the outlook for dollar
wheat is very bright.
Millers are today fieely offering
93 cents a bushel for bloestem wheat,
baaed on track delivery at Pottland,
and it is stated that a cent or two
more than this could be readily
obtained for quality above the aver
KO. The Pacific northwest is yielding
its best quality wheat the present
year and therefore it would take
something exceedingly good to range
above the average.
In company with the advance of
three cents a bushel in the price of
wheat today millers announce an
advance of 30 cents a barrel in the
price of patent hard wheat flour for
tomorrow morning. An advance of
25 cent a barrel will be mad at the
aame time in straight grade and 10c
in Willamette valley soft wheat
brands. The latter are still quoted
at a price higher than the best flour.
The Republicans of Oregon, in
assembly convened. reaflBrm their
faith in the principles of the Republi
can party, and with pardonable pride
Doint to the record of its achieve
ments.
We reaffirm our faith in the prinr
cinlea of representative government
and in the maintenance of political
parties, believing that no party ean
maintain its identity or exert its
proper influence for good f overnment
without organization.
As the representatives of the
Repnblican voters of Oregon we find
our warrant for thia assembly in the
express provisions of the preamble of
the lirect primary law. which reads
as follows:
Political parties are usefol and
necessary. The metnoa oi namiiiR
candidates for elective public offices
bv Doiitical parties and voluntary
political orcanizations is the best plan j
yet foond for placing before the
neoole the names of qualified and
worthy citizens from whom the elect
ors may choose the officers of our
Government.
Everv political party and every
voluntary political orsanization hag
the same right to be protscted from
the interference of persons who are
not identified with it as its known
and publicly avowed members, that
the government of the state has to
protect itself from the interference of
persons who are not known and
registered as electors.
We commend as the sentiment of
this assembly the words of Governor
Charles E. Huehes:
I believe in oartv organization and
I desire to see it strong, efficient and
representative
And the expression of Theodore
Roosevelt that:
Voters should be guaranteed the
right to determine within the ranks
cf their respective organizations who
the candidates of the parties shall be.
We laeffirm our faith in therprin-
ciples of representative government
and tne maintenance , of political
parties, believing that no party or
association of men can maintain its
identity or exert its influence for the
principles it; expresses without organ
iaztion ; we believe in the wisdom of
counsel, and as free citizens of a free
government we enjoy the constitutional
right as members of the Republican
party to assemble for the purpose of
adopting a platform, considering the
fitness of candidates, making recom
menlationa to the poepleand perform
ing such other duties as may be
deemed wise and expedient; and that
any infringement npon snch right is a
denial of the wisdom of the founders
of our Government, both state . and
National, and against the rights
guaranteed bv our constitution and a
violation of the real spirit of the
direct primary law. with the funda
mental princirles of which we are in
hearty accord, and believe it should
be supported and obeyed.
We favor the creation of the office
of Lieutenant-Governor of the state,
who shall perform the dntiea of the
Governor in oase of his inability to
act.
We favor the abolishment of all
nseless and unnecessary offices, boards,
commissions and clerkships and for
a just and economical expenditure of
public tnonevs.
We are opposed to the pending bill
providing for the election of delegates
to National conventions of the Repub
lican and Democratic parties at the
expense of the taxpayers. These
delegates are not publio officials, but
are representativees of their respect
ive parties and the taxpayers of the
state should not be called upon to pay
their railroad fare, hotel bills and
other exnenses on these trios.
We favor an appropriation by Con
gress placing the Indian war veterans
of the Pacific Northwest on an equal
itvjwith the veterans of the Civil War
in the matter of pensions.
We favor only' such conservation of
the public resources as will best
develop and settle the country.
We unqualifidely indorse the Ad
ministration of President Taft and
point with pride to the fulfillment by
the National Republican party of the
pledges contained in its last plat
form. We point with pride to the
history of the Republican party and
to the capacity of the party, so often
demonstarted. to solve public questions
and to legislate and administer the
Government in the interest of the
whole people. We affirm our con
tmued loyalty to the principles and
policies of the party, and we mutually
pledge ourselves to the effort necessary
to strengthen the party organization
and to put i nto office men who are
loyal to its principles.

William H. Macfarlane left Panama
on 84 nays' leave of absence, and
when his time is np he will send his
resignation to the Government and
will remain in Portland to engage in
business.
Id Panama Mr. Macfarlane held
the responsible position of inspector
of construction for the Government
works on the Isthmus.
With J. W. Travis and Colonel L.
O. Gurriaus Mr. Macfarlane has
formed the Suburban Home Con
strnction Company, which was incor
porated in the office of the Secretary
of State yesterday.
Mr. Macfarlane savs he is glad to
est awav from Panama, although the
country now, he declares, is cood to
live in. All the rough features of
the pioneering have been overcome,
all the sanitary work has been done,
the place is as civilized as the States.
The first month he was there 240 cases
of yellow fever appeared among the
workers on the Canal. with 80 deaths.
There has not been a single case
since then, he says.
"All the building incidental to the
work of dieging the canal has been
finished." said Mr. Macfarlane. "The
Government has built a new country
there. Every trade under the sun is
represented and' the Government runs!
a bakery, turning out pies and cakes;
his a coffee plant, roasting and sack
i.ig the berries which are bought from
the planters; owns a machine shop.
with which is connected a foundry ;
has built houses, hotels, sheds and'all
the structures that go to make up a
city. In short, you have there an
example of a paternal government.
,yy,v don't need any money to live
there, eitber-rthat 1b, if you have a
Government job. When you go to a
hotel for a meal you present your
hotel book and a coupon is torn out to
represent that meal. It is the same
with a lodging for the night. When
you go lo a store to make a purchase.
you hand over your book and coupons
are torn out to pay for what yon get,
"It is marvelous, the variety of
industries that Uncle Sam is mixed
no in. He built the Tivoli Hotel at a
cost of 280.000, which I superintend
ed, and this is as good a hotel as you
would care to find. He takes care of
the grounds, runs water systems and
liaht . systems and has. two of the
largest power plants in the world.
All these things are run simply to
get the digging of the canal done and
the building of the dam nfiished, and,
let me tell you, it will all be com
pleted by 1915. In reality it will be
done a year earlier, for this is the
time the present Commission has set.
'I have seen three ohief engineers
on the wora since I have been there,
Theodore F. Shoots, John F. Stevens
and Colonel Qoetiials. and the best
of the three was John F. Stevens. He
is the man who originated the system
that is in use today.
" My own work was sort of a general
sunervision of the buildings there. If
some woman thought ber house
should be painted a different color I
was the one whom she had to try to
convince. It didn't do any good, for
the Government decreed that all the
houses should be exactly the same
color inside white ceiling, pea green
walls and brown base, and outside
sort of a slate color. Members of
the 'official classes.' though, might
cho?e their color. These are the raeu
who draw salaries of J 400 or more.
"This was one result of the tender
solicitude exercised by the paternal
Government.
"It rains some down there. The
rainy season lasts from April to
fanuary. and in one month I saw 5S
inches of rainfall. It is hot, too,
about S3 degrees all the year with i
humidity of So. Those are some of
the things that make me triad I am
pot going back, especially since I have
seen Portland and have a chance to
get into part of the business that is
going to make a great city here."

Emigration of hnmeseekers to Can
ada, which has been the subject of
great concern to the administrators of
the public domain,- has turned, in the
ooinion of the officials of the Recla
mation Service. Thousands have
returned and a great many more are
expeoted back soon.
Clarence J. Blanchard. statistician
of tin Reclamation Service, who is
in the field inspecting irrigatiin pro
jects, reports that he has interviewed
many settlers in Montana who had
tried the Caradian experiment, hot
were glad to return home. They
said that practically every American
farmer near Alberta, where the Cana
dian government maintains an irriga
tion project, was anxious to get back
if he could sell his holdings in the
Dominion.
The American settlers wore dis
satisfied with the character of the
lend, the crops whioh thev alleged
consisted principal!? of alfalfa and
such hardv trains as winter wheat
and even these were cot snre. The
form of government did not aoneal to
them, and thev conisdered railroad
rates exorbitant. The climate was
source cf dissatisfaction, ice and
snow in August and beotember cf
last year adding to their discontent.
Dur'nsr the last nine months, it
was said at the reclamation oihee
today. 15,000 settlers have returned
from the states from Canada.
