The train from Wallowi was augmented i i size at Elgin untl 40 carloads wore Included tn the long chain of cars. Nearly 10 per cent o' the cars were one deck sheep cars For that reason the pull was not at . great as niuny others have been but for length of train It stands as a record In the history of the road This In a measure demonstrates the enormous business done on that road and proves Its standing as a feedei to the main line.

MCST RELIABLE ELECTIOr FORECAST. New York stale Democratic an Bryan wins; Republican and h .oses. This Is the gist of the fore cast of the presidential election made by the New York World fron l general poll of tha doab.ful states by that newspaper and about 2' Hhers '.Jiroughout the country. Th' vVorld claims large gains for Brya in all the so-called doubtful state axcept New York, while the revise poll shows Republican losse3 in Nev York stalie above the Bronx. Newspaper polls are not Infalllbl by a long ways, but tha World usv illy guesses as near as any paper. The World glvej five cause3 lead ing to the belief that the contest fo he presidency 13 in doabt. They are "The Injection Into the canipalg n some of the western states of a nsldlous and disturbing religious fac or which is working against the Re nibllcan candidate. "The tendency of the labor vote t reak away from the control of al )artle3, a3 Illustrated In the uprlF ng spread of the Socialist cause joth In the east and the west. "The inability of both the Repub lean and Democratic parties to In diligently approximate the dlstrlbu Ion of the vote to be cast by ai irmy of unemployed estimated ii ound numbers at 1,400,000 voters. "The Inability of both the Repul lean and Democratic managers to ai lcipate the distribution of the co jred vote In sUt93 where it has a' ways been classl'lad as Republican. "The complete absence of an lssu f general value or vote-getting po ency to elthe'r side." The World goe3 on to show tha Mr. Taft must carry New York state he chlefest of the doubtful states o win by a margin of two votes. I le carries it, his election is assured 3ryan to win must carry New York, Ohio, and Maryland or Nebraska o tVest Virginia, Which would glv llm 248 votes, or six more than 1: lecessary to elect him. If he cat .les New York, Indiana, We3t Vii ;lula and Nebraska or Maryland, and yet loses Ohio, he may still be elect id by six votes. Under any comb! nation he must carry New York ti A'lll. :AUSES OF POPULAR APATHY Measured by the amount of dts usslon, there Is not a tenth of the nterest taken In this vicinity it he preildontlal. election there wa n the June election, even allowing or the county seat question at the atter. The reasons are too hard 0 Btate exactly, there being sc nany of them, most of a negative sort. The one that" probably account! 'or the greater part of the apathy n this county is the one said by the New York World to deaden Interest u the campaign all over the United States, and that is the utter absence of a vital issue. There is the same difference be--weeu the tariff planks of the two Jartles that there is between twee 1 ledum and twesdledea. Bryan quot ?d the Republican plank In a speech t Des Moines, and the Omaha Bee and Portland Oregonlan, Republican organs, attacked his utterance as 'economic twaddle." So the Repub lican tariff plank by the authority A those two graat Republican news papars, is twaddle. Democratic or sans admit the Democratic plank is a straddle. You can't expect people to ea thme, rave or t3ar their hair ovet he issue between a twaddle and b itraddle. The Republicans would "regulate" he trusts and the Democrats would bu3t" them. Rejulatlon, tried fo; 2 years, has be3n a total failure Nobody belleve3 Taft will succeat .vhere Roosevelt failed. And as fo rust busting, It Is as futile as wen he machine breaking mobs In Eng and in the early part of the nine eenth century. Neither old party hai so far pre ;ented a solutim of the trust evi md the people know it. As for panics and hard times, ev "ybody but the few blind partisan ,ho believe everything seat fron mrty headquarters, knows a panic :ame a year ago, and It was no toosevelt or the Republican party'. ault, and If Bryan is elected and the )re3ent stringency continues or In Teases It will not be his or his par y's fault. Locally, the only issue spoken ol s guarantee of bank deposits. There ieems to be considerable Intere3t ol ui-t out (t La Grande in that issue, f it excites much attention in the Cast the papers don't reflect it. But t is going to make hundreds of honsands of vote3 for Wm. J. Bryan, iust the same, probably enough in dose and doubtful state3 to decide he result. The Injection of oil Into the cam algn was overdone. So much was ipllled it bespatsred big men ir. oth parties and stilled the tern est. With guaranteed bank deposits, the i'armers and Traders bank at La jrande would not have closed its loors, there would have b3en no run n the bank as the depositors would lave had no fear of receiving tholi noney. The expenses of a receiver ihlp would have been avoided anf ery expensive litigation of various tlnds. And above all, there would lave been an Inspection that inspect ed, and the stealing of Scriber would lave been stopped years ago. Falling markets either indicate Taft s likely to be defeated or that his election would be bad business. (P i. If you are a Taft man, just sub itltute Bryan's name for Taft's In he foregoing paragraph. This if he warranted, reversible, puncture proof argument that never did noi lever will win a vote.) Guesses on this county range from 100 majority for Taft to a small plu rallty for Bryan, according to the ;ues8er. Wallowa seems typical o' he whole country. The silent vote was never so large as this year. As -hey say in sport events: "It is wybody'8 race and may the best mar. win." The kind of business that requires a trip to outside points, will increase enormously now that the railroad is completed to Enterprise. SCRIBER'S 'STEALINGS LARGER THAN EXPECTED J. W. Scriber, cashier of the Farm 3rs and Traders bank of La Grande, -hat closed its door last 'week, was irrosted Friday charged with wrong .'ully appropriating $12,525 of the bank's funds. He waived examlna -Ion and was released under $15,000 bonds. It Is understood the bonds were placed within his reach so he could be free ta help in untangling he me3s of false notes, entries, etc., and to save as much of his persona' fortune as possible which he says will be turned over to the bank. Even the sum of $12,525 may not cover the entire amount of his steal Ings. His forgeries date back to 1903, and all the bank inspections since then failed to discover a single trace of his wrongdoing. The sureties on Sertber's bond are O. F. Coo'.ldge, Julius Roesch, J. E Foley, w. B. Sargent, F. L. Lilly and Mrs. T. N. Murphy. The label on your paper gives the month and year your subssription ex pired or will expire.

Prof. Irving Fisher, the eminent political econom 1st of Yale University, who In one of his papers belore the recent In ternational Tuberculosis congre33 in Washington declare! that consump tion costs the people of the United States more than a billion dollars a ear, ii preparing an exhaustive re port for the National Conservation commission, which will contain not only these figures but similar data m the economic los3 to the country .'roni all other preventable disaases. Prof. Fisher 13 a member of the "latlonal Conservation commission md for many years has bean carry ng on studies along the3a line3. The commission recalvel letters from ihysicians all over the country urg ng it to consider the bearing ol mblic health on the economic e'fic ancy of the nation In its efforts tc iscertain the resources of the coun ry. The commission from the besin ilng has contemplated reports on the sconomic aspecU of several phases if the Conservation movement which iffect the duration and effectiveness f human life, but Prof. Fi3her has indertaken to prepare a comprehen ,lve statement of the whole subj3ct jf the relations of public health t the general field of conservation, and especially as to the wa3ie from pre ventable dissasss and unnecessary deaths. Dr. FUhsr 13 profe33or of political economy at Yale University ant chairman of the "Committee of One Hundred" of the American as3ocla tlon for the Advancement of Science which has for a long time been car rylng on propaganda for the Increase of national health through the elim ination of preventable diseases. This Committee of One Hundred Is com posed of physicians and men engaged In active sociological work In ever, part of the country, and the results of their investigations and expert ence are all available to Dr. Fisher 3d that hl3 report ought to be the most thorough -going and complete summary of the situation ever made. At the Tuberculosis congre33, Prof Fisher declared that 138,000 persons die of consumption every year. Th' cost of medical attendance and the loss of earnings before death average at least $2,400, he said, while if tc this is added the money that might have been earned with health, the total loss In each case is about $8,000. He pointed out, also, thai the disease usually attacks younf men and women just at the time when they are beginning to earn money and cut3 off their earning power for about three years on ar average, before they die. This subject of the economic value to the country of a general raising of the average health came up in the governors' . conference at the White House ia May. Dr. George M. Kober in his speech on the "Con servation of Life and Health by -Im proved Water Supply" at the confer ence presented flgure3 which showed that the decrease in the "vita assets' of the country through ty phoid fever in a single year is more than $350,000,000. Typhoid Is spread by polluted water largely, so that the death rate from this dlseasa can be directly reduced by the purlficatio: of city drinking water. Dr. Kobei n.i.if.ed statistics to show that the Increased value of the water to the city of Albany where the typholt fever rate was reduced from 104 ir 100,000 to 26 by an efficient fUtra Hon plant, amounts to $175,000 f year, of which $350,000 may be con sldered a real Increase to the vita assets of the city. Census bureau figures' show that the average annua" death rate from typhoid in cities with contaminated water supplies was re luced from 60.1 per 100,000 to 19.1 by the substitution of pure supplies. Dr. Kober cited estimates showing that the average length of human life in the slxteonth century was be tween 18 and 20 years, and that at the close of the eighteenth cen tury it was a little more than 30 while today it is between 38 and 40 Indeed, the span of life since 1SSC has been lengthened about six years.
