WASHINGTON GOES REPUBLICAN
Johnson, Democrat for Governor, Wins
in Minnesota Overcoming a
Big Handicap
Elections were field Tuesday in 42
states, and while the results in a num
ber of instances were of nnusual in
terest, it may be said that, geuerally
speaking, there were no great sur
prises. Throughout the south the demoorat
io state and congressional tickets have
been elected by the usual majorities.
In the west and east the states that
were aligned two years ago in tbe
demooratio or republican columns
show no material change, the demo
crats making gains in some instances
and tbe republicans in others. Tbe
republicans retain control of cougress
by a good majority. Perhaps tbe
widest general interest in tbe eleotions
ceutered in tbe remarkable light for
governor which has been , waged in
New York state between Charles E.
Hughes, the republican caudidate,
who throughout the campaign has bad
the support of President Roosevelt, and
William Randolph Hearst, who has
been running as the regular demo
oratio and Independence , league nom
inee. The latest returns available
show that Mr. Hughes, while losing
nearly all of the'priucipal cities of tbe
state, was successful by about 60,000
plurality. The rural districts brought
about the republican victory.
In New York City , the Tammany
Hall Independence league judiciary
ticket was successful, with possioly
one exoeption, over the candidates
named, by tbe noupartizan "judioiary
nominators."
Massachusetts has reeleoted Curtis
Guild, republican, as governor over
District Attorney John B. Morgan of
Boston, who was tbe candidate of the
demooratio party, the indepeudeuce
league and the prohibitionists. -
In Chicago it is estimated that the
Independence league tioket polled 40,-
000, but there was a heavy republican
plurality for the state offloers.
Pennsylvania has eleoted Stuart,
j republican, governor, over a fusion
! opposition by the usual republican
' plurality.
Miohigau, Iowa, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiaua
and Wisconsin have rolled up republi
can pluralities, although there was
some falling off from tbe usual vote

Don't Cut a Corn.
Blood poisoning- is liable to result when
corn is cut with knife or razor. . Cutting or
trimming a corn affords but temporary relief
because the corn comes back. The only safe
and sure way to be free from corns and bun

Indian Corn Leaf.
This magic leaf applied to the corn eases the
pain instantly after which the corn is removed
entirely, permitting the foot to resume its
natural shape. Recommended by all who have
tested its merits. Send 20 cents for large size

AGIST WAREHOUSE OWNERS
Eastern Oregon Grain Grower Seek
to Have Bill Introduced.
Tbe Oregou Daily Journal says:
Grain gorwers of Eastern Oiegon, and
especially of Umatilla county, are
planning to make things warm for the
warehouse people when the legislature
meets by introducing a bill intended
to regulate the storage charges made
by the companies and give relief from
what is now considered to be an ex
cessive rate.
Tbe Umatilla County Whea throw
ers' association, working in harmony
with a similar organization from Sher
man county and backed by the unani
mous sentiment of the farmers of tbe
wheat producing section of Eastern
Oregon, has taken tbe matter np
officially and is now working upon a
measure which will be intrusted to
one of tbe legislative delegations for
aotion by the legislature.
The greater part of the wheat pro
duced in the Inland Empire country is
stored after each harvest and hold in
the warehouses until snob time as tbe
farmer sees fit to sell. Many times
this stored wheat is not sold nutil
just before the followng harvest. In
past years the warehouse men charged
the farmer 50 cents a ton for storage
from tbe time of patting it in the
warehouse in the fall until tbe follow
ing July. This has been charged
within tbe last two years and now the
farmer is taxed 50 oents a ton from
harvest until January 1, and after
that 10 cents per ton per month as
long ns stored. The farmers consider
this charge to be exorbitant and tend
ing to take all profit from holding
wheat in storage. It is also thought
to be a move on the part of the wheat
bnyiug companies, which in most in
stances own the warehouses, to force
the farmers into selling at an early
date instead of holding for an increase
in prices.
It is held to be a conservative esti
mate that out of the 1,500,000 bushels
of wheat produced in Umatilla oounty
alone praotically one half, oi 2,250,
000 bushels, is held in storage for a
longer or shorter time after January 1,
so that the farmers are compelled
under tbe present arrangement to pay
sums which conld mount as high as
$5000 for tbe extra storage asked by
the companies.
The wbeatgrowers of Eastern Ore
gon are at war with tbe buyers aud
have combined against them. The
buyers have retaliated by refusing to
recognize tbe organization formed by
the growers or to attend tbe sales held
tinder the growers' auspioes. As a re
suit a larger amount of wheat is now
in storage than for some time, and it
will all begin to cost added storage
after the first of the year.
The bill proposed will soive tbe
double ; purpose of retaliation aoa
regalation. The Eastern Oregon
farmers are confident that tbe measure
will carry, as they consider their de
mands just and will ask for nothing
more thrfn that a reasonable "' maxi
mum charge for storage bo placed
upon grain stored and held for sale.

HEARST MAY CONTEST ELECTION
At the headquarters of tbe inde
pendence leagne in New York tbe fol
lowing statement was issned: "Re
ports from up-state indicates not only
that Hearst has cut down tbe lepnbli
can vote materially but tbe independ
ence league vote for Hearst was not
counted in many counties. Tbe vote
will have to be added to aunonnoe tbe
result of Hearst's vote in order to give
a correct account of Hearst's figures iu
tbe state. Captain William A.
Chandler stated that his brother,
Robert, who was running for sheriff
in Duchess county, had threatened
bringing mandamus proceedings
against several election boards be
fore they conseuted to count tbe inde
pendence league vote for Hearst.
RESERVATION 1ST BE OPEN
Foothill Farmers and Stockmen De
mand Public Highways.
Farmers and stockmen on npper Mc
Kay creek and in the foothills of tbe
Bine mountains are highly indignant
that the oounty roads prayed for
aoross tbe Umatilla reservation have
been denied by tbe government.
Tbey feel, says the East Oregonian,
that it is an outrage that tbey should
be hemmed in without an outlet for
their stock wbiob tbey must market in
this city and which must be driven
over tbe reservation to market, or else
three times tbe distance arouud tbe
Indian land to Pendleton.
- Charles Schumann, a well known
stockman of npper McKay, voiced the
sentiment of the majority of stockmen
of tbe county " wbeu he said that it is
an outrage that the actual settlers
must be denied a free publio road for
teams, stook and every class of travel.
"The Indians' lands are not so sao-
red that a white man cannot eucroaoh
upon it, surely," said .Mr. Schumann
to tbe East Oregoniau. "We have set
tled npon land iu the foothills and ate
citizens of this county. Peudletou is
our piinoipal market and we must
drive our fat stook to this city to mar
ket it. It is but 25 mile from my
borne direct to Pendleton aoross the
reservation, but if I must drive my
stock around the reservation by way of
Stewart cteek and Pilot Rock, it is
over 60 miles.
"There is greater need for roads
across tbe reservation every year as
tbe foothill country Battles up more
and more and it is a rank injustice to
us to forbid us driving over tbe In
dians' laud, when the Indian roams at
will over the country, scattering lire
and begging from the whites.
"When we wish to cross the reserv
ation with a small bunob of fut stock
in coming to Peudletou to matket it,
we must come, to tbe Umatilla agency
first aud secure a permit from the
agent, making an extra trip of 50
miles, while we could have deliv
ered the stock in Pendleton while
we were securing the permit, had we
been accorded our just rights by the
government."
Mr. Schumann says the people of
the foothill country will not let the
matter rest as it is, as the necessity
for main publio roads aoross the re
servation is keeuly felt by all and a
strenuous effort will be made to secnre
them.
WILL ITOElSEBIflCE,
Eventually a New Switch Board Will
be Installed at Central.
With the merging ot the telephone
systems in Athena, and with service
to be given all the lines from one cou
tral office the question of better facil
ities aud office equipment is already
being looked iuto by Mauager Mo
Gilvery of tbe Paciflo States Tele
phone and Telegraph company.
Iu company with Foreman Russell
of tbe equipmeut department,' Mr. Mo
Gilvery was in tbe city Wednesday,
looking iuto tbe matter. It is under
stood that for the preseut aud until
tbe factories oau turn out a modern
switch board and offioe apparatus,
tbe capacity of tbe present switoh
board will be doubled.
It is tho intention of the company so
soon as it is possible to do away with
tbe present ofHoe equipment here and
install in its place an up to date,
modern switob board.
Had a Close Call
"A dangerous surgical operation,
involving the removing ot a malign
ant ulcer as large as my band from
my daughter's hip, was prevented by
tbe application of Bucklen's Arnica
Salve," says A. 0. Stic It el, ot Mile
tus, W. Va. "Persistent use of tbe
salve completely cured it" Cares
cuts, bums and injuries. 25o at Mo
Bride's. Other reports were received indicating
that independence league votes for
Hearst were not 'counted in Erie and
Alleghany counties. Reports came iu
also showing that in districts in Clin
ton, Cattaragns, Herkimer, Wayne,
Albany, Onedaga and Washington
counties there was a failure on the
part of tbe election board to count the
vote for Hearst which was ost under
tbe scales. The facts which developed
explain tbe great falling off in tbe
total vote cast compared with tbe total
vote two years ago. There is no donbt
that votes represented by this falling
off were votes cast for Hearst and his
associates under tbe emblem of tbe
scales. These matters are being fully
investigated."
CASES IIIDECEIER
Probing of the Land Frauds
. to Come Then
HENEY WILL BE ON
The Celebrated Prosecutor Will Turn
His Attention From San Fran
cisco Graft Cases.
Tbe news comes up from Portland
that Francis J. Heney will turn his '
attention from the muuicipal " graft' T
oases of San Francisco to the federal '
land frand cases of Oregou about De
cember 1, and will join Judge Hunt
of Moutana in Portland for the re
sumption of tbe land frand trials in
the United States court.
Judge William B. Gilbert, who has
just returned from San Francisco, has
come to this conclusion after an ex
tended oonferenoe with United States
District Attorney Bristol. Until
Jadge Wolvertou returns on Saturday, i
however, and joins Judge Gilbert and
Attorney Bristol in conference it will
be impossible to deoide definitely what
will Joe done iu the federal court, .
especially dnriug the present month.
It is not likely that a federal grand
jury will be called at this time for tbe
consideration of theoharges now pend
ing in the district attorney's office,
but such aotion may be taken if it is
fouud tbat Judge Wolverton will be
able to remain iu Portland for any ex
tended time. This matter will be sot
tied when Jadge Wolverton returns to
Portland and aoquainta Judge Gilbert
with the condition of bis own docket
and that of Judge Morrow in San
Franaisoo, where be has Lee a for the
past mouth heating insuranoe and
other litigation.
A BIG VOLUME OF BUSINESS
The Freston-Farton Milliner Company
Boosts Athena Freight Traffic
Few people have but a slight idea of
the volume of business that is done in
a month out at tbe big plant of the
Preston-Parton Milling company.
Sinoe January 1, np to Nopember 1,
over tbe W. & C. R. out of a total of
481 carload shipments, 396 carloads
were shipped from the mill. Flour,
of course, is tbe chief commodity but
mill sluffs and baled hay figure to -?ome
exteut in swelling tbe number of
cars shipped, and incidentally went to
boost tbe freight trafflo over that load
from this point.
Shipments over tbe O. R. & N. made
by the'mill company are also qnite ex
tensive, and greatly augmeuts the
volume of business transacted for tbe
year. From January 1 to October 1
carload shipments made by foe Preston-Parton
company from Athena over
theO. R. &N. totals 200 carloads,
waking tbe toal over both the W. &
C. R. and O. R. & N. of B86 carloads.
Tbe mouth of Ootober was the ban
ner month of carload shipments mado
by tbe mill over the W. & C. li. road,
when 81 carloads were billed out. The
month of September scored 74 car
loads. Tbe mouth of March with 10
carloads stands as the smallest month .
of shipments duriug tbe year. '
Many carloads of wheat, principal
ly blue stem from tbe upper country,
coming in over tbe O. R. & N. is
milled in transit; that iu' unloaded,
from tbe oars, ground iuto flour aud
then shipped out again. - ..
WiLL ORGANIZE BRASS BAND
Frof. Frank Henry Will Head Sew
'.Musical Organization.
Prof. Frank Henry, tbe well known
musician and band leader, who ar
rived in the city Monday, is meeting
with unexpected success in the organ
ization of a brass band.
Time was, and not so very long ago,
when Athena had one of the largest
and best band in tbe Inland
Empire. When tbe old organization
was at its best Mr. Henry was for a
time its loader, and now he couips
again to give tbe town a good band.
Most of tbe old members have left
butjjthere yet remains a sufficient num
ber of them for a neuclens which may
be surrounded by a lot of recruits,
who with proper instruction and drill
ing may be depended upon to give
Athena a good band ouce'tnore.
Prof. Henry announces that a meet
ing will be held next Tnesday evening,
