Democrats Have Bid of 21 Republic­

Washington, D C.— By the narrow
margin of five votes the House passed
, the wool tariff revision bill over Pres-
I Ident T a ft’s veto. The vote, 174 to 80,
was made possible only by the defec­
tion of 21 republicans, who voted with
the democrats.

Dallas—The second annual Harvest
Festival and School Fair will be held
here on Thursday, Friday ad Saturday,
October 3, 4 and 5. This was decided
upon at a meeting of the Dallas Com­
mercial Club held in this city recently,
and a committee on preliminary ar­
rangements was appointed. Last year
this fair was given during the hop-
picking season, and this fact injured
its success. However, it is believed
this year that this festival will be one
of the best events of the season. It
will be larger and better than last
year and will be advertised much more.
It is planned to have a Salem and
Portland day, and to have a special
train run from Portland to accommo­
date the Portland visitors. Upon this
day the Chamber of Commerce of Port­
land and the Salem Board of Trade
will be invited to furnish some speak­
ers for exercises to be held. It Is be­
lieved that the Portland Chamber of
Commerce will be interested in this,
for the members who visited Dallas
during the Winter with the business
men’s excursion were favorably im­
pressed with this city.
The Commercial Clubs of Independ­
ence and Falls City will be asked to
lend their aid this year to make this
the biggest affair ever held in Polk
county. The County Court has appro­
priated a liberal amount of money for
it, and the Dallas Commercial Club has
authorized an expenditure of $1,000 to
make it a success.
Salem— Consolidation o f ail of the
state institutions under the manage­
ment of one board is a recommenda­
tion which Governor W est will make

chief executive.

gathered in the history of Curry coun­
ty. Over 30 automobiles came from
Coos and neighboring counties.
Mrs. Robert McKenzie won the lov­
ing cup offi-rcd by Frank B. Tichenor,
of Portland, for the best display of
agates.
Mr. Tichenor suggested the idea of
an agate carnival to the Commercial
Club here last year which was adopted
und will he made an annual feature.
He has also suggested the building of
an agate palace to include hall of the
same material for Oregon Sons, and
this has been unanimously adopted by
the Commercial Club. It will he built
in time for the next, or third annual
agate carnival.
Port Orford has the best agate
beaches on the Pacific Coast, but owing
to the inaccessibility heretofore the
outside world has not known it. This
year the ball game, foot raeps, horse
races and athletic events created great
enthusiasm and all agree that this was
the biggest and best celebration ever
held in Curry eounty.

much if anything happens to you to­
morrow because of your strained arm,
that 1 wanted to ask you about it my­
self. A weakness there might kill
you, might it not?"
"It might. If It existed,” he con­
firmed. "But the strain does not trou­
ble me. I deserved to pay more se­
verely for such stupid carelessness."
She did not avoid his keen gaze at
ail, yet somehow failed to impress her
sincerity.
"It was an accident," she deprecat­
ed. "I suppose you Just forgot. Frank­
ly, though, I wish you were to drive
a Duplex or an Atalanta, tomorrow. I
do not like the Mercury, it la so often
in wrecks."
“ It is faster than either of the oth­
ers," Stanton defended, yet moved in
spite of himself by her anxiety for his
safety. "I am also obliged to admit
that it is not responsible for any of
our mishaps, so far, at least; I lead it
Into trouble, myself, sometimes."
Her long, fair lashes fell; she tapped
her fingers nervously upon the door
panel.
" If you could not race, who would
be likely to win, Mr. Stanton?"
"You are taking it for granted that
I will succeed— I easily may not. But
without the Slercury, probably the Du­
plex or the Atalanta on this long road
race. On a track, I would choose the
Italian car.”
She
listened
attentively,
then
smiled.
“ I am such an amateur; I do not
half understand. I have come with an
invitation from papa. He wishes to
consult you about auto tires, thoBe
for your next race, and he hopes you
will dine with us, this evening."
Thoroughly surprised, he promptly
declined.
"Excuse me to Mr. Carlisle; I must
get ready for tomorrow. Moreover, it
is for the Mercury company to discuss
tires, not for me."
Her small mouth set, she drew aside
her shimmering skirts.
"W e will decide that on the way— I
will put you down at your hotel, at
least.”
"Miss Carlisle, I am Just from the
course; I am not presentable.”
"That is for me to say,” she remind­
ed. "Pray do not refuse all my re­
quests."
Almost under compulsion, Stanton
entered the car.
He could have fancied her breathing
was quicker; she gazed at him with
so singular and disproportionate a
triumph as almost to startle him.
Without waiting the chauffeur's move­
ment, she herself slammed the door of

curled slightly.
"A woman?” he repeated, hie mer­

“ They say so— and I ’d as soon have
thought of Ralph Stanton getting
drunk.”
"You'd better phone to the Insane
asylum,” advised the mechanician,
and turned his back to the whole af­
fair, watching the brilliant spectacle
before him with qpornful gray eyea.
Five minutes passed, ten. Tbe first
car was called to its station. The Mer­
cury had drawn fifth in the lottery for
place. Just four minutes before the
starting hour, a taxicab bowled furi­
ously across the crowds, came to a
Jerky atop at the edge of the course,
end opened to emit its passenger.
"StantonI” hailed his manager, chok­
ing with exasperation and relief.
"Stanton, for Heaven's sake— where—
what— ”
“ Sick," the driver flung at him,
springing across to his car, from
which Floyd slid out to give him en­
trance. "Mask, gloves, you others."
"Sick?” echoed the unbelieving Mr.
Green, amid the flurry of preparation.
"You, you sick?"
Stanton, in his seat, turned a color­
less face toward him before clasping
on the mask.
"Sick," he reiterated explicitly.
"Are you ready, Floyd?’ ’
The Mercury drew up to her line on
exact time. And in the moments while
the cars in front were being gent away.
Floyd found an opportunity to put a
question.
"You have been ill?” he coldly
asked.
"Acute Indigestion; I ’ve been In a
doctor’s office since nine o’clock last
night,’’ snapped Stanton. "Did you
think I was lying to you?"
"No. Are you fit to drive?”
" I t you're afraid I ’m not, get out and
leave me."
Tha signal was given. When the
Mercury flashed across the line, Floyd
was almost as pale from anger as
Stanton from recent illness.
The race was for three hundred
miles, thirty times over the ten mile
course with Its sharp elbows and steep
hills, and was expected to take some
six hours of continuous driving. The
strain was not light for the pilot at
the wheel.
For the first hour there was no in­
cident out of the usual. Floyd attend­
ed strictly to his work and Stanton
drove rather more sanely than usual.
But at the beginning of the second
hour, the rear of the Atalanta car
came in view through the fog of dust
ahead; the Atalanta, which had start­
ed four minutes in advance of them.
Stanton sighed with grim satisfaction,
and speeded in pursuit.
"Turn ahead,” warned Floyd, at his
ear.
