Mr. Upton has recently returned from a trip to the Pan-Handle of Texas, and is enthusiastic over the country. He con templates investing in some of that property as he has seen enough of it to consider it just as good land as lays out of doors.

Should he do so it will be of land which he himself is ir.Uiested in as he wants his friends to invest in that which he thinks enough of to buy himself. T. W.

TAFT WILL TOUR GGU iTliY DEMONSTRATE HIS ABILITY AS A CAMPAIGNER. In Day cf Speechm ak i riQ TMrourh Ohio, He Becomes the Aggres sor in the Contest. Cincinm.li. Sept. 9. Tint W'iHlam II. latt will make a complete ami ex t"iisivo tour in the United States be fore the November election, may he announced as the personal determina tion of the candidate. He will rely o:i the record made by himself Tuesday as proof complete of his ability to make Kood in a campaign of travel. lSesides the physical capacity of speaking from north to south through the state of Ohio, Mr. Taft made him self the aggressor In the political fight. He said in his first and principal speech of the day, at Sandusky, that If elected president, he would devote his best energies to constructive rec ommendations to congress for legisla tion which would clinch the Roosevelt policies of business honesty. At the same time he made It clear not only that the regulation by the government of interstate business should be sound in legal principle, but that the inter pretation and enforcement of the law should be both clar and speedy, to the end that legitimate aggregations of capital should not be prevented or discouraged, and that confidence in the commercial stability of the coun try should be on the firmest possible basis. Mr. Taft also pledged himself to further the policy of government supervision of the issue of stocks and bonds of interstate? railways. Later in the day he declared the Re publican party to have made the best record in labor legislation during the past seven years of all previous rec ords since Washington's time. Still later, in his Hying trip through the state, the candidate declared with great emphasis that Mr. Bryan and the Democratic party were responsible for at least two urs of fighting in the Philippines, which would have been unnecessary in the absence of opposition in this country. Th personal demonstration of Mr. Taft fs a campaigner, and the evi dence given by the people of his own state of their indorsement of his presidential aspirations, during his trip from Sandusky to his home city, .idled to the positive announcements lie inn !. i;i his numerous speeches. const it uted an important e. ccii in the Kepi:!) Mean campaign. HAVE CLEW IN $70,CC0 THEFT. Arrest in Cregon Express Case May Be Made in Salem. Portland, Ore., Sept. 9.

The package was shipped on August 21 by J. H. Albert, president of the Capital National bank of Salem, Ore., to Joseph Meyers, who on that day was, with his wife, a guest at the Portland hotel in this city. The pack age never reached its destination and is believed to have disappeared from the express company's office late on the night of August 21, or early in the morning of the following day.

GREAT CATHOLIC GATHERING. Eucharistic Conference Opens in West minster Cathedral, London. London, Sept. 9. The Eucharistic conference opened in Westminster ca thedral Wednesday. The conference is by far the largest yet held, and the importance of the papers to be read at the various sectional meetings makes this gathering of Roman Cath olic clergy an extremely interesting one. The American delegation is not as large as had been expected, many of the bishops having been kept at home by the affairs of their dioceses, while Archbishop Farley has been unable to continue his trip from the continenL Besides Cardinal Gibbons, however, there are present Bishop Foley of De troit, Bishop Keiley of Savannah and Bishop Hendricks of Cebu, Philippine Islands. The bishop of Valleyfield. Que., is among the Canadian represen tatives. Cardinal Vanutelll, the papal legate, arrived Tuesday evening. White Cross Congress Opens. Geneva. Sept. 9.

Animosity Between Railroad Systems at an End and Development of the Country to Go Forward. Portland, Ore., Sept. 7. K. II. liar riman left for San Francisco in a spe cial train. Speaking at a. reception held in Ids honor at the Commercial club, ?.Ir. Harriman said: "We find ourselves in far better shape alter the senseless money panic cf last fall than might have been ex pected, and the past year leaves us with hardly a scratch. Wo are in a position now to go ahead and com-,-V? the work laid out and will do so." Iteforring to the advent, of the now roads on the north bank of the C'oliim bis river constructed by the .lames J. Hill system, Mr. Harriman KJiid: "We have never done anything to keep our northern neighbors out ami we will not. do so. Incidents in tbc past, will do more than anything else to a misunderstanding. We thought we had an agreement with our north ern neighbors that we believed was violated. That has all been smoothed over now and there are no hard feel ings. We are just as much interested as anyone in developing this country and in helping others develop it, for what helps the country helps us who are interested here. We welcome other railroads in helping this state grow." Mr. Harriman showed that he meant what he said in regard to the animosity between his system and the Hill Interests being at an end, for he said later that while rivalry existed between the two systems in a business way they will be more neighborly hereafter and less vindictive. Mr. Harriman left for San Francisco Sunday night. He will stop at Med ford and Ashland en route and at Weed will meet Mrs. Harriman and party, who will return east by way of San Francisco.

OK V- eiiis fIeo BI STANDPATTERS ELECTION OF IOWA GOVERNOR AS SENATOR PREVENTED. DEADLOCK SEEMS LIKELY Forty-Two Republicans Refuse ta Vot for Executive State Con ventions Meet in Illinois and Connecticut. Des Moines, la, Sept. '.. True to their pledge to each other, 411 stand pat Republicans iu the Mate legisla ture Tuesday prevented the election of Gov. A. M. Cummins to the Cnltel States senate to fill out the unexpired term of the late W. 15. Allison. These 42 senators and representa tives refused to cast their votes for Got. Cummins and, with the 45 Dem ocrats who voted for Porter, they out numbered the t5 Republicans who voted for Cummins. Not only did these stand patters prevent an election Tuesday, but they declared that it is, their intention to continue in their course, deadlocking the legislature if it is necessary to keep Cummins out of the senate. Although prominent party leaders came from all parts of the state for the legislative session, and also for the Republican judicial con volition which met Wednesday, they failed to bring about any adjustment of the dif ferences. Serious Bolt May Result. Gov. Cummins, after the vote in the senate, said be regretted that so many Republicans had found it necessary to bolt the decision of their party cau cus.

The convention then proceeded to the nomination of four trustees for the I'ni vesi t y of Illinois, the naming of presidential electors and the adoption of a plat form. There is no other business for it to transact. It seemed certain that Senator A. J. Hopkins and Gov. Deneeu would be in dorsed for re-election, as they were victorious in the primaries. Connecticut G. O. P. Meets. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 9. No Re publican convention held In the stat of Connecticut Since that of the fall of 1900, when the McLean-Warner fight for the governorship shook up the party, brought out so much inter est, so much real enthusiasm and si much excitement as that which was called to order Tuesday night in th Hyperion theater. The temporary chairman was United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee of New London. The business of the convention was begun Wednesday. An incident in the political struggle was the gathering at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday afternoon of man ufacturers representing, it is stated, 5-1 industries having a capital of $50,000. 000 nxnd an aggregate pay roll of $10, 000,000 a year, to formulate a protest to be presented to the convention against the nomination of Congress man George L. Lilley of Waterbury, as governor. Resolutions were adopt ed reciting that the nationaj house of representatives has so overwhelming ly repudiated Mr. Lilley that hi3 nom ination for governor would be a direct affront to the dignity and judgment of that body, and the public record of Mr. Lilley is sufficient proof of his unfitness for the office.
