The fires on th Colvllle Indian reserva tion are growing worse and can not be ex tinguished without th aid of rain ac cording to a telegram from Superintendent Webster of th reservation received at th Indian bureau 'today. Th fires h says, are proving expensive and are threatening th Indian ranches. While thus far they have been confined mostly to dead and down trees underbrush and grass It Is feared that under prevailing high wind the flames may- spread rapidly.

The niesage, which come from As sistant Forester Olmstead at tfan Fran- olsco, gives the first Information that the . fires In that vicinity are proving serious. Th War department ordered three com panics of troops from the Presidio barracks, Ban Francisco, to th Tahue forest fur fire fighting duty.

HAVE BOUND TABLE DISCUSSION Gathering at DokIii County Teach ers Institute Reached Number of Hundred and Sixty Some Entertaining; Classes. The Institute tor Douglas county teachers, in session at the High school building, In creased Its attendance to 180 Tuesday and the postponed model class in grammar read ing was begun. A doxen or more school children from Dundee and other county schools were taught a reading lesson by Mis Kleanor Lally of the Peru normal for the edification of the assembled Instructors, The round table discussion for Tuesday was. confined to high school topics. Miss Gertrude Rowan of the State university has been conducting very successful classes in domestic science and household eco nomics, and more Interest has been shown in her work than in any other topic. Prof.. Charles Keyea of Hartford delivered two- more lectures on "Education," and Mis Lally, besides giving the demonstra tion in grammar teaching, gave another talk on music. The. work in Miss Rowan's department Includes some discussion of sanitation for school and home and Wednesday she will give Instruction In "First Aid to the In jured." Bandaging and the proper use of antidotes and the various methods of resus citation will be demonstrated and explained. These meetings are not compulsory for any but th teachers in the Douglas county country schools, although a great many Omaha teachers have attended and are ex pected to attend if they so desire. The institute will , continue during the week with sessions every morning, opening; at 8:30 o'clock. Round table discussions are held dally and some special out-of-town speakers - may be procured for the latter part of the week. i ROOSEVELT ON WAY WEST (Continued from First Page.) edge the knowledge that can only come as result of the highest education. From railways to factories no great Industrial concern can now a lays be carried on save by the aid of a swarm ot men who have re ceived a high technical education In chem istry, in engineering, in electricity, in one or more of scores of special subjects. The big business man, the big railway man, does not ask college-trained experts to tell him how to run his business; but he does ask numbers of them each to give him ex pert 'advice and aid on some one point In dispensable to his business. He finds this man usually in some graduate of a techni cal school or college1 In which he has been trained for his life work. Real Function of Experts. "In Just the same way the farmers should benefit by tho advice of .the technical men Who have been trained In phases of the very work the farmer does. I am not now speaking of the man who has' had an ordinary general training, whether In school or college. While there should un doubtedly be such a training as a founds-! tlon (the extent differing according to tho ,klnd of wbrk'eaclv'bby Intends to do as a roanV -lt is nevertheless true that our educational system should more and more be turned In the direction of educating men tow aids, and not away from, the farm and the shop. - During the las: half century we have begun to develop ' a system cf ' agricultural education at once practical and scientific, and we must go on developing it. But, after developing it, it must be utd. The rich man who spends a fortune upon a fancy farm, with entir Indiffer ence to cost, does not do much good to farming; but, on the other, hand. Just as little is done by the working farmer who stolidly refuses to profit by the knowledge of the day; 'who treats any effort ut im provement as absurd on Its face, refuses to countenance what he regards as new fangled Ideas and contrivances, and Jeers at all 'book farming.' I wish I could take representatives of this type of farmer dOT n to Long Island, where I live, to have them see what has been done, not as philanthropy; but as a plain business proposition, by men connected . with th Long Island railroad, who believe it pays to encourage the development of farms jakmg the line of that railway. They have put practical men in charge of exp.-ri-;mental farms, cultivating them intensively and using the best modern methods, not only in raising crops, but in securing the best market for the crops when raised The growth has been astounding, and land only fifty miles from New York, which aunng our entire national lifetime has been treated as worthless, has within the '"i inree or lour years been proved to potsesa a really blgli value. Two Successful Farmers. "The farmer, however, must not only make his land pay, but he must make country life Interesting for himself and for his wife and his sons and daughters. Our people as a whole -should realize the in finite' possibilities of life in the country; aiid every effort should be made to make these possibilities more possible. From the beginning of time It has been the man raited la the country and usually the man born In the country who has been most spt to render the services which every na tlon most needs. Turning to the list of American statesmen. It Is extraordinary to see how large a proportion started as farm boys. But it is rather sad to see that in recent years most of thes same boys hav ended their live a men living in cities. "it often happens that the good conditions of the past call be regained, not by going back, but by going forward. We cannot recreate what is dead; we cannot stop the march of events, but we can direct this march, and out of the new conditions de velop something better than the past knew Henry Clay was a farmer, who lived and died In the country; Washington was farmer, who lived and died in the country and we of this nation ought to mak It our business to see that the conditions are made such that farm life In the future shuli nut enly develop men of the stamp of Washington and Henry Cloy, but shall be so attractive that thes men may con tipue. as farmers; for remember that Wash In ton .and Uienry -Clay were' successful fatmeis. I hup Uiat things will so shape themselves thut the farmer can hav great career and yet end his life as farmer; so that the city man will look' for ward to living in the country rather than the country man living in the city. Organisation for Farmers. "Farmers should learn bow to combine effectively, as has been don In Industry I am particularly glad to apeak to th Grange, for I heartily believe In farmer: organisations; and w should all welcome every etep- liken towards an increasin co-operstion among farmers. The Impor tanc ot such movements cannot be over estimated; and through such Intelligent Joint, action It wll) be possible to improv the market Just as much as the farm. "Country life should be as attractive as efty life, and the eountry people should In stst- upon having their full representation when It comes to dealing with all great publlo questions. In other werds, country folk should demand that they work on equal terms with city folk In all such mat ters. They should hav their share in the memberships of commissions and councils; In short, of all the organised bodies for lay ing plans for great enterprises affecting all the people. I am glad to see on such bodies th namea that represent financial Inter ests, but thos Interests should not have the right-of-way. and in all enterprises and movements in which the social oondltlon of the country Is Involved, the agricultural country the open country should be as well represented as the city. The man of the open country Is spt to have certain qualities which the city man has lost These qualities offset those which the city man has and he himself ha not. The two should be put on equal terms, and the country talent be given the same opportun ity as the city talent to express Itself and to contribute to the welfare of th world in which we live. Social Crater 1st Country. "The country church should be made a true social center, alive to every need of the community, standing for a broad Indi vidual outlook and development, taking the lead in work and in recreation, caring more tor conduct than for dogma, more for eth ical, spiritual, practical hetterment than for merely formal piety. Th country fsJr offers far greater possibilities for continu ous and healthy usefulness than It at pres ent affords. The country school should be made a vital center, for economic, social and educational co-operation; it is naturally fitted to be such a center for those engaged In commercial farming, for those who live on and by the small farms they themselves own. The problem of the farm Is really the problem of the family that lives on the farm. On all these questions there Is need of Intelligent study, such as marks the books of Prof. Bailey ot . Cornell and of Horace Plunkett's book on the 'Rural Life Problems of the United States.' "One feature of the problem should be recognised by " the farmer at one, and an effort mad to deal with It It Is our duty and our business to consider th farm laborer exactly as we consider the farmer. No country life can be. satisfac tory when th owners of farms tend, for whatever reason, to go away to live in oltles instead of working their farms; and, moreover. It cannot to really satisfactory when the labor 'system is so managed that there is for part of the year a demand for labor which cannot be met, and during an other part pf the year no demand for labor at all, ao that the farmers tend to rely on migratory laborers who come out to work in the country with no permanent in terest in it and with .no prospect of steady employment. It is exceedingly difficult to make a good citlxen out of a man who can't count upon some steadiness and con tinuity in the work which, mean to him a livelihood. . Economic conditions on the farm In variety and kind of crop grow ing, especially distributed in time, and housing for the menmust be so shaped as to render it possible for the man who labors for the farmer to be steadily em ployed under conditions which foster his self-respect and tend for his .development. The Farmer's "Wife. "Abovev all, the' conditions of farm life must always be shaped with a view to the welfare of the farmer's wife and th farm laborer's wife, quite ss much as to the welfare of the farmer and farm laborer. To have the woman a mere drudge is at least as bad as to have the man a mere drudge. It Is every, whit as Important to Introduce new machines to economise her labor within the house as it is to in troduce machinery to.incres the effective ness of his labor outside the house. I haven't the slightest sympathy with any movement which looks to excusing men and women fur the non-performance of duty and fixes attention only on rights and not duties. The woman wso shirks her duty as a housewife, as mother, is a contemptible creature; Just as the corre sponding man is a contemptible creature. But th welfare of the women is even more Important than the welfare of th man; for th mother is the real atlas, who bears aloft in her strong snd tender arms the destiny of the world. She de serves honor and consideration sucb As no man should reoelve. She forfeits all claim to this honor and .' consideration If she shirks her duties. But th average Amer ican woman does not shirk them; snd It a matter of the highest obligation for s to see thst they are performed under conditions which make for her welfare and happiness and for the welfare and happi ness "of the children she brings into the world." DAHLMAN WIRES GOVERNOR (Continued from First Page.)' of counties, Including Douglas and Lancas ter, wherein the vote of republicans was heavy in the democratic column, for the reason if any great number of mistakes in counting ballots that were marked in both columns, occurred, It will show up n th counties wherein I hav asked tor recount Waiving; Technicalities. 'I will gladly Join with you in waiving any technicalities of the law and have all the counties recounted. The provision are plain that either you or 1 can ask tor a recount and the board can grant them if they will. If a considerable number of mis takes do not show up in the counties that have already asked to be recounted. hall accept the result a final and feel that those who have claimed that there was any number of these sort of ballot counted, have beenmitaken. I think, upon consideration, you will be willing to correct any mistakes which may be discovered, as I shall be, and that neither of us ought to wish sny votes counted for us that we ar not entitled to. It will only take a few. days to complete the recount In any- event, and no matter which of us is finally returned the winner, we ought to both be glad to have had a recanvass and thus satisfy all of our friends that the contest had been friendly and fair, and that neither of us is willing to take any advantage of the other." Governor Shallenberger made the fol lowing statement at Lincoln last night 'Reports from ths primary held August 18 last ar coinipg in very slowly. Today with forty-eight counties reported ofti daily to the secretary of stale, and tele graphic reports from met other forty-four counties, the showing la that Mayor Dahl man leads me by seventy-two votes in a contest where about 5,000 .votes were csst in the democratlo column, for gov ernor. Ordinarily as son as the ballots of the. counties ar reported officially, although the majority for Mayor Dahl man, If one Is shown, should be but one vote, I would then Immediately conced his nomination so far as I am concerned. But this 1 not an ordinary primary. It haa been a .most extraordinary primary, in that the voters Cf one party have tried to nominate a candidate for governor for botn th republicans and democrats. "At th primary election held two year ago ther wer a little mnr than U.000 vote cast for th democratic and repub lican candidate for governor. At the primary held last week, as near ss can be ascertained without the official canvass, about M.OUO were cnt for the candidates tor governor on the democratic and re publican tickets, practically th tame number of votes being cast fur these offices at each primary. ' "but in th IM prlruSjiy lbs three demst. cralla candidates received SJ.677 votes In the democratic primary and Governor Shel don, without any contest whatever In his party, received M.2S2 In the republican primary. This shows that In the 1910 primary the total of votes cast I prae tloally th same as that of 1908, but a great body of republican voter moved over to the democratic column in order to de termine who th democratic candidate should be. Realloaa Vote Other Ticket. "About (4,000 votes have been cast In the democratlo columns in 1910 and something like 13,000 were cast In the republican col umn at the same primary. This shews that more than S0.O0O republicans voted as demo crats this year who voted as republicans In 1908. The Berge and Shallenberger vote of two years sgo amounted to about, 22,000 votes. Adding to this the few thousand democrats who voted with me this time be cause they felt I was entitled to a nomina tion and the thousand or mote republicans who voted for we out of compliment makes sufficient to preserve party Integrity, but suddenly the liquor question has become th paramount Issue In Neiraska, to the exclusion of anything else, and Just as many men will do almost anything in secret to obtain liquor when denied the opportun ity to secure it Ugeally, so 20,000 voters secretly deserted the republican party, which bad declared for county prohibition, and crept over into the democratic column In the attempt to nominate a democratlo candidate pledged against th thing their party is pledged for. Will Not Icnore Primary. "In a time ilk this th weak provisions of the present law supposed to protect the democratic party in its right to nominate its -own candidate proved a broken reed. Many have besought me to Ignore this pri mary as not binding upon democrats and to become an independent candidate before the voters, but I am on who believes that when I accepted the term of battl under which this political warfare has been waged, as a good soldier, I should abide by the results. I bow to the law of the land which has mad this situ tlon possible and hold sacred th oath I took to accept th ' verdict of th primary, but I do not admit yet that I am beaten and shall not do so until th final canvass is made. If I am defeated at this time I shall do all that I can in my humble way as a soldier In th ranks towards th support of th demo-. cratlo candidate and to keep Intact th splendid fighting forces of the democrats in Nebraska. I have many loyal friends as candidates upon the ticket and, although I feel that I have been beaten by repub licans In a democratlo primary, my loyhlty to the party for all that it has done for me in the past and to the friends over th state who have supported me mskes my own personal defeat of little moment to me. Why M Asks Reeount. "There Is one thing I have determined, after a great deal Qf consideration, that I ' owe to the democrats of Nebraska. Bpaclal interests have fought me all over th stat and in a democratlo primary may hav succeeded In defeating the democratlo gov ernor with republican votes. It has been -reported to me from several counties and in various precinct that republican voters were not sasltsfled with- voting the demo cratic ticket by thousands and thus con trolling the democratlo primary, but they also voted for republicans for other offloes and thus sought to determine the nomina tion of candidates of their own party as weU as thos In th democratic column. - 'I shall ask for a recount of th bal lots cast for governor on th democratlo ticket in counties where report of these erroneous ballots have been- made to, me, and find out If I can. If enough ot this was dons to determine the result, of the pri mary. Many democrats from over the state havs demanded that I ask for this recount, ' and I am the only person under the law who can secur this action. .This is th only protection the democratic party has from republican invasion and It is due to the democratlo party for ma to discover If possible if even, th frail protection af forded by the present primary law has been denied to me In a sufficient number of eases to determine, the result. If th re count shows Mayor Dahlman a. victor on th faee of the returns I will accept the result in ths best of spirit, because JNhold that on should not engage In. a political warfare who cannot stand the sting of de- teat and still preserve his food nature. - Better for Both. I believe, in view of the very extraordi nary way in which this primary was cap tured by ths republicans, both in the demo cratic column as well as their own, it will be better for the candidate of the demo cratic party, no matter whom he shall be, the most success ful dwp pattern Olid fac tory sample sale of furniture in our history.
