reception will he tendered Candidate
Hughes tomorrow and thousands will
meet him and shake his hand.
A high important feature of the
reception wil^ Ito the meeting be
tween two ex-presidents, former
friends and then bitter rivals. Col.
Roosevelt and Judge Taft. They are
scheduled to appear and shake hands
symbolizing by this act the closing
of the breach between the old line
republicans and the progressives.
The papers are paying a great deal
of attention to this meeting between
the two men. Attention is called to
the fact that Taft will have much
to forgive, but the suggestion is made
that he owed his elevation to the pres

ly a debtor. Some predict a lively
display of sub rosa fire works.

\V. J. Rowe Is back again in the
harness having arrived yesterday on
the Umatilla. He says that he was
so busy while outside that he had lit
tle time to devote to anything except
his own affairs. He spent 24 days of
his trip on the water going and com
ing. He was ten days in the Seattle
hospital following an operation by Dr.
Horton which was successful in every
way. llis outside Journeyings were
confined to the coast and he visited
in addition to Seattle, Portland, San
Francisco and Dos Angeles.
Mr. Rowe got an extension on his
lease of the local railroad and bought
some new equipment which will prob
ably arrive on the next boat. It in
cludes a motor car for passengers and
is capable of hauling a train of cars.
.More equipment is coming along in
the spring when he plans to fix up
the road including the bridges to pro
vide for the larger travel that is ex
pected.
Horse feed, says Mr. Rowe, is the
highest he has known it to be for .
years. In fact everything is high.
Campaign excitement is running |
high as regards the presidential race. I
Mr. Rowe thinks, as a result of inter- |
views with many men in various ]
walks in life, that the contest will be
close any little thing occurring from
now to election day being liable to
swing the balance one way or the
other.

BIG TEUTONIC DRIVE
AGAINST RQUMANIA
International News Service.
BERLIN, Oct. 3. ..fflcial bulle
tin gives the location of a portion of
the allied Teutonic forces operating in
the Transylvanian Alps as beyond the
ltiittten Thurn pass. This is taken to
be a* official confirmation of the report
that the Teutonic allies are now on
Roumanian soil.
Rumors have been rift for several
days that the ceneral allies are launch
ing a huge movement in the Balkans
whose object is to nullify the offensive
opera.ions of the Roumanians and Rus
sians. Beyond the fact that large !
bodies of troops and immense supplies
ot munitions have been moved to the
Transylvanian front nothing ollieial
lias hitherto been given of the move
ment.
The present thrust into Roumania
from the Hungarian border will, ac
cording to expert opinion, cause the
Eussian-Itoumaninn pressure oil
northern Transylvania and Bulgaria
to tie relaxed if in fact it does not
cause them entirely to eon fie the of
fensive.
HEREIN, Oct. 3.—-The Tentonic
allies are showing great offensive
force 111 the operations against Her
manstadt, is the statement of the offi
cial bulletin. Extensive preparations
having been completely as the com
manders on both sides realize the
crucial nature of the present struggle
and do not spare men in order to gain
the slightest advantage.
HEREIN, <)et. 3.—Roumama is de
clared to he the most important thea
ter of the war at the present time ac

Ills resignation to the emperor. Fol
lowing the lead of his cabinet liav
also sent in their resignations.
It is practically certain that the
