The large buildings now being erected and those concerning which plans are being formulated, the new homes that are being arranged for, the new Industries coming to the city. and the general new aspect to be given the business portions and the residence sections, would be found sufficient to take up about all the time he could spare. While this is the quiet season for many people are at the coast and the mountains, and many more traveling, yet the steady building operations in the Capital City, especially at this season, give some idea of her strength.

Charles D. Hllles. formerly secretary to Taft, now chairman of the Republican na- tional committee issued a statement today in which he said: "The only possible justification of the avowed efforts of the third term party leaders to induce the Republl- can electors In at least six states to betray their trust and cast the votes of the electoral college for Roosevelt would be the truth of the charge that Taft was nominated by a fraudulent seating of a sufficient number of delegates to affect the choice of the national convention. There Is no truth whatsoever in that charge. Roosevelt and his associates know no truth.

But they have been attempting, by vociferation and reiteration, to becloud the fact that they have no proof to offer. They would drown out by persistent cries of thief and fraud, all attempts to establish the truth. Abandon 101 Voluntarily.

Of 238 contests which Roosevelt ordered to be brought 'be-, fore the national committee, his poll-' tlcal managers voluntarily abandon-I ed 161.

S. PLANS DEVELOPMENT OF SANITARIUM FOR INDIAN CHILDREN. Lewiston. Idaho, July 27 (Special.) Uncle Sam plans to develop at Lapwai the most modern sanitarium for the cure of tuberculosis among Indian children in the United States. In fact, it will be the only institution of its kind in the world, and estimate is made that when the plant is completed, the outlay will involve an expenditure probably reaching a quarter of a million dollars.

It is further learned that the government is now working definitely on that plan, although it will likely take two or three years to complete the plant. The step taken that has resulted in the plans becoming public was the placing of Dr. J. N. Alley directly in charge of the sanitarium and school anil thA erounds relating thereto.

while Theodore Sharpe, Indian agent, will now confine his work directly to the handling of the Indian tribal affairs. The sanitarium and school thus pass beyond the function of a BILL ADOPTED FIRST PURELY REPUBLICAN-MEASURE OF PRESENT CONGRESS IS PASSED.
