THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, ,AUGUST 21, 1905:
FIGHT ON PLATFORM
Idaho, Republicans- Organize
Then Adjourn.
WILL MAKENOMiNATIONS TODAY
Contest fls Over Old Sheep I,n.vr,
"Which Committee Finally Decides
to Uphold Race for Congress
Will Be a Lively One.
BOISE, .Idaho, Aug. 20. (Special.) The
first day of .the Republican state 'conven
tion pa wed .with no progress made, further
than tlife naming of the usual committees,
and effecting a -permanent organization.
The committee on resolutions was unable
to agree and adjournment was taken until
tomorrow.
The fight Is over what Is called; the
two-mile-llmil-law-question. There Is a
Jaw in this state that jsheep shall nojt be
grazed on the public domain within two
miles of an inhabited house. It is an old
6tatute. but was only recently revived
It provides that the owner of the house
may collect damages from the owner of
the sheep. The law has been sustained
fcy the Supreme Court, hence this fight, as
there is a fear on tho part of some that
the law will be repealed. The sheopmen
declare that the law will work a great
hardship on them, and some hold It will
drive them out of the state, hence they
have fought bitterly to prevent a declara
tion by this convention in favor of the
law. After a long struggle the committee
on resolutions tonight, adopted a resolution
declaring In favor of the law. with such
modifications as shall make its enforce
ment more effective. It is probable that
this question will give rise to a hard fight
on the floor of the convention.
The convention organized with the elec
tion of Lyttleton Price, of Blaine, as tem
porary chairman. At the afternoon ses
sion Colonel Thomas R. Kamer. of Fre
mont, was selected as permanent chair
man. A feature of tle session this morn
ing was the reading of a letter from Sen
ator Shoup. The letter said In part:
"VCc are now on the threshold of a cam
paign in which. In my Judgment, victory
is assured, and nothing, except lack of
harmony, can defeat us. Conditions are
such that we should carry the state by
3000 to 5000 majority."
The situation with respect to the Guber
natorial nomination has not changed. Mor
rison appears to have a good lead, though
the fight is so determined that a change
may be brought about. The sharpest con
test is between Bcale and French for Con
gress. Last night it seemed as though
Beale would go through with Morrison,
but tills evening there are Indications that
French may win. He has great Independ
ent strength- throughout the south.
HARD TRIP OF TROSPECTORS.

an exciting time in tho mountains near

difficult. Saturday morning snow began

the mountain side near the edge of a
precipice, their pack-horse lost his foot

horse was dashed to pieces and most of
the provisions in the pack were de
stroyed. As the pack-horse slipped over the edge
of the precipice, the horse Mr. Channel
was riding lost his footing and came
near plunging over the side, carrying- his
rjder with him. The animal managed to
scramble back and with the aid of Mr.
Channell get a foothold on firm ground.
Messrs. Dady and Channell climbed down
the mountain side and recovered a portion
of the provisions and camp outfit on the
pack-horse which they strapped on the
back of their saddles and continued their
Journey to their destination". They re
turned to thiF city yesterday, consider

Correspondence Between President

a photographer of this city, recently ad
dressed a letter to- President Baer, of
the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com

settle the miners' strike. The writer
said that If Christ were taken more Into
our business affairs there would be less
trouble In the world, and that If Mr. Baer
granted the strikers a slight concession
they would gladly return to work, and
the president ot the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railroad Company would have the
blessing of God and the respect of the Na
tion. President Baer replied as follows:
"I see you are evidently biased In your
religious views In favor of the right of
the workingmen to control a business In
which he has no other Interest than to se
cure fair wages for tho work he does. I
beg of you not to be discouraged. The
rights and interests of tho laboring man
will be protected and cared for, not by the
labor agitators, but by the Christian men
to whom God. in his Infinite wisdom, has
given the control of the property In this
country. Pray earnestly that the right
may triumph always, remembering that
the Lord God omnipotent still reigns and
that his rclgn Is one of law and order
and not of violence and crime."
Long Strike Ahead.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. "A fight to the bit
ter end" la the way President John
Mitchell, of the United MIncwerkers of
America, today put tho situation In the
anthracite coal strike. He says he saw
nothing to do In the strike but to hold his
men firm. Even an appeal to the Ameri
can people for Intercession, he thought,
would bo of no avail. "I see nothing ahead
but strife," he said. "There are many
rumors of action by Influential people to
bring about a- speedy settlement of the
strike, but these have all been vague, and
at present I know of none on foot. Our
position Is too well known almost to re
peat We favor arbitration. Since the
operators will not budge, the fight resolves
Itself Into a prolonged struggle. The
weakest will lose. The mlneworkere are
well fixed financially. We shall not give
In."
When "asked what effect the return to
this country of J. P. Morgan would have
on the settlement of the anthracite strike.
President Mitchell said he did not believe
It woiild have any, at least not eo far as
he was aware of. Mr. Mitchell spent the
day visiting a number of labor leaders.

by September 1.

KILLED DURING XX ASSAULT ON ITS
MOTHER BY AN UNKNOWN MAN.
He Was Evidently Bent on Robbery--Officers
Are Making a. Search, but'
Without any Good Clew.
WILBUR, Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.)
The two months' daughter of Mrs. Jas
per Hyatt was killed at a farm near
Govan, this morning under peculiar cir
cumstances. According to the mother's
story, she was seated alone in the house
about 7 o'clock, when an unknown man
came in through the kitchen. She started
for the bedroom, when the man caught
her from behind just as sho reached tho
door. Tho babe was at her breast. Mrs.
Hyatt says she struggled with the man,
who was making improper proposals.
After a struggle of several minutes the
baby dropped to the floor, and the man
discontinued his assault, going to the
kitchen where he opened drawers and
boxes apparently searching for money.
The mother remained with the baby until
satisfied It was dead. Then she ran to
the fields giving the alarm. Officers
visited the scene and found several finger
marks on the baby's throat and several
bruises. The woman was suspected for
a time, but she gave a straightforward
story and bears the best of reputation. A
search Is being made for the assailant,
but he disappeared when the woman went
out to glvo the alarm and no clew has
been secured.

sioner S. A. Calvert. This year Thurston
County, as a result of tho efforts of the
Taxpayers' League, leads off by assessing
ra!lroad3-at 512.500 per mile on main lines,
and it Is expected that a number of other
counties will place equal valuations on
railroads. It Is believed, also, that some
counties will oppose a higher valuation
than that of last year, for the Teason that
In 1E90, when -the State Board equalized
railroad valuations at $10,500 per mile,
every county in the state found It neces
sary, in order to avoid prolonged litiga
tion, tb compromise the taxes against the
railroads, and as a result had to pay from
Its general fund to the state the difference
between tho state's share of taxes figured
on the $10,500 basis and the amount actual
ly received. In one county this amounted
to EM.CCO'. The schedule of hearings Is as
