COLUMBUS, O., June 3. The opening sessions, as well as the preliminary meet ings of the Republican State Convention today, showed that the claim that this is "Hanna's year" with the party In Ohio was well founded. It is conceded that his friends controlled almost all of the 21 Congressional districts. The closest con tests were for members of the state cen tral committee, on which there are 17 Hanna men. On some of the other com mittees the Hanna element was more nearly unanimous. It is generally known that Myron T. Herrick, who will be nominated for Gov ernor without opposition, Joins Senator Hanna In the desire not to dictate the nomination for all the state, officers, .and at the same time no fighting is wanted oa the floor of the convention. Hanna's Address on Talcing: Chair. The Auditorium was packed when J. B. Clinggerman, chairman of the state central committee, called the convention to order this afternoon. "When Senator Hanna was introduced as temporary chairman, the demonstration was long and loud. Senator Hanna responded with a speech, saying In part: "I congratulate the publican party of Onlo upon this splendid representative body, and I bespeak for the Republican party of Ohio the hope and the wish that your deliberations will be governed by good judgment and proper spirit. "I claim in the light of experience of the last half century we owe much to the fundamental principles of the Republican party for the benefits that have come to our people. The Republican party laid the foundation stone. Human liberty and protection to American industries and the American workingman are placed in the sacred archives of our country's his tory, and furnish Its foundation stone, and as 'it was raised year by year, tried by experience and encouraged by success, let me point to that magnificent structure, the monument to the principles of the Republican party, and let that party write the inscription upon Its base in letters that all who run may read 'hands off.' "Time and patience have builded that structure. The blood and sweat of our best husbandry has contributed to it. If we are to have a new era, or if the era of the 20th century is to be a continuation of Republican prosperity, let those who were the worklngmen upon that edifice 'stand guard.' "Every time that the Republican party has placed at the head of the executive affairs of this state their chosen candi date it was a guarantee that the best in terests of the people would be subserved, and all the necessary attributes of an economical and progressive administra tion would be the result. Time and re sults have proved that fact, and tn this occasion It is a pleasure to me, nearlng the close of the present administration, to pay that tribute to your present Gov ernor, which he so richly deserves. Roosevelt Is Indorsed. "What can be eald. of Ohio can be said of our Nation. Republicans today can congratulate themselves that in the direc tion of National affairs they have realized all they hoped for and all they expected in the administration of Theodore Roose velt. "We look back but a few short months, when that heroic young man, standing under the gloom of that awful tragedy at Buffalo, feeling and appreciat ing the responsibility which had come upon him. and In the presence of the American people, made that sacred prom ise to them that to the best of his ability, with his heart full of desire, it should be his aim to carry out the policies of Pres dent McKinley. (Long and continued ap plause.) And how well he has succeeded we all know; and we all feel that this con vention will express an appreciation of that Administration. "We all realize that to that young President Is due, as coming from his heart, the most patriotic, unself ish and energetic devotion to the inter ests of the people and the principles of his parts. (Long continued applause.) Stand ing In the presence of the American peo ple and hearing those words, the solemn Import of which impressed Itself -upon all who stood near him, no one can doubt his motives or even his ambitions. No one can-place him In the category of a man whose ambition is greater than his pa triotism. -' 'Human liberty, protection to Ameri can industries and our worklngmen. "We started with that slogan many years ago. It went forth and reached the hearts of every fireside in the land, and If we need ed any additional tribute or any accessory to add to the lustre of that monument. It would be the culmination of happiness and contentment perceptible everywhere around us. I once said, 'let well enough alone,' for God's sake keep letting it alone. Immigration Not to Be Feared. ""When I hear the suggestions that the time may come as a result of the enor mous influx of immigration when the spirit of Americanism will be contaminated by contact, I say, no, my friends. The insti tutions of these United States are upon a surer foundation, and there la a bul wark built years ago which stands today stronger and stronger. That bulwark Is our common schools, our Institutions of education, so that we are adequately pre pared for all assimilation that may be necessary for any and all who may come to our hospitable shores. "The future of the United States cannot be measured in words. The experience of 50 years has taught us that nothing is Impossible. There are no conditions ex isting today but that are In a further stage of development than they have been In the past. The United States stands to day in the front rank of the industrial nations of the world. Having just arrived at that point, does any one suppose we are going to stop or halt In our progress? That Is not the spirit of the American people. Capital and Labor. "Concerning the relationship between capital and labor, the day Is dawning when that all-Important aye, economical ly Important question will be taken up, discussed and considered, not purely from the standpoint of politics, but from the standpoints of humanity and sovereignty. This is simply another milestone to mark our progress in that direction, but It will not bo the last. 'Onward' Is our motto as a people, and in order that that advance may be safe and cure, all the people must look for guidance along that path to those who lead them and have led them safely in the past. "We have never failed when we have gone before the country upon that solid foundation, not of theory, but of fact, and have redeemed the prophecies we made. Old Lines to Be Followed. "The Republican party is in the lead, and we have no brass band ahead of us. "We are going to follow along the lines and by the straight path which we have trodden for nearly 50 years. You must ac cept results as proof, and If you consider not only your own material interest, but the best Interests of society and of your common country, you cannot fall to find yourselves In the ranks of the Republican party, without any regard to past party affiliation's, with that banner floating aloft .which proclaims ihe-serene repleteness of the Republican party." - iProlonged ap plause.)

HARRIMAN Prominent Officials Malce a Journey Through, Territory Abounding In Latent Agricultural and Tim ber Resources. (By a Staff Correspondent.) A seven-hour ride by rail from Portland today will bring the traveler to the bor ders of a land of which so little Is known by fully nine-tenths of tho people of thl3 city, that It might as well be in darkest Africa. Of the remaining tenth, not all are familiar with the latent wealth of this isolated region, their knowledge of the country being limited from the fact that tho only avenues through which trade and travel can pass are "through jagged, deep ravines, where the gorge, like a gateway, opens a passage rude, to the wheels of the emigrant's wagon." The aspect from these rude wagon roads which follow wherever possible tho water courses, Is not inviting from an agricultural stand point, and agriculture being essentially tne cornerstone from which Oregon's greatness has builded, we have overlooked this field rich in possibilities, or at best have given it but superficial examination. Now that the older settled portions of the state, or those easier of access, have worked up reasonably near to the limit of development. Central Oregon, vast in area and rich in possibilities, is attract ing more attention than ever before, and increasing publicity is being given it. In the old days, civilization began in a new country with the arrival .of the emi grant wagon, hut the vanguard! f mod ern , civilization Is the track-laying gang with the tonstractloa train,' Jirid in -the case of Central Oregon, the construction train has not been stalled on the borders for several years. Mr. Harrlrann Urged, to Build Road. It was for the purpose of inducing Mr. Harriman to build into this isolated re gion that President Lytic, of the Colum bia Southern, and President "Wilcox, of tho Portland Flouring Mills Company, made a trip to New York about six weeks ago. In New York they were joined by President Mohler, of the O. R. &' N., who is the chief representa tive of tho Harriman Interests in this state. They received some assurance from Mr. Harriman that the road would be built at. an early date, but shortly after their return the railroad magnate wanted more facts regarding the country to be traversed by the proposed road. To secure the desired data tho exploring expedition which returned to Portland yesterday morning started inland from Shanlkd, the present terminus of the Co lumbia Southern, early last week. The party included President Mohler, Chief Engineer Kennedy and Assistant En gineer Jamleson of the O. R. & N. Com pany, President Lytle and Chief Engineer Hammond of the Columbia Southern, OHIO REPUBLICANS WILL NOMINATE HIM FOR GOVERNOR TODAY XVROX T. HERKICIC, OP CLEVELAND. President "Wilcox of tho Portland Flouring Mills Company, Professor French of tho University of Idaho, end a representative of The Oregonlan. The party started well equipped for the trip with two pas senger rigs and three freight wagons for handling the tents and commissary de partment. The country for the first few miles out of Shanlko presents about as uninviting an appearance as could well be imagined, the only redeeming feature of the view being an occasional small band of white-faced cattle, whose sleek condi tion seemed hardly possible on the meager fare they were picking from the sand and rocks. It was the Intention of the railroad men to see as much as possible of the coun try lying oh both sides of the proposed extension, and accordingly Antelope, which is off to the east of the line, was first on the list. This Is an old settle ment, and although It Is several thou sand feet above sea level and most of the farming is "dry," the ranches have a prosperous appearance, and the town people are not so far away from the rail road as to worry over the fact that the purvey does not run through their back yard. The old stage road was followed from Antelope to Baiters, on the banks of Trout Creek, where the party an chored for the night. At frequent inter vals between the two places are small "pockets" In the ravines or along the banks of tiny brooks where seepage and a mild attempt at Irrigation has enabled a small rancher to get a foothold. This farming was on a scale too small for the railroad men, and not until they emerged front the canyon into Trout Creek Valley was there much to he seen In the agricul tural line. There are a number of fine ranches along the rich bottom lands of Trout Creek, and there Is sufficient water to keep them in good condition. No finer alfalfa can be found anywhere than that which Is now waving high on some of these Trout Creek ranches. Rich. Land at Hay Creelt. All of these farmers, unless they drifted in from the shiftless sections of the Wil lamette Valley, have neat, comfortable homes, fruit, flowers, tidy lawns and gar dens, and in spite of their isolation seem prosperous and happy. Hay Creek, the home of the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company, the largest institution of the kind in' the United States, and inci dentally in the world, is the center af a great many thousand acres of rich land, nearly all of which is controlled by the sheep company. The company has about 70,000 head of sheep and use most of the bottom land for hay, which Is fed In the Winter time. The party halted here long enough to witness the operation of shear ing sheep by machinery, and then jour neyed on for Prlnevllle. The road build ers, if these trails can be dignified by the name of roads, followed the course of least resistance nearly all the way up to the Blue Mountains, and accordingly there Is not very much agricultural land in sight of tho road- except when It twists its corkscrew way up - to the-crest-of Zi hill and discloses some of the new farms 'on the higher lands that are invisible from the valleys and ravines. These up land farms, of course, are less productive than those of the valleys and are far less pleasing to the eye. Nearlng tho Blue Mountains straggly timber appears, and off to the east a sawmill is turning out lumber suitable for barns and fencing, but not very good for fancy building ma terial Near the crest of the mountains and for a short distance down either slope a few good trees of yellow pine are seen, but there is nothing encouraging in the timber line on the Blue Mountain side of the proposed extension of the railroad. Rich. Country About Prlnevllle. Along the road down the mountain and clear into Prlnevllle the houses of new settlers are quite plentiful. There are big tracts of luxuriant sage brush stretching for miles between the Ochoco and the hills, and wherever It has been grubbed out and grain given a chance, very good results have been secured. Prlnevllle, with the Ochoco and Crooked Rivera both flowing through the city, has an abundance of water for Irrigation, and the gardens and lawns show the re- (Concluded on Second Page.) E MA!

Strained relations exist between Postmaster-General Payne and First Assistant Wynne, and as a result, one of them will probably have to go, when -the matter la laid before tho "Presi dent. The probabilities are that Payno will be the one, not because ho has failed In his duty, but because the work haa become uncongenial to him. and the De partment Is much top large for a man la his health. When Payne took the department it was expected that he would look after tha political end of affairs for the Administra tion, on account ot his long connection with tho National committee, and ac quaintances with politicians throughout the country. It was supposed that tha department would run along "very smooth ly and would not require eo very much executive action. But the developments of the last few months have been such as to show that rigid care Is necessary In the management of this department, which handles so much money and where thero are opportunities for so many irregular ities. Tho differences between Payne and Wynne resulted, first, from Payne's criti cism of the First Assistant, because tha latter was too free In giving out reports of abuses and irregularities to the press, while the investigation was In progress. Payne believes that Wynne has also en couraged some newspaper attacks upon him. Wynne feels that Payne has not stood by him as he should, and Is trying to prevent him from getting credit for the investigations as far aa they have gone. When the matter Is brought to the no tice of the President Wynne's position .will be quite strong, because he began the fight on Machen and Beavers. When Wynne became First Assistant he found that the two bureaus presided over by these men were run almost Independent of the First Assistant, and both of them were Inclined to defy him. He began to assert his position, and followed up tha newspaper attacks upon the irregular ities of the department. The fact that ha has forced both ot the officials out will no doubt help him with the President ha any contest with Payne. Possibly Wynne will be made Postmaster-General, but at tention is directed more towards Fourth Assistant Bristow, who, more than any: one else, has been responsible for unearth ing the Irregularities In the department. 3Ioody '"Will Leave Cabinet In. 1004.
