PORTLAND, July 2 1. Approxi
mately 1200 delegates to the Oregon
Slate assembly, the first held since
the passage of the direct primary
law fn 1905, which did away with the
couvention nominating system, con
vened here today to recommend re
publicans for the slate offices. The
assembly was called after a hard
waged war against it by opponents,
who allege that the assembly is the
first step toward putting the knite
into Statement No. 1, which provides
that the legislature shall elect to the
United States senate the man who
receives the highest vote at the gen
eral election. Enemies of the as
sembly also declare that It Is illegal,
.since the primary law makey no pro
vision for It. Advocates of the as
sembly, on the other hand, maintain
that it is the only way to harmonize
the republican party and keep the
organization in power. Portland Is
a seething political hotbed. The
fight, for the gubernatorial recom
mendation is seemingly between Dr.
A. 0. Smith, of Portland, and Act
ing Governor Bowerman, of Condon.
Governor Benson In all probability
will receive the endorsement of the
assembly for secretary of state. As
sembly nominations are merely rec
o men da t Ions, aud its candidates must
he voted on at the primary election
in September, while the general elec
tion will occur In November. ,
W. C. Bristol, of Portland, was
elected temporary chairman, and then
morning session was given over to
reports and passing on the credentials
of delegates. A number of speeches
were made defending the assembly.
The afternoon session was chiefly J
interesting on account or the con
test for the recommendation for gov
ernor Dr. Smith and Acting Gov
ernor Bo worm hi, appeared In the
field, whHe C. B. Moore, of Portland,
loomed np on the political horizon
as a formidable "dark horse." Bow
rrmnn's friends declared that he led
the trio with 100 votes to spare, but
acknowledged Uiat if the first bal
lot failed to land him the prize his
chances of losing out were good.
Mayor Simon was suggested as a
compromise candidate, but his boom
met on early death.

ALBANY, Or., July 21. A hun

terminus or the Corvallis & Eastern
railroad. Already the flames have
claimed three lives, and the fire Is
gaining ground, covering an area of
two miles early this morning. Prop

valuable timber on the forest reserve
has been burned. Phillip Richmond,

have abandoned the investigation
Into the death of Ira Rawn, president
of the Monon Railway, who, It was
claimed yesterday, had been shot In
a tussel wltha burglar who was rob
bing the Ravrn home at an early hour
Wednesday morning. It Is assert
ed by the authorities that the rail
way magnate shot himself, and that
there Is absolutely no evidence to
support the story told by the fam
ily that Rawri had been shot by an
Intruder. Alleged blood stains prov
ed to be red paint, and ttje whole
story of a fight with the burgjar
seems to be unfounded. The fact
that Rawn was Involved In alleged
frauds In the lllionis Central car
repairing department, Is, considered
by the officers as being sufficient mo
tive for the suicide.

Excellent bills are on at both of
the local theatres this week, aud
their appreciation is best attested by
the largo crowds In evidence at eacfi
performance. Usually the torrid
weather of July aud August has a
discouraging effect upon the play
houses, but this season It is quite
different and the crowdB average
well with those of the wintre season.
Perhaps this condition Is due to the
fact that the attractions are superior
to those presented in the puat, or
possibly, the theatregoers have taken
to the stock productions, which are
quite new and novel in this section.
At the Star theatre "Love Tan

ing much laughter and good feeling
this week, and to say that the sev

would be plucing it mild. "Love
