The Itepublican hosts received the report of the harmony conference to day without enthusiasm, and prompt-' ly started to nominate Presidential candidates. Senator Snioot. reading the report, mentioned Roosevelt's name. It evoked sporadic applause lasting a minute and u half. An attempt to have Roosevelt In vited to address the convention was forestalled. The unanimous consent of the convention was necessary to consider the resolution. Chairman llardlni; said the harmony committee would continue Its work. (lovernor Whitman nominated ''llTles K, Unfiles. He mentioned ex-Prcsldent Tail's name and was Interrupted by five minutes cheering. Governor Whitman finished his speech at 12:1:! o'clock, when u vio lent demonstration lasting L'n min utes, bcisan. The Oregon delegation ond paraded throimtr the aisles. Mlchicm and Vermont delegates joined them. Senatoi duller nominated Root. A 14 minutes demonstration followed. After order was restored. Coventor W illis, of Ohio, nominated Iturton. when the Arkansas detection yield ed Its nominating privileges. Haunting will probably not b?sin until late this afternoon. The con vention stated It would nominate a President nnd Vice-President before adjourning tonight, although leaders doubted its ability to adhere to the program strictly. The Hughes demonstration, al though comparatively brief, was the biggest ami noisiest of any in the lie publican roincntlou thus far. Cov ernor Whitman i harm terlzed Hughes as sterling in Republicanism, free frum factional strife, his p:late life above suspiilon. bis public life with out a flaw, a great lawyer, an effec tive campaigner, an able executive, and a mature statesman.

About eight mlleH of new road alto gether wltl be located and other ni retches will be graded and grav eled.

Perkins t TRUNK RAILROAD IS PROPOSED leave Portland Tomorrow for San frdflcki and New Yotk "1 will ask nothing from Koseburg except the co-operation and good will of the people there," was the state ment of W. J". Wilsey. of New York. In a telephone conversation with the Review at noon today with refer ence to the proposed construction of a ruilroad which will conned Itose burg with Marshfield him) other Coast cities. "1 arrived In Portland Thursday night," said Mr. fcVllsey over the telephone, and I expect to remain here until tomorrow afternoon. I will then leave for New York, accom panied b Mi. Perkins. Kuroute there we will stop at San l-'ram is.-o, Chicago and other cities of Import ance. 1 passed most of the morning with Mr. Perkins and he has advised me that the people of Koseburg are desirous of having their country de veloped and are rady to lend their co-operation to that end. in the event the syndhute which I repre sent decides to constrm t t he pro posed railroad It will not be conliued to a Hue between Marshfield and Koseburg, but will extend far Kast and connect with one of tho trans eontlnenlul roads. While I under stand that the people of K oho burg a few years ago -voted bonds with which to nld in constructing a rail road from your city to the Coast, the money that would be available from these bonds would not be of interest to our company. In fact, we will ask nothing from the people of Kose burg except hearty co-operation i.l securing the rights of way and work ing out other preliminary details. In Coos County 1 found the people anx ious to aid in the project, and It Is my opinion that the road wlil Ik built as proposed. Coos County has a variety of resources which can b developed at reasonable cost. 'I b chief source in Douglas County It timber, and consequently what you need is a railroad extending :ru:n Home point in the Middle V. -I to tidewater. Such a railroad would furnish the means whereby your logi and finished lumber can be haadlej at the least possible cost. "I have known Mr. Perkins for several years ami he is well known to the syndicate I represent. I have the utmost confidence in bis ability and believi his Judgment In matters such as the one at Issue is good. He has Informed me that there is a world of limber in Doiiulas Copnly. nnd that Its removal is being retard ed on account of a tack of transpor tation facilities. Coos County was until recently confronted by a simi lar situation. I left Marshfield early Thursday and arrived here that night. I Immediately got In touch with Mr. Perkins and a lengthy con ference followed this morning. As a result of thai conference, I believe the people of Koseburg can look for ward to the construction and opera tion of an east ami west trunk line ' I Mr. Wilsey represents an Knglish syndicate and Is well known lo A. C. Marsters, .1. II. Koodi and oilier local capitalts. In addition t making many investments in the West for the people be represents, be was piohably the chief fa-tor in , bringing about the completion of the j Willamette Pacific Kai!road This railroad col $ I I .nun. nun, and ex ' tends from Kugene to Marshfield. When asked us to whether or not his company would u.-w any of the Mirveys previously made in D ug a ; County. Mr Wilsey said that w;i4 something that could not be deter mined at this time lie tniinuit d. however, that he was well in ton h with the lay of the land here nnd m difficulty would ! encountered in electing a route.
