The strength of the Eastern Ore

doubtful of the binding qualities of
the agreement which the majority of

FIRST TI.MK IX HISTORY
PORTLAND. Ore., July 25 (VP)
For the first time In Oregon's his
tory, the republican state commit
tee gathered here today to nominate
a candidate for governor. This nom
inee will fill the place left vacant
by the death of Senator George W.
Joseph, nominated at the May pri
mary election. Senator Joseph died
i month after his nomination.
Phil Metschan, chairman of the
committee, said he would call the
convention to order at 2 p. m. Dur
ing the moraine, however, nre-con-
vcntlon caucuses were held in hotel
oc?ns throughout the city and the
merits and qualifications of the ten
candidates were discussed.
Those generally credited with wide
knowledge of things political in
Oregon today confessed complete
confusion, and the most prominent
republican leaders declined to make
any prediction as to the outcome.
The delegates themselves. In general,
had p bewildered air. Most of them
are unacquainted with one another
and until they arrive here had no
opportunity for an exchange of views
on candidates or anything else.
Kiddle Anions Candidates
The ten men upon whom political
conversation generally settled today
wero Tom B. Kay, state troasurer:

missioner. It was ex pec led nominations will
not be reached until Saturday after
noon. This afternoon's session was to be
occupied with routine affairs, ques
tions of procedure and passage of
resolutions, among other things.
Whether the chairman will be se
lected before or after the candidate
lr. chosen, was another question to
bo taken up. When all theso things
have been disposed of the conven
tion will adjourn for the day.
Ittillotlng Tomorrow?

dolence on the death of Senator
Joseph, and one asking endorsement
oi the Umatilla Rapids power devel

ing in congress.

nature. At this complimentary bal
loting the strength of candidates less

Shot Without Trial.
WASHINGTON, July 25 VP) The
treasury today prohibited Importation
from Russia of pulp wood purchased
bv the International Paper company
on the ground that convict labor had
entered Into Its production.
Assistant Secretary Lowman said
evidence In tfca hands of the treasury
was that convict labor had been used
In loading the pulpwood on ships at
Archangel. The reports, he said, de
scribed the condition of the convicts
and the shooting of three of them
because they stole bread from one of
the pulp wood ships.
The action was taken under a tariff
bill provision which prohibits the
entry of goods produced wholly or In
part by convict labor. The customs
service recently denied entry to two
ship loads of Russian lumber but
Lowman admitted It after tho gov
ernment failed to show It had been
produced by convict labor.

Camp Burned Loggers
Help Fire Warden.
Fire broke out yesterday about 1
o'clock In the afternoon on cut-over
land of the Mt. Emily Lumber com
pany, and for a time threatened a
band of sheep belonging io Joe Cuh
na, according to L. C, Morehead, fire
warden. The herder's camp was
partly burned but the crew saved
part by throwing it into tho creek.
The fire, In old Blaahlngs made
last year, spread very . rapidly and
burned about 10 acres before being
brought under control by the slate
warden's forces and a crew from the
Mt. Emily logging camp. It was
necessary to keep a crew at work
throughout the night to prevent lur-
ther spread of the fire.
A crew of about 20 men was at
the scene of the fire a short time
after it started, preventing it from
spreading over the entire slashing
area which consists of several thou
sand acres.
Thirteen fires have been reported
in the Union county state patrol area
this month, only three of which were
caused by lightning.
In speaking of smoking, Mr. More
head points out that cigorets will
burn rapidly in low humidity such
as experienced yesterday, and urges
all to be careful when in areas where
fire could be started.

Mormons Commemorate Entrance Of
Pioneers Into Valley of Salt Lake
PALMYRA, N. Y, July 25 Wl A
four day period of pioneer services
in commemoration of the organiza
tion of the, 'Church of . Latter Day
Saints and the 83rd anniversary of
tne Mormon pioneers' entrance into
the valley of Oreat Salt Lake, began
Thursday at the national shrine of
Mormomsm tne Joseph Smith farm
near this village.
On this farm Joseph Smith told
his followers 108 years r ago he had
climbed the hill of Cumorah under
heavenly direction and unearthed a
volume of gold plates containing the
record of a lost American civiliza
tion and the tents of the "true re
ligion." A total of 250 missionaries and 200
embers ot th Mormon church from
14 states and Canada have assembled
to hear discussion of missionary prob
lems and commemorative addresses
and witness a pageant. Depicting the
history of religious activity from the
tlmo of Adam, church records say
100 years ago 30 believers in Joseph
Smith's translation of the golden
plates met on a farm near Waterloo
and organized the Church of Latter
Day Stiints. This took place April
V, 1830. while on July 24. 1847, 83
years ago the Mormon pilgrims made
their entrance into the valley of
Great Salt Lake, where they founded
the present stronghold of the Mor
mon religion.

Tho application of the California
Oregon Power company for this de
velopment was filed in 1021. For
years It was held up because of an
opinion of the attorney general that
no applications for rights in Klam
ath basin could be approved for the
reason that the government had
withdrawn from appropriation all
waters in the basin. A modified
opinion, however, was handed down
by the attorney general last Sep
tember, holding that applications
might be approved if they did not
conflict with federal interests. The
Copno application calls for the ap
propriation of 1500 second feet to
develop an estimated 70,057 horse
power utilizing a fall of 411 feet.
Agreement Seen
A telegram from Reiss to Luper
yesterday stated that he was about
to agree with the federot power com
mission on lemii o; a license for de
velopment of the so-called Grant
power site, "predicated on a progres
sive development contempating com
pletion of the first development in
fivo yars and fill development in 20
years." He Inquired as to the status
of tho application, and whether, on
assurance that tho license would be
granted, tho stato would net favor
ably on the application.
To this State Engineer Luper re
plied that "permits will be Issued
under your water rights application
when we receive notice from the fed
eral power commission of time for
beginning and completion of con
struction to be fixed in the license."
Luper Informed Reiss that the pres
ent application covers only the de
velopment at tho Grant site, and that
it a larger development is contem
plated the application should be
amended.
"But we see no reason," he added,
"why a permit may not be issued for
tho Canyon development." Just what
that Is was no's clearly understood
here. .
