Republican National Assembly Meets
With Great Enthusiasm.
Chicago, June 17__ Amid scenes of
stirring enthusiasm, the Republican
convention of 1908 began its delibera
tions at noon yesterday in the presence
of an assemblage estimated at more
than 14,000 people, with the sounds of
patriotic airs alternating with frenzied
shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and the other
popular heroes, the first tocsin of the
coming struggle from the graceful ora
tor of Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar
Burrows, and the initial formalities
which started this momentous gather
ing into motion. The opening session
lasted less than two hours, and was
less notable for the business accom
plished than for the opportunity it af
forded of seeing again this stirring
picture of the people assembled from
every corner of the country to select
a candidate for president of the United
States. The actual work of the day
was quickly accomplished and at night
the various important committees on
credentials, platform, organization, etc.,
were preparing for the more important
business to come.
FIGHT ON INJUNCTIONS.
Labor
Men Offer Radical Plank and
Employers Resist.
Chicago, June 17—After a session of
a subcommittee which continued until
12:20 a. in., the subcommittee of 13
of the committee on resolutions of the
Republican national convention, to
which has been referred the task of
preparing the final draft Bf the plat
form. deferred until 10 o’clock this
morning final action on the anti injunc
tion plank. The principal struggle cen
ters upon this plank. Senator Long lead
ing the fight for retention of the dec
laration contained in Wade Ellis’ draft
platform.
v
The Taft forces claim to have the
advantage in the struggle. They assert
that the appointment of a subcommit
tee of 13 to consider the various con
troverted planks was a distinct success
and point with pride to the fact that
Chairman Hopkins had appointed on
this committee nine men who favor the
injunction plank and four who are
opposed to it. The Taft managers pre
dict a favorable result in the full com
mittee and in the convention, but ad
mit that their fight will be desperate.
The opposition, still under the leader
ship of Speaker Cannon, who directs
his forces from his quarters at the
Union League Club, isrtonight clainvng
30 votes to 22 or. the full committee
and expressing confidence that w’hen
the platform goes to the convention,

Salem.—At a meeting of the build
ing committee of the state fair board
the contract was let for enlargement
of the grandstand at the fair grounds
so that it will accommodate an at
tendance of 6,(H)0 people. McFarlane,
Denison & McLaren, Salem con
tractors, were awarded the contract
for $3,900
From the reports that have been
received the state fair this year will
be one of the grandest in tb- history
of the state. Nearly every county has
signified its intention to be on hand
with a large exhibit next fall.
The board has already concluded to
move the administration offices to an
other location to make room for addi
tional county exhibits, and the build
ing committee is seriously contem
plating the necessity of putting up
new structures. Besides the remodel
ing of the grandstand, a new entrance
will be constructed before the fair
opens. The members of the building
committee who were in session are
W. F. Matlock. Frank Lee and F. W.
Welch. Mike Wisdom was also in
Salem with the committee inspecting
the grounds.
The organization of the Portland
Country club and Livestock associa
tion has been a great factor in bring
ing better horses to the west this year
and will continue to be so in future
years. It is therefore expected that
the racing feature at the fair this
year will be much stronger than in
former years. The large purses hung
at Portland will attract many driv
ers and breeders who have never be
fore visited the Pacific Coast. The
two fairs, coming one following the
other, will enable both to get the full
benefit of the exhibitions, which will
be the best ever seen on the coast.

Newport—Lincoln county marks an
other step forward by providing a high
school for th< young men and women
who have just graduated from the com
mon schools. The county’ court has
issued an order giving both Newport
and Toledo money to establish high
school courses immediately, though the
question us to where trie school will
eventually’ be located was left to popu
lar vote two years hence.
Events have been coming thick and
fast the past two months on Yaquina
bay. The organization of a commer
cial club was almost instantly followed
by a vote to establish a high school,
and at the same time a large influx of
capital caused large changes of hold
ings of property and promoted building
in Newport till now some $20.000 of
new buildings are under wav.
TOMATOES PAY WELL.
Grants
Pass
Farmers Double Their
Acreage.
Grants Pass.—The tomato industry
of Rogue River valley has made rapid
strides, particularly since the erection
of the cannery last year, and the
small farmer and berry-raiser have
found it profitable to set out idle
land with the young plants. This
year's acreage will be double that of
last year, and it is anticipated that
it will increase in like manner for
several years, for the reason the can
nery has a capacity to take all the
growers can produce for the next
five years; in fact, it is understood
that the company will contract to
that effect.
The plants do well here when
planted in rows five and six feet
apart, and planted in this manner
they will usually produce from 20 to
40 tons an acre, and find ready mar
ket at $19 a ton for canning purposes.
The necessary expenses for harvest
ing and marketing are $25 an acre.
The tomato plant, if properly culti
vated, will grow from four to five
feet high, and cover a proportionate
space. Visitors who have looked over
the field where the matused plants are
laden with fruit, have remarked that
they lookell more like trees than
vines. ~

It is
estimated that $209 can be realized as
a net profit upon each acre.
Strawberries Perish for
Want of Water.
Hood River, Or., June 16__ Giant
powder was successfully used Saturday
night in an effort to cause the growers
composing the Farmers’ Irrigating
Company the loss of a large portion of
their strawberry crop.
Disgruntled
laborers are suspected.
About 150 feet of fluine on a hill
side on the west side of Hood River
was destroyed, and the water in the
big irrigating ditch is shut off. j As a
result, the crop of two-thirds of the
valley, about 400 acres, is without wa-
ter until such time as the flume can
be repaired, which will take at the
least estimate three or four days.
The growers stand to lose at least
10,000 erates of berries, worth $30.000,
and if the fluine cannot be repaired
before Wednesday, the loss will be far
greater. The damage to the ditch will
not amount to more than $500.
The point where the ditch was de
stroyed is high on a hillside. The
members of the company state that
it must have taken considerable work
and three or four boxes of powder to
product such disastrous results. This
is the ditch from which all of the wa
ter is taken to irrigate the big straw
berry crop on the west side of the
valley.
Although 25 men were hurried to
the seeue of the trouble as soon as it
was known today, it is estimated that
it will take three days, working day
and night, to repair the damage.
The Hood River berry season is now
at its height, and no water to sustain
the plants and ripen the berries dur
ing the present warm weather will cut
down the yield to almost nothing. For
the past few days from fivo to seven
ears of berries have been shipped
daily.
An investigation started this lifter-
noon by M. H. Nickelson, secretary,
and A. C. Staten, manager of the com
pany, in an effort to determine if pos
sible who the ditch destroyers were,
developed the fact that the noise of
the shots was heard two miles away
from the spot where the explosion took
"place, and that it occurred about 11
o'clock. Beyond this, nothing is defi
nitely known.
It is said, however, that the officers
of the company have under suspicion
several men whom they had in their
employ last year, and to whom they
refused to give work this summer.
SMALLPOX ON TRANSPORT.
Sherman Reports by Wireless
Must be Quarantined.
and
Portland, June 16.—Wireless
patches were received Sunday by
Oregonian from the transport Sherman
while at sea that there was smallpox
on board. The Sherman is bound for
Portland from the Philippines with
the First Infantry, 585 men in all, un
der command of Colonel McGonieal.
Before the vessel reached Honolulu
a navy man returning died of the dis
ease and was buried at sea. Two days
ago an enlisted man was taken ill with
smallpox. The two men were in dif-
ferent parts of the ship, so the whole
vessel is considered infected.
This
means that under the quarantine regu
lations each of till* 1182 men on board
must be vaccinated and quarantined
for 14 days and the transport must
be fumigated.
This process necessitates disembark
ing nil the men, and owing to the lack
of facilities at the Columbia River
station, tents must be sent from some
of the armv posts of the district. Col
onel Rogers, in command, fears that
since the men have just returned from
the Orient, eamping out in this cli
mate will be injurious to their health
and he has requested the department
to have the transport with all on
board sent to the quarantine station
at San Francisco. What will be done
in this matter cannot yet be known.
The First Infantry is en route to
Vancouver, where it will be stationed,
succeeding the Fourteenth Infantry,
which was transported a few weeks
ago to Manila.

injunctions in labor controversies,
was disposed of at 2 A. M. today,
when, by a vote of 35 to 16, with one
