STATE CONVENTION
Harmonious Meeting of
Republicans.
Furnish for Governor.
Ouor Wei Not Before the Oonven

fiaily Boa tun.
!y (he overwhelming vole of
i IS io H'i William J. Furnish was
made tliu Republican nominee for
Governor of Oregon by the state
convention, defeating II. E. Ank
tny, offered as a substitute for T.
T, Geer, whose cause wan duscrted
by his friends no effectually that
hid name wan not mentioned be
fore the convention. Following
the Furnish victory R. 8. Bean
w an nominated for Supreme Judge,
F. I. Dunbar for .Secretary of
State, Ch'irles 8. Moore for State
Treasurer, all by acclamation; A.
M. Crawford wai made the candi
date for Attornoy General aftt-r a
lively race willi A. B. Hammond;
J. II. Aekerman won in a walk
against W. C. Aldorson for Super
intendent of Public Instruetion,
and J. R. Whitney, of Linn, wan
named for State Printer an the re
null of the only really exciting con
test of the day. A strong ticket of
Senator and Reprenentatives wax
p jt iu the Hold by the several joint
di.-tricts, and a platform wuh
adopted embracing the cardinal
principle on which the party will
make it campaign. No indorse
tnent wax given any candidate for
United State Senator. It requir
ed from 11 o'clock in the morning
until 11 o'clock at night to com
plete the work of the convention,
hut the delegate were determined
to do what wan before them with
out delay, and they felt when they
nwarmed out of the Armory and
returned to the hotel lobbies to
talk it over that they had done a
good day' work.
Although it wa expected that
Mr. Furnish would become the
nominee of the convention, the
vote he received was a surprise
even to hi (upporter. But he
had made a determined campaign,
and he made it well. Instead of
resting on hi oar when Multno
mah declared for him, Tuesday
night, he and his enthusiastic
crowd of rooter kept at work far
into the nifcht, and when morning
broke a cloud of despair hung
heavy o'-er the Geer camp in the
Hotel Perkins. A switch was the
only thing which offered the slight
cst'hopeof deteating the enterpris
ing bunchgrasser, and Mr. Ank
eny, who wag already the candi
date of Southern Oregon, wub se
lected an the reoipient of the Ceer
strength. But it was too late.
The rush to march in the Furnish
parade spread to the Geer ranks
like wildfire, and county after
county that would have stood in
line for the Governor, had his
name been presented, fled like
sheep before a storm into Furnish
corral. When the convention as
sembled in the morning and R. A.
Booth, who was made temporary
chairman, took the rostrum, he
read the news of Eastern Oregon's
coming triumph in the scorns of
blue Furnish badge that adorned
the delegates before him, Only
Pc, Kepue, of Jackson, o Ml lb
Geer captains, whs active, lie was
bustling about among the delegates,
arranging for the transfer to Ank
eny, and hope shone in his face.
But the rest of the Geer people
wore a look of resignation, and,
while they rallied feebly round
Mr. Ankeny, were surprised only
at the extent of their defeat, and
when, after the ballot had been
taken, their rugged old candidate
moved to mako it unanimous,
even Kccne, who had led all the
Ankeny cheering, was loudest in
responding "Aye!"
KaMnru Oregon. '
Eastern Oregon to the front!
Portland lifts its hat and respect
fully salutes. Eastern Oregon
has been clamoring for something
for a long time; now it is satisfied?
Governor, Congressman, State
Treasurer; and if it wants any
thing more next time all it has to
do is to ask lor it. The only mis
take made by the convention or
the only thing that Eastern Ore
gon can reasonably complain
about is that our friend Edward
Everett Young was not nominated
for State Printer. That would
perhaps have filled Eastern Ore
gon's cup of Joy to overflowing.
But Eastern Oregon is tolerably
happy anyway. It has carried off
the lion's share; and it deserved to
do so. They are admirably wide
awake people up there. 1 hey do
things. If we had ten thousand
or even two thousand of the busi
ness men of Eastern Oregon towns
In Portland we would have a city
of 200,000 people here-and every
thing else in proportion1 by Jan
uary 1,1906.

We take the following from
the pen of one of the best quali
fied men in eastern Oregon to ex
plain the High school question, be
ing himself an ex-school teacher
and an attorney of no mean ability
Heretofore we have stated that the
amount to be raised for the pur
pose of erecting a building and
other expenses and the running of
the school for the first year would
not amount to over 16 cents on the
f 100 in this county. This amount
is too trifling to take into consider
ation when the good to be gained
is considered. A free site is offer
ed here in town and a half dozen
free sites can be had in the coun
ty. Every man who ha children
to educate should vote for the
county High school.
"This is one of the questions
which is to lie submitted to the
voters at the next general election.
Concerning the provisions of the
law with reference to the establish
ment of such a school, the public
seems to have but very little gener
al information. Quite a number
of voters have asked the writer nf
this article to explain the matter,
and as it appear to be ot interest
to all, we have dicided to give the
public a brief synopsis of the act
relating thereto without discussing
the merits nf the question.
The full text of the act can be
Tie Easy To Feel Goo a.
Countless thousands have found a
blessing to the body in Dr. King's
Saw Life Pills, which - positively cure
Constipation, tiick Headache, Dizzi
ness, jRimdice, Malaria, Fever and
Ague and all Liver and Stomach
troubles. Purely vegetable; never
gripe or weaken. Only 25o at Mam-
son A Winnek Co.'t drug store.
Drummers have been quite
plentiful during the past two weeks j
and our merchants are stocking up i
for the spring and summer trade. ;
Our success last fall was enormous.'
Everybody satisfied. If you want a '
suit made to order give us a trial. You
will also be satisfied, Pee Brt Hire.
2Gth day of February, 1901.
Among the other things the act
provides that there may be estab
lished In any county in this state
one or more county high schools.
Upon tho presentation of a pe
tition signed by one hundred or
more qualified electors, taxpayers
of the county, the county court
must submit to the voters the
question of establishing and main
taining a county high school. A
majority of all votes cast on the
proposition, if in favor of it, is de
clared sufficient to carry the same.
If carried, the county court is re
quired, within thirty days aftei
canvassing said vote, to locate
said school in some suitable and
convenient place in said county.
The said court shall also estimate
the cost of purchasing premises
and erecting and furnishing a
building, with tho cost of conduct
ing such school for the ensuing
twelve months: If the erection of
a building is not deemed expedi
ent, the court may rent rooms for
such a school, or may contract
with any district maintaining a
high school in the county to teach
all county high school pupils t a
just rate per capita. In any event
the cost shall be paid' out of the
high school fund, to provide which,
tho county court is required to
levy a special tax upon all assess
able property of the county. This
tax is levied and collected in the
expenses of the school. The
school will be under the control of
a county high school board con
sisting of the county judge and
two county commissioners, the
county treasurer and the county
school superintendent. The course
of study shall embrace a period of
four years, and any pupil complet
ing the same in a satisfactory
manner will be entitled to a state
high school diploma. The school
is free to all pupils in the county
who have successfully passed the
eighth grade uniform final exami
nations. The above is the gist of the law
on the matter and we think it is
sufficient to enable any voter to
pass intelligently upon the ques
tion. The necessary petition has
already been presented to our
county court and the question will
be presented to the voters at the
general election next June. The
ballot will contain the words,
"For County High School, Yes;"
"For County High School, No;"
and the voter will indicate his
choice by marking that which he
favors. . ;
Respectfully Yours,
Welu V. VOOD.

Dr. L. V. Tice was seen on the
