Warren O. Hnrdlng, United States
Senator from Ohio, was nominated
for the presidency by the republican
notional convention on the tenth bal
lot, after a deadlock which had lust
ed for nine ballots and which finally
forced out of the running all the or
iginal favorites.
As his running mate, the conven

plan of a combination of the Harding
backers to nominate for the piece
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot, of Wis
consin. Coolldge was nominated by
Wallace McCamant of Oregon.
The collapse of the forces of Gov
ernor Frank O. Lowden and ' their
transfer in large part to Senator
Harding put the Ohio candidate
over, says the Sunday Oregonian.

OWEXS FIXED I27..V)
FOR TRAP'MXO REAVER
Trapping beaver, mink and musk
rats contrary to the statute of the
I state of Oregon, was one of tin) four
counts against Barney Owens of
Paulina, up before Judge Bowman
last Thursday on the complaint of
H. D. McDonald, game warilan for
that district.
and Senator Johnson, the third of
the trio of leaders on the early bal
loting also went ateadily down hill.
Entering the convention four days
ago as a candidate distinctly of the
"dark horse" class, Senator Harding
got only 64 votes on the first ballot
Friday, and on the second he drop
ped to 56. When the convention ad
journed Friday night at the end of
the fourth ballot he had 61.
In all-night conferences among the
party chiefs, however, he was men
tioned many times as the most liko
ly to break the nomination dead
lock should neither Wood, Lowden
nor Johnson take - a commanding
lead Saturday. They all failed to do
so, Wood and Lowden running neck
and neck for leadership on four bal
lots, while the strength of the Cal
ifornia candidate dwindled steadily.
Meantime Harding pushed his to

In hi possession the bide of a bea

person of tire game warden, in case
he should be arrested for trapping
beaver.
Mr. Owen was Indicted on the first
three charges and fined for these,
hut received no punishment far the
last charge. For trapping contrary to
the law be was fined $50.00 and
costs, and for the second two charges
he was assessed $25.00 each, a to
tal of $127 50 in all.
Part of the fine was paid, and Mr.
Owen was set at liberty to work out
the fine, making monthly payments,
starting with July.
At first the prisoner claimed to
be innocent, but after being locked
up in the county Jail for a while be
decided to plead guilty and came up
for trial.
Mr. Owens has a wife and three
children. Mrs. Owens is the proprie

KASTERX HTAR INITIATES
J. W. Carlson and L'na Carlson had
conferred upon them the degrees of
the Order of Eastern Star last Thurs
day night by Carnation Chapter of
the lodge rooms. . In spite of the ab
sence of several of the officers, the
work was conducted in a manner
very creditable to the lodge.
Ada Morris was elected Secretary
to fill that office for the remainder
of this year, and Mrs. Pancake re
ceived the position of Treasurer for
the same length of time. They were
Immediately Installed into their of
fices. Mrs. B. E. Nevel was received by
the chapter as a member of Carna
tion Lodge by affiliation.
The motion to suspend lodge for
the months of July and August was
carried, so there will only be one
more meeting before thir recess.
Delicious refreshments of frozen
fruit salad and wafers were served
and a social hour was spent by the
members of the order present.
Mrs. Jim Soott and children re
turned from Portland Friday night,
where they have been visiting.

many states swinging to him from
the columns of the leaders and of
various favorite sons. The Johnson
managers, fearing a landslide was
Impending, then made a last play to
save the fortune of their candidate.
Tbey moved to recess for a couple of
hours in order to take an inventory
and seek a new combination. The
Wood and Lowden forces, both vir
tually at the neak of their strength
but disheartened at the long string
of ballots without material gains,
fell in with the recess plan and the
convention adopted It.
In the dramatic succession of con
ferences that followed the fate of
the candidates virtually waa sealed.
Some of the Wood and Lowden man
agers tried Ineffectually for an ag
reement which would hold their del
egates in line and kill off the Hard-
of the Republican national convention.
WEDNESDAY
WEATHER A XI) CROP fOXDITION ,
The forepart of the . week was
warm and dry. The latter part wu '
cool except In some of the eastern j
counties, with copious to heavy rains j
In Western, central and northeastern j
counties. The warm weather caused I
rapid growth of vegetation except 1
where moisture was insufficient. The '
rains were of great benefit to all !
crops and grasses and saved mater
ially to delay the season of forest
fire hazard. Far mwork progressed
satisfactorily.
Winter wheat had begun to suf
fer from drought In mnnv lnnaliHea
and was heading short in those lo
calities. The rains will be of great!
benefit, and wiM insure a good wield '
of winter wheat over considerable '
areas in western, central and north-'
eastern counties. Spring wheat had j
not yet suffered seriously from '
drought except over limited areas, j
and has been given an excellent start ',
by the rain. Cutting of rye for hay i
continues. Barley is filling well in
Jackson county, while in Union coun-
ty seeding has only recently been !
finished. Planting of Corn is prac- j
Ucally completed, and In the areas ',
where corn is grown generally there !
is now sufficient moisture to bring
it up. Some early plantings are be
ing cultivated. The warm, weather in
the early week was favorable for
corn, where the soil was not too dry.
"The condition of fruit la very un
even. There is much complaint of
dropping of pears and prunes, and in
some localities apples have not set
well. The damage to trees by the
December freeze is becoming more
apparent as the season advances in
some localities. The rain has been
of great benefit to berries In North
western berry growing v. districts.
Strawberries and early cherries are
ripening in the Willamette Valley.
The warm weather 'early in the
week was favorable for irrigated al
falfa, and the rains of the latter part
helped pastures, ranges and hay
crops, excepting in the Southeast
ern counties. Cutting of the first
crop of clover is under way in the
Willamette Valley, with . a rather
light yield. The range is drying rap
idly in southeastern counties. Stock
is generally in good condition. Shear-
lng boom. Some tried to get a
Wood-Lowden-Johnson agreement to
adjourn till Monday without making
a nomination. There also was a con
ference between Johnson and Hard
ing supporters in which the Ohioan's
supporters tried without success to
have the remaining Johnson strength
swung to Harding.
The plan to nominate Senator
Lenroot for the vice-presidency had
the backing of many of the men who
had helped put Harding over, but the
name of Governor Coolidge stirred
the delegates and galleries to re
peated cheering and he was swept
into second place on the ticttet be
fore the first roll call had gone two
thirds of its length. Again it was
Pennsylvania "which furni3hed the
winning vote. ,
Governor Coolidge got 674 votes
to 146 for Senator Lenroot and 68
for Governor Allen of Kansas. Sev
eral others got scattering support
without being 'placed formally in
nomination. The result was greet
ed with another demonstration and
there was renewed cheering a few
minutes later when the tired dele
gates were told that their work was
done. It was early evening by the
time adjournment was reached but
before midnight hundreds had check
ed out and were on their way.
There was no official total of the
final ballot. Near the close of the
ballot there was t wholesale switch
ing of votes lo the Harding camp
and then a motion to make it unan
imous. This motion failed because
of the opposition of the Wisconsin
delegation.
