Eogenb, Or., April 10, 1905. (Special Grapevine Dispatch to Cornier). Never before in the history of the first district of the state of Oregon has the great G. O. P. labored longer and un dergone more travail and pain and brought forth smaller results than at this congressional district convention now passed into inglorious history, If the average voter of the Republican per suasion is as sore at himself and his party as are many of the delegates as they turn their faces homeward it aug urs veil for the democratic party and for the good of the country. ' The convention wrb a machine coil' vention ;was a machine convention of the old fashioned type and was run strictly on schedule time and according to "pro gramme" from start to finish excepting one brief hour when Senator Brownell lost his bearings, showed himself to be a "quitter" a quarter horse, left the con vention in a huffy and if be did not go to bed at least put himself out of sight Brownell was the spectacular figure of the convention. He played all of the parts, be blowed the big horn and beat the baBS drum. He rode on tne front seat of the band wagon and handled the reins with the dexterity of a connoisseur. Not even a delegate to the convention, and without standing on the floor,' he broke into the meeting with a proxy from Douglas county, and was elected ch airman by a combination of Herman votes with the votes of Clackamas coun ty. Not satisfied with small honors he then pat Herm in in nomination in a speech full of fire and ardor appealed to the flag and waved the bloody shirt. He aiys he made the speech of his life and we suppose he did. When the balloting began it looked ike Herman in a walk, but it was not to be so. He began with 79 votes with in nine of a nomination, each succeeding ballot his vote grow until be had reached eighty-two, the high tide of his politi cal strength, Brownell begged and pleaded with the Clackamas conoty boys to go to Herman but tbey said nay to his persuasions, and be could not trade them off nor sell them out and they stood "pat" for the'.r faith. Six of the Clackamas delegates went to Her man but the others were against him from start to finish. Browned was dis gusted and ashamed. He bad prom ised Herman to deliver the goods but could not. He was sore on his crowd and sick at heart and when Herman's vote went to the pieces like drifting and after the fourth ballot, he dodged the issue, relinquished the reins and said he was going to bed. 1 he convention was against Herman The better element knew it was" a bad thing to do to nominate him. They knew his record. Knew that he bad been kicked out of a Fedeial job within a few days on account of incompetency or something worse and they were for anybody to beat him, but lacked the or ganization and skill to unite their f.rces. While Hernial and Brownell were each sleeping the sleep of the just in room No. 13 of their headquarters the convention drifted like a ship in a storm. Diraick Ryan and other anti-Herman men of the convention tried to unite the anti-Her man vote upon some less objectionable candidates but without avail. The irony of fate played Brownell a bad trick and likely lost him the nomination. .Hadhe remained in the convention and con tinued to act as its chairman it is prob able and almost a certainly that he would have received the nomination himself. The Herman vote with ttie Clackamas county delegation could have done the work and all of the anti-Herman vote preferred George C. to Her man. But Lord Brownell was sulking in t.is tent and the opportunity passed and probably will never return "there is a tide" but Brownell was not present to go in with the flood but by the time be and Herman beard that there was yet a chance and came out of their trance and reached the convention ball again the eob tide had set in and waB carrying everything out with it to the Herman ship of hope, and so it hap pened that Herman won a battle that was lost and Brownell missed his oppor tunity. The delegation .from Oregon City played no inconspicuous pait in the pro ceedings of the convention. Their sev enteen votes, however, were hopeleesly divided and could not accomplish as much as they might had there been more nnity of action. Tbey returned to their borne in this city after the pow 1 wow was over a "a nadder and wiser lot of politicians looking like tbey had been sa. ing up at an "Irish wake." School Report.

A Fisherman Taken for a Water Bailiff v and Hot Le ad Poured at Him. " Monday night Ed Himler, one of the best known fisherman on the Clackamas was fired at by unknown persons. It is supposed that the shots were fired by a fisherman hidden on the banks of the Clackamas, who thought Himler was an officer in search of hidden fish. Three shots in all were fired, one of them pene trating the boat which be was rowing. Himler was pretty badly frightened and made all baste to get ashore. The shoot ing occurd just above the Erickson place, about a mile above the spot where the large bunch of chinook salmon were iound by bailiffs Friday. The close sea son did not end until Wednesday but a good many salmon have been caught before the season opened, There was a regular fusilade of shots during the night as different polntB along the river, supposed to have been fired by fisher men who had fish concealed. Threats have been made against the bailiffs, and some Cf ttlfi iUeil who have been found to have indulged in unlawful fishing have been heard to say that as soon as the bailiffs remove their stars there will be something doing. The bailiffs are not in the least alarmed, however. They say they have collected licenses from seventeen fishermen around Ore gon City and Park Place. Next week they will go to Milwaukie and collect the licenses there. $( Paint PROFIT Surprise Party.

El Testiri g the Eyes Sometimes when people get spectacles which suit them they go on wearing them for years without having their sight tested to see whether any change has taken place. This is wrong. All who wear glasses should have their eyes tested at intervals, even if the necessity is not apparent to them. As a general rule, spectacles for old sight require changing about every three years, but the sight should be tested every two years. Whenever you feel uneasy about your spectacles don't hesitate to call and see us. Always glad to help you. If no change is necessary we will tell you. Remember we test the eyes free of charge. t BURMEISTER & RNDRESEN THE OREGON CITY JEWELER Suspension Bridge Corner. n lev. 1 8-1i i i. ' ...I II
