Stanley, of Union County, were elected delegates to the National convention, two alternates were named, end a Congres sional committee was selected, all In the brief space of one hour and a quarter. It was significant that no effort was made to instruct the Philadelphia delegates as to their choice of President. It was like wise significant that Senator Simon's election was unanimous, and that he was the only Oregon Congressman selected by the Republican party to represent them In the National convention. The election of Mr. Simon may be regarded as endorse-, ment by bis party of his course In Con gress, especially on the Puerto Rico ques-tion- It was shortly after 10 o'clock when the convention was called to order by Wallace McCamant, chairman of tbo dis trict committee. Charles Hilton, of Wheeler, was unanimously selected as temporary chairman. Taking the plat form, Mr. Hilton made a few appropriate remarks, and called for nominations for temporary secretary.

The report was adopted. The convention - orce proceeded to nominations for delegate. Hon. F. S. Stanley, of Union, was placed In nomina tion by Thomas Gilliam, ot that county. Senator Simon was nominated by Piatt of Multnomah, as a "citizen who has filled many positions of trust, whom we have always delighted to honor, and who now occupies the highest position wl'.hln the gift of the State." (Applause.) There were no further nominations, and Messrs. Simon and Stanley wcro chosen by acclamation, amid loud applause. For alternate, R. Alexander, ot Uma tilla, was nominated by W. J. Furnish, ot the same county, and Thomas McEwan. ot Baker, was presented by Dodson of Baker. Alexander and McEwan were elected by acclamation. Nominations for Congress were cal'ed for, and E. L. Smith, of Wasco, took tha floor. It was well understood that Mr. Smith -would present the name of Mal colm A. Moody, and his appearance was greeted with applause. He said: "I am confident that It Is a matter of the greatest satisfaction to us. all that those factional differences which In the past disturbed the harmony and Impaired the strength of our organization have happily been eliminated, and that we have assembled today as a united party. In 1SS6 the Second Congressional District gave a Republican plurality of less than MO votes. But In 1S9S, with a united party and an unequivocal platform and an une quivocal man standing on that platform, you rolled up the unprecedented plurality of nearly 7000 votes. (Applause.)

William Harder, general agent of the Great Northern, Is back from his trip to Astoria. He reports great activity among the fishermen there, as they cro getting ready for the chlnock silmon e:a pon, which-wlll opn at 1! o'clock tonight. He says there are 00 boats ready to start out with drift nets to capture the Chinook salmon. He reports that a great many of the fishermen and cannerymen believe that the seicon will open with a better ' run of fish than last Spring. There arc already a large number at tho mouth of the Columbia. i xuc iiauerjiieii xiuvc amauy uxeu me price of Chinook at 6 cents per pound, said Mr. Harder yesterday. "It remains to be seen whether the canr.erymen and cold ntoratre neoDle can afford or will care to pay this price. It is possible that slightly lower prices may prevail In the beginning of the season, but I do not ever expect to see Chinook salmon sold lower than S cents per pound. "The Harry Morse, a large bark, has been fitted out with a complete salmon canning outfit. She will proceed at once to Yes Bay, Alaska, where the adventur ous crew expect to put up between 30.C01 and 45,000 cases, and then return to Asto ria with the pack. About 10) Chinamen expect to nccompany the vessel, who will put up the catch. The expedition expects to return the latter part of July or the early part of August. "George Sanborn Is fitting up a large cannery next to Elmore's packing-house. He is not In the combine, and will do busi ness entirely Independent of It. It Is un derstood that the combine, will operate three canneries this year, wht:e the Union Fishermen's Co-operative Packing Com pany, P. J. McGowan & Son. A. Booth & Co.. J. Q. Megler & Co.. F. M.

All they desire and hope for Is a large run of salmon. "Ou'cldc of the fishing Industry at As toria, there Is considerable activity In oth er lines. The Pacific Sheet Metal Works arc running both day and night, part of the time. Fox Bros., proprietors of the Astoria Iron Works, are enlarging their plant. A machine shop and boiler-room. 42x100 feet. Is now In process of construc tion." FINE FRUIT PROSPECTS. Orchard at Illalock's Which. Promises "Well. C R. Smcad, who has ICO acres In orchards at Blalocks, on tho line of the O. R. & N was In the city yesterday, and brought to tho permanent exhibit headquarters a. number of twigs from his peach trees, to show the fine set of fruit on them. The little peaches are about tho size of a bean, and In many cams there are two or three on a single stem, and the fruit, if It should all come to maturity, would break all the limbs off the tree. Mr. Smcad Intends to prune his trees severely, and then thin out the fruit on the boughs left, as he says tho time to prune for fruit Is after the peaches have set, while the time to prune for wood or to shape the tree Is In the Fall. His apricot trees ore loaded with fruit about the size of a hickory nut, and his apricots will be ready for market early In June. He has 1700 cherry trees, of the Royal Ann. May Duke and Kentish varie ties, and there Is a wonderful showing of fruit on them as large as peas. Pears, plums and prunes are all set, and his apples itro now setting. Thero has been no frost at his place to hurt anything, even his melon plants, which were raised under glass and planted out. not having been touched by frost. Ho has a num ber of peach trees of the old-fashioned "Squaw" variety, the fruit of which Is the best kind for putting up, though not so fine for eating raw as some other varie ties. Mr. Fletcher, who has a peach orchard on a bench on the bank of tho Columbia, was at the exhibit headquarters at the same time, and says prospects are favor able for a remarkably fine crop of fruit on his place. Similar reports come from all parts of this section. B I TOO MANY CONVENTIONS. Hotel Men Couldn't Handle the Crowd. Several of the principal hotel-keepers ot Portland are hoping that state conven tions will be held ono at a time here after. They say the past week has been a very busy one for them, but they would rather nof be quite so overcrowded, and business might then b strung out over two or three weeks. "With four conven tions on hand at once, we could not ac commodate the crowd." a popular land lord said yesterday. "Thero were fully 2300 extra, guests In the city all week.

Early Today. and many of these had to be sent to lodg ing houses and to places where they did not wish to go. The visitors themselves found this state of affairs very unsatis factory, as most of them come to Port land to have a good time and mingle with their friends, while attending the con ventions of their party. The hotel lob bies and parlors have been so crowded this tune that such a thing as leisure or cas could not be thought of. I sincerely hope conventions will hereafter be held one at a time." Restaurant keepers, are generally of the eame mind, as they, too, found It dif ficult to accommodate the crowd which piled up three deep at meal times. The rush began to slack off at hotels and res taurants yesterday, as many delegates left for their homes. SPLENDID PERFORMANCE. "Pndd'nhead Wilson" Finely Ren. dered by Burr Mcintosh. A more splendid performance than that afforded at the Marquam last, night, by Mrs. Edwin Mayo's original company, of the familiar Twain play, "Pudd'nhead Wilson" has never been seen by Port landers. A good houso turned out to be Intro duced to Burr Mcintosh. It Is pleasure ablo to relate the acquaintance progressed rapidly. Ho came as a stranger, claiming but modest recognition of his 'merits. Great Interest centered in him, and when he presented the deliberate and humor ously original Puddn'head, at last Indicat ing his puzzling theory of thumb marks, the Marquam audience raised hands and gave him curtain calls to the echo. Mr. Mcintosh qualifies. In the judgment of some, for a better David Wilson than hlo more celebrated predecessor In tbe part. His physique, his physiognomy and the fine sense of humor displayed by him In delivering his lines aroused the highest enthusiasm as the play proceeded. jusi one point, nowever, in passing: Some friend who has Mr. Mcintosh's con fidence must tell him that Pudd'nhead Wilson was a simple-minded man a great, big, honest, overgrown boy with lota of goodness of heart and not much of a judge of "ornery" people. Besides, Dave Wilson drawled hta words, and principally In this drawl lay the success ot his prede ccasors In the character the speech of a dreamer, the languid manner of a man who has nothing to do. But' Mr. Mclntoah Is a vary fine actor. He has wonderful facial expression. For example, at the end of the third act, when he thinks he has made a fatal mistake In labeling the thumb marks, he won the audience completely In a delicato scene without speaking a word, the house break ing into It with applause. In the court scene, he rose to great dramatic height, and arouecd much enthusiasm. Let Mr. Mcintosh In the earlier scenes bo more deliberate, take on a little more repose and drawl his sentences our. He will then reach, to the full, Mark Twain's quaint Missouri lawyer. Mrs. Mayo herself Is Ingenuous, pretty and vivacious as Rowey, In her quaint hoop dreAs. It would be somewhat of a task to add to the praises that have been sounded In favor of the familiar players who havo perpetuated tho humorsome Twain phi losophy and prove! be. Sheriff Blake, by William B, McKay, Is so complete a cre ation In itself that It becomes no small part of the play. It was a sure sign of the high satisfaction, and content of tho audience while they were bubbling with the anticipated laughter, for the first "Orr-rr-der In the co't." from McKay. Frank Campeau, the dapper and accom plished young aclor who has been Identi fied with tbe Mayo company for a long time, was seen again In a role that few could equal. There Is Just a touch of pathes and pity thrown In his villainy as Tom Drlscoll which appeals for much ad miration for his consistent, clean-cut and thoroughly Intelligent character work. Nina Morris as Roxy portrays an ex ceedingly difficult role. It attests the quality of her training that she does it well. Be'.le Stoddard was the Invincible Patsy. There will be a matinee this afternoon and the final performance this evening. MATINEE TODAY. "Have Von Seen Smith i" the Attrac tion at Cardray's. "Have Tou Seen Smith?" which will be the matinee attraction at Cordray's this afternoon. Is Just the kind of a play that will take with a matinee audience bright, funny, and brim full of good music and up-to-date specialties. It has drawn big houses all the week, and Its many amus ing scenes and ridiculous situations have kept the audiences In a continual laugh from curtain to curtain. There has been a large advance sale, and Indications are that the house will bo crowded. The last performance will be given tonight. INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE. What?

MEIER & FRANK CO. IN THE SEVERAL COURTS HIGITWATMAjr CARLSOX 8U.M'iSCED TO FOURTEE.V YEAItS. lie Made a Long: Plea for a Llcht Sentence Probate Matte; Court Notes. Andrew Carlson was sentenced to 14 years In the penitentiary by Judge George yesterday afternoon. Carlson was convict ed of holding up a street car at Willamette Heights and robbing C H. Knudson. the conductor, and also Motorman C E. Hard ing. He was also tried and found guilty of the robbery of Mrs. C. T. Dlckerson. Before sentence was pronounced, C J. Schnabel. attorney for Carlson, made a few remarks to the court in behalf of his client, and then read a long .statement which Carlson had prepared In writing. In this Carlson began by saying he Is not as black as he has been painted, having rescued 13 persons from a wrecked steam boat on Yaqulna Bay In 1S32. thus saving their lives, and In 1S33 saved three per- buus who were in a sman noat on la- I qulna Bay Bar. The records of the United States Court, he said, would prove these facts. Mr. Schnabel vouched for the truth of the statements. Carlson admitted hav ing served seven years In the penitentiary, three terms, and his paper next contained the following dramatic recital of his ex perience with the cold, heartless world. Immediately following his hut release from prison; "When released at Salem I was sick, without even a &-cent piece in my pocket, and. to make matters worse, there was six inches of snow on the ground. Judge. 1 maintain that if I entertained an evil. criminal, or thieving thought, I would cer tainly have done something terrible under these circumstances, penniless, homeless, hungry and half clothed. I walked to Cor vallls. a distance ot 45 miles, endeavoring to obtain employment, but a request for a Job would meet with the question, Where did you come from?" On answering, 'Salem.' they would say, T don't need any one.' After trudging along discouraged and disheartened, I finally reached Cor vallls. and was fortunate In finding a friend who loaned me J3. Knowing that I must save as much of the money as possible, I started for Portland on foot, and the sixth or seventh evening arrived at a convent about 14 miles from Portland, footsore and suffering with la grippe. As It was Impossible for me to go on. I asked for a night's shelter; the barn or out house would have been acceptable, but this was emphatically denied me. Sick at heart I turned away, wondering It there were still Christians In the land. To gether with being turned out of prison with hardly enough clothing, my confidence In man, humane man, was slowly but surely being shattered. After a terrible and bit ter night. I arrived In Portland. After staying a short time I left for a logging camp at Rainier, and went to work. I left to take a better Job further down the river, Starkey's camp: from there I went to the North Pacific mill, and next worked 'longshore until the time of my arrest. This gives a legitimate account of my whereabouts and mode of obtaining a live lihood from the' time of my release from prison." Ex-Detective Maher, who was a witness against Carlson on the question of alibi, comes In for a "roast," and the state ment otherwise contains a long review of the evidence of some of the witnesses, and an account of assistance rendered by Carlson to Mrs. Berget and her sick child. Tho communication Is remarkable for Us length, being more exhaustive than any thing of the kind submitted In court for a long time past. If ever before. Carlson, at the conclusion of the read ing. In answer to a question, said he had nothing further to say.

It further appears that you have been three time In the penitentiary, and have not allowed yourself to raise above It. and to reform yourself and lead an honorablo life.

The argument In the case of Brown et al. vs. Jacobs et al.. in the United States Court, on an order to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed, was concluded at noon yesterday, and the matter taken under advisement by Judge Bellinger. The parties are the owners of stock of the Oregon City Woolen Mills. Complainants wish to have a receiver ap pointed for the property of the corpora tion. They allege that It was agreed that defendants should have the management of the woolen mills and defendants-were to have tho handling of the output. Of late, they allege that this business to a great extent has been taken out of their barns, and they have been deprived of the com missions on the sale of the goods. De fendants have offered to give a certain sum for the complainants' Interests In the property or to sell thefr Interests for a much larger sum, and complainants would like the court to make an order requiring both sides to name a definlto sum which they will give or will sell their Interests for. It was shown that the profits of the cor poration have exceeded the cost of the property about 50 per cent. Defendants ex hibit no desire to make a "give or take" offer for the property, and do not con sider that there is any necessity for a receiver for a concern which Is paying dividends.
