HIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1907. 1 nun-rim nnniRI Tn rAHIIUAbAIN IU H0LDG0NVENT10NS May Be Call for Nomination of Candidates for Additional Judgeships. DEPENDS ON AMENDMENT If It Carries, Nominating Assemblies Will Be Convened Presi dential Electors Also to Be Named. I shelled, It Is a powerful Incentive for Mlolntf .,nHa TharA Ka " to escape, for once past the fortifications here, there would be no power that could drive the enemy out of the river until It ad greatly strengthened the war re sources of Its Nation. All countries, of course, would not act in that manner, but some country that needed the money, say Japan, for Instance, would doubtless proceed along those lines, so military men believe. In attempting to take the Columbia River fortifications. It Is doubted If di rect assaults would be kept up on the shore batteries from In front. It is re garded as likely that landing parties would be put ashore In the vicinity of Seaside to maneuver In behind the bat teries. Let such a force overcome the obstacles in the rear, and It could over whelm the fort from behind with no great amount of difficulty, since the artil lerymen would be occupied with the fleet In front. s The Importance of the Infantry support work is therefore not to be underrated. To this force would fall the task of keep ing the enemy's landing parties oft. The battalion here has been most thoroughly trained In the art of welcoming landing parties and In case of need could serve as the groundwork or nucleus for a larger force which would surely be re quired in event of real war. G. A. W. Additional cause for holding state political conventions next year in Oregon will he presented by necessity of nomi nating candidates for two new offices of supreme judge making five In all-should the voters of the state in the general election In June next year adopt a con stitutional amendment, proposed by the Legislature at the last session, for crea tion of the two new judgeships. The proposed constitutional amendment declares: "Nomination of candidates for the two supreme judges, to be so elected In November, 1908. shall be by conven tion or by assembly of electors or by certificate of individual electors." In that same election in June, 1908, voters of Ore gon will elect Presidential electors. State conventions, if called next year, will have work to do as follows: Nomination of candidates for two Su premo Judges (if the constitutional amendment shall carry). Nomination of candidates for Presiden tial electors. Choosing of delegates to J.atlonal con ventions. Adoption, probably of party platform. The conventions will be held by both Republicans and Democrats, unless they should choose to nominate candidates by petition. The state central committee of each party could choose the National delegates, but this might stir up revolt against the committee In ranks of the party that considered themselves slighted or turned down. It becomes manifest more and more that there will bo a demand for state cohventlong next Spring. The direct pri mary law will not apply to nomination of candidates for -the two new judgeships nor Presidential electors. Those candi dates, therefore, will be named by their respective parties, just as If the primary law did not exist. The parties are likely to consider the convention method of nominating the most convenient. The conventions would be called probably by the state central committees and the county central committees. State dele gates would be apportioned among the several counties according 'to the old 'method and be chosen by county con ventions. The county conventions would be made up of delegates chosen in the precincts in party primaries, without re gard to the direct primary law. It Is evident that the two new Judge ship will not he created until the con stitutional amendment shall be adopted in June. Therefore the conventions to nominate candidates (for those offices may not be held until after that time. However, the conventions held at the usual time in April might nominate con dldates to run, contingent on the adop tion of the amendment. If conventions are to choose National delegates they would have to meet In the Spring. In the election next June several state offices are to be filled, nominations for which will he made by the direct pri . mary method. Among them are one Supreme Judge, to succeed Judge Bean; Dairy and Food Commissioner, to suc ceed J. W. Bailey: Representatives in Congress from the First and Second dis tricts, and United States Senator. Nom inations for county offices and for the Legislature will be made at the same time in the primaries. MAKE ATTACK BY NIGHT (Continued from First Page.) NO ENTERTAINMENT HERE GOOD-BYE, MIES Cruiser Charleston Sails for Lower Columbia. STOP HERE APPRECIATED Vice-President Fairbanks' Visit to Portland Will Be Informal. Vice-President C. W. . Fairbanks will not be . entertained in Portland on the tour of the West he is now making. If the President of the United States Sen ate and the aspirant for Presidential honors is entertained in the Rose City at all, the entertainment will be entirely Informal. Those who would meet Mr. Fairbanks will have to go to Seaside Monday, where elaborate arrangements have been made by the people of Astoria for hs reception. A score of prominent Admiral Swinburne Favorably Im pressed With Present and Pros pective Conditions of Harbor. All Are Sorry to Leave. At 9 o'clock this morning the United States cruiser Charleston will weigh anchor and. piloted by 'Captain William H. Patterson, who brought the cruiser up, will drop down to Astoria to take part in the ceremonies attending the visit of ico-President Fairbanks. During the stay of the Charleston in this port the ship has been visited by hundreds of people, wno were courte ously shown over the vessel by her of ficers and crew. Since the cruiser is tne largest man-of-war ever in these waters, the opportunity to inspect her was availed of by residents and visitors, wno always departed over her side with words of admiration both for the vessel and for the gallant men in whose charge he has been assigned. The complement of the Charleston is nearly 800 men, officers and crew, but the present register shows nearer 700. A re- other coming in. In accordance with Colonel Walker's maneuver instructions, these boats were designated as two squadrons each, having three battleships, three cruisers 'and three torpedo-boats. Fire was opened from Fort Stevens and Fort Columbia simultaneously. The mor tar batteries' paid their respects to the incoming vessel, while the 10-inch all around fire guns were played on the seagoing craft. The battle lasted for half an hour and the gunners gave an excellent account of themselves, so far as speed was 'concerned. The guns kept up a veritable tattoo until one fleet was pronounced at the bottom and the other was out of range. During the contest of the artillery en gagement word was telephoned from Ad jutant Kerfoot s headquarters that a landing party had reached the shore near the wreck of the sailing vessel Peter Iredale. The infantry supports, made up of Companies A, C and K f the Third infantry, under Major May, took the field at double-quick to meet this force. Keeping under cover, the command ma neuvered to the vicinity of the Iredale, opened fire from a strategic position in the timber, and later advanced down the beach in skirmish formation. The move ment was executed in excellent order. There was no further action during the day, the tide being unfavorable to passing the bar. During the afternoon Colonel C. E. Mo- Donell and the officers from Camp Kv erett, at Seaside, visited the garrison and witnessed the artillery maneuvers. The adaptability of volunteers for coast defense work Is a matter of wide discus sion and interest in military circles. Now that the Bervice ability of this new force in artillery work has been established, it is admitted that the situation as regards manning crews for the big guns was more serious tnan at nrst statea. jsot a few batteries have been kept out of serv ice because of the scarcity of coast artil lerymen. From an authoritative source it Is learned that desertions from this branch of the service have been numer ous and not a few garrisons are sadly in need of men. Anxiety Has Been Lifted. Tills problem would seem to have been done away with completely, however. since the showing made by the volunteer crews. Using expert regular gunners as the nucleus, crews could be rushed to the forts, assigned to posts and trained so as to man every one of the scores of guns here, at Fort, Columbia and at Fort Canby. The importance of invincible fortifica tions at the mouth of the Columbia can not be too greatly emphasized, military men say. Let a fleet once get into the harbor and Portland, Astoria and the towns all along the river would have to join in paying the enemy's expenses The enemy could levy tribute in any amount desired, and when a city is con fronted with the alternative of being ttui. ,,; i Vice-President C. W. Fairbanks. Republicans from this city will co-operate with the Astorians in suitably enter taining the vice-President at the ocean beach resort. The main event will be banquet that will be served Monday evening. The reason no formal reception has been planned for Mr. Fairbanks here is due largely to the fact that It has been understood generally that his Itinerary did not Include any stop in the Rose City. Mr. Fairbanks and party will en ter the state over the Northern Pacific at Goble Monday .morning. From that point the train will proceed to Astoria and thence to Seaside, where the enter tainment has been arranged. Mr. Fair banks will spend Monday night at the Moore Hotel, in Seaside, leaving the Coast city Tuesday morning. The party will not spend to exceed a few hours in this city, although it has been reported that the schedule does not contemplate so much as a stop here. This Incident cannot be construed as i slight of the distinguished visitor, al though the Presidential aspirations of the Vice-President have not been serious ly considered in this city. FIND RICH COPPER CLAIMS Humtulip Country Promises Develop a Klondike Rush. to MONTESANO, Wash., July 12. (Spe cial.) Several miners and prospectors. who have been grubbing around the upper Humtulip country for several weeks, have succeeded in ftndiruj what promises to be one of the richest copper lodes ever discovered In this state. These claims, which have been re corded in the Auditors' office here, are located along the west branch of the Humtulip River, In the western part of the county. The claims, have been worked sufficiently to prove they are not merely surface outcroppings. the ore showing better the further in. Specimens are ex ceedingly rich, and if the find Is of suf ficient quantities the probability is that a new- mining district will be opened up. The surveys recently made by both Northern Pacific and Milwaukee crews for the proposed line around the Olym pia peninsula run close to these claims. BIG PROFITS IN GRANDE RONDE Fruit and Vegetables Bring Best Prices in Many Years. LA GRANDE. Or., July 12. (Special.) Fruitgrowers in the Grand Ronde will realize handsomely from their orchards this year in spite of the fact that a heavy frost did considerable damage. Straw berries have sold for an average price of $2.75 per crate, cherries are bringing 44 to 7 cents per pound in the local mar ket, and will probably be higher; rasp berries are high and scarce. Plums, pears and peaches will bring the grower considerably more than last year, and Montana is already sending orders here for Fall apples, one Butte firm re questing the first carload that can be ob tained, and not setting any limit on the price. They simply want the apples. Cher ry-picking has begun, and while the crop is not as large as usual, it Is almost perfect in quality, and will bring from 12 to 15 cents a pound in foreign markets. No red raspberries are being shipped, the local demand for canning purposes be ing sufficient to use all that are brought to town. Old potatoes are very scarce, and bring the growers J1.75 per hundred. New po tatoes are selling 2 cents per pound. Dealers have bought new timothy hay for $10 per ton, and are offering 9 for alfalfa and $8.60 for wild hay, future delivery. Haying is Just beginning. In all proba bility hay of all kinds will advance in price from 10 to 25 per cent. Falls 40 Feet and Lives. TACOMA, Wash., July 12. Gust Lund, a longshoreman, was lifted 16 feet, swung out over a wharf and dropped 40 feet by the hoisting gear of the steamer Tremont His leg was crushed in the fall. He was tending a crane when the donkey engineer gave the wrong signal. Bags plied on the wharf saved his life. STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Name. From Date.

Alesla, Ger. steamship, from Ori ental ports. markable feature of the cruiser's visit to Portland lies in the fact that but three men failed to report on board last night. and even they may report when the ves sel reaches Bremerton Navy-yard. The officers of the cruiser were loud in expressions of appreciation of the re ception and attention shown them since they arrived In Portland. In this the crew Joined, and every one met in the last few days seemed really sorry that their visit had come to an end. Admiral Swinburne on several occa sions referred to the favorable Impres sions he had received of the condition of the river as a deep-water way and the possibilities of the future when contemplated Improvements are car ried out. One of the officers said last night that if he should be called upon to make suggestions for a needed im provement In the harbor, one of them would be that mooring buoys be es tablished, which would obviate- the ne cessity to anchor vessels remaining In the stream. At San Diegro, before the Charleston left for this pSrt, Captain WInslow was succeeded by Captain Beatty, who as sumed command of the ship in this port. Captain Winslow reported to Washington, where he was assigned to duty as assistant chief of the naviga tion bureau. Lieutenant-Commander Williams on the trip from San Diego had the mis fortune to fracture his left leg in fall ing, and during the stay of his ship in t.is port was attended in Good Samari tan Hospital. He was able to go aboard yesterday, and -will proceed with the vessel on her northern trip. On July 18 the Charleston will leave Astoria and sail for Bremerton Navy- ya.ru ior overnaunng. it was stated last night that her berth. In the Wil lamette fresh water had cleaned her hull, so that little is to be done at the navy-yard other than a few minor al terations In her interior. i VL!!lllMMi.v.''.'.'.'.'.'.:v.v.-...

The servers! committees of these six de partments will constitute the general committee of arrangements and have gen eral supervision of the fair. An effort will be put forth to secure the Interest of business houses of Portland so they will make displays. J. D. Lee, who has much experience, but who could not be pres ent, sent In some written suggestions. He said : "I would suggest that In addition to the horticultural and agricultural exhibits there be exhibits of canned goods, canned chicken, fish or meats. Also that if any have raised sorghum and made syrup or sugar, or raised tobacco and cured it they exhibit It. Any exhibit Is Interesting that shows how nearly the products of this section meet the wants and demands of the people." A. F Miller, who is collecting articles for the county exhibit at the state fair, said that the farmers of Multnomah County were Interested in this local fair and would take part. Not only grangers, but all farmers and others interested will be invited to take part The widest possible scope will be given to the exhibit. Arrangements will probably be made to run an automobile between the end of the carline and the hall. MANY FAIL UNDER TESTS PLAN FOR DISTRICT FAIR Evening Star Grange Arranges Pro gramme for the Event. Twenty members of Evening 6tar Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, met yes terday afternoon at the office of J. J. Johnson, and completed the preliminary arrangements for holding a district fair on the grounds of the grange on the Sec tion Line road, between Ocetober 7 and 12. It was the sense of the representa tives present that the fair should con tinue four days, and might be continued for a longer time, which matter will be decided later. After an extended discussion of the scope and purposes of the exposition it was decided to embrace mainly educa tional, horticultural and agricultural fea tures, with a ladies' department and lit erary entertainment. The educational feature will be made one of the strong est and most important. An effort will be made to secure educators from the Or egon Agricultural College, the State Uni versity and the public schools on the pro gramme . Specialists in both horticulture Wonld-Bo Policemen Find Civil Service Examination Severe. Sorting citizens to find good material for possible policemen has kept Dr. J. Zeigler and Dr. ' Wooden busy for two days. After the medical men were done with their victims, they were again-overhauled by Secretary McPheraon of the Civil Service Commission, who weeded out many of those passed by the doctors. Out of 41 men who took the examination it la thought that not more than 10 will get through. Poor hearing and light weight were the chief causes, six falling out for each of these reasons; then came bad eyesight for three more victims, while various defects claimed the others who failed. After the medical test came the trying- out test in personal strength, running and general all-round rough and tumble at the Multnomah field yesterday, and worst of all, the educational examinations. Many of the men have been out of school so long that they "know it, but are rus ty." All told, it is not easy to become a policeman. Marine Notes. Scheduled to arrive in Portland Thurs day, the steamer Nome City was delayed at San Francisco and did not sail until that date. The steamer Costa Rica of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company arrived at San Francisco yesterday on schedule time. Forecaster Beals has Installed an ex hibit in his office, the purpose of which is to Instruct navigators as to the best method for placing barometers and ther mometors in order to get the best results In readings. The steamer Redondo arrived yesterday and discharged at the Couch-street dock. She carried, besides -a shipment of 298 tons of coal, a cargo of miscellaneous mer chandise consisting of shoes, empty bot tles, baking powder, tools, ground bone, grit, flykiller and 90 sacks of seed. Captain Swan, of the British bark Zinita, says he Is unable to seoure ballast from the Star Sand Company, and is In conse quence delayed In leaving for New South Wales under orders to proceed to New castle for a coal cargo to Valparaiso. One of the members of the sand company said yesterday that ballast of the description wanted by the coaler la difficult to obtain The Family Physician The best medicines in the world cannot take the place of the family physician Consult him early when taken ill.
