The programme to be followed at to

will be named at today's meeting.
This committee will have charge of
the financial end of the campaign and
In every possible way will assist Cake
and Williams in lining up the voters
of the state for the usual Republican
majority In November.

been received from the Republican Na
tional committee and a plentiful sup

other campaign souvenirs Is on the

Attorney A. W. Lafferty, ask that the
railroad company be required to aell to
them the two tracts of ISO acres .each at

The girl's father, a boxmaker for the
Standard Oil Company, had the girl in
his care for a time. Then he became ill
with rheumatism, and was taken to the
hospital. One of Mrs. Starr's sisters then
took the child, but later asked that it be

it is probable that the child will find

Judge M. G. Munly, of this city, and
C. W. Dorr, of San Francisco, vice-
president and general counsel, respectiv-
ly, of the Alaska Packers' Association,
have accepted the appointment of Gov
ernor W. B. Hoggatt, of Alaska, and will
attend the International Fishery Con
gress as delegates from the Territory of
Alaska. This congress will be held at
Washington, D. C. September 22 to 29,
Inclusive.
The conference at Washington will be
the fourth since the congress was or
ganized at Paris, In September, 1900, in
tervenlng meetings having been held at
St. Petersburg, in February. 1902, and at
Vienna, in June, 1905. The purpose of
the approaching conference is to delib
erate on Important matters relating to
fishing and fish culture and to submit
propositions for the benefit of the fish
eries to governments and to state, pro
vincial and local authorities. Both Judge
Munly and Mr. Dorr are closely identi
fied with the fishing interests of Alaska
and the Pacific Northwest, which are the
most important in the world, and will
take an active part in the deliberation of
the Washington congress
In response to invitations extended by
the Government of the United States. E
national governments have already Sig
nified their purpose to be officially repre
sented, and delegates have been appoint
ed by the Governors of many of the
states of the United States. In view of
the small number of the nations which
have formally Indicated their inability
to participate officially and the large
number of persons who will attend as
Individuals or as representatives of Im
portant fishery societies, the congress
promises to be important in Its repre
sentative character, size and the value
of its proceedings.

also will have the effect of further re

Disagreement or Misunderstanding
Brings About Two Conventions.
In a circular letter Issued some days
ago by John E. Trigg and Harry Yanck
wich, addressed to members of the Spir
itualist Association of Oregon, It was
announced that the annual convention
would be held today In Portland. A sig
nificant paragraph Informed the mem
bers that the place of meeting would be
given later by private correspondence and
through the press. Whether this waa
done to head off an opposition convention
by withholding the place of meeting has
not been divulged, but developments in
dicate that two conventions are to be
held today, one In the Marquam building
and the other In Alisky Hall.
The convention meeting In the Mar
quam is pronounced the authorized one
by National officials, though the other,
headed by Mrs. Seip, professes the right
to hold a convention also. There would
appear on the surface to be a wide dif
ference of opinion regarding regularity
of organization of the two bodies, but
Trigg and Yanckwlch profess to have pos
session of power-of-attorney establishing
their position.
Harry Yanckwlch is to call the "regu

this morning. A "message service" Is
