EXPECTED FIGHT DELAYED WAR ING SOUNDED ' nil wnian iiiipn . uiijj-i-------sw--a---i-'-MS- ,,,,, ,,,!, , TYj (ft Tj a Xo Move lade to TVrce Adjonrn mcnt Until After Primaries. Routine Only Is Attended to ; at First Day's Session. With 216 delegates attending from IS ef the 34 counties in Oregon, the Pro hibition party state nominating conven tion opened yesterday in the Taylor street Methodist Episcopal Church. The first day's session developedTittle outside of the ordinary routine of or ganization. No attempt was made to force an adjournment or the convention until after the primary. This fight, however, is expected to come up this morning just before the selection or the nominees for state offices Is in order. Any attempt to adjourn the conven tion without completing the work of nominating a state ticket will be bitterly opposed. The straight prohibition ele ment in the party is also opposed to giving Prohibition party nominations to candidates for the same nominations In other parties and particularly to any indorsement of candidates of other par ties. Mr. Chafln Give Warning. . This point was emphasized by Eu gene W. Chafin, the most . prominent National figure in Prohibition party ranks, twice its candidate for Presi dent, in an address Just before the afternoon adjournment. Mr.. Chafin cited many instances of parties that have died because they lost their Iden tities by fusion with other parties. He - said that the Prohibition party must be uncompromising in its insistence on retaining its identity, that to do this it must nominate Prohibition party can didates for all offices, and must take a firm stand against indorsing candidates of other parties. "If they wart to be Indorsed, let them run as - Prohioition party candidates," said Mr. Chafin. - Though he did riot refer to the ex pected attempt today to force adjourn ment until after the primary by dele gates who hope thereby to have the Prohibition party later nominate and indorse some of the successful candi dates for Republican or Democratic nominations, Mr. Chafin's remarks were clearly Intended to show his own disapproval of the plan. After J. P. Newell, state chairman, had called the convention to order F. W. Emerson, of Albany, and R. W. MacCullough, of The Dalles, were quickly chosen as temporary chairman and secretary. Mr. Emerson expressed the purposes of the party In this year's campaign in an address. Mr. Kmerson, appointed as a commit tee on permanent organization, " I. H. A mos, of Portland, chairman: Mrs. Mary Mallett. of Portland. C. P. Coe, of McMinnville, D. M. Williamson, of Corvallls, and C. J. Bright, of The Dalles.

Pennington, of Newberg, chairman: Mrs. Charlotte Hanan, of Portland, and Irf-slie Butler, of Hood River, vice chairmen; J. A. Dunbar, of Portland, secretary, and Mrs. Ward Swope and J. S.. Fox, of Portland, assistant secre taries. After the noon adjournment the del egates went to the Portland Hotel, where enthusiastic speeches were made at a well-attended luncheon. H. W. f tone, secretary of the Portland T. M. C. presided. The speakers were H. B. Hastings, of Reed College: on "How to Win;" A. C.

COOS AND CURRY AFFECTED Koseburgr Land Office Kxpected Soon to Announce Manner of En try and Settlement 15,000 Acres Cut Into 4 0-Acre Units. A tract of approximately 32,800 acres of land in Southern Coos and Northern Curry Counties has been excluded from the Siskiyou National Forest., accord ing to an executive order issued by President Wilson, telegraphic notice of which was received at the Portland of fices of the Forestry Department yes terday. This step is in keeping with the policy of the present Administration in withdrawing from forest reserves all lands that are suitable for farms and that may be utilized for agricultural purposes. Chief Forester Graves" per sonally inspected the Oregon reserves recently in order to determine how that policy might be furthered in this territory. 40-Acre Inila Segregated. Of the area eliminated, about 15,000 acres are vacant public lands, segre gated into units of from 40 acres up The balance of . the land has already been entered under the general public land laws or the forest homestead law and the occupants of claims thus estab lished will not be disturbed. It is un derstood that the public lands Involved will all be subject to settlement under the homestead law on and after June 23, but entries at the local land office will not be . permitted until July 27. No information has yet been received, however, as to whether any of the pub lic land has been specially withdrawn, or classified, so as to prevent or re strict the right of settlement and entry- Grants Pasu Man ReconmcatlM. The lands were eliminated from the National Forest on the recommenda tion of the supervisor. N. F. Macduff, of Grants Pass, Or. It In "understood that a large portion of the land is suited by climate, topography and soil to the form of agricultural use com mon to the coast country, but the prin cipal reason for the elimination is the fact that only a very small percentage of the area is permanently suited to the establishment and maintenance of a forest, and the cost of administra tion, protection and management of this small percentage of the land is too great to warrant the retention of the land under withdrawal. The lands In question are all situated in the Roseburg Land District- The Roseburg office will doubtless soon be Informed of the manner in which set tlement and entry may be made and the restrictions upon the right of set tlement and entry.

Although it is the general belief at the City Hall that the petitions said to have been signed recently for the recall or Mayor Albee and City Com missioners Brewster and Dleck will not be filed. City Auditor Barbur Is making preparations for a special elec tion If one should be called. At the request of Ex-Councilman Clyde, who is slated as a candidate against Mr. Brewster, Mr. Barbur has asked City Attorney noche for an opinion on the form of petition and ballot which would be used in a recall election. There is some question as to-whether the preferential system of voting would be used or the old form of one straight vote for a candidate. The opinion of Mr. La Roche will cover that point.- It is certain that if the recall petitions are iuea a special election will be nee essary.
