STATE CONVENTION MU5T DECIDE James Hamilton Lovri to Lead tiic Delegation Favorable to Gover nor Hosiers' Taction of Party. SEATTLE, "Wash., May 12. Th Democ racy of King County will send tiro con testing delegations to the state conven tion, to be held at Spokane May 19. One "will be for Lee Hart lor Katlonal dele gate, the other for J. W. Godwin. Recently -ward primaries were held by the Democrats of the county, and dele sajes were elected to the county conven tion called to meet today to choose dele gates to the Spokane convention. The fight was between J. W. Godwin and Lee Hart es to who should receive the con vention's Indorsement for National dele gate. The county primaries, were the nost exciting: ever held, but t6day's con vention, eclipsed anything of the kind ever held in "Western Washington. There tvere a dozen contorting delegations. Af ter fighting all morning over temporary organization, the two factions appointed an arbitration committee of 12 In the hope of bringing about a. settlement. The com mittee stood 6 to 6 on all matters, and finally reported that It could not agree. Then Chairman Thorne, of the County Central Committee, tried to run the con vention by narmng the contesting delega tions entitled to seats. It Is elalmod he pave Hart the bettr of It. The Godwin people became angry, and for a. time the convention hall resembled the New Tort efoek exchange during a stormy session. Finally the Godwin people grabbed up thu records and adjourned to another ball, vhere they convened and elected dele pates to the Spokane convention in structed for Godwin. The Hart wing perfected organization and elected Hart delegates to Spokane James Hamilton Lewis was put at the fcead of the Hart delegation, -which is ?egarded as a stroke of good politics. A Sew days ago, Lewis announced that he was for Godwin. Later he said he was taking no Interest In the fight. The Hart-Godwin contest Is significant, as Hart Is Governor Rogers' representa tive In King County, and Godwin repre sents a, faction supposed to be opposed te Rogers. Both the Hart and Godwin connections Indorsed James Hamilton Lewis for "Vice President. It is conceded tonight that the success of Hart or Godwin depends upon the strength of Governor Rogers' following In the Spokane convention. ser & Hayes sheep.

The wool market has not opened here yet, and no sales are being made. Buy ers who came here last December had their offers of 15 cents declined by all growers except two Harvey Jones and Joseph Luckraan, both of whom now p?em satisfied with the contracts they made. I But the outlook then semed good for 23 eents.

Meeting to Be Held in Salem Next Frldar to Perfect a. Plaa for Reg- nlatlnsr Hop Pxeduct. SALEM. May 12. "Limit the Supply." Is the watchword of hopgrowers at pres ent. The agitation against "short buy ers" and "middle-men" has about died out, and those who believe that organiza tion will benefit the producers are grap pling with the law of supply and de mand. The officers of the Oregon Hop growers' Association, and William H Egan, F. J. Bolton and L. Krebs. a com mittee appointed for that purpose, by a meeting of hopgrowers at Brooks, are uniting in an effort to make a success of a hopgrowers' meeting, to be held In Sa lem. May 23, at 11 o'clock. The object of the meeting is to perfect plans for regu lating the quantity of hops produced dur ing the present season. A circular letter Is being sent out to all the hopgrowers of the state, asking them to hold local meetings, and to choose delegates to attend the meeting at Sa lem. The letter contains a copy of reso lutions adopted at the Brooks meeting and extracts from several articles here tofore published in the press of the Wil lamette Valley. In conclusion, the letter says: "Ton will readily understand that or ganization and proper outlining of a plan of action is essential to success, even though it may not ba necessary this year, owing to the uneven manner in which the hop vines seem to be coming up. to take steps toward reducing the supply. "This reduction of supply would tend to further aid the grower In obtaining remunerative prices for his produet by J improving the quality of the goods pro duced. If we can get the quality up to fancy choice of best Oregon, we may rea sonably expect by judicious management to receive the very highest market price. On all these important questions w can render each other material assistance, and thus secure -the best result for alL" ' Blanks have been prepared, and the growers will be asked from time to time to make detailed reports of the hop crop of their locality, the acreage this season and last, the number of bales produced last season and expected this year, and the general conditions of the growing crop. From these reports statistics will be compiled, and the actual condition of the hop crop of the state will be deter mined. The .officers of the assocIaticn have re ceived from Sacramento, CaL. an account of a meeting of hopgrowers held at that place May 5. Tho meeting was called for the purpose of formulating a plan for the organization of an association that will regulate the production of hops by restricting the acreage, and to take gen eral charge of the industry, not only in California, but in all the hop-producing states. George Brewer, tho originator of the plan, was present, and explained the ne cessity for such a movement. The fol lowing resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense of the hopgrowers now assembled at Sacramen to, that an association be formed by the hopgrowers of California, to co-operate with the growers of other states, to the end that the hopgrowlng Industry may be fostered and improved. "Resolved, That we are ready and. will ing to abide by the rules and regulations of an association to be hereafter formed, which will have for Its main purpose the reduction of the surplus of hops produced in the United States." The growers who participated In the Sacramento meeting have Issued a call for a mass meeting, to be held at Sacra mento, May 16, for tho purpose of form iug.a permanent organization. If the Sac ramento growers shall succeed in secur ing a large per cent of the hop acreage interested In thla movement, it will be encouraging to the Oregon growers, who will meet May 23. Worlc for tlie Cannery. W. G. Allen, of the Allen Packing Com pany, reports that there Is a splendid prospect for a large crop of peas this year, and that if the season continues favorable' the Salem cannery should be in operation early in July. About 100 acres of peas wero planted for canning purposes and all the growers report their crop mak ing good progress. The entire crop avail able for canning at Salem will amount to 203 tons. The peas, when canned, will be shipped to all parts of the coat, north of California, and west of the Rocky Mountains. The Allen Packing Company's plant In Salem is to be renovated, and rearranged eo as to better facilitate the handling of fruit. Some modern machinery will be added. It cannot yet be determined whether strawberries will be canned this season, as the price must be low before it will pay to can that fruit. In all prob ability, cherries will be canned In large quantities. Several years ago, the can nery made a large run on gooseberries, but when tho plant was closed down for a seaeon or two, the price of gooseberries dropped and farmers dug up their bushes. The present company finds It Impossible to get gooseberries in sufficient quanti ties for canning. Xevr Oregon Incorporations.

THE DALLES, May 12. A large number of Yakima Indians arrived in this city yesterday with 500 Indian ponies, that had been gathered from the reservation ranges for the Llnnton horse cannery near Port land. The ponies brought $2 50 per head, ana were in very poor condition. This Is the first of -several bands which will probably be brought in this way. For several years the Takima Indians have supplied the Llnnton cannery with horses, and it Is a great souree of revenue for them. Last evening the Indians gave a dance at the Vogt Opera-House, and a large number attended. Dancing and yelling were kept up until a very lato hour. liberate judgment, after a careful exam inatloh of tho case and after hearing the evidence, was that death resulted as found by the jury. We cannot condone Fletcher's conduct,' neither that of the woman. They were certainly both parties to the transaction, and neither anticipated the consequences. His evidence is corroborated by the sit uation and condition of affairs when the body was discovered, and is therefore en titled to some weight. A perusal of his testimony will show that he makes a reasonable explanation of the circum stances. "Fletcher leaves her about 6 o'clock dead or In a dying condition." says Mr. Zlegler. How does he know? From whence comes his Information to that ef fect? The Coroner's jury had no such information. It is unfortunate that it did not have the benefit of his extensive knowledge to guide it in returning a ver dict to feed public clamor for revenge, in stead of doing what It was by law required to do. "Xo officer of the law detains this monster, preying upon, the honor and life of defenseless women." wails this hyster ical correspondent. No; for the simple reason that the aforesaid officers of the law had sense enough to know that there was not a particle of evidence to show that this man had committed a murder, and he therefore very wisely refrained from running the county to an expense of hundreds of dollars with no other result than to gratify scandal mongers and peo ple who, like Mr. Z., rend their garments, figuratively Epeaklng, and cry aloud for revenge without being In possession of facts upon which to base their assump tions. Fletcher Is a resident of Polk County, and not "a neighbor and business man. of long standing," as he cays, and totally unknown to the jury. Nor was his finan cial or social standing a subject of inquiry by them. They called and examined wit nesses until they were convinced that there was nothing more to be developed in the case. And. Instead of favoring this party, they left nothing undone to discover any possible criminal connection he may have had with the case. It doubtless was a mistake for the Coroner and the jury to exclude the press, but It was for no other purpose than to preserve secrecy of the matters developed until the case could be fully investigated. He says that in the MeDanlel case, "prominent ministers- and the pillars of society added their voice and compelled a verdict from the process of the courts removing the young monster from contact with hia fellow-creatures."

Supposed to Have Been Drowned Salmon Price Advances. ASTORIA Or., May 12. The towboat Maria, of Portland, which arrived down this evening, reports Fireman Gallagher missing, and he is supposed to have fallen overboard and drowned. Ho was last seen about noon today, when the call for din ner was made. He was standing by the gangway at the time. His absence was not noticed until about two hours later, when the boat was turned back, and a search made, but no trace of him could be found: He is said to have been mar ried, his wife living in San Francisco. There was another advance In the price of raw fish this evening, and all the lower river canneries are now paying 6$ cents per pound. At the cold-storage plants tho price Is still 7 cents for salmon weighing 25 pounds.or over. First Spring: Salmon Shipment. Astoria Astorlan. The Columbia River Packers' Associa tion Thursday made Its first shipment of the Spring catch. 1900, salmon. The con signment going from the city canneries consisted of six carloads, which went Bist by the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road. Three carlcads were also sent by one of the river beats from Eureka to vorce against Gertrude White, nee Arnsel. It is alleged In the complaint that each of the parties previous to their marriage had been married and divorced and that less than six months In each Ins'ance had elapsed between the divorce and the sec ond marriage. This, it Is alleged, was done in ignorance of the law, and that they ceased to live together as husband and wife when the discovery of the violation of the statute in that respect was made.
