Just before the close of the retail lum bermen's convention today excitement rose to a considerable degree when.G. B. Wastell, of Portland, extended ah invita tion to the association to meet next year at Portlands Mr. Wastell read several let ters addressed to the convention, promis ing the warmest kind of a reception to the association should they decide to visit Portland, and pointing out the attractions of Portland as a convention city. The applause which followed his short 'talk told plainly of many backers in the con vention, anil even after Si. EL Hayden, of Spokane, had spoken ably of the merits of his city, it looked as if Mr. Wastell would win the day. Mr. Hayden. however, appreciating the power of oratory, called upon Rev. W. J. Hendlay, of Spokane, to speak in his place in the' effort to sway the associa tion toward the Washington city. Minister's Oratory ' Wins the Day. And Rev. Mr. Hendlay did his part well. Me pointed out that last year's convention had been held at Salt Lake, the eastern extreme of the association's territory. where-.it had been benefited by. securing many new members within the range of that city. Then, stated Rev. Mr. Hend lay. the gathering this year had taken place at the western extreme, where the retailers had profited by the large attend ance of manufacturers. Therefore, he ar gued, -having obtained the benefits of add ed membership and contact with manu facturers, why should not the association next meet where they would be centrally located, giving the majority of the mem bers of the organization .ample chance to visit the convention? Portland's lost Opportunity. Kvcn after this address it is doubtful if Spokane would have won had the Port lamb contingent seized the opportunity and spoken first. It was a Spokane man, however, who, rising, moved that the next convention be held In his city. This was seconded and President Merrill called for a standing vote of those In favor of the motion. Only 11 members rose, and they were so close that a count was decided upon and the Spokane faction was again Requested to rise. , Secretary Porter then announced that il had voted for Spokane against 10 for Portland. There were some Portland fol lowers who afterward stated there had been a mlacount and that Portland had won. The die had been , cast, however, and President Merrill announced that the nixt annual gathering would be in "Sunny Spokane.' OHKUO.V. MAX VICE-PRESIDENT J. H.

FULTON MEN IN CONTROL Rousing Republican Convention in Eugene, Where Chamberlain Is Greater Favorite Than the Clackamas Blacksmith. EUGENE. Or., Feb. 29. (Special.) One hundred Republicans from all over Lane County met at the Courthouse here to day to discuss party Interests and prepare for the oncoming campaigns. County Chairman E. R. Mummy called the meet ing to order and asked for the nomina tion of a deep dyed-in-the-wool black Republican. H. W. Thompson placed in nomination a man who. he said, ans wered the description, and J. M. Williams was chosen chairman with B. A. Wash burn, of Springfield, secretary. S. L. Moorehead, Of Junction, opened the speechmaking, strongly favoring the University of Oregon appropriation and Statement No. 2. C. J. Dodd, of Spring- neid, denounced Statement No. 1. The committee on resolutions, consist ing of H. W. Thompson, of Kugene: S. L. Moorehead, of Junction; B. O. Potter, of Eugene; Albert Walker, of Springfield, and .William Van Duyn, of Coburg, re ported at 1:30 o'clock and the resolutions adopted were as follows: Resolutions Are Clear-Cut. 1. Resolved. That ne heartily favor the plan of organizing Republican clubs in each of the . precincts of this county and recom mend that in each prfcinct a Republican club be organized for the purpose of pro moting the interests of the Republican partj- 2. Believing that the prevalent Republi can principle is and always has been best for the happiness and prosperity of this re public, we favor the election of a Republi can President of theffe-Unlted States. For the same reasons we believe In the election of a Republican as United States Senator from Oregon. Inasmuch as the direct pri mary law does not require or advise legis lative candidates to subserve to Statement No. 1, we recommend that candidates do not sign any statement which might require them to stultify their Republican principles by voting for anyone who is not a Repub lican. 3. Resolved, That we pledge our united support to the bill now pending before the people for the support and maintenance of the University of Oregon. Resolution No. 2 was a substitute offered by W. Kuykendall. Table Hughes Boom. The committee asked the convention to indorse Charles E. Hugbea as the Republican candidate for President of the United States. After a warm dis cussion the resolution was tabled. Hughes and Taft men were about di vided, but opposition to such an early declaration prevailed. The men who spoke for Hughes were H. W. Thomp son. J. M. Williams, L. E. Bean, E. O. Potter. S. M. Yoran bitterly denounced W. S. U'Ren, who, he claimed, is not a Republican. He said: "If I were a member of the Legislature I would vote for George E. Chamberlain sooner than for W. S. U'Ren. because I know where Chamberlain stands." He fa vored an amendment to Statement No. 1 and denounced Statement No. 2 as nonsense. S. L. Moorehead also de nounced U'Ren and the theories. Fulton Men in Control. Robert Huston, of Portland, spoke to the convention favoring Mr. Kurhes for the Republican nomination, be cause he felt he was much the safest candidate. He predicted that the Uni versity appropriation bill would carry in Portland two to one. W. A. Will iams, of Portland, who will be a can didate for Presidential elector on the Republican ticket, prophesied an over whelming vote for the university. The sentiment of the meeting was decidedly against Statement No. 1. and every effort will be made to eliminate No. 1 men.

Or.. Feb. 29. Taking advantage of the light attendance, and of the fact that C. Schuebel, chairman of the Republican. County Central Com mittee, was in possession of five prox ies, the adherents of Statement No. 1 this afternoon pushed through the com mittee a resolution declaring the senti ment of the committee to be in favor of electing United States Senators by the people, as embodied in Statement No. 1. The resolution was presented at the close of the meeting by George W. Dixon, of Can by, himself a candidate for the Legislature on a Statement No. 1 platform. Out of a ctal membership of 39, there were only ten votes on the floor, and these were evenly di vided, and Mr. Schuebel immediately declared the resolution carried by rea son of his proxies. The committee met for the sole pur pose' of arranging for a county con vention to elect delegates to the state convention. Just as soon as Mr. Schuebel had declared the meeting opened. John Glbsonf of Harmony Pre cinct, was on his- feet and presented the following resolution: Whereas, It is the desire of the members of the Republican party In Oregon that a Republican United States Senator should be elected from Oregon at the next session of the. Legislature; and , Whereas. It is the unanimous desire of the members of the Republican . party of Oregon to indicate at the polls tbelr preference for a candidate of their own party to- fill the said high office, and to be elected thereto at the next session of the Oregon Legislature; and Whereas. It Is the moral duty of the I publican members of the Legislature to vole for tbat candidate of the Republican party for United States Senator for whom a prefer ence baa been expressed by the Republican voters of. the State of Oregon; cow. there fore, be it Resolved. That it is the sentiment of the Republican County Central Committee of the County of Clackamas that . all candidates for the Legislature -on the Republican ticket fil ing petitions for nomination at the primaries should sign a modified form of Statement No. 1 which will bind such candidate, if nominated and elected, to always vote for that Republican candidate for- United States Senator tn Congress who shall receive ' the highej"t number of the people's votes for that position at the general- election next preced ing the election of a Senator In Congress, without regard to eueh candidate' indi vidual preference. The Gibson resolution was discussed at some length and finally, at the sug gestion of .Representative Campbell, the resolution was withdrawn by Mr. Gibson in the interest of harmony". It was supposed that the incident was closed, but considerable feeling had been created and was not lessened by passage' of a resolution adopting the suggestion of Chairman Westgate, of the State Central Committee, that the Republicans request the County Clerk to have a blank line printed on the primary ballot to enable the voters to indicate their choice for President. County Clerk Greenman, however, can find no authority in the primary elec tion law which will allow him to place any such proposition on the ballot. In the afternoon the committee fixed Saturday, April 25, as the, date for holding primaries to select delegates to the county convention. There will be one delegate-at-large to every pre cinct and one delegate for every 30 votes' and major fraction thereof cast for Supreme Judge in 1906. The date for the county convention will be de termined after the organization of the County Central Committee to be elect ed at the primary election. The result of today's meeting will tend to solidify the sentiment for and against Statement-No. 1 in Clackamas County. Men who have been Republi cans for a lifetime openly express their regret at the committee's action, and declare that their motto is "Re publicanism for Republicans." Count ing the vote of Mr.. Schuebel and the five proxies that he had, there were only 11 votes in favor of the State ment, out of a total strength of 39 members on the Central Committee. ROSEBURG REJECTS IT, TOO Douglas County Republicans , Turn Down Statement Xo. 1. ROSEBURG. Or., Feb. 29. (Special.) At the meeting of the Republican central committee of Douglas County, held in the office of its secretary, Frank E. Alley, in Roseburg today, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously passed: Resolved. That we, the Douglas County Re publican Central Committee, regard Statement No. 1 of the direct primary law as a cum bersome, expensive and unwise method of nomination as destructive to a representative form of government, and we therefore con demn it as being dangerous-, unwholesome and not conducive to good government or "proper representation by the people. As a substitute' for Statement No. 1 the committee favored Republican can didates for the Legislature pledging themselves to vote for United States Senator for the Republican candidate receiving the most votes at the preced ing election. Opposition to Statement No. 1 is con trary to the views of all Republican legislative candidates so far as known, as they have all indorsed the same. Chehalls, Wash.

Supreme Court Gives Final Decision In Famous Grasson Case Aris ing in South Bend. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 29. (Special.) The Supreme Court today handed down a decision in the appeal of Neu bert and Cooper, of South Bend, against the South Bend Bank Company, in which they affirm a judgment favorable to the bank.

It was then deposited in the bank to Cooper's credit and the bank Btarted to collect. It was sent to New Yoit for collection and in a few days the bank was notified that it had been paid. Cooper thereupon bought a draft for 1375 upon the National Bank of Com merce of Tatoma, payable to James Grosson, and sent it to the payee at Seattle. Grosson sold this draft to Jamison and McKarland, who turned It over to the bank for collection.

"Besides, how could I safely perform operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of precision? When I raw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious.. At. this time I gave some Postum to a friend who was In a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A few days after I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, de claring he would never return to cof fee, but stick to Postum. We then or dered a full supply, and .withiri a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disap peared, blood circulation became nor mal, no dizziness nor heat flashes. "My friend became a Postum enthusi ast, his whole family using it exclu sively. "It would be .the fault of the one who brewed Postum if it did not taste good when served. "The best food may be spoiled if not properly inaae. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pack age. Then it is all right, any one can rely on It. It ought to become the National drink." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co.. Rattle Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to Wcll vllle," in packages.
