' lOkVA REPUBLICANS i WILL IVIEET TOMORROW ; - (United Press Leased Wire.) Des Moines, .Iowa, March 17. Dels mtes and visitors to the Republican state convention are already arriving in the city in considerable number. The ? attendance of visitors promises tobe unusually large. A gathering of thet Rtt - publicans of Jowa almost' always means an Interesting; political contest, and the atate convention tomorrow will certainly prove no exception to the rule. Politics In the Hawkeye state this year win reach tho boiling point. In addition to the contests Incident-to the presidential election this fall the state is to choose a governor and other state officials and a legislature that will have the choice of a United States senator to succeed the venerable Allison. Un der anything like normal conditions Iowa is anchored safely in the Jlepub " llonn column, and naturally the pollt- - leal wheel whirls most Intensely 'about the Republican party. The bitter fight between the "progressive" -end -the 'stand-pat" factions of the Republican party haa aroused a feeling of hope In the Democratic breasts, which tends to further enliven the political situation. The convention-tomorrow will choose delegates at large to the Republican - national convention.' In June a second convention will be Jheld at Waterloo to select a state tickef. The rivalry of the two factions has become so acute, bow ever, that the senatorial and guberna torial contests will figure in no small degree In the Droceedins-s tomorrow. I Already the hotel lobbies are filled with the party leaders from over the state, and a strenuous button hole campaign is being pursued In the interests of one or toe otner or the factions. (wsshtaftoa Buret f The- Journal.)' Washington,' D.

CASE TO -SETTLE Crawford Wishes to Enforce OrefforiLaws n Both 'Sides of Columbia. ' , (Special Dlspstek' The Joernsl.) Salem, Of.. March IT. A case of great importance to Oregon and Washington in regard to the amount of control each state haa over the, fishing In the Colum bia river Is being argued before the su preme court today. The case, which la entitled the atate against Price Nielsen, may go before he supreme court of the United States before a final decision is reached. Nell sen was arrested for fishing near As toria in disobeyance of a fishing law of this state. It Is the contention or Attorney-uen- erai Crawford that, the state has the right to enforce the -iisning laws or this state on both sides of the river and that Washington haa a similar right to enforce their laws on this side: else. says Crawford, there is no use In Oregon making fiah laws or maintaining any hatcheries, the laws of Washington per mlttlnsr the fishermen on the north side of the river to counteract the good oc casioned' by our laws. ' The question coming up at tnia nine Is particularly Interesting because of the possibility of the passage of a law h this state at the' election In June whereby fish wheels are prohibited in the upper CoUimbla, or of the passage of a bill prohibiting fishing on Sundays. Should either one, or both, of these laws gro into effect the penalties are that the canners will move their appliances to the Washington side, thereby depriving this state of a large revenue and at the same time fall In the attempt to preserve the salmon fisheries. The case will probably go to the United States supreme court In caso the state loses before the state ..supremo court. ST.'PATIilCK'S FEAST. OBSERVED AT BOSTON (Soeeltl Dlspstcfc to Toe Journal.) Iloquiam, Wash., March' 17. There Is torn discussion In. police circles as to tha advisability of destroying the build; ings which are deserted at Oraya Har bor City, as thev have become a refuge for tramps and hoboes of all kinds and conditions. The county commissioners have been requested to give permission for the destruction of the buildings, but could only refer tha police to the own ers of the structures, as they did not consider themselves empowered to give the required permission. , Thjs little hamlet is about four miles west of Hoqulam and Is a rello of the boom days -of the early nineties, ' At that time it had a nromlslng fu ture, and people stood In a long line for hour and sven days to get a chance to nay fabulous Drices for the town lots. Some fine buildings were erected, as well as a number of residences, some of the stores .-being fitted with plate glass windows. a wnarr a mue long was nuut out Into the bay at which vessels stopped on coming, in from California, and for, a short time tho little town nourisnoo. But there were no Industries to keep it up, and when the bottom fell out of the boom the town was quickly deaerted. But two or three families live mere now. and one of the worst gangs of burglars ever troubling this section maue it their headquarters until dis covered and dispersed..

'Unltd Press Ltssed Wire-) Boston, Mass., March 17.There was a double celebration in this city today, Evacuation day ana Ht. ratricK s ieas being observed. The parade and other festivities in honor of the patron saint of Ireland were as elaborate as in pre vious years, but the ceremonies com memorating the evacuation of Boston by the British were not quite so elaborate as heretofore. It has been the custom of many years for the city to donate sev eral thousand dollars toward the Evac uation day celebration; but the new Renulillcan administration, which has been cutting down expenses all along the line, decided mat me people coum show their patriotism better than by expending large sums on parades and fireworks, and consequently the appro priation was cut down. Interesting ex ercises were held nevertheless upon the South Boston peninsula, upon which the British forces were encamped" prior to their departure from the city. JOHN BUCHANAN - DIES OF CANCER (Siieclal Dispatch to The Journal.) Centralis. Wash. March 17. John Buchanan, a merchant of this city, died Sunday of cancer or me stomacn. ine funeral will be held today from the Christian church. He was born In Illi nois in 1833 and crossed the plains by Ox team in 1852. He located at Boist fort. Siic years later he returned to Illnols and was inarrled. He returned to the coest at onco with his bride. The rounu trio was made bv ox team. He came to Centralia n years ago and en gaged in the mercantile business. .He was married three times. Two adopted children survive. Two brothers and a sister live at Tacoma. (HpeeUl Plspitcb t The Journal.) Corvallls, Or.. March 16. The ques tion now Interesting the farmers ana vnrrfunora of thla vicinity is. "WhO will grow the tomatoea to supply the new cannery In CorvalllsT" The can nery will be completed and ready for business May 15, and the manager is now readv to contraot the season's yield from 80 to 100 acres of tomatoes alone. The capacity of the plant will be 12,000 cans every 10 nours, out ij Is the Intention to run a double shift of workers during the rush season, thus Increasing the output of the plant to 24,000 cans per day. The cannery company has ordered seeds, which are to arrive this week, and these seeds will be sold at whole sale prices to all who Intend to grow tomatoes for the new cannery. In this way It is hoped to obtain a uniform crop of all varieties that are desired for canning purposes, which will save the trouble of sorting the many kinds that would certainly be offered if each grower purchased seed at random. Inquiries have been received from several large firms in neighboring states, expressing a desire to handle the entire output of the Corvallls es tablishment. There are also numerous Inquiries from all directions regarding available tracta of land of from live to 40 acres in the vicinity or tjorvaias. These facta are taken as an Indication that tha new Industry will not only have plenty of material on which to operate, but that the product will find a ready market abroad m case me nnnlv of Willamette and Oregon canned sroods eventually exceeds the coast demand, which has never ye- beert and probsbly will not be the case for several years, at least Predictions are heard on all sides that land In this section, which is now selling at 859 an acre, will in the course of a very few years, command any where from $75 to $150 and hard to get at that; because, they argue, the Wil lamette valley Is not yet aroused to a proper appreciation of its possibilities and that it is destined In the com' paratlvely near' future to be a land of small farms set to fruit and gardens and dotted with, dairies and high-grade stock ranches. The Corvallls cannery- will employ about 75 nersons. Principally women and girls, and this will mean a payroll of no insignificant character to add to the business of the town. Walter K. Taylor has been elected manager of the cannery, 'and as ho Is an energetic and successful business man, the choice Is popular. PATRICIA BORN ON ST.
