Sound people are more or less alarmed at the situation resulting Indirectly from the passage of the railway commis sion Mil by the Washington legislature through which many farm products are now being diverted to Portland, rather than to Seattle markets. ' The O. R. & X. company followed the passage of the act by the aboli tion of Its "Joint rates" with the Northern Pacific. It is a pleasant lit tle handicap In the course of the rail road commission at the outset of its career and Is giving them no little concern. Those points on the O. It. A S. line where there is no rail competition, are now practically forced by the dif ference In railroad rates to find their market In Portland, rather than in Seattle. Hay destined for Alaska and formerly marketed on the Sound, is now declured to be going to Portland. There will be a fight for Joint rates before the railroad commission at its next meeting In Colfax. The O. R. & N. Is fighting joint rates at every turn, und will probably procure some good equivalent for the Portland market If it renounces the trade now going that way. TAGGART GRANTED DIVORCE.

SOUVENIRS CI BY THEIR ABSENCE Some of the Most "Discor dant" Republicans Not at the Love Feast. EX-GOV. GKEH AND MAYOR JOHNS OF BAKER. THHKR. Wltliyconibe, Moody and Furnish Were All Elsewhere, While Judge Lowe Attended Many Gave Temporising Reasons for Their Presence, Evi dently Not Wishing Complete Iden tification With the Movement One Attendant Who Is Known All Owr the State Declared Tliat as a Har mon iwr the Conference Did All Ex pected of It. Yesterday the much heralded re publican peace conference was held la the Empire theater in Portland, and was attended by many representative members of that party from all parts of the state. The professed object of the meeting was to bring together the discordant elements of the party I" order that at the next election the party ticket would be upheld. This, in outward appearance at least, is said to have been done, though some of the most "discordant" members were con spicuous by their absence. Around the corridors of the Im perial hotel the stalwarts were gath ered during the day when not at th meetings, and there were other con ferences held aside from the mala show In the Empire theater. Conspic uous In the throng yesterday was th tall form of ex-Governor Ueer, whs was one of the large delegatloa from LMarlun . county which overcame fit scneuuiea program ami elected Frank Davey as the chairman of the meet ing. However, there Is said to have been no deep political significance ia that event, although Davey has in the past been one of Geer's staunch sup porters. Also prominent among the out of town visitors was Mayor Johns of La ker City, who reached there on Wed nesday, apparently In the Interests of his gubernatorial candiducy. Dr Wlthycombe of Corvallls, the only other avowed candidate for that nom- j inntlon, was not present, being pre vented by his duties at the Agricul tural college from attending. Ex Congressman Moody was not lhr either, but is said to have been pre vented by the Illness of a sister living at Salem. Nor was W. J. Furnish -4 Pendleton, anywhere to be seen among the crowd, for he did not go down, al though he was appointed as Umatilla's member on the committee on resolu tions. However, there was a goodly num ber of representative men from Pen dleton and Umatilla county in spits of the predictions that no one but the county committeeman "vouhl attend from here. Among those who attend ed were Judge S. A. Lowell, Major Lee Moorhouse, county con'iiilitee. man; Dr. F. W. Vincent and IS. Alex ander, while G. W. Froehsttl v.-js then from Weston. Many of those who were there from the various parts of the stute declared that they had been compelled to com to Portland for other reasons, and seemed reluctant to admit they had come for the love feast. However, finding themselves In congenial com pany they lined up and partook of th;lr respective portions. When seen at the Imperial last eve ning one of the delegates whose name is known in most of the 750 precincts of the state, said: "The conference did everything that was expected of It, for It brought many of the party together and allowed of a discussion of the measures to be taken for the future, and will tend to lessen the factional struggles that have been rending the party for some time past. While those things cannot be wiped out by any such procedure, the meeting paved a way for peace where such is wanted, und it certain ly did no harm. COlORADO TOWN AFIRE.
