AND NEW IIAMPSIHUE Tart Ilegln m Campaign in New York on Monday Evening Illinois Democrat to HoM Conventions in Springfield on TUurwIuy Thought Tart Will Win tho Nevada Dele gatesStale Election In Louisiana on Tuesday. Washington, April 18. Next week will probably be a quiot one in politi cal circle, as few important conven tions are scheduled. Only two state conventions will be held by the re publicans, that of Nevada In Wlnne mucca and of New Hampshire In Con cord. The former Is set for Monday and the latter for Tuesday, Delegates fa vorable to the Taft candidacy are as sured In Nevada, according to reports from the Sagebrush state. The ac tion to bo taken by the New Hamp shire convention Is n so easily fore casted, although It Is likely that -an unlnstructed delegation will be cho sen. By far the most Important state , convention of the coming week will be that of the Illinois democrats, to be held on Thursday In Springfield. The Illinois State Central committee, with only one dissenting vote, has In dorsed William J. Bryan for the presidency In the most emphatic language, and this endorsement will doubtless receive the sanction of the state convention. Massachusetts democrats will hold their spring caucuses on Wednesday, and the state convention will be held In Boston on May 7. Bryan boomers have made determined efforts to cap ture the Bay state and apparently with every hope of success. The at tempt to arouse Johnson sentiment In Massachusetts has been a flat fail ure. Congrecslonal district conventions to be held luring the week will have little effect upon the standing of th candidates, and, will leave Taft and Bryan with the leads they have main tained since the opening of the cam' palgn. Secretary Taft will begin the week in New York,' addressing the meeting wf the Laymen's missionary move ment on Monday night Mr. Bryan will also continue his New York tour during the week and will deliver sev eral addresses. ' The. most Important political ban quel of tho' week will be held here next Saturday night by the League of state republican clubs All of the re publican candidates for the presiden cy have been Invited and President will likely deliver a brief address. ' A state election will be held on Tuesday In Louisiana, when state of ficers will be elected and several amendments to the constitution will be voted on. Jared Y. Sunders was nominated as gubernatorial candidate In the recent democratic primaries and will be elected without serious opposition. , ' i f . A .. !. K" i ....'

The phenomenal growth of the business of the American Falls com pany has made Imperative the in crease of Its plant's capacity, and the order placed yesterday for addition al units is merely a step toward ulti mate development of tho 70.000 theo retical or 56,000 actual horse power available at the falls.

One of the biggest land deals ever consummated In this state, and In volving the transference of between 2200 to 2.'100 acres- of the best land in Columbia county, which also means the best land In the state, or In the I'nlted States, as far as th:it (rots. Is now on the tapis, says the Dayton Courier-Press. Everyone In Payton Is well acquainted with tho famous Hlchnrdson ranch, about two miles down the ToifMiet from Dayton And all are equally aware of the fact that It is the best pleceof property of that size In the county, and It has proven to be so by the wealth It h;is hrouitht to Its owner, W. H. Hlchard son. in past ye'lrs by reason of his intelligent methotlK of farming In conjunction with the native fertility if the land. Mr. Kichanlson has made a big success of his farming operations, and it Is no disarrangement this fine body land that Mr. Richardson wishes to dispose of It. He wishes merely to transfer his energies to other fields, and while he does not quite wish for other worlds to conquer, he ha de rlded to make Portland the scene of his energies In future. To handle a deal of this size per haps no one other man than Mr. Mroughton In this county has the wealth necessary to do so. and while the price asked by Mr. Richardson Mi. 000. sctms a big sum, In five yeuis this property could nt be bought for double the price, which Is a little over $68 an acre with a per fect eulpment of horses, machinery, residence, elevators and grain storage t.ir.ks and many other buildings ne cesary for the proper conduct of such an extensive bsiness.

In "Tho District Ldader," which comes to the Oregon on April 21, Joseph Howard, writer of "The Um pire." "Tho Land of Nod," "The Time, the Place and the Girl," is said to have achieved his greatest success thus far. This appears to be a somewhat strong assertion to make, taking Into consideration the fact that all of Mr. Howard's previous efforts have been included In the "tremendous hit" class, but competent critics who have steu "The District Leader," all agree that this, the latest creation from the prolific brain- of the popular song writer and composer, Is the best thing he has done. To pry one familiar with Mr. How ard's work, this should be all-sufficient. "The District Leader" differs from the great majority of so-called musical comedies In that It has a plot, not a flimsy, disconnected story, put in to hold the piece together, but a strong melodramatic sequence of events that almie would hold the at tention of any audience. Add to this the fact that the play is plentifully Intersprlrikled with mu sic representing Mr. Howard at his best, and some Idea may be had of the entertaining qualities of "The Dis trict Leader."

Miss Dovey will be remembered for her cbver singing and dancing In "The Innd of Nod." and In the part of Fo.le Whittle In "The District Lead er" she has ample opportunity to please along the same lines. The balance of the cast support Miss Dovey and Mr. Truesdalo In a manner which Is well calculated to hrlns forth all of the praise the pro duction has merited this season.

Most of this num ber were ordinary curs, as those who possess blooded dogs are careful to see that the tag on the dog's collar Is kept up to date. About once a week a number of the animals are killed at the pound and the remains cremated. The killing Is done by shooting with a rifle and rarely does the executioner have to fire the second cartridge. Thirty-five animals were kjlled Sat urday and there are between 12 and 15 more that will go the route this Saturday unless the owner happens along and rescues them. The animals now In the pound have passed their legal apprenticeship and are eligible for death, but will probably not" be dlnpatched until the end of the week.
