ALL H FOB BIS G. 0. P. CONVENTION
Chicago, June 15. Trumpeting
wildly and with the scent of battle In
his proboscis, a trifle angered, per
haps, by the prodding of ambitious
onea who are attempting to climb
upon his back, but still sound of wind
and limb and eager for the fray, the
old war elephant of the Grand Old
Party was agin led forth In Chicago
today. It Is well that the aged beast
of burden is In good condition, for If
the enthusiasm of the Taft boomers
is any criterion, the G. O. P. elephant
will have a hefty cundldate to carry
In this year's race. While the main
show In the Coliseum will not open
until noon tomorrow, practically all
the performers, scene shifters and
audience are now In the city and
every tavern In the big town Is dis
playing a "standing room only" sign.
While many of the thirteen pre.
ceding national conventions have noi
been lucking In spectacular features,
this year's performance promises to
be the largest in its history. While
all the surface Indications point to
the speedy nomination of Taft, prob
ably on the first ballot, the specter of
a "second, elective term" and a stam
pede to Roosevelt Is still looming In
the back ground. Not all of the al
lies have yet given up hope and the
supporters of Huges, Fuirbunks, Knox
and Cannon are at times able to
make themselves heard above the
deafening din of the Taft men.
The candidates for vice president
are also receiving much attention
from the delegates and thousands of
politicians and the supporters of the
various men now in the field are
urging the merits of their fuvorltes
with the greatest vehemence. Ther
Is general talk today that Fairbanks
may sucreed himself, but this Is
strenuously denied by defecates from
states having favorite sons of their
own.
Taft on I'lrxt llullot.
Manager Frank H. Hitchcock, of
the Taft headquarters. Is claiming 700
TOO votes for his candidate on the
first ballot and declares that no other
candidate will be seriously consider
ed. As only 491 votes are necessary
to nominate, a loss of 200 from this
estimate would still leave Taft the
vletor. Manager Humphreys of the
Hughes headquatrers alleges that the
New York candidate will not receive

less than 125 votes on the first bal
lot. Many prominent negro republican
are in Chicago toduy and this morn
ing commenced a conference at the
Qulnn chapel. Speeches announcing
opposition to Taft were made but no
specific favoritism as to candidates
was chosen,,
The New York delegation Is not
manifesting any remurkable enthu
siasm for Hughes and Its support of
the governor Is likely to be half
hearted. The delegation will meet
this afternoon at the Auditorium and
a hot fight over the chairmanship Is
expected, arising from the opposition
among some of the delegates to Gen
eral Woodford. Delegates from many
other states will hold their organiza
tion meetings this afternoon.
Despite the repeated declaration of
President Roosevelt that he will not
accept another1 nomination, the move
ment started by Senator Jonathan
Bourne of Oregon, Is apparently gain
ing, some strength among the dele
gates. A clrculur Is being distributed
among the delegates, setting forth
that Roosevelt Is the only candidate
who could win a republican victory
this fall and giving the following rea
sons why Taft should not be nomi
nated: Tuft's Opixtslllon.
"The secretary of war has Incur
red the displeasure of the Jews,
which will follow him to the, polls,
because of his visit to the czar of
Russia on his most recent trip
abroad.
"Mr. Taft has Incurred the openly
announced hostility of the negroes
because of his action In the Browns
vile case.
"The secretary will encounter the
almost solid opposition of labor be
cause of his strike-Injunction record.
And finally, "that his memorial
day speech has Incurred for him the
tiot-to-be-desplsed opposition of the
('rand Army of the Republic and Its
affiliations."
The Collseeum the scene of many
historic gatherings Is now ready for
the opening of the convention, the
final touch to the decorations having
been added today. Roth the Interior
and the cxterlod of the big edifice
have been decorated In a lavish and
artistic manner.
Many changes have been made In
the Interior, the most radical of tliese
being an entire change In the seating
arangements. The platform. Instead j
of being In the center of one side of
the Coliseum, Is at one end. This
does not decrease the number of sea
but will permit all who occupy seats
both to see and hear all the preced
ing The total number of peats. Is 11.
011, which Includes the seats provided
In the balcony that extends around
the hall. On a raised platform above
the floor of the auditorium are seats
for the chairman and secretaries of
the convention and 46 seats for mem
bers of the national committee. The
section Immediately in the rear of
the platform provided for specially In
vited guests contains 1826 seats. Di
rectly In front of the platform and ex
tending on both sides of It are the
sections provided for working mem
bers of the press. These sections
give desk room for 416 writers, nearly
100 more than were provided for' at
the lust convention,
In the body of the hall 1000 seats
are provided for the delegates and
Immediately back of them 1000 more
have been set aside for the alternates.
On each side of these two section
and In the rear of them are 3615
seals for the spectators, these sec
tions being aranged In amphitheater
style. The balcony sections contain
219S seats for the general public,
most of them being very desirable.
Entrances to yie hall, are provided
on all sides, the total numbering 12,
exclusive of several stairway en
trances from the basement to the
platform and guests sections. In the!
basement admirable arrangements
have been made for the convenience
of the delegates, alternates and the
members of the press. Telegraph
and telephone offices have been es-!
tabllshed and typewriting rooms pro
vided for newspaper men. The deco- i
rations of the Coliseum, both Inside
and outside, are elaborate and beauti
ful. No portraits have been allowed
among the embellishments of the Co
liseum. The convention hall will be
absolutely "dry" during the conven
tion. It having been decided that "no
liquor shall be sold, served or brought
to the convention hall."
It Is generally believed that the
T.ift pltform will be adopted as a
declaration of principles by the convention.
TWO RIO WHEAT CARGOES.
Third of a Million Bushels Will Leave
Portland In Two Slils.
Two immense wheat cargoes will
be sent away from here this fall on
sailing vesels according to an an
nouncement made this morning, says
the Oregon Pally Journal., They will
be carried by the Rrltish barks An
dorlnha and Lydgate and combined
will represent about 375,000 bushels.
The Andorlnha was here In Janu
ary. 1904, and took away the largest
wheat cargo ever set afloat here on a
sailing ship, the exact quantity belnn
1S2.461 bushels. It was about the
smie time that the mammoth tramp
steamer Lime Branch leff here with
the record breaking steamer wheat
cat go, her shipment being 259,000
bushels, the largest wheat cargo ever
set afloat from the Pacific northwest
or possibly from any port In the
world.
The Andorlnha registers 3,1 S7 tons
net. She will come here In .ballast
from Iquiquc where she arrived Jan
n.iry U2 with a part cargo of general
merchandise from Europe ,yia Val
paraiso. She Is In command of Cap
tain Griffiths.

of the Peoples Warehouse, after an Inspection of our lands at Echo,
tripled his original purchase. C. E. Roosevelt of the, Boston Store,
doubled his holdings. J.A.Robinson, who visited the project with
no Intention to buy, would not let the opportunity pass to get In on
the ground floor. Mr. J. V. Tall man would not part with his land to
day at CO per cent Increase.
Gay Hayden, who has taken nine acres, regrets he cannot take 40.
We do not guarantee the present price to long prevail. Every
visitor to the Furnlsh-Coe lands Is loud In praise of the project. Do
not take our word for it. Come down with me and see for yourself.

as the Andorlnha, is a big carrier, her
net register being 2350 tons. She left
Hamburg February 9 for Sunt Ro
salia with general cargo and was
spoken March 31 in 6 north, 24 west.
She was here In 1900 for a cargo of
wheat. She too will come in ballast.
It is pnsible that the big windjam
mers will get away with still larger
cargo, s than they caried on their
former visits here because a measure
is under consideration to have the
loading line on British sailing vessels
raised sufficiently to Increase the ca
pacity one fourth of that now indi
cated by the Plimsol mark. This
would give the Andorlnha about 40,
nnn more bushels than she took out
last time.
Forest Guards Named.
I'. S. G. Turner has been appointed
a forest guard on the Blue mountains
national forest, and James L. Furnish,
Ralph Taylor and Archie O. Knowlc
have been appointed forest guards on
the Cascade (Willamette) national
forest.
