PAXTON, of Multnomah County, TILMON FORD, of Marion County, J. C. FULLERTON, of Douglas County, W. J. FURNISH, of Uma tilla County. McKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT. At Philadelphia on the 21st, President McKinley was unani mously renominated for president of the United States by the Repub lican national convention and an hour later Gov. Roosevelt of New York was unanimously selected to stand beside him in the coming battle. Such UDaoimous demonstrations in honor of nominees of a national convention have never before been equalled perhaps in the history of politics in this country. It was a love feast, a jubilee and a ratifica tion meeting. HEPPNER'S GUESTS. The business men of Heppner are alive and enterprising, and they want all of Morrow county to enjoy the Fourth. They have freely subscribed the cash to pay the expense of entertaining, and they invite all the people of the county to come to Heppner on the Fourth and eirjoy their hospitality. One of the best orators in the Northwest will deliver the oration. THE BOXERS. j The storm center in world poli tics harjgs over Pekin, the capital of the water-logged Chinese em pire and Tien Tain, Us seaport, 65 miles distant, one of the 13 ports open to foreign trade, says the Ukiah Sentiuel. The riots and outrages involving the loss of many lives and a vast amount of prop erty, which have occurred m the Yangtee valley are the work of the Boxers, the inspiring principle of which is hatred of foreigners and resistance to foreign innovation. The war cry of the Boxers is prac tically the same as that which Dennis Kearnev's cohorts shouted in California a few years ago: "The Chinese must go." The Boxers' cry: "Death to the foreigners." The situation at Pekin, from the western point of view is extremely critical. There is material in abun dance at the capital and at Tien Tsin for a disasterous explosion. The western nations have landed a force sufficient, perhaps, to pro tect their respective consulates in the two cities, but not large enough to protect life and property in the surrounding country. Russia is the only power that has an ade quate military force within easy range, and the Chinese govern ment is being pressed to call on Russia to intervene and restore order. All the world knows what this means and resents it. Japan pre-emptorally forbids it and will oppose such a move by force, it is said. The Czar of all Russia is to be congratulated on the grand success of his late peace congress. Jle now proposes to "restore tranquil ity" by marching 25,000 troops to the disturbed provinces of China and may do it thoufih all the other powers object. In that case, there may be a clash in which the Box ers and their massacres will be forgotten, and war blaze out over the whole world. Heppner is xo have a glorious Fourth of July celebration. For the past two years its citizens have rested while other places have given vent to their patriotism This year they propose to celebrate in grand style and invite every man, woman and child in Morrow and adjoining counties to join with them. Everybody who wants to see a glorious and grand celebra tion should avail themselves of this opportunity , and bring their families to Heppner. All will be welcome. The gentle showers of balmy June which fall on Gilliam's hills make farm and ranch and town attune with pleasurable thrills of pure dohght. With glad acclaim we make the welkin ring and everybody joiuH in shout proclaim ing Wheat is King. Condon U lobe. . THE PLATFORM. The national republican platform strong, vigorous and positive. There is no ambiguous language, no high sound ing phrases that mean nothing. It has a strong paragraph on the war for lib erty, indorses McKinley, renews alle giance to the principles of the gol standard, opposes the free and unlim ued coinage oi silver witnoui t tie sup port of the leading commercial conn tries of world, denounces trusts, favors the associated policy of reciprocity, more eiiecuve restriction ot undesirable immigration, the extension of oppor tunities of education, and the protection of free labor as agninst convict labor urges legislation to foster shipping proposes a liberal policy as regards pensions, coramonds the party's policy in maintaining civil bo r vice, opposes discrimination against the colored voter, advocates that the arid lands be reclaimed, favors a high terilf, tbe con struction of a government isthmian canal, commends tbe governmental policy on foreign a ll'airs, and speaks clearly and intelligently on the question of our new responsibilities under the treaty of Paris. It is in fact a republi can document that the whole nation has has reason to be proud of. The platform is one that all true Americans cau Btand on. THE HORSE. Dealers in horses throughout the country are of the opinion that the de mand for cavalry horses will continue even after the close of the South African war. This belief is based on the fact, now practically admitted by British agents in this country, that the horse equipment of the army is deficient, and that 50,000 horses will be required be fore Lord Roberts has fully completed tbe re organization of the army, which is to be commenced when the present hostilities cease. Fossil Journal. Edward Blewett, manager of tbe Ore gon Horse ana Land Company, with ranges on the Owyhee country, says that the sale of horses recently made by tbe company was to Parker & Banvick, of Illinois, and included 5000 head. Tbe horses are purchased for the purpose of i supplying the farmers of Iowa and Illinois, who are suffering from a great scarcity owing to the heavy shipments to Europe, the Philippines and to South Africa. . The horses will be shipped in lots of 700. They are consigned to different towns in those two states. Mr. Blewett says that Dave Shea, Con Shea and William Jones, who are large horse raisers, nave soul tneir Morses, one party recentlj buying 10,000 head to ship east, where they will be resold to the tanners. MAILS. From all along the line of the Hepp ner Canyon City mail route come reports of people furnishing labor and supplies in connection witii carrying the U, S. mail, and not being able to tret their pay. It is time that the government devised a way to protect these people who make it poxsible for mails to be curried. When contracts on govern ment buildings are being paid for, the government makes the contractor show that the material and labor has been paid for. It should enforce the same sensible rule in connection with mail contracts. There is room fur a whole lot of im provement in the mail service here. Heppner and the great interior tribu tary to it should have mail 7 times a week instead of 0, and the service to Haystack and Spray shonld be resumed via Heppner, so that those people would not have to wait four dayj o get their m,ail as they Jo now, HARVEST -HANDS. The Statesman says : In view of the fact that the-harvest season will be at hand in two or three weeks farmers are getting in readiness for the important occasion. Farmers believe that harvest hands in the Walla Walla valley will he fewer than 'they were last year. The number of hands now in the city is very light and unless tbe number greatly in creases within the next 15 days farmers will experience much trouble in getting their grain harvested. Toward the end of the harvest season last year hand were very scarce and the farmers in some localities were compelled to pay usutmally high wages, IONIC ITEMS. Iono I'oat. Kverything seems to he favorable for a big crop of wheat this fall. Morrow county is coming to the front, The wheat market is strengthening some the lust few days with indications that the price will soon be at a profit' able figure for our producers. Morrow county will soon have an abundance of the cereal to dispose of. Robert Hirschi, a young man of High land, 111., who came here a short time ago to work for Ed Keller, died Monday of la grippe. WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK. Portland, June 2(1. The Chicago wheat market was on the toboggan slide yesterday, and after a tew wild gyrations closed with a thud 4rt under Monday's close, a net decline for the two days of (k: per bushel. The wheat market in Portland remains thoroughly consistent on the question of price. It did not follow Chicago's advance to the limit, and it is not following the decline. There was not much doing yesterday, and quotations are to a certain extent nominal, hut oDoitlOu was still ottered for both Walla Walla and Valley. The freight situation is unchanged, with very high rates asked, but no transac tions reported. Flour is 10c higher.

THE WAR IN CHINA. Washington, June 24 A telegram from Admiral Kempff, dated Che Foo, June 24, says : In ambuscade near Tien Tsin on the first, fonr of Waller's com mand killed and seven wounded. Names will be furnished as soon as re ceived. " Force of 2000 going to relieve Tien Tsin today. Tbe secretary of the navy has ordered Admiral Remey with tbe Brooklyn to go to Taku and assist the army with what troops the Brooklyn can carry. Word reached the navy department that the battle-ship Oregon got away from Hong Kong last night, bound for Taku. This is two days ahead of ber expected start. She took on 104 sailors and marines brought to Hong Kong by the Zafiro. The big Bhip may now have a chance to repeat her celebrated per formance "around the Horn," as she is being crowded for a fast run to tbe scene of action. The distance is about 1500 miles, and if she makes her record time she will be at Taku in six days, about the same time that the Brooklvn will arrive from Manila. London, June 25. The position of tbe international forces in the section of Northern China where 1000 men are striving to keep a footing and to succor the legations in Pekin appears to in crease in peril with every fresh dispatch. Pekin lias not been beard from direct for 14 days. The last dispatch was one imploring aid. Admiral Seymour's column of 2000 was last heard from 12 days ago. At. that time it was surround ed midway between Pekin and Tien Tsin. Possibly now it has reached Pekin. The 3000 internationals at Tien Tsin were hard pressed and fighting for their lives Thursday, and a relieving force of less than 1000 had been beaten back to Taku Friday. Observers on the spot think that 100,000 men would not be too many to grasp China firmly. The Admiralty has received the fol lowing from the British rear-admiral at Taku: Che Foo, June 23. Only one runner has got through from Tien Tsin for five days. No information could be obtained except that the foreign settlement had been almost entirely destroyed, and that our people were fighting hard. News is received as this telegram is dispatched that an attempt to relieve Tien Tsin June 23 was repulsed with some loss. Official Japanese telegrams confirm the reports of a defeat of the allied forces at Tien Tsin. The foreigners there are now placed in a raoBt deeper ate situation. The Russian Admiral Hillebrad yesterday sent a mixed force of 4000 from Taku to attempt the relief of Tien Tsin. Nearly half of the force consisted of Japanese. The remainder was made up of contingents represent ing the other nations. The guns of the Chinese around Tien Tsin are superior to anything the de (ending European force has or is likely to have for some time. The bombardment of Tien Tsin con' tinued Friday. Bomb sheers were has tilv erected by the foreign troops. The food supply is insufficient, and the con tinued shelling is reported to be telling terribly. WESTON NORMAL.
