France Still to Protect.
Paris, July 14. M. Constans,
French ambassador to Turkey, in an
interview discredited the report that
Germany will assume the protection
of Turkish subjects in China. Here
tofore France has assumed the pro
tectorate, and he has not received the
least intimation that such a step was
to be taken. It has always been the
custom, he says, for the porte and the
French representative in Constanti
nople to have an exchange of views
on any affair of importance, but the
question of transferring the protec
torate has not been discussed.

Bandon Business Men Raise Fund for
Improvement.
Bandon. The business men of Ban
don are raising a fund for river and
harbor improvement work, independ
ent of congress. A lagoon near the
mouth of the Coquille river deflects a
considerable volume of water from
the channel, lessening its scouring ef
ficiency and causing the formation
from time to time of a sand bar. The
money, of which a considerable
amount has been already subscribed
by public spirited citizens, business
men and mill and ship owners, will
be used to build a breakwr.vr across
the lagoon. It is the opinion of engi
neers in the government sen ice that
this will confine the water to the main
channel, and keep the sand washed
away.
The regular government appropri
ation of $G(),ooo, which is being ex
pended on the north jetty, is making
a wonderful improvement in the en
trance to the river, and no vessels
have been barbound for a period of
nearly a year. An attempt will be
made to have the Coquille river men
tioned for a $500,000 appropriation at
the next session of congress.
Continue Forestry Experiments,
Astoria Dr. Hawley, the forestry
department expert, who has been here
for several weeks experimenting with
waste products of the mills and logging
camps, has gone to Everett to conduct
similar investigations, and from there
will go to Vancouver. Later he will
return to Astoria to' complete his work
here, and eventually will conduct ex
periments at Portland. The report of
Dr. Hawley 's work this far has been
sent to the department in Washington
and will be made publie by it. After
concluding his labors on this coast, Dr.
Hawley will go to Montana to experi
ment with the waste products of the
larch forests.
Trolley Line to Hillsboro.
Ilillsboro. The United Railways
has concluded its first preliminary,
survey into Ilillsboro since its pres
ent owners gained control. The line
conies from near Linnton. over the
Cornelius Pass, runs through the
Bethany - Phillips - West Union sec
tions, the richest dairy section in the
country, and crossing the north plain;
of the Tualatin, strikes Hiilsboro
three blocks east of town, on Main
street. The new survey taps an im
mensely rich section.
NO MORE DICTATION.
Cherry Growers In Marion County to
Fight Canneries.
Salem. Cherry growers in Marion
county who are facing 3-cent prices
ire contemplating the organization of
an additional cannery association. The
Mutual Canning company, now under
the absolute control of one man. is
declared to have overreached itself in
its efforts to compel the growers to
submit to three-year contracts. In
v:cw of past experiences and the con
ditions confronting them this year,
the fruit men are talking seriously of
building a new cannery.
In Liberty precinct a number of
growers have expressed their willing
ness to subscribe $500 toward the
erection of a cannery. Growers in
other parts of the county are also
realizing the necessity of concerted
acti( n if they desire to stay in the
fruit business.
"Cherry growers and other small
fruit men." said Fruit Inspector E. C.
rmstrong. "will lose enough this
vear to build a good cannefv. I shall
do everything in my power to assist
the growers to organize an associa
tion that will remain a mutual organi
zation, and I believe such a cannery
can be built for less than $10,000."
It will be impossible to erect a can
nery this summer, but it is the plan
to start in the fall. The Liberty
growers' plan is to erect a cannery as
a packing plant this summer, and next
spring enlarge it and add the machin
ery necessary to take care of all the
fruit that may be offered.
the Mutual Canning company is
buying cherries at 3 cents a pound.
The growers refused to sign the three-
year contracts, but there is little hope
of better nrices from the cannery this
year or next. In- California the can
neries are paying from 6 to 8 cents for
the cherry cron and it is said the fruit
will not compare with the Marion
county product.

The nomination was the closing;
scene of a night of the most delirious,
excitement ever witnessed even in a
Democratic convention. The wait for
the report of the committee on reso
lutions was prolonged until midnight,
and after an hour of freelance ora
tory the delegates decided to get the
agniiy of nominating speeches over as.
soon as possible. They therefore sus
pended the rules and called for nomi
nations before the platform was re
ported. I. L. Dunne, of Omaha, electrified
the convention with a lurid panegyric
on the Commoner, and at its conclu
sion every Bryan delegation joined in
a most tumultuous outburst of en
thusiasm. They tore the state stand
ards from their fastenings and
marched around the hill, beating
drums, blowing horns, clashing cym
bals, bearing down every person wh
came in their way, women included.
They massed the standards around
the speaker's stand, and waved them
so recklessly that they tore thc dec
orative eagles from their perches.
This din continued to rise and fail
by turns for an hour and 14 minuter
in a vast building packed so densely
with humanity that it was impossible
for any person in the galleries t
move in his seat and with many of
the aisles and doorways jammed s
that ingress or egress was impossib'e.
A lesser demonstration greeted the
nomination of Governor Johnson, of
Minnesota, by Winticld Scott Ham
mond. On an ordinary occasion thi-t
demonstration would have been con
sidered very much out of the com
mon, for it continued for It minutes,
and the cheers and yells made up iit
earnestness what they lacked in volume.
Judge Gray's name was greeted
with a spasmodic outburst of cheering
from the scattered delegations which:
supported him, but bv this time every
body was too much exhausted for an

forced to abandon thc attempt to.
make a speech.
