Editorial
TliriiSPAY,
Republican Convention.
The Itepublican nVlional convention, meeting in Chicago this
week, will doubtless non.iii i' Wmi. H. Taft for president, he having
more than enough instructs I an I pledged delegates to insure his vic
tory on the first ballot. The nomination will probably be made unan
imous; before the firnt roll call is ended.
Secretary Taft has been the leading candidate for the nomination
for over a year, the only doubt being whether the opposition could pre
vent his winning on the first or second ballot, an I then encompass his
detent, iiv corntunina on someone acceptable alike to the cannon, Knox,
Ilug'tus boomer. The loose link in
of untie standing the attitude, of the
a 111 icted tiiem lor the last four years
f Ulioni the secret of Roosevelt's hold
figured it w is becaose of some personal attribute of picture. uene s
or "plays to the gallery." They have always failed to see that tie
re isen was deeper and the tuld
w.is an I is the f.ihh of the people in
I'residont Roosevelt.
The president has made mistakes, and lovable would be the last
term used to d -scribe his personality
I'aft and said Taft was the best man to continue the present adminis
tration policies, the people are sure he is thoroughly honest in that
belief. The (Uestion of whether Roosevelt is mistaken in his estimate
of Taft is another story.
And that is why Taft will be nominated this week at Chicago.
He has the Roosevelt strength with the people, und that is founded on
the rock of honesty in public service.
From t ow on Taft w 11 be judged on his own merits. Roosevelt's
guaraut) secured his nomination but is not sufficient to elect him.
November will tell of the people's fstimale of Taft as June tells of tli9
preside. ilV faith in his big secretary of war.
The interest of the convention i centering around the tariff plank.
Not that there is danger of the party policy of protection being
abandoned, but whether the ''stand-patters-' will be able to keep out a
declaration for a reasonable revision of the Dingley schedules. If they
are Btrong enough to do that, it will be pretty rough sledding for Mr.
Taft this summer and fall. There are few people who believe a tariff
schedule should be held sacred and never changed regardless of
changed conditions
The ' trust-busting" plank will be strong but not radical. In
fact not hing of a startling or sensational nature is expected in the
news from Chicago this week. This real polit cal fireworks is more
likely to be set off in Denver next month.
The railroad official are pushing construction work on the Wal
lowa county extension with a zeul that makes up in part for the long
postponement. Engineers and other9 engaged actively in the work
,ire confident the truck will be completed within four months. If that
c n:e true trains could be running into the county during October,
the month when homeseekers will be coming to the Northwest by tens
of thousands. Co-operation on the part of the different o ganiz itions
; hut are working to build up the cour ty, would bring a fair share of
these homeseekers iiro Wallowa county.
The Oregon Humane Society have installed nine ornamental
drinking fountains at various point throughout Portland. In ad
lition to the regulation drinking cups, places are provided for dogs
md horses. Eight r.f these fountains were presented by citizens of
Portland, while the ninth is the gift of the National Humane society
if New York, who are presetting similar fountains to different cities in
the United Stales. '
Secretary 0. II Marsh of the Pendleton Commercial association
is enthusiastic over.the future of his city and Una itilla con ty, and
idvises that his soliciting committee will not ceise their efforts until
i hey have secured irS.000 to give publicity to the resources and ad
vantages of the county.
While cyclones and Hoods are visiting the South, 15 rt and Middle
West, and the rising waters are des roving millions of dollars worth of
farm and city property, Oregon is enjoying beautiful weather, de
licious fruit and looking forward with the confidence inspired by
assured crops this fall.
The Rose carnival, grand lodges and state conventions attracted
.in unusual num'nr of visitors to Portland from Wallowa county
during the last two weeks. 1 he returning travelers praise highly the
hoP iti Lty of Oregon's metropolis
Whitman Co l 'ge has been made a non-sectarian school, having

Journey From Coos Bay.
Editor News Record : We left Myrtle
Print May 2fl in company with Mr.
Hush and family, arriving at Maisb
ticld at 2 p. m., and took dinner at Gar
Held hotel after hiring l agaue hauled
from dep t to ship docks and ofliee.
We had u line dinner of fried clams.
After securing tickets aud berths on
the ship Al'.iaree for the following
morning, walked nil the wharf and
viewed the ruanv boats and tide ho ds. I
In many places the bouses and streets
aie built a few feet up from the gtoiind,
on piling, and many have water under
pem when the tide comes in. We met
an olil sea captain with whom we got
acquainted, com in down. He was
nicely dressed, well posted and jolly.
Me remembered us hy Dewey, who w.ien
a -asick win ted to walk awhile. He
said "Tell the purser you a-e a friend of
Captain Hollins aud see if he don't
treat you nice."
Tuesday morning: After breakfast
we take the flyer, the boat that takes
us to the ship at North B ud, 4 mi es
di.-tiut All is gajety. Kveryhody
smiles and with hinda full of flowers
and souvenirs aud a continual waving
ami shout.'lig, greetings or, goodbye;
ladies waving goodbye to friends, those
waving to some friend or shouting to,
them ; pei haps some fel ow boozed up a
little gets In and if he has no friends
.. i . . ,
n. ne is wiser f r he can get in and
wave and gesticulate, there are so many
that no one knows who each Is waving '
to then. I counted over (i0 standii K on '
the upner deck on the llyer besides 1
those on the lower deck and in the !
cabins. When we get to; our ship, the ;
Alliance, all is bustle for a few minut. s '
till we' each find our staterooms, the
number i f whi -h is shown on our
ll ket. All is gayety till we tart out
over the bar. This crossing Is governed
by the lide, we must go out at high
tide. The crossing is particularly i
rough, the gayety ceases, one after I
ai other gets very sick, some go to bed, i
others hang over the railing feeding the '
llsh. After crossing the bir there is a :
very rough H.-a ai d facing a strong j
head wind we make slow time; all day '
line meals and few able to eat, though !
some on I heir first trip escape and eat
every meal.
Xext morning all Is changed ; a very
still sea for old ocean though, the good
ship kept up a continual roaring up in
front, jumping a breaker, then kicking
up behind, then laying clear over on
one side, than q ickly the oth -r way; as
the Dutchman said of his mule, "lie go
every way at oi.ee." After we near
Tillamook things of interest show up
taster than I can scribble. We sailed
between the light house and shore,
something they don't do in years, and
to desiribe the fine buildings and
equipmint would require loo much
time and space. The wreck of a large
4 masted vessel was in sight, also sea
side camps, many tents and people,
then Tillamook nestling at the foot if
hills and sloping on down near the sea,
then another big wreck washed high
aud dry till they can't float her, then
fine beach and big buildings to ac.com-
inouaie pleasure seeKers. fwon we j
cross the bar a the tide is right, and j
are now between the big jetty and the
wash bank of the Columbia. We ate j
our first rncjd that stayed w ith us. Hy
this time wo near Astoi in which looked!
good to us. 1 lie city showed up I' ne.
We bad been nearly freezing on old
ocean ; here the air is soft and Imbny.
Vou will think funny they unioid d
lumber here from Marshlleld, It was
line, finished, white cedar.
On boar,! ship, all converse, jo!;e and
have a royal good time except those'
who have second-class tickets They :
have dens at one end of the ship, can't
come to the dining halls nor on any of
the decks. Though they cave f on tl e
ticket it looks like they stand a go. d
show to get ticks, bed bugs, or .
Passed the city of Astoria; can He
settlements on either side, many houses
little haiiiletb and siniill boats Pass, d
anot'ier boat that was al an.lom d ly
the owners and a crew got part of her
safe and they claim her value, which is
I nu.lerstaud about MI.OIR).
Along the shore are fish houses n
I osts every little ways, making o e
thick of claim shacks on the bro.m
prairie, except one Is o l the water, the
other on the land, then we see little
boats every little ways with only two or j
three in them, aud tl eie seems to be i s
many getting their living on the wai. r
as on the same amount of laud and '
manv, old and young, say they would
starve taken away from ti.e water front, j.
They keep hornet out In these house ,
miles from shoie, to pull In their tish
nets. Then boats can land with sup
plies or take aav Ash. Passed thrt-e
j men wadirg waist-deep and pulling in
tish nets with their teams, the water
well upon the horse sides. They were
pulling aa if well loaded.
All is so nearly alike will only men
tion a race with a boat we wsed in the
night. We overtook her, then both
spurted np would go neck and neek,
as it were, theu one gain a lit'le. They
were getting us too close shore so our
ship swung over, crossed the ether's
track and finally passed her. ' i
