Republican National Assembly Meets
With Great Enthusiasm.
Hood River Strawberries Perish for
Want of Water.
Chicago, June 17.—Amid scenes of
stirring enthusiasm, the Republican
convention of 1908 began its aelibera-
tions at noon yesterday in the presence
of an assemblage estimated at more
than 14,000 people, with the sounds of
patriotic airs alternating with frenzied
shouts for Roosevelt, T aft and the other
popular heroes, the first tocsin of the
coining struggle from the graceful ora
tor of Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar
Burrows, and the initial formalities
which started this momentous gather
ing into motion. The opening session
lasted less than two hours, and was
less notable for the business accom
plished than for the opportunity it af
forded of seeing again this stirring
picture of the people assembled from
every corner of the country to select
a candidate for president of the United
States. The actual work of the day
was quickly accomplished and at night
the various im portant committees on
credentials, platform, organization, etc.,
were preparing for the more im portant
business to come.

Salem.—At a m eeting of the build
ing com m ittee of the state fair board
the contract was let for enlargem ent
of the grandstand at the fair grounds
so that it will accom m odate an at
tendance of 6,000 people. M cFarlane,
D enison & M cLaren, Salem con
tractors, were awarded the contract
for $3,900
From the reports that have been
received the state fair this year will
be one of the grandest in the history
of the state. Nearly every county has
signified its intention to be on hand
with a large exhibit next fall.
T he board has already concluded to
move the adm inistration offices to an
other Location to make room for addi
tional county exhibits, and the build
ing com m ittee is seriously contem
plating the necessity of putting up
new structures. Besides the rem odel
ing of the grandstand, a new entrance
will be constructed before the fair
opens. The m em bers of the building
com m ittee who were in session are
W. F. M atlock, Frank Lee and F. W.
W elch. Mike W isdom was also in
Salem with the com m ittee inspecting
the grounds.
The organization of the Portland
Country club and Livestock associa
tion has been a great factor in bring
ing better horses to the west this year
and will continue to be so in future
years. It is therefore expected that
the racing feature at the fair this
year will be much stronger than in
form er years. T he large purses hung
at Portland will attract many driv
ers and breeders who have never be
fore visited the Pacific Coast. The
tw o fairs, com ing one following the
other, will enable both to get the full
benefit of the exhibitions, which will
be the best ever seen on the coast.
Newport__Lincoln county marks an
other step forward by providing a high
school for the young men and women
who have just graduated from the com
mon schools. The county court has
issued an order giving both Newport
and Toledo money to establish high
school courses immediately, though the
question as to where tno school will
eventually be located was left to popu
lar vote two years hence.
Events have been coming thick and
fast the past two months on Yaquina
bay. The organization of a commer
cial club was almost instantly followed
by a vote to establish a high school,
and at the same time a large influx of
capital caused large changes of hold
ings of property and promoted building
in Newport till now some $20,000 of
new* buildings are unde'- way.
Hood River, Or., June 16__Giant
powder was successfully used Saturday
night in an effort to cause the growers
composing the Farm ers’ Irrigating
Company the loss of a large portion of
their strawberry crop. Disgruntled
laborers are suspected.
About 150 feet of flume on a hill
side on the west side of Hood River
was destroyed, and the water in the
big irrigating ditch is shut off. As a
result, the crop of two-thirds of the
valley, about 400 acres, is without wa
ter until such time as the flume can
be repaired, which will take at the
least estimate three or four days.
t The growers stand to lose at least
10,000 crates of berries, worth $30,000,
and if the flume cannot be repaired
before Wednesday, the loss will be far
greater. The damage to the ditch will
not amount to more than $500.
The point where the ditch was de
stroyed is high on a hillside. The
members of the company state that
it must have taken considerable work
and three or four boxes of powder to
product such disastrous results. This
is the ditch from which all of the wa
ter is taken to irrigate the big straw
berry crop on the west side of the
valley.
Although 25 men were hurried to
the scene of the trouble as soon as it
was known today, it is estimated that
it will take three days, working day
and night, to repair the damage.
The Hood River berry season is now
at its height, and no water to sustain
the plants and ripen the berries dur
ing the present warm weather will cut
down the yield to almost nothing. For
the past few days from five to seven
ears of berries have been shipped
daily.
An investigation started this after
noon by M. H. Nickelsen, secretary,
and A. C. Staten, manager of the com
pany, in an effort to determine if pos
sible who the ditch destroyers were,
developed the fact that the noise of
the shots was heard two miles away
from the spot where the explosion took
place, and that it occurred about 11
o ’clock. Beyoad this, nothing is defi
nitely known.
It is said, however, that the officers
of the company have under suspicion
several men whom they had in their
employ last year, and to whom they
refused to give work this summer.
