IWmEKWFSWr TAFT IS NOMINATED Roll of States Colled by Mega phone AnW Uproar. ROOSEVELT STAMPEDE A FAILURE Nominating Speech Made by Senator Burton Taft'a Name Starti Whirlwind of Enthusiasm. Chicago, June 19. For president of the United Statss, William II. Taft, of Ohio. Taft on tho flrt ballot. Taft by 702 votes. Taft br the unanimous choice of tho convention. Such is the record of tho culminating day of tho llcpublican national conven tion of IOCS, effected amid scene of tu multuous enthusiasm, and after a nerve racking continuous session lasting near ly eight hours. With tho president named and the platform enunciated, there remains only the nomination for vice-president to complete the momen tous work. Last night the wholo city was given over to wild exultation in honor of tho new candidate, who-tt name goes echoing through the country. The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the prcsidentlil candidato was named was one truly grand in its magnitude. In front, to tbo right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of humanity, restless after hours of waiting and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectancy for the culminating vote. The favorite sons' of other states had been named, save Knox and La Kollcttc, and now on the rollcall came Ohio. As tho Huekcyc state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore K. liurton, with student-like faeo and se vere black, clerical garb, advanced to tho platform to nominate Ohio's candi date. He spoko fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great building. The elose of his speech of nomination was tho signal for the long pent up feeling of tho Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts in gallery and on tloor broko into a mad demonstration. "Taft, Taft, W. 11. Taft," came In a roar from tho Obioans. Megaphones seemed to spring from concealed places and swell the Taft tumult into thunder. A huge, blue silk banner bearing tho familiar features of the statesman-secretary was swung before the delegates, awakening a fresh whirlwind of en thusiasm. AH semblance of order had been abandoned, and the delegates were n maelstrom of gesticulating men. The guidons of the states wero snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne undor by the storm of disorder. The band was inaudible a mere whisper above the deafening volume of sound. For 10. 15. yes SO minutes this uproar was continued. It was a repetition oft me seene oi ncunvsuay, wucu iuc uaiua of Itoosevelt brought the convention into a frenzy. Hut there is a limit to the physical resources of throat and lung, relays had not been established and at last tho tired voices died down to a hoarse shout and subsided. This lull now gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nomina tion by George A. Knight, of Cali fornia, bis big, round faco beaming forth on the sympathetic multitudo and Ms splendid baritone voice going forth like the tones of a great chureh organ. California's tribute to Taft was brief nnd fervid. Now there was andtber lull in the Taft movement, white tho remaining candidates were placed in nomination. The secretary was powerless to make Ms eall of states beard abovo the deaf ening elamor. Seizing a megaphone, he shouted the roll of states: "Alabama," "Arkansas," but his volco was swal lowed up in tbo mad uproar. Gradu ally, however, the curiosity of the .mul titude conquered its enthusiasm and It lapsed into silence to hear the result of the call. A hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty summaries showed that Taft was far In advance. When New York was reached the Taft column totaled 47. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or SO more than enough to nomi nate. HUH the call went on until the final result was announced by Chair man Lodgo: "For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes; for Joseph II. Foraker, of Ohio, 10 votes; for Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph O. Can non, of Illinois, 58 votes; for Robert La Follette, of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles K. Hughes, of New York, 67 votes; for Philander C. Knox, of I'enn ylvania, 08 votes, and for William II. Taft, of Ohio, 702 votes." Prohibit Tips and Cause Strike. Cherbourg, Juno 10.

New York Congressman Nominated for Vlco President. Chicago, June 20. Taft and Slier man. Tins is the ticket of the Re publican party, completed yesterday as the Republican national couven tion concluded with the nomination of James S. Sherman, of New York, for vice-president, amid a final roar of tumultuous demonstration. Again the vast assembly was swept with wave on wave of wild, exultant clamor, as the multitude, realising that at last the work was done and the record made upon which the Rcpub lican party goes "before the country, united in one last, mighty outburst of enthusiastic tribute to the men who will bear forward the standard in the struggle now at hand. Another inspiring picture was pre sented yesterday as the convention named its candidate for ucc-proi-ilent The enormous throng had waited through an liour of oratory, sweltering in the heat-laden atmos phere, packed, as before, into solid masses of humanity, with only here and there a few vacant spots in the re mote gallery the delegates in the broad arena below, the bright-luted lilies of femininity in the circling gal leries, and over all the en eloping folds of Old Glory. From the outset it was distinctly a Sherman crowd, with galleries al ready trained into choruses of Sher man songs and an invading host of Sherman marchers starting the echoes ringing with a huge portrait of the New York candidate Among the early arrivals on the floor was Speaker Cannon, only yesterday a candidate for president, but today here and a pillar of strength in the Sherman movement. The widespread affection for the old wartiorsc of the party was also shown by the crowds of delegates purging about him to grasp his hand ami bid him welcome The preliminaries were brief, and at 10 30 the nominating speeches for vice-president began, with a limit of ten minutes to each speaker On the call of states, Delaware yielded to New York, and cx-Lieutcnant Gov ernor Timothy L. Woodruff mounted the platform for a glowing speech placing in nomination Sherman a New York's choice for the vice-presidency Now- came a surprise, as the venerable Cannon, with his Lincoln like visage and shaggy heard, emerged from the Illinois delegation, and. stepping to the platform, was yielded unanimous consent to second the nomination of Sherman Such a picture of sturdy, homely, plain American citizenship as Cannon appeared, as he advanced before the throng, which .rose to do him hom age, has seldom been seen before a national convention. His face was beaded with sweat, his collar had melted to a rag. which hung limp about his neck. His vest was thrown wide open, exposing a crumpled shirt, and the sleeves of his black alpaca coat curled up about his dangling cuffs to his elbows as his waving arms emphasized, his ringing words for his colleague and friend, James S. Sherman, of New York. From the outbursts of enthusiasm which greeted every mention of Sher man's name it was plain that the mind of the convention had been made up and that the decision was only to be recorded. Now began the vote, taken amid confusion at first, which increased as the totals climbed upward to the nominating point. The result was never in doubt, as the totals of states were heaped one upon another. There were scattering votes, but the great body of delegates swelled the total of Sherman until it touched SM. With keen appreciation of the effect of ell max. Chairman Lodge announced ik result, reserving Sherman's huge total until the last: "Vice-President Fairbanks gets one vote; Governor Sheldon, of Nebraska. 10 votes; Governor Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts, 76; Governor Murphy, of New Jersey. 77 votes, ami James S. Sherman, of New York. 818 votes " After this the floodgates of wild en thusiasm were let loose, as floor and gallery joined in a pandemonium of demonstration for the nominee "Taft Is American Dauphin." London, June 20. Most of the morning newspapers and the weeklies which came out today printed edi torials on President Roosevelt's tri umph in securing the nominatlun nf Secretary of War Taft for the presi dency. The Daily Chronicle says "To save the life of his policies, he loses his life as president It is an interesting phenomenon." The Daily Graphic describes Mr. Taft as an "American dauphin," adding: "There is something Napoleonic about this creation of new dynastic legitimacy under the Stars audStripcs."

Dr. Hawley found one stump, estimated to contain four cords, including the root, wuteh lie salil would contain at least $15 worth nf turpentine. Other stumps and roots in the same neighlMirhood would develop in proortien. The .intern used in pru dueing this turH-ntinc is a very simple one, but to be wed to advantage there must lx sufllcient stumps in a vicinity to warrant the establishment of m plant as it would not be profitable to bring tho stumt and roots to a central plant. Dr. Hawley will receive from tho Wal luski in a few day samples of stumps ami roots with which he will make careful tests at his laboratory at the Clatsop mill.

That arte sian water is obtoinablo has been proved by numerous (lowing wells iu nl mo-it every trt of tho valley. One was urineo iasi year inr iae u. n. & N.

Another has recently been finished on the hillside west of town, where the surface of the ground is at least 100 feet altove the prin eiiwt business awl residence section of the town as It Is now built, and In winch the water lacks but two feet ef rising to the surface. These and many other examples have caused the Hwple to nope that a supply or pure water, at least for domestic needs, may be obtained at considerably less expense man ty bringing it irom the moun tains.

TOMATOES PAY WELL. Grants Pass Farmers Double Their Acreage. Grants Pass The tomato industry of Rogue River valley has made rapid strides, particularly since the ecctPMi of the cannery last year, and the smalt farmer ami berry raiser have found it profitable to set out idle laud with the young plants This year's acreage will be double that of last year, and it is anticipated that it will increase iu like manner for several years, for the reason the can nery has a capacity to take all the growers can produce for the next five rars; in fad, it is understood that the company will contract to that effect The plants do well here when planted in rows five and U feci apart, and plintcd in this manner they will usually produce from tn to lit tons an acre, and find ready mar ket at tio a ton for canning purposes The necessary expenses for harvest ing and marketing arc JJJ an acre The tomato plant, if properly culti vated, will grow from fosir to five feet high, and cover a proportionate space Visitors who have lixiked over the field where the matured plant are laden with fruit, have reinarkrd that they looked . more like trees than vines. During the picking season which opens in August ami extends through November, men, women and children are employed to harvest the crop Owing to the soil and rank growth of the plant, many find it ueeessar) to prune the vines after they have bloomed, so as to divert the energy of the tree into the fruit instead id vine and foliage All raisers use racks. This keeps the fruit clean, holding the vine off the ground and preventing rot. It is estimated that tSMM can Ik realized as a net profit upon each acre. Cherries by the Ton.
