In order to' expedite matters, it was moved; that the County Central Com mittees, after their conventions, should certify to the secretary of the commit tee, CJ B. Winn, at Albany, the list of delegates that the list might be pre sented to the convention and thus save the time of examining credentials.. If the convention desires to take other action, it can overthrow the work of this special committee. The secretary was also Instructed to confer with the railroad companies In regard to reduced rates. Adjournment was then taken. Hon. E. .P. McCornack returned to Salem on the local last evening, and) In commenting upon the meeting re- marked that he had. gone to Portland with ja determination of securing the convention for Salem, and with very good prospects of doing so. but Chair man. Harris, ' with six proxies and a vote; had too much of an advantage and.' although he did his best to over come It, he was unsuccessful. When the convention was opened Judge Ryan, from Oregon City, the right bower of Hon. George C. Brown ell, protested against holding primaries and t convention, and insisted on the nomination of a successor to the late Thomas II. Tongue being made by the committee, but after a lengthy debate, his motion to that effect was defeated, and the committee proceeded with the work of arranging for the convention. The matter of setting dates for the primaries and county conventions was left entirely in the hands of the county central committees of the several coun ties, meetings of which will be called at once, and it is presumed that the conventions ; will be held about Satur day.

At a, well attended meeting of the dairymen and "representatives of cheese and but ter factories, at the city hall yesterday, a dairyman's board of trade was organ teed and the following gentlemen were elected a beard of directors? Charles Ray, Oak Nolan, Henry Rodgers - and Henry Kunxev The charter - roll was signed by the Cloverdale factory, the Rlyerdale factory. Rodgers" factory ana the Kunze factory. The objects of the organisation are the fostering, promot ing? ; and eneouragingp the .dairy Jn.- J dustry of Tillamook county;; for the mu tual benefit of Its members-; to encour age the production of pure milk; to bet ter facilitate the finding of a teady mctrket and to obtain the highest cash nt Ice for their paxlucts; to lessen the cost of manufacture of milk Into cheese and butter, and to bring; the rancher and manufacturer Into closer relation ship. ' ; , i " I I : was expected tha t more factories would sign the chater roll, but through personal spite and Ignorance of the cb Jects and purposes of the organization they have not yet signed. It is expect ed. however, that many i more cheesa factories and creameries will become members of the board in; the near fu ture. " The advantages of such an organiza tion are many, such as the purchasing of dairy supplies in large quantities and at .wholesale prices; keeping the product of 'each factory uo to a certain stand- ar(i; keeping the product at a uniform prCe among the factories, and having tne secretary work done by one man. while heretofore it has required a sec retary fo each factory. From every standpoint the Tillamook Dairyman's Board of Trade is an assured success. j Smith's Dandruff Paiyiais. stops Itching scalp- upou application; thre to six removes all dandruff and will stop falling hair.

Representatives to make fhe treaty, effective. With the adoption of this amendment the Democrats, as b body, will probably cease opposition to the Cubah Treaty, but some of them, fhe sugar inter-eels of whose states are affected by the treaty will continue to oppose it. The Republican Side of the Senate will vote soiidly for the treaty and It is now generally believed that it will be ratified after action on the Panama Canal Treaty.
