THE GOLDEN JUBILEE.
The Pioneers' Annual Reunion a Brillian
Succeaa

The Pioneers' Annual Reunion Brilliant
Success.
The pioneers of Oregon may we'll be
proud of their golden jubilee. Never
in the history of the Oregon associa-
tton has there ever been Witnessed a
demonstration such as was presented
Tuesday to the citizens of Portland.
IL proved historic occasion, and it
will not alone be remembered by the
active participants in the ceremonial,
but it will also leave an.impression on
the minds of the thousands of specta-
tors, not soon to be effaced.
The Hotel Portland was designated
as headquarters for all who intended
to take part in the procession, and
scarcely had the noon hour passed be-
fore the pioneers, men and women,
commenced to assemble, each wearing
a yellow silk badge, with the year OF
his or her arrival in Oregon plainly
designated thereon. General William
Kapus was grand marshal of the day,
and was kept busy arranging the de-
tails of the parade before the order of
m arch was given.
A great feature of the procession
was the appearance of fully 2500 school
children in line, each pupil carrying
small American flag. The children
made an excellent showing, and, as
they marched with the greatest pre-.
cision. each school under the SUPER
vision-of the principal, and headed by
the class drummers, they ELECTED ap-
plause from the thousands of specta.
tors.
The school children headed the long
procession, and Immediately following
them were the grandchildren and great
grandchildren of pioneers. Each of
these little ones carried a basket of
flowers, which they strew, right and
left, on the asphalt paveme Mt in such
profusion that the pioneers who fol.
lowed them literally walked on roses.
The immense auditorium of the Ex-
position building had been tastefully
decorated with evergreens and lowers,
the principal feature being an i'm
mense bank In front of the stage. on
which was woven in large letters, made

THE CONVENTION CLOSED.
The Platform Was Adopted and Ncmina.
tions Made During the Afternoon

| session.
All eyes haye been turned toward
st. Louis since Tuesday morning, aux.
ious to learn the result of the delibera.
tions of the republicans in national
convention. After three days of delib-
GRAFTON that body has done its work
and fually adjourned. Whether the
work shall be satisfactory to the
masses, who comprise the voters CT the
nation, cannot be determined until the
Novembe election.
The greatest controversy that con-
fronted the delegates was to determine
upon the financial plank OF the plat
form. After that was accomplished,
the remainder of the platform, which
is given in full elsewhere in this issue,
was adopted without division. The
vote on the financial plank was 1924
for and ll04 against, the 1l03 votes
cast in the negative representing the
pronounced free coinage vote in the
convention.
When the platform had been adopted,
nominations for president we're as fol-
lows: Baldwin presented the name of
Allison, Lodge nominated Reed, De-
pew submitted the claims of Morton,
and Foraker presenter the name of
Mckinley. But one ballot was re-
quired to determine the choice of the
convention. The vote was, Mckinley,
66l1; Reed S344; Morton 553; Quay Sit
Allison, 551.
For the Office of vice-president, Gar
rett A. Hobart, of New Jersey, and H.
Clay Evans, CT Tennessee, were the
two principal contestants. The vote,
on roll call, resulted; Hobart. 533!;
Evans, 2s0a, while the other II votes
were divided among seven different
favorite sons. Gov. Morton's name
was not placed before the the conven-
tion for the second place on the ticket,
and the vote of New York went solidly
for Hobart.
One of the most dramatic features of
the afternoon session was enacted
when Senator Teller. after having
made plea for sill, er, led the Colo
RADIO delegation out of the convention
hall, followed by SO other free coinage
delegates.
The nominations were hailed with
enthusiasm, and after the
customary resolutions of thanks haf
been adopted, motion to adjourn pre-
tailed,

A Boy Rescued.

Tuesday Louie Keller, lad Of
some ten summers, was navigating the
waters of Mill creek south of the rail-
road bridge on log, when his craft
became unmanageable and he tumbled
headlong into the stream Being un-
able to swim, he foundered around in
the water some time, and would have
gone to the bottom had it not been
for the timely arrival of Arthur Ken
nedy who waded in and rescued the
young navigator. The lad Was almost
drowned when Mr.. Kennedy reached
him, and would no doubt haye perished
in the water had not assistance come
to his relief.

A number of boats began fishing
near Astoria yesterday, and were not
molested by the strikes.
Silver men in the ST. Louis conven-

The river readings today are: Una

34.9, rise of 0-l0; Lewiston, 21.4, rise

Winans Bros. have leased the little
steamer that was recently brought
down from Lewiston, and instead of
having it shoot the rapids will take it
out of the water and haul it around the
falls on wagons.

The Dalles are drawing on this place
for their supply of chopped feed.
Large shipments of chopped wheat,
barley and oats are made daily to
points as far West as Cascade Locks
The next time, perhaps, the canners-
men of the Lower Columbia will not
rush to the legislature in the interest
of wheels and fish traps. They can
now see what hole the wheel lords
have put them into Astoria Budget.
Yesterday the striking fishermen at
Astoria presented Col. Sommers with
d large salmon, announcing that they
would supply the soldiers with all the
fish they could eat free of charge, but
the cannerymen could not have any
for less than five Ger Is a pound.
Reports concerning the river are
beginning to be alarming. Today Mr..
Brooks received a telegram from B. s.
Pague. stating that rise of 10 feet
may be expected at The Dalles, and a
continual rise is probable until the
maximum (51.3 feet, the register made
in 1856 is reached.
All is not comfort or pleasure in
this Office right now. There is one
foot of water in the basement already,
and the weather bureau promises to
furnish ten feet more. Ii this promise
is fulfilled the com positors will provide

having been retarded by the continued
cool weather during May, the weeds

morning. From The account these

little wonder the delegates refused to
select that city as the next meeting
place.

The Teuderfoot's Dog.

One day as we lay in camp on the Re-
publican fork Of the Arkansas river one
of the boys caught a big jack rabbit in
a snare and made a cage Of willows to
keep him for a pet. Three days later a
tenderfoot anne along with a hunters
outfit and accompanied by Il canine
which looked to be "a cross between a
hound and Il bulldog. He said he had
bought the dog the day before of a
teamster, and that the animal was guar
anteed IA match for any three mountain
wolves.
"What dye think of him yourself?"
asked the corporal.
He looks TO mo like a fighter, was
the reply.
How much did you pay for him."
Fifteen dollars.
Il don't think he's a fighter" OBJ
served the corporal in a careless way.
He looks to me more like a runner"
Have you anything around hel,
which can run him. asked the tender
foot as he bristled up.
Eyes, l think | have. We captured a
hodog the other day, and think he can
1ah thSU bpS-
whats a hodOg?'
Sort of a prairie wolf. There isn't
much fight i'll 'eln, but there's less in
your canine. III bet IS he runs your
dog out of sight"
eff he does, I'll give you $l0!"
shouted the stranger, who was nettled
over the way the boys were winking and
grinning.
The dog was placed out on the level
beyond camp, and the corporal went aft
er his rabbit. Before bringing him out he
tied his ears over his head with a strip
torn from a red handkerchief, and other
strips were made fast to his body. He
was the oldest looking creature any one
ever saw outside of a museum when the
corporal finally dumped him ont in front
of the dog. We were gathered in two
lines, and the rabbit had to run for the
dog to get clear of us. The dog was ap-
parentiy ready for a row with one of his
own species, but when that living curl
osity came for him, he dropped his tail
and started off at full speed. The lack
probably took him for an old BARD of
his, for he followed close at his heels
and bumped him for all he was worth.
The dog made two complete circuits of
the camp, yelping at every jump, and
then finding the rabbit close at his heels

took it,, calmly observed a man oppo-

Certainly. 1t was a minute or so
before the train came up"
But you didn't say anything"

But what sort of a man are you to

got a share of the proceeds"
Perhaps you're an asst! I've lived
here long enough to know g thing or two.
If I'd given the alarm, the fellow would
have been arrested right there. My name
would have been taken as a witness, pub
lished i'll the papers, and I should have
had no end of trouble going to court. /
might even have been sent to the house
of detention until the case was called"
And you-you saw the man roh.me?"
Eyes, SIR"
"And said nothing?"
"And said nothing. A man of your
age ought to be able to take care of his
watch. I've been knocking around New
York in all sorts Of crowds for the last
10 years, but no pickpocket aver got''-
