Republican Candidate For Vice
President.

Charles Warner Fairbanks, nomin-
ated for the vice. presidency on the re.
publicen ticket, ten years ago was
hardly thought Of as a factor In pOlit-
ical life. In 1892 he was made chair
man Of the Indiana republican conve-
tion, and 1ne yer later received the
entire vote of his party iu the legis-
lature for the United States senator
ship. The vote, however, was not
large enough TO elect. Ia 1897 his
election came and scarcely seven years
after his. appearance in Indiana poll
tics was talked of for the highest hon
ors In the altt Of the people OF the
United States.
Senator Fairbanks is native Of
Oaic. having been born atUuionriIle

Gus engagements have been fought
with indifferent success on either
side and more or less severe losses
sustained. In an indecisive battle
at Vafangow, 90 miles north OF
Kinchou, June II and IS, the losses
amounted to about 1000 men on
each side. General Kuropatkin

the hostile masses numbering over
800, 600 were drawing together at
Haicheng, and that the great, de-
cisivc battle OF the war is there
pending. 1t was at Haicheng that

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
A Strong Platform Adopted
Amid Enthusiasm.
ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS,
Nominees Chosen by Acclamation.


The Republican national con-
vcntion at Chicago was in session
for three days, June Fl, 20 and 23.
The nominations and the adoption
of the platform were left until the
last day, when the pent up en-
thusiasm of the delegates was Civ
en- unbridlcd expression. There
were no differences. Harmony
reigned supreme. The candidates
for the vice presidential nomina-
tions were rivals only in a friendly
way and were actuated more by
the iusistence of their friends than
by personal ambition. Joseph g..
Cannon, speaker Of the House of
Representative was the choice Of
the party, but "Uncle joe, was
firm in his refusal to accept the
honor. The choice then fell upon
Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, a man OF the Harrison
school, capaolc as a statesman,
strong and popular, and seeing
that he had the majority, the other
candidates withdrew.
Elihu Root, who was made
permanent chairman, opened the
convention with ringing speech
in which he laid down the princi-
Piles Of republicanism and outlined
the policy Of the campaign.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon was chosen
permanent chairman amid pro-
longed cheering, and made one Of
the best speeches ever heard in
convention hall.
On the 23rd, when the conven-
ton got down to business, the
platform was adopted. 1t recites
the glorious achievements of a.
years, and the momentous work
accomplished by the last and
present administrations. On the
only great issues now before the
people it indorses the protective
tariff, the single gold standard, the
retention of the Philippines, the
speedy construction Of the Panama
canal, the restraining Of harmful
trusts, and protection Of the rights
of organized labor and organized
capital alike.
Ex-Governor Black of New York
had the honor OF nominating Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president.
Seconding speeches were made
and Roosevelt was declared the
nominee by unanimous consent,

SELECTING STATE !! lands.
Grazing Leases Bring Revenue
For Schools.
MORE LAND SALES.
Sale Will Take Place in Kootenai
County This Fall. -

Chief Clerk Norman Jackson OF the
state land. board, has returned to
Boise from Shoshonc county, where
he selected $3.50 acres Of timber and
agricultural lands for the state.
These lands form p.rtion OF the
government grant allotted to char.
table institutions uf the state. They
are located IN southern Shushone and
arc considered TO be very valuable.
or the 10000 acres set aside by
the federal government for the sup
port Of state institutions, there re-
mains to be selected G25O acres. The
minimum price at which these lands
can be sold is $40 an acre, but In
many localities this figure will be
greatly exceeded.
The department is becoming pos.
sesscd OF information regarding other
desirable lands that are eligible for
selection, especially in the southern
part of the state, where SO much Of
the best known lands have been with.
drawn for government irrigation pro-
jects. These withdrawn lands are
open to entry by homcsteaders, but
the state is denied the privilege OF
selecting them. \.
REVENUE FOR SCHOOLS.
The land department reports that
its June purchases of school district
bonds will run over 500, 900, and Of
state warrants $40, 900. The former
draw 5 per cent interest and the lat
ter Z per cent. "
1t is expected that tie July semi
annual apportionment of the common
school fund will run close to $50, 900,
compared to $4,000, the largest
previous semi-annual apportionment
i; to the common schools OF the state.
- GRAZING LEASES.
In spite of the fact that unusually
! good grass on the range and low
prices Of livestock have tendency TO
| curtai. the demand for grazing land.
new applications for leases are cons
tantly being received. There are but
few ranchers and stockmen in the
state VINO are not becoming Informed
regarding state lands. and the liberal
terms on which they are sold and
leased. by continuing the cam
paign of education that is now being
pushed there is no reason why in a
very few years all the lands belonging
to the state should not be bringing in
revenue for the support Of the schools
and state institutions. -
COMING LAND SALE.
The next sale Of school lands will
take place at St. Anthony June 30,
at which time several acres of choice
Fremont county land will be sold
