BY a vote Of l.o3S 10 $40 the con
vention placed upon the table the re.
quest Of William ] Bryan for tho res
ignation of Roger c. sullivan from the
national committee Despite the fact
that Mr.. Bryan had declared that he
did not wish To be indorg I'd unless
sullivan was repudiated the conven-
ton declared him to be the one and
only man capable of leading the Dem
ocratic party to victory in 1908
The Endorsement of Mr.. Bryan and
the tabling Of the motion calling for
the resignation of Mr.. Sullivan came
at the close of a most exciting ses-
sion of the convention, in which there
were several fights and throughout
which confusion reigned supreme The
committee on resolutions declined TO
report plank calling for the resigna-
| ton Of Sullivan and the debate follow
ed upon a motion made by Judge Owen
| Thompson of Jacksonville calling for
| Sullivan's resignation.
| Judge Thompson allowed his feel
| 1ngs to carry him somewhat to an
extreme and aroused the hostility of
| Sullivan's friends by the unsparng
manner in which he dwelt on the last
| Democratic conference at Springfield
He strobe up and down the platform
his face white with wrath and his
; form shaking with the intensity of his
| feeling. His caustic criticism finally
| lost him the ear of the convention. and
he might never have been able 10 con
clude his speech if Sullivan had not
personally requested quiet.
| Sullivan, who followed Thompson.
and who was the first speaker in his
own behalf declared that the ear of
| Mr. Bryan had been poisoned against
him, and that the demand for his res
ignation sprang from personal enc
mics He said in opening: "Yo,
have witnessed the spectacle On Thu
platform of an individual who cam
here to crafty his personal grudg,
and drag it into this convention. HI
came here to crafty his spleen. hatred
and malice"
You're a liar" came from the Du
page delegation.
Instantly a Sullivan delegate sprang
for the speaker and it took half d
dozen policemen to stop the fight Or
der was finally restored, and Mr.. Sui
Ivan finally concluded his address by
declaring that he wished to make no
| trouble, and if he was not wanted as
national committeeman the matter
could be adjusted two years from now.

denounces use of large campaign
| funds. declares recent congress sur

There is no necessity for that
company to operate a steamer on the
west end Of the route. If its promot-
ers were anxious to push matters
they could easily get one of the local
companies to handle the traffic from
the portage road to Portland. ,ore
are a number of available craft here
suitable for the business. It looks as
though they do not care whether they
get the through line established or
not, and are fiddling' around. not
knowing how to proceed. Shortly
the grain crop will be ready to move,
and they viii not be able to handle

Cattle Rustling i'm Idaho.

1t is reported that some cattle
thieves have been operating on the
mountain back of Keuterville recent
ly. Several head of cattle have been
missed by different persons and while
suspicious are had as to who the
guilty parties may be, it is impossible
as vet to locate the thievery definitely.
Deputy Sheriff Blackburn was in that
vicinity last week trying to get a
trace of the rustlers, but was unsuc-
cessful. \ blind camp was discovered
on the Greving place back of Reuter-
Vile, and as a close watch is being
maintained by the residents of that
section it is possible the guilty parties
may be apprehended soon or be fore

AS TO IRUIT INSPECTION.
Walla Walla Dispute of Interest to

Controversy between County Fruit
Inspector w. A. Ritz and grocery
houses handling fruit, the produce
men and the growers over an inter-
probation of the fruit inspection laws
brought the state horticultural COM
missioner, w. A. Huntly, to Walla
walla this morning to straighten out
the tangle, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
Matters reached point where
something had to be done and I sent
for Commissioner Huntly to come to
Walla Walla and meet with the grow
ers, produce men and representatives
of gorcery houses" said Inspector Rita
this morning.
"The proper inspection of fruit in
Walla Walla is a matter of vital i'm
portance and unless it is done in ac-
cordance with fhe existing laws I do
not feel like continuing the work as
fruit inspector. Infected fruit has got
to be weeded out in walla walla
county If we ever expect to grow mar
ketable fruit and the sooner present
conditions are changed the better II
will be for the growers as well as the
houses engaged in the business"

Captain E. w. Spencer, who is cer-

recent interview with the Portlan /

not exactly clear, but his animadvel =
sions are entertaining, just the same.
Captain Spencer said:
Il have the necessary machinery
for another boat above Cello, but
do not intend to build her. until l see
what the Open-River people intend
to do. A more appropriate name for
them would be the Closed River
Crowd. They have certainly made
originating above Cello. Money for
building steamer for the upper
river was raised several months ago,
but as yet the association has not be-
gun work on the hull of the boat. l
understand that a contract has been
let for building the machinery, but
apparently that is about as far along
as the venture has progressed.
Recently have heard it said that
the members of the association intend
to have hull for new steamer built
at Portland, which would indicate
that the vessel with be put in service
at this end Of the line. If that is
done, I shall begin preparations at
once for operating a steamer on the
upper rivers. And If l do, the ven-
ture will be helped along by the ship
pers of the upper country, because
they are becoming weary of the dila-
tory tactics pursued by the Open

The cultivation of non-irrlgated
and non-irrigable lands in Utah, as
demonstrated by the state expert
mental stations, received an investi-
CATION this week by C. S. Schofield of
the national bureau of plant industry,
operated under the United States de-
partment of agriculture, says the Salt
Lake Telegram.
Upon returning from the trip
which he made to the Sewer county
farm near Plateau and the farm Vn
San Juan county near Monticello, Mr..
Schofield praised the work which the
state has done, and also explained
that while results have been satisfac-
tory to a certain degree he cautioned
the public against over-enthusiasm
regarding the theory I. dry farm
ing"
He explained that there is a ten
dency to overestimate the possibility
of tilling these lands, which possibili-
ty has been suggested by the excessive
rainfall during recent years, but
which cannot be depended on, accord
ing to records as far back as the same
extend regarding the precipitation in
the arid regions.
at is the sheerest nonsense" fur
ther said Mr.. Schofield, ''to assume
that the cultivation of land pre-
viously barren and unproductive will
bring about a change in meteorolog-
| ical conditions to the extent of in
creasing the precipitation average an
nually."
"The state of Utah is proving the
merits of dry farming. 1t is the pio'
neer in the matter of experimental
farms and is doing excellent work
Utah has six of these farms, and
have been visiting two of them in thu
southern part of the commonwealth
in company with DR.. Yoder, in charg
of the station at Logan. I find tina
great progress has been made il
working out methods of growing crop
profitably on the lands that have here
to fore been regarded as practicall
useless for agriculture.
1T is true that while during tn
past three years these lands have ha
rather more than their averag
amount of rainfall, there is reasona
BILE hope that, with the best method
of tillage that are now being worke,
out, these lands may be made to yiel
profitable crops-at least supplement
!, tai to the small irrigated areas tina
occur everywhere throughout tn
; state"
Then Mr.. Schofield added the warn
ing against too much dependence be
ing placed on the theory of the rain
fall excesses which have been en-
joyed recurring with any degree @
annual regularity.
He will go next to Nevada, wher
similar observations will be made G

IDAHO RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS RAISED

From the Boise Statesman is taken
the following review of the work of
the Idaho state board of equalization
i'm relation to the railroads of the
state:
The state board of equalization has
gone over the railroad question care
fully and although the railroads rep
reesntatives have appeared for the
purpose of petitioning the board not
to raise the rates from those of last
year, the board has seen fit to raise
the rates in the cases of those roads
given in The above table.
The board has now carefully gone
over all the reports of railroads in
Idaho but in several cases no decis-
ions have vet been reached. In the
cases of most of the small roads and
branch lines it has been decided not
to increase the rates from those of
last year as far as mileage rates are
concerned. on the following lists of
roads there will be no change in the
rates per mile. The mileage for 1906
and the rate for 1905, which will pre-
vail this year, are given for each
road:
