Denver, Col, June 30.-With the
arrival tomorrow of Alton Parker, the
conservative of conservatives, backed
by big eastern contingent, war on
the radicals in the convention will be
on.
Every prospect points to an old
time democratic fight to a finish and
the prospect seems to be pleasing to
the leaders. The main battle will be
centered around the anti-injunction
planks and Parker, as judge and law
yer, will oppose every step that may
be construed as an "an attack on the
courts"
The conservatives plan to make a
hot campaign all along the line, and
even talk about beating Bryan for the
nomination, which appears impossi-
BILE.
The managers of Judge Grays
boom will open headquarters tomor-
row. He is the favorite of the con-
servative element.
The main body of the Johnson sup
porters is expected to arrive tonight.
The Bryan men still declare they
will control the formation of the plat
form and that it will be the kind of 4
platform Bryan wants. The Bryanites
announced today they were not in the
least frightened at the claims of Judge
Gray's friends that he will be a fac
tor in the convention and declare
Grays only possible hope is for Sec
ond place. Arrangements are already
made for notifying Bryan of his NOM
ination at his Fairview farm.
The Mormon issue will be brought
before the national committee by
Idaho Monday when the committee
takes up the contests for seats. There
are six Idaho contests.
1t is understood fraud will be al
legged in connection with the election
os delegates.
The other contests will follow:
Illinois, 20; New York, IL; Pennsyl-
vania, Z. There will be six from the
District of Columbia.

gravitation and is now flowing about
the streets.

there is a slight sulphur odor and
taste in the liquid,
The well has been declared finished
and the driler has moved elsewhere.
Already there are plans on foot for
curbing the stream and turning the

BIC ORCHARD ON THE HEAD Of M'KAY

That an apple orchard will pay well
on the headwaters of Mckay creek
in the foothills Of the Blue mountains,
is the belief of Charles Schumann, a
pioneer of Upper Mckay cheek, who
has just set out three acres OF choice
winter apple trees and who will con-
tinue each year until he has an or
chard of 10 acres or about 1900
choice trees on his ranch.
From the small, orchard Of winter
apples now growing on Mr.. Schu-
mann's place % miles southeast from
Pendleton, Mr.. Schuman netted about
81 per tree last year and he figures
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-30

that If 100 trees we'll cared for and
properly cultivated will yield this
amount that 1900 of the same varie-
ties with similar care and cultivation
would yield an equally satisfactory in
come.
Mr.. Schumann's land is black, wash
loan on the bottom mckay creek
and on the foothills and is free from
frost, does not require irrigation and
is an ideal district. He expects to de-
vote all Of his time to apple growing
within a few years. He exhibited
some fine specimens at the district
fair in this city last fall and will make
a still larger exhibit this year.

ternoon thetime OF the court is taken
with another suit.

elsewhere in prohibition territory.

county on the same grounds as were
used as the basis for the suit in Una
tilla county, to-wit: That the elec-
tion notices had not been legally post
ed, that the clerk had not made pro-
per record and that the county court
had not made the order for the pro-
hibiton vote while in egular session.
on the showing made by the saloons
OF Union county Judge Crawford
granted the temporary injunction but
upon the case being brought to trial
1t was dismissed and the prohibition
vote OF Union county stands.
