NEWSBOYS SEE
CARNIVAL

ooh, you carnival" Some
class, eh." Great" "Fine!"
These were some of the express
sions that the newsboys gave
forth after witnessing the shows
at the Parker Carnival. whose
guests they were last night, and
they should know, for the news
boys are alwas good judges of
shows.
Promptly at Z o'clock last night
their parade formed at Howard
and Riverside, headed by the
Parker band and the NJ. w A.
drill team, and marched in perfect
line to the carnival grounds where
they made the air shrill with their
meritorious yells. The boys have
nothing but praise for the Parker
Carnival company.
At $50 the ladies' drill team of
the Royal Neighbors gave an ex-
hibition on the Midway, which
proved to be something extraor-
binary, as the drill team of the
Royal Neighbors are considered to
be one of the best lady drill teams
in eastern Washington
Although rain threatened the
crowds at the carnival last night
they remained till a late hour, as
the variety of shows exhibited at
the grounds is enough to entertain
a large crowd for a full evening.
The animal show opened last
evening and showed to large
crowds, as we'll as the other amuse-
ments that were thrown open to
the public last night.

THE HILL INTERESTS
CONTINUE OLD WAR

(By United Press Leased Wire)
PORTLAND, Ore, May 5.-That
the Hill interests are preparing to
carry on the old war with the Harri-
man lines by invading central and
western Oregon by branch extern
sions is the general opinion among
railroad men here today, following
J. J. Hills speech at a private ban
quet last night at the Hotel Port
land
During his address Hill took
pains to point out that it was his
intention to build further into the
Willamette valley, which is at pres
ent Southern Pacific territory.
Speaking in regard to the Des-
chutes situation, Hill made only a
brief allusion. Central Oregon can
take care of itself now" he said.

PERM|TSF0R
STANTON CO.

Two building permits, for a total
value Of $4,000. were issued by the
board Of public works this morning
to e. H. Stanton & Co., the packers,
covering two of the new buildings
being erected by this company at
its packing plant, in the eastern
part Of the city.
An old, black SLOUGH hat and gray
coat and vest, the pockets of
which contained a number of cheap
cigars and a burglars drill, were
found in the door yard in front
of q residence at 101 Second ave-
nue. early this morning. 1t is
thought that they were left by
some thief, after he had replenish-
ed his wardrobe with some stolen
clothes. The drill found in the
coat pocket is attracting much at
tention among police officers.

DON'T WANT ANY
PRATT COMMITTEES

The statement that the Grand
Army was in favor of having Mayor
Pratt appoint another investigating
committee to inquire into the FL
lott case is misleading. 1t placed
in the right light before the public
facts in this case which the mayors
former investigating committee
should have inquired into and laid
bare but it did not do so.
The Grand Army is not seeking
any more investigating committees
to be appointed by Mayor Pratt.
The Elliott case has twice been in
vestigated by John Sullivan, chief
of police, and once by a committee
picked by Sullivan and the mayor.
hence the veterans think there has
been about enough investigating
from that source.

NEARLY
KILLS MAN

With blood flowing from his nose,
mouth and ears, and groaning in
agony from his injuries, Walter
Cadogan, apparently mechanic,
was found on the rocky bank of
the river near the Pacific Towel
Co.'S establishment on East Main
avenue, near Sheridan street this
morning. He had been drinking
and is believed to have staggered
off among the rocks and fallen.
sustaining his injuries from the ef-
fects of drink.
When found, he was perilously
balanced near the brink of the pre-
cipitous side of the river bank,
where, had he turned, he would
have fallen many feet down to
shelving rocks and from there
bounded into the river. He was
neatly dressed and seemed not to
have been the victim Of holdup.

ROOSEVELT TO SECURE
POLITICAL SOUNDINGS
Garfield and Wade Ellis to Chart
Troubled Sea

OYSTER BAY. n. Y, July 2S.-Before
Theodore Roosevelt launches out again
on the troubled sea of national politics
he will sean the chart with those of
his friends who already have tested
the temper of the storm.
The colonefs reticence of last night
continued today. He repeated that he
was unwilling to comment on the ac-
ton of the Ohio convention until he
had received reports from men who
were on the ground, but he added who
these men will be. They are James f.
Garfield and Wade H. Ellis, chairman
of the Ohio republican committee.
Ellis, it is thought, will ask Roose-
welt to stump Ohio for the ticket NOM
mated yesterday. The colonel has
agreed to speak in Cincinnati Septem-
ber 8, but 1t is unlikely that he will
venture on state issues then.
Clifford Pinchot, now en- route for
New York will bring back word of
how the west feels toward conserva-
ton. The colonel inquired today with
considerable interest when Pinchot was
due to return.

Lind NOMINATED
DESPITE REFUSAL
Minnesota Democrats Disregard
Governors Wishes After
Stormy Convention

MINNEAPOLIS, July 2s.-Democratic
the democratic state convention met
here today, were torn to shreds by the
tempest of feeling which was let loose
late this afternoon over the nomination
of John Lind for governor and the
attempt to introduce direct resolu-
county option.
For more than three hours. up TO
the very minute when the motion to
adjourn was carried, there was no let
up to the scene of disorder, except for
a few moments when the chairman
made himself heard after terrific
pounding with piece of 2x4 scantling,
which he used as gavel.
The ticket named is:
Governor. John Lind of Minneapolis; secretary
of state, Fred w. Johnson of New Ulm; clerk
of the supreme court, Fred e. Wheaton Mime.
,apolis; attorney general, j. NJ. Freeman OF
DIVA; state treasurer Charles f. Lander OF ST.
James c. Tracy of Rochester; state auditor, T.
j. Meaghan of Albert Lea; justice of the SUI
preme court. t. j. oBrien of St Paul, A W.
Snow of Winopa, Philip +. Brown of Luyerne
and Calvin L. Brown of Morris.
The delegates were all Lind's friends.
but divided into two factions. One de-
clared that Lind must be nominated
despite his repeated refusals to be a
candidate and his final fiat declarat ton,
in a telegram from Portland, Ore. yes
terday, that he would not accept the
nomination if made; the other argued
that Lind had been governor of Mime
sofa and had nothing to gain by the
nomination and that he was of suffi-
cient Importance to have his wishes
needed by the convention.
The latter faction argued and shook
fists at the chairman and at the other
side. while those who were bent on
nominating Lind howled, Kissed and
completely blocked the proceedings un-
til by sheer force of noise and enthusi-
asm they won their point.
Even then, the friends opposed to the
nomination took advantage of a mo-
tion to, make the nomination unanimous
to argue.
They wanted an opportunity to sub.
nit the nomination to Lind by tele-
graph and await his answer but finally
the nomination was made unanimous
and the convention adjourned at 49,
One of the clauses of the platform
adopted read as follows:
We condemn the retention of Richard A. Bal
linger secretary of the interior after the ex-
posllre of his methods of conducting the affairs
of that ofhce relating to conservation, and de-
clare 1t to be a national scandal.
