is i'ouite itroepect that Thurston cotinty vIll
fuuiuishi a large share of the excltment st
the republican state convcnttcil , which Is to
aseontble at. Omaha on tile 1&th , Thus county
viil cnul two delegations , each claiming
legally to represent the voters. The contest
rcsuitu , from the opposition to what is known
in. thii county as the "l'ethles faction , " anti
the preont trouble dates from the holding
of the county cnivcntlon at Ponder on March
27. At this convention the eight precIncts
of Thurston county were entitleti to forty
delegates. Five of the precincts Pent Uncontested -
contested delegations , in the remaining
three precincte double headers were elected ,
Th three contested precincts are I'ender ,
Blackbird citul Floutitoy , and combined they
lund twenty slx delegates , all reprecanting the
I'eeiile'j facticit , and enough to control the
county convention.
The county convention , which met on the
27th , was a raruus one , and for a time it
Icoked as if the rival delegates would pam
something more than hard words before sit
ndjoutuiineust was reached , Both delegations
occupied seats in the convention ball , and
both claimed the right to participate In the
preliminary proceedings.
The Peebles faction undertook to control
the convention frouti the firet fail of ( lie gavel.
The delegates were called to order by J. F' .
Meyera , chunirmnan of the county cc.trai cons-
nuittee , antI nice one of the contesting ( hole-
gates from Pinder. lie recognized B. F.
McDonald , another contesting delegate front
Pcnder , who nominated A. C. Abbott , still
another contesting delegate from I'cnder.
for temporary chairman. The motion vaa
put tumid declari'd by Meyers to be carrIed ,
The antl-Peehhes deiegateei insist that the
motion was voted down anti demanded a
roll call , or at least a division , Their' do-
111(11(15 , they claim , were Ignored.
The uncontested , or anti-Peebles delegates
then proceeded to effect an organIzation' of
their own by making C. M. McKnighit ( tin-
porary chairman. Thus there were two
temporary organizations in the convention.
and in each case the chairman claimed the
right to namno the committee on credentials.
COMPROMISE EFFORTS FAILED ,
A recess wat , taken by the two organiza-
tioflL , anti the leaders got together in an
attempt to harmonize the differences. Soy-
oral propositions were made. A. C. Abbott ,
chairman of the Peebiem convention , proposed -
posed to subunit the differences between ( hue
oopoain ; factions to Mdl C. Jay and C. C.
McNish , both non-resident republicans. Tue
anti-Pec.blcui men accepted the proposition on
this condition that a third non-resident re-
publlcan be added , naming A. D. Beenter
To title Abbott asaented. The proposition
wac finally rejected by the Peebles faction.
A propocition to divide the delegatton , giving -
ing each of the factions equal representation -
tion In the state convention , was also cc-
jecteci. All hope of a compromise wee
then given up. Chtatruran Abbott , repro-
seating tue Peebies convention , ignored the
oppordng faction , and tlte contesting dde-
gates proceeded with the work of the convention -
vention , selecting well known frlendu , of
Peobles to the state anti congressional con-
ventions.
The anti-Peebles men vili go before the
state convention with a contesting delegation -
tion , and have prepared a large. number of
amulavits to support their position. Thie
unothoil of conducting the primary electiona
is attacked in these amdavits , and chargee
of fraud arc freely made and sworn to.
It iii asserted by the anti-I'ecbles faction
that the county central committee arranged
that thio primaries at Ponder should be held
between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock in the
afternoon , but. that in all the' country pre-
clncts ( ito primaries should not be held until
8 o'clock in the evening. This arrange-
inent was made. it is ase'crted. in order that
( lie Peebhes men in thio town of Ponder
might have a chance to visit the country
precincts after their own primaries were
cloced. In fact , well known Peeblea workers
did vicit Blackbird and Flournoy precincte
after the regular primaries In these precincts
had been held. At eachi pmace tlue visitors
organized caucuses and actleetetl contesting
delegates after thto regular caucuses hued
been adjourned.
It is asserted hero that General Peebles
itt shuowiuug a letter which he claims is
written by Senator Thuirston , agreeing that
Ito shall have control of the federal
patronage for the Third congressional die-
( net in the event that he ha elected to con-
gross. Peebleuc will not , however , htow the
signature to the letter.

TIuo oldest manuscripts of the bible arc
not those of the old testament , but of the
new , says ( hue New Yorlc Journal. The earii-
est now testament text dates front the fourth
century , whereas those of thue old testament
arc not oltier than the ninth century. Thus
the oldest extant manuscripts of
the Hebrew od testament are 500
years later than thuc earliest
istttnuscrpts of the Urcek new testament ,
One eminent muoderit writer declares that all
the existing Hebrew manuscripte of the old
testament descend front a single copy made
in the reign of Hadrian ( A. B , 102-117) ) , at
tluc tiumse of the great persecution of the
Jews by that emperor ,
Some umtemoriais of the greatest value ,
completely revolutionizing all previous
knowledge of the condition under which
written documents were prepared in remote
ages , have been discovered within the last

is better to properly care for thtem after
they are Planted. Whtere the echuool groumtds
are not fenced , the trees shuoulti be at least
t\vo ittcitem in diamrtor ttu'J be well boxed.
\\'hitn trees are taken fromf the forest they
should not be torn out and ( lie entaIl roots
pulled off , as Is usually the care. Except in
rich , loose soil , the huolee should be about
three feet in diameter and at least thirty
Inches deep. The hole houid be partly filled
withu loose , rich coil , and thou filled with
water Soune time before the tree Is planted.
This all means work , but it Ia better , I
tiulnk , to properly plant and care tar one
tree each year titan to huatttily plant fifty
treeu to linger awhile antI titen die.

rcmembe that cii the wood and fruit that

cannot cat solid food , They must huave
water Where the ground is dry the ra'iufall

there may be occasional hard rains , the roots
remain dry.

billions of cubic feet eacht year , but so far

to grow timnber on their own land. If ( tue
