McKinley Roosevelt Ticket Backed by Republicans
The Ellsworth American reports the Philadelphia convention nominated William McKinley of Ohio for president and Theodore Roosevelt of New York for vice president by acclamation. It praises McKinley’s leadership, cites Roosevelt’s popular favor, and urges Republicans and independents to unite. The paper also analyzes China’s crisis, noting allied powers’ cooperation and potential partition risks. It criticizes Democrat stances on nails, fence wire, and ship registry, cites South’s political shift, and notes Oregon’s decisive victory for a straight‑out pro‑expansion platform.

Improvements at Green Lake Fish Hatchery Planned
The government Osh hatchery at Green Lake will undergo upgrades this summer. Work starts in about a month, including raising the dam four feet, constructing a new bowl house, and building a two mile shorter road from the hatchery to the Green Lake depot.
