Chairman Ayer declared that the N-rtl Iakota election. which went strongly against Theodore Roosevelt demonstrates the fueling of the peo p!e regarding the third terra proposi tion. "The most serious Issue of the Presldentlsl campaign has been that of the third term,- said Chairman Ayer. Th action of North Dakota showing the disapproval of the third term la an Indication of the temper of the American people. Certain of our Institu tions are too sacred to be tampered with and the opposition to the third lrm apparently Is deep rooted In the minds of all loyal cltisena. Mr. Roose velt haa said he Is confident that In an open primary he would be the choice f the people. Ills overwhelming defeat in North Iakota ahows very clearly that he Is mistaken completely regard ing the feeling of the people. Oregon will give tiie same answer to hla Claims aa North Dakota."

Negotiations with F. J. Nelson, the promoter of the new market building at Sixth and Pine Btreets, for the es tablishment of quarters for the Port land Commercial Club in the new structure, have been declared at an end. The agreement with the contractors on the market building to move the club quarters thither was made con tingent upon Mr. Nelson disposing of the present Commercial Club building at a figure named by the club. Mr. Nelson's option on the structure has expired without the sale being made and was not renewed. An an nouncement was made yesterday at the meeting of the board of governors that the arrangement for securing quarters in the market building would not be considered lurtner. Tho officers of the club will now take under consideration plans for remodeling the present club rooms to accommodate the growth in its mem bership, and possible consideration of securing a site for a new building in case it is not found feasible to alter the one now occupied. Action will probablj- be taken on the matter at a meeting of the board of governors next Tuesday. Treatise on Walnut Culture Out.
