Company I third regiment, .0. N. G. of this city will not be disbanded. On the contrary the command will be virtually reorganized under a new and capable commander and placed in such a condition that it will secure the respect and support of the peo ple of the city. At least this will be the outcome if plans agreed upon last night at a meeting of the Commercial associ ation are carried out. At the special session last night the subject of the guard company was the principal topic of consideration and it was dis cussed pro and con. . At the Invitation of President W. L. Thompson, Captain M. S. Kern first spoke upon the subject. He complained of lack of support for the company on the part of businessmen and argued strongly against allowing the company to be disbanded. Captain Wilson, of Portland, and the commander of one of the crack .companies of that city, was the next speaker. He was present as a repre sentative of Adjutant General Finzer who was compelled to go to Baker City on the evening train. The cap tain spoke with enthusiasm of "national guard service and declared the guard to be a splendid thing for young men. He has been a guards man for IS years. --... M - Captain Wilson is a traveling man and in his remarks he paid a good tribute to Pendleton. He said: "1 have urged General Finzer not to al low company L disbanded for the rea son that I considered Pendleton one of the very best towns In the state and a logical place for a good strong com pany. It will probably be the only town in eastern Oregon having a com pany and it should be maintained. 1 am confident a company can be main tained here easier than In Portland." George Hartman, Jr., former first lieutenant of the Second Oregon, also spoke and urged that measures be taken to keep the company going.

Dr. Smith suggested that the com pany be maintained and steps taken to secure an armory, in this connec tion Adjutant General Finzer was quoted as declaring that prospects for a Pendleton armory next year are bright provided the company is plac ed upon a permanent footing. Under the law the state pays for half the cost of armories and the towns and counties where the structures are lo cated meet the remainder of the ex pense. It was also urged last night that an armory would be highly valuable for convention purposes and for the holding of a Chautauqua course in this city. Seeking a Captain.

Condon, Ore., April 12. In the most spirited city election Condon has witnessed In eight years the forces of Jay Bowerman went down to defeat yesterday at the hands of the "inde pendents" who elected the mayor and three out of four councllmen. For mayor, Dr. J. F. Wood, Independent, secured 97 votes, while Dr, J. W. Donnely, who ran for re-election as the "regular" or Bowerman candi date, polled 78 votes. Councllmen were elected as follows: Dr. B. F. Butler, independent, by 127 votes; J. H. Hire, Independent, by 86 votes; John Scott, regular, by 93 votes; and H. A. Thieson, independent, by 72 votes. In the campaign political lines were practically thrown aside as far as the republican and democratic parties were concerned. The Issue was to whether the Bowerman faction of the republican party should hold control of thp city and by their votes the people of Condon voted ,nay to this proposition. Dr. J. F. Wood is a democrat politically, but in the race for mayor he was supported by re publicans as well ns by democrats. Dr. Donnely the present mayor and de feated aspirant for re-election, was appointed by. the council to fill the vacancy caused by the removal from the city of Former Mayor Farnsworth.
