The republican county central com mittee of Union county acted with considerable wisdom yesterday when it met to select delegates to the Port land assembly. It safeguarded the party in huh county by iweolutlofi SB which the old form of convention Notice of Final Settlement Notice Is hereby given to all con cerned, that, Angus Shaw, Jr., execu tor of the last will of Angus Shaw, deceased, has filed in the County Court of Union county, Oregon, his final report in the administration of said estate, and the said court has set Monday, the first day of August, A.

The initial Chautauqua was primarily an experiment and the ten-, tatlve arrangement for tickets and Other details, as well, have to be ar- j ranged for the good of the cause. ment could have been paid to tho board of managers which so success fully manipulated the first Chautau qua, than to re-elect every member of with Its corrupt practices was repu-1 that Doard and tn,B waB done Jester- dinted and a pledee made to stand by republicanism and for party organi zation was along lines that do not destroy the direct primary law nor permit the juggling of politicians which caused the downfall of the old convention system. The committee covered the ground and did it well. There Is probably not a republican in Union county who would sanction a return of the pack ed convention, or the "hold-up" leg islature, nor any of the other fearful practices that some of the party lead ers can plainly remember, as well as the rank and file of the party. The, committee stands for the direct primary with such additional organi sation as recommended by Governor Hughes, President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. Surely no good cltlen could object to the Hughes method for it Is absolutely fair and takes away no right that the people now enjoy. It does destroy the possibil ity of rich men only holding office, or men who are backed by money with which fight personal campaigns This, when viewed dispassionately, Is but right and proper, for In the state of Oregon, no man's capability for holding office should be guaged by the amount of money he can spend upon a campaign. It is understood that most of the delegation named yesterday will at tend the assembly. They will go there as citizens and republicans and no person has a right to impugn thpir motives nntll something other than honorable action becomes apparent. Just how popular the action of the seen. But whether popular vote oi not it was an act that was rlirht, proper, and fair, and has behind It u principle that will live whether vic tory or defeat, meets ihe efforts of the parly for several campaigns to come. The benefits of a paid fire depart ment are plainly in evidence. La Grande cannot afford to run the risk. Property is entirely too valuable here to leave anything undone to give It protection from the flames. day afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the second annual meeting of all stock holders was held at the Chautauqua grounds. Every person who held a season ticket is a member of the as sociation and entitled to cast a vote. The board meets tonight td organize and elect officers from the following list of executive members: John Col lier, George T. Cochran, T. A. Rine hart, W. K. Jones, C. T, Black, C. T. Bacon, W. D. MacMillan. Mrs. Jay Van Buren and Mrs. C. P. Newlin. The matter of bills will come up to night and In this way the board will be able to strike a balance sheet. A mere financial deficit will not dis courage the management by any means for the moral support given the initial attempt was so encourag ing and the experiment has been found so universally popular that it would be the height of folly to back down. When a rising vote was called for last evening prior to the enter tainment of the evening, every person In the auditorium was on his feet In a moment, testifying that he or she would be back to the Chautauqua n 191.1 to the last ditch. Over 100 tick ets were purchased in a few moments. It is needless to elaborate more ful ly on the numbers presented this year. They were of the very highest type morally and learnedly what more can be said? Now that the Chautau qua is over, and the men and women who forsake private duties for the welfare of the Chautauqua, have the highest possible praise due them, and tho Observer voices the public sentl- prlndpsl place or business for the ' Pacific Coa t h the city of Portland, I State of Oregon, and having here:o- fore duly complied with the laws of j the State of Oregon relating to for ! eign corporations transacting the bus I lness of express and forwarding in i said State, and having been regular I ly admitted to transact the said busl , ue8s of express and forwarding In I said State, and having deposited With I the State Treasurer of the State of I Oregon the sum of Fifty thousand 'dollars ($50,000.00) , as provided b, j the laws of Oregon, now desires and ; has voluntarily decided to cease thj j transaction of its approximate busi ness of express anl forwarding in tho 1 deposit at the expiration of six (6) months from and after the date of 1 the first publication of this notice, to wit: December IT 1010, provided , no claim or cairns against said Com- pany shall be filed with the State Treasurer of the State of Oregon dur- iug Bald ti.ue.
