Any dissension which may have ex isted between the members of the Re publican state central committee and State Chairman Cake has been compro mised in the Interest of harmony and a "Roosevelt" majority for Taft and Sherman. Republican headquarters will be established today in room on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building and the details of an actlre cenipalfrn will be directed Jointly bv Srte Chairman Cake and Ralph F- Williams, of Polk County. Na tional committeeman for Oregon. It Is apparent on the surface that an arrangement mutually satisfactory to all parties concerned was the result of conferences held Thursday and yes trday between National Committeeman Williams and other prominent Repub licans of the state with State Chairman Cake, fol lowing. hi return from the East. Among the leading Republicans of the state who were In the city yes terday were Senator C. W. Fulton Congressman W. R. Ellis and A. N. Gilbert, of Salem, the latter being one of the delegates from Oregon to the Chicago convention. Committees Meet Today. Congiessman Ellis was called home vesterday by reason of sickness in his family, while Senator Fulton will re turn to Aatoria this morning, not walt lnr for the conference of the state central committee, which is scheduled for 11 o'clock this morning in the head quarters in the Chamber of Commerce. The committee will not meet in the Selling-Hlrsch building, as originally announced. The programme to be followed at to day's conference has practically been decided as to details in the conferences which have been held. All that remains to be done is to ratify the plans that have been decided upon. Today's meeting will be attended by the mem bers of the atate central committee and the chairmen ft the Republican organ izations in the different counties. It will be ordered that the Taft-Sherman campaign be conducted Jointly by State Chairman Cake and National Commit teeman Williams, In . the rooms that have been engaged In the Chamber of Commerce building. They will be as sisted by a committee of five repre sentative Republicans of the state, who will be named at today's meeting. This committee will have charge of the financial end of the campaign and In every possible way will assist Cake and Williams in lining up the voters of the state for the usual Republican majority In November. Considerable literature has already been received from the Republican Na tional committee and a plentiful sup ply of Taft-Sherman buttons and other campaign souvenirs Is on the way. These mill be distributed through the state committeemen and county chairmen in the different coun ties. These officers also will receive Instructions today as how to proceed to compile a list of the voters of their re spective counties, preliminary to in- Court suits against the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad Company to compel that corporation to sell to them 160 acres of timberland located near Drain. Douglas County. The lands Involved In these sutts were Included originally' in the grant made by the Government to the Oregon fc California Railroad about 40 years ago. The plaintiffs, who are represented by Attorney A. W. Lafferty, ask that the railroad company be required to aell to them the two tracts of ISO acres .each at $.50 an acre in accordance with the terms of the grant by which the land was acquired. Over 70 of these individual suits have been filed, and, with the ex ception of Lonsberry and Goetlltzer. the plaintiffs have been made defendants In JAPANESE STVDEXT WOULD FIGHT AGAINST HIS NA TIVE COUNTRY.

Special Meetings Will Be Held In New England Towns Where Industry May Be Close ly Studied. Judge M. G. Munly, of this city, and C. W. Dorr, of San Francisco, vice- president and general counsel, respectiv- ly, of the Alaska Packers' Association, have accepted the appointment of Gov ernor W. B. Hoggatt, of Alaska, and will attend the International Fishery Con gress as delegates from the Territory of Alaska. This congress will be held at Washington, D. C. September 22 to 29, Inclusive. The conference at Washington will be the fourth since the congress was or ganized at Paris, In September, 1900, in tervenlng meetings having been held at St. Petersburg, in February. 1902, and at Vienna, in June, 1905. The purpose of the approaching conference is to delib erate on Important matters relating to fishing and fish culture and to submit propositions for the benefit of the fish eries to governments and to state, pro vincial and local authorities. Both Judge Munly and Mr. Dorr are closely identi fied with the fishing interests of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, which are the most important in the world, and will take an active part in the deliberation of the Washington congress In response to invitations extended by the Government of the United States. E national governments have already Sig nified their purpose to be officially repre sented, and delegates have been appoint ed by the Governors of many of the states of the United States. In view of the small number of the nations which have formally Indicated their inability to participate officially and the large number of persons who will attend as Individuals or as representatives of Im portant fishery societies, the congress promises to be important in Its repre sentative character, size and the value of its proceedings.

A number of state committeemen and county chairmen reached Portland yes terday and others will arrive on the trains this morning. Fear that the conference would develop into a fac tional quarrel will keep many of these officers away from the meeting. The uncertainty of Chairman Cake's return also will have the effect of further re ducing the attendance, so that It -s altogether Improbable that there will be a very representative meeting of Republican workers at the meeting today.

The convention meeting In the Mar quam is pronounced the authorized one by National officials, though the other, headed by Mrs. Seip, professes the right to hold a convention also. There would appear on the surface to be a wide dif ference of opinion regarding regularity of organization of the two bodies, but Trigg and Yanckwlch profess to have pos session of power-of-attorney establishing their position. Harry Yanckwlch is to call the "regu lar" convention to order at 10 o'clock this morning. A "message service" Is scheduled for 3:30 in the afternoon. meetings and take part In the discussions.
