Miller, killed a good sized black bear at the Otis Shanor place on Friday evening last. They were coming in from the re serve where they had been with a bunch of cattle, and as luck would have it, neither one had a gun They treed Mr. Bear, however, and Merrill kept him up there until Mil ler could go a distance of about 4 miles for his gun and return, when the animal was soon dispatched. They thought first of lassoing the bear and bringing him in as a cap tive but were prevented from doing this by the brush. He was a fine specimen, being about 18 months old W. S.

The March payroll for cream at the sta tion was $804.65. A good cold nipping frost and some Ice greeted the early riser Mon day morning. Many gardens were damaged as well as the fruit.

C. W. Ackerson, who claims to be a Republican, is a candidate. He registered as a Progres sive January S, 1914. Then signed peti tion of H. W. Coe to be Progressive National Committeeman. Then can celled his registration as a Progres sive and registered as a Republican and immediately filed his candidacy for membership on Republican Nation al Committee. Has been an Intimate and convenient understudy of the Pro gressive National Committeeman and seems now to be in combination with him in an attempt to shanghai the Republican organization. His candi dacy is being actively backed by par ties hostile to the Republican party and having personal Interests and pri vate personal grudges to serve. His erratic and excitable temperament has frequently led him to flood the col umns of the press with violent attacks upon the Republican party and vicious personal abuse of prominent Republi cans and life-long residents of the State. It i3 a grave abuse for parties who are not Republican to register as such. It is a graver abuse for outsiders to attempt the capture of a political par ty to gratify a personal grudge and to promote party discord. It is an abuse against which fair-minded men of all parties will rise in protest. We can never have a reunited party by pushing to the front political hotheads and men who are political reformers simply for the sake of office. Having been a Republican only twenty-four hours when he announced his candi dacy for the highest honorary position in the gift of the party, is some indi cation of what Mr. Ackerson'B "motive was In registering as a Republican. As Hon. Ralph E. Williams is the only Republican who is a candidate (or Republican National Committeeman, we feel warranted in urging all loyal Republicans in the state to give him their earnest and enthusiastic support, CHAS. B. MOORES, (Chairman of Republican State Cen tral Committee.) M. B. McFAUL, (President Lincoln Republican Club.) McKINLEY MITCHELL, '; (President of Portland Republican Club.) C. M. IDLEMAN, (President Multorpor Republican Club.) . To The Members of The Library Association.

Due notice had been ;iven of time and place of meeting but apparently no attenlon was paid l.o it. It is important that this bus iness he attended to, and another meeting is called for 3 o'clock p m., Tuesday, May 12. Should -there not be a sufficient number present 'o elect at this time, the present of floors will hold over for the ensuinj year, as this is all that can be ,donc under such circumstances. M. K. Church, South. Rev. O. W. Elliott of Portland will preach at the M. E. Church South, next Sunday, both morninp and evening.

A 436 VALENCIA ST., SAN FRANCISCO, C4L KINDLY MAIL this to some one with CANCER Shovelful of Earth to Be Thrown by Each Visitor Toward New Build ings. University of Oregon, Eugene, May 4 Hundreds of Oregon high school students will come to Eugene this week for junior week-ond, and each of them is to throw one shovelful of dirt In excavation for buildings that are likely in a short time to be the scene of his advanced studies. The ground-breaking ceremony will be tor the $30,000 wing that is to treble the capacity of the library, and for the addition to the building where the new School of Commerce will be housed. A second ground-breaking cere mony is also to take place this spring: It will be for the main ad ministration and classroom building, in Juno, and is to be attended by Governor West, the board of regents, the full commencement crowd and many alumni. Of these two items of the building program, the first is to be finished by September; it consists of the li brary wing, the dormitory wing, the Commerce building wing, repairs to Deady hall and extension of the cen tral heating plant. The second is to be finished by next February; it con sists only of the administration building. About 400 high school boys and girls are expected here this week. Of these, 250 will be athletes who will come to participate in the fourth annual state interscholastic track meet. This track meet is given un der the auspices of the student body, which guarantees the expenses of four students from each Willamette valley high school and also of first place winners in the eastern Oregon meet, which was held at Wallowa Saturday. The winning relay team at the eastern Oregon meet will also be brought. Other athletes, many of wh6m will come, will pay their own transportation, but entertain ment is provided by the student houses in Eugene, several of which will have between 20 and 30 guests each. Fifty high and preparatory schools will be represented in the meet, it is expected. Schools as far south as Ashland and as far east as Ontario are to have men here. Admittance to the various student activities, except the senior play, will be free to the visitors, and the 3tudent body purposes extending every' hospitality. No junior week ond pledging to student societies or groups of any kind is to be done. 3uch pledging has been a custom of the past, but concerted agreement among the members of the men's new Pan-Hellenic forbids it this year. the inland empire tea- ch;;i.s' association. The meeting of the Inland Empire Teachers' Association, which was held at Spokane, was one of the lar gest and most successful meetings over held west of the Rocky Moun tains In point of attendance, the lumber present rivaled the N. E. A. it was estimated that 2000 teachers ind school officers were present, and ;he enrollment parcentage Indicated .hat the estimate was about right. The program was fuli of Interest. No lack of life was manifest. Supt. I. H. Francis, of Los Angeles, and LibrarianA. E. Bostwick, of St. Louis were the leading outside speakers. Tlie discussions in the section meetings indicated that people are awake to the fact that we are in the midst of a revolution In the educa tional world. In the school offirers' section, O. M. Plummer, of Portland, and Mrs. G. D. McQuesten, of the Board of' Education of Tacoma, aroused much interest In questions as seen from the point of view of a member of a school board. Every one present knew that Portland and Tacoma had made no mistake in the election of these members of their Boards. They both were listened to with the delight by the parent teacher section also. State Supt. Churchill and Assistant State Supt. Carleton delivered excellent ad dresses before the school officers' section. The experiment of having a section where the superintendents and members of school boards could meet and discuss questions from both points of view proved that such meetings can be made very profit able. It Is planned to have a great er meeting of this kind at the N. E. A. at St. Paul in July. Oregon was well represented at the meeting, but the county super intendents and school board mem bers from Oregon were not as much In evidence as It had been hoped that they would be. No doubt there will be a larger attendance next year. School Notes.

A new state map and a new chart have been purchased recently. In District No. 14 the boys' out building needed some repairs and a scrubbing. Frank McGrath, one of the pupils took the matter In hand, and the building Is now In good re pair and excellent condition. A little of the spirit shown by Frank manifested in many districts would result in some worthy improve ments. THE FEDERATED CHURCH. "Mothers Day" May 10th will be observed by the Federated church.
