The occaslou was the first meet ing of the state central committee for the election of officers and the discussion of plans for the coming campaign. From every section of the state came enthusiastic assurances that "Republicans are gofng to be Re publicans in the full meaning of the word this year. Twenty-three of 84 counties were represented by their county com mittemen by a delegate bearing a proxy or by some Interested Ite publlcan. Not a word of doubt was express ed an to tha success of the complete "Republican ticket, but there was no over-confidence. Rather, the feeling was that the party should not mere ly "come back" In Oregon, but "come back" by substantial ma jorities for every nominee. o Plan to meet your friends !n Lake view at the big celebration on Fri day arid Saturday.

Ity Way of Sil ver lnke Lukevlew on Hunduy night was l:,t,t to a distinguished party of the f-'rokane, Portland and Seattle an1 O-egon Trunk Itailroad officials. The party was composed of L. C.

Han ley Double O ranch in Harney Co., by way of flush and arriving here ubout six o'clock Sunday evening. That evening several local men in cars took the visitors down the east side of the valley to New Pine Creek and returning lo Lakevlew they were met l.i the Antlers Club rooms by a uu m er of local citizens and business men. The party left early Monday morning for Hend going by way of Silver lake. . Various conclusion may be drawn as to the ostensible purpose of the visit of the high-up officials In the way of conjecture of the possible early extension of ' Oregon Trunk road south from Hend through here, but no Intimations were made by them. It was the first vlt.lt here of Vrt't lilent Uillman and his party and "hey stated that the trip was made in order to get first hand informa tion of the country. They appeared greatly surprised at the vast re sources this valley possesses, and ad mitted that. It could not forever re main without a through railroad line.

Fisher With the completion lust Thurs day of the trial of Lang & Co.. of Portland against Fred S, Fisher, suit to recover money was ended one of the most prolonged terms of circuit court in Lake County for several years. A test case was made of this ac tion inasmuch as the paymeut of several notes pended on the deci sion.. The Jury returned a verdict in favor of Lang & Co, who was re presented by Attorney Chas. H. Combs, while W. Lair Thompson appeared for the defense. The note, against which suit was brought. In the amount of $100, was given by Mr. Fisher to the Coopera tive Supply House of Portland. This was given in December, 1912 and was In paymeut for stock In the concent which proposed to afford its stockholders the highest market for their produce and iu turn furnish them groceries and other supplies at the lowest market price. The Supply House later went through bankruptcy and transferred its uo'es as security to Lang & Company, a wholesale grocery firm of Portland, and who brought suit for the col lection of the notes. The payment of eighteen other notes, ranging iu amounts from $100 to $147. B0, held by parties in Lake County also hinged on the outcome of the case. The plaintiff, holding these notes contended that they were Innocent purchasers, while the defendant al leged that they were not Innocent purchasers, and in reality the de cision waa based upon this particu lar point. , , SITUATION IS LESS HOPEFUL COMPLICATIONS AIIISK IN MK.I CAN PKACK t'ONFKKKNCK AT NIAGARA FALLS VILLA - CARRANZA SPLIT Constitutionalist '" Favored for Pro visional President General Villa Resigns us Com mander Late developments .have added r various complications in the peace ful adjustment of Mexican affairs, and chances for a peaceful adjust ment of affairs are reported more discouraging that at any time since the conference met.

"" The horses were rtifen down on the marsh by Harold Fitzpatrlck an Edgar Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Clark of Lakeview. The boys tied their ponies to the weir and walked a short distance to where the dred ger was working. It is said that the bor upon returning were r enough the horses when tbe fatal bolt struck to see them fall. Both animals were stone dead when the boys arrived on the spot. The loss was shocking, especially to Harold who cherished his pet pony most highly, but fate really dealt kindly with them as had the boya been on the spot with the horses doubtless their Instant death would have resulted.
