Portland Last Week
' The Itepubllcan party of Oregon
took the first steps at Portland last
week to lau.nc.li the greatest buttle
of Us career, says the Oregonian.
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.

The party made the trip by auto

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

greatly surprised at the vast re
sources this valley possesses, and ad

Payment of Several Notes Delud
ed on Decision of Lang & Co.
vs. Fred S. 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. , ,

A news dispatch from Salem dated

Recently representatives of New

lease these beds, and were willing to
pay more than $1,500,000 for them,
but the Land Board rejected the of
fer because it did not know the real
value of the lakes.
In making the announcement the

A party composed of C. M. Emery,

Redding, and wife and H. R. Glenn
passed through Lakevlew Tuesday in
a large Locomobile car, coming from I

Alturas. ,
.lr. Kmery was piloting the party
and securing data and information
for the Auto Bluebook, which is the
otficial guide for the American Auto
mobile Association. He is of the be
lief that the major portion of the
western auto travel at the beginning
of the fair next year will be over the
northern route, and says that the
feasible route south from Spokane,
Wash., Is to The Dalles and down by
way of Prineville and either by way
of Lake-view and out to Redding or
by Klamath Falls and Mt. He
bron, although he gives the former,
by way of Lakevlew, the preferen
ce owing to better grade and scenic
advantages.
From here the party went to
Klamath Falls, and from there will
go to Spokane, Wash., by way of
the Willamette Valley, finishing the
present trip. Mr. Emery has pre
viously covered the road between
here and north to The Dalles and is
very favorably impressed with the

That which was a deplorablu oc

suited much more disastrously, was
the killing of two saddle Jwrses on.
the ZX ranch last Friday morning
by lightuiug. One of the horses
was the property of Harold, son of

of the ZX company, and the ixtlir

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.
