atives for several weeks, left for her
home, Friday.
Charlie Bilyeu received phone
message from La Grande, Friday night
asking Enterprise to enter the pro-
posed league with Elgin, Union, La
Grande and Baker. 1t is the chance
for good ball and it's up to the citi-
zens whether they want that kind or
not. 1t is not fair that the ball boys
should go down in their pockets and
pay as well as play.

Miss Combes Is the sole representa-

clues from his bailiwick to here. A
man answering the description, rid

heard of him.
The thief is described as about

OLD SETTLERS LEAVE
WOODS COUNTY.
(From Alva, Okl., Recordo

From Alva Okl., Record)
On Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs j. F..
Bruce, who are among the first
settlers south of Hopeton, left for
Enterprise, Oregon, their new home.
We regret to see these splendid
people leave Woods county but most
of their children had preceded them
to the northwest and as Mr.. Bruce
had been in poor health for some
time, he thought the change might
be for the best.
Mr.. Bruce still owns his fine farm
here and If he gets tired of Oregon
he will have a home to return to
here. Mr.. Bruce knew Governor Lee
Cruce when he was but a school
boy on Kentucky farm, and no man
in Woods county worked harder to
see the young Kentuckian elected than
did Mr.. Bruce. The best wishes of
hosts of friends go with these good
people to their new home.

Washington, March 24-Some time
ago Senator Bourne received from H
A. Jackson Of Tonawanda, N. Y, an
inquiry for information regarding the
opportunities for home seekers in
Oregon. Senator Bourne replied with
such information as he had at his

ceived from Mr.. Jackson letter in
which he says:

siderable data to me, together with

Hansfelder .old the story last week in San Francisco. It has only been par. tially confirmed, but friends of 5wayze here say that the dead man is the former conductor, road master and trainmsster of the old Mexican Central, who at one time had charge of the operation of the El Orc and Mexican mining rail way. Swayze was a Canadian citizen, and is said to have recent Iy moved to Ajuno from California.
 Mexican Herald: The call for the primaries Sunday October 1 aud the general election of presi, dent and vice-president Sunday October 15 was posted yesterday in the Federal District. The poster bears the signaturs of the governor of the Federal District and issued by order of Congress dated June 1. The order had passed through the hands. of President de la Barra, thence to the department of gober' naCion and finally published by the governor of the Federal Dis trict. The call provides that the governors of states and the highest authorities of the Federal District and territories shall divide their jurisdictions into electoral districts as provided in Article 4 of the cleo ton law of Dec. Is, 1901, and to be guided by data acquired during the census of 1910. The division of the states, districts, and terri tories shall be completed before the end of the present month. The primaries will be held October 1 and the electors then selected will assemble at the seat of the electoral district October 12. Three days later. October 15 the general elec- tiOns will take place. The elections will be governed by the laws of Dec. IS, 1901 and May "A, 1904.
 El Paso Times: Control of the Mexican National railways, re- presenting hundreds of millions of dollars, which now lies in the hands of a group of Cientificos, close friends of former President Diaz, is to be wrested from them at once by the new Mexican gov ernment at the direction of Fran cisco 1. Madero and associates. This means that the enemies of the evolutionary party are to be deprived of the last vestige of their power and, ,in fact, the most i'm. portant source of their influence, The Cientiico group, of which Se- nor Limantour is the head, now have majority of eight on the board of directors. However, the board can be changed by order of the president of the republic. The present government will remove enough of the members of the dominant faction to destroy the power of the old Diaz clique and replace them with men who can be trusted This action probably will oe taken within week.
