cations that the fight In Bernalillc
county and in a number OF other
counties will be between Wilson and
Taft.
While realizing that the condition
of the party in the state is desperate,
the republican leaders are not by any
means discouraged and the enthusi-
asm displayed in the convention was
no whit less than that at the demo-
cratic and progressive gatherings.
United states Senator Thomas r.
Catron demonstrated that age has not
in any degree impaired his powers
and his keynote speech as temporary
chairman was a vigorous and able
enunciAtion Of the principles upon
which the republican party viii stand
in this campaign. There is no doubt
that for the first time in number of
years the two old parties are squarely
divided on great national question.
In the last presidential campaign the
republicans flrted with a low tariff
platform, but this year they have re-
turned to first principles and stand
splidiy for a high protection duty on
imports. If either Wilson or Taft is
lccted, he will stand committed to a

That the republican machine Il
well oiled and every part in goot
working order was demonstrated al
the state convention Of the party yes
terday, called to nominate a candi-
date for congress. three presidential
electors and to elect a now national
committeeman to succeed the late
Solomon Luna and choose state
chairman to succeed Venceslao Jara-
milo.
In point of numbers it was the
largest of the three conventions held
IN albuquerque this week.
One thing was made evident yes
tcrday and that was that very few of
the recognized republican leaders of
the state have followed the bull
moose away from the party. With
very few exceptions all the old guard
was here and it was evident that

death.

ferings from the following brother

$3.50, 900 In TAXES
PAID INTO TREASURY

Owners OF property in Josephine
county to the amount of $4,000
must pay 10 per cent penalty into
the sherifi's office. This results from
the fact that the tax roll shows SS2,-
600 unpaid of the total roll OF s262,-
600.
The Southern Pacific company, the
largest taxpayer in the county, paid
up before the penalty of 10 per cent
began last Monday. The sum turned
over to the sheriff's office by the cor
poration on its right-of-way and 9TH
er property in the county exclusive
of the congressional lands, footed up
$S7,79344. In paying this sum in
taxes before the penalty was due, the
Southern Pacific got the usual rebate
of three per cent, saving the tidy
sum of s1,133.SO.
The law allowing one-half to be
paid as a first payment was taken
advantage OF by the company regard
ing its congressional lands In this
county. The total tax on the land is
$32,2S3.04, one-half of which sum
has been liquidated. Deputy Sheriff
Eugene Coburn states that the sher-
iff's office has written this season a
total Of 2941 receipts, which is 800
more receipts than any season hereto
fore. This increase In the number
of receipts is due to the cutting up
OF tracts OF land which are sold to
homeowners, thereby creating more
property owners than when the lands
we're held by fewer owners.
Regarding collections in the Of
fee, Coburn says that they are slow
er this season that last year, about
10 per cent short OF 1911 Persons
outside the county owning real estate
in the county have been more
prompt in payment OF their taxes
than the county residents.

GRANTS PASS BASEBALL
TEAM DEFEATS PORTLAND
Flash-Grants Pass wins to 2.
Game ends middle ninth. Grants
Pass at bat. Rain.

The great national game opened in
Grants Pass Thursday when the husky
Portland Northwestern ball team,
headed by Nick Williams, began to
battle on the diamond with the Grants
Pass team, champion of Rogue valley.
Threatening rain at noon put a
scare into the hearts OF the fans, but
by 2 o'clock the weather clerk shut
off the dampness, and early in the
afternoon the crowds flocked to the
field.
Much interest is added to the con-
test by reason of the fact that Port
land has loaned Osborne to the home
team for the contest
