ball team was defeated byt uomm
On Jan. 22nd, the Lockhart basket
ball team was defeated by the Pacolet
quinto by score of Is to A. The
game began with a snap. The accu-
rate passing and the swiftness of the
Lockhart five almost bewildered their
opponents during the first five min
utes of play. After bit of confusion
Pacolet secured the ball and sounded
the first alarm to the Lockhart boys
by shooting the ball through the COW
eted ring twice in quick succession
All through the game Lockhart had
the pep, however, and it was not un-
til the referee sounded the last whis-
tie that the defeated team ceased To
play consistent ball.

to have a license law passed In our

When asked what Washington would
do politically at the general election in

interviewed:
Washington went for Roosevelt four
years ago, and I am confident that 1t
will go for President Wilson in No
vember. 1t is a Republican state but
I have Travelled over it extensively and
/ have found both Republicans and
Democrats in many parts strong for the
president. Criticism Of his official
acts is not heard often. The general
impression seems to prevail that he has
kept us out of war and should be re-
elected. I am a candidate for re- -elec-
tion and expect to be returned to Of
fice.''

big majority" said Governor Witty

There is no good reason to believe
otherwise. Oregon is a Republican
state and there is every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will vote strongly for the
party nominee, one of the most able
men the Republican party ever select
ed. However, we are more interested
in development in Oregon than we are
in politics. Oregon is a big state and
needs development to increase its pros

WILL NOT CONSENT
TO WITHDRAWAL OF
FORCE AT PRESENT

New London. Conn. Sept 2s.-Addi-
tions to the already large mass Of
information regarding Mexico's inter-
nal conditions were made at a confer
ence Of the Mexican-American joint
commission yesterday. The outstand-
ing feature of the meeting apparently
was the repetition Of the failure to
bring about an agreement on the with
drawal of the American troops.
The Mexicans produced reports cal
culated to show that the attack on
Chihuahua by Villa forces was Of no
great Importance. The american COM
were In receipt of reports
that placed the situation in q less op-
timistic light.
Until all doubt Is removed az to the
ability Of the Mexican army to control
the situation along the border. 1t is
that the Americans will
enter into an agreement for the with
drawal Of General Pershings army.

MOST SPLENDID OF
ALL ATTACKS MADE
BY BRITISH TROOPS

British Front in France. Sept. 25.-
(Monday)-This has been another
great day for the Anglo-French forces
on the Somme. AS a spectacle for the
observer 1t was the most splendid Of
ali the attacks made by the allied
forces since the commencement of the
great offensive. Tonight the British
have taken half of Morval, all of Les
Bout and have advanced their line on
a front Of 5000 yards for an average
depth of 1000 yards. The French
stormed Rancourt and have pushed
their line to the outskirts of the little
village OF Fregicourt one mile east
and little north of Combles.
The German stronghold of Combles
II virtually isolated. An Associated
Press correspondent went forward
yesterday over a ridge in Devils Wood
and the Ginchy region, which the
British fought over two months to
gain. He walked for two miles
through an area which reverberated to
the blasts Of the great guns. On either
side of the ridge he saw guns where he
had never seen them before on the
promised land of lower levels which
the British gained by persistent siege
work.
An hour before the time the infantry
was to move at least 80, 900 shells must
have been fired within the corre-
spondent's sight. At the appointed
time waves Of infantry surged forward
to the attack. Then the great Ger
man guns fired until the whole field
was lost In smoke. Overhead scores of
sausage balloons and hundreds of
heroplanes strove vainly to see what
was passing beneath. Then the sig
nal was received from Morval which
told that British infantry had reached
another goal, that another village had
been taken.
The greatest qualification Of the
British wounded was that 1t was be-
coming an even fight since the Ger
mans had NO more prepared lines. but
both armies were fighting IN the open.
According to British officers the Ger
mans on the fighting front have no
longer any trenches except those which
are dug under fire.

the lights so that we could see 1t, and
you stopped, opened the store and did
so. This morning I noticed you were
given front page advertising over the
incident"
The party enjoyed a hearty laugh, the
governor Joining in with the rest. re-
marking, Ever since I have been gov
ernor have been getting the best kind
of free advertising"
ALL FOR PREPAREDNESS.
The conversation switched to pre-
paredness about the time fried chicken
advanced in thick formation on the
breakfast table.
Il am heartily in sympathy of mill
tary training in our schools" said Gov
ernor Withycombe. THAT is where we
should start to prepare the nation for
a crisis and have no doubt If we train
ed the young we would have more men
fit for military service"
Yes, I agree with that" said Gov
ernor Lister. MY opinion is that we
should take steps to properly organize
for mobilization purposes. I have had
plan in mind for some time of organiz-
ing in this way Appoint men who are
familiar with sportation--railroad
men. If you please, and give them su-
pervision over the movement of troops.
Let them give the subject study. APP
point other men engaged in the hand
ling of supplies in large quantities to
study and take charge Of supplies for
the troops to be sent to the front. In,
this way, il seems to me, we would be
prepared for an emergency"
Governor Alexander stated that there
should be no favoritism shown in the
matter of military service and that all
young men should be given the same
treatment in preparing them in time of
peace, for war if it should come.
BELIEVE IN PROHIBITION.
Colonel Joel Priest at this time was
having difficulty trying to drink a
glass of pure. unadulterated water
which bought up the prohibition ques-
tion.
by the way" remarked Governor
Withycombe to Governor Alexander.
They are still talking over in Oregon
about your prohibition address given at
Portland. 1t is classed as the best
speech of its kind ever given in our
state"
"Oh, 1t was nothing out Of the ordin-
ary," replied Governor Alexander. 81
