Of Mr. Cherry, the popular democrat ic candidate for county clerk, the Wes ton Leader, in its laet issue, says: 'J. E. Cherry commands the most strength where he is best known. He will get a surprising number of votes in the districts where he has made the ac quaintance of the people through the medium of his school room work than which there is no more severe test of a man before the community. The prin cipal of a school who teaches year after year in the samalocality, as Mr. Cherry has done at Adams, gaining a firmer hold each year upon the affections of his pupils and the esteem of their parents, must have few weak points in his char acter. A servant of the people whose work to thom is of vital importance, the teacher's flaws are open to their scath ing criticism. That Mr. Cherry is liked so well both as man and teacher at Mil ton and Adams, where be has lived and worked for years, is a recommendation of value, lie would earn the hearty good will of the people of the county in general if elected to the clerk's office. He declined a proffered nomination as county superintendent because he pre ferred to remain in his profession as a teacher, if at all; and was then urged by his delegation for the clerkship when it became evident that the only conditions upon which Mr. Chamberlain felt justi fied iu accepting a third-term nomina tionthe unanimous, spontaneous and free-will offering of the convention could not be attained. And let it be said to those who felt disappointed at the convention's action that Mr. Cherry is not to blame and cannot be blamed for the anti-third-term sentiment re sponsible for it. He would have been as enthusiastic over Mr. Chamberlain's nomination for the clerkship as any other loyal democrat could possibly have been, and the most cordial rela tions obtain between himself and his popular running-mate on the legislative ticket. The Leader dwelh upon this point to remove any misunderstanding that may exist at Weston, which sent a united Chamberlain delegation to the democratic convention. Loyalty to and personal friendship for a fellow-towns man are proper factors in the large vote which Mr. Baling will receive at Wes ton which any reputable candidate should receive in his own bailiwick but there's no ground for dissatisfaction among democrats, whose candidate for clerk is in every respect creditable to their ticket and worthy of their support. ISN'T THIS A STUNNKB? Just how the Pendleton Tribune will get the kinks pulled out of the follow ing, which appears in the Pilot Rock Record, a republican paper, we will not attempt to say. The Tribune all along has been misrepresenting the purchase of the county poor farm, a fact which is again proved by the statements made by Horace Walker, county commissioner, to the Record. The Record says; "Horace Walker was in Pilot Rock the other day and in conversation with the Record desired to have it Btuted that he and Gilliland were responsible for the purchase of the McKay creek poor farm. He Bays that before the purchase was made the sum of $5,000 was annual ly paid out for the care of tho indigent aud that this year over $1000 worth of hay was sold from the farm now owned by the county, and that he exported the farm would be self-sustaining in another year or two. "He claims the farm could be sold to day for more than it cost the county and considers the investment one of the best that could possibly be made by the county, For political purposes some people are giving Hartman all the credit for the purchase of the poor farm, but tbe fact is Hartman favored the pur chase of a place in the lower part of rendleton." Exercising the method of eternal vigilance will not at times suffice to keep erroneous statements from the newspaper columns. An illustration of this fact is brought forcibly to mind by the roort.N of friction between two of Weston's loading institutions tho nor- mal echool and the brickyard. In this instance there is absolutely no truth whatever in the statements made in effect that a brickyard force rottenegged President French of the normal school, attributed to revenge for statements alleged to have been made by Mr. French. The papers in which the re ports were made will be quick to set the matter right before the eyes of the pub lic, but in the meantime Weston will be compelled to smart with righteous in dignation at a report manufactured by some unscrupulous scoundrel fr a malicious purpose. Mr. Bean's "old system" road making issue died a-bornin', bo to speak. The present county court is and has been for months, conducting county road making on district supervisor plan. Mr. Beathe of Weston conducts a chop mill in Wes ton, and therefore, is not "bitting the high places" in road making as the Tribune would have you believe. If there is any hitting of "high places" it is being done by the regularly appointed district supervisors, an authentic list of whom will be found on page one of to day's Press. Charles P. Strain, by his honesty of purpose and indomitable courage, made the Pendleton Tribune pay him this tribute: ((Mi Strain ia a dAmncrnt find the Tribune republican, but this paper does not hesitate to commend him for the assiduity with wmcn be nas pursued nis investigations of railway values, and the ability he has shown in presenting the results to the county court. He has Anna n-hof tin nthar in tllA HlRTA h&B dared to do, and perhaps what no other . ' it assessor bad tbe ability or energy to ao. An official who has made the un paralleled record with which T. D. Tay lor, sheriff of Umatilla county, comes before the people, needs no further recommendation. In addition to being the most efficient sheriff the county has ever bad, "Till" is popular where ever he is known. He numbers his friends by the legion and to a man they will stay by him through thick and thin. The tail end of the county democratic ticket Bhould not in the least be over looked by you, Mr, Voter. In Mr Berkeley the democratic county con vention named a young man well quali fled to look after the duties of county surveyor, and in giving you for coroner Dr. T. M. Henderson, the selection was well made. Athena was pleased with the Cale donian picnic, and evidently the Cale donians are pleased with Athena. The picnic was a success in every sense, and Athena is proud of the honor in enter taining the Scotch people, their lads, lassies and bairns. The democratic nominee for county treasurer, S. G. Lightfoot, is known the county over as a man of integrity and tine business qualifications, A vote for him goes to a man who is in every way competent to look after the duties of the office. W. S. Mayberry is making an active canvass for county school superintend ent. His qualifications are in every way equal to those of his opponent. Would it not be a good idea for Athe na to celebrate on July 4? Foley's Honey sad Tar tor chUdrea,saic,svre. vo opiate. --The- COMMERCIAL1 LIVERY, FEED and SALE STABLE.
