LAB1SH PRECINCT LINES.
A Statement From County Clerk Ehlen as
u to the Boundaries.
iTlierc being considerable controversy
loncerning the boundaries of Lablsh
ind adjoining precincts, and in order
o correct a statement made by a cor
respondent In the Independent of
ay 2d, allow nic to say: That at no
mo Heretofore iiuye i oecu cuuuu
jn to certify to tbo true bounduiles
'said precinct as established by the
ammlssloners' court. On or about
arch ID th I was called upon for a
jrtlflcd copy of a certain boundary of
iuld precinct, as the same appeared In
1 certain book In iuy oftlcc kupwn as
'Rp-Unn Pnr.lni?t, HniHHllirlOS."
tTlils I furnished duly certified as
'being a correct copy therefrom, but
rdld not certify as to Its authenticity
as to a court record. This was not
'asked of inc. Subsequently, during
jfrny absence, my deputy, Mi. Allen,
"was railed upon to ccrtlfly as to what
fftho county court record showed con-
fioernlng this boundary, which request
iMr. Allen informs mo he complied
ftWltll.
This book to which I havo referred
(has been kept in the offlce for soveral
years past for convenience In tracing
up boundaries of election precincts.
When new precincts are established
!by the county court, or boundaries of
eld ones changed, 'the complete
description of such new. precinct or
change Is entered up In this book.
Jut upon Investigation I find that
ithls book.llko a similar book in which
(boundaries of road districts are re
corded, is not authentic, as the de-
bcrlptloDs therein recorded do not
inform In all caBes to the county
court Journal.
B , ... ....
in careiuuy looxiugup iue mature
lef the establishment of election prc-
iclncts as the same appears In the'
journal of the county commissioners'
ourt, I find that prlorto tho January
pterin of tho said court for tho year
1888, the boundaries of tho various
Cpreclncts existing at that time were
very vague and indefinite, but It will
ibe found by consulting Journal 0, of
ICommisfiloners' Court, pages 684 to
fc00, that all the precincts In tho
kounty were re-established and their
boundaries definitely fixed by proper
Unetcs and bounds at the said January
Ifterin, 1888.
The boundry of Lablsh preslnct, as
Mixed at that time, and recorded at
pagc 591 of said Journal Is as follews:
iBeglnnlng on the east bank of the
EWillamette river on the township
Mine between townships 6 and fl s, r
w, thence east tothe quarter section
srner on north boundary of sec 5,

1 0 s, r 2 w; thence east two and one
half miles; thence south one mile;
thence cat to the middle of Pudding
river; thenco southwesterly along
Luke- Lablsh or west fork of Pudding
river to the Intersection of said
stream with tho section line between
sections 23 and 20, t 0 s, r 3 w; thoncc
north to the quarter section eoruor
between said seotlons2." and 20; thence
west ono mile; thence north one and
one-half miles; thence west to tho
Willamette river; then down said
stream to tho place of beginning.
Now by carefully tracing the pro
ceedings of thu county commissioner'
court from that tlino down to the
present I find no record of any change
whatever affecting tho boundary lines
of Lablsh precinct as above described.
At tho January term, 1892, I tintl n
great many changes In different pre
cincts and the establishment of
several new ones In fact tho bound
aries of all tho precincts adjoining
Lablsh precinct were re-established
at that time, but I can find no record
at said term of any change whatever
affecting Lablsh precinct and I find
that the southern boundury of Gervals
precinct, which seems to bo the main
grounds of contention, as established
atthattltno coincides at every point
with the northern boundary of Lablsh
precinct as established In 1888, and
hence Itconcludo that cither tho
entry of tho description In tho book
referred to was an error or the clerk
at that time failed to prepare his
Journal entries to conform to tho
wishes of tho court; but in view of the
fact that we can find no written evi
dence in the files of this otllce touch
ing upon this matter, and finding, as
I do, that tho proceedings of tho
court, both at its January session of
1888 and 1802 are duly signed by tho
judge and commissioners of tho said
ceurt at tho said terms there Is no
necessity, I think, for further con
troversy as to the true boundary In
question. L. V. Ehlen,

AUMSV1LLE.
Aumsvllle was lively on Wednesday,
May 0. A Republican picnic with
il jii. Tims. II. Tongue, C. B. Moorcs
aud John Carson as speakers, and
other Republican candidates as a
sldo show, who kept up a lively talk
greatly to tho nuuoynnco of thoso who
wished to hear tho regular speakers.
Republicanism was given to us pure
and simple, nnd nil tho weak ones
havo braced up and arc now tho loud-
cstj to abuse tho Populists. It was
not a good day for Populists but at
night at Hlens hall they had their In
nings. Tho chairman said that they
wcro going to have a supper of mast
tonguo. Then tho Hon. T. J. Mc-
Clcnry commenced tlio cooling process.
In ii llttlo whllo Tongue's tariff
speech was dono brown. McCleary
said: "Tho terltll There Is noth
ing In tho tariff. Thoy cry tariff,
tariff, Just to blind tho people. Thoy
liavo fooled the people for thirty years
with this tariff cry, but this turlff cry
Is played out. Tongue should havo
a ropo around his neck and I should
llkotopull the ropo." Tremendous
cheering and clapping of hnnds, then
M".Cleary made us happy with the
promise- of plenty of money, no worth
less sliver and gold, but tho pure and
simple, "this Is a dollar" to tloat aud
circulate forover, no Interest, no re
deemer. Perpetual motion.
R. R. Ryairgavo n pleasant llttlo
speech full of free instructions. Ho
said that a bushol of whont In always
tho same value as an ounce of silver,
and a man from America aud ono
from India would each receive in tho
London market an ounce of silver for
their bushel or wheat. When tho
American returned homo his ounce of
sliver would only bo worth 05 cents
whllo In India it would bo worth 91.30.
But Mr. Ryan failed to say that It
would tako tho $1.30 to buy another
bushol of wheat In India whllo the 05
cents would do tho sumo In America.
Ho told us that sllvor regulated tho
price of wheat; ho told us that Eng
land regulated tho prlco of wheat; ho
told us that tho currency of tho coun
try regulated tho prlco of wheat,
when tho currency was contracted
wheat was cheap, and when tho cur
rency wub Inflated wheat would bo
dear. Ho also said that thero had
been u general decline In tho prlco of
wheat slnco tho year 1873, with tho
exception or tho year when tho prlco
of wheat was very high, which hoBald
was caused by tho scarcity of wheat.
If that Is so wo In our Ignorance havo
thought, might not tho low prlco this
year boon caused by the ahundanco of
wheat.
Aumsvllle Is becoming a great polit
ical center. On May 0 we had Hon,
Thos. II. Tonguo, Hon. 0. B. Moorcs
aud John Carson. In tho uvenlug
McCleary and Ryan, on the 12th Gen

DUTTEVILLE.
Politics seems to bo taking on a
kaleidoscopic aspect this year
nil through tho state of Oregon gen
erally, but In this llttlo burg wo have
been treated to something novel. At
tho Republican primary tvotno Demo
crats voted aud proclaimed their In
tention of supporting tho Republican
tlckot next month. Ono of these
men has since accepted tho nomina
tion or .Justice or tho peace on the
Democratic ticket, ami Is a candidate
for tho postolllco, a petition having
been circulated In his behalf. Or
dinarily no public Interest would at
tnch to such llttlo matters but our
present postmaster has hold tho office
for years and has given satisfaction
to all alike. As ho Is nil old man
with a family to support that are de
pendent upon him, it looks a little
like trying to tako the bread out of
their mouths In behalf of nu able
ball cd young muii who has no need
of tho business. Thero seems to bo nu
animosity directed against tho A. P.
A'h. and tholr friends and oven when
thero Is no Issuo In sight their op
ponents kcciii to 1)0 spoiling for u
fight. In this connection it may bo
aid In behalf of Frank Feller the
Democratic candidate for county
commissioner, that ho docs not sym
pathize with tho movement to oust
Mr. Jennings. On thu contrary he
cordially supports tho old man .and
Mr. Feller will got a great many voteti
in tills end of tho country, as ho de
serves to do, Irrespective of party.
Ho Is a prominent citizen of honor
able record nnd his manly attitude In
our local Issues Is winning him friends.
But nothing can Ira more despicable
than to attempt to rob a poor family
of tholr Uvlng to gratify a personal
spite against somo ono elso for which
the Injured party Is In no way re
sponsible. Tub Weathku. The metcoroloK"
