this state, where h learned his trade
in tis father's place of business. When
the war broke out he enlisted in com
pany E. of the Second Oregon, and sailed
on the first expedition to Manila, where
he was taken sick with dysentery and

ROBERT KELLY,
Sheriff.
The sheriff of Wasco county, a man 36
years old on June 14. 1. came to thi
coast in the year l7ft. after the great fire
in Chicago, where he had been engaged in
the dry goods business. Owing to his
then wife s failing health, he was advised
by prominent physlc'ans lo locate on
the highlands of Eastern Oregon, and.
after viewing the country over, he took
up a farm 25 miles south of The Dalle
and devoted his attention to the farming
and horseraising business. There being
no postofnee at that tim narer than
Dalles City, he established a postoflic
and store, located and laid out the town
of Kingsley.
In the year I'M Mr. Kelly was urgently
requested, and with some reluctance gave
up his business In that vicinity, to accept
the position of deputy sheriff, which of
fice he held for four consecutive years,
during which tiro he demonstrated his
fitness for that position by straightening
up the records and collecting for th
county years of ba-k and delinquent
taxes, thereby enabling the county 10
call in quite a number of outstanding,
warrants. In he was made a candi
date by the republican party for sheriff,
and was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority at the polls on the th of June,
since which time he has discharged the
duties of his office with fearless disregard
for the lawless element. Sheriff Kelly Is
no less scrupulous on the matter of his
clerical duties, and has emnloyed the
best approved system of bookkeeping In
filing the records of his office.

1LEXHDER M. KELSAV.
t'oaaiy t lerk aal Recorder.
Alexander M. Kelsay. our present coun
ty clerk and recorder. 1 a striking ex
ample of the energetic and enterprising
Western man. so frequently commented
on by Eastern people traveling through
the Western states. As a politician and a
business man. he has made a career no
less commendable than it has been suc
cessful, and his character as a citizen and
public officer is above reproach.
A. M. Ke'.say first saw the light in Clin
ton counts-. Mo., in the year lv.. Leaving
his native state he went to California at
the age of Ij. where he remained seven
years. He came next to Cregon. settling
in Was:-o county, where he has since re
sided, following various business pursuits.
He still retains large Interests ln this
county, and in the southern portion of the
state, where he was for years engaged in
stockraising.
Mr. Kelsay received his first political
preferment in 14. when he was elected
by a handsome majority to the official po
sition he ha since filled with such credit
to himself and satisfaction to the general
pub!ic. having twice succeeded himself In
office. Mr. Kelsay has a deputy and two
assistants. He Is a thoroughly practical
man. and manifestly the right man In
the right place. His system of keeping
the county records is entirely original,
and a subject worthy of most favorable
comment. We doubt if Oregon has another
county which can boast so well regulated
a county clerk s office as this, and cer
tainty there is none superior.
A. A. JAVE.
nialrlrt Attorney.
The Dalles may be said to be especially
fortunate In the character and attain
ments of her professional men. Most of
-.hem are men of education and experi
ence, and to accord them a place among
the Mrst ln the state Is to nnVr thm sh.i
ln.ir Esieciany , tnl9 true of
the legal proftssion. which is represent I
In th s city by some of the brightest law
yers the country has produced. Among
those who have won distinction within
the space of a comparatively few y?ars.
we take pleasure In calling attention to
A. A. Jayne. our prfsent district aitorney.
Mr. Jayne is a native of Iowa, In which
state he received his early schooling. He
read law In the office of a prominent law
firm of Chicago and was admitted to the
tar in lv. In Colorado. He tlrst prac
1 eel in Arlington, where he won an n
v.able reputation for brilliancy, and later
moved to The Dall. s. where he has s.ncc
resiled. He was e!.-ett.l district attor
ney in ls;-l. and the efficiency with which
he has performed hi official duties may
best be judged from the fact that he has
twice succttcil himself in office.
Mr. Jayne is still a young man. being
yet In his thirties, and is no Jess promi
nent as a citixen than as a master of h's
profe-sslcn. He is closely Identified with
the various interests of The Dalle and
tf Was'-o county, and has done much by
his puMic spirit to promo! the general
aelfare of city, county and state.

Dr. Belle C. Rlnehart l the widow of the
late Dr. IV. E. Klneliart, before his death a

she took the regular course at the nieellcul

had a valuableexperlence tn hospital prac

was at once tendered a most gratifying prac-tle-o.
which Is the most genuine compliment
the community could pay to her talent and
skill as a physician.
Medicine and surgery seem a natural field
for woman. Her tenderness especially fit.
her for the care of the sick, while her deli
cacy of touch In operative cases renders her
of the utmost value. Bi-sldes. there Is a
modesty In woman which is fittingly sub
served by summoning a physician of her own

of the sickness requiring physical examina

woman In the noblest of professions Is self
evident. Dr. Rlnehart Is a specialist in
gynecology aud obstetrics, and number
among her patients many of the most re

treats children, us well, und Is especially

Dr. Rlnehart owns a beautiful home on the

a wide circle of admiring friends. Her
womanly sympathy for the suffering and
