It certainly ought to be a source of great Satisfaction to the people of this county to note with what rapid strides the county is being relieved from a bunlen of Indebted ness. The semi-annual statement of the financial condition of the county appearing in these columns two weeks ago, shows that jUie affairs of the county are in a very satis fac'ory shape. The outstanding warrants with accrued Interest amount to (19,000; state tax, $4,753; county school tax, 17,472, the total liabil ities being a Utile over 160.000, but to offset tills amount there are resources which are ore to be realized to such an extent as to reduce the indebtedness to a sum not half (0 large as the statement showed the liabil ities at that time, since when the amount has been reduced several thousand dollars, and the resources yet to be depended upon are of the moat substantial character. .For instance the state tax. amounting to $4,755, has been paid; the amount of school tax, which is $7,472. will be collected ; $3,996 In hands of treasurer, applicable to payment of county warrants; current taxes, aggre gating $24,319, the greater part of which will be collected before the October state ment will be made; and other resources that can be relied upon will reduce the lia bilities te less than $20,000. There is another factor to be taken Into consideration which has so far proven source of revenue to the county, and which, In future, will play a more important part In this particular. This Is the different par eels of lands held by the county by liens for taxes, which aggregate $3,591. Of this mount it is safe to say it will all be col lected with a high rate of interest; besides delinqaeat taxes from 1887 to 1890, amount ing to$.9t604, which will be a sousce of some revenue, but which all cannot, or perhaps Will not be collected, only a small per cent of it, but all tbat u collected will be so much 'gained."'' "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty ." The present court is altogether responsible for this most encouraging and satisfactory condition of county affairs. Betrencbment lias been the constant watchword, and their careful business tact, their watchful inter est in affairs has brought about this splen did condition. Mr. Frakes. with fonr years' experience in county affairs, with Judge Doan and Mr. Peterson as close allies in this laudable undertaking, are deserving of great credit. Ano'ber two years will see the entire debt of the county wiped out if the people of the county will act with the same degree of good judgment and re-elect Phillip Frakes commissioner, as has char , scterized that gentleman's offieiai acta. The county at present is in excellent financial condition, due entirely to the careful watch fulness of the present board. Thi nomination of T. T, Geer for the gubernatorial chair -by the republican state convention means that be will be the next governor of Oregon. Mr. Geer is not a pol itician as tbat term is employed nowaday. He is a thinker of high order; a worker of unusual energy, and a man against whose personal character not a word can be said. His popularity with the people has been demonstrated repeatedly by his election to the legislature for successive terms, his election as speaker of tbat body, and the fact tbat among the republican electors at the last presidential election he palled the largest vote of any on the ticket. When Mr. Geer shall assume the duties of gov ernor, tbe people may be sure he will give an administration of which tbe state shall feel proud. He will not be controlled by political motives, a statement which can not be said concerning tbe present Incum bent of this office. Mb. J. G. Waits, of Scappoose, the can didate for county clerk on the republican ticket, has signified bis Intention, If elected, of running the office for the statutory sal ary, la a recent letter received from Mr. Watts he stated that since he first became a candidate for the place it bad ben his In tention to do the work as cheaply for the county, if elect i, M it is possible for it to Is do THE STATt TICKET. We point with pardonable pi tde to the personnel of tlie state republican ticket nominated at Astoria last week. Upon that ucet are some of the best men in the republican party in Ibis slate. It waa with commendable deliberation tbat the conven tion acted so judiciously in its selection ot men, and as a result the strongest ticket nominated in Ibis state for many years has been put before the jieorlc. In the selec tion of goverra-- alone, means lor to bal ance of the ticket an Increased vote over what it would have otherwise been. M r. T. T. Geer, as waa said of him by Mr. Tonne, of Marion comity, who made the nominat ing speech , Is a man who for 30 years has worked faithfully for the Interests ot the republican party; whose name is a house hold treasure in every section of Oregon. He is a native son of Oregon, being born in Marion county 47 vears ago. Since Joe ba came a voter his constant effort has been In behalf of the republican party, and It was due largely to the untiring ettorts of Mr. Geer thai Oregon was saved to the party in November of 1S98. Mr. Geer is of the people and front the people, being a farmer, yet a Dractical and judicious business man in all his dealings. If our opponents are looking for a man to place in public trust they ran consistently support Mr. Geer, tor he be longs to the common people. Mr. Geer will lead the republican party on to victory in t3, and Columbia county, on account of his nomination, wlil show its apprecia tion of Mr. Geer and bis sterling character by giving him and the entire ticket a hand some majority. , We, a people and party, are duly grate ful to the convention, too, for the renom- ination of Hon. Frank A. Moore for asso ciate justice of the supreme court, and as a token of esteem and confidence in which that gentleman U held by the people of this county, the vote will be proportionately In creased. Judge Moore resided here for many years, and his ability as a lawyer has few if any equals within our state. We predict for Judge Moore a large vote throughout the entire county. As to Frank I. Dunbar, the nominee for secretary of state, we can honestly say from a long personal acquaintance with the gen tleman, that he is a yonng man of sterling worth, exemplary to the extent of the word's meaning, and it elected to the honorable position to which he aspires the people Of the state of Oregon will never have cause to regret the confidence in him bestowed. As an example of his worth and the confidence he commands from the people ot bis own county we cite the fact that he has served as county clerk of Clatsop county for eigli successive years, and could easily enough had anything in the way of public favor iu that county be might have asked for. Co lumbia county will do her share, it may be depended, in giving Mr. Dunbar a hand' some majority. Of state treasurer, Mr. Cbas. 8. Moore, of Klamath, on account of not having personal acquaintance with htm, we are unable to speak so flatteringly, but coming as he did with the entire Southern Oregon delegation as his recommendation by those who know him best, his ability and fatness certainly cannot be questioned. In fact the entire ticket is highly satlafac torv to all republicans, and its election is predicted by a handsome majority. Thi state convention acted very wi-ely in renominating Mr. T. J. Cleeton for another term as prosecuting attorney ol the fifth judicial district. Mr. Cleeton, dur ing the present term of hisofflce, has proven bis ability to conduct the office in no un certain terms. Hi official acts in this county command the hearty approval of all tbe voters because of his fixed determine tioo to judiciously administer every detail in connection with his official duties. Not only is this the case, but as an attorney de siring to bring every and each offender of tha criminal code to speedy justice, be has demonstrated bis aHtity in no unmistaka ble way. In Clackamas county the same feeling exists as dees in this county. H has given entire satisfaction to the people there, and in consideration of the effl .-iency of that gentleman the people want him. Iu oureister'county of Washington there exists the same kindly feeling toward Mr. Cleeton. and the people there are eager that he should be retained. He has exercised hi powers for bringing hasty justice to those who have offended the statutes, at tbe same time exercising the utmost care that ex penses be reduced to the minimum, com mensurate, of course, to saecessfully carry ing out each function of bis important office. The earn may be said of Clatsop county, where Mr. Cleeton, through the ex ercise of commendable judgment and knowledge, baa administered bis affairs in the most judicious manner. Tbe people of tbe enure district are demanding Mr. Clee ton' re-election, and their wishes will cer tainly be regarded. . J coon Thomas A. McBkidx. judge of the fifth judicial district, was last week nom inated to succeed himself in that import ant office. Mr. Mc Bride has conducted the affairs of his office in such a manner a to command the hearty approval of the entire public. Rare baa it been, indeed, that Judge McBride has bad bis decision re versed by the supreme court, and more rare heve been tbe times Ibat bis decisions in matters of local moment bare been naught but just and discreet. His large acquaintance throughout the district over which be presides enables him to act and judge with absolnta correctness. He has proven himself a just judge In all matters coming before bim, and has conducted tbe large volume of business in tbe most judic ious manner, looking always to saving ex pense to tbe several counties where it was possible to do so. His earnestness and honestnees in the discharge of his official affairs have won for him the kindliest feel ing from parties interested on either side, and it is a common saying that all matters hare been justly judged by him. No act of the state convention gave more general sat isfaction to the voters of Columbia county than the renomination ot Mr, McBride to the office which be now so creditably fills. His popularity elicits the same feeling from the people in Clackamas county, in Wash ington county, and in Clatsop county, and We believe when the votes are counted it will be found tbat Judge McBride has been elected to succeed himself by a handsome majority. Jdst so sure as the sun climbs to tbe zenith and sink again to the shades of the western horison on the 6tb of June, just so sure will T. T. Geer be elected governor of Oregon. Farmer Geer will also be Governor Gear- ' ' '' The Colombia county republican ticket this year is an exceptionally strong one from top to bottom. There is not a man on the ticket who is not worthy the support of the people of the county. AMMO THE LOCAL POLITICIANS. It is not the purpose of this paper to give a hlocraphical sketch of all the candidate for olBc in tha county, because w could not do so and tell the truth and escape the possibility of being indicted on a Charge of libel. These remark are nqt directed en tirely to the candidates on the fusion ticket.' We shall have te be content, therefore, with briefly referring to such candidates as strike car notion of being worthy ot notice, and at the same time not being thin-skinned. There are good men among the candidates good republicans, good democrats, good populists, and good fellows generally. Some have lived In this county many years; some have held office, served the people well and faithfully, and will be elected. There have been twenty-six candidates nominated for office In this county, and there fan only be thirteen elected ,and the probability is that it will be a clean swep fortherepublicana.be cause they have been nominated by a party whose principles by a great majority ot men have become a deep conviction, not a theory. W have no wish to adopt the conditions of other nations. The protective system meets our wants. Other partiea do not dare to refer to it on the streets er in their plat form, county or state. Yet experience has demonstrated that for us. and tor the pres ent and future, it meets our wants, our con ditions, promotes the national design, and ill work out our destiny better than any other. Out of it com.s the greatest gain to the people, the greatest comfort to Lli masses, the widest encouragement for man !y aspirations, with the largest rewards, dignifying end elevation our cltiaensblp, upon which tbe safety and purity and per manency of cur pa'itUal systems depend. And what think you, reader, of a party that now adopts a state platform without one word ot praise or condemnation for a protective ,ysteui T Pendleton Republican. As am evidence of the satisfaction with the state ticket nominate ! at Astoria last week, Columbia county will give it as large a majority as it gave McKinley. MOODY fOR C0HQRESS. Tbe nominee for congress In this (second) congressional district, Mr. Malcolm A. Moody, of The Dalles, is a mu whom every republican In this district can consistently support, and a mau whom the gold standard element of the democratic party ran also vote for, feeling and knowing their confi dence in bim will never be abused. Mr. Moody, as representative in congress, wilt not only and fearlessly represent tbe senti ments ot bis constituency bnt he will per form his public duties to his tellow-citisena of every shade of political opinion. If elected be wilt be found a staunch defender of the public's interests, and a republican tt-ue to principle. New-comers Pouring; In. Every train is bringing new people to Portland now, and all good hotels are doing a brisk business. Fully SO per cent ot the new-comers say they beard of Portland and tbe Pacific Northwest through the columns of the New Year's Oregonian, and thus their eyes were opened to tbe rich resources of this section, and thev are here to verify tne published statements. They will find tbat half has not been told. Among the callers for information at the Chamber of Commtrce yesterday wae a party of six from Arkansas, wno have sold their farm there and want to buy fairly well-improved farm in Western Oregon. They will carefully go over th Willamette valley and select places near each other, and tbey will find that one year of life in Oregon is as good a a dozen in old Arkan , Missouri also furnished Oregon a few new settlers yesterday, and they have started up tbe valley to select government land in tbe Santiam region, where they will doubtless find something to suit them. Four business men who came to Portland yesterday are seeking location in nediuo sized towns, where they can embark in the grocery and furniture business, which lines thev have been in at St. Paul and Omaha They propose to either buy out store now running or start new ones. Portland and Oregon and tbe Northwest extends the glad hand to these new-comers snd invites them to take off their coats and do their share toward developing tbe coun try and share in the reward of the workers, Oregonian.

Watts, of Scappoose, asking what he would expect in the way of assistance from tbe county in running tbs clerk's office, if be were elected. the following reply was received: "ScAPFooea, April 18, 1898. "If elected to tbe office of county clerk I agree to do th esual work of that office and furnish my own depot y.for the statu tory salary. "For extra work I shall expect adequate compensation at tbe discretion of the county commissioner' court. 'Very respectfully, J. G. Watts."

Dr. Hall ha considerable property interests in Colum bia county, nd can be depeuded upon to act with commendable prudence in guard ing the county's Interests. Th nomination ot Mr.J Q Watts.of 6ca noose, tor county clerk, is another iustai e where confidence has been pr-uwrly placed. Mr. Watt ha served the people of this count v forstvt ral yrarrin a position of trust which called forth a display of his quo lilies and bines. Iu tbeottlce which he now holds, as superintendent of schools, ha has iiiant- rst a snirit of fairness to ail. and at (he same Urn- discharged his duties with much vigor. Ho is a young man of sterling qual ities, a substantial ciliaea, and a thorough business man, which should argue strongly in his favor as fit person with whom to intrust th responsible duty of guarding our county affairs against the many pitfall which lie on every hand. He has been suc cessful In bis own business adventure, and certainly can be depended upon, If elected clerk, to conduct the affairs of that Import ant office with tbe same degree of business tact which has characterized the cairylng on of his own large mercantile estabisbment. Mr. W. N. Meserve, the nominee for sher iff, is a prosperous young business man of Beaver Fall precinct, where he has resided since coming to Oregon about 18 years ago. He is a keen observer and is thoroughly identified with the interests of the county. He needs no recommendation to the people of Columbia county, because tbe position he has occupied for the past four years, county surveyor, has brought him in con tact with nearly every per-on in tbe county, and in every instance he has proven him self thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of bis most important office in a man ner highly satisfactory to all concerned. He has considerable property interests within tha county, and la thoroughly identified iih and interested In its welfare. II elected to the high ofbee lo which be as pires bis constant aim will be to administer judiciously and honestly iu affairs. In the convention' choice ot Phillip A, Frakes, by acclamation, for county com missioner, it acted with commendable judg ment. Mr. Frakes has served In that most important position for four years, and it Is greatly due to his untiring effort that tbe county today is straightening out it finan cial affair In euch a satisfactory manner Mr. Frakes has such an incite Into the county's business now, that his re-lrcllnn would mean much forth common welfare, and demonstrate conclusively that his course of retrenchment is approved by all interested persons. His position is not an enviable one. He has cares and kicks, but with commendable judgement be bas gon quietly along, striving to do his tull duty aod show partiality to none. If re-elected be may be depended noon to pursue tbe same straightforward, progressive course that has marked hi bearing during the four years he ha served Columbia county a commissioner, 'The convention' cheice of Mr. White to again serve the people of tbe county in that important work a assessor Is a manifesta tion ot their belief that he has striven at all times to do but his duty and simple justice. Th office to which Mr. White now aspire is by no means and enviable one. In bis eftort to treat all alike he has made some enemies people who think their neighbor ha been favored and themselves imposed apoa but such is not tbe case. W hon estly believe Mr. White has exercised good judgement and a spirit ot fairness in his assessment of Columbia county property, and if be ha been seemingly unjust he did it with a desire to place all on an equal foot ing. One thing can be said in Mr. White's favor: he let very little taxable property escape bis notice, and bis assessment of ft is an argument strongly in bis favor. If our people wish tbe work of the assessor's office done with accuracy, dispatch and cbeapness they will deposit their ballot on election day for none other lhan the pres ent assessor, Mr. Martin White. Mr. I. H. Copeland, tbe nominee for school superintendent, is a young man ot great promise. He is a native son of Colum bia county, a perfect gentleman, a thorough educator, and a man eminently qualified to faithfully and intelligently administer tbe affairs of that most important office. Mr. Copeland ha a thorough educaiion, pos sessing diplomas from several state institu tions of learning, and his fitness fer the V.IIUU, m-JutDIIVU-u, A a, a. ' M I.,,, we elected there is not a doubt, as expressions in this part of tbe comity are that the con vention acted most wisely in bi selection. As to tbe nominee for treasurer little needs be aid. Everybody know Dr. Edwin Ress. His fitness for the place cannot be ques tioned, and if elected Columbia county' exchequer will be guarded as carefully as though It were the personal possession of the candidate. No better selection could have been made. Dr. McLaren, of Rainier, the nominee for coroner, ha so faithfully and honorably discharged the duties of bi importrint posi tion that, as Till Mist predicted some time since, hi renoniiiiatlon would be by accla mation, and the manner in which delegate from first one precinct then another raised to second the nominations of both Dr. Mc Laren and Dr. Koss would indicate that their constituent had absolutely demanded tbe nomination of both these gentlemen, Mr. Geo. Hayes, th nominee for sur veyor, i a stranger to ns, but he has been highly recommended as a man thoroughly qualified In every detail to perform the duties ot the office with accuracy and baste. Hi nomination cam to him a but spon taneous demand, and we cheerfully recom mend bfta a he na been recommended to a.
