As you tear yourself away from this ofBoe. and look for other offices to inspect, you are confronted with a doorplate read- ng. ' Recorder of conveyances". Just s-ep insde and O H. Procter, who was ahrtost tne unanimous choice of tne voters at the last e;ecti:.n. will find time to lay before you. a few of the books in which are kept strict and thorough records of every re I estate transfer made in the c ;unty. Mistdkn are disastrous in this office end Mr. Pi octor prides himself on tne fact that ne or his assistant can copy the .ntricate land descriptions day after day wmiout a mistake. The modern. ook typewriter, wnicn this omce is biassed with, is manipulated by Deputy L. W. Damon. Naturally his duties do noi ena witn tnis machine and many matters of importance are daily trans- acted by tnis caoable deputy, under the supervision of Recorder Pi octor. When the consignee ano consignor drop into this office to recoid a real estate transfer, they seldom realize the amount of viork ; mat uuie transaction means to tne re corder and his deputy. You will come away feeling satisfied that the recorder is attending faithfully to the duties in the office to which he was elected. As you withdraw from the Recorder's o.tice, you naturally keep going across the corridor until you stand in the asses sor's orhce. J. H. Morton superintends here and delicite indeed are the compli cations he contends with. From this office are sent out th : tcor or m; e of deputies that assess tne property of this county, and from ih.s office these s.ma man ara sipervised. The recent ruling of the supreme court with regard to the exemp tion of personal property, caused sleep less nights for the assessor during the summer months. But he at last master ed the situation, and at the appointed time had his assessment roll ready for the board of equalization. Tne highest compliment thatcan be paid the efficiency of this county offic al. is the fact that ex ceedingly few. were the changes made by the board when that body met and went over the assessments as placed there by Mr. Morten. T. A. Rinehart. with his thoro knowledge of bookkeeping. , presides in tnis omce as depu'y and his ; work is always abovj par. As you close the door behind you, you are standing before the the office of Coun:y Superintendent of Schools, E. E. Bragg. Be sure and listen to the story of tne superintendent for it is interesting in the extreme tj know how the coming generations, the ones that will eventually control the affa rs of this county, the little tots that I. ve on the farms of the! valley, .are etuca'cd The work before ; this official is in some respects, the most : responsible of sny. While the county's ; currency is not trusted in his hards, he ' has a vastly mote important field, thaf of properly educatirg the young. You' will seldom find him there though, for he is cut in tne c;untry mingling with the rural schools and offering suggestions as tothe best way to tech tne iittie fellow ; now in his knee breeches, but wno will j sometime sooner or later, face the bigj wide world, and the way he does this i one act of his life, depends largely on his early training and education. He will j tell you how the state of Oregon is assist- j ing in producing literature for the young ; that is above suspecion and that will do! much to bring about the end towards rts , - ; V1 9 t 'I' THEY ARE AT THE (OMIT USE which he strives every hour, and the end for which men even greater than he have grown gray haired over, that of properly educating the rural scholor. "Jails and state prisions are the comp lements of schoois; So many less you r-ave of the latter, so many more you must have of the former." Horace Mann. , During your interview with the school superintendent you might have noticed by looking thru the glass door, a sign read ing ' County Treasurer." Here you will naturally go next and interesting too, will be your visit. John Frawley is the man whom the county chose to handle its act ual dollars and cents that this county re ceives thru its various sources. System, characterizes every entry in this office and the thousands of dollars t.-.at are in trusted to his care are always kept track When your interview has closed her ! you find it necessary to climb the broad stairs before you find other offices. On reaching th head of th stairs, you will find "County Judge" written on th door to your right. You don't have to knoc k for the latch string is always out in Judg Henry' office. You will find him inside, ready to us his conservative judgement on matter that com under hi jurisdiction. Few question of im portance to th county there are, that do not on time or other, com under his direct supervision. It i safe to say that there are score of questions coming up for settlement, daily, that requires cool deliberation, that the public is entirely ig norant of. Matters of probite, wher . the father and motherless child must have his proper allotment, also th car of dependent, old, decrept and other s mhr cases too numerous to mention, com up frequently and th Judg must us much descrimination in disposing of these cases. Questions of roads, poor houses, poor farms and other county properties must be dealt with. The Judge has as hit ad visors, two competent men, J. M. Selder, of Cove, and Benjamen Brown, The integrity of these two men does much to alleviate the duties of the County Judge. It is but a few steps until you stand before the desk of James Qilhain, County Clerk for Union county. Many are the duties this offbial has to deal with. Practically every document in the court (Continued on Page 6) THIS IS THE LAST CHANCER . , 10,000 SHARES - of Aurelia Mining Stock are now offered at 15c per share. When this block is sold no more will be offered and the price will be advanced to 20c per share. One year ago the stock sold for 5c, today at 15c. You will have the same chance now to double your money in the next year. The Company has decided to sell this much of its treasury stock to clean up its debts. It has cost slightly more than was calculated to install its present plant and build roads, etc., and the Company is desirous of keeping the Aurelia out of debt. Sold for this purpose and only for this, the Company offers the above treasury stock. Buy now if you desire a holding with us. The property is well enough known to need no mention htre. But will say that our mill run on the ores was a success, a was show by the assays return. Tailings taken every hour showed $2.00 per ton, and the concentrates assayed $223.55. This is extra for a start up. For Stock J.A. THRONSON or J.L CITY BREWERY JULIUS ROESCH, Proprietor.
