One of the most spirited races for
political plums in the shape of federal
appointment for postmaster in a
Union county office, ended yesterday
when the appointment of Clyde G.
Schemer as postmaster of North Pow
der reached there. Since the resig
nation of George Hansen, the race
has been extremely warm, the Scheur
er contingent being branded as pro
gressionists, and the other factionr
as something less Indicative of "get."
The candidates have been In suspense
for several weeks, and the arrival of
the appointment has put an end to the
spirited but, as a rule, friendly riv
alry. Mr. Schemer is securing his bonds
today and will qualify at once.
Several months ago, Mr. Scheurer
moved to North Powder to make hid
permanent home and while his host
of friends here regretted his leaving,
they will now be pleased to learn that
fortune has beamed its eyes of pleas
ure of him In his new home. He is
fit In every respect, batked by a ex
emplar character, honest and upright.
North Powder is to be complimented
on its new postmaster.
