UIXS THE CAMPAIGN
BE
Will Ai Yoters for Ifc-Eloctlon
Standing on Official Record
The first man to file bis nominating
papers In Union county was County
Clerk Ed Wright, and by bo doing, he
opened the campaign for this year.
Mr. Wright will ask for re-election
purely on the record he has made as
En official. Not only need the term
he Is now serving be used In Judging
whether he should be retained in his
present position, but be is willing that
his career as deputy before he ascend
ed to the office, be also scrutinized.
The general opinion prevails that
Ed. Wright will not bare opposition in
This campaign. He was born In Un
ion, has been Identified with the
county every day of his life, and It is
f ratifying to his trends to be able to
ttate that there are no black spots on
bis career. He comes from a strain
of blood that has done a great deal to
ward building this valley and Eastern
Oregon, hence the large number of
trtends woo are eninuwasuc in "uia
upport
Officially, th county clerk's office
has never been better handled in the
eopnty's history, according to able
critics, than It has under the admin
istratlon of Ed Wright The courtesy
he exetends to all patrons is well
known from one end of the county to
the other, and no person ever made an
Inquiry there who did not receive
prompt and careful consideration. i
Another feature, which is believed
to have a strong bearing on Mr.
Wright's candidacy is the economy
be has practiced saving the county
nany dollars on supplies and in con
ducting his department

PROF. II ALIO WELL OF LEWISTOX,

Sws Proems on Every 81de Has
Good W ord for La Grande, Also
Prof. II. A. Hallowell, dean of the
faculty at the Idaho State Normal, at
Lewiston, returned yesterday to La
Grande, from a trip Into the Wallowa
country. Prof. Hallowell visited En
terprise, Joseph and Wallowa Lake.
Speaking of the valley, he said:
This was my first trip into that
country, and it was a revelation to
me. Not only did I enjoy the scenery,
but the general appearance of pros
perity on every hand, Impressed me
favorably. .
There is a fine county high school
building at Enterprise, and another
High school is now being built at Jos
eph. Both of these towns should
grow rapidly. I might say the same
of Wallowa, ' for I understand new
lumber mills have recently been built
there. There Is a rumor that the
Crelghton 300 acre ranch near Joseph,
Is to be divided into ten acre farms, i
If this is done Joseph will benefit im
mensely. "AH of the valley, it seems to me,
is In a sense tributary to La Grande.
For that reason, If for no other, La
Grande itself will develop wonderful
ly within the next two or three years,
for the .continued prosperity of, the
valley is unquestioned.
"La Grande is surely progressing.
The new $75,000 High school building
will, when completed, be a model of
its kind. I had the pleasure of going
over the building, as It now stands,
with Supt. Stout, who explained to me
the general plant. The citizens of La
Grande are to be congratulated upon
the enterprise and Interest in educa
tional affairs."
