Hunt o f near Sublimity, who is s esndidste for County Commissioner, on the Repuldi- rnn ticket, sie sure lie is the right man for the right place, and Bet forth a few ! facts to prove their assertions. Mr. i Hunt, who is 54 years of age, and was j liorn on the farm where he now lives, i has been a resident o f the state and ' county all that time, and a life-long re publican. Hu is a man o f wide business career, ns his success has proved, lie 1 knows the needs of the farmer us well if not better than any other man in ! Marion County, While he hna been asked many times to run for the legislature and other publie offices, this is the first time he has ever ullowcd his name to be used. Hu has always been an advocate o f good roads and good schools, consistent with the growth o f the community, and is uiwsys one o f the first to hack any movement for the betterment o f all classes. He would give an administra tion ulong absolute business lines, with ntricl economy and partiality to none. ; He is not a "m achine” man, as his' esndidaev was asked hym en from all classes and all parties. No one will ; make a mistake in supporting J T. 1 Hunt for County Commissioner. “ HICKS AT COLLEGE” GIVEN BY THE Stayton High School Do )'ou enjoy a laugh? Do you long for an evening of real fun?

The engineers are working between Stayton and Mehama and there is every indication that the proposed railroad from Salem to Bend through Minto pass will be commenced during the summer, according to F. P. Farrington who has a large farm between Mehama and Stayton, and who was in Salem on business yesterday. He states that the surveyors have set stakes through his property in an east and west line and are apparently rushing the work in order that the right o f way buyers and graders may get to work soon. Hill Interest Back Line. The statements o f Mr. Farrington confirm the reports that the work o f construction on the railway will be be gun as soon as possible. The line is being backed by the Hiii intersts. ac cording to authoritative information. The engineers have surveyed a line from Salem to Stayton and will cross the mountains as soon the weather is settled. The line will use electric power—Saien Statesman. The above as will be seen is copied from the Salem Statesman, and is true in most particulars, e ie s p i that they state positively that upon Authorita tive evidence the new Salem to Bend line is a Hill project. There is just one defect in the always cock-sure sur mises o f the Statesman, they fail to give the authority o f the authoritative evidence. It may be a Hill line all right, and we don’ t care if it is, but guessing and being sure are two differ- efit things. Chief engineer Williamson has gone to Portland to finish his work, the rest o f the crew are locating the section corners, and Mr. Lynott is on the job. There is one thing that is sure about this line,every statement that Mr. Lynott has made has been fulfilled so far, and he has said repeatedly that the grade to Mill City would commence May 1st and be finished in 90 days.
