With th clone of both the De mocratic ami Republican conven tions, tin two predominating part ies have placed their candidates in the field for the county office. The voters later on will have the opportunity to pick their men from either party, not so much tor their party affiliations as from the find ing that worth and merit consti tute the two cardinal principles upon which county election should lie based. Crook county has seldom been known to cast straight tickets when it came to a choice of candi dates to fill the county offices. The rulo will in all probability hold true this year and election day find both Democrats and Republi cans victors in the race for the plums. A matter of strength with a candidate, whichever party be clings to, has generally been in the past the open sesame t the office ha wa9 seeking, and neither party can say this year that this or that ticket will be elected. For it wont. The party in Crook county which could elect every nominee on it: ticket would be an ideal one in deed, and in its ranks would be found the strongest men froiuboth sides of the political fence. Nothing short of a fusion ticket would accomplish an end of that kind, and the result would likely be highly satisfactory to as many Re publicans as Democrats. So the fact remains that in June both Democrats and Republicans will be counted in as the winners. It is therefore not so much the matter of party connections as the choosing of the best men for their respective offices. Able men, cap able ones, are the only ones want ed. And with every office filled with one whose capabilities, integ rity and business principles are recognized and appreciated it would be impossible for the county to suffer from a stroke of bad gov ernment. Good government and progressive ways and means at this time of the county's rapid development are both essential and paramount to all other phases : of the matter. The men who stand i r i I L J for a future are the men wanted, 'ri irrespective of their party. Sack,- payers and who have it. No cot i-, t '' vention ever did so-u ell except f Out of the Onion when stimulated by popular ini-' patience, and that was about once; in a decade. ! The mauhine politicians don't j like this primary law, but they never have. They fought it from the first and continue to sneer at it. But it must be jinked bv its rosults. Two vears ago it redeem- the city council from the dutch es of the- street railway company and this year it has insured an other honest assembly and has given the oppjitunitv for a much more satisfactory board of alder men than the present one. No special interest can manipulate the people. The people may make mistakes, but if they do they can correct thein. I'nder the conven tion system they were compelled to choose whoever was offered to thein, and even after his unfitness! was shown a dangerous alderman I or assemblvman was often thrust I loivn the popular throat. Jf he! was a good party man be could do i what he pleased with the interests of the public. If he "stood in" with any special interest and had ; access to its campaign fund it only i made him a more desireabie ean-j didate.

Morden arrived in the city from Portland Wednesday and lett on the noon stage for Rend where he enters the engineering forces of the Desohuti Irrigation company. Mr. Morden was form erly the draughtsman for the Col umbia Southern Irrigation comp any when they liegan work in that section two years ago. During the recent high water, an enterprising ranchman up the Ochoco conceived the idea of placing a large rope first around ti bunch of Willows then around his body and then wading out in the stream to placo brush in un advantageous position to save the batiks from being washed away. The thought gave birth to im mediate action and his life saving apparatus was rigged up and he braved the stream. But no sooner had his feet touched the swift waters than they were swept from under him with the force of an in fant tornado. After he had dangled half in air, half in water for about an hour some obliging neighbors came to the rescue and pulled him ashore somewhat the worse for his unexpected bath. iWurzwollcr O Thomson ilAl 5 firs I M m ill I 1 ft Ml oe rnocvi e.
