the County Judgeship
LANDSLIDES WERE A SURPRISE

Trtaavtr Spriafcr Carrie Crvak
The election Monday proved to
be one of the most strenuous ever
held in the county. The race for
sheriff and the local option issue
added eo many elements of un
certainty that all forecasts were
found to be wide of the mark.
While the race between Elkins
and Congleton for sheriff was con
ceded to be a close one nobody
ever dreamed of the landslide in
Elkins' favor. With but one email
precinct to hear from Elkins has a
total ot 1187, and Congleton 545.
This is the higbet vote ever given
to a candidate for sheriff in this
county.
The biggest surprise of the elec
tion was the result of the local
option vote. The leaders on both
sides of the contest were not pre
pared for euch an avalanche. But
one small precinct in the county
went "wet." The vote stands For
prohibition, 1128; against, 542.
Prineville, it was thought, would
surely stand by the irrigationists,
but alas, it wheeled into the "dry"
column by a majority of three.
Crook county is now on the "dry"
list and after July 1st all good
citizens will have to wash the
alkali out of their threats with
good pure water. We are inform
ed by Judge Bell that he will issue
an order to prohibit the sale of
liquor on June 12, or eleven days
after election, and that order will
take effect July 1st.
II. C. Ellis of Bend, was elected
county judge over his nearest op
ponent, Jas. T.Robinson, by 347
votes. From the unofficial returns
Mr. Ellis has a majority of 63 of
all the votes cast and a plurality
of 347 over Robinson.
it. A. ford was elected county
school superintendant over W. R-
Cook by a majority of 158. The
precinct to be heard from will not
materially affect the result.
Fred A. Rice won out for countv
surveyor by 253.
J. D. LaFollette was re-elected
county assessor by 291 votes over
his nearest competitor, F. E. Day
ton of Laidlaw.
James Rice of Hay Creek had a
walk-away for commissioner. He
received the highest number of
votes of any man on the ticket,
excepting Warren Brown, the lat
ter being re-elected county elerk
with over 1500 votes.
Representative Belknap received
a big vote for his second term.
G. Springer of Culver stands a
good chance of representing the
17th senatorial district at the next
session of the legislature. He car
ried his county by a majority of
2S5.
For prosecuting attorney of the
7th judicial distridt Fred W. Wil
son of Wasco, beat his opponent,
John Gavin, 299 votes in this
county. As both men are from
Wasco county their election will
now depend upon the home vote.
For United States senator Gov
ernor Chamberlain defeated II. M.
Cake in this county by 41 votes.
For representative in congress
from this district W. R. Ellis of
Umatilla county received 1128
votes, and John A. Jeffrey of Mult
nomah county 410.
Ralph Sharp was elected justice
of the peace for the Prineville pre
cinct.
Booklet for Sheepman
A little booklet just issued by
W. II. Lytle, state sheep inspector,
and Dan P. Smythe, secretary of
the board of Sheep commissioners,
gives some useful information for
itockmen. The state is derided in
to three district for the inspection
of stock. This part of Oregon is
in the second district. A. L. Mack
intosh of Paulina, is vice-president
of the state board. Among the
deputy state sheep inspectors are
found C. W. Starr of this place
and James R!cs of Haycreek.
Claude Hickox is the federal in
f pec tor that ban been stationed
here. He baa been busy over the
county for some time attending to
the various duties connected with
his office.
TRADE AT HOME
Again we have the glib-ton gued
seller of buggies and hacks in our
midst and from the number of
vehicles brought here should judge
that this field is being worked to a
frazzle. It ia said that eleven bug
gies were sold last week around
Redmond alone.
Now, while it is a good thing to
enjoy every convenience on the
farm and every rancher has an un
deniable right to buy where he
pleafes yet a great injustice ia be
ing done the local dealer when you
place your order with these ped
dlers who have no interest in the
community. Theee oily-tongued
fellows spot the man they want to
sell to and seem to have no trouble
in landing him. All you have to
do is to make out a note for a
couple of years drawing 8 per cent
interest and presto you have a new
buggy. Very simple and very easy
until pay-day comes around.
Then it is quite different. Instead
of taking your own time to meet
the obligation as led to believe by
the salesmen, these notes have
been placed in the bands of a third
person and you are told to come
up and settle. No extension of
time will be granted.
Now its your time to sweat.
Your bills with the home mer
chants are falling due and you
have not the cash to liquidate.
You must either mortgage or lose
your credit. From the number of
these notes that are in the bands
of local attorneys for collection we
should judge that many a rancher
was induced to buy that which be
could not afford and for which he
ia not prepared to pay.
It is good business sense every
time to trade at home. You are
then dealing with a man who is
identified with the community;
who makes bis home here. He is
the man that help3 Bupport local
institutions. His money goes to
foster the church and the school.
He buys your produce and when
you get in a tight place and need
accommodation he is ready to
grant it. What do you get from
these itinerant peddlers? Wait
until your note falls due and see.
For Sale.
