Influ ential republicans around here, seeing the fate of tiling, are looking about for a suit ble candidate for the countv judgeship, and their approval of Frank M. Kruse for that important position is almost unani mous. Mr. Kruse is well known and more over is very popular throughout the county. In this strong democratic precinct lie has been elected justice of the peace live suc cessive times, which tends to show how well he is liked in this part of the county. Should he be nominated he will carry the county by a big majority, and the people would never regret their choice, for he is well qualified to fill the position, Ervin Patterson, who, when he resided in our midst, was considered one of the prom inent young men of the neighborhood, sut few days with bis friends in Frog Pond the past week. Mr. Patterson's visits are always welcome at the Pond. Miss Ro.a Wagner is spending a few day who triends and relatives in Portland. She is eipected to return t becoming week. In spite of the continuous rains the pros pect for a big crop of wheat is very promis ing in this section. The oat crop has a verv different aspect.
