When asked whero he stood upon certain cucstlons, ho said: "I believe every cundlduto for un Important office should come out enrly so na to give the people 111 every county of tho stuto nn opportunity to look up his past record us a cltl ion nnd business man." When asked where ho stood upon certain quest Ioiib which are Important to the people of tho Stuto of Oregon, he gnve out tho following: Inheritance Tax. "I am In favor of a good, strong, equitable Inheritance tux, and that the present Inheritance tux law should ho amended so ns to greatly Incrense ' tho amount of revenue to ho derived I therefrom, and the whole of the ln-l herltuiice tax should go into the public ! school fund of tho county In which the property of the deseased Is lo cuted."

"Ibelleve In a permanent Improve ment of our public highways, under rules and regulations properly made and followed, so that tho best results can - be obtained from the funds ex pended therefor, and when the funds raised for road purposes are properly expended and a good permanent rond Is constructed, the tax payer feels that ho has mndo a good investment, and tho comfort enjoyed while travel ing on a good public highway and the enhancement of tho value of all real property adjucnut thereto are the divi dends derived from tho Investment." (Woodburn Independent. Marlon Co.) Grant B. Dlmlck. of Oregon City, formerly a native of Marion County has announced his candidacy for Gov ernor. He comes out early, probably, so that his friends and he has num bers of them throughout the State will not make arrangements to sup port others. This is a good, square plan. There Is something manly and honorable about It. Mr. Dimick al ways did believe in being open .and above board. He Is a man of the people, comes from good, honest stock, possesses not a grain of hypocrisy in his makeup, and Is a man of marked ability. He has hosts of friends in this section who will support and work hard for him. JUDGE DIMICK FOR GOVERNOR. (Sunday Welcome. Portland.) The many friends of Grant B. Dim ick, the popular nnd efficient County Judge o( Clackamas County, are boom ing, him for Governor nt the coming state election, and the Welcome takes this occasion to endorse him for that office. He Is a man of great executive ability and Is a conscientious and obliging official. As a matter of fact Judge Dimick is one of the few of our officials who realizes he Is a nubile servant. Not only In his home County, but throughout the entire State Judge Dimick is very popular, and if he con cludes to ask for the Republican nom ination for Governor at the primaries, he will have the best chance of any one yet named. Judge Dimick has always been a loyal Republican and his political record Is without a blemish. What the Press throughout the State are laying about Judge Dimick' candidacy: of the largest majorities ever given an Initiative measure, and while thore muy bo some Imperfections in tho law, thoso Imperfections are not of vital Importance, It Is far bettor to pluco tho responsibility of nominating candi dates to represent a political party on the membership of thnt party, than on a few skillful and well trained poli ticians." nounced his candidacy for Governor He Is a native son of Oregon, nnd his friends feel that should he be nomi nated, his political opponents cannot repent the disgraceful tactics used so effectively against Dr. Wlthycombe in the last campaign, by reason of his having been born In England nnd only recently naturalized. Mr. Dimick is 40 years of ago and a self made man. FIRST CANPIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IS ANNOUNCED. (Wallowa Chieftain, Wallowa County.) Grant B. Dimick. for the Inst three yenrs County judge of Clackamas County, and for live years mayor of Oregon City, has announced his can didacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Oregon, after being urged by many people from all parts of the State to make the run. His friends feel that should he be the nominee of the party of his adop tion, no Issue could ever bo made atout his being of foreign birth, or about his true Americanism, since he was born on a farm on Pudding River, in Marlon County, Oregon, the son of one of the most prominent G. A. R. men who ever drew sword In his Country's behalf. He was admitted to the bar of Oregon In 1895, and lo- (Continued on Page 4.) ' ' .... . . v " r ... - A LINN E.

The speaker gave some more fact and figure and stat ed that In Clackamas County there are only 1000 bogs though the county baa an area of 16,000 square mile. 'I am going to give you a name, exclaimed Dr. Wetherbee. "I am go ing to call Clackamas County the Gem of the Willamette," and the audience cheered. C. C. Chapman, head of the Chap man Advertising Company, of Port land, gave the Teal booster talk of the evening. He said the early pio neers, the boy of "43 and '46 were the first real boosters and the people of the present generation could do no less than emulate their example. M Chapman said the tongue of Immigra tion is setting In thla direction and then he commenced to boost good and hard and called for the real backbone of a publicity campaign. The Bank of Oregon City was the first to respond with a subscription of $800. payable $50 monthly. The fol lowing firms and business and pro fessional men quickly got Into the band wagon, as follows: Huntley Bros. Co., $240; Frank Busch. $180 J. E. Hedges, $120; G. B. Dlmlck, $120 Jones Drug Co., $120; T. P. Randall, $C0: Oregon City Enterprise, $60 Oregon City Courier. $60; John W. Loder, $60; Oregon City Ice and Cold Storage Works, $60: O. D. Eby, $60 Dr. A. L. Beatie, $60; George Randall, $24; D. C. Ely. $24; George V. Ely, $24: s. o. Diiiman, $12. All of these subscriptions are pay able monthly. The Jones Drug Com pany offered half of the gross receipts from Its soda fountain on every Fri day during June and July, in addition to its cash subscription. County udge Dlmlck urged the Commercial Club to have the back yards of the city, bordering on the line of the Southern Pacific cleaned up. The fund that was secured Tues day night will give the publicity com mittee an excellent start and the work will be pushed. Oregon City and Clackamas County have been dormant long enough and the people have tak en a brace and the real boosting of tne resources and advantages of this locality will now begin In earnest. 2,000 PEOPLE SEE DRIVING MATINEE GREAT CROWD GOES TO CANBY TO WITNESS FINE HAR NESS RACES.
