Sheriff "Boh" Hodge, of Ifeattle, ar rived at the Tortland Hotel lust night. with a big sombrero and long raincoat. When asked If he Is a candidate for the nomination of Governor of Wash lngton two years hence, he said: "Yoo, can say for me that I am cer tainly a candidate for Governor, and what Is more. I am going to be elected My nomination Is up to the people o Washington, that all. When the peo pie are through with me as a public official. I ran go back to the mines and dig coal for a living, or stoke In tho furnaces around Cape Horn. It make no difference to mo. If I make a good servant of the Deople. they will ask that I continue In office; If not they will throw me out. There Is no other way to look at It. Sheriff Hodge has had one of the most picturesque careers of any poli tician In or out of office. He was coal miner at Kenton, near Seattle. little more than two years ago. His candlJacy for Sheriff was regarded aa a Joke by politicians, but when the votes were counted Mr. Hodge led the entire Republican ticket. He waa elected by an overwhelming majority. Then a fight waa made on him by the County Commissioners and IToae cuting Attorney, ending In an Indict ment being returned against liodge on a charge of malfeasenre In office. Mr. Hodge paid no attention to the in diriment and the Prosecuting Attorney, of his own volition, moved that the case be dismissed. In the recent campaign Sheriff liodge loomed up blgK-r than ever and brought through two candidates for of fices of County Commissioners besides taking the stump for Dan Langdon, candidate for State Senator against George F. CotterllU whom King County regarded aa a permanent fixture In th Legislature. and brought Langdon through. In th campaign he paid lit tie attention to his own welfare, but i elected by 14.95 majority, or more than three votes to one. over his opponent, and his nomination was car ried by 15.41 at the primaries, in the election he led two candidates for coun ty offices, who had no opposition by 1221 votes. Now Mr. Hodge Is out for Governor In 1S1J and the old politicians are scratching their heads. "When I went before the grand Jury on that rase." said liodge last night. saw what was doing and I frankly told them I was going before a Jury higher than the grand Jury the people.

I have been asked by so many to make a campaign for Governor that I have consented to do so. and now It Is up to the people of Washington to say whether or not am worthy of the honor."

BURNS. Or., Nov. 29. (Special.) reople of the Harney Valley are much Interested In the litigation now pend ing In the Vnited States District Court, the papers having been filed at Port land, between the Pacific Livestock Company and the Sllvles River Irriga tion Company. The action was brought by the livestock company to restrain the irrigation company from maintain ing certain dam in the river for the purpose of diverting certain water soutneastwara for irrigation over the valley. Settlers on the higher levels regard the case as of the utmost importance to them. It Is their contention that If the excess waters can be stored and utilised great bodies of rich farming land will be made valuable without Interfering with the legal rights of the owners of lands on the bottoms. Surplus Put to Good Use. The Harney County News aaya of the possibilities of Irrigation by use of the excess waters of the river: "The fertility of those landa and the great possibilities of them with the use of water have been demonstrated aa remarkable and it Is the theory of the Sllvles River Irrigation Company that there la a sufficient quantity of IxioaA sur la tia givar wJUca pan CLOTHES OF THE BETTER SORT FOR AND YOUNG MEN - The sterling quality of the clothes we sell earns them a passport into the esteem of every man and young man who enjoys looking right in public QUALITY FIRST PRICE AFTERWARD Men's Suits and Raincoats $20 to $40 Young Mens Suits and Raincoats $15 to $35 Boys' Suits and Raincoats $5 to $15 GREAT REDUCTIONS IN LADIES' MAN-TAILORED SUITS AND DRESSES properly stored and carried by a canal southeast along the head of the valley, to be distributed by a system of later als, thus reaching thousands of acres of the very best land, land that when thus served would support hundreds of families in the most prosperous indus try.

"The Irrigation company is formed of men who are vitally interested In the development of Harney Valley. They are: William Hanley, heavily in terested as an owner and always labor ing for development with no other de sire than to be a participant with the rest of the community In whatever good can be accomplished; Daniel VaYlen and James Varien. successful practical farmers: J.

"Those men have put their money Into this enterprise in good faith and for the good of the country.
