PALLAS. Or.. Nov. 1. Special.)
ThouRh the primaries do not come until
next Spring, the bee is beginning to
bus In Polk County already. The an
nouncement by D. M. Hampton, of Mon
mouth, chairman of the Republican
county central committee, that the com.
mitee would hold a meeting In thla city
soon brought to the surface the em
bitlona of several would-be public ser
vants. It is no secret that Fred J. Holman.
present County Treasurer, will make
an effort to capture the Republican
nomination for County Clerk. He will
probably be opposed by H. C. Duns
more, of Independence. In the pri
maries of 114 Mr. Holman was opposed
by Mr. luinsmore for the nomination
for the ofrice or county i reasurer.
It la intimated that Asa R. Robinson,
present County Clerk, will be the Dem
ocratic standard bearer. Mr. Robinson
has held the office for one term and is
now on his second term.- He ran on a
platform calling for two terms only,
and upon this principle he wsa elected.
Ifoarever. lacking; other avanaoie ma
terlal. tha Democrats ara fiaTurlnir on
puttlnr him forward for a third term.
.For County School Superintendent H.
C Seymour. Incumbent nad now com-
nteiino- his second term, will undotibt-
a' ba lha KeDubllcan nominee. The
orrica of Treasurer may no begging,
ovlnt to the cut In sslsry to u.
However. J. IL Brown, of ball treea
la beln urged to make the race for the
R.nubllcan nomination. Mr. Brown Is
a member of the Republican county
central committee. For County Asses
sor no one has been named as yet,
thouxh It Is certain that Frank Meyer,
remocratlc Incumbent, will be the nom
inee of tha iHtmocralic party. In the
election of lll he was elected by a ma.
Jorlty of three votes.
Another bis florht promises to de
velop over the office of County Com
missioner. The term of George A.
Wclis. Republican, expire next year.
Mr. Well wsa one acainst whom a re
call was kBltated sonic time a no, the
recall movement bring- directed aicalnst
the whole County Court. It la said that
Mr. 'Well will run aaaln in order to
teat out the strength of the recall acl
tat Ion.
Tha ofr.ee of County Attorney will
be before the voter for the first time
In this county. J. K. Sibley, incumbent,
and a Democrat appointed by ex-Governor
West, haa not signified hia in
tention of running, though it is be
lieved that ha will be the Democratic
nominee. That the Republican will
put forth a candidate Is without ques
tion. Several Republican have been
mentioned In this connection, among
them bolnsr B. F. Swope. of Indepen
dence: lidward F. Coad. U. O. Holman.
K.dward K. Ptaseckl and Walter L.
Tooxe. Jr.. of Dallas.
Governor Lister and Auditor C. TV.

Board of Finance, approve the plan.

COLUMBIA RIVER RISING

but
VAXXCOl-VEB, Wash.. Nov. 20.
(Special.) The recent continued rains
have swelled the Columbia River until
it 1 about live feet above zero, but the
Vancouver ferry between Vancouver
and H.--.yden Island is having no trouble
In making- tie landings.
The rain Is welcome as there was a
shortage, and the trure growers es
pecially are pleased with the weather
conditions. Work on the Columbia
River Interstate Bridge is not being de
layed. Rancher Sues Convicted Thieves.
ROSEBURG. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Just as Joe West and Charles Kriggs
were being led from the County Jail
yesterday preparatory to being taken
to the Penitentiary at Salem, they
were served with copies of a civil com
plaint filed against them by W. R. Vin
son, a Coles Valley rancher. In the
complaint Mr. Vinson asks to recover
the sum of $150.. which he alleges is a
reasonable price for the three cattle
which were stolen by Brlggs and West
prior to the time of their arrest a few
weeks ago. Briggs and West were
convicted of stealing the cattle and
were sentenced to indeterminate terms
of from one to 10 years in the Penitentiary.
