Beard Lived ia Tbl Cttaty lor Uaay
Year
The inunicipl court ol Portland
probably saved Myron Bard, a
former Waiihington county roan,
from the whipping pott, by sen
tencing him to lour months hard
labor on the rockpile at Kelly'e
Butte. Beard wat arrested for
cruelly beating bit wife, in Port-
laud, ami on Monday ol tbi week
wa brought More Judge Cameron,
who gave him the above sentence.
Beard did not bear a savory repu
tation when he resided in this
county. He, with his family, oc
cupied a house near the race track,

in llil'tbon. and in the Hanks m-c-

E. B. TONGUE A CANDIDATE
K. B Tongue, of thi city, is the
only candidate in this county, so
far ah beard from, lor the republi
can primary nomination for Dis
trict Attorney, and the Atgus,
therefore, feelt free to recommend
him for that important position.
Hit ability to 611 the office is un
questioned. And the further fact,
that it it now Washington county's
turn to have the office, makes him
at once the logical and legitimate
candidate for Iho position.
Ibe following ttate offices are
now held by reeidenU of Astoria:
C. W. Fulton, I nlted Ktte Snitor;
11. O. Vaailuacn, Matter FUh Warden;
Allretl C. Kinner, Member Mite Hoard
ol llf.ltb; K. K. Wallace, Member of
lUrber' Hoard of Kiimioert; Saniael
Klniore, Hoard of ComuilMiooer of the
Port of Columbia; Prank J. Taylor, A.
W. Pendleton, Albert C. Rosa, being
three out of four member constituting
the Stale Hoard of Pilot Commlatlonert;
Oswald Went, a member of the Railroad
Conimiaaiunera; V. I. Dunbar ha jut
finished two term of the office of Secre
tary of State, nd Harrlaon Allen was
elected to two term of tb ollice of Dis
trict Attorney, the second term expiring
on the 1st of next July. When Mr.
Allen was first elected to the office, the
term of tid ollice wa for a period of
two years, but during hi term it wa in
creased to four, and Mr. Allen wa there
fore elected to what wa equivalent to
four term of the office, as the same
wat held by Mr. Cleeton, Mr. Barrett,
Mr. Mc Bride, and other.
It has always been the custom among
the counties, to allow the District Attor
ney' ollice to go In rotation to the dif
ferent counties comprising the district,
It is now Wsahington county's turn to
have it. Washington county' list can
didate only had it four years; Clatsop
county' last candidate bad it for eight
years, ud thtrclore It would teem that
Clatsop county, on this account alone,
has uo claim to the office at thi time.
Washington county ha always stood
loyally by the caudiilatee of Clatsop
county for this office, and it wa the sup
port of Washington county tbat gave
Mr. Allen the ollice in the first iustance.
This county always has supported Mr.
Kulton and Mr. Duubar also, and Wash
Ineton county certainly has a right to
expect assistance at this time from the
Irtentls 01 mes gentlemen, in weir own
countv.
The office of District Atterney il get
ting to be t very important one, and
ought to be filled by a lawyer of consid
erable experienc, and it la said that
Mr. Mclue has never practiced law in
his life, until he received the appoint
ment a Mr. Hedges' assistant, a few
mouths aito. and the voter of Washing
ton County should see to it that their
own County land thi nomination, and
they oui(ht to impress upon Clatsop
county that they expect her assistance.
E. a. Tongue has tiled wun we secre
tary of State, his declaration of nomina
tion, and which contains, among other
things, a short, compact platform direct
to the point, winch reads a iouows;
"If I am nominated and elected I will,
durinir mv term of office, honeatlr, vig
orously nd impartially perform all the
omclal amies oi me omi-c umnii
Attornev. without fear or favor, endeav
oring always to accord to every Individ
ual, irrespective of party, politic or
personalities, a square deal under the
law, keeping always uppermost in my
mind the Interest of the tax-payers in
said District and State."

ladnttry
"The dairy products of Oregon
ought to increase from $17,000,000
in 1007 to $50,000,000 in another
ten years," says W. L. Criseey, of
the Oregon State Dairy Association
in his circular issued this week,
"and it is our united efforts as an
association that will accomplish
this." Mr. Crissey is seeking to
add new members to the associa
tion. The dues are only $1 a year,
and that is the only fee. Wash
ington county is easily the greatest
milk producing county in the state,
and the dairy business is making
wonderful strides forward. Its
two large condensed milk plants
consume most of the milk output
at preeent, but there are still other
channels in which any surplus
milk could be utilized. The dairies
in this county are continually in
creasing, and the business is now
the leading one here.

The Face of the Prescription
Dallas, in our neighboring coun'
ty, Polk, haB decided to have 1
fruit cannery. Ths cannery will
be operated on the co-operative
plan, Washington county ought
to have a fruit cannery. Why can
not the granges of this county take
hold ol the matter, and organize a
grangers' co-operative cannery?
They would make it go, as they
already have the organization to
start with. The establishment of
a cannery would further stimulate
the raising of Bmall fruits in this
county. Polk county has a large
aoreage in Logan berries, and
cannery could run on those berries
the greater part ol the season, with
profit. Strawberries is another
profitable orop for canning pur
