Mr, Conover will continue the business in the future, and respectfully solicits the generous patronage which the office has had bestowed upon it during the past. THE TICKETS COMPARED Both the republican and democratic par-: ties having nominated their tickets for the " ensuing county election we give our readers a: brief comparison of the merits of each candidate as it seems to appeal to the aver age mind. FOR-STATE. SENATOR. S. G. Thompson; of Monroe; tie demo. cratic nominee is said to be a good repre sentative citizen of -f his locality. - He is comparatively little known m the country at large; he has resided in the county, only few years. C. R Crosno of Toledo, republican candi date, is a well known citizen of many-years residence in the county. He has had con siderable legislative experience and faith fully served his county in the legislature last. term,. The-interests of clean legisla tion in general and of Benton county -in particular will be placed" in his hands. It is doubtful if another person eojaally well posted on ' the needs of the' county and as capable of working for them could hare been placed in nomination.. ' FOE " REPRESENTATIVES. . J. W. Foster of Willamette, and B. E. Gibson of Soap creek, both farmers, receive ed the democratic nomination. Both are young men, too" young to be sacrificed thus early. Each is tolerably well acquainted in the valley. Neither have had experience in legislative matters and if elected' will have the distinguished privilege of making their maiden efforts in a republican legis latnrc. M. T. Starr of Monroe, and C. E. Moor of North Corvallis, the republican candi dates, are quite well known in the county. Both are farmers." Mr. Starr is an unusually intelligent young man, faithful to his party and well informed as to the necessities of Benton county. If elected -he will reflect credit on his party aad subserve the best interests of the state in his capacity as rep resentative. C. E. Moor is too well known to require an introduction. Year in and year out, in the annals of the republican party in Benton county and from the time when the "memory of man runneth not to the contrary" has he stood by the party; always on the alert to keep the enemy within his own territory.- Mr. Moor is a farmer and is a man of unusual ability for representative honors. He is a man of large experience and Bound judgment and if elected will serve the people well. FOB COUNTY JUDGE. W. S. Hufford, republican nominee, is an attorney of Newport and has practiced his profession in the county for a number of years. He has filled several minor offices in times past and if elected will make a good judge. " " . , E. Holgate, the present incumbent, was placed in nomination by his party to be his own successor, which is an evidence that they desire his re-election. As a faithful guardian of the affairs of probate he has had no superiors. - . , " ": FOR SftEBWP. " Wm. Mack ay, democrat, the present in cumbent, is re-nominated. He seems to have given satisfaction- to his party as sheriff which is attested by his re-election to a second and re 'nomination for a third term. W.A.. Jolly, of Philomath) precinct, is republican candidate and is a good citizen, of good habits and sound principles, and is well qualified to fill the responsible office of sheriff for the next two years. He is a farmer by occupation and has always1 been an ardent republican and should be elected. FOB COUNTY CLERK. J. J. Bryan of Philomath, present school supt., is the democratic candidate. Mr. Bryan is a yon tig man of good moral habits and general! known in the county. B. W. Wilson, better know as "Bush," was unanimously re-nominated by the re publican con ven tiou for re-election. It is unnecessary to state that ke is fully qual ified to conduct the duties of the clerk's office,' and that he is the popular choice is well proven from his past record. FOR ASSESSOR. " ' s E. Skipton, democrat, and present in cumbent, was re-nominated and is consider ed by his party a strong man on the ticket; But the republicans think-that their candi date, -" , Willis Vidito of Alsea, will be the next assessor, Mr. Vidito is a man of sound ju Igment and an Untiring worker. If re elected, the taxpayers may expect just and equitable assessment throughout the county. FOB- COMMISSIONER. Wesley Hinton of Monroe, and a farmer by ocenpatiou is the democratic candidate. Mr. Hinton is credited with being a man of good judgment and ordinary ability. Frank Chambers, republican nominee, is a farmer in King's valley and is well qnal ified to act as commissioner. He is success ful in business for himself and if elected as commissioner will demonstrate to the peo pie of Benton county that they have made a wise selection. - FOR TREASURER. M. P. Burnett ' of Corvallis, the demo. cratic nominee, is a young man of good habits and ability. He is not verj well known out of bis precinct but will prob ably carry the strength of his party. E. M. Belknap of Corvallis, the republi can candidate is an old resident of Corvallis and a well-deserving man for this office. If elected, the public cash will be in safe hands. He is a man of unquestioned in tegrity and loyalty to his party, and is con sidered to be a strong man on the ticket. FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Miss Nettie Spencer wilt wave the demo cratic banner in this contest ad hi her- nomination we have an experiment.- We will not venture to psognosticate the result Miss Spencer isa teacher of some reputa tion. . Hor opponent, Prof."' W. E. Yates, prin cipal of the public schools of Corvallis, will carry the republican colors and is fully com petent to fill the office of school superin tendent. He has had several years experi ence in educational work, and is well known to be one of the leading instructors in the state. He U an indefatigable worker and will administer th functions of super intendent, if elected, with credit to himself and profit to the ruing generation... FOR SURVEYORS A; L. Porter, . democrat, wns.- are-nominated with slight opposition, -and while he has served one term already to-he satisfac tion of all concerned." , We think that Victor Hurt, republican 1 candidate, will poll a larger, vote, both ouH account of his well known' ability as a sur veyor and by reason of his individual popu larity. He is a strong, man.- ggjg 3h E33S2 CHANCER D0FT . 6)0F seeuRiRe a homg at prgsgnt jjn pRiees THE FINEST RESIDENCE SITE ADJOINING THE HI CI TI.0N Is more than ever attracting the attention of home-seekes and in vestors, and at no distant dav is destined to become the FAVORITE RESIDENCE PROPERTY.

CENTRAL PARK, IN THE CENTRE-1 THIS MMM Is being fenced by order of the City Council. TOO choice shade trees have been planted an& walks and drives will be laid out. This Park will in a few years be a pride to our citizens. FOUR NEW STREETS ARE BEING OPENED, Twelve residences are already contracted for and -others will rapidly follow. It is a fact that observation will prove, thafc a suburban home on or near a street railway is considered more desirable for residence than a never so , s ' . . r agreeable city dwelling.
