CITY AND COUNTY BATURDAN a I'll! I Hi CANDIDATE OK IliK FKOIXH. A Self Mde Msii.-K irntU the lloi.iy Tnt Secured lib Kducatlou. William Il'ifus K-ug, tho nomi nee for governor ' tho IVopIe's Democrtic Bilvir Uepuhlican prtlei, in this state, was Loro ncur Wall Walln, WiisMnjjton, Oct ", 1861, of pioneer parentage, and w.is brought up on a farm nay the Baker City Democrat. The rugs' d life on a frontier f irm tended to develop the cbarat-ristics of hon est jr, courage, self reliance and strong individuality, with which he waa endowed by nature, and which at the early ai;e of thirty three, has made him one of the foremost younij mm within tin atate of Oregon. lie Istrucly what might he called a self-made man, for ho had curved his way, iractically untid d and alone, beset by obstacles, privation and trial which would have over whelmed any other Jena favorably endowed by nature. In every position in life, whether a farmer' boy, laboring to earn suflkieiit money to pay for his tduc.ition ul college, before tho bar, a private citizin, or in the halls of tho slate senate, his strong mentality, in dividuality, Bound conservative judgment, honesty ol purpose and devotion to principle, have inspired the confidence and respect of all, and marked him a a fearless, safe and intelligent leader of men. When only thirteen years of age he traveled with another party from Walla Walla to Jordan Valley, in what is now Malheur county, Oregon, a distance of 30C mile, he and h!i companion having but one horse between them, each riding and walking by turns. Young King worked on a farm during that summer in Jordan Valley and in the fall just after the clone of the Indian war of lf7S, traveled on horseback along through what wns then largely an uninhabited country to Walla Walla, Wash, to attend school, and when his school term had ended in tho' spring, ro turned to Malheur to again take up his duties on the farm, whero ho ro mained until 1331 Hy industry and rigid economy he earned sulli- cient money to take a course in college, and accordingly in tho fall of 1882, he entered tho tHato Agri cultural college at Curvallis, Ore gon, where ho remuined at school for thrse years. Necessity compelled him to again return to the farm in Malheur county, where ho remained until 1889, During that year lie begtn a course in tho la school of Dan ville, Indiana, graduating from there July 1, 1S91, with distinction an I honor. Soon after ho opened a law oflice in Vale, Malheur county, Oregon. In tho spring of 1892, Mr King was nominated by the democratic party of Malheur county foi the ofllci of represent tive, and was elected hy a hand some majority, lie was married on December C, 1892, to .Minn Myr tie King, of Danville, In searoh of a l.irg'T field for the practice of his profusion he removed to linker City, lUker county, Oregon, i J the spring ol 1893, hero he has n no lived in theenj tyinentof a good lit I ractieu and whero ho is i seemed and respected by all irrespective cf party. In the fall of 19.', Mr King bo came dissatisfied with the demo cratic party, as interpreted by the Cleveland administration, and cast his Jot with the people's party; and in the spring of '91 was nominated by the people's purty for the offico ofslato senator for Malheur and Baker counties. The democrats n irn inatel no on agninsl him, mid he was elected by a majority ot 380, voteu over his republican oppomnt. While io tho Oregon legislature, j though in ibi minority party, he whs soon rfccogniz 'd as a leader of that minority party and was its nomineo for j resident of the senate. Ill aaromlea in tint body speak of him us an able deba' , s an earn ed, conscientious tm , '. -stated of hoii.iJ judgment, e i. -iva'ive in his views, honest ui, 1 iJuBtrious in his life, genial, kind and cour teous in his man ier, goner jus and loyul in hid friendships, firm and determined in his purpose, pure mi l uiiUiutel in bo'.lt h'u private and political life. He is the author of soyeral important laws now upon the statute book of tlm slate, notuble among which is tb i present irrigation district U di nUiling tho five per cent lund i' un the various counti8 of tu n-ato for road purposes. lie in'r lu iu tho sonuto the only r " -iu : u ever submitted to our Bt.i : ! :1 iture, proposing an amend i ' - t the constitution of Orcein . invi '.ing for direct legislation hy in pen; le.

Foi'KTji: Woodcraft Is a patriotic order and, while it cauuot Invite those contemplating going to war to join the Order, It cau deal fraternally by IU present membership that does do so. I shall therefore, request every camp that ban one or more members In tbe army doing active service to Issue a warrant on the General Fund for tLe amount of sueh member's ansewsment and per capita tax thus keeping his Certificate la force while engaged In the service of his country, unless the relatives or Immediate Mends of such members are amply able to pay the tame and voluntarily do so before the I .Hi day of esch mouth. FiiTir: Iu case that it appears to be necesary to do so, a veluntary esm meut will be tailed by this office ou every member of the Paciflo Jurisdic tion, Woodmen of the World, for tbe tuiu of Soceuls, wblcb will preduce several thousand dollars, as a prellml naiy measure to the proper protection and nuralng of sick and wounded members of our Order who may be fouud In hospitals, or other places, as a result of campaigning er battles. Thus we may show to tbe world that we are ludeed patnotlo and are ludsed fraternal, not allowing the Beueflt Certificate or a Woodmen Soldier to lapse whllo engaged in service under the llsg and secondly, to place a pro tecting arm about him should sickness snail him or should be he wounded while serving his country. I sinceiely believe that the above views will receive the unanimous sup port or every member of the Woodmen of the World in the Paciflo Jurisdic tion. Itelldve me, F i nternally yours, In L H A It.
