It was clean contest, between two clean candidates, neither of whom in dulged in personalities or mud- Slinging, and either of whom would accord to the victor the full measure of his support and assistance after the primaries) nr.. t 1 .1. 3 . . -1 t 4ii-. jianciiaru scatea nete on the day of the primaries that he would support Mr. Ellis if he were nominated, and Mr. Ellis would assuredly have given Mr. Blauchard his loyal support had the tide of battle turned the other way. This is as it should be in fights within the party, and augurs success to the Re publican candidate in the June election. Mr. Ellis is finety equipped for the position of County Judge. He has the legal audi the business t mini tan fr erf'o-m all the dulits of the office in an able manner, creditable to him self and satisfactory to the tax payers of the county. lie is fair and impartial, and will give all sections of the county equ consideration. He will unaues maries in this county, Merry man wns last in the race be tween the three candidates for the nomination, and his nomin aton n the district was due to the lead he had in Klamath county. The race, . therefore, for the state 8enatorship in this distiic may develop into an interesting alFair, wholly unlike the con tests of tjie past over that office 1. ll.

The Laidlaw Chronicle made its appearance last week in new and very attractive dress, appearing as a six column quarto with a two page insert, six pages of which were home print. The name plate and some of the advertisements were printed in red, giving a touch of color to the new costume 'Pi... .,..1., n.. 1 uu uiuiuua cic uncu Willi live local news and bright, per tinent comment, and the paper shows conscientious work in every department. Mr. Sea- bury, the new editor and owner, is to be congratulated upon the great improvement he has made in the appearance of the Chron icle, which reflects credit upon him, and upon the community in which it is published. in "tionably give Crook county able, businesslike administia tion of all county affairs, and the voters of the county shouk: rally to Mr. Ellis' support anc elect him by an overwhelming majority. A GOOD RACE IN PROSPECT The race for the State Senator- ship in the seventeenth senato rial district promises to be an -interesting one in spite of the fact that the district is so strongly republican that the race, on the face of the registra tion, looks like a one-sided af fair. Mr. Springer, the demo cratic nominee, is a staunch ad vocate of Statement No. 1 as the nearest approach to the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, possi ble under the constitution. His opponent, if it be Dr. Merry man of Klamath Falls, as the reports indicate, is not a sub scriber to Statement No. 1, but agrees to vote for the republi can choice for United States Senator, and the issue therefore will be plainly drawn between them. The district, composed of Crook, Klamath and Lake coun ties, is strongly republican, how ever, each of the three counties composing the district being ie publican b' large majorities, so that party lines will more than likely influence the final out come, whatever the issues raised between the candidates. On the other hand, Mr. Springer is very popular in Crook county, find fppecially in the west side of the county, wjiere he is iecognized as a staunch mid loyal supporter of every movement for the better ment and advancement of that section, and an appreciation of his paBt services in that respect will doubtless win him many republican votes in Crook coun ty. Crook county is the largest county in the district in point of voting strength, bo that the action of Crook county might have an important bearing on the result in June In the pii- Editor Seabury of the Laid- aw Chronicle, made a good start last week. He built two newspaper railroad? into Cen tral Uuvtion 111 n;s Jirst issue. That is jogging along some, for a beginner, and when he has been here long enough to be come acquainted with the big gest section in the United States without a railroad, he may be expected to do better. Well, here's hoping that they may all materialize! date. t will bo necessary to do some work, on the runs, but. as soon as they piu be got in good shape, the bjg traction outfit will be started out on its second trial trip from Shaniko, where it has been standing all Winter. Similar traction freighting trains are operated, successtull' in California, over roads said to be worse than anything be tween this place and Shaniko, and the inukers of the outfit stated emphatipally while here last Pall, that the roads oitered no obstacle, although some work would be necessary on them. The tiial trip whiph was made last Fall was entirely unsuc cessful, but this was attributed largely to the condition of the roacs, which were four to six inches deep with dust, and did not pack as the heav' train passed over them. It' the train can be successfully oper ated, the freighting project bo tween this place and Shaniko will doubtless be revived.

SECOND TRIAL FOR THE ROAD TRAIN Manufacturers Of Traction Freighting Outfit Will Attempt To Oper ate It Successfully. It is reported here today that the Holt Manufacturing Com pany, manufacturers of the trac tion freighting outfit which a local freighting company trifd to operate between this place and shaniko last Fall, will make a second attempt to oper ate the outfit, in order to dem onstrate the feasibility of the project, and that arrangements are now under way to make the ADDITIONAL LOCALS G. Springer, democratic can didate for State Senator, and lenrv Windoin of Culver, are 111 town today. Mr. wimioin las recently returned from Cor- vallis, where he spent the win ter with his fa mil' in order that lis children might attend the Corvallis schools. One of his sons is attending the State Agr icultural College. He says he s glad to be back in Central Oregon, where he has resided too long to become easil' ac customed to the wet "Webfuot" winters. The local lodge of I. 0. 0. F. will celebrate the S9th anniver sary of the organization of the order next Saturday evening. A delegation from the Friue ville lodge and also one from Laidlaw lodge is expected to be present, to participate with the local Odd Fellows in the mini versary exercises. Several local sir Isaac Wal- tons tried their luck in the Des chutes river during the week, but with very little success, as the river is still muddy. Trout flies are beginning to make their appearance in small num bers, it is reported, and within a week or 10 days, when .they are-out in full force, the fishing season will begin in earnest. There will be an ice cream social at tne Mua springs schoolhouse Friday evening, May 1. A short musical and literary program will be ren dered, after ''which ice cream and cake will be served.
