END OF THE CONTEST
Tlie noniniiition of Mr. II. 0
Ellis of Bend, as the llepubli
can candidate for County Judge
ends a spirited contest, but one
which leaves no bitterness to
rankle afterwards. 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)

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

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

some of the advertisements were

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

That is jogging along some, for

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.
