X'p in the - Twenty-eighth legislative district, composed of Gilliam, Sher man and WheeieHcounties, during the recent election there was a contest, and - a very spirited one, between R. N.'

During the session of .1907 he had voted .con sistently for ; every - adjournment r and ' for most of the- bills- passed in the house, either on the one side or the other, and though, he had never made a motion so far as remembrance goes he . was reputed bjr his political 'associates us a safe and sane candidate.

Through delay In filing his petition In the primaries he had been shut out of the contest for the nomination, and after th primaries he became an Independent Republican can didate for the position ' to which HP. Donnelly aspired and in which he had served. He ran on a Statement No. 1 platform and on the record of what he had done for the eastern Oregon, coun try and what he would ao should -he do put in me nouse or representatives. This III all preliminary and incidental. The truthful tale has to do with the day of election and with how Judge Mariner 'Has Hirsute Appendages, Too. ' It may be said in explanation that Judge Mariner besides being a man -of action is a man of beard. He has long and silken facial, adornments which are ine envy or -nis xeiiow townsmen and the plaything of 'the romping winds which blow up and down the - valley where the mighty Oregon rolls its ma jestic, course towards the sea. Farther, to give the playful sephyrs added sweep and unusual license, and perhaps to keep his sinews taut and firm, Judge Manner is a aevotee or ine silent steea, whose pneumatic hoofs 'clog on' sand and lae in the face" of the rale. - Monday, the first of June, dawned clear and bright along the sand-sprinkled reaches of .the Columbia, and Judge .Si rr'r: With wblBkers Btream(n.g Judge Mariner was hauled to the polls behind , , - two plunging ponies. Mariner went early to work In the good cause of steering -his fellow villagers off pn their up-river Journey to Arling ton, wnere mo oaray sons di vim up land plains were to gather to Indicate their choice of publics servants. With the sunshine came the wind, whooping and roaring down the gorges of the river, swirling about the - bluffs and driving little drifts and ripples of sand aiong tne roaaway, lining in m no lows and covering up the ruts worn bj wheeled travel. - ';-; - ' Wheel fot ICS, Says Skipper. ' Afternoon' came, and, his friends all safely started to the polls,' the Judge oiled up his faithful wheel and started merrily on to put nis evidence or cm en ship Into - the wooden box which every so often holds the destiny of suspense-shaken candidates. He - swung out Into the highway and met the wind face to face.

The time for closing the pons drew near ana calcinating mat he could not finish the race in time Judge Mariner sat down on a friendly boulder and mopped , his glistening dome. . ? i . i, . Changing Soeascry Too Moon. Two clouds of dust grew In the dis tance and bore down, upon him, resolv ing themselves on near approach Into two cowboys, who, with down-bending heads, were facing the wind in a steady lope toward the polls at Arlington. They saw the judge disconsolate and stopped. " 'Hello, judge," said the lank one; "been to voter,' i-Can't make it " said the Judge. "Too much wind In my face." "Poor horse you've got," sympa thized the short one. It can travel home all right." coun tered the despondent candidate. "we 11 fix you." said the lanky puncn er. reacbinsr for his lariat tied at his knee, while the other dawning Inspira tion in his eye, did likewise. . Then they did. Lassoing the reluctant wheel, they mounted the judge and started again in the face of tne wind, the two cowboys In the lead, the judge trailing behind. The candidate tut his feet on the coaster steps, took a firm grip on the handle bars and told them to "let her fro." The ponies took up their swinging ope, the road raced behind and the wind sane and chuckled through the whiskers of the legislator to be. Reach ing Arlington, the pilots lashed their fonles into a wild run, and with old Ime western whoons thev towed the trailing candidate up to the polls amid the Plaudits of the sathered citizens just' In time to cast his vote. And that is how Judge Mariner came to cast his ballot. TAFT AND SHERMAN PLEASE THE COAST Inquiry Brings Forth BepUes-That-the 'Steam.

' The selection of Mr. Sherman, whose ; long service in congress from the Twenty-seventh district of New York has made him a party leader in the . house of representatives, seems to have been a perfectly reasonable outcome. New York demanded recognition and deserved it, also. "No man battled more valiantly dnr : log the recent session of congress for ' those principles for which the Repub . llcan party stands than James S. Sher man.

The Herrin men showed signs of boltin at first but lined ud like lambs at Chicago and swallowed the program. zrevnoa jrot xnsructoa. The nomination of Taft -was antici pated by. the rank and file of the Re publican party in Nevada, althoueh the delegation was not instructed for him. Many believed, however, that the con vention would be stampeded for Roose velt, who undoubtedly Is more popular than Taft. The nomination of Sherman aroused no enthusiasm whatever, his record being little known. There is a division of sentiment among the Repub licans as to the strength of the plat form. They are disappointed in the de feat of the planks favoring the election of senators by the people and the exclu sion or oriental immigration. Republi cans In the ranks of union labor are bitter in their denunciation of the In junction plank. While a great may of the Party are surprised that the con vention aia not tnaorse rairs aeciarea policy for the publication of campaign contributions, yet In spite of these dif ferences the leaders claim tne party will stand united and victorious this fall in Nevada, for the first time in sev eral years. , .

(Salem Bursas of The Journal. )N Salem, Or., June 20: The scramble for the Hood River county offices. whioh will be the pleasure of the gov ernor to band out next week, grows greater as the time to appoint grows nearer. Every mail brings new peti tions to the executive office. Republi cans seem to feel Just as confident of getting the offices as do the Democrats. The Democratic party in the new county held a meeting and voted to recommend certain Democrats whom It wished to be honored. At the same meeting It was agreed that the offices should be divided with the Republicans and it was voted to notify the Hood River Commercial club and the Repub lican party to ihat effect Representative Carter's tiaX.

The latter is the only Democrat in the list, but Mr. Carter says he does not neaitate to recommend mm, because of . his sterling qualities and peculiar fit-1 ness for the place. i C V. Brock, assistant cashier Of the First National bank of Hood River. Is urged for treasurer by the Democrats of Hood River county. George D. Cul berson is put forward for county clerk, Lewis E.

The appointments will likely be an nounced by the governor next week and the new officers will assume their duties July 6. Though the governor has given out no Intimation as' to the likely candi dates, it is understood ; the Democrats will probably secure the county Judge, one commissioner, county clerk, sheriff and coroner, while the Republicans may secure the treasurer, assessor, school suoerintendent and surveyor.
