about 75 men, and whilo at Latourelle
$12,000 wero paid tho men in wages, a
large portion of which was spent in the

grade goes around tho worst part ol the
hill, uamoly that portion of it just above

Adams and Smith said their horses
walked up the grade without turning a
hair, in foot two horses would have
pulled tholr wagons as easily aB six did

dried out. Mr. Smith says all the wool
men in Crook county, with a possible
exception of tho Hay Creek Co., will
have their wool hauled by team to The

an elaborate display of the always popu

Republican County Convention.
The delegates to the Republican coun
ty convention, to be held here tomorrow,
are arriving hourly and most of them
will probably be here before twilight
Then in the big billiard room of the
Umatilla House, far into the night, the
merits of the several candidates will be
discussed and their respective fates in a
large measure decided. There will be
no lack of candidates for the various
county offices, and Wasco county Re
publicans can ulways afford to chose the
best for a Republican nomination is
practically equal to an election.
We give below the names that are
spoken of aB candidates for the several
offices. If any others aro talked of The
CmtoNicLE has not heard of them. We
have heard of no one definitely men
tioned in connection with tho county
school superintendency although, as we
are advised, Mr. Gilbert, the present
incumbent, may have 'opposition
"Dad" Butts is the only one who has
no rumored opponent. "Dad" has been
coroner for three terms. The last two
conventions gave him the nomination
by acclamation and it looks as if it would
be that way in the coming convention.
"Dad," however, sayB if no one will run
against him he will maybe get mad and
resign, but he wont. It is far more
likely that he will hold the office for life
and then, dying, will it to his son.
The following aro all the names The
Cukonio'e has heard mentioned up to
the hour of going to press ;
For Sheriff Robert Kelly, T J Driver ;
for clerk Simeon Bolton, A E Lake;
for treasurer C L Phillips, Charles
