The farm Is constantly In creasing In valuo and Is now one of of the county's most valued assets. Another Illustration of Mr. Walker's Ikeen foresight was in the Investiga tion of the county records two years ago by which the sum of about $21, 000 was saved to the taxpayers of the county.

C. A. BARRETT. BARRETT FOR REELECTION. For County Coroner Mark Your Ballot 56 X RALPH FOLSOM Regular Republican Nominee An efficient official Keep hfcn there Capable Representative Would Serve People Again. C. A. Barrett of Athena, republican nominee for representative, was born ln Oxford county, Maine, and came to Umatilla county via San Francisco-Portland-Umatilla Landing and by stage to Weston In November, 1872. But few people now living In that vicinity were there at that time. Soon after his arrival Mr. Barrett secured work on the stock ranch and by fru gal living and Industry ln a few years was able to go Into the stock business on his own account. In 1884 he engaged In the hardware and Implement business ln Centervllle, now city of Athena, and this, together with his farming and stock raising have had his close attention for many years. Mr. Barrett has served the citizens of Athena both as mayor and coun cilman for many years and was one of the organizers of the First National bank of Athena, being the bank's first president and many years director of the bank. Mr. Barrett Is public spirited and takes great lnterets ln all matters ap pertaining to public improvements and education. He Is a strong advocate of good roads and civic improvements as his work ln macadamizing the streets of Athena will testify. Being an early settler of the county and having every qualification for creditably representing his constitu ents and having served one term ln the legislature, together with his wide acquaintance, he Is a formidable can dldate for the office he seeks. At the recent primary nominating election he had the distinction of re ceiving the highest number of repub lican votes cast for representative. Mr. Barrett Is a strong advocate of the di rect primary law and the people's choice for United States senator and subscribes to statement No. 1. Mr. Barrett favors an open river and to that end favors the extension of the portage road to The Dalles, thus plac ing the upper river in direct con struction with all transportation on the lower lver. 'Mr. Barrett, if elected, will favor comprehensive Irrigation laws which shall both sustain the government and portect private rights Also all rea sonable legislation sustaining public educational Interest, especially all laws which shall be for the Interest of the people of Umatilla county IIENDLEY FOR RECORDER, Popular and Efficient County Official Is a Candidate for Reelection on Ills Merits.- Fred W. Hendley, republican can didate for county recorder graduated from Portland Business) college In 1869 and has been engaged In cleri cal work ever since. He has been a resident of Umatilla county for the past 44 years, having come here ln 1864. Mr. Hendley Is an expert account ant and Is one of the best penmen In the county. The records of the recorder's office ln Umatilla county tinder his management have been kept In the neatest and most attractive manner of any office In the state. That he practices rigid economy ln the office is shown by ,the fact that he has conducted the office for $840 less during his term than was paid during the previous term, thus making a saving of $35 per month for the taxpayers. He has also served as dep uty treasurer for the past six years, conducting the buslnes of that office during the absence of the treasurer. Mr. Hcndley's motto Is: "I guar antee accurate and legible records, prompt service and courteous treat ment," and that he has lived up to his motto to the letter Is the testimony ol every one who has had business with the county recorder's office during the past two years. Patrons of the recorder's office of ten express surprise at the prompt ness with which instruments are re turned after having been recorded. II is seldom ever the case than an In strument Is kept, longer than one day, when sent to bo recorded, and many are returned within a few hours after being received. When the people of the county are satisfied that Mr. Hendley Is the most competent and best qualified man to fill the office of county recorder there Is no reason for a change. Business men do not discharge competent and faithful employes but retain them ln their positions and the same rule should apply to public servants. Mr. Hendley is conceded to be one of the most capable recorders In the state and Umatilla county Is particu larly fortunate ln having his services. Start Street Improvement. Councilman A. A. Andrews, last evening started a paved street move ment which should receive the full support and endorsement of every business man ln the city, says the La Grande Observer. So promptly was the motion accepted that a special committee was appointed within a few moments, to delve Into tho matter and report at the next meeting of what could be done, and how best to pro ceed to secure paved streets for the city of La Grande. With a federal building In sight, several buildings under plans of construction, It Is only proper that the city should start to pave Its streets action symbolic of thrift and enterprise. If never started the movement will never be consum mated. Before tho next meeting of the council, the committee, Messrs. Krclger, Andrews and Curtis, will have something pleasant to report. $20,000 Alfalfa Mill. J. E. Murphy of Portland was In town several days this week, contract ing for hay and If he succeeds in con tracting 2000 tons of alfalfa hay he will have running by the first of Au gust a $20,000 alfalfa mill, says the Echo Register. Mr. Murphy wants to contract a fourth or more of each alfalfa crop raised In this section and will agree to pay $6 per ton delivered at his mill In Echo, for five years. Mr. Murphy has a plant running ln Portland and wants to put one here, but must have enough In sight to Jus tify him In Investing this amount of money for the building must be mostly of cement and stone, as the machinery Is yory heavy. Tho plant the size that he would put In here would grind 25. tons per day and require 10 men to operate It. Francis J. Heney has been employ. ed by Abel Ady ln his suit for dam ages against tho Klamath Lake rail road company. He Is suing for $63,- 00. Mark Your Ballot For Treasurer X CEO. W.
