On the question of Irrigation he Is
well posted and It Is his desire to see

an equal right to the same, and to the
equitable distribution of these waters.

Weston Leader: The Leader will
stake its reputation as a prophet up
on the nomination today and the elec
tion in June of Frank K. Welles, T.
D. Taylor and Frank Baling. They are
good men and faithful servants and
their opponents mere nonentities at

WALKER FOR COMMISSIONER.
by
Umatilla County Has Profited
Horace Walker's Services.
Horace Walker, republican candi
date for county commissioner, is one
of the pioneer citizens of .Umatilla
county, having been a resident of the
county for the past 31 years, during
He advocated the purchase of a
county poor farm long before the pres
ent farm was purchased, and his
Judgment In that matter has been
proved by the county records which
show that since the purchase of the
present farm the pauper expense ac
count has been reduced by about
one-half. 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. Mr. Walker advocated an
examination of the books for months
before it was actually undertaken and
the discovery of the shortages and
the recovery of the sum of 121,000
Justified his Judgment.
He has always stood for permanent
public Improvements and has advo
cated good roads and bridges for all
parts of the county. He pays strict
attention to his office and no letter
of Inquiry from any Isolated or remote
soclon of the county Is passed unheed
ed by him. He Is acquainted with all
parts of the county personally and
knows the needs of each section and
Is one of the most practical and com
petent county officials now ln the
service of the people.
Mr. Walker Is a candidate for re
election and stands upon his record
in the office. Ho Is now before the
voters of Umatilla county and asks
only a fair and Impartial review of
his past services. He has attended
strictly to business, has practiced
economy and prudencejn county af
fairs as he has ln his own personal af
fairs and the county has profited by
his ability and close attention to busi
ness.

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.

road company. He Is suing for $63,-
