CROOK COUNTY OFFICIAL HAS STRING ATTACHED TO RESKJ-I XATION GOVERNOR WILL NOT BIND HIMSELF. PRINEVILLE, March 6. (Spec ial.) Is Judge G, Springer, of Crook county, going to name his successor before he resigns? And if he can't do that, will he resign at all? Those are the queries which Just now in terest the rank and file, not to men tion the generals and adjutants, Of the Crook county political forces, and when it is taken into consideration that there are about as many "lead ers" as there are rankers and filers. It Is by way of saying that most ev eryone hereabout is Interested in i outcome. This much is definitely known: G. Springer has not resigned. He has, however, offered to resign, with a string to the resignation. Some say that there were a couple of strings to his first offer; sort of a first and second choice, so as to give the Governor a little latitude. Then offer No. 1 was withdrawn and another tentative resignation was forwarded to Salem, it is said. "I will resign," announced this second near-resignation, in effect. "if you, Mr. Governor, will appoint So-and-So." It Is now stated by friends of the Judge that he has received a letter from the Governor courteously stat ing that he could not bind himself in advance to any appointment; that he would consider whom to appoint when the vacancy existed. Whether the Judge's henchmen will be willing to have him uncrown ed If they don't know his successor In advance, Is problematical. And if they keep him from resigning. It also remains to be seen if the threat ened recall will be started. It Is said that Judge Springer has suggested the appointment of Isaac W. Ward, Democrat; and that J. H. Gray and T H. Lafollette were also agreeable to him. Other candidates who have been prominently men tioned are M. n. Elliott, A. R. Bow man and L. M. Bechtoll, all Repub licans.

A clash of opinion as to the route to be endorsed for the post road , through Deschutes county along a north and south line, resulted In the formation of two distinct factions at the road meeting held at Redmond last night.

The real business of the session was trans acted after supper. Opinions Clash. With the meeting only a short time under way, it became apparent that the question of whether to en dorse Tumalo or Deschutes would be the chief issue to be decided, and after much discussion of the relative advisability of the two points, a com mittee composed of Roscoe Howard, ' of Deschutes, and Fred K. Wallace and J. M. Griffin, of Tumalo, was named, and immediately held an emergency session at which the com-' promise was made. The recommendation of the com mittee as adopted by the delegates at the meeting, provides for a re quest to the county court for the con- - struction of a bridge over the Des chutes river near the Marsh Aubrey.' place, to serve the residents of the lower end of the Tumalo irrigation project.
