SELECT-JUDGE?
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Then offer No. 1 was withdrawn and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. NORTON EXONERATED

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. Whether or not the road
should pass through Deschutes or
Tumalo was the chief issue, and a
compromise was finally effected to
allow for both towns being touched '
by the highway.
At the preliminary meeting Perrr
Reedy, of Redmond, was temporary
chairman, his place being taken br
B. A. Kendall, also of Redmond, as'
chairman of the evening. 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.'

lower end of the Tumalo irrigation
project. ' '
Bend Men Stand Pat.
The route as determined, from
Terrebonne to Redmond, through
Tumalo and Deschutes, to Bend, will
be referred to the communities rep
resented by the delegates, for ap
proval. The Bend delegation stood
pat during the altercation preceding
the compromise, refusing to take
sides.
Delegates present were the follow-
