ORR RETIRES AS
SHERIFF TO
E
Dallas, Or., Jan. 1. Ten years
of uninterrupted service as sheriff
of Polk county will be completed
January 6 by John W. Orr when
he turns oyer hie star to his suc
cessor, Thomae V,. Hooker, who has
served a like period aa chief dep
uty under Mr. Orr.
In his Toluntary retirement to
take i p private business, Mr. Orr
relinquishes a somewhat unique
record. He baa held three two-
year terms and one four-year term
and has been nominated five timea
without opposition by the republi
can ticket and has twice been un
opposed for election. On this first
try for office, way back la 1911
Mr. Orr was beaten by John Grant
ot Dallas. He came back ugaia
two years later and was eloeted.
The sheriff! office has increased
about 100 per cent In all depart
ments In 10 yeare, Mr. Orr esti
mate). This includes tax collec
tions, criminal work and civil pro
cedure. T: criminal work has
been chiefly augmented by llnu'r
violations and this type of crime
has shown little change In th
last two or three years, he thinks.
Sheriff Orr saya that in the bun
dreds of arrests he bas made he
haa seldom had to show his sun
and has never bad occasion to us:
it. In handling prisoners he has
rarely reported to handcuffing
them, even when bringing mon
back from other states for trial
Mr. Orr on retiring from office
expects to locate in Salem where
he plane to establish a collection
agency.
Mr. Hooker will enter upon the
duties of the office just 50 years
after his grandfather, J. J. Wl.'l

sheriff in 1875 and served two

TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly In direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very
successful In overcoming these
conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is soon realized. It stand?
the highest for its remarkable
record of success.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent life Insurance
companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing
statement that one reason why so
many applicants for insurance are
rejected is because kidney trouble
is so common to the American
people, and the large majority of
those whose applications are de
clined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root la on sale at
all drug stores in bottles of two
sizes, medium and large.
