This publication is strictly non-partisan, and espouses the cause of no party or candidate ; but it has had advertising space to sell and has allowed candidates to avail themselves of such space for their announcements.

Our thanks are also due to the many contributors who have assisted us in our efforts to make this edition a success from a literary standpoint. Among the many other improvements recently made by Blakeley & Houghton in their store, library shelves have been added for our books. The aid and en couragement given by these gentlemen to the library movement can never be forgotten by the management and pro moters of the scheme.

We have labored long and earnestly and found pleasure in our work. No more shall we listen with sympathetic ear to tales of editor's woe., as such tales can be but mere chimeras of the brain. Our work has progressed smoothly, so smoothly in deed, tha next year, we may conclude to inflict the good-hearted citizens with another and similar publication, but "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." As our object in the present undertaking was to achieve funds for the maintenance of our library, we can but feel every gratification of the result, and we close our pages with many thanks to all who have in any way as sisted us. The class of '98 of the Dalles High School will be the largest graduated from that institution for a great many years.

It is an honor to any town to enter tain a body of noble men and women for any length of time, and The Dalles is not lacking in appreciation of its po sition. We hope the G. A.R. will see fit to hold many more of their conven tions here, as it will give us infinite pleasure to entertain so large a crowd to the best of our ability. We learn that there are five or eight hundred visitors among us, composed of Grand Army veterans, auxiliary W. R. C. and Sons of Veterans.

Thursday night's enter tainment promises to be of unusual in terest, as the program is made up of people from all over the state, includ ing home talent. Dalles citizens will be out en masse to enjoy and lend encour agement to such meetings. CHARLES S. MOORE. The republican state convention held at Astoria on April 14, recognized in Charles S. Moore, of Klamath county, one of Oregon's most pros perous and honored Dative eons, and conferred upon him a deserved honor by nominating' him for the office of state treasurer, as a reward for his natural worth and service to the prin ciples of the republican party. Mr. Moore was born in Marion county, Oregon, in 1857, and at the age of 17 moved to Klamath county, where he engaged in the general mercbsL dise business, which ho has succes. fully pursued ever since. During his residence in that county, he has bet n one of its foremo-t citizens, havirg been prominent in all public atlair?, and took an active part in the forma tion of the county wbea it was estab lished. His advice has ever b en sought in matters pertaining f the up building and development of the sec tion in which he ha made his home. Mr. Moore has been a life long repub lican and took a keen interest in the welfare of the party even before he be came a, voter. For twelve years he has been chairman of the republican central committee of Klamath coun ty, also a member of the state central committee, and has displayed much tact in conducting' campaigns in that county. He ha9 been a delegate to every republican stete convention ex cept one for the past twelve years, and was a delegate no the national conven tion in 1896 Two yeare ago Mr. Moore was elected county judge of Klamath county, which position ho has filled creditably and acceptably to the people of that county. If elected to the office of state treasurer he will ' pursue the same policy that has con trolled his actions in discharging ot-ier public trusts, and will prove an obliging and efficient officer. MALCOLM A. MOODY. . The nomination of Hon. M. A. Moody as republican candidate for congress has been a source of gratification to this community, not only on account of the honor done us, but because we know the man, and know that in his election, which is practically assured, our state and district will have a faithful and ef ficient representative. In these times of menace to the pub lic honor and credit, it is absolutely necessary that those who are selected to protect and guard them be men whose records are so well defined as to guaran tee their action in such a crisis. Mr. Moody is a man of unflagging in dustry, of tireless pereeverence and of such uncompromising integrity that he never sacrifices principle for personal preferment, .as was proved by his re fusal, two years ago, to accept the nomi nation which he now has, when he de clined the congressional nomination rather than equivocate on the money question. He has never followed the vagaries of public opinion, nor striven to build up for himself a personal fol lowing outside his party's lines, but al ways has been ana will be heart and soul for Sound Money and the advance ment of commerce. These qualities ex ercised in Washington for the benefit of our state will be of inestimable value. A long residence in Eastern Oregon, and wide knowledge of its needs and re sources, render Mr. Moody a highly available candidate, and we prophesy that his majority in June will indicate that this opinion is general throughout the district. In the article written by Lucy Wil son Peters, the name printed Annie Puck should appear Annie Luck; also Dell Hinderman should be Dell Lln derman. The name appearing Elder Stons shouldbe Elden Storrs.
