REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
The Republican party of Morrow
coimty Las pat a goal, clean tick
et into the field, and ita nominees
are repreuentative citizens and tax
payers. Thone of them who have been
re-nominated have shown them
eelvea to be trustworthy public
servants, deserving of the fullest
confidence.
They have done their whole
duty, and have placed Morrow
couuty in the very front rank of
tho state. The good showing they
have made entitles them to special
recognition at the hands of the
voters, and when election day rolls
around the voters are going to
show them that thoir efforts are
appreciated.
From top to bottom the Repub
lican ticket is a good one, and its
clean candidates are all creditable
to the party and principles they
represent The man who votes
the Republican ticket makes no
mistake.
WONDERFUL WOOL.
At the First National Bank there is on
exhibition 7 samples of the finest wool
ever seen here. It was taken from the
hacks of the Connor A Hayes sheep in
Sanford Canyon, and is 3 inches long,
without a break or interruption in its
Krowth. It is much admired, and the
hand of 3000 ewos from which it came
will eahily yield their owners 30,000
pounds of it, aud probably more. This,
with the lambs they have been drop
ping duriutr the last month, make such
sheep one of the beet iuvostments on
earth.
Heppner wool Is all of most magnifi
cent quality this year. Manager R. F.
llyinl, of the Morrow County Land and
Trust Co's warehouse, says that what
be is receiving is the prettiest ever seen.
It is tine, long, bright and silky, and
equal to any Australian wool. It will
increase the good reputation of Heppner
wool, wherever it goes.
Wool has been rolling into Heppner
very freely dnring the past week, and
Mr. Hynd bas received 500 ,000 pounds.
He expects that there will be 1,000,000
pounds in the Heppner warehouses by
the end of the week.
Harry Jones and Joe Luck man seem
glad that they contracted their wool last
Christmas at Vxi cents. They were the
only Heppner men wLo would do so,
and uiont growers thought then that the
outlook was good for IX) cents.
If IS
CHANGED CONDITIONS.
Hardman, May 2.
Ed. Gazette: As election day is
drawing near, and as Mr. BryaD
has been quite energetic in his ef
forts to stuff the people with fool
ish Bchemes which he must know
can never produce logical results,
it behooves the Republicans to
keep the facts fresh in the minds
of the voters.
If experience is worth anything,
we have ample proof that the Dem
ocratic plan of government can
never give us that high degree of
prosperity our unlimited resources
justify us in expecting.
The Democratic plan of tariff
for revenue only to meet the eco
nomic needs of the government in
effect divides our advantages with
foreigners. It destroys our mar
kets, thus creating an element of
uncertainty in all channels of trade
that paralyses all business. It
causes a contraction of money, for
under such conditions one is fortu
nate in recovering the original in
vestment, saying nothing about
profit.
As a result of such stagnation
in business and scarcity of money,
all values shrink quite or nearly
one-half.
Then as auxiliaries we have a
Coxey army; numerous soup-houses
provided by city authorities to
prevent hungry men from commit
ting crime; an army of discontent
ed laborers continually inaugurat
ing strikes, often resulting in mar
tial law.
Democratic legislation makes
money so close that the poor man
can hardly get it at all.
In the fall of '95 I was compell
ed to borrow $180. I offered my
note, endorsed by the president of
the First National Bank of Hepp
ner, on 6 months' time at any rate
of interest.
I could not borrow the money
in Heppner. I finally borrowed it
at 32 per cent.
In New York during Cleveland's
last administration, interect ran
up one evening to over 70 per cent.
The Democratic bait caught a
lot of suckers in '92 who will nev
er bite again.
You would give us a tariff for J
revenue only to meet the economic
needs of the government; you
would give the manufacturers free
raw material, thus enabling them
to control the markets of the
world; you would give us a Wilson
tariff law that would provide the
treasury with ample funds. In
short, you were going to raise the
earth and put a chunk under it.
Now Mr. Bryan would add the
free coinage of silver and thus take
away the only prop the people had
namely; a sound carrency. And
yet I have been guyed for voting
the Republican ticket. "Once a
sucker always a sucker." Well,
I'm not built that way.
The Republican plan of govern
ment gives us a profit, restores
values, and gives us cheap money
that is worth 100 cents on the dol
lar. It creates a demand for labor
under conditions enabling the em
ployer to pay the very highest wa
ges, and in the best money on
earth.
It was Mr. Cleveland who paid:
"We are confronted by a condition
and not a theory." Fellow-voters,
if Bryan's theories have mystified
you, I ask you to review that con
dition from the time Cleveland was
elected till now, and you will have
a vision that will cause you to vote
the Republican ticket. You will
throw your hat as high and make
as much noise on the day of tri
umph as the rest of us.
Harry Cumminus.

ASA B. THOMSON.
The next Joint Representative
from Morrow and Umatilla coun
ties will be Asa B. Thomson.
He is a bright young man with
a brilliant career before him, and
all who cast their ballots for him
may well feel proud of the fact.
Mr. Thomson was born in Pen
dleton on July 15, 1870, and lived
there until 1891, when he came to
Morrow county and went into the
sheep business. In 1898 Mr.
Thomson bought his present home,
the Frank Ewing place on Butter
creek, and the same year was mar
ried to Miss Carrie A. Stanfield.
His father was one of tho pioneers
who first settled Eastern Oregon,
and was sheriff of Umatilla county
from 1868 to 1872.
Mr. Thomson is an enterprising
young man, fall of life, vigor and
health, and having lived here all
his life he knows the best inter
ests of the people of Eastern Or
egon, and will champion them
through thick and thin.
Thoroughly understanding as he
does, the great wool, cattle and
farming industries, Representa
tive Thomson will be a truly rep
resentative man in the next legis
lature. COUNTY COURT.
In Judge Bartholomew's probate court
Monday R. M. Hart was appointed guar
dian of Elbert Lalande, minor, with
bonds fixed at $8000. George Conser,
Frank Gilliam and George Noble quali
fied as bondsmen.
'Mrs. Belle Lalande was appointed
guardian of Ruth Lalande, miDor child,
with bonds fixed at $4000.
The final account of J. W. Matlock, as
administrator of the estate of Susan C.
Matlock, deceased, was approved, the
bondsmen discharged and the estate
settled.
Home-seekers are dropping into Mor
row county, and find land values very
reasonable.

WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, May 9. The wheat mar
ket continues tame and uninteresting,
but there ss a limited amount selling
all the time. Walla Walla is generally
quoted at 53 cents, but sales have been
made at 54 cents for choice lots, and
the latter figure can undoubtedly be
secured for any good stock. Valley is
in moderate demand at 53 cents, with
not much offering. The freight market
remains very firm, owners holding out
for more than 40 shillings, in spite of
the repeated refusal ot exporters to go
above that figure.

5253c ; bluestem, 50c per bushel.

London, May 8. The third series of
the wool auction sales of 1900 opened
Monday. There was a large attendance.
Business competition was only fair, as
the offerings numbered 6358 bales, most
of which were taken by the home trade.
Superior merinos were 10 per cent lower
and inferior merinos showed losses of
from 10 to 15 per cent. Fine crossbreds
were off 10 per cent ; Cape of Good Hope
and Natal snow-white, 1, and greasy
5 to 10 per cent. Numerous foreign
buyers were present, but they were
merely onlookers.
