COMPETENT MEN.
Experience counts, and the Re
publican candidates for county
officers here Bre man of large ex
perience in the affairs of the world.
Vawtor Crawford has thoroughly
mastered all the complicated de
tails of the county clerk's office,
and every person who has done
business with the oflioe Trill freely
testify to his ability and accom
modating spirit.
Judge Bartholomew has han
dled the affairs of the county with
marked ability, and its excellent
liuanoial oonditiou speaks volumes.
It is in the front rank, and the
judge who has brought it there
Bhould be re-elected. Under' his
administration the county will get
full benefit of his experience.
No small share of credit for the
comity's good condition belongs to
J, W. Becket as commissioner, and
as sheriff he will do his duty.
Jay Shipley aud W. L. Baling
have had long experience in edu
cating and assessing, and every
Republican county candidate in a
competent man.
Voters of all parties know how
present prosperity came to the
Heppner Hill, and too well re
member how hard times were here
before it came.
SIBERIAN GOLD.
Miners who have visited , the
Siboiiau coast by stealth have re
ported that it is practically the
game as the Nome coast, consist
ing of a strip of beach behind
which lies a tuudra, or belt of gold
bearing saud. Many companies
have been formed to work dredges
and pumps off the coast of Nome,
in ordfr to draw up the precious
sand where it reaches the beach.
It is expected that the operation
of tliene appliances will be pre
vented by the beach miners, and
that apparatus in which large cap
ital has been invested will be idle,
unletss new Holds are opened to it.
If the expedition to Siberia finds
what it expects, the oorapany will
invite pumps and dredges to cross
to the Siberian shore and operate
there upon payment of a royalty.
Bjornstjerne ISjornscn latelv saw
for tbe first time the statue of him.
boU set up before the National The
atre iu Christiaua, and is very hos.
tile because it does not make him
out handsome. It is now time that
the world got hostile oyer having
to road his name.
REPUBLICAN RALLY.
The first strains of martial music
heard in Heppner for many a day
awoke the echoes Thursday even
ing. The newly-organized Heppner
Silver Cornet Band was out, under
the leadership of Vawter-Crawford,
and made melodious the evening
air.
The Park Garrigues opera house
was well filled with people, and
G. W. Phelps acted as chairman of
the meeting. He introduced
Judge A. G. Bartholomew, who
made a most happy little speech,
winch was very apt and brought
down the house. The Judge said
that as a boy he would sit at table
and long for the pie that was tempt
ingly displayed. But his mother
would insist upon his first destroy
ing his fair share of the hog and
hominy. So now he would rush
through the hog and hominy part
of this meeting, and let the audi
ence at tbe pie as soon as possible
the pie being the main speech
of the evening, to be delivered by
Senator Brownell.
Mr. Phelps introduced the other
county candidates who were pres
ent, and each made a few remarks
appropriate to the occasion. The
gentlemen were: County Clerk
Vawter Crawford: School Superin
tendent J. W. Shipley; J. W. Beck
et, candidate for sheriff: W. L.
Sahng, candidate for assessor.
Their remarks were well received.
The speaker of the evening,
senator U. (J. Brownell, was then
introduced by Mr. Phelps, and
made a live talk lasting lit hours.
He showed himself to be thorough-
y popted on national attairs, and
an uncompromising advocate of ex
pansion.
Senator Brownell traced the ca
reer of the Republican party and
showed that it had alwavs had
been and always would be the par.
ty of progress. He spoke off-hand
in an easy, courteous style, and
was perfectly fair in his arguments.
tie kept everybody interested to
the last, and made a most favor
able impression for himself and the
oause be advocated.
IMPORTANT ' INTERESTS.
The fact is that any man who
obstructs a Republican triumph in J
Oregon next month shoulders a
very heavy and dangerous respon
sibility. This applies to every
office on the ticket, but it applies
with peculiar force to the choice
f Congressman and members of
the. Legislature, who are to vote
for a United States Senator. Im
pairment of the normal Republican
majority either at the polls or in
the Legislature will be taken
throughout the country as an evi-
ence , of Republican disaffection
on the money question and reten
tion of the Philippines. An illus
tration in point is afforded by the
recent election in St. Paul. The
Republicans thought it would be
funny to elect a Democratic mayor,
and they did so, without any refer
ence to National issues. The effect
broad is seen in the remark of
the Chicago Record to the effect
that the Administration's policies
are such that
the consequence may be to lose
Minnesota, if the result of the
municipal election in St. Paul is
an indication of Bentimout through
out that state."
National issues did not enter in
to the election, but the effect upon
the country is precisely the same
as if the election had turned upon
hem. There is no mistaking the
warning herein conveyed to every
voter in the Stale of Oregon.
If a man wauts to discredit the
gold Btandard aud shut American
trade'out of the Orient, the best
way he can do it is to scratch the
Republican ticket June 4. Ore-
gonian.

P. F. Scharff, a sheepman of Deer

AGAIN IN JAIL.
Al Keeton and Wm. Wallace, who
broke jail at Canyon City early last
week, were captured Saturday above
Susanville by the posse of officers who
were giving chase, assisted by residents
of the Susanville country, and were re
turned to Canyon City Saturday even
mg anu lougea in jail. The escapes
were making their way for Granite, the
home of Keeton, but on account of the
early season of the year there was noth
ing in the mountains on which they
could subsist, and to escape under tbe
circumstances was almost impossible.
They are again safely in jail and will
be allowed absolutely no liberties in the
future. Eagle.

PASSED AWAY.
At the family home in Heppner last
Saturday evening Mrs. C. A. Rbea, wife
of C. A. Rhea, tbe pioneer stockman
and president of the . First National
Bank, passed peacefully to the great
beyond.
Mrs. Rhea's maiden name was Eme
line S. Adkins, and she was born in
Kirksvillu, Mo., January 6, 1848. She
came to Oregon with her parents in the
spring of 1865, and resided near Eugene
City. On January 22. 1898, she was
married to C. A. Rhea, and in June,
1868, came with him to Rhea creek,
being the first white woman to make
her home there. She lived there until
1899, when Mr. Rhea bought the Fell
residence in Heppner and moved the
family to town.
For the past nine months Mrs. Rhea
has been sick in bed, and through it all
she was very patient. Loving hands
did all they could to ease the pain and
cheer tbe sufferer, and were glad to be
able to repay in part the loving care a
kind mother had bestowed upon them.
That Mrs. Rhea was one of the
noblest and kindest of women is abun
dantly testified to by the many neigh
bors and friends who came for miles to
attend her funeral Tuesday. The farm
ly residence was thronged with sorrow'
ing people, who overflowed into the
spacious grounds. The services were
conducted by Rev. M. V. Howard, of
the M. E. church, South, which de
ceased had joined in early girlhood
There was sweet singing by a quartette
composed of P. M. Howard, W. C
Howard, Mrs. W. P. Dutton and Miss
Emma Welch, who rendered "Asleep
in Jesus," "Beloved, it is Well," and
"Abide With Me."
The pallbearers were Mayor Frank
Gilliam, P. O. Borg, Geo. Noble, S. W.
Meadows, T. W. Ayers and H. C. Gay
There was a short service at the ceme'
tery, and the sorrowing friends assent
bled sang the Sweet Bye and Bye.
When the mound was heaped up it was
covered with an immense mass of fra
grant flowers, truly emblematic of the
eweet life Mrs, Rhea had led and the
'ovliness of her character.
Business was suspended during the
funeral, for the deceased was a good
woman who was universally respected
and esteemed. Tbe community mourns
her loss and shares tbe sorrow of her
husband and eight children, who are:
Mrs. Geo. W. Conser, Miss Lena Rhea,
Carl, Curtis and Waldron Rhea, of
Heppner; Mrs. Chas. Curtis, oi Rhea
creek; Mrs. W. E. Brock, of Pendleton;
and Mrs. J. N. Jones, of Idaho. Mrs.
Rhea leaves one sorrowing sister, Mrs
Jacob Waddell, of Missouri, and three
brothers, Dr. J. E., Jas. J. and Rev
Frank Adkins.

St. Paul, May 13. Three persons were
killed and two were seriously injured
during a severe wind and rain storm
this evening. The wind played havoc
with the telephone wires between this
city and Minneapolis. The coles of the
company for two blocks were strewn
over the track of the Inter Urban trol
ley line, thus blocking traffic for the
night. Sidewalks were displaced, and
buildings suffered.
Patrick Sexton, wholesale cigar deal
er, had been to Como Park with his
four children, and they were driving
home. On Dale street the storm dis
lodged the sidewalk, which crashed in
to Mr. Sexton's carriage, killing him al
most instantly and more or less injur
ing his daughter and 10-year-old son.
