COUNTY JUDGE.
The Milton Eagle Bays:
The Eagle Dotes with ' pleasure
that its old friend, Judge A. G.
Bartholomew, of Heppner, is again
a candidate for county judge of
Morrow county on the republican
ticket. The Eagle editor was in
timately acquainted with tbe judge
when bo was a plain citizen of
Milton, and in justice to him we
desire to bear testimony to his
worth as a citizen and man. With
such a man as Judge Bartholomew
at the bead of affairs in Morrow
county her finances can hardly go
wrong, and we would earnestly ad
vise our neighbors to re-elect him
by all means.
Although Henry Gay is a can
didate for sheriff on the prohibi
tion ticket, he does not want any
man to waste a vote on him, and
will himself vote for Mr. Becket,
whom he highly recommends as a
competent man and good neighbor.
Ed Cox as county commissioner will
work at ail times for the best interests
of the whole county.
MORROW COUNTY TICKET.
Mat Lichtenthal has proven liimseZf a
most competent county treasurer, and
should be re-elected. He has always
given the county a good name by
promptly paying up state taxes, and he
is one of Heppner's old reliable pioneer
merchants. Vote for Mat. He came
here 21 years ago, and has always been
a hard-working citizen and tax-payer,
and has earned the respect of all.

NO REGRETS.
Four years ago. many Democrats
voted tbe Republican ticket and
played a very important part in
electing a Republican administra
tion. They thought that if they
did so it would restore confidence
and cause a return of prosperity.
Their calculations were correct,
and they have had no cause to re
gret their political action.
rrosperity returned, and it was
warmly welcomed by people who
bad felt the sting of adversity.
Continue to vote for prosperity
and the Republican ticket.

PEOPLE ARE WANTED
Tlie New Town of
SPRAY
Wants People to Come and Locate in it.
There are good openings for Furniture and
Drug Stores, a Physician, and several other
lines of business. If you are hunting a loca
tion, come to Spray.
Spray is well located on the John Day
River, 47 miles from Heppner, and has a
new $1000 public hall, $1500 hotel, telephone
line, general store, feed barn, saloon, black
smith shop, and several dwellings going up.
MORE MAIL.
Teople who live in Wheeler
county, at and around the new
town of Spray, are being neglected
in the matter of mails. They need
a post office there, and ought to
have one right away. The postal
department does not seem to re
alize how fast the great interior
of Eastern Oregon, is being settled
up and populates, and it snould
wake np to the fact right away.
This great region is making
much more rapid strides in the
path of progress than is Western
Oregon, and its eiiternrieine. Dush-
ine DeoDle should be afforded every
facility to keep in toucn witn tne
outside world.
Mails to and from the great John
Day country are altogether too
slow, and nhould be expedited.
Mails to lieDDner only come b
times a week where they ought to
come 7.
Let the rxmt office deoartment
revise its schedules and pot push
ing places on its list to be expedited.
SPLENDID RECORDS.
A rant amount of favorable
comment has been made upon the
splendid financial condition of
Morrow county. This pomes not
alone from her citizens, but from
the press in vanouB portions
tne state wno nave given us some
very flattering notices on our good
showing.
Four years ago when the pres
ent management of our county af
fairs took possession of their re
spective oflices, our county was be
tween tbirty-five and forty thou
sand dollars in debt, Taxes were
uncollected in some instances for
seven years. Every dollar of in
debtedness that was paid called for
twenty-five cents additional for in
terest and county warrants and
clerk's certificates were selling at
from 80 to 95 conts on the dollar.
At the prewent time warrants,
although drawing only 6 per cent
as against 8 per cent at that time,
worth their face in gold, and
eagerly sought for by careful in
vestors. Not one cent of the de
linquent tax stands against s foot
of real estate in the county, and
the 1899 tax roll shows sufficient
good taxes to pay every dollar our
county owes end if collected at the
present time wonld pay ub out of
debt and luwe money In the treas
ury. Whut better showing could be
made?
Of the raemlers constituting the
Hoard of County Commissioners
J. L. Howard holds over for two
years. J. W. Beckett is the repub
lican candidate for sheriff.
We bejieye the voters should
make no change in the County
Judge's oflice, and that Mr. Becket
hhould be elected sheriff for he has
proved a valuable officer for the
past 4 years, and will make an effi
cient sheriff.
Malcolm Moody, our represents
ive in congress from this district:
is one among the few men on the
floor of the national legislature
whose presence is felt by his col
eagues. He is active and ener.
getic and never loses sight of the
act that he iB occupying his pres-j
ent position as a servant to the
people of Oregon. Mr. Moody is
an Eastern Oregon man and will
further the interests of this partic
ular portion of the state to the
best of his ability. The voters of
this congressional district should
see that he is returned, and thus
show their appreciation of a man
who performs his whole duty re
gardless of what others may think
or say.
THE EAGLE BIRD.
One of the best and brightest
papers of Umatilla county is the
Milton Eagle. Its last issue con.
tained the following:
Persons looking for a man com
petent to ably administer justice
from the bench in this district
should vote for W. II. Ellis, of
Heppner. Mr. Ellis is one of
the most learned attorneys in the
state and is fully qualified in every
way to discharge the difficult du
ties of the position he seeks to ac
quire. If the people of the sixth
district elect him circuit judge they
will never regret their action.
When you enter the booth to
vote on election day don't forget
the name of Asa B. Thomson, nom
inee for joint representative from
Morrow and Umatilla counties on
the republican ticket. Those who
know Mr. Thomson say he is
prince of good fellows and a very
able man besides, acd he should
be elected by all means.
The Eagle is not a republican
organ in the sense that it believes
all acts of the party above criticism,
bat its principal tenets are correct
and calculated to inspire confidence
abroad in our integrity as a nation
when that party is in power. Bry
anism is but another name for re
pudiation and national dishonor.
The new issues which the crafty
Nebraska politician advocates to
day are but a blind to liide those
that he failed to inflict on the peo
ple four years ago by reason of his
defeat to the presidency. His
election as chiet executive of the
United States would mean a long
period of depression like that ex
perienced from 1891 to 189(5, and
we believe nobody is overly auxious
to again bring about these conditions.
WAR TAXES.

Payne's resolution for a woe die
adjournment June 0 will be favor
ably reported to-morrow.
