Wallowa Chieftain: While the recent rains have cost the railroads considerable money and caused some delay in the mails, etc., they have been of untold benefit to the farmers and stockmen of Wallowa county. The raDges were sadly in need of just such a rain and the grass is taking a good start as a re sult. - "More rain, more grass," say the stockmen, and if they are di rectly benefitted then it follows that the remainder of the people will be benefitted in an indirect manner also.

I have placed my name before the vcters of Oregon for the Republican nomination for Railroad Commissioner, at the primary election to be held April 17. l!K)S. Commission work surely calls for a man of experience as the duties of a commissioner are of a serious and im portant nature. I have proven myself qualified for the posiiion, and I am the only candidate with two years previous experience in railroad commission work, having served on the railroad commission in 1S91 and 1892. If you believe in electing a man to this important office who will give the people a "square deal," and one who thoroughly understands a commission er's du y from past experience, I earn estly solicit your support and vote. Yours Respectfully, A. N. HAMILTON. In spite of the desperate efforts of the old machine and representatives of cer tain big "trusts" to accomplish his de feat, the nomination of II. M. Cake, champion of Statement No. 1 , lor United Stetes Senator on April 17tb, is general ly conceded throughout the state. It is predicted in Portland that he will carry Multnomah county by between 5000 and 6000. With few exceptions, the news papers of the state have ral ied loyally to Mr. Cake's support. In urging his nomination, the Polk County Observer says: , "Hon. II. M. Cake Is making a mag mncent campaign and his nomination, never seriously in doubt, is now prac tically assured by a rousing majority. Enthusiastic crowds have flocked to hear him in his trip through Southern Oregon and his tour of Eastern Oregon where le has always been strong with the voter, promises to be in the nature of a triumphal march. Mr. Cake is making a clean, dignified campaign, fiee from personality or abuse and is earn estly advocating the principles he be lieves to be right. He is an able, effect ive speaker who makes no attempt at high-flown oratory, but takes the people into his confidence and has a quiet heart-to-heart talk with them on the import ant issues now before the people of the state and nation the most effective oratory by the way, that can be indulged in by any speaker in this practical age. He dodges no issues, straddles no ques tions, but frankly discusses every sub ject in a manner that leaves no doubt in any mind as to its sincerity. In Mr. Cake the people feel they have a man whom they can trust: one who would represent tbem honorably and fearlessly in this Nation's highest law-making body. The 600 or less votes which he lacked in the entire state for the Sena torial nomination two years ago, will be made up to him thi time by the voters of Oregon,; with a few thousand more thrown in fof good measure."

A THIN ARGUMENT Sheriff Shutt's Enemies Seek to Deceive But Fail. fo The enemies of law-enforcement are trying hard to de feat Sheriff Shutt on the excuse that "he has had the office long enough." Shutt has been sheriff six years this spring by long odds the hardest in the county to fill properly. Geo. Conser served the people of Morrow county for 20 vears as bank cashier. Judge Bartholomew served eight years as county judge. County Clerk Morrow served eight years. Countv Cferk Crawford served eight vears. School Superintendent Shipley served eight -ears. County Clerk Lucas served "Gilliam countv 10 vears, and Sheriff AVilcox VI years. Countv Clerk Hodges served Crook countv VI vears. Sheriff Taylor of Umatilla county has no opposition a 4th term (8 years). Postmaster Smead is serving air S-war term. Governor Chamberlain is serving an 8-year term. State School Superintendent Ackefman is serving a 12-vear term. And the entire country has hundreds of such cases. Hasn't Sheriff Shutt performed all his duties as well and faithfully as any of these? An experienced and capa ble servant m office or on the ranch is always preferred to j a new and untried applicant. Nearly all the holler against Sheriff Shutt and his pol icies of law enforcement come from a few law-breaking es- tablishments along the Main street of Heppnea. The law abiding people of the county will not be deceived. The motto of the wide-open element is, "Anything to Beat Shutt,'' the man who has struggled faithfully for six years to impel a greater respect for the laws of our land and to raise the standard of citizenship. New Sawmill. The machinery for the new saw mill to be installed by Willardand Claude Herren. has been ordered and it is expected to arrive soma time during the latter part of this month. Just as soon as the roads will permit, the machinery will be hauled out and the mill will be put in operation as soon as possible. The capacity of the mill will be 12, 000 feet per day. The locatioa will be on Willard Hen-en's place in a good belt of timber. Mrs. Anna Everett, of lone, waa a Heppner visitor Tuesday tvett-iug.
