CITY COUNCIL.
New Councilman and City
Marshall Appointed.
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.

A. N. Hamilton for Rail
road Commissioner.
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.
