JPe?t now there appears to be
Isifie&3ubt bat .that it is Senator
Cidss of Oregon. Once the cam
ipeiga started it was epeedily seen
JfSasi the oft-boasted personal popu
larity of Oeocge the Governor was
vtsSso almighty stout as it once
Various things that some
f8ts fe&ve known about our chief
s&5f.tke have come to light, and
at lot of isl'ks are today doubtfal if
fJeece was such a whale of a man
after all
The "D-afirvr Oregon makes it
ittstcSzsioiis for Cake the better for
rgen. Tcere are a fetv places
tR-i.fra party polities still count;
fc'xef vJiu't usually in city, county
sad -SislTict affairs; but they do in
xcae.l affairs, especially in the
Krcet hou-;e of Congress, where
"fib 'CiG.jority patty gets what it
and the minorit- si's tight
id'jr. &itp. Oregon wants a lot of
S&& fiom Congress; it can never
p?t. feem through a democratic
re az&MZ.
This bill ia submitted under the initia
tive (or the following, among other, rea
boos;
A co nty ia a public corporation and
it la apparent that aection 2 of article XI,
of the Constitution of Oregon, as amend
ed. reserves to the people the right to
create a county by initiative vote.
There ia no ueneral law for the crea
tion of countiea now, and no one kn iwa
when, it ever, there will be one. The
The facta aa to area, population and aa
sesssed valuation show that e are able
to maintain a county government. Out
of a population of about 7.500 the desire
of a county for the Hood River country
is earnest and unanimous with the ex
ception of a small fraction of one per
cent. We are assured by leading citi
zens of The Dalles, Dufur and other
portions of Wasco county that they have
no objections to the creation of Hood
River County aa proposed in this bill.
More than 400 residents of The Dalles
and Dufur have signed the petitionsask
ing that this bill be submitted to a vote
at the June election, though forty-five
names from Dufur were received too late
to be filed with the Secretary of Stata.
Tbe people of the Hood River country
therefore ask favorable consideration of
the voters of the State upon this bill for
these, among other, reasons:
Because the new county will be a
great benefit to the people residing
therein und will facilitate the transact
tion of their county business.
Because as the law stands a county
cannot-be created by the Legislature;
and finally,
Because the people of The Dalle and
the balance of Wasco county are willing
that Hood River County may be created
as provided in this bill.
The assessed valuation in the pro
posed Hood River County in 1903 was
ID08.EGS 00 ; in 1906 was $1,618,(570.
showing a gain in valuation from 1003 to
1906 of 8710,102 00, or about 78 per cent.
The valuation in 1907 wa $2 762,250 00;
a gain oyer 1906 of 81,143,580.00, or
Bbout 70 per cent, showing the propor
tionate increase from 1906 to 1907, to be
almost as gi eat as that in three years
from 1903 to 1906.
The proposed Hood River County has
a population of about 7,500; an are of
about 500 square miles; 'and twentv
school houses, seven of which are grad
ed schools having from two to eight
room each and with a $30,000.00 high
school under construction.
There will be left in Wasco County,
after Hoed River County is created, an
area of 1,646 square mil?a, a population
af 11.500; and a valuation of $5,457,720.
thus leaving it among the largest and
strongest counties of the State,

Friday afternoon, May 2G, at 2
o'clock, the last sad ritea were paid
to tbe memory of Charles Edgar
Redfield, who for 11 years has
been one of Morrow county's lead,
ing attorneys and prominent citizens.
Mr. Redfield and family moved
here from Pendleton in the year
1897, and bought the Frank Mc
Fatland residence property on
North Main street which was
swept away in the flood of 1903,
drowning his wife and daughter
Blanche.
He was recognized as a fighter
in courts and never did he quit as
long as there was a chance or a
court left to appeal his cases.
He was a man of large acquaint
ance throughout the state, having
been a Btrong democrat and a hard
worker for that politic! faith.
Mr. Redfield graduated from the
Albany Law School, Albany, New
York, and was admitted to the bar
in 18S2. He tried his first case
before Judge Alton B. Parker and
won it. Id 1904, he was a dele
gate from this state to the demo.
cratio national convention that
nominated Judge Parker for tha
presidency.
He came West and boomed
Ocosta, Wash., on the Sound for
the N. P. railway and in the year
1S92 moved to Pendleton where
he practiced law until he came to
Heppner, later becoming associated
with S. E. Van Vactor in the law
firm of Redfield & Van Vactor.
About two vears ago he was
married to Miss Elanore Cameron,
one of Pendleton's accomplished
and most highly psteemed daugh
ters, and just recently bought the
J. L. Avers property' on Chase
street and fixed up a comfortable
little home.
His connection wiih the Hep
pner coal mines is well known
to all our citizens.
Charles Edgar ItedGeld was
born in Bloomingburg, X. June
11, 1863, and died in this city May
23, 1908, at 10:40 a. m., after a
short illness.
He leaves a young wife in this
city heart broken, to mourn his
loss along with his aged parents
who yet live in Bloom iugburg. j
Mrs. J. I1. Dunn aud son Chas.
W., of Tekoa, iVash, sister and
nephew, are the only near relatives
in the West. Ms. Dunn attended
the funeral. He leaves three
i brothers, Will and Frank, of
Bloomingburg and George of East
Orangp, X. J., and a sister, Mrs.
W. A. llutledge, aside from Mrs.
Dann, living in Philadelphia.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the wife
and family.

city. Rrv. Q.iinney, of Pendleton,
