After a brief sojourn in Portland the happy young couple arrived in Zena in time to enjoy the congratula tions of almost the entire community, which was assembled to receive them, at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J, R. Shepard. The good people of the Zena neighbor hood are all splendid entertainers and know how to make their social gather- ngs enjoyable. They have had frequent opportunities of late to dem onstrate this, there being no less than six couples present who have been recently married. The newly married pair were the recipients of many use ful and beautiful presents. They will reside in the neighborhood near the groom'sboyhood home. Salem States man. jTTORXEY AT LAW J. L.

Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good w ith the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that.

Scorr & Eowwe Chem'ut 409 Pearl St. , N. V. $oceaaa&4 $1.00 Formal announcement of his candi dacy for the nomination for Governor of Oregon atthe Republican primaries in April has been made by Charles A. Johns, who is serving his third term as Mayor of Baker Ciiy. Mr. Johns is very popular in his home town and no person has a stronger indorsement from his fellow citizens. In his platform the candidate puts himself on record as favoring a business administration of the state government, that the state school fund should have laws enacted for protec tion, for a tax on corporations, for state bank examiner, fair trial for primary law, with Roosevelt on the labor question, education of Oregon youth at home. The platform in full is as follows : "The affairs of state should be con ducted with a high sense of honor and on sound business principles and a broad plane of equality, and to that end there should be a watchful care and vigilance over every department. The high and the low, the rich and the poor should receive the same courteous treatment, The laboring man has the same right to be heard as the railway magnate or the million aire. "The state school, fund should be treated as sacred, and there should bo no juggling with school lands. A law should be enacted, preventing specu lation in, or the sale or assignment of school land certificates. The Land Agent should not be allowed to have any favorites or speculate through knowledge obtained by "virtue of office. There should be no adjuncts to or around this office and it should always be above suspicion. "All kinds of property, including franchises, should be required to pay a just and reasonable tax. and express and similar companies should pay a tax on their gross earnings in the state. "A law should provide for a State Bank Examiner with conservative plenary power. 'The primary law was enacted by a vote of a large majority of the people and is entitled to, and should be given. a fair trial and should be respected both as to its meaning and intent. "From sentiment and couviction, i stand with President Roosevelt on the lanor question, and am in thorough accord with him on the question or railroad legislation. "I am 'a firm believer in, and an ardent supporter of our public school system. Favor liberal support to, and a high standard of, education; and with rare exceptions think our our own boys and girls should be educated within the state of Oregon. "If successful, in my administration the needs and wishes of the people will be tho only boss and the only machine, and there will be no favorites and nobody will have a pull, and I will eive the state an honest, clean, conscientious and vigilant adminstra tion, of the people, by the people and for the people."

STATE PRINTING OFFICE ANOTHER PLATFORM Amendment to Constitution Provid ing for State Ownership and Regulation of Pay. Claude Gatch Declares His Candidacy for Nomination as Secretary of State. James E. Godfrey, foreman of the state printing office, who is the oldest practical and union printer still In active service in the state, has been engaged for some time past in formu lating an amendment to the state con stitution providing for the regulation of the state printing and binding, to be submitted to the people by means of the initiative petition. Mr. Godfrey represents the wishes of Capital Typo graphical union, which appointed him a committee to consult with other unions and obtain such action as would best subserve the interests of the state and be fair to all parties. Through his labors, the members of Multnomah union No. 58, have taken the matter up and the result of their joint deliberations has been the draw ing and adoption of an amendment to article XII. section 1. of tho constltu tion in the following terms: "Section 1.

The duties of this office being ad ministrative, the views of a candidate on the larger questions of general and state government would not pertain to the conduct of that office.
