I can see no reason why a greater number should be on the county payroll at the present time. The work of the Sheriff's office is no greater now than it was four year3 age, in fact, there is probably less for that officer to do. A few years ago, the county jail occupied much of the sheriff's time and attention. As every voter knows the criminal element in Polk, as in all other counties in Oregon, has, practically disappeared, and our county jail stands empty for months at a time. This releases the Sheriff's office from much extra work and attention.' The war .has not added greatly to the duties of any county officer ,as the capable young woman in the office of the local council of Defense at tends to practically all of the correspondence, in addition to lending other aid. The war work of the Sheriff is largely executive, rather than clerical. I can see no reason for employing more than one deputy in the Sheriff's office, except at tax collecting time, and if elected nextTuesday, I promise to conduct the office under the same conditions which now exist, with one assistant, thus saving to the taxpayers of olk County the salary of one deputy.

Simpson were political visitors in Monmouth early in the week. Floyd D. Moore was shaking hands with voters in Monmouth Tuesday. Carl Pollan and Walter Rasmus sen have gone to the headwaters of the Luckiamute where they are to work in the logging business. Ed Pagenkopf, formerly of Monmouth,, but more recently of Bend, is to locate once more in Polk county. He has bought the Moserman property near the poor farm at Talmage and has taken possession. Mrs. Martha Roberts of Portland was a visitor this week with her mother, Mrs. J. P. Dewitt. The Portland Well Drilling com pany, Mr Scott manager, is work ing at present on the Whiteaker farm north of town taking up pipe which was put down in a well seek ing for oil some time ago. With the high price of iron no source of supply is being overlooked. Wm. Riddell, Sr., who has been entertaining some of Job's comfort ers, is getting the best of them. It is difficult to tell just how ser iously the epidemic of influenza is affecting Monmouth. Citizens are taking heed to the admonition to stay at home ; there have been very few children on the street during the week and so far as is known few new cases have develop ed. It took a little effort to dis courage the crowd which gathers to visit in the post office lobby dur ing the early evening but Mayor Wolverton was equal to the occa sion and the young people, who were the chief offenders have learn ed to get their mail and go about their business.
