Considerable rock will have to be taken out and blunt ing of same can be heard down to Pine Grove. The road are etill good, and ranchera are visiting the dam site dally, each teeming te take a great intereit in the enterprise. Some of the neighboring ranchers have of fered to aupply feed, hay and fi nance, and a general co-operative pirit prevail regarding the work, and that spirit cover all of Waplni tla Plalni. W. B, Keen, the old wheel home of the irrigation project, la again on the job. lie spent Monday in Mau plng greeting member:) of the lo cal guard, swapping jokes and dilat ing and the dam project Mr. Keen aays the dam Is going in, notwith standing the election. Wm. Hlckley, the engineer, is stepping around like a dog in high rye. He sees to it that the crew li kept busy enough to whet their appetites. The sub cut-off trench for the dam is about completed, the conduit pipe trench is dug, cabins, barns, cook house, roads, etc., are going up and being completed In good order. It ia the intention to complete as much of the dam this season as the weather will permit If condition)! allow the dam will be finished this fall, otherwise the work will be be gun in the spring as soon as pnnM ble, to that some water may be Im pounded for irrigation next season ARGUMENT FOR PROTECTION OF WOOL AND SHEEP MEN W. E. Hunt Advances Reasons Why Republican Ticket Should Be Elected W. E. Hunt, who runs thousands of sheep in this country, who pays taxes on several thousands acres of land and who has always taken a keen interest In political matters, told The Times man a story of an incident occurring during Cleve land's second administration, and which is germane to the present time: While driving his sheep from the mountains Mr. Hunt was approached by a young fellow who had walked from the Willamette Valley, and who asked for something to eat. Mr. Hunt fed him and the fellow stayed with Hunt during three night's camps. As they neared the Hunt ranch the stranger asked Mr. Hunt for steady work, and when asked what he would work for said; "I'll work for vou one vear at $9.50 a month, and if, at the end of the year you are not satisfied, you need not pay me a nlckle." At that time sheep herders were paid at the rate of $35.00 pr month. t Duing that teason Mr. Hunt mortgaged his whole outfit to John Holllngsworth. As the time for payment approached the mortgagee wanted his money and asked about payment Mr. Hunt had his sea son's crop of wool in the Moody . '. warehouse at The Dalles. He fold the eron for five cents a nound without rebate and had enough money from the sale to clear up his indebtedness. At the same time R. R. Hinton sold his wool for the came price, but with a rebate clause in the sale contract, and later was called upon to rebate two cents on each pound of wool sold; actually receiving three cents a pound for . his crop. Those were the times when wool was on the free list, and as it is a democratic practice1 to tinker with the tariff, there is no guaranteo, if Smith is elected, that our staple will not again be allowed to decline in price until our sheepmen go broke. It is a matter to interest all think- ing voters, and they should take warning by the above and vote ac cordingly. E. T. Halbrook was in Maupin a short time yesterday, being on his way to Shaniko, where he will at tempt to catch predatory animals for Uncle Sam. BUSINESS VTRSUS OFFICE ' FOR BREAD AND BUTTER Successful Business Man Better for Sheriff Than One Whose Mark Is Yet to Be Made In choosing a man to transact your buslneis it naturally follows that a successful one is preferable to one who has yet to be tried in the hard business world. The same ap plies to the choice of officers to transact the business of the county. There is one office within the gift of the people that requires a man with large and varied experience, and that is the office of sheriff. There are two candidates running for the Job one a tried and ucefs ful business man, the other without business reputation and who has yet to be classed among those who have made a success in life. The one has been a resident and rancher for many years, later going to The Dalles, where he conducts a well known real estate agency, and who has clients who would not deal with any other man in his line, for the reason they have always received a rquare deal In their relations with him. , I The other man is young in years; I he knows nothing of the require-. mcnts of the office of sheriff, hav- j ing entered the race for the job with j the desire to provide a living for his family, not Just for the good he ' might do the county. Both are well i known citizens, one through his ' busine s relations, the other through family connections. By electing "Sid" Johnson to the office of sheriff the voters of Was co coupnty will have chosen one man who will be a credit to the office and the county. He possesses all the attributes of an ideal officer. Is versed in county business matters and will tcrve all with the same courtesy. He does not seek the of fice for its emoluments, for he has plenty of this world's goods to live on. His desire is to give the county an administration of honesty, to be economical and to follow the dic tates of the law without fear or fa vor. He makes no promises of a character which might cause him to bat an eye to infractions of the law and will make a record in the office which will rebound to his credit and at the fame time be a money saver to the county as a whole. A vote for "Sid" Johnson Is a vote for a man who is in every way qualified for the office of sheriff, and he should receive the support of every voter who is desirous of seeing an era of economy and good govern ment in the good old county of Was co. MAN CLAIMED TO BE DESERTER Asked That Military Authorities Be Notified of Presence About two weeks ago a man who game the name of Arthur Hull ap peered in Maupin and to Joe Kra mer said he was a deserter from the Jarmy, having been stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He asked Joe to no tify the military authorities of his presence so he could be taken into custody. Kramer got in touch with the military at Vancouver Barracks, and on Wednesday morning received ' word that there was no record of the man's desertion there. Hull claimed to have served a three-year enlist ment and to have taken another "hitch." He was given a short fur lough and foiled to return to his 'contingent He Uft for Portltnd , Wednesday, caylng be would go o j Vancouver im give himself up, ! ing willing to stand punishment for his desertion. Home For Visit Charley Lake, who has been doing special write-up work in the south ern part of the state, returned Sat urday and on Monday went to Wa mlc, where he will visit with his parenti for a time.
