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

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
