that if elected, he will furnish pri

, At the primary election Will L.
Doud, who is running for the office
of county assessor, led the ticket
with a handsome majority. He stood
for tax equalization, and tax re

promised a square deal to all. If -elected
Mr. Doud will be a real as
sessor and courteous county offi

his office will be given the t-onsid-

manner. Mr. Doud i a real estate

leave no stone unturned to make as- ,
sessments as equal as ' is possible.
He will play no favorities and will

square valuation, and will also cee

Henry Scherrer needs no. intro- '
duction to the people of Wacco
county. He is a native son, comes
of a family well and favorably
known, and is one of the most
promising men of the county. He
has had considerable experience in
the clerk's office and is well in
formed regarding the duties there
of. He received one of the larga.t
votes given candidates at the pri-
limory election and will fulfill the
duties of the office with dignity,
honesty and guarantees that all fees
coming into the clerk's department
will be turned into the coffers of
the county.
Christ Fauerso is the man choren
by the county court to take the
place made vacant by the resignation
of the late county engineer. He is
one of the best known engineers and
road buildes in the west and was
chosen because of his especial fit
ness for the position, as the road
question in Wasco county is a vexed
one and needs a man of ripe ex
perience to straighten matters out.
Mr. Fauerso is a member of the so
ciety of Military Engineers, a past
associate member American Society
Civil Engineers and belongs to the
the state and the country as a
whole which makes for an able,
diligent and progressive representa
tive. His opponent has been grant

circles, but has woefully fallen down
in many matters in which he might
have bettered the district and state.
