The election is off in the future
some months yet, but it is said
that lightning rods are begin­
ning to appear in nearly every
section o f the county. The race
* is not always to the swift, but it
may be o f some advantage to
get in on the ground floor before
all the front seats are taken.
Some o f the papers up the val-
- ley are already beginning to
speculate on the probable candi­
date the republicans will put up
for governor tw o years henee.
This seems rather premature,
since tw o years’ time has been
known to work many " changes
in human affairs. It is pretty
safe to say, however, that the
state convention will not thsow
aw ay all chances for success in
making the nomination as was
done tw o yaars ago.

publisher o f the Graphic, says:
“ There has been a cry made that
the interurban would hurt the
mercantile trade- o f Spiceland.
Our merchants’ experience is
that their trade since the cars
began running has increased
handsomely over the correspond­
ing year. We have not heard a
word o f complaint from any o f
the merchants.” Another item
says: .“ The new interurban mail
service began M onday, and
Spiceland now gets four mails in
and four out each day.”
The writer was a resident o f
Newberg when, on three days in
the week, we watched for the
man on horseback w ho w ore a
yellow “ slicker“ and carried the
piail from Portland to La Fay­
ette via Newberg. That w as a
good deal better than when the
mail came only once a week, but
it was better still when the rail-
road-came along and began to
bring it every day, and no busi­
ness man suffered any injury
from the rapid changes that
came about, either,
The day is not very far distant
when Newberg will have the ad­
vantages of ¿n interurban line
from Portland, and the Graphic
will continue to try to show up
the necessity o f hastening the
day o f its coming, being fully
convinced that it will not injure
the business o f any man in tow n,
but rather that additional pros­
perity will be forced on every
man w ho has a dollar invested
in business. s

parisonsjure odious. If so, there
are many odious things in exist­
ence, for almost everything in
the w orld is matched with some­
thing else in point o f comparison.
ust now, while the subject o f
ligh taxes is paramount, a com­
parison o f the tax levy o f Yam-
nill county for the past thirteen
years is seasonable and may not
prove as odious as comparisons
usually are.
In 1892, upon a valuation o f
$5,569,358, the levy was 17
mills. Next year the valuation
fell to $5,402,231, and the levy,
on account afthe county bearin
considerable o f a debt, w as raise
to 26 mills. In J894 the valua­
tion increased to $9,111,839,
and the levy was reduced to 13
mills. The valuation remained
pretty well up. for the four suc­
ceeding years, the levies being for
1895 14 mills, ’96 16 mills, ’97
16 mills, ’98 14V2 mills. In 1899
the valuation was $5,035,245

this year the levy is 27.2 mills on

Commits Suicide.
i
Henry H. Alderman, sheriff o f
Tillamook county, committed
suicide on last Saturday by
shooting himself in the head. Mr.
Aldernfan greW to manhood near
Dayton, he being a son o f the old
pioneer of that name.
The
friends o f the family throughout
Yamhill county will be grieved
to. hear o f the sad ending o f the
son w ho w as highly respected.
The news account o f the affair
follows:
“ Mr. Alderman w as one o f the
best known and respected resi­
dents o f Tillamook where he had
resided m ost o f his fife. • The
present one was his third succes­
sive term as sheriff, which fact is
evidence o f his popularity politi­
cally. His integrity had never
been questioned until his books
were recently experted and a re­
port was made that a shortage
o f $6700 existed. He had just
recovered from a serious illness,
and in his weakened condition
took this very much to heart,
but declared that if such a short­
age existed, it was due to errors
in bookkeeping • and that he
could and would make it good.
Notwithstanding this a warrant
for his arrest was issued and
served
and in
desperation
amounting to temporary insan­
ity he killed himself.
Notwithstanding the report o f
the experts, Mr. Alderman’s
friends steadfastly refuse to be­
lieve he has been dishonest, and
if a shortage in his .accounts
really exists, they say it is due to
errors.
Mr. Alderman leaves
considerable property. He also
carried heavy life insurance,
which is much more than suffi­
cient to cover the amount o f the
alleged shortage.”
