Another sawmill Is to be built In che 'vicinity of Bond. Though not so largo .ib the mills which have been lullt hero In the past fear, the sow plant will be modern and up-to-date In every respoct and will furnish a substantial addition to the industries -of this section. The announcement of the enterprise was mado last Thursday following the filing of the Incorporation papers of The Gaulner Wllklnson Company, which will build and opernto the now mill. Tho mill will be built on tho Sis ters road about six miles west of town and closo to the timber In which the now company Is Interested. Tho timber lies In township 17 of ran go 11 and totals some 21,000,000 feet. Formerly owned by It. It. Oardnor and W. J.

Candidates Tell Why They -Expect Support of Voters To tho Voters of Crook County: Having boon requested by Tho 'Rond Uullctln to mr.ko a public state ment of my policies, through tho columns of The Uullctln, I herewith submit for our candid consideration u brief outllno of the policies upon which I stand and will follow it elected, and upon which I am ask ing your support for tho oinco of District Attorney of Crook county: I stand for the strict nnd Impar tial enforcement of all tho criminal laws. . The enforcement of tho law is In the hands of tho District Attor ney, nnd, if elected. It will bo ray policy to vigorously prosecute all violations thereof regardlosa of who the violators may be. There will be no special favors for friends or per sons of Influenco nor nny vindictive prosecutions of any foe, nor shall tho rich rccelvo nny more considera tion than the poor. In 1914 tho people passed the pro hibition amondment und tho 191G legislature enacted n law putting the amendment into operation. This law Is probably subject to moro viola tions than any other ono law on tho Htntuto books, and requires moro at tention from tho District Attorney's offlce. 1 will use my best efforts to nee that Uio law Is enforced to tho letter and nil violators punished as provided by the law. I will also conduct the office as economically as can be dono and yet obtnln the best results, and It shall lie my rim to have Indicted only thoso against whom I think there Is suf ficient evldenco to convict before a trial Jury. It is a useless expendi ture of money, besides an injury to society, to causo a person to bo in dicted and tried, costing tho county many dollars In witness fees, mileage and Jury fees, unless there Is suffi cient evidence to expect a conviction. Neither will I make tho offlco a clear ing house for neighborhood quarrels and disputes, thus making the county pay tho expense whon the civil courts hould hanale such affairs, but I will glv courteous attention to any nnd all complaint brought before me and make thorough Investigations and proceed according to tho results of such Investigations. 1 believe that the office of District Attorney is as much an office of a public defender as It Is an offlco of sa prosecutor, and I would protect those who need protection as earnest ly as would prosecute those who need prosecution. If 1 am elected I guarantee that I will not ask the county to furnish mo additional counsel to try mjr cases. The district attorney Is elect id for that purpose and ho should ) capable to try his case, without calling upon the county to bin help for him. That Is what he Is paid for. and unless he can handle the office LEWIS INSPECTS ROAD .State Engineer Ileio to Look Oicr Recent Work. On a trip of Inspection covering re cent work of the highway departmout In this section, State Engineer John H. Lewis arrived here yesterday morning and left this morning for the John Day country by way of Prlnevllle. While here Mr. Lewis went oer the new road to the south built this Bummer and nlso went up to East and Paulina lakes to study the possibilities of a road which will also open these scenic attractions. According to Mr. Lewis it is tho expectation of the stale to cooperate with tho federal government In build- ln throtlffh rn.lHa iftlitnr anrtlnn ft of the recent net and the counties win cooperate with the fprest Bervlce. Tho first allotments will be mado in December. Mr. Lewis said that work on the highway to tho south would be finished this week.

LANK TO KPF.AK United States Senator Harry Lane will open the Democratic campaign In Rend on Friday night, when he speaks here under the auspices of the local Wilson Club. Senator Lano Is making a tour of Central Oregon, coming hero from 'Condon. The Ilullctiu has asked tho various candidates for county office to nul mlt statements of Uiolr "platforms" or the grounds on which thoy appeal for votes at the coming election, and horewith presents tho statements furnished by tho candidates for dis trict attorney, Wlllard 11. Wlrtz and II. 11. De Armond. Mr. Wlrtx has submitted na bis statement a recent editorial from tho Crook Count) Journal, Tho "Oregon Voter," a political perlodicil rubllshed In Portland, and which Is not classed as a prohibition rrpej, lr. a recent Issue had the fol lowing to say regarding tho present prohibition law and Its enforcemeut in this u'ate: "Whllo we question both tho wis dom and the justice of prohibiten, wo admit frankly that considerable good has come of it In Oregon, "These good results havo come from Btrlct enforcement of tho new law. Let not this enforcement re lax. Public sentiment must stand as' a unit for vigorous prosecution of every bootlogger or luw-evader. "Experience in other states Is that prohibition does not prohibit; that there has boon moro drunken ness under prohibition than thore was before; but invariably It has been because tho law was not en forced, except nt first. "The state has taken a big Job. on Its hands, and unless it mrkes good b continued strict enforcement, our last condition will l worse than our first." In yrook county public sentiment has stood behind tho law ofllcern Not a prosecution for bootlegging or for a violation of tho prohibitory statute undertaken by District Attor ney Wirt In Crook county has failed, nnd several cases have been taken up. As the llend Press said In Its Issue of June 9. with law enforcing officers such as we have In Crook county, "there Is but little danger of flagrant violations." The officers that are en deavorlng to enforce the law In Crook county should be commended so that "strict enforcement may be continued." Cruok County Journal properly he should not seek It. I will glie the people of Crook county prompt, efficient and honest service. I belleie that I am quali fied for the office I have practiced law for six years, over three of which have been In this county. The practice I enjoy here and the success that I hare cttalned as an attorne should be sufficient evidence of ray ability to fill the office of District Attorney successfully, nespetcfully, II. II.
