HALWM, Mnr. 7. (Bjmclnl to Thn

irly watched thnso day In tha office
f Btato Knglnear-Lewis for tho of
Tlclal fnto of himself or bin colleague
limy depend upon tho drifting of any
on n of thnin. In fnct thn progress
if tbo gubernatorial raco Is probably
followed with no morn Interest In
iny place about tha stato thnn In that
vory office.
An will bo noted by tho voter whon
(boy cost tbulr ballots, tha offlco of
titnto engineer will not bo Includod
thereon, thn legislature! of 1916 pro
viding that when tbo prcsont Incuni
liont'i term expires, tbo offlco shall
thereafter bo appointive by tho Gov

pires January 6, 1019. and tbo rensnn
for speculation on thn part of himself
nnd bin offlco nt to tho result of tho
(gubernatorial content thereby bo
cornea cxtromoly obvious. Whlla tho
Jiowly oluctod Governor will not tnko
111 offlco until About January IS,
1911, tho matter in no loss ona of
decided Intercut. For tha last lols
latum also pasted a Iaw making ap

illod with tbu Socrotary of State onn
day after tbo law rolatlvo to tho ap
pointment of tha engineer, therefore,
"whoever Ih fl over nor, will havo tho
tinglnoor sorvlng under him at hli
pleasure.
Appoliitmrnt In Doubt
Thus, If somcouo olio happened ta
1m elected than Governor Withy
combo and tho prcsont Governor
named a successor to howls on Jan
uary C, It would bo within tbo powor
of tbo Incoming Governor to oust tbo
oxocutlvo's appointed nnd select
Homoono do. That Is not meant to
Indlcato that Low Ik might bo tho
choice of Governor WIthycombo
liut only to show that whoever In tho
jirosant Governor's successor will
Jinvo tho tolecllon of tho now on
Klnoor. Wlillo It Is understood that ho
as not altogether axpoctlng to got tbo
nppolnlmont, It Is pretty cortnln Mr.
jMvtln would accept It If It woro tond
orod to him. While, on tho othor
linud, Assistant Btato Englncor Por
oy A. Cupper, Is not taklivg any ma
terially nctlvo part In tho guberna
torial raco so far, other than holding
Ills oar oxtromoly clono to tho ground,
Mr. Clipper would havo no material
objection to accepting tho appoint
nnont himself, his friends Bay. O.
ILnurgnard, famed for hla work on
tho Tumalo project, nnd nlso city
onglneor for Portland, porhnps would
mall tho stato Job to his mast If ha
.could, but soma say that ha would
prefer to romaln In Portland whoro
iJio wlary Is a little fatter.
Kxpet. Announcement

this year, Tho registration for tho
Ilopiibllcnn party lu 1017 was ap

does not Include stationary, stono

numerous little details Incident to

rupt practices' act limits a randldato
to tbo expenditure or IT, per cent of
ona year's salary of the offlco to
which bo aspires. That wtmld bo
but $760 for a 16000 a" year Job,
How to make 7G0 stretch to meet
tha requirements will require soma
tall mnthamatlcal lucubrations.
Aslda from tho mero fnct opost

as printing, traveling and tho cus
tomary cigars are required boforo tbo
dear people can bo satisfied as to
tbo qualifications of the men thoy

Tho corrupt practices acj docs not

This should bo n good year for

During tho last loglslaturo Eastern
Orogon had tho speakership of tho

numhor of avowed candidates for
tho speakership aro bobbing up from
Westorn Oregon, apparently w.lth tho
bollet that It Is tho turn of this neck

ARRESTED
COMPLAINT MADE BY
J. E. WARNER
Alleged Cattlo Ilurtlm Accuse Each
Other of Theft Barney Cona-
way and Hooper Dyer Taken
In Cuttody
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Further complicating tho work, of
tho grand Jury of tho next session of
tbo circuit court was tho arrest yes
terday of Barney Conaway and Hoop
er Dyer, of Milllcan, on an order
from tho Crook county Justice court.
Both are accused ot stealing a heifer
from J. E. Warn or, who several
months ago waa bound over to the
Doschutea county grand Jury for an
alleged thett ot a cow and a steer
from Tom Hueston.
According to tho story Warner
told the sheriff ot Crook county.
Information as to whom bod bea
responsible, for hla missing heifer
was given him by Grover Caldwell,
who was glvon a hearing last week
on a charge of unlawfully taking a.
stcor belonging to U. S. Busanell, of
Powell Butte.
Following the first two arrests
officers supposed they had the aea
principally responsible -for the thefts
accomplished by what ts thought to
bo a ring of cattle thieves. That
thoy should evidently be robbiac
each other has turned the matter
completely around.
Conaway and Dyer,, the latter only
19 years ot age, .'appeared Friday as
witnesses for the state in the Cald
well bearing.
Deputy Sheriff Floyd Rowell, ot
Prlnevllle, took the two men la cus
tody yesterday evening. Beth had
bees VoTklng on the Sloan ranch at
Milllcan.
