The supplement sent out by
this Rreat religious weekly last
issue is nn exact duplicate, of Un
official ballot to bo voted at
Tucscay'3 election. Thoso pro
posed laws should bo studied
carefully by all beforo they en
ter the booth as it will require
some time for each man to cast
his vote and in the larger pro
cincts it will take the entire time
from the opening of the polls to
accommodate tho voters. Wo
would suggest that each mark a
sample ballot beforo entering
the. booth and then go by num
bers when voting the official
ballot Such method will facili
tate matters and lesson possible
confusion.
The voters should be careful in
voting for higher salaries to pub
lic officers. None of Micm got to
much pay, perhaps, but they
know the salary beforo asking
for the office and therefore
should pot accept unless they are
satisfied. Some of these offices
Day better in proportion to tho
work required than others. Some
are not intended to support the
officer for the. work doesn't re
quire all his time and should not
be sought by any man who has
not some business or other means
of support
Is most modern and well arranged
with every possiblo convenience
Wo congratulate our city on hav
ing audi a progressive phono
system.
TO TIIH VOTKRS.
I stand for re-election upon my
pnst administration. Impartiality
compliance with tho directions
kf thoso officers who by statute
may direct me tho prompt exe
cution of nil work intrusted to the
ahoriil's office will bo my rule of
action, as horctofoio. A slienll
is judged by his ability to per
form tho outside work of the
office, whilo at the, samo time ho
supervises tho insido work. Tho
serving of writs anil tlio appre
hension of accused persons con
stitute the principal part of tho
outside work of tho sheriff ; and
they are oftentimes most disa
greeable tasks. Asshorifl'Ihavc
never shirked these duties! and
if re-elected I shall continue to
perform these dutio3, in porson,
and will not delegate to a doputy
any task that which tho peoplo
properly expect a sheriff to per
sonally perform.
A. K. RlCHAlinsON, Burns. Ore,
Paid Adv,
The Times-Herald, last week,
published an article from tho
Bend Bulletin in which it ques
tioned the motive of the propos
ed good roads law, stating it was
in the interests of bonding peo
ple. We fail to see why this
should interfere particularly as
it is not compulsory. We don't
have to bond a county or district
for road purposes. The privilege
of bonding a school district was
not for the bond people and yet
it is a mighty good thing.
The Times-Herald would urge
upon voters to sekct good, clean
competent men for all offices to
be filled at Tuesday's election.
Good public offices are most de
sired and those who have shown
themselves such should have your
consideration.
When Senator Bourne's man
"Friday" fights Oswald West it
is conclusive evidence that there
is no Chamberlain-Bourne combination.

Van Embrec came in tho first
of tho week upon learning of tho
death of his father, Dr. f. V. B.
Etnbrce, at Dallas. Ho did not
go- down for tho funeral as ft. is
such a distance. The Polk coun-
tv Observer in writing of the
deceased says in part.
Doctor Embrec was married in
Corvallis in 1868, his bride being
Miss Annie E. Finlov, u native
of Santa Clara, California, and a
sister of John I Finloy, the pio
neer undertaker of Portland. To
this union wore born sev
children, three of whom aro liv
ing. The surviving children aro
Clyde and Van Embree, of Har
ney County, and Mrs. Armand
Guthrie, of Dallas. He is alw
survived by two brothers, Mark
and John B. Embree, and two
sisters, Mrs. T. J. Haytorand
Mrs Alice Dcmpscy -all resident
of Dallas.
The Doctor was a life long
member of the church and was a
licensed minister of the gospel.
Ho was one of the earliest mom
bers of Jennings Lodge, A. F. &
A. M., having been mndo a
Mason in that lodge in the late
'50s. He was also a member of
tho Oregon Pioneer Association,
and at the time of his death was
Grand Commander of the Oregon
Indian War Veterans.
Doctor Embree was a man of
strong personality. He was an
original thinker and ready speak
er. Ho vas outspoken in the
defense of his views and opinions,
but was always ready . to listen
to th. opinions of others. Ho
enjoyed opposition; itsomotimes
seemed as if ho courted it But
back of this brusque exterior
there beat a heart filled with
love for his fellow-man and with
sympathy for the afflicted and
the distressed. If at times his
manner seemed somewhat abrupt,
it was because his long experi
ence in the school of hard knocks
had taught him to dospiso sham
and hypocricy. Doctor Embree
was a fine type of the sympa
thetic, self-sacrificing country
doctor of the old school. Ho
earned a fortune; he collected a
bare livelihood, and died leaving
his family little but tho heritage
of a good name. Now, that ho
is gone, it is comforting to thoso
who knew and loved him to re
flect that "blessings ever wail
on virtuous deeds, and though a
late, a sure reward succeeds."-
County court has been in ses
sion since Wednesday with Judgo
Rector and Commissioners Smyth
and Staliard all present. Tho
reports of tho road mastors were
all found correct and nppoved.
Dist. No. 1 was given an appro
priation of $300; No. 2, $300 and
No. 3, $200 for road purpoos.
Petition of A. Horton to abandod
an old road in his vicinity was
allowed. Report of viewers on
the C. M. Salisbury potition for
road approved and ordered open
ed. The school distrit boundary
Inmrd created a now school dis
trict, No. 43, whore Miss Mc
Kcnzio and others petitioned for
it, and changed the boundaries
of school districts 18, 25 and 42.
Tho court will likely appoint an
expert this morning to expert
tho county books, from tho date
of tho last report on them up to
January 1, 1911.
0RW10N (H)IN(l DRY.
Every election for tho pnst six
years has givon n greater and
grantor victory for tho qrys,"
dooltirod J. J. Handshaker, of
Portland, in hit recent tour of
Harney county. Beginning with
a small majority of 3.11-t in 1901
for local option tho vole has
steadily grown until "ie majority
of 12.991 ngaiiiBtfu Rcddy bill
of two years ago. "Home Rule"
speakers to the contrary, the
Home Rule bill of this yoar is
nothing else than tho Rcddy bill
so far as tho liquor question is
concerned, and on tho liquor
phase of that bill it was downed
by a tolai vote of 52,3-10 in 1908.
Nothing has occurred to change
tho sontimonls sof tho votora in
that time. A great howl is boing
made about tho "search and
seizure" clauso 6f tho Prohibi
tion law, but that law has been
on our statute books for six yenrs,
is, in fact, a part of tlio very
local onlion law which the "Home
Rule" man claims to lovo so for
vontly. The "search" claqso is
exactly the samo as in tho local
option law and no one's "sister's,
wife's or mother's bedroom has
boon broken into at midnight"
during tho six years wo have had
the law. Tho now law merely
ad Is a section requiring seizure
as well as search. No search
without duo process of law has
ovor boon proposed.
With these two point cleared
up, and all it needs is a reading
of tho bills, the "Home Rule
lightning disappears.
But has a ranchor any right to
say how the town should conduct
its saloon business V As long as
tho rancher furnishes boys and
hired men to run tho town's
saloons, .u long ns ho must pay
heavier taxes because of the
crimo caused by the town saloon,
as long as all tho rvrnuo goes to
the town ni. i the rancner pays
tho bulk of the increased taxes
that long it is tlr1 i unchers Ihibi
ness whether I" 'own bus
saloons. Long t'v . rocivod
S400 license money from one of
its saloons but Grant county' had
to pay $8000 costs and furnish
soven lives as a result of one row
in one of Long Crock's saloons
Your personal liberty to cat
pic" ends and minu begins as
soon as you oat a kind of pic that
causes you to want to kill me.
If boot legging whiskey is bad
it certainly has no worse effect
than tho.$l.C0 worth of liconso
whiskey bought in a Narrows
saloon which cost this county
several lives and $30,000 coats.
The; "wots".considor their caso
desperate as they aro pouring
out money by tho thousands to
defeat prohibition but the people
of Oregon have lost confidence
in their oft repented promise to
"be good" and have been com
pelled to declare for the annihi
lation of the traffic in the state.
