COUNTY r OREGON.
A SILLY PRACTICE-
A silly nd demoralising practice is
that of biditinjt fur the count printing.
The comity publisher, thumsflvee ere
often responsible for thi practice. In
order to keep the other fellow from get
ting the work they offer to do it for lest
than the leg I rate. If rates can be thus
cut once, the officer argue, they can be
cnt again and each1 time thereafter bids
are asked.
If bids are aked on doing certain
printing why should not bids be asked
for holding office! Letthe law be amend
ed to permit the governor to advertise
each year for persona to 611 the various
offices of the state. Let the job of office
holding to the lowest bidder. Such a
plan would be as sensible as the common
custom of asking bids on publishing
county work.
The fvroper thing for newspaper pub
liners to do is to decline all temptations
to cut the rate. Printer's Ink.

I am prepared to- receive and care for
bucks during the summer of 1897 on my
excellent range at the forks of Uuckhorn
and Reaverdam creeks. My separating
corral wiN he at my own ranch. I
will make one deliverv of bucks at Con
don on the lfHh of October and the re
mainder at I-one Rock on the 26th of
October, 1897. I will charge one dollar
per head for ail bucks placed in my care.
Ed Compton, Lone Rock.
Among the decisions handed down by
the supreme court in Pendleton recent
ly was one in the ease of McKennon
va. American Fire Insurance Company,
garnishee. The main poiat in the case
is that of sustaining the validity of the
homestead exemption law passed at
former session of the legislature. The
appeal grew out of the Cotner Insurance
case. McKennon garnisheed the insur
ance company for a debt owed by Cotner
and the company refused to pay on the
grounds that the amount of the policy,
about $900, was exempt from execution.
The homestead exemption act provides
that a free bolder may claim exemption
to the amount of $1,600. Nearly all the
circuit courts of the state have decided
that the law is inoperative, but the su
preme court has now affirmed the valid
ity of theact.
To The Public.
I have taken charge of the old Pod
son livery stables in Arlington and hope

JAMES W. SMIT
Desires to inform the people of Gilliam county that his
business is running on foil time at the old standy-Union
Block, Arlington, Oregon; that the flanhy, misleading
newspaper advertisements and circular letters that are
flooding the country have not affected his trade; but on
the contrary, sales have been increasing. His many old
friends and customers realize that no business man will
give away something for nothing. What he loses on the
"baits" he will more than doubly make-up on the other
goods he sells hiB customers. Look out for snares. One
of our greatest statesmen 40 years ago truthfully said:
"You can fool Borne of the people all of the time, and all
of the people some of the timo, but you can't fool all of
the people all of the time."
James W. Smith's immense stock of goods
will speak for him. Call and examine the
largest stock of goods ever shown in Gilliam
county. His stores are loaded from floor to
ceiling, and as regards prices he will en
deavor to keep in the "procession.
Many of the lines are bought direct from the East fn large
quantities for cash, which enables him to give his custom
ers great inducements to favor him with their patronage.
He sells the Oliver Chilled plows
and extras, including the New
Departure two and three gangs,
also the John Deere plows of all
kinds, the Studebaker, Bain and
Racine wagons, hacks and bug
gies, the Standard, Acme and Mc-
Cormack mowers, reapers and
hay rakes, the latest improved
Pitts threshing machinery, the
up-to-date old reliable Hodge
steel-frame headers, Holt Bros.
Combined Harvesters, Etc., Etc.
Camp and sheepmen's supplies a specialty.
Highest prices paid for hides, pelts, etc.
When in Arlington call and get pri
ces before closing deals elsewhere.
