Win Shear 40,000 Sheep.
. fcneep - shearing began at
Smythe & Smith's plant five
miies south of Arlirurton todav.
Sixteen shearing machines will
be used, the power being fur
nished by a six-horsepower gas
line engine. Forty thousand
sheep will be sheared at this
plant this season and an average
of 2,000 head daily is expected.
Sheepmen report that that the
aheep are in good condition, but
tnat pasture is getting scarce.
This has been one of the most
successful lambing seasons
known, but few lambs being lost
from any cause.
To The Voters of the 28th Rep
resentative District:
An error made in preparing
my petitions, discovered too late
to correct, leaves my name off
the official primary ballot. The
only recourse left is to run as an
Independent at the June election.
This I have decided to do. Shall
be pleased to consider ballots
cast for me at the primary elec
. tion as an endorsement of the
action taken; and not as votes to
nominate'-"
" Am not allied with anv exist
ing faction and know of no rea-
Bin why if elected I should not
co-operate freely with the dis
trict delegation to be elected in
June concerning all matters that
may subserve the interests of
the people of this district as well
as those of the state at large. -
Wm. J. Mariner.
To the Voters.
In asking the Republican elec
tors of Gilliam county for the
nomination as County School
Superintendent, I believe that a
few facts concerning my school
work and qualifications are due,
that the voters may be able ' to
decide intelligently. I have
been engaged in the school work
in Oregon during the past ten
years and during that time have
taught in both city and country
schools, thus obtainine a cood in
sight into the requirements .Of
both city and country schools. -
The leading educators of this
state have have given me strong
recommendations as an able stu
dent and a conscientious worker
in the school room. I thus feel
fully qualified for the nositinn of
Superintendent of the schools of
uiliiam county and if nominated
and elected I will put forth every
effort for the . best possible , re
sults of the schools throughout
xne county. ; .
J. C. Sturgill.
Condon, Ore., March, 30, 190a
To Whom it May Concern: .
This is
to certify that Mr. J. C. Sturgill
has charge of the Condon Pnhlir
Schools and we as a school board
find in him an industrious and
painstaking, clear and methodi
cal man attending strictly to his
duties and permitting no person
al interest to interfere with
school work. His character is
above reproach and he is a man
whose influence is for the right
ideals.
Mr. Sturgill, having made a
special study of school-work,
thoroughly understands the needs
of our public schools and how to
meet them. His work here is of
ajiigh order and he is securing
excellent results. His ability is
beyond question," being able to
fill any position to which he may
aspire and we consider him the
strongest man in school work
.at"
inai nas ever managed our
school.
From our personal knowledge
of Mr. Sturgill we can recom
mend him most heartily and
without reservation.
Considering our public schools
as being outside the pale of poli
tics ana as Mr. Sturgill is un
known to many people of the
County we wish to submit the
foregoing recommendation.
