Nahouse. The county court is the body that sets the policy for the county. It is to a large degree their responsibility whether the county goes ahead sanely or not. The present county court was elected at a time when economy was the paramount issue and they were pledged to save as much money as humanely possible. They have done so. The county bond issue has been reduced each year until it is no longer the serious burden it was six years ago. Every ex penditure has been carefully watched. It is the belief of this newspaper that the next court will be elected on a platform of repair of the county roads, greater activity in trying for improvements to the Sherman highway, all, of course, with as much economy as is possi ble. Members of the present county court are aware of this sentiment, it is believed. About $500,000 are invested in the market road system of this county and repair is called for to keep the roads from wearing comp etely out. More time and work on the part of court members will be required when road work starts again and more time will be spent to contact state commissions regarding state and federal funds for road building. It is assumed that while the people of the county favor road repair they will wish to have it done with a maximum of efficiency^md as cheaply as possible. Choosing men with qualifications suitable for this work is no small job and prospective candidates for court positions are naturally hesitant about taking on the responsibility. FOR SHERIFF:; I hereby announce my candidacy for nomination for the office of Sheriff of Sherman county, subject to the action of the voters of thi Democratic party at the Primary election to be held on the 15th day of May, 1936. Charles C. Wilson. FOR ASSESSOR: To the Repubican voters of Sherman County: I have been asked by a number of Republican voters to be a can- didate for the office of County Assessor and after due considera- tion have decided to do so. I have been a resident taxpayer of the County for 27 years and if nomi nated and elected promise econ omy with efficiency during my term of office. Carl P. Ada m3. FOR ASSESSOR: • I hereby announce my candidacy to suceed myself as Assessor of Sherman County, subject to the will of the Republican voter. Margaret W. Peetz.

David Reid. spring. That statement may not elicit any interest among the old timers who can easily remember the days when travellers expected to be stuck if they ventured out before the first of April, but for the younger merhbers of the coun ty society it is a strange phenomenon. The good old productive days when one could “mire a saddle blanket” up to the middle of March and when saddle horses were mired down every day and travel with wagon or buggy was almost iihpossible until the spring chinnook had blown for a week are historical. They raised wheat in those days, though and did it with half the work now expended. Even volunteer wheat was common to the first settlers and there is profit in volunteer wheat if it makes a crop. To speak in the modern parlance, it’s all gravy. This spring doesn’t compare with the good wet old days but it comes nearer to it than any year within very recent times. For seven or eight years it has been imposs ible to get stuck because the soil remained comparatively dry the year around. While the condition was fine for travelling the wheat plants noticed the lack of something and acted accordingly. So, there is a certain amount of satisfaction in getting stuck in the middle of the road. It is listed, hereabouts, among the pleasurable things — after we get out. FOR CLERK: To the Republican voters of Sherman County: I, Joseph A. Mee, announce my self as a Republican candidate for the office of county clerk. I am a native son, a taxpayer and have been concerned with county and state affairs for the past six years. I will appreciate your support at the primary election. Joseph A. Mee. FOR CLERK. To the Republican voters of Sherman County. I wish to announce myself as » candidate for the office of County Clerk at the primary election May 15th. J. T. Johnson FOR CLERK Mr. G. C. Vintin has announced that he will not run for the office of Clerk; therefore I announce my self as a candidate to said office subject to the will of the Repub lican voters. I believe that with my six years experience as Deputy I will be able OPPORTUNITY to handle the work In the office The American Guide project is a relief project that will with only part time help and will thereby save the taxpayers at print a book about historical matters in each state. It is least eight hundred dollars a year. estimated that at least 60,000 will be used for Oregon. Viola M. Hansen. This is an opportunity for some of our young historians to tell about the county for public consumption. Suggested titles for the articles include distinctive industries. Now if there is such a thing as distinctive agriculture it is exem plified in Sherman county where wheat is grown on a scale found in but few other places in the world. To adequately explain and extoll the wheat production of this county would be a service to the county and the state. Wheat is of more importance in the state than is usually recognized and its production should be told about. Eastern admirals seem to be hard to impress with the needs of the Pacific northwest in defense. With men like Hugh Johnson making the Columbia run into Puget Sound perhaps some of them never heard of the Columbia before and piink it is a little fishing stream. The theory that Communistic states will not fight was given a shock this week when Stalin said Russia might fight Japan. It is probably a safe assumption that com munists have the ordinary human reactions to a slap in the Question: If March comes in like a lamb, does it make a liar out of the groung hog?
