During this month candidates for county office will of Sheriff and Tax Collector for

are the requirements for them.
Lester H. 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.

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

I will appreciate your support at

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.
