sick with this disease: f.r some trn
days and had about recovered, wl en

3. At a point 4 Vi miles below the
head of power and water canal, I
would erect a water and.-steam auxil
liary power plant, using all waier

operates It and to operate the canal
line forever; ia either case I am to
maintain both .in good working or
der and bear all expense of doing so
until, whenever the conduit Hue is
operated by the City my obligations
oi maintaining are to end.
R. As a consideration for the
building of the above provided for
conduit and the procurement of a
larger and purer water supply, . the
City of Heppner is to pay mo
$50,000 In the following payraon'.a.
Already paid In 1892 $15,000

For the expondlturo of $50,000,
the City is to own the entire system

this will be fn effect for the coming

HEW COUNTY OFFICERS IN. .
W. T. Campbell, E. M. 3hutt and
G. A. Bleakmau began serving their
sentences at the court houses this i
we 1, Mr. Campbell as county judge,
Mr.-Shutt as sheriff and Mr. Bleak-
man as commissioner, xsone 01
these gentlemen appear to be out of
place at all and all are entering into
the -work of their various offices like
vetxrans. Mr. Bleakman Is really'
the-only right new man of the bunch
as both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Shutt
have served time at the court house
before. The sheriff's office was
occwpled by Mr. Shsuttt for a period
of eight years and! he will find but
littia that he was; not thoroughly
familiar with. He nas appointed W.
C. Gason as his deputy and Mr. Cason
win. have charge- of the field work
and Mr. Shutt will confine himself
more closely to the office end. Judge
Camnbeil was county commissioner
for a time some years ago and he is
coine to take te the work ot his
office in a very natural way; In fact
ha seems to be able to fill the judge s
chair with that s6rt of dignity one
would expect and we bespeak for
him a very successful term. Mr.
Bleakmaa will anly be at the court
house for short tnervals each month
during bis term but he is taking
hold of the work in a manner that
Uhows he will make good.
Mr Shmt will rive to the sheriff's
loffice his closest attention, and it can
be exneeted that he will look closely
to law enforcement along every line
that falls to his duty. His former
incumbency ot the office Is a guar
antee that he will make good.
In the retfrement of Judge Pat
terson we can Join with his many
friends in stating that he was one ot
the very best county judge s Morrow
county ever had. He took offi.ee
under rather Inauspicious circum
stances, the county at that time being
about fifty thousand dollars in debt.
He soon set about to change this con
ditlon and succeeded admirably. He
leaves the office with the county out
lot debt, as it has been for several
i years past, and with a record of
l nluch good accomplished. It is a
matter of regret that of late years
.Mr. Patterson has beeu physically
unable to do his work to his full
satisfaction, but regnrdless he gave
tii&odore. Rpcsavelt
the test there was In him and retires
