The first editor of the paper over this nomination, at least. was J. A. Stine, who moved the plant in and set it up, and the writer has often heard Nels .Magnuson remark about bringing it here from the rail road and helping to get things ready for putting out the first issue. After running the paper for a short time, Stine transferred his interests to John V. Redington, and after five years of a romantic and precarious existence under his direction, it was sold to Rev. Henry Rasmtis, but be- fore the end of a year Rasmus sold out to Otis Patterson. From him the editorship passed to Corleis Mer- ritt, then back to Redington again, the latter disposing of the paper to Warnock and Michell ; Warnock later bought the interests of Michell and ran the paper for several years, when he sold it to Vawter Crawford. This was in December, 1910. The Gaz ette had some competition at various times during its early career. The first of these, we believe, was the Times, which for a short season was maintained and edited by Homer H. r i -..

The future holds out better things for the peo ple of thi1; town and county, nad as these arrive we shall take on our share. per cent of the voters in the proposed new counr' must vote for the mea sure and at least 35 per cent of the voters in the old portions of the county or counties affected. The legislature, of course, has the priv ilege of repealing or amending this law, so the next legislature might see fit to repeal the law and create any new county or counties that it saw fit. At any rate, it will require a lot of work to create the necessary sen timent to carve out a new county from Morrow and Umatilla, and we are quite sure this sentiment does not exist at present. We believe, also, that ultimeately division of this sort will be made, but there are more important matters that should engage the attention of the residents of both Morrow and Umatilla counties, and which the people of the irrigated districts are vitally interested in. This is pretty ell expressed in the following con tribution to the Boardman Mirror, appearing in the last issue, and if we were to guess its authorship would say that Sam Boardman is the guilty party, and here is his pre sentation of the case: A news item tells of a division of Umatilla and Morrow counties to make a new county comprizing the territory from Echo to Boardman This is the second proposal that we have received in the past two months, Arlington submitted a similar sug gestion, cleaving the front stoop from the back porch of Gilliam, county, Morrow county likewise. What is there about us that produces the appearance of "hicks ? Just why do these off-side county mavericks submit to us plans of a separate greatness? When the proper time comes, the bell cow will call in these two long horns and a county will be born radiating from Boardman, which in time will become a state. We view these present proposals with suspicion. We suspect a "lemon sour" in the form of a delinquent tax list which runs in the eighties. Just why should we mingle our purity with this European skin sealer. The farming brother to the west now has its dirk aimed at our heart in deliberately pilfering the 0. W. high way away from Willow creek to Ar lington. And they would call us county brothers. If it ever comes to pass, we plan to wear shirts that spike to the body. These outbursts for new counties come from the smallest of men. You, off. In the above you have the ans wer why Oregon is the "runt"of the west. In your childish way, you in dividually try to lick the pink from your candy stick. You would create a new county by adding new taxes to your tax welted body. In your "deep" anger you fail to see that it Your deep chested development may have an egotism of a self constructed powerdam but the haze from your round house blocks the view at your city limits. Umatilla, let Pendleton nurse the county grief. Pendleton, quit trying to whittle the frozen par snip of a cut-off. Arlington, let the O. W. follow natures trail of less resistance instead of trying to pull it over mountains for the sake of pelf. Until you do these things, Ore gon will remain the hermitage of a dolt ridden race.

Unless your house is protected by a smooth, elastic film of durable paint, decay will set in and rapidly depreciate it. Decay is expulsive and wasteful. Price lumber alone, to get an idea of what it will cost to repair or re build. Paint saves this cost. The best paint is the most econom ical in the long run. It spreads easily saves labor cost. It covers a larger area ?er gallon than "cheap" paint. But most important, the best paint serves five or more years longer than "cheap" paint. We have been making the best paints for 73 years. They are scien tific in formula and preparation. They meet the weather conditions in the West. They contain the finest materials PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure lin seed oil, pure line and pure colors combined scientifically in exact pro portions. They are the best paints we know.

Periodically religious and racial prejudices are bitterly injected into a political campaign; in fact, they are never entirely absent, but every so often they become acute.

This is the word he gives this paper, also. We presume that the other candidates, E. M. Hulden and J. P. Condor, are also against county div ision, though no public statement has been received from them. There would seem to be little sen timent in favor of carving up the two old counties at this time among those to be an intelligent and discriminat ing voter in Ways and Means com mittee. Eberhard's district embraces three counties, Union, Umatilla and Morrow. The Umatilla county peo ple are agressive politically and have a candidate of their own this year, who will give Eberhard a hard run From the viewpoint of the state at laree. however, the defeat or tber- hard would prove a distinct loss, as his abilities have counted for a good deal in the senate.

Think of it without re gard to distance, instantaneously reproducing every tone of the human voice. The quality of its service, m great measure, depends upon careful use. As with your watch, automobile or piano the more care, better results. Among the "out of order" reports received by the company, many result from the carelessness of the subscriber. A telephone may fall from desk or stand, breaking the mouthpiece or throw ing the apparatus out of adjustment. The cord may become twisted; meaning a "noisy" line. A damp cloth laid on the cord or the moisture from an open window may cause the "short cir cuit" and an entire interruption of service. All of these things are avoidable with the exercise of slight care. In protecting the tele phone equipment you are protecting your own service.
