The teaaon for the ofllcc seeker and candidate has arrived. Already tills subject Is taking prominence in all gatherings on the streets and In the stores and odlces, and is usually the main topic of con versation wherever two or more men gl.t together, and Is also arousing con- flik'riible interest among tho women. From present Indications there wUl bo no cud of candidates for all of the county offices from which the voters can make selection. No petitions have been filed yet for the primary election, to be held May 19th, for the reison that not enough voters -have registered to enable the candidates to publican nomination. Other repub licans mentioned as possible candi dates for this nomination are EL. i Elliott. C. M. Onelll and W. S. Wiley. j.U hjsJ'con reported that Mr. Onelll J the republican nomination. So far no , democrat has been mentioned for this oosltlon. I It looks as If no one cares to at I tempt to wrest the county clerkship 'from C. R. De Lap, who will be a can (dldatc for rcnomlnatton. A number 'have stated that thoy would try for j10 repubiicnn nomination in case Mr. rjo Lap decided not to run. It is probnblo that Mr. Do Lap will have opposition on tho democratic ticket at the November election, although no names havo been mentioned with any degree of cortalnty. George Chastaln is the only man mentioned so far for the office of clerk The most popular offico In the en tlro county seems to be that of sheriff, if the number of candidates seeking the office can be considered as proof of popularity. Some oven say that tho reason there are so few aspirants for some of the other county offices Is because all tho available candidates have announced their Intention of running for sheriff. It is Impossible to record all the names of those men- The number has been placed all tho way from ten to twenty. Sheriff C. C. Low has un vounced that he will seek renomlna- on 0M the republican ticket. Other republicans who have privately an- nounced their candidacy for this office are: R. R. Brewbaker, E. W. Gowen, John Collman, O. B. Dews, O. M. Ratnsby and Win. Hall. Against this vast army of republicans one lone democrat name has been mentioned, that of George L. Humphrey, It la stated that Captain J. P. Lee will again Beek the democratic noml nation and election as assessor? He will probably be opposed on the re publican ticket by C, A, Hay den, who served aa deputy in the assessors' of fice up until last spring, George A, Haydon will probably seek re-election aa county treasurer.

While at the present time it looks as if the office of county school super intendent will go begging for the want of a candidate, it Is probable that an ample supply will bejn the field berore tbe primaries, county Superintendent Fred Peterson, who has so ably fllltd tho office for the past term, has positively announced that ho would not be a candidate, giving as his reason that the expenses of prop erly conducting the office were too great for the compensation received. The salary is $1,200 a year, and an additional $200 is allowed for travel ing expenses. In order to visit the schools and keep In proper touch with the work being done throughout the county, It is necessary for the super- Intendent to own his own automobile, and it is stated that his investment1 arid repairs, expenses, etc., leaves the occupant of the office in poorer finan cial condition at the end of his term J than when he took office.

Oregon looks to tho building of the Central Oregon railroad as a powerful aid to tntr development. Robert E.

Dyking is the most feasible manner or reclaiming the 27,600 acres Of marsh land included in the Lower Klamath drainage district, according to the roport of Don J. Zumwalt, the pioject englnter. Thi3 report is made fallowing extensive Held work. Zumwalt suggests tbe construction of dykes on cither side of the Klam nth Straits, beginning at the railroad embankment. These would follow the east and we3t boundaries of the straits and the east and west boun daries of Lower Klamath Lake south to the state line. At the state line, the eastern dyke would extend east " toward higher land, and the western ' dyke would be run in a westerly di rection at the state line. The dykes would have a total length of 32.4 miles. Their construc tion would Involve a cost of approx imately f 97,970. This would reclaim about 27,500 acres. A feature of the plan proposed Is that the marsh land would be drained without the necessity of shutting" off" tbe water coming through Klamau Straits, which could be accomplished at the railroad crossing. The govern-. ment has never given the land owners any satisfaction regarding this, but the dykes would be sufficient to keep lake water from the marshes, no mat ter what the stage of water In Lower Klamath. The plan Is to make three units, the east side to comprise one unit, and the lands on the west side to be di vided Into two units. Indian Office to Stay . WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 21.
