and his prisoner started for Portland
Immediately, and by pushing along
vigorously reached Scottsburg about
8 o'clock Tuesday morning
While warming by the fire after
the long journey through the
drenching rain, Ladd espied a
bucket OF water on a shelf near the
door. and remarking that he was
very thirsty, he went for that pail.
While in the act OF drinking, some
one from the outside opened the
door and came into the room, when,
quick as a flash, Ladd sprang
through the door out into the pitchy
night, and although the officer
FASTENED after him, he made good
his escape. Impenatrable darkness
and the terrible storm prevailing at
the time, were opportunities which
Bob Ladd ayailed himself of to
good purpose. A reward Of $500
is offered for his arrest. When
Bob escaped he had nothing on his
head, and was very thinly clad for
inclenent weather. He stands a
good chance to perish from cold
and hunger if not soon caught.
Since the above was set up, Mr..
Arnold informs us that Ladd pass
ed down toward Portland on We'd
nesday S train.

HALF FEES.

The Independent candidates for
both Sheriff and Clerk, pledged
themselves to retain but halt the
fees Of their Offices, and to pay into
the county treasury the other half
Thus from $4,000 to $4,000, fees
allowed by law to the Sheriff and
Clerk, will be paid into the county
treasury annually, largely helping
to tighten the burdens OF the people,
should the nominees Of the Inde-
pendent ticket be successful. Re-
member that, fellow citizens, when
you cast your ballot next June
The Independent ticket is pledged
to the strictest economy in~hsndling
the county finances. Extravaganza
and wastetulness of county funds
will be stopped at once the county
will at once be released from debt,
and the honest tiller of the soil, or
the hard working mechanic, will
not be compelled to pay one-third

More About stickeen.

Statements made by intelligent
gentlemen who have recently re-
turned from Stickeen gold mines
fully corroborate all the reports as
to the extent and richness Of the
diggings. The weather at last ac-
counts was warm and pleasant, and
the grass was two or three inches
high at Bucks Bar. Men are max
ing from SIS to $25 per day, and
can but work their claims a few
hours at a time. Claims on Dease
Creek are 100 feet in length and
the width of the creek; land claims
are 100 feet square. 1t costs So SO
for recording claim, and $5 for a
miners license. From these latter
accounts it would seem that the
half has not been told regarding the
richness Of the country; one rea-
son, probably, being that the
country is yet to be prospected and
thoroughly tested. If it be true
that men are making from $50 to
5000 per day, by Ma'c',,g ont tie
dirt, what can not they realize from
the diggings when the frost is driven
from the ground by the warm suns
Of Summer? Men are catching tie
gold fever who were never excited
by the most fabulous tales of gold
heretofore, and The excitement and
rush is becoming greater day by
day.

Look at Their Record.

The candidates on the Linn
County Independent Ticket have
the advantage Of their Democratic
opponents in beiug generally better
qualified for the positions to which
they aspire, and their record tor So
briefly, business capacity and
honesty is much better. They 60
before the people asking for office
on their merits. They will not be
called to account for any derelictions
socially, nor will any Of them be
asked to explain the matter OF the
deficiency of three thousand dollars
in the school fund while in their
hands, as most certainly will one
ofthe Democratic candidates. This
matter of handling the funds of q
county as an officer, in such manner
that the people lose three thousand
dollars, either through carelessness,
want Of capacity, or downright
corruption, will be looked after very
sharply, by the People. They want
no such men as officers, nor can
they trust a party that endorses
such acts by placing such men in
nomination. One such offender on
a ticket is sufficient to faint the
whole; but when there is more than
one on the ticket whose reputation
is Spotted" it is enough to damn
the whole concern.

who are the Right Men for Omce .

The man who is not willing to
aid and encourage every legitimate
scheme for building up his county
and State, is not fitted, nor was he
calculated by Providence (Rhode
Island), or anyotl.er power, to fill
any Office in the gift of the people,
either of honor or profit. And as
the newspaper is the great lever in
American politics, disseminating
useful information broadcast over
the land, doing more than all else
combined in building up and max
ing communities prosperous, the
man who withholds his patronage
from his county paper is not worthy
and should not receive the smallest
crumb from the public table, II he
is too stingy to take ana pay for
his county paper, he is too mean to
serve the people honestly and well
if he does not acknowledge and
cannot see the great benefits CON-
munity derives from we'll con-
Quoted newspaper, he hasn't
sufficient mental calibre, brains, to
fill any office respectfully and in the
interests of the community in which
be resides. The man who does not
take, pay for and read his county
paper, is not in sympathy with his
neighbors. has no idea Of their
wants and wishes, is necessarily
selfish, narrow-minded and bigoted,
and is therefore untitled to be en-
trusted with the business of the
people. The people want men in
office Of liberal views-large
hearted and large Drained men
who read and keep themselves
posted in current events; and by
thus thoroughly understanding the
great questions Of the day, are in
full sympathy with the people, and
can bring a thorough knowledge
and sound Judgment to bear when
acting as their servants. The man
who can't afford to take his county
paper, must not ask this community
to support him for office-this COM
munity. don't want that kind Of
hombre. Excuse us, also, if you
please.

Linn County independent Platoon.

The following platform of prin.
ciplos was adopted by Linn County
Independent Convention at its ses-
sion in this On Saturday last:
Resolred, That in our opinion
the issues which have heretofore di-
vided the Democratic and Republi-
can pariiaS, have hecn tully and
entirely settled, aud at this time
there exists no good reasons for
keeping up the old political parties.
That in our opinion there is no cause
why the lahoring and producing
classes should be arrayed against
each other, bnt that the time has
come when they should cease to be
lshmalites, and tley should unite
for the common good Of all. That
politicians and demagogues strive to
keep up animosity between such
classes solely Tor the purpose Of fos-
tering themselves. That under the
party drill and party lash, many
men Of known dishonesty and in
competency, ale nominated and
elected to positions of trust. That
to avoid these errors, we are deter
mined to select no man for position
who seeks for a nomination at our
handS-that the true rule is, the
office should seek the man, and not
the man the office the only ques-
ton to be asked in the selection OF
a candidate Is he honest? Is he
capable ?
Resolred, That the platform
adopted by the Independent State
Convention meets our hearty ap-
proval, and that in our opinion it
contains a full avowal OF the aims,
objects aid principles Of, the hide
pendent voters Of Oregon.
Resolved, That the tees now al
lowed by law to the Sheriff and
Clerk ought to be reduced halt,
and the nominees Of this Convention
for Sheriff and Clerk be required to
pledge themselves to perform the
duties OF said offices, if elected, for
one-half the fees now allowed by
law for such services.
Resolred, That we disapprove of
any further Legislative appropria-
tions Of public money to be used on
the State Capitol building at Salem
for the present.
Resotce0, That we demand the
repeal Of the law creating an Assist
ant State Treasurer also, the law
creating a School Book monopoly,
ard that portion OF the game law
referring to geese, ducks and grouse.
Resotced, That we favor law
creating one Justice Of the Peace for
each precinct, an Assessor Of said
precinct, and the repeal OF the law
creating a County Assessor.
ReSoiced, That the attempt to
wiring over sixty thousand dollars
from the Farmers and Taxpayers,
by additional taxation, through the
instrnmentality ofthe so.cal|ed State
Board Of Equalization, meets with
our hearty condemnation.
Resolred, That we hold our can.
didates, if elected, pledged to carry
out the above resolutions.

Independent Ticket.

ILTCW tiOIC ih WHY ahNhS ~ S''~
REGISTER will be found a con-
densed report of the proceedings of
the Linn County Independent Con-
yention, held at Graugers' Hall, in
this city, last Saturday. The Con-
vention was largely composed Of
the farmers and working men of
the county, and worked much more
harmoniously than we, at least, ex-
pected. The ticket selected by the
convention will, we think, after
careful scrutiny, and fair compari-
son with the Democratic ticket
placed in nomination one week be-
fore, meet with the general approval
of those who are anxious that the
books shall be overhauled and the.
accounts of the people honestly
footed up in Linn county. No one
is foolish enough for a moment to
imagine that, so long as the ring
that at present controls county
affairs retains power, any change
for the better will be made. 1t is
feared, and with reason, too, that
should the old ring that has so long
held control of this county, be
given a new lease of power at the
June election, 1t will become
more reckless than ever, and mis-
management and extravaganza
will grow apace, and the burdens
Of the people be largely increased.
All know that values have been
increasing year by year, yet the tax
levy has not only not been de-
creased, but has actually been in.
creased, until the owher of real
estate is now paying nearly double
the tax that he did few years ago.
All know that while the tax rate
has increased from year to year, the
county debt has not been decreased,
but is probably being added to from
year to year. The average tax
payer is restive under this state OF
affairs; and believing, from past
experience, that no Improvement is
to result by the election Of the
ticket put forth by the ring on the
25th of April last, anxiously looked
to the ticket put forth by the 1nde-
pendent Taxpayers Convention as
the only means at hand to correct
an evil which was growing too
heavy to be borne. And the people
have otbeen disappointed. While
we are free to acknowledge that in
one or two instances men of better
knora ability might possibly have
been placed in nomination, ymen
who would have given more general
satisfaction because Of their more
extensive acquaintance throughout
the county, yet even these excep-
tions, if any exceptions be taken,
are fully the equals, are just as
competent to fill the positions for
which they are nominated, as those
placed in nomination for the same
positions on the Democratic ticket.
So far as we are acquainted with
the nominees on the Independent
ticket, they are honest, competent,
earnest and worthy men, possessing
the confidence Of their neigh6ors.
The majority are directly interested
in agriculture hoiry-banded far
mers, ifyou choose, and not ashamed
Of their occupation Of positions in
life. They have been selected from
the different portions Of the county
because Of their known probity,
their fais regulations, their sobriety
