S. 3. ADAMS RESIGNS.
The Defeated Candidate for Mayor
Won't Have School D1rectorship.

The sensation of today in educational
/ circles is the resignation of Mr.. s. B.
Adams as school director, position
past six years, and reporter of THE
CHRONICLE met Mr.. Adams this morn
ing to ascertain his reasons.
The gentleman was found to be very
much displeased over the result of the
city election, which. decided against him
for mayor of the city, which he regards
as personal affront. In casting about
for the causes of his defeat, it is evident
he lays a great share of it to Mr.. E. B.
Dutur, Mr.. Menefee's law partner, and
in his letter of resignation, ironically
recommends him as his successor in
Office. Mr.. Adams CLAIMS to have
turned forty votes to Dufur in Sherman
county, without which aid Dufur would
have been defeated.
But" said the reporter, ''that was
surely not a good reason for resigning
your Office as school director" and Mr..
Adams replied:
"Well. the people don't want economy
anyhow. My record is based on that
When 1 went in as school director six
years ago, French & Co. had note of
$4,000 against the district, upon which
even the interest was not paid. re-
deemed both principal and interest, and
then took hold of the academy and put
that on it's feet. There is nothing in it
for me; am money out. Why, there's
a finger (showing digit that looks as
though it had once been mashed) that
costm $65 on account of my personal
activity in saving the school district
money"
'How was that done?"
I'm moving school house up here on
the hill. was experimenting the job,
and whi'e helping to lift the corner of it,
the blamed thing settled on my hand
The doctor charged me $65 for fixing
it up"
The following is Mr.. Adams letter of
resignation:
To the honorable board of directors of
School District No. zs, WascoS county,
/ Oregon.
I herewith present to YOU my resigpa-
ton as director of said district, to take
effect from and after this date. Yours
truly, >. B. ADAMS.
The Dalles, Or, June IL, 1885,
P. S.-I will cheerfully recommend
Hon. E. B. Dufur as suitable man to
fill the vacancy. S. B. A.
THE CHRONICLE regrets the fact that
Mr.. Adams finds it necessary to resign.
He has made good official, statement
in which the public will unanimously
agree. We believe, also, that he acted
with some haste, while suffering the
pangs of defeat. and that if he had post
poned his action for a week he would
not have resigned. In this frame of
mind he has not fair conception of the
real situation. While Adams has a good
record for economy it does not follow
that he has monopoly of that virtue.
Mr.. Menefee has made quite as good a
record in e'same line, and an encono-
nizer was not demanded. The people
have chosen Mr.. Menefee for one term,
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-06-17
and it is but natural they desire to en-
dorse his good record by re-electing him
for mayor.
NrcCoy's troubles AccumuIate.

Information is received from Portland
that Mrs. Mccoy is making a serious
effort to secure the money due the labor
ers, and that she employed yesterday
afternoon in a search for funds in COM
pany with Mr.. Paulsen. Sheriff Driver
is now in Portland on the errand of en-
forcing payment of the $500 note, the
proceeds of which viii go to the
men. Whatever Mr.. McCoy's past ac-
tions have been, the situation at present
is that heroic effort is being made by
himself and friends to secure money to
pay his workmen.
But McCoy's financial troubles are not
ended with the payment of the men.
Two actions were begun before circuit
court by filing notices at the clerks
Office yesterday on the part of the Wasco
warehouse by Huntington & Wilson, at
torneys for plaintiff. One is styled
Wasco Warehouse VS.. G. H. Mccoy for
the recovery of $292.08, interest and
costs of action, sum alleged to be due
for goods, wares and merchandise, pro-
cured between the 18th and 2sth of May
1896. The other suit is by Wasco Ware
house vs.. Clinton & Mccoy for $500,
which is for the sum due on bill of ex-
change given to the Wasco Warehouse
company by F. Erickson, and accepted
by Clinton & Mccoy.
