An exchange truthfully asserts:
"Who is the home merchant" He
is the man who helps pay for the
streets upon which you walk; Tor
the school in which your children
or perhaps you were educated; he
helps to keep UP the church in
which you worship. He is tie
man who builds home which en-
hances the value of your property.
Every subscription paper that is
passed has his name on it; he is the
one who cannot afford to swindle
you. Self-interest, if nothing else,
would prevent this; he bears his
share of the burden of good govern
ment and stays with you in sum
shine and darkness; in days Of pre- s.
perity and adversely. These are
but few Of the reasons why your
patronage should be given to the
home merchant.

Since its admission to statehood,
February ID, 1859, Oregon has had
but nine governors. This is a rec
ord of long service equalled by but
three other states, all of which were
admitted to the Union later than
Oregon. These states are Nebras.
ka, admitted in 1867, Nevada, 1864,
and Colorado, 1876. OF the nine
governors of Oregon, three are dead
and the rest are living in various
parts OF the state. John Whitaker,
who was the executive head of the
state on It's admission % .ue Union,
in 1859, and served until 1862, is
the Oldest living ex-governor. He
was born in Dearborn county, Ind,
May a, 1920, and at present resides
on his farm in Lane county. Add;-
son c. Gibbs and George l.. Woods,
who were the next governors, and
S. +. Chadwick, who succeeded
Lafayette Grover, have passed to
their rest. Mr.. Gibbs was COVER
nor from 1862 until 1866. He was
born in Cattaragus county, N. ",
July 9, 1925. Mr.. Woods, who
succeeded Mr.. Gibbs as chief exc
cutive Of the state, in 1869, was
born in Btone county, Mo-, in 1891
or 1899. Lafayette Grover, who at
present resides in Portland, was
the next incumbent Of the highest
position in the state. lie was in
Quoted into Office in 1870, and re-
elected, but did not serve the full
term, being elected to the United
States senate before its expiration.

obey Speaker Reeds order to keep
the appropriations down and adj
journ early. Those are the two
things the speaker has said must be,
and they will be. Every appropri-
alton bill so far presented has been
cut down 10 the lowest notch, and
there is no reason to believe that
there will be any more liberal ap.
propriations in the bills that are
now in preparation. Greater econ.
omy was never practiced and work
never went faster at the beginning
of a session. No previous Congress
ever held morning and evening
meetings so early in the session,
neither was half the appropriation
bills ever before disposed of by the
middle of February. Congress bids
fair to adjourn by June I, and aH
the effort is being put forth not
alone for the good of the country,
but because it is believed it will
also help Mr.. Reeds chances for

THE CANDIDATES.

G. A. Lands, the nominee for
sheriff, has filled that Office for the
past three years, and is too well
known to need a further introduc-
ton.
B. +. Wilhoit, the nominee for
clerk, is young school teacher on
Drift Creek. Mr.. Wilhoit is very
clever young man.
Ed. Logan, the aspirant for treas.
urer, is young man living about
three miles west Of Toledo. He is
SO unfortunate as to be a cripple,
and that fact probably brought
about his nomination.
The candidate for assessor, 7. w.
Parrish, was a candidate for the
same office two years ago.
Miss Harrington, the nominee
or school superintendent, lives at
Yaquina. She is one of the most
popular and efficient teachers in
the county. Miss Harrington will
undoubtedly make her opponents
know that she is in the race.
G. F. Luckey, the nominee for
commissioner, Is a resident of Little
Elk precinct, and at present wears
the judicial ermine of the justice of
peace.
u. M. Derrick was candidate
for surveyor on the populist ticket
two years ago, and is going TO try
it again.
When they got down to coroner
the populists caught OF to the re-
publican trick of two years ago and
nominated a mau fresh from some
other country. DR.. Parent, the
is a resident physician of
Toledo, coming here about five
months ago from the state of Wash
iDgton.

TRIM THE SHADE. TREES.

ED, JoURNAL:-Hepe you will call
special attention TO the trimming of
shade trees. Those large trees with
dropping branches should be trimmed
up good distance from the ground so
as to show the line of residences be-
hind them, as one looks along the
street.
1t would add so much to the appear
ance il we could present both the shade
trees and the buildings to the visitor
or sojourner. AS it now is only the
trees are visible to one looking along a
street and strangers criticize this
seeming disregard of the esthetic, as
they do also our old yard fences, sug-
gestive of the time when our streets
were cow pastures.
Let US urge the "ringing in of the
new and ringing out of the DID," In
other words, let the old fences ''be pull
verized." CITIZEN.
