In the assignment OF e. l.. Cow
ell of this place, the assignee, Lee
Wade was removed this week and
a new assignee was elected by the
creditors. The principal creditor
represented in the change of assign
ees was H. f. Fischer. Of Corvallis,
who has the heaviest claim filed,
it being about $500. There were
several other smaller creditors re-
presented. The reason for Mr..
Wade's removal was not made
known. as there were no charges
filed against him, except that the
assignee was not satisfactory, and
that a majority Of the creditors de-
sired a new one elected. There
was considerable difficulty in agree
ing upon a suitable person to take
Mr.. Wade'S place. 1t waS offered
to {. B. Crosno, but he refused it.
An attempt was made to elect J.
o. Stearns, and while Mr.. Stearns
was willing to take it bu: some
hitch arose and he was not elected.
The creditors represented finally
agreed Upon Mr.. B. +. Swope, the
attorney, for the place and lie was
duly elected. He will proceed at
once to invoice the stock and file
his bond. We understand that it
is intended to sell the stock in a
lump, and not retail it out.

The Union county ticket is gain
ing in strength from day to day as
the people pause and soberly con-
slider the men and the candidates on
each ticket and the issues of the
campaign. The Union ticket
stands for an economical admins
tration Of county affairs, the end
ing of the useless and expensive
litigation TO which the county has
been subjected for years, and the
establishing of q reasonable salary
for the county officers. By reas-
enable salary We mean one that
will be fair alike to the taxpayers
as well as the oficeholders. The
men nominatnd on this tickec the
Union ticket are all taxpayers and
are interested in the welfare and
development of the county. They
are deeply interested in the matter
of low taxes, FOR every one of them
feels the grind of the unreasonable
heavy taxes hal are now such a
G:ievous burden to the taxpayere OF
the county, and a decrease of this
heavy rate will be a relief to them
as an increase will be a burden.
These matters will receive sober
and serious consideration of the
people of the county before the day
of election rolls around. and the
Union ticket confidently awaits the
results of these reflections On the
pat of the people.

Tuesday morning for Dairy, Or,
where MI Stakely has gone. A
large number of friends came to the
depot to bid them farewell. Tole-

Some ofthe 6. o. p. papers pro-
fess to feel very sorry for a free sill
yer republican, because, as
they claim, he is a political or

to be cursed with a disipated and
unprincipled parent.
DR.. F. M. Carter of Elk City was
in the city, Wednesday. He had
just returned from the Astoria con.

The doctor is a republican of the

that he should 60 back on the f.
nancial theories of that illustrious
statesman.
