The Eugene Guard has been
figuring again. It says: Cdr.
DAILY alone lost not less than
$50, 900 worth of property, with
out any insurance. CDR. Daily
is the union candidate for con-
gresham in this district. Ed.
Guard. } Now, DR.. DAILY gave in
his property to the Lakeview as
SCISSOR at only 81, and that
official only raised the assessment
to 81, 500. Does the Guard wish
to iusinuate that DR.. DAILY tried
to defraud his own city in the
matter of taxes?

A Genuine Popn1ist.

Those who heard the address
of ex-Congressman Howard, the
brilliant populist orator, at the
court house last Tuesday evening,
pronounce it the ab1est exposi-
ton of the principles of populisnl
ever heard in this city, and Mr..
Howard the peer of any orator
they have heard in years. TO
say the least his address is ex-
haustive and absorbing, and he
has remarkable forensic ability.
He does not espouse republican
ism, nor does he advocate IN any
measure, whatever, fusion with
the republican party. He op-
poses fusion with the democratic
party, and holds that there is not
a single basis for fusion between
the democrats and populists.
Mr.. Howard takes up each OF
the issues made by the democrats
in the present campaign and
holds that it is ini1naterial to the
populists whether democrats or
republicans win, the result being
no nearer accomplishment of
true populisn in the triumph of
one than of the other. "You
democrats out here censure us
because we oppose FUSION" said
he, "and say we are paid by
the republicans and Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Osborne and myself are the
only ones here in the interests of
straight populism. Cyclone
Davis, Jim Weaver and two
other prominent fusionists are in
the state in the interests of demo-
Gratis. According to the same
logic there must be at least two
mark Hsnnas in the democratic
party as four of their speakers
are supported here. " His ar
raignment of democracy was
scathing. He said: ''Demoe-
racy in the West is a vague
reaching-out Tor something in
the nature of reform; democ-
racy in the East is an organized
appetite for office, and democ-
racy in the South is thing op-
posed to everything, something
that never learns and never for!
gets; it is bourbonism."
In 1892 and 1894, before
fusion began, the populists had
in Nebraska and Colo
RADIO and made an excellent
showing in Oregon and Califor-
mia. Since then Nebraska has
passed into the republican col
u1nn, Colorado is a doubtful
state, and the populist vote in
Oregon and California has been
sadly lowered. The populist|
Jonah is in the bowels of the
democratic whale, but the
straight populist section will
make such commotion in this
campaign that his whaleship will
aisgorge.

Miles Starr, the republican
nominee for treasurer of Benton
county, was born in Diamond
Springs, Calf, and at an early
age his parents : came to this
state. His boyhood days were
passed at different points through
out the Willamette valley.
When he had arrived at early
manhood he settled in this coun-
ty, and has resided here for the
past "a years. The greater part
of his life has been devoted to
general farming and the dairy
business, and up to last summer
he was ever active in this line.
But he was the victim of a sad
accident during haying season
and received a sbad fall which
has left him cripple and rem
dered him unable to follow his
life's work. He is honest, thor
oughly qualified for the Office for
which he is nominated, and in
view of his past there is no room
for doubt as to his energy when
there is anything to be done.
Let all republicans cast a straight
vote for the man they have norni-
mated, for he is worthy in every
sense of their support.

There is our old friend, J. B.

If the expected corpse had not

life, He is peculiarly and we'll

4 MATTER OF COMPARISON.

The strongest thing urged
and in fact the only thing urged
in Mr.. Walters behalf for re-
election is that he has been an
obliging and economical officer.
When either quality is mentioned
a comparison is implied. Com
pared with some other standard
Mr.. Walters is obliging and eco
nomical. Compare then Mr..
Waters and Ge1lat1y. Ali who
have ever had business dealings
with either man will say frankly
that each is equally anxious to
accommodate and oblige. On
this point there is no choice be-
tween them.
Let us consider the other ques-
ton, however. The opportunity
is excellent. Mr.. Waters has
been recorder of Benton county,
and Mr.. Gellatly has held the
same position. Mr.. Waters was
the first recorder elected to this
office after it was established.
After entering upon his duties as
recorder he established the prece-
dent of having a deputy for that
officer at $40 per month, to be
paid by the county. In the court
records for the May term, 1895,
we find these words: cat this
time Virgil E. Waters, county
recorder Of Benton county, Ore
gon, reported to the court that he
had appointed w. A. Buchanan
as his regular deputy; and that a
deputy was necessary to carry on
the said Office properly and per-
form the duties thereof; and that
the said w. A. Buchanan had
agreed to perform the duties of
deputy recorder for the sum Of
twenty dollars a month"; - The
court ordered that there be al
lowed for deputy hire for the said
county recorder the sum of twen-
ty dollars per month in addition
to the salary fixed by law for the
said recorder. This order was
made at the regular July term ot
the court for 1894, but ''through
inadvertance was not entered in
the journal of the court, and on
motion of the said recorder it is
entered now for then and it is tc
have the force of a nunc pro tunc
order" Here was Mr.. Waters
idea of economy, a deputy at
$40 per month at the expense oi
the taxpayer.
During Mr.. Gellatly's term as
recorder the county has not been
to one cent of expense for deputy
hire for him. He has had dep
uty, it is true, but he has paid
for that deputy OUT OF HIS
OWN POCKET. Here is a
saving of at least $24o year to
the taxpayers. Mr.. Gellatly re-
ceives the same salary that Mr..
Waters did; as much, if not
more work has been done during
Mr.. Ge11atly's term, and has been
done at least as we'll. We do not
hesitate to say that Mr.. Gellatly
will demonstrate to the people OF
Benton county that he will be as
courteous and economical in the
clerks office as he has been in
the recorders Office.

WAS 1T GRATIS?

For the past month the Times
has made every effort to make po-
litical capital out of the fact that
Clerk Walters has employed no
extra deputy to assist in the regis
tration of voters. 1t has told in
its own vivid style, how Mr.. Wat
tiers and his deputy, have worked
far into the night to accomplish
this work, and has given out the
impression, by insinuation and
direct assertion, that Mr.. Wat
tiers has been doing this work
personally in order to save the
taxpayers of Benton county the
expense of having a deputy per-
form the work; that Mr.. Waters
was registering the voters of
Benton county gratis, and Mr..
Walters has permitted that ina
preston to prevail. ~
In its last issue the Times
says: ''Watters has not re,
ceived a cent for registering
voters Why did it not add,
Nc one engaged in registering
voters in Benton county has re-
ceived a cent for this service.
This would have been true.
The law provides that fee of
ten cents shall be allowed no.
taries for each name registered
by them and voted. Should a
party register and not vote, the
notary receives no fee, therefore,
payment for this service cannot
be made until after election,
when the records will show who
voted and what each notary is
entitled to. Now, Mr.. Waters
stands in the same position as
the various notaries who have
done this work. We have Coun-
ty Judge Woodward for authori.
ty, that it is the understanding
of the court that Mr.. Waters is
to be compensated for the work
of registering in the same man
ner as the various notaries.
This understanding was arrived
at when Mr.. Waters asked the
court for deputy to assist in the
work of registration. He was
denied deputy, but the under
standing was that he was to re.
ceive ten cents for each name
registered by him where the
party voted. The court expects
Mr.. Walters to put in bill for
this work, which will be allowed.
Now, it may be that the court
is laboring under a 1nisappre-
hension on the question. 1t may
be that Mr.. Waters believes the
understanding. between himself
and the court to be that he is to
receive nothing for his work in
registering voters. 1t may be,
as the Times would have the
taxpayers of Benton infer, that
Mr.. Waters saved them the
expense of this work: We hope
this is true, for it will mean a
a saving of 500 to $50 to the
county. ..-.-., -
y There is one way to settle the
question, however. Mr.. Walters
may make affidavit that he will |

A BOLD ROBBERY.

Early last Saturday morning it was
discovered that the safe in the Mesa
post office had been blown up by
burglars and the contents rifled.
An examination showed that the
thieves had pade en- entrance in the
rear Of Judge Woyss Office and had
worked their way to the post Office
safe. Having previously. we'll sup
piled themselves with drills and other
tools from che tool chest of our LOCAL
carpenters and also from local black
smiths, they bored a hole in the safe
and cred shot. The result was not
satisfactory to them and they bored
another hole. This time the ex-
plosives did the work and the door
was blown off.
The thieves seem to have been in
considerable of a hurry as in their
haste they left quite good amount Of
money slowed away in the top draw yer
which seems to have escaped their
notice. They obtained about $1,247
in money, stamps, etc, and decamped.
AS soon as possible the alarm was
given and the sheriff and local officers
were soon in pursuit of the criminals,
whose foot marks were quite plain,
especially as one had peculiarly
marked shoe Constable ". A. Bur-
ton arrested two men, who were held
on suspicion and looked up in the
Tempe Jail. In short time they had

A SURE WINNER.

Hon, N. O Murphy is now before
the people of Arizona seeking election
rs Delegate to Congress. %s
y Although but few days have
elapsed since his nomination, it is now
quite apparent that the Republican
Convention made no mistake when
they selected him as the standard
bearer Of the grand old party in Ari-
zona. All factions in the party have
united in assisting to elect him and
present united front to the common
epeE,y., All differences and disagree
ments have disappeared, and the ut
termost harmony prevails. This is in
marked contrast with the opposing
party, which at present has two can
didates for the Office and two separate
central con mittees, each claiming to
represent the Democratic party in this
CONTEST
The people of Arizona are greatly
interested in the result and will ex-
press their views at the polls in no
upeertain way. Statehood is the issue
and the people cannot be fooled by
the Democratic spell binders. They
recognize the real aud only issue be-
fore thep and will vote for N. 0.
Murphy.
The prospects for Republican sue

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The State Supreme Court has rem
dered decision of Importance OF
miders and prospectors. H. Mann
brought suit against Budlong 4 Deck,
demanding his poasessory right to the
Ontario quartz mine. Budlong &
Deck alleged a failure on the part of
Mann to perform Unnecessary amount
of work required by law, and in the
lower court they won. Mann also
owned the Jeanette claim on the same
lode, continuous and overlapping
claim of the Ontario location. He
drove threo tunnels in the Jeanette
claim 70 develop both properties, the
work repraseRting more labor and
money than required for both claims.
The lower court held that the work
performed on the jeanette did not
tend to develop the Ontario. The.
Supreme Court reverses that decision.
It says that the court shall not sub
stitute its own judgment and wisdom
as to the best methods of developing
the mine in place of that OF the owner
The Supreme Court holds that the
tunnoling tended to develop both
mines. and the cost of the work being
far in excesssof what is required by
law and the work heing in progress At
the time Of the defendants entry, it
can not be said that the original loca-
