ply will be totally inadequate to meet
the demand.

order to be available for the services on
Tuesday. The city Of Heppner wall pay

should Feel Consoled In Defeat by Flat
tering Vote Received.
Hundreds of stanch friends will agree
with the following merited commenda-
ton Of County Judge Hartman, by the
Weston Leader:
"Judge Hartman should feel consoled
in defeat by the hattering vote which he
received in his home precinct, North
Pendleton, and his old home town, Wes-
ton. He did not want the nomination,
which was twice thrust upon him by bis
party. Taking it he made strong
campaign and although beaten man he
stands higher than ever in the esteem
of his friends and party. To be beaten
by about three dozen votes in county
several hundred republican, with bitter
political enemies hot after his scalp, is
no disgrace. Moreover, Judge Hart
man is able to retire with the knowledge
that he has given the people a faithful,
economical and honest administration.
Abuse has left no stain upon him.
