Lake.
Simeon Bolton, the nominee Tor
county clerk, is a native OF Wasco coun-
ty, having been born upon farm few
miles from The Dalles, where he grew
to manhood, receiving his education in
the schools of the county. Mr.. Bolton
is man of sterling worth, and his rep
utation as an upright and honorable cit
izen as we'll as careful and prudent
business man is equal to that OF any
citizen OF the county. He has had much
experience in the Office to which he as
pires, as deputy, in which position he
has given eminent satisfaction. 1T Is
safe to say that there is no man in the
county who is so thoroughly familiar
with the records and files Of the clerks
office as is Mr.. Bolton, and there is no
one so well qualified to attend to its
msny details As Mr.. Lake, the present
clerk, is not candidate for reelection,
the people OF Wasco county cannot at
this time afford TO lose the services OF
Mr.. Bolton and his years OF experience
in the office, and we predict that the
voters OF the county will so declare by
electing Mr.. Bolton by an overwhelming
majority on Monday next.
F.C. Sexton, the present encumbent
OF the sheriff's office, is out for re-elect-
ion. That this popular sheriff will be
continued in Office even the members OF
the other parties are willing 10 admit.
He has served the people OF Wasco
county well and faithfully for two years,
and the affairs OF this Office will be safe
in the hands of Mr.. Sexton for another
two years. He is conscientious and
thorough in the performance OF his du-
ties, and his reelection will be de-
serving compliment to his faithful SER
vices for the taxpayers in the past.
NJ. Y. Donnell, successful young
druggist OF The Dales, is the party
nominee for county treasurer, and while
to most Hood River voters he is not II
personal acquaintance, the Glacier is
pleased 10 recommend him as an hon
orable, upright young man of sterling
worth. Hood River voters will make
no mistake in casting their ballots for
Mr.. Donnell for Wasco county's next
treasurer
Asa G. stogsdill, candidate for assess
or has been continuous resident ofWas-
co county for over seventeen years. For
ten years he taught school, eight years
of that time in Wasco county, where he
give the best of satisfaction. He held
II commission and acted as deputy sher'

Is census enumerator in the precincts
Of Tygh, Warnic and Oak Grove, in TAX
ny the United States census in 1900.
Also elected as Justice Of the Peace in
Tygh precinct four years ago, but trefused
to qualify. Mr.. Stogsdill's experience
as assessor extends over period of five
years, when he acted as deputy assessor
in tie Tygh valley, his work being
entirely satisfactory. At present Mr.
Stogsdill is engaged in farming and
stock raising, and filling the office OF
school clerk OF his district
, G. ii. Stoughton is the nominee fo

! No man better qualified in every re

9 stranger to Hood River people, havin
lived among them for seven years prio
to his being called to The Dalles, wher
Z. he went to accept the principalship {

B. a doubt. The recent case wherein No

No Menefee for this important office.
% was hard matter TO get this case line
ID up for trial. Witnesses were hunted u
II and called from various parts of Orego
n and Washington, as well as Iowa an
g Connecticut. The general sentimen
ID was that the state would not be able
: secure conviction, but after listenin
0 TO the testimony Mr.. Menefee and hi
Q able assistant, Fred Wilson, were abl
s to put up to the jury, that idea wa
II changed, and it was pronounced one O
l. the most complete cases ever given TO
d jury in The Dalles. The case itself wi
certainly a remarkable one from II
}, fact that the state was very short in ii
