WILL NOT
DECLINES TO RUN FOR OFFICE
OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Experience From Actual Observation
Teaches Him That Young Men
Can Be Too Previous.

For some time it has been known that
Will Nd. Peterson, the popular young
attorney, has been importuned by his
democratic friends to accept the nomi.
nation for district attorney. After due
deliberation, Mr.. Peterson has resolved
not to enter the lists for political honors,
aud addresses the following communica-
tion to this paper:
Athena, March 31-To the Editor
Will you please allow me space in your
valuable paper to thank my many
friends OF the democratic party for their
kindly consideration OF me as possible
candidate for district attorney in this
judicial district? / would have to de-
cline the nomination if rendered me for
following reasons: It has not yet been
three years since / left my native state,
North Carolina, and came to Oregon,
and am therefore too young as an
Oregonian to ask for Office at the hands
of my party in this state. AS a prac-
titioner of the law I am not yet four
years old, and in actual age am yet on
the ''sunny side of thirty" Experience
from actual observation has taught me
that young men can be too previous in
launching out upon the uncertain seas
of political ambition. | am perfectly
content, at this time, to remain in the
beautiful little city of Athena, the ban
ner democratic Hercules of Umatilla
county. and practice law, and in the
shadow of the majestic Blue Mountains
breathe the pure ozone attending foliage
and flower, and enjoy the hospitality OF
the best people on earth. Even the re-
public Ms in this section of the county
are such good fellows that you can
hardly distinguish them from simon
pure democrats.
Moreover, there is more available
material in the party than |. There is
Col. j. II. Raley, whose big heart and
warm hand has been felt all over the
state, and who can be elected by hand
some majority; also there is the present
efficient incumbent, Hon. T. G. Haley,
who can win the laurels again. Then,
there is Charles Fl. Carter, A. d. Still
man, W. M. Pierce and @. e. Redheld,
either of whom would fill the duties of
the Office with credit to the party and
the people. One of these will have to
take nomination, and, whoever he is,
Athena will come to his aid with her
usual record for democracy. Yet, this
is an Office in which politics proper
ahould cut little figure. 1t is one Of
those positions in which the man, not
the politician, should be found.

EARLY FRUIT IN BLOOM.
Milton Apricot Orchards Are Clothed
In Mantles Of Blossoms.


In Mantles OF Blossoms.
Tassie Stewart, the well known
farmer Of Milton tells Pendleton paper
that the early apricot trees in the Milton
and Freewater districts are now in full
bloom and give promise of bearing a
heavy crop. Although several severe
frosts have visited that section recently,
no damage has been done.
This early crop Of apricots will ripen
in July, fully four weeks earlier than
the crop in Grand Ronde valley.
Mr.. Stewart sent some "Hood River"
strawberry plants from his Milton
orchard to his brother at Pacific Grove,
Cal, last December, and a recent letter
from his brother says these plants will
produce ripe fruit within the next few
days, being several weeks earlier than
any Of the native California varieties.
The fruit crop in the Milton district
promises to be excellent this year and
the people are in hopes cannery will
be established in time to handle the
crop this season.
