Dan Breland is the first man to
formally present his candidacy for
the Office of sheriff and Tax Collector
before the people. This paper con
tanned his announcement last weeN
but our comment postponed till now.
For sometime past it has been Il
foregOne conclusion that he would
offer 10 succeed his brother to this
Office His close association with him
during the entire tenure, as chief
deputy as well as local deputyship
at Merrill for part of the Valley ad-
ministration, has given him a most
thorough acquaintance with both Of
fees even to the minutest details,
and in the training he has displayed
peculiar affinity for the work, dis
charging all his duties with Jealous
and satisfactory acumen. At short
/ times during the absen.e of his

land fitting man for the responsibility.
Fan wlll rake a coed official for
the birth ne seeks, not a bit of doubt
about it, as he is a tried and proven
article. He may have some little
faults, but none that will be allowed
to Interfere with his Official duties
and his fitness for the place com
mends him very strongly TO the cleo
torote of our county, but wheth-
err or not he vii be able to beat The
other boys, who are going to try the
handicap with him, to the happy
goal, remains 10 be seen. His vigi-
lance, bis promptness, his fearless
mes, his extensive knowledge of the
criminal tendencies and habits and
his unquessioned fearlessness, are
strong assets to his political fortune
when viewed for this Office

WE SOLICIT YOUR
 BUSINESS

The Havalena Mining Company, which has four good claims adjoin- ing the ground of the National Consolidated Company, has con- cluded that the development going on in the ground of the latter named company will help their stock along fully as we'll as to sell shares now at low price to put the money into the ground. By awaiting six months or more the work in the National Consolidated will prove their ground, and their own shares will command higher prices, with a result that they can do their own development with sales of fewer shares than to sell now. So they have cancelled an arrangement they were negotiat- ing to appoint a fiscal agent in Chicago and begin the sale of shares.
