enabled to triumph over all the suffer
ings which the Master permitted to come
to her. The funeral services were con-

a political but a judiciary office as
much so as the Circuit Judge or JUS.
tice Of the Peace In aspiring to that
office | would just as soon ask a Re-
publican, as Democrat, Socialist or
nonpartisan for his support, as the
office should be and during my in
cumbency always has been conducted
without regard to politics.
| have resided in Clatsop County
for "a years, my whole interests are
here, and / expect to remain here.
! have tried to conduct the office
with impartiality and fairness and
with a due regard to the interest Of
the taxpayers. The annual appropria-
tions of the County Court for the
Coroner's office which includes, physi.
clans, jurors and witness fees and
other necessary expenses such as
boat hire have been 100000 and the
actual expense has often been much
below this figure. | have always
deemed it an honor to be Coroner and
am willing to submit the matter Of
my reelection to the voters on my
record during my long tenure in the
office. w. c. A. POHL.

MARINE MEMORANDA
OF YESTERDAY
THE MINNIE KELToN IS STILL
AGROUND IN THIS HARBoR-
YEDDO LEAVES UP FOR
ROSE CITY-STATE OF CALI
FoRNIA AND ELDER OUTSIDE

Writing, upon the presumption that
all things would work we'll with the
Harvest Queen and the derelict
steamer Minnie Kelton, on Saturday
night this paper announced that the
tow was on its way to Portland, but
it appears this did not transpire. The
Queen made good haul on the
stranded vessel and moved her from
a mud bottom to a clean and sandy
shallow near by, but did not succeed
in getting her off; for the more she
was hauled toward deep channel
water the more her stern sank, and
it was deemed inexpedient to do any
further work at this time. 1t is said,
now, that Captain Genereaux thinks
it will be necessary to erect Golfer
dam around the elton, line it, and
pump out the water in and around
her, in order to accurately ascertain
the damage she has sustained; but
this is mere guess-work and is yet to
be confirmed.

Hood River County.

f1Oou NVcI SouHty'
We have received a letter from the
Hood River Commercial Club signed
by A. A. Jayne, president Of that or
ganization; p. S. Davidson, secretary
f. O. Blanchar, Charles Hall, Tru'
man Butler, w. l.. Clark and {. +
Early, directors, as follows:
We wish to call your attention
briefly to the initiative bill for the
creation OF Hood River County
The assessed valuation in the pro-
posed Hood River County for 1907
was $2,762,25O, the area is about 500
square miles and the population
about $500.
This will leave in Wasco County
an assessed valuation OF $5,475,72O
and area Of about 1916 square miles
and a population OF about l,5OO, thus
leaving it among the largest and
strongest counties in the State,
The tax levy in Wasco County for
1907 is IA mills, which would raise in
the proposed Hood River County $685.
67l.50 which would be ample to pay
the expenses OF operating the new
County and leave substantial bal
ance.
Our reason for bringing the mat
ter before the people by the initiative,
is that under the constitution as
amended, counties can only be Great
ed by the Legislature by a general
law, and we believe the interests Of
this community would suffer greatly
if we should be compelled to wait un'
til such measure could be passed by
the Legislature.
"Whatcycr you may be able to do
for the support OF this measure will
be appreciated by the Hood River
Commercial Club"
Electric Railroad Proposition.
Mr.. +. L. Evans who has been in
correspondence with US for some time
is in the city looking into the advis-
ability of promoting an electric rail
road from here to Seaside. He has
taken the matter up as a private bust
ness enterprise and was expected to
be present at this meeting but for
some unknown reason he failed to
appear.
Mr.. Evans has recently organized

Company, with headquarters at Jack
