OhA5 NAS "ASO
the first Tuesday in January, the new
county officers we're duly installed in
office, the old officials accounts and
records having first been inspected and
verified and an accounting had and
made with the county commissioners.
The new officers are:
COUNTY E
Into this office Charles Skalla was in
troduced. THE TRIBUNE believes that
Mr.. Skalla will make good and that his
conduct of the office will be prompt,
efficient and courteous. Miss Mile
Ebert will be his deputy. She was re-
Gently advanced to hat position under
County Clerk E. j. Wilcox from that of
recording clerk and is we'll qualified,
Miss Sadie Coyle, for five years a clerk
in the McCook postoffice under Post
master Kimmell, will give a good ac-
count of herself as recording clerk.
COUNTY TREASURER.
This important office of trust falls in
to the hands of Clifford MAIDEN, an ex-
cellent young man of fine qualifications
of business and heart. We expect moth
ing but good report from him-reliable,
steady, experienced as he is in business
! affairs and courteous as he is by nature.
He is also to be congratulated upon his
choice of deputy, in selecting and Sc
curing HI. w. Conover, the present de-
putty under County Treasurer Cochran.
Herb is accurate, rapid, genial and
reliable, and has been a very satisfactory
deputy.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Miss Claudia Hatcher will fill this
place with credit and profit to the sys-
tenn and educational matters in Red
Willow county. She succeeds an ener-
getic and efficient administration and
will bring all of the qualifications neces-
sary to advance the work in the office,
having had experience in teaching in
both city and country schools, which
coupled with the necessary educational
qualifications and fine administrative
capacity, open the way for a term Of
success and usefulness in the office of
county superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
DISTRICT COURT CLERK.
Chester A. Rodgers, who has been viz
tually the occupant of that office for the
past year, on account of the absence of
r. W. Devoe at school, steps in as chief
in fact. He has had valuable experience
during his incumbency of that Office
and with his careful attention to bust
ness and fine personal attachments will
carry on the work of the office with sue
cess and credit. He is also clerk of the
U. S. district and U. S. circuit courts.
COUNTY ASSESSOR.
T. A. EndsIey follows Charles Skalla
into this office. He has served as pre-
cinct assessor with credit and will no
doubt fulfill the duties of the larger
place with success and satisfaction,
keeping in mind the growing Importance
of that position in the county's business
system.
The other new officials are DIR. w. A.
DeMay, county coroner, and Andrew
Barber, who will be equal to any emer-
gency.
PRESENT INCUMBENTS.
Of the rest of the county directorate,
County Judge J. G. Moore, Sheriff H. 1.
Peterson, and Commissioner G. B. Gray
are at present holding offices they con-
tinue in, and of them nothing need be
offered. The proof of the pudding is in
the eating. They have administered
their several positions and offices to the
satisfaction of the people, a fact which
is finally determined by their election
by large majorities for new terms.
In fine, it is fair to expect that Red
Willow county will enjoy the services of
efficient officers during the ensuing term.
