pnnl Gilmore.

Paul Gilmore. who will be seen
here in his new play on Friday, Feb.
ruary 2S, successfully stepped from
the school day of amateur to the
small actor in one of the most ia
nous of the stock companies in ex-
istence at this time.
His untiring efforts in that position
were soon rewarded. however, with
leading parts in the support of prom
inent stars and with leading produc-
tions-he being leading man with one
of the Frohman stock companies, pre-
senting THE Charity Ball" THE
Wife" and Men and Women" at
one time.
He was then spoken of by the crit
les as the youngest leading man on
the stage. After this engagement
Mr.. Gilmore became a star with great
success as D'Artagnan. in THE Three
and it was tnen that
this rising actor was compared with
Salvini and declared his successor.
The following season Mr.. Gilmore
starred in Under the Red Robe" and
the following spring he was especial
ly engaged to support Miss Henrietta
Crossman as King Charles in mis-
tress Nelp at Wallack's theater in
New York. During this famous run
Mr.. Jules Murry, the well known
theatrical manager, first saw Mr..
Gilmore and was so strongly inn
pressed with his worth that he imme-
diately signed him for a long term
of years.
During the first year. Mr., Murry
presented Mr.. Gilmore in the "Tyran-
ny of Tears and the second year in
"The Mummy and the Humming
Bird" The third year Mr.. Gilmore,
longing to return to the romantic,
Mr.. Nurry purchased the play rights
to the popular book, "Debonnaire, ,"
and made the production with Mr..
Gilmore in the title role. Last year
Mr.. Gilmore played "At Yale" a col
lege play, with great success, and
this year he has the best of all, so
the critics say, in an upto date COM
edy called "The Wheel Of Love-"
The company has been selected
with the greatest care and the pro-
duction in every respect is one of the
most beautiful of the season. That
Mr.. Gilmore has assumed a high
place among those famous for success
is not for a moment doubted by all
who have followed his progress and
known his ability.

WOULD RE ELECT ALL COUNTY OFFICERS

Falrview Farm. Brlggson, Ore,
Feb. 25.-(To the East oregonlan.)--
As the time for the primary nomlne-
tion is now again approaching, the
people are beginning to be interested
in the matter of securing the very best
and most capable candidates for the
various pubic offices to be filled
Now Of late years our good old
Umatilla county has certainly had
good and sufficient reasons to rejoice
and be. very highly satisfied with the
honest and efficient services rendered
by its public officials, and our present
county servants have certainly proven
to be both honest, faithful and efflc-
lent even in the strictest sense Of the
term.
This being true, then why should
not the people insist on retaining them
in their present respt t,tive positions
for yet another term? pis'
And when we all MIRO admit that
there is absolutely nothing to be
ga ned by changing a true and tried
servant for any new and untried one.
The same rules thate are good for
the individual employer must in rea-
son apply with. equal force in relation
to re-employing a competent and
honest public servant. And as a mat
ter Of fact. the longer the said offic-
ial has served the public in his pres
ent position, the more efficient he be-
comes. No merchant would ever
dream of discharging his honest and
! faithful bookkeeper or clerk as long
as he need his services and can keep
/ him in his employ, and the fact that
! the said servant has been in the serv-
| ice of the merchant for several terms
or years would only serve to increase
the value of the labor of said clerk
to the said merchant
1t is honesty, ability and faithful
ness that counts with the merchant
and causes him to retain the same in
dividual servant year after year with
out any periodical limits.
Now the taxpayers of the county
want to follow the same sensible rule
and hang on to every good and effic'
lent public servant as long as is pos
sible, regardless Of whether it makes
a third or a 23d term.
And as a rule the greater the num-
ber of terms the more fitted the can
dldate is for the place or position by
virtue of experience.
Let us take for instance T. d. Tay
lor, our present able and efficien
sheriff. 1t cannot and will not be dis
puted by any honest citizen anywhere
that Mr.. Taylor has been and Is nov
all around a most faithful homes
public official and also the most en-
ergetic, capable and reliable sheriff

The East Oregonian has just re-
ceived the following clipping from
the Arizona Republican from E. ].
Burke, the well known wool buyer,
who visits this city annually for the
Judd and Root people, The clipping
gives an account of the breaking of
the worlds sheepshearing record at
Beardsley. Arizona. and as the
worlds champion shearer spoken of
in the article is coming to Umatilla
and Morrow counties to shear this
year, the facts will be of unusual in
terest to sheepmen and sheep shear
ers. The article is as follows;
Two worlds records were broken
yesterday by the Beardsley sheep
shearing camp. an achievement which
again brings Arizona to the fore, and
establishes the assertion beyond the
point Of controversy. that the camp
has the most rapid and cleanest gang
of shearers ever gathered together in
the United States. Thirty men in 8
hours yesterday sheared 6572 head of
sheep, a record, and an average of
practically 22O head to the man.
The other record made was for the
number Of sheep shorn by one man in
a single day. A. T. Hill broke the
world record of 80 head held by
Wynne, his tally showing S25 shorn
in 9 hours. Bowdle took second
place with a tally of 300.
The shearers are paid at the rate
of Ia cents per head. Hill will re-
ceive S23.55 for his days work and
Bowdle S22.4O. from which figures
some idea can be had of the high re-
muneratlon they get for their hard
labor, when it is added that at
Beardsley they are given the best OF
board for 81 per day. The total sum
paid out for yesterdays shesrlng was
S4i3.97, or an average Of $15.95 per
man for the 30 shearers.
The sheep sheared yesterday be-
longcd to James A. Pitts, who has a
flock Of 10000. He expressed him
self as most highly pleased with the
work and the record The Arizona
Sheep Shearing company. OF which
Colin Campbell is the president, is do
ing the work and it is conceded by
sheepmen generally that the Boards
ley camp is the best in the United
States today. Charles +. Larson is
in charge Of the shearing camp, and
yesterdays record shows the able
manner in which the plant is being
conducted. Visitors there recently
state that the general management of
the camp is all that could be desired.
From the time the sheep come into
the corral, till the wool is in the car,
no moment is lost or wasted, and
there is no unnecessary handling.
This is. the only camp in the country
where the loading is done direct from
the corral to the car. So convenient
ly and quickly is it transported, that
no damage can result to the wool
from possible rain. BY making use Of
a horse to handle the wool from the
corral to the car, this part OF the
work can be carried on to much bet

ter advantage than in any other
camp.
Beardsley at any other time in the
year is merely a section house, Now
Il has taken on the appearance of a
white city, with its thirty or more
tents which are the mems sleeping
quarters and the long mess tent, with
seating capacity for 100 men, who
are daily provided for with first class
cuisine.
At night when the white city is
agleam with lighted tents, and flick
ering bon fires about which the
groups gather, it presents a pictur-
esque scene-embossome in the
primordial silence of the great desert,
stretching to far, gloomy mountain
ranges crouched down upon the
sands.

In fact, he is by far the most ef-

Excited Pilot Rocker Failed TO See

Exercises.
During the big Woodmen initiation
last night there occurred one stunt
| that was not in the ritual nor was it
arranged for by those in charge of
the fraternal carnival. Had 1t not
been for the prompt action OF by
ISLANDERS the play would probably have
resulted in dead organizer.
1t seems that for the edification of
the go odd embryo woodchoppers
present last night, a special line Of
action was prepared for them with
Organizer Saunders as the leading
| character. While the initiates were
closely confined in the room under a
heavy guard, Saunders was brought
| into the room in what was supposed
to be drunken condition. In carry
ing out the part he began upon a
wildly inflammatory speech and was
promptly called down. But he would
not desist and when the guards at
! tempted to take him in charge he
proceeded to draw a wicked looking
gun. loaded with blanks. OF course,
and began to fire at will"
Among those in the big audience
there were some who were next" to
what was going on. but there were
some who were not. one of the lat
ter was a big fellow from the from
tier" in the vicinity of Pilot Rock and
he took the proceedings most seri-
ously When Saunders began to shoot
away his blank cartridges the man
from the fork of Birch creek consid-
cred it time for him to draw also
According to those who were upon the
scene he did draw and It was only the
quick interference of nearby brothers
that kept him from responding tC
Saunders shots with cold lead.

TO VOTE ON LIBRARY

AT the city council meeting Monday
night it was VOL to submit to the
voters at the time Of the municipal
election project to tax the city prop-
erty mills annually for a period of 10
years or as much thereof as is nee
essary to raise an amount of $4,000
annually for the purpose of maintain
ing q free public library in Devils
Lake, provided that Mr.. Andrew Car
negie would give to this city the
amount of S15oO0.00 for the erection of
building for library purposes.
This. is matter that should have
the careful attention Of the voters, as
il mears much to our city. 1t means
tie erection of a fine new building
az we'll as the equipment and main
tenance Of a first class free public
library. $1,50o.O0 would pro',e ample
for the proper care and maintenance
CT the building and keep it well sup
Piled with proper literature.
Devils Lake needs just such m in
stitption as this and we feel certain
that when the time comes to vote on
this question it will receive the sane
ton OF our citizens. Our city has
grown to that proportion that it is
Incumbent upon US not only to look
after our own interests but to have
some consideration for the floating
population which is large, and there
is no, better way than by providing
them with a place where they can 20

DEMOCRATIC SHOE 5PlNcHEs,


A phaze Of. the North Dakota PrIm.
airy election law has come to light un-
der investigation that is causing the
party leaders of our friends the en-
envy to sit up and take notice. 1t is
found in Sec. 70 of that law which
reads as follows: IF the total vote
cast for any party candidate or candi
dates for any office for which nomina.
lions are herein provided for, shall
equal less than 30 per cent of the total
number OF votes cast for secretary
of state of the political party, he or
they represented at the last general
election, no nomination shall be made
in that party for such office"
Now the democrats two years ago
received the advantage of strife in the
republican ranks and succeeded in
landing several Offices and polling a
large vote, which victory they very
much gloried in. But what do they
find at this time? BY referring to the
records OF. two years ago'we find that
at the 1906 primaries Sheriff Bedford
democrat received 80 votes, while Mr..
Mclean republican nominee for the
same office received 1887. Thus show
ing the comparative strength of the
two parties, and what may reasonably
be expected to be polled at the pri-
mary election
What was the result of the election
held in the fall of the same year? For
secretary of state A. H. Berg, demo
crat received SS7 votes in Ramsey
county. This was wholly due to the
strife in the republican ranks, which
was prevalent all over the state. 1t
set a mark high above the real
strength of the democratic party in
Ramsey county, and has made their
task at this time very difficult one.
According to the primary law, it
will be necessary for the democratic
nominees to poll at the primary cleo
ton 80 per cent of 8S7 votes to get on
the ballot. Now when it is taken Into
consideration that this amounts to a
poll Of 266 votes at this primary for
each candidate as against 50 votes,
which was the highest cast by this
party two years ago, it will readily be
seen that they have a job laid out for
them.
Of course they will have to receive
support from republicans to make the
raise and it is a question how many
republicans there are that are so
charitably inclined as to lend their
assistance to the opposing party in
order that they may be represented on
the ballot. Certain it is that there is
less strife in the republican ranks than
there was two years ago and it is
also certain that if the democrats get
representation on the official ballot
they will have to get out and hustle.

thing serious occurs than to wait until
fatalities force them upon us. The
Star theatre, has windows along the
side where a person can almost step
out onto the ground, still it is thought
that door in the side, marked exit
and left unlocked during performances,
with the front and back exits would
be amply sufficient. But the armory
is a veritable fire trap. The room is
large and many times is filled almost
to it's capacity, and fire in the build
ing under these circumstances, or for
that matter even a scare which so Of
ten occurs in such places would be
sure to result in fatalities. There is
only two known escapes, one from the
side door through which people can
pass only slowly and a back door
from the stage which is known only
to few of the audience, and which can
be reached only with difficulty. The
windows are high, and practically of
no use for exit in case of panic. 1t
had been intimated that this matter
was to receive attention at the time
the license was considered, but the
ordinance failed to touch it. This is
q matter that should receive attention,
or the time will surely come when in
action will be charged up against the
city.
