Greenville Fair

Everything is going along smoothly,
all necessary work being done except
the shouting, for the success OF the
Greenville fair, which will be held in
this city September 2O-23. But there
is one thing we notice and that is the
lack Of enthusiasm of the people. Brace
up, people OF Greenville. and talk about
the fair that is going TO be held in
Greenville. You can't say too much,
for every promise, in reason, that you
make will be faithfully carried out.
Call on &. L. Grabill, the secretary,

material and then let your tongue and

Our citizens and business men were
shocked early Tuesday morning to learn
that Hibbard p. McElroy had died
about o'clock. He had not been sick
enough TO keep him away from his
place OF business, although he had
complained some of not feeling very
well, stomach trouble being the cause.
He was down town in the forenoon,
seemingly as well as usual, but in the
evening was taken with acute pain.
Drs. Pinkham and Dutt were called
and prescribed for him but there seemed
TO be no permanent help and he passed
quietly and quickly away On the couch
with his wife by his side.
Mr.. McElroy had resided on the cor
ner where he died for forty-two years
and was one OF our business men of
long service, having been engaged i'm
the barber business for more than twen-
ty-five years. "Hib," as he was IA
miliarly known, will be greatly missed
from the business circles of the city.
He was member OF the Masonic or
der and also knight Of Pythias and
Maccabees.
The funeral will be held Saturday at

Judging 10y the total vote he has

TOWNSEND WAS HERE
Popular Candidate for United States
Senate Made Good Speech

rOpuiar CANDIDATE for United States
Senate Made Good Speech
Congressman Chas. +. Townsend
and party came into Belding nearly on
schedule time and after dining at Hotel
Belding and greeting many of our citi-
zens, he was escorted TO the band stand,
from which he delivered fifteen min
ute speech.
He was introduced by +. b. Lapham
and it was Immediately discovered by
the good sized audience which had as
mbled that he was man who knew
where he was at and could tell it i'm a
forceful, pleasing and logical way.
He argued that i'm this strenuous age
1t was necessary TO have men in the
United States senate who were able
and vigorous enough TO grasp the situ-
alton Of things as they are today and
deal with problems i'm the interest of
all the people.
There were q large number of old
soldiers in his audience and he gave
them fine talk, showing that although
he was not old enough TO shoulder a
musket when the war broke out, yet
he was a stanch and loyal friend of the
, old veteran and would at all times look
after their interests in the law-making
power OF Congress.
Mr.. Townsend's brief address inn
pressed all who heard him with the
thought that he would be man OF
power and action in the United States
senate.
Mr.. Lapham introduced him as the
next United States Senator from Mich
igan.

contributing to republican campaigns

over the hop contract between t. A.
Livesley & Co. and the Krebs Hop
Company in 1906, was arrived at by
the supreme court yesterday morning
with a judgment in favor of Krebs
Bros, including damages. attorneys
fees and other expenses of the litiga-
ton. The suits will cost the Livesley
company close to $4,000. The opinion
in the case was written by Associate
Justice King.
A contract was entered into by T. A.
Livesley and John ]. Roberts a part
nership doing business as T. A. Lives
ley & Co., with the Krebs Hop COM
pany in 1905 for 100000 pounds of
hops at IA cents pound, to be de-
livered during the years of 1905, 1906,
1907 and 1908. The contract was per-
formed by both parties in 1905, but in
1906 the Krebs Hop company and
Ladd & Bush, assignees of the Krebs
Hop company, were notified in writ
ing by Livesley that Livesley would
not further consider the contract bind
ing upon the company.

AMBITIOUS EDITORS
Second District PenciI-Pushers Would
Warm Ellis Seat in Congress.

Frank Davey, former editor Of this
paper, says the Statesman, is being
talked of as a candidate from the Sec
ond district to succeed Congressman
Ellis. Davey is now editor of the Har-
ney County News. In fact three news
paper men are being mentioned for
congress in the Second district to try
conclusions with Representative Ellis.
These are Editor Dellinger. of the AS
torian; b. e. Kennedy, of the Baker
City Herald, and Frank Davey of the
Harney County News. Other papers
are yet to be heard from. This is the
first time that so many quiIl-drivers
congressional nomination in many
years.
Mr. Dellinger, who has been a res
ident of Astoria for years, and has
been identified with politics in Clat-
sop county, would be more pleasing
one from eastern Oregon, for Astoria
wants appropriations. Mr.. Kennedy
has been talked of considerably of late.
Kennedy has been active in state pol
itics, although never holding public
office, and has been progressive re-
publican. Frank Davey, ex-speaker of
the house and several times a MEM
ber of the Oregon legislature, is now
a resident of Eastern Oregon, located
at Burns. Mr.. Davey is, perhaps, the
best known of the three newspaper
men through his work in the legis-
lature, when he represented Marion
County, and for his campaigning for
the republican ticket on various occa-
sions.
Since Ellis shaved off his flowing
patriarchial whiskers which formerly
served as a chest protector, the news
paper men consider that they have an
even chance with Ellis on the farmer
vote. OF course, George Shepherd will
be a candidate for the congressional
nomination again-he has announced
that he will always be a candidate
until elected. Shepherd is not an edit
or, however, so he is not in the same
class with Dellinger, Kennedy and
Davey.
