CHANGES OCCUR
At COURT HOUGE
THE COUNTY OFFICERS TOOK
CHARGE OF AFFAIRS AT COURT
HOUSE MONDAY.

Plat Elected Chairman of the Board
Coroner Lang Came Up Without His
Bonds and Hal to Return to Get
Them-Otherwis Installation Was
Quiet.
The new officers of Canyon county
were duly indicted into office Monday
morning. Retiring Commissioner Otto
G.. Rinehart administered the oath of
office to the new board of county ocm-
missioners. After the ceremony
Messrs w. II. Plat, d. P. Dood and j.
e. Kerrick retired from the scene to
organize. The organization was eff
fected by electing Mr.. Plat chairman.
The board then proceeded to examine
and approve the bonds of the other
officers. At this stage it became ap-
parent that Coroner Lang of Parma
had forgotten to bring his bond with
him. He had left them in the left
hand hip pocket of his everyday trous-
ers. Two pair of trousers are nuis-
ance Mr.. Lang had to 90 back to
Parma to get the bonds. The bonds
which the several officers are under
follow: Clerk OF the district court,
$4,000; sheriff, $4,000; assessor
100000; treasurer 100000; and $4,000
additional as public administrator;
probate judge $4,000; superintendent of
schools $4,000.
Canyon county should have a clean
economical administration during the
next two years. Every county office is
filled zy a Republican, prima facie
evidence of honesty integrity and fore
sight. Nearly every one of the new
officers has had more or less exper-.
fence in the office to which he was
elected. Commissioner Kerrick was
reelected at the last election. Com
missioners Plat and TodN have both
served on the board before. In the
past they displayed good sense, sound
judgment and great ability. We do
not believe that they have deterior
ated to any appreciate extent.
Sheriff Watkins has been sheriff be-
fore. Assessor Christopher has
worked in his office in the past; Judge
Henry, Miss Carleton, Fred Neon
nell, Coroner Plat, Treasurer Munk
were reelected. Attorney Ellston
has filled similar positions in his time.
Clerk Stovel in the abstract office be-
came familiar with a great deal OF the !
work in the clerks office and besides
is signal. y adapted to that kind of
work. 1t looks like the county is |
safe for two years at least.
DR.. c. B. Dudley of Weiser was in
the city Sunday.
Friday a daughter was born to Mr.

S. +, CLANCY of Middleton was in
