Why This Strange Advice?

Many readers of the Gazette are wandering what it meant by advising them to vote for two candidates for mayor the primary when only is to be elected and why votes should be cast for eight candidates for the commission when only four to be elected. We confess do not know why this advice given If should follow it he might as well remain away the polls for all such Gazette ballots will be thrown uncounted Is it possible that it is the pur pose of the Gazette to bring about invaidation of the ballots of those who will be centering the secret ticket? The effect such bal lot would be the going to the polls at all
 All along the Gazette had been advising read concentrate. that they might vote against another. but it to be going little too far advise the individual voter to scatter his vote and vote against himself A citizen vote only for candidate for mayor and only four candidates for the commission.

Campaign Against Illegal Voting

It is alleged that great many persons who are not legal voters of Phoenix have been regis tered for the city primary and general election and that unless they prevented many illegal votes will be cast next Wednesday. All such illegal voters will be challenged and all illegal methods used in the election will be prosecuted vigorously
 It is to the shame of the American people that election frauds comparatively seldom punished After election is if the side against Whicn it has been committed won in a spirit of mistaken magnanimity it dsmsses the whole matter; it has anyhow If the side has lost. what's the use? Why go further trouble and expense?
 This is not good citizenship On the trary it is an encouragement of election frauds It leaves clean government in constant peril. It is the duty of every citizen win lose, prosecute the illegal voter vigorously he would prose- cute thief. forger or any other crlmirs.. The

EIGHT MILE.

Mrs. Anna Pickett Of Lexing-
ton is visiting at the home of T.
W. Rippee for a few days.
Emerson Keithley, Frank Fra
ters and Nose Ashbaugh were
Hardman visitors Saturday.
John Burton is doing some
blasting for Frank Fraters this
week. Frank is determined to
get more water or lose what he
has. We wish you success,
Frank.
The four-week rabbit hunt at
Eightmile Center was brought
to a close Saturday night. The
count showed a total catch Of
1243 rabbits, the winning side
having q majority of So scalps.
A supper will be given Jan. 30.
A new telephone line is being
built from Hardman via Rood
Canyon and will connect with the
Heppner and Eightmile line at
T. W. Rippee's place. This will
be a great benefit to both Hard
man and Eightmile. We are
looking with pleasure to the COM
pletion ofthe line. All the ranch
along the line between Hardman
and Rippee's will put in phones.
The strongest wind of the sea-
son, or for that matter for sew
eral seasons, visited Eightmile
Saturday morning. We have no
idea Of the velocity of it but it
blew the tops off several straw
stacks and unroofed out buildings
and turned several of them up
side down. 1t was followed by
g heavy snow storm which lasted
about 80 minutes. We are glad
to say we all lived through it
and have about recovered our
nerve.
Now that the rabbit hunt is
over and we older ones have had
the pleasure Of hunting them
and ridding the community of
their pesty presence, let us now
begin to arrange a little fun that
the children can take part in as
well as the older ones. Let us a
little later in the season organize
a squirrel hunt and at the finish
give an ice cream social or some
thing of this nature for the bene-
fit of the little folks. Think it
over.

PURCHASER WILL
GET FULL WEIGHT
Sealer of Weights And
Measures Will Have the
Laws Enforced.

Having been appointed Inspec-
tor of Weights and Measures for
Morrow County, | desire to state
that | shall strictly enforce the
laws in regard to the sale of all
commodities affected by this law.
The law provides that the pur-
chaser is entitled to the net
weight or measure Of any COM
modify purchased.
If the purchaser buys a ham,
he is entitled to the net weight
of the ham and should not be
made to pay for the canvas cover
and several ounces of wrapping
paper.
He is also entitled to buy the
ham at it's true weight at the
time of sale and not what it did
weigh two or three months be-
fore. Merchants are cautioned
not to use liquid measure for dry
measure. In measuring cram
berries and other like commodi-
ties, dry measure must be used.
The loss to the purchaser where
liquid measure is used instead of
dry is about Is per cent.
Cord wood must contain LIS
cubic feet to the cord.
Ice must be weighed at the
time of delivery and not at the
| ice house.
A sack Of potatoes must weigh
100 pounds, and if more or less
than 100pounds, the exact weight
must be marked in plain figures
on the sack. The purchaser is
entitled to what he pays for and
any person attempting to short
weight another will be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.

TO THE VOTERS OF MORROW
COUNTY
Having decided to retire from
the political field of Morrow Coun-
ty, | wish at this time to express
my thanks to the people of Nor
row County for the honors they
have conferred upon me. When
| have completed this term Of
my office, | will have served in a
public office twelve and one-half
years four years as deputy sher-
iff and eight and one-half years
as County Clerk. This gives me
the honor of the longest continu-
Gus service of any man in the
history Of Morrow County. Dur
ing this time | have always en-
deavored to be an efficient and
obliging servant of the people,
and I feel that they have shown
their appreciation of my endeav-
ors by re-electing me four sue
cessive terms.
believe that a word of en-
dorsement from me in behalf of
Mr.. A. M. Mallory, who has an
nounced himself a candidate for
nomination to the Office of Coun-
ty Clerk by the Republican party,
would not be amiss. During the
three years which Mr.. Mallory
has served as deputy County
Clerk, | have found him to be
efficient and faithful in his work,
strictly honest, courteous and
obliging to all patrons of the
office. 1t is my opinion that the
people of Morrow County will
make a mistake if they do not
give Mr.. Mallory a term as Coun-
ty Clerk, for he is thoroughly IA
miliar with the work and the law
affecting the various departments
of the office.
Again thanking you for the
many honors conferred upon me
and assuring you of my high ap.
probation of the same, | am,
Very respectfully
