than Bonner county. and continual
ton of their services will be a COM
plete guarantee of the same satisfac-
tory management in the future. Robt.
S. McCrea is familiar with every de-
tail of the work of his offices, and the
most critical examination of them
from the beginning of his administra-
ton to the present time, will amply
bear out this statement. He is we'll
versed with the law directing how his
work shall be done, and with the help
of his efficient deputy force every
thing moves along with system,
promptness and accuracy. Every one
who has dealings with the present
clerk of court is his friend, and the
large vote he received at the recent
primary, indicates the estimation in
which he is held by his constituents
and is a forerunner of his certain cleo
ton in November.
w. w. VonCanon has had previous
experience as assessor and deputy
assessor of this county and no man
in the county is so thoroughly familiar
with the work pertaining to his office
: than himself. His duties require a
high degree of familiarity with relative
values of real and personal property
ability to select competent help. and
close attention to his work The peo-
pie know without any question that
| w. w. VonCanon will do only what his
| judgment and conscience tells him is
| fair, just and right. D'he assessment
of property equitably and honestly,
fair to rich and poor alike is of vital
necessity, and an investigation of the
work of Mr.. VonCanon's office will
convince the taxpayers that their in
terests have been scrupulously regarded
and that the affairs of his office have
| been handled with honesty and good
service to the people.
Andrew Christensen, county treas
urer, is so well and favorably known
that it is but repeating what every
one knows to say that he is a COM
petent and trustworthy official. No
criticism OF him comes from any
source, every taxpayer knowing that
as long as Andrew Christensen has
charge Of the public funds, every cent
will be properly accounted for, and the
| affairs OF his office be conducted with
| credit to himself and the county. Mr..
| Christensen is not only an efficient
| official, but is also a public spirited,
broad guaged citizen, and is ever
ready with personal service and his
private funds to advance the legiti-
mate interests OF Bonner county.
]. w. Ramsey is asking reelection
as superintendent of schools. There
is no reason why this office should be
made the football of politics, and a
competent officials tenure be depend
| ent on his skill as a vote getter. A
school superintendent should be one
who is thoroughly trained and pre-
pared for his work, has a genuine
| sympathy for the efforts of pupils in
| getting an education, has character
worthy of imitation, and his length OF
| term should certainly not depend on
| the uncertainties of politics. j. w
Ramsey fully measures up to the re-
| quirements of superintendent, and il
is gratifying to note that he is receiv-
ing offers of loyal support from al
| classes and all parties. He knows
from actual experience the hardships
of carving a home out of the virgin
forest, educating a family of three
| girls and one boy, and meeting the
care and responsibilities of the heaC
OF a household. He has not only done
this in a creditable way, but has al.
ways stood ready to contribute t
worthy objects, and has taken ad
vanced stands on questions affecting
the morality and best interests of tn,
people. BY keeping Mr.. Ramsey a
the head of the public school system
the people will be giving deserved
recognition to a worthy man, and a
the same time be assured that thei
children's welfare will be also wei
cared for.
Closely associated in the nature o
their work are the officers of probat
Judge, sheriff and county attorney. r
f. Wood is now serving his first tern
and is asking the usual recognition o
a successful administration in bein
given second term. He is a col
lege and university graduate, has bee
a successful superintendent of schools
and is well equipped in mind an
character for the important work Q
! his office.
