There Ia another Jim on the re-

SCISSOR. Mr.. Dunn is serving his sec

dence that he made q good record
during his first term. Il ia only nsees-
sary to refer to the fact that he was
reelected two years ago by the hand
some majority Of 73D. which Ii about
the best Endorsement that he could
expect from the taxpayers Of the
county. We do not claim that Jim"
has pleased everybody In fixing yalu-
attOns. for no living man could do
that. but we venture the assertion
that he has come just little bii
nearer giving every man a square
deal than any assessor Bear Lake
county has ever had. And Jim IA 20
