The knowledge that he has q cap
able force Of assistants, and his
appointments seem to receive COM
mendation from people of all po-
litical parties.
Mr.. Sansburn, retiring auditor,
during his four years. tenure of
the office has gained the record
for making the most money for
the county out Of the office. His
first deputy, r. L. Stonehouse,
will become deputy assessor, and
his second deputy, George Walsh,
will take up other lines Of work.

w. H. Butler will succeed l.. c..
Richardson as county clerk. Mr..
Butler stated to the editor of the
Examiner Wednesday that he
"could not tell" who his deputy
would be, and the various rumors
fail to give anything definite. It
had been claimed that Bliss Phil
lips had been promised the dep
utyship, but it is also said that
Mr. Butler desired to keep the
money in the family by having
his daughter take the place. From
inquiries among some republican
politicians it is learned that some
difficulty was encountered by Mr..
Butler in picking a deputy either
from the progressive or the stand
pat wing of the republican party,
and it may be that Mr.. Butler has
not yet been able to agree upon a
deputy who will prove acceptable
10 all hands.

llfour years of service as clerk with

was of real service to the county
in eXpediting court matters.
