prised to find that the house was

J. C. DIXON OF ELK CITY
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF

At a meeting Of the Republ.-
can County Central Committee
held at the Court House last Fri
day, Chester Dixon of Elk City
made the announcement that he
expected to be a candidate for
the Republican nomination foc
sheriff at the Primary election
next spring. Mr.. Dixon has liv-
ed in this county so long that he
needs no introduction to the vo-
ters. His reputation for honesty
and integrity and his long and
successful career as a business
man, insure to the people of
Lincoln County that he would
make an efficient and capable
officer, and it is with pleasure
thatwe endorse Mr.. Dixon's can
didacy. While 1t is a long while
yet until the primary election,
still it is never too early to get
your hat in the ring. and we be-
lieve that Mr.. Dixon did the
right thing in coming out at this
time. Mr.. Geer, our present
sheriff, has filled this Office most
satisfactorily, and we believe
could have landed again, hands
down. But Bert has decided to
retire and go into private life,
but as yet he has not determined
just what he will take up.

HURRAH FOR
LINCOLN COUNTY,!

This time last year the County
Court told us that if we would
be patient and give them the
road tax to apply to the payment
of the County debt, by the end
of the year 1917 We would be on
a cash basis, for the first time
since the creation of the County
and we are pleased to learn that
through the aid of good people
of Old Lincoln County, the prom
Use has been fulfilled. The rec
ords show that there Is at this
time $5961.80 warrants out
standing and unpaid. The Tax
Rolls show a little better than
$35000.0O delinquent taxes. The
Sheriff informs us that one half
of this amount is good and will
be paid.
We expect much good road
work will be done the following
year as we will have over $780,
000.0O of County tax to apply on
the roads and the Court have
schemes already, which If car
ried out according to their plans
will give us aid from both the
Forest Department and the State
Highway Commission. Now thai
we are out of debt, let us get be.
hind the Court and assist then
in obtaining aid from both State
and Government for the better
ment of our roads, which mean.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING

Tom McNally was over from
the Siletz Monday. Mr.. McNally
reports that A. l.. French the
Taft merchant had a narrow es-
cape from drowning recently. 1t
seems that Mr.. French's boat
went adrift, and he took another
boat and went after it. He
caught it and tied 1t behind the
boat he was rowing, but the tide
was so swift that he was swept
out to the bar where the boat
was capsized in the rough water.
There was no other boat there to
go to his assistance, but he is a
strong swimmer and managed
to get to shore.
