tribunal that evidence, but likewise
brought with 1t the party at whom the
evidence pointed the finger OF guilt.
Crimes will always be committed as
long as the world goes around IL
they could be stamped out once and
for all there would be no need OF
the election of a sheriff thereafter, but
Enslow enjoys the reputation OF keep
ing crime at a minimum, whic his all
that a be hoped for in the course OF
human events.
John o. McKernan, recorder and
auditor, emhpdies all the qualifications
that could be desired for the proper
fulfllmen of that important Office. he
has been i'm charge of the records and
accounts of the county for six years.
during all of which time his Office
has not only been open TO the public
every minute of the time assigned TO
office duty, but he has been ready and
willing at the call of any interested
party at any hour of the day or night.
On two separate occasions he was
elected without opposition. His sys-
tenn of keeping accounts and the
recordation of documents which affect
all property. whether it be easily de-
scribed real estate or mining claims
as located in a crude way by the
%prospector, is perfection in itself. He
enjoys an excellent reputation, n
having lived in this county all his life
is known to all as a young man with
out a blemish either in public or pri-
yate life. He has so efficiently con-
Quoted his office that any citizen may
walk in at any time and be assured OF
courteous treatment as well as place
his finger upon any desired record
without the delay of a moment. Were
such service rendered to a private
concern it would be considered in
valuable and no consideration would
be sufficient to warrant the removal of
such an employee. The same will
doubtless hold good with the public
III selecting a man to conduct that
branch of business for them as a
whole.
J. +. Miles is o well known as
county assessor of White Pine county
to need even draw the attention of the
voters to his qualification. The of
flee is one that requires an intimate
knowledge of all kinds and character
of property as well as the peculiar
facts and conditions surrounding each
individual piece of property in order
that 1t may be placed at a proper yalu-
alton whereby 1t will share its just
part of the expense of county govern
ment and no more. That valuation
must likewise be placed by a nan who
will allow no other consideration than
that of equal justice to enter into his
calculations when levying the assess
ment. In all this ST Miles measures
up to the job from every angle. He
has lived in the county all his life and
ii is said of him that he not only
knows all the people and their joys
and comforts, but likewise knows the
pedigree of the horses, the cattle and
the sheep. He is conscientious al
most to a fault. He deyotes his en-
tire time and attention to the duties
of the office. and is always ready and
to listen to all sides of a ques-
ton, after which he applies the facts
to the East with general satisfaction.
No human being is perfect, but II 81
Miles makes a slight error ii can be
said without any investigation
that it was an honest mistake which
he will correct the moment his atten-
ton is called to it. His experience
keeps these small mistakes down to
absolute minimum, and the condutc
of his Office during his incimbency is
su ..cient warrant that the people will
not lose such a valuable officer.
Speaking of county clerks there Is
only one and naturally he is a demo-
crat. Thename of Fred Oldfeld stands
for all that is right. He will he elected
without opposition, and this is refresh
ing In the heat of a political cam
paign. During the years that Fred
Oldfeld has been county eicIk il can
be said of him that no one ever had
any just cause Of ..mp,aiut either as
to the conduct of his o.. ce O: as a
man. During his service he has ac-
CURED a knowledge of affairs which
make him one oil the most yalu lrle
iucn in tEs cunt, government. All
matters pertaining to homestead right
and desert land entries in the t"st
instance pass through his hands and
with mis- knowledge of the laws with
which such matters are governed IL
has lecome almost indispensable IIi
