GOT A MONTH
TOSIZE EN- UP
No Dearth of Candidates
This Year-36 File for
County Office

Thirty-six candidates are in the
field this fall from this county,
seeking preferrment. Since the
Legislature increased the pay in
several of the offices thru a con-
solidation, the county jobs are a
little more desirable. Filings for
the offices of clerk, treasurer and
school superintendent are the most
numerous.
Apparently the office of clerk,
with which will be combined the
duties of the auditor, is the most
desirable, five filings having been
received for that office. Auditor
E. o. Keene, who has filed for the
combined office has E. C. Howard,
Louis p. Kelley and E. o. Rice,
all of Prosser, opposing him in
the republican primaries. B. w.
Wagner will be the democratic
nominee for the primary winner
to oppose in the general election.
The school superintendent's Of
flee has four candidates on the re-
publican ticket and no democratic
nominee. Olaf Strandwold, of Pros
ser has three women in the race
against him, Lula M. Johnson Of
Finley, May Weir of Hover and
Iowa M. Crawford of Prosser. This
race ought to be pretty one.
The present county treasurer,
Malcolm McDougal, will be the
democratic nominee, running
against Harry Forsyth, present as
SCISSOR, or d. G. Rodgers, of Ken
newick who have filed on the re-
publican ticket. This contest prom
ises to become interesting, both
in the primaries and the general
election. Mr.. Forsyth has, thru his
position during the past term,
formed an extensive acquaintance
thruout the county. Mr.. Rodgers,
on the other hand, has been promi--
nent in civic enterprises and is
equally well known. The winner
in the republican primary will then
have Mr.. McDougal to beat. Mr..
McDougal has the edge on both
his republican opponents, in that
his record in the treasurer's office
will be a strong recommendation
to the voters of the county.
Geo. Beardsley will be opposed
in the primaries by C. w. Fristoe.
G. w. Hamilton, of Prosser has
filed on the democratic ticket. Mr..
Beardsley is the present county at
torney and it looks from here as.
tho this contest would be decidedly
one-sided with everything in his
favor.
Commissioner McNulty of the
middle district, did not file for re-
election. Ira c. Hawley has filed
on the republican ticket, A. e.
Whan on the democratic and S. M.
Briscoe on the Progressive. This
leaves no contest in the primaries
for this position, all three to fight
it out in the general election only.

GOOD INDIAN

The skeleton Of an Indian was
dug up this morning by Coroner
|. N. Mueller. Campers down near
the railroad bridge uncovered the
skull and notified the police. fear
ing foul play of some sort. Upon
exhuming the bones it was discov-
cred to be the remains of an In
dian.
Arrow heads, pieces of flint and
a stone pipe were found which
would indicate that it was an In
dian, as would also the shape Of
the skull. The skeleton is complete.
according to Mr.. Mueller.
