Hottest^Contest "in lYeairsr yi«Br';Kesu'rt
Largely   in  Favor  of   the
Democrats.    „
^ot for. a decade - has Clare seen
sli,ch a fiercely fought political bat;
tie ag took place on Monday. Indeed, the contest was hot .confined
to one day, hut was on the boards
for' several days previous. __Aided
by politicians of well known ability,
air. Doherty contested every inch
of the ground, and the friends of
Mr. Lacy likewise exerted their utmost efforts to bring about a success.' Happily but little bad blood
results from the race, and it is probable that many years will elapse before another such a struggle will be
enacted.iu Clare. Theflssues were
clearly drawn, and upon them each
candidate went to the people. The
result i s sufficiently deci sive to warrant every fair minded citized in be-,
lieving that the minds of the voters
have been fairly spoken. »
The. Courier does'not exhibit :its
,D.emopratio:^pultr_^
causer* ifo: Democratic - victory lias
been won. • The Issues entering into
the contest were either those upon
which the. Democrats and a large
I number of Republicans agree", or
those of a purely local nature, and
upon which a political battle could
not haye been waged. We have repeatedly contended that > the voters
of this city desire the selection of,
their Officers from the people rather
than from party, and the result demonstrates that the Democratic ticket, viewed." from a non-political
standpoint, was regarded as a Citizens ticket. Clare is a Republican
city, and though every effort was
made to compel Bepublicans to
stand by party first, they utterly refused. ' *'
■■■■- Tha result portends; well lor; the
city's future.. The voters have declared in nojiincertain tones that
they love Clare"blfOre"party. "It is
confidently hoped that future elections may take on the nature of
Uonpartisanship, and the selections
be made, as they were on Monday,
without reference to the politics of
the candidates. *
Of the officers elected, the mayor,
clerk, treasurer, two supervisors,
one alderman and one constable are
Democrats, while the Republicans
won in the contest, justice of the
peace,. one supervisor, • two aldermen and two constables. The vote
by w*ards is as follows:
• Thelatesir and - probably - correct-
returns upon the Contest for county
commissioner of schools, gives the
.office to Mr. Welch by sixteen votes,
and for the four years beginning
July first that gentleman will have
charge of such schools in the county
as' come under the commissioners
supervision.
-The causes which produced the defeat of Mr, Alcfrlob/ are easily accounted for. Political prejudice
'agianst the'eommissioner wasarous-
ed to the "highest possible pitch.
Every pressure wits'1 brought tp bear
upon. Republicans to bring about
his defeat for no other reason than
that he was the Democratic nominee. In several townships but one
local ticket was in thcfield, and in
consequence a large amount of the
vote which would have been cast
for Mr. Aldrich remained at home.
Though the Count^, contains nearly
nineteen hundred voterp, the successful, candidate received less than
eight hundred, *■■'.-.
In   assuming tlie position  The
sioner-elect fully '^npi'eciates the responsibilities, Ti\e schools' are in
excellent conditio^ brought about
through the constant and*untiring
efforts of the retijtjng commissioner,
and. the people haf e the right to expect that the sam<a, attention will *be
given the multifarious duties that
they have receive^ during the past
five years. The' people of the
county have the pledge of the successful candidate! to give that attention ta his duties, and until be.
fails he should have the cordial support of every school patron.
The vote by townships and wards
will be found in another column,
the figures from Hamilton not being
atliand.

Rlamb Finds  Time to Remember His
__ "OaFc- rriefids'.' •"'   "    >   '-
Tillohiook, Oregon, March 23,1903,
Pbibnb Oanpieiid:
Jfc has been some time since I wrote
you,|bufi the fact is, I went "busted" so I
had to go to. work. I am working in a
m'aciuhe shop here and do not have tuneh
time to write. I am burning midnight
oil (at 30 cents per-gallon) to write this,
and I am afraid that if my landlady was
Bot furnishing it yob, tfould go hungry'
to'hear from me,
ThiB.a town of about 1,000 inhabitants,
has an eighty horse electric light plant,*
two telephones, and something that Clare
cannot boast of—two banks. It has a
fl.n0 water system," tbe water coming from
the mountains, six* miles distant, It is
the gravity ByBtero, has ,170 feet fall and
they could hate one hundred feet more
if they'wanted it. There are six or eight
motors used in town, We use one in the
shop. You can form some-idea of tbe
pressure when I tell you we run the ■ entire machinery in the shop (requiring
about four horse power) s'with a five-
eighths nozzle. All I, hnve to do in the
morning, is to turn on ••■he water, and
'round goes the wheels. I tell yon it
beats, koroBene, gasoline, or benzine, and
is rain water at that.
Well, there is not much of & chance to
lumber here. This county only has a.
bout thirty billion of standing- timber
left. Yoy. will remember cf-tay writing
you concerning a man who sold his ranch
for an enormous price. Well, he had a
sale a short time ago, and sold his stock.
His cows averaged him $55,per head,
some going as high as $79. I belieye
they were some of Clark Sutherland's
breed.- -A^fiiHelf Srer6~"iB~';bBuu5ir Tihan^-a
gold mine. _. "*
" -We are" having some «ery fine weather
here now, but are expeoting rain every
minute.. JE__valked over to Netartz Bay
yesterday,' -took dinner on the ocean
beach, and let the breezes fan my whiskers. It's no fool of a walk, over there,
li miles and 700-feefc up and down again
twice. 1 forgot to tell yop that we have
three newspapers here. I wish you were
here to "rasp" ono of them occasionally.
It is all the time advocating, the idea of
shipping the logs to Astoria' for manu*
faetureJ'iijBtead of manufacturing them
here. Twelve thousand dollars is being
expended. in repairing the Tillamook
mill.' . ■'
I had mountain" trout one 'day last
week, It is against the law. to oatch
them this"time of the year, bnt theydon't
have any law hero; Next month we can
snap them out with a fly.     _    .
I wound up for four pages,, but havo
run down, so will bid you goodly.
? . Yours.-trijly,
