FOR COUNTY coMM1ss1o NeR.

FON COUNTY COMMISSIO EER.
For this Office politics cuts, or should
cut, but little figure. What is want.
ed Is good sensible level-headcd,
business man; to judge the fitness of
a candidate, look at the manner and
success with which the candidate car.
ries on his own business. Judp.
Ing by this criterion we have only to
mention to the people Of Neche, St.
Joseph and Walhalla the name Of J.
d. Gordon. They oil know him, and
they know that the same character.
istics which have carried Mr.. Gordon
from a start of almost nothing, to his
present status of one of the most sue.
cessful farmers and stack.breeders of
the county, are Just the character
istics needed 10 running the affairs of
the county. Mr.. Gordon will be the
next commissioner from his district
and Will make q good successor to the
present efficient commissioner. Mr.
Donovan.

1t is certainly not wild estimate
that in the county that Pcmbina
should receive at least 1000 votes for
the county seat, for that is only about
three times her own vote. On the
same basis Neche should have about
cog and Hamilton 100; together these
would be 1000. Now IL Cavalier
should, In spite Of this small esti-
Mate, SIN get two.thlrds Of the total
vote, which means 1920 votes for
Cavalier alone. what would become
of the question lately raised as to
whether petition Of 2,loo IL two.
thirds Of all the voters in the county?

FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

When q man is selected for the
purpose Of handling and caring for
the county cash, 1t is reasonable, 1t
is sensible, to select u man whose
character for honesty, and business
qualifications, arc such that there
can be no question, that the funds
Of the county are not oNly secured by
a bond, (Which may prove worthless
from legal techincalit!cs,) but made
absolutely safe by that best OF all
securities, the known character of the
man who handles the funds. In the
collection and disbursement Of the
taxes Of SO large a county as this, not
only must the treasurer be absolutely
honest. but he must have had the
clerical education necessary to good
book-keeper, he must have the judy
mont OF q man trained IN business
matters, and used to handling and
caring for large sums Of money. There
are thousands of honest men who
would make very poor county treas
urers. There are hundreds Of book
keepers who possess but few other
qualification for such an office. There
are many successful business men who
would not succeed In keeping the
complicated questions arising in tax
business straight.
In presenting the namc Of II. n
Joy Of Hamilton the republicans have
nominated man whose name alone
is sufficient guarantee for the pro
per fulfillment of all the duties Of the
Office of county treasurer. Mr.. Joy ha.
for many years been IL hardware mer
chant ut Hamilton. His business re
putation is unsullicd, his word Is a.
good US his signature, and democrat
or independent who knows him viii
acknowledge that ii "lIarry" Joy Of
Hamilton is elected treasurer, that thu
funds of this county will be collected
disbursed and accounted for at due
and proper seasons and in a business
like manner.
In his reputation us a public spirit,
ed citizen, as township, village and
scEool-district officer In various capa'
cities, business ability. his clericsl
and in all that goes to make up q
character in which people have
thorough confidence, Harry Joy Of
Hamilton fills the bill. Vote for H
N. Joy. for county treasurer.

BY the casual reader. hvs. We hnBs On

perhaps for thai reason is led into al

erroneous statements.
The statement is made In the arti

such statements made of a man whit

who know him.
Every eestiaed jnstrumept bearing
the seal Of the register, except alb
stract work which is specially excepted
by law, is paid for and the fees turned
into the county.
In the abstract business which the
law Says the register 'may" do, but
also says that any other person 'smay''
do who will put up bond, there are
good reasons for the register pre-:
ferrlng it should be done by others
First. any person can have access to
the records without fee during bust.
ness hours. Second, the books of the
county are unreliable, without com.
plete search through all the records,
to guarantee a perfect abstract, and
under the decisions Of our court in a
case from this county, the present
register is responsible for the errors
of his predecessors in office. A new
set Of abstract books, costing an i'm.
mcnse sum of money, time and labor,
has been prepared, and an abstract
from these new abstract books (Which
are private property is worth more
than one prepared by the register. AZ

time In the future is run at loss, be-
cause the transfers on the average

Mr.. Anderson and his assistapts

He deposited it in hollow oak tree
in the rear of the building and came
back for another haul. We cut the
tree down and found it to contain more
than bushel basketful Of notions Of
all kinds, filched from the counters,
and in the lot WAS my 500 bill. He
was the most successful shoplifter l
ever knew. We impaneled a mock
court, tried the offender and passed
sentence Of death upon him. But it
was never executed. Whether he
understood the sentence or simply re-
allied that his occupation was gone
do not know, but with loud croak he
flew away, and we never saw him
again."

LUMBER AND NUMBERING.

The following items relating to the
lumber industry in this state, are Ia
ken from the February number of the
Puget Sound Lumberman:
The foreign cargo movement OF Pu-
get Sound during January footed up
2,57O, GA feet of lumber and 1850, O,l5O
lath.
The haywood Shingle Co., of May
wood, cut 24,6S4,OOO shingles in 2lS
days during 1898. averaging 112,77O
per day with two hand machines.
G. B. Keene, foreman OF Youker &
Dinsmore's shingle mill at Prairie, cut
100000 shingles in six days of ten
hours each two weeks ago on q Chal-
loner double block machine.
T. B. Hite, of Seattle, is adding Q
new feature to his saw works-that OF
. drop forge for making saw bits and
teeth. His is the only plant OF the
kind in the Pacific northwest. It is
probable that from $4,000 to 100000
saw bits and teeth are used up every
month in the big circulars OF western
Washington alone. Heretofore all
these goods have been made in the
east and shipped to the coast.
Simpsons camps (P. S. & g. H. r.
R. produced in 1893, 100000 feet
of logs; placing an average value OF
$3.50 per NJ, would aggregate about
$25O,OOO. In 1892, 3S,OOO,OOO feet,
valued at $247,OOO. Placing an aver
age value of $3.50 per thousand feet is
conservative, because a good proper
tion of the product consists of spars
and long timber, rating $40 and up
wards per thousand feet; good No. l
logs $3.50 10 Sc per NJ.
The broom.handle factory at Fair
haven, is turning out 1900 handles per
day. Various kinds of wood have been
experimental with. OF which alder is
considered much the best for the pur-
pose, being light, strong and easily
worked. The plant is soon to be in
creased by the addition of an auto.
matte lathe, capable of turning out 6,
600 handles per day, which ought to
bring $l2 to $l4 per thousand at the
broom factories in Seattle, Spokane
and Walla Walla.

WHAT is A CUCkOO2
An Explanation Given Of Its Der
ivation.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
A correspondent, who is evidently
not regular reader Of the newspap-
ers, sends us an inquiry which he
trusts we will lose no time in answer
ing. "What is a cuckoo?" he asks.
He sees in the newspapers that the
cuckoos" are doing thus and so, and
he wants to get at the secret of the al
lusion so that he may be able to read
the news of the day with an open
mind.
We have not the heart to resist our
correspondence appeal. His question
is pertinent one, and we shall strive
to make the answer plain.
The political cuckoo is not . new
bird in our history, but during the
last twelve months the breed has
spread and grown very rapidly. He is
not as numerous as the English spar
rows, but far more dangerous to the
fruits that grow in the political garden.
Attention was first called to the
breed by Senator Morgan, OF Alabama,
the wise old man who knows a hawk
from handsaw.
"When the White house clock
Strikes" said Senator Morgan one day
last summer, eve know that the
cuckoos will come forth and call the
hour" And it was even 90, for when.
ever the clock struck the cuckoos
were on hand and their melancholy
cry could be heard.
A cuckoo is political bird that ruff
files his feathers only when the clock
strikes. He may bow to the buzz
wheels inside the clock but he fully
believes that the pendulum is the
motive power OF the machinery, and
he makes his lowest bow to that. Ac-
cording to his view, It Is absurd to
suppose that the little wheels inside
the clock should move and control
such q big and heavy affair as the
pendulum. Consequently, while he
has certain respect for the little buzz
wheels, he is far more deeply i'm.
pressed with the power of the pendu-
lum.
Your true political cuckoo is for the
people when he is at home, and
against them when he goes to WASH
ington. He is for the Democratic
platform until the time comes to vote,
and then he is the mouthpiece and
echo of the doorkeeper of the patron
age trough. If the cuckoo can get to
the trough by repudiating the Demo-
cratic platform and betraying the in
terests of his constituents, he is viii.
ling and eager to do so. We have had
abundant evidence OF this fact during
the past twelve months.

Amende Honorable.


Amende Honorable.
New York Herald.
Almost anybody can find it in his
heart to forgive the sudden passion
which emphasizes error when it is
followed by graceful acknowledgment
and reparation. l was thinking OF
this as friend told me a story Of
Senator Butler, of South Carolina.
The Senator was at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. He came down from break
fast one morning and went into the
barber shop for shave. When he
had been duly polished up he reached
for his hat, dropped his usual liberal
tip to Boots" and went away. But
he returned Immediately hat in hand.
"Look here, boy" said he, "this is
not my hiatt"
The young colored man came for
ward and looked at him. "Its the
same hat you brought down, sir" he
said.
Impossible" exclaimed the Senator,
growing redder than usual. al have
got somebody else's hat and somebody
else has got mine."
81 am positive, sir, that is the same
hat you brought in, anyhow" persisted
the colored boy.
al say it is not" thundered the
stalwart Southerner-and raising his
cane threateningly he took step for
ward" and if you say that again I'll
brain you"
The barber who had shaved the
Senator now came forward, and in a
pacific tone interfered. Run up
stairs" said he to the boy, "and have
the man at the dining room door
examine the rack-there is a mistake
somewhere. Please sit down, Senator
hell be back in a minute" And
sure enough back he did come, and
bringing the Senator's hat with him,
too. The latter had picked another
mans hat from the rack himself and
hadn't noticed the mistake.
at is my mistake" said he, with a
graceful inclination OF the body and
turning to the lad whom he had but
a:moment before threatened. and 1
humbly beg your pardon"
But the colored lad WAS more en-
barrassed under the polite apology Of
the noble South Carolinian than he
had been under the threat OF unjust
punishment.

The derelict schooner Fannie E.

record of drifting lumber carriers on
October Is, 1891, and thus has been
two years and nearly four months
atioat, was passed again on Thursday
by the steamship Premier. which ar.
rived in New York Monday, about $50
miles of the Florida coast.
She was within about 4SO miles OF
the place where she was abandoned
after q sharp conflict with a cyclone,
off the Virginia capes. Unless she is
destroyed, she will, doubtless, under
the influence Of the Gulf Stream, drift
up TO the very spot where she started

was seen in on January IL. The

The number of religious sects en-
tered by the register general at Somer-
set House in 1873 as having places ol
worship in England was 125. In
twenty years they have more than
doubled, the number last year being
27O.
The increased cultivation of the
poppy in various parts of Europe has
it is said, led to a marked growth in
the percentage of opium contained in
honey, the properties of which are
much influenced by the flowers from
which the bees gather it.
Although Jupiter is 1900 times as
large as the earth, it is only BIG times
as heavy. In order to become as solid
as the earth it must condense TO one
quarter of its present siza. Such a
process of condensation is now going
on, scientists say.
A St. Petersburg editor has hit upon
the notion of printing his journal on
paper suitable for making cigarettes.
1t is said that its circulation has been
greatly increased by this means, as
the Russians are largely given to smok-
ing cigarettes, which they make them
selves.
The tallest company OF soldiers in

the priest on her fourth toe.

A REVISION OF RATES
INCREASE MADE IN TARIFF ON
LUMBER.
The New TranScontinental Tariff
Increases the Rates From I.2 TO
Cents n Hundred.

Inc new Tf0nScOnt1nental Tariff
Increases the Rates From I.2 TO
Cents n Hundred.
The revised tariff rates on lumber
and shingles, which will go into ef-
feet March 10th on the Northern Pa.
cific and Great Northern railroads,
have just been received. The new
tariff increases the rates q to 5 cents
q hundred on shingles, lumber, logs,
fence posts, tank material, ETC., in
straight or mixed carloads. Minimum
on shingles will be 10000 pounds and
on lumber $4,000 pounds. The rates
do not apply on points on the main
transcontinental lines, those remain
ing the same as in the old tariff. 1t is
to points on connecting lines that
have been affected. The rates to Mis-
souri, river points covered by published
tariff as above will be raised from 57t
to 60 cents.
To Mississippi river and Chicago
common points covered by the tariff
above, the new figures will be as fol-
lows: To points north of Boards
town, Ill.,, and Peoria, including Chi
cago, the rate will be GO cents. To
points south OF Burlington and Boards
town on the ST. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern and the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy, the rate will be 52t
cents.
The rates east of Beardstown, Peor-
ia, Warsaw and st. Louis, to which
the 60-cent rate has heretofore ap-
piled, will be obtained by adding to
the rate named to these points, 60 and
62t cents, the local proportioned rates
beyond.
There will be no changes in rates
to St. Paul, Duluth, Minnesota trans
fer and intermediate points on the
Northern Pacific. The minimum on
shingles will be 10000 pounds and
lumber $4,000. There will be no
change in the rates on fir lumber ex-
cept where the rate on that commod-
ity IL the same as on shingles, in which
case the rate on fir lumber will be ad-
vanced the same as on shingles, but
the rate of so cents to Chicago, Oma-
ha and Council Bluffs will remain as
at present.
