campaign. Thirty-two signed an
agreement onot support the Popu
list county ticket but to support the
state fusion. ticket. Each one pledged
themselves to work in the interest of
this agreement among the other DEM
ocrats in the county. Failure OF the
Populists to recognize them in their
ticket seems,to have been the cause
for this agreement. The, Ritzville
Democratic club was organized at
this meeting. d. H. Harrison was
elected president and R. H. Lee Sec
rotary.
The Oregon penitentiary has been
in the stove business for several years
and are trying to introduce their
goods by every possible means. Re-
member their goods are made by con-
Wet labor and principally of old scrap
iron. ANY stove or range without
brand or name or place of manufac-
ture is very probably the work of con-
vict labor. The Bauer-Bier Co., OF
our city, sell nothing but high grade
stoves and ranges, made of new iron
and aluminium mixed, the latest inl-
proved method for, making durable

wheat comes on. III it continues to
pour in as it has done for some time
many Thousand bushels will be spoil
ed rs soon as the rainy season sets in.
If the farmers can hold their grain we
predict it would he advisable and pro-
fitable to do so.
An awful opening, resembling the
longitudinal orifice between the ether

smile in the maxilary region of a
county candidate. All of which was
Il striking reminder that election is
near at hand.
The town council few weeks ago
