ditions continued until the election
of 1909, when the republicans we're
successful in again gaining control
Of the county. They went into office
in January, 1908, and that year a
raise in your taxes took place,
amounting to about 25 per cent. You
who paid taxes last fall will remem-
Der this and we want to tell you that
when you pay this year you will have
another advance to settle. The
county indebtedness has increased to
such an extent that investors do not
now consider warrants good at more
than 95 cents on the dollar, II this
thing continues how long will 1t be
before old conditions again prevail?
The people have the remedy IN their
own hands and can check the evil II
they wish.

completion might have a tendency to
draw trade to that city. Results
prove the contrary and it is no" evil
dent that the increase of business to
Occur d'Aleue as a result OF the com
pletion and operation Of the line Is
more than the loss from people going
to Spokane to trade In fact this
city will get more Spokane money
than is spent by our citizens in that
city. In this connection we are led
to believe that the home people are
buying more at home aud sending less
money away than ever before. This
Is a COED sign and 50 long as the
home merchants deal fairly and sell
goods at reasonable profit it is the
duty Of every person who makes a
living in the community to patrunize
the home stores. On most Of the
orders given to mail order house
the purchaser is fooled. Their low
prices mean inferior goods and every
dollar that is sent away means loss
Of that much to the community.

hatreds, vices and virtues of the
human race" He employs a vo-
cabulary of fifteen thousand words,
three times more than the ordinary

word in the right place. They form
an encyclopedia of human life-all
that lies hidden ia the human heart.
