AS Mr.. Fogarty Sees It.

To the Voters of Lincoln County:
l am the Democratic nominee for
County Commissioner. have endeav-
ored to see every voter in the county,
but find it impossible in such short
space of time
If you elect me | promise TO serve
you in clean business way. believe
partisan politics should have no place
in our County Court, | believe in a
fair and equitable valuation of all prop
eriy at its cash value. This will give US
low levy and will look good to people
seeking homes among us. The County
Court should comply with the law and
make full levy for our schools, The
Judge and Commissioners should be
under bonds to comply with all laws
relating to their offices. The people
should take intelligent action with re-
gard 10 urcounty Indebtedness. They
say they are paying it off, but | refer
you to the levies of each year since
l9UO, ana ask you how are they paying
it? Is it by economy, or by putting
their hands in your pockets?
am in favor OF funding our present
debt l think it can be done at per
cent. We are now paying per cent.
This will practically put us on cash
basis. This done we can turn our at
tention to our roads; they are sadly
needing it,
The present method of paying off our
debt means high taxes, bad roads,
illegal school levies, and the same old
debt still.
Voters of Lincoln county, l ask you
to use your best Judgment on election
day, and vote for your interests in
county affairs, regardless of politics.

was well received. The speaker dealt
principally with leading incidents and
battles OF the civil ware
Dr. Rowland OF Portland, presiding
elder of the NJ. +. church, was called
upon by the chairman, Captain Stur-
deyant, and he responded with brief
but eloquent and patriotic talk, devoted
principally to the danger which
threatens our country from the lower
class of European immigrants.
The closing event OF the day was the
always beautiful ceremony Tor the
sailor dead at the city wharf, conducted
by the Woman 5 Relief Corps.
The floral decorations in the Court
house were beautiful, emphasizing
again the laudable interest which the
members OF the Relief Corps and friends
in and around Toledo take in the day

Editor LEADER:
The Reporter started out as an indie
pendent paper, but close observer
could see it was sailing under false
colors, and that the ears OF the Demo-
cratic mule were ALWAYS sticking out
from under the false cover, showing
just what kind OF an animal it was-you
could not be mistaken, The editor of
the Reporter is IA dyed-in-the-woo
Democrat, and he could not be any
thing else 1t would be just as impos-
sible for him to change his politics as
it would be for leopard to change its
spots so, when he talks about there
being no politics in the election this
year, it can be taken with large
measure of salt. This play is made
only TO get Republicans to help put
Democrats into office, but think the
scheme will fail, rs this isa Republican
year and all Republicans should feel
Il personal interest in voting for the
ticket, both county and state, and thus
keep Oregon iu the Republican column.
The Newport News is also about
three fourths Democrat and one fourth
Republican. This cayuse way is bad;
it ought to be one thing or the other-a
Democrat or Republican paper. do

move that we retire to some secluded
spot, ds the candidates wanted to ex-
plain matters to us Artisan Hall was
selected. Chairman Morrison called
the meeting to order and called on the
editor OF the Reporter as orator of tho
day.
The speaker recited to us the different
articles that haye been published in
the Reporter with few explanations.
lie told us of 4 ''ring" and Boss Ross
But we cannot understand how Boss
Ross could be the diamond" in ring
by the direct primary. We presume it
is as the speaker said-before the mud
got into his mouth-that Ross IS per-
feet in his duties TO the office and the
people, and by the help of his daugh-
tera, keeps faultless office; and the
public wants that kind of an officer.
lhe speaker Said Ross had no political
pellet, ana never expressed himself,

that such instruction is in contemplu-

taking proofs in your Office for the
months of July, August and Septem

Does this indicate that Ira Wade is
not in good standing with the land
office officials? Look over the county
papers and note. the proofs that have
been made in his office during the past
year and right up to date. 1t is not
necessary to say more on this subject.

Dickinson Fire and Pressed
Brick Co. increases Its
Output so Per Cent.

The sales of the Dickinson Fire &
Pressed Brick Co. for the year 1905 were
100000 brick. Their sales for the year
1904 were ~1,667,ooo, showing an increase
of 80 per cent. This means much for the
city of Dickinson. A manufacturing in
dustry growing with such rapidity indi-
Gates unusual merit, and means that the
company will be forced to Immediately
invest more money in their plant to in
crease their. output, in order to meet the
demands for their materials.
For labor alone they have paid during
the past year $4,000. This, together
with fuel and other supplies purchased
here, amour to aSnet sum Of about
$4,000 for the year ending Jan. Ist. The
fact that the company shipped 80 per
cent of its output means that nearly all
Of the money,they spent here is a net
gain for the city which it would not have
gotten if it were not for this industry.
Among some of the most notable
buildings for which this company has
furnished the brick might be mentioned

Dickinson j. S. Land Office.
More Government Land Untaken- in This District Than
Anywhere Else in the State. The Local Land Office a
Reliable Information Bureau for Prospective Settlers.

The Dickinson land office, created
July 1, 1904, has an area of 6,267,62o
acres extending north from Dickinson 20
miles. the boundary line being the 18th
standard parallel between ranges I4S and
I4o; south to the South Dakota line; east
to Morton county, and west to the Mon
tana line. Within this district is the
largest area of free lands t. be found in
the state and the largest area of really
good free government land untaken in
the United States. The closing of the
Grand Forks land office because the land
has passed to private ownership, and the
rapidly diminishing area of untaken land
in all the districts, marks the passing Of
the free homestead 1t will soon be a
thing Of the past.
OF the total area in the Dickinson dis
trict, 2,772,o33 acres have been appro-
priated up to date and 4I6,25o acres in
the Cherry creek section 50 miles north
west of Dickinson have been reserved
for irrigation purposes, leaving ~3,o78,42S
acres. Of this I.8o3,S57 are surveyed
and still unappropriated, or subject to
entry, which wouldgive a quarter section
home to l1,274 persons. The remaining
1,774,571 acres is as yet not open for
entry.
The Dickinson land office receives
hundreds Of inquiries each week-more
this winter than ever before-indicating
that when spring opens there will be a
great influx of new settlers. A circular
giving all sorts of desired information
has been prepared and all inquiries are
carefully answered.
The business of the Dickinson land
Office during the eighteen months since
its establishment has been very satisfac-
tory. There have been 2,416 homestead
filings, go reservoir filings (water claims)
and two entries under the timber and
stone act; 13o Communication proofs have
been made and as homestead proofs;
2o5 contests have been instituted-the
greater part in the last three months.
