IN 0KANOCAn

The Conconully Record has entered
uDon an active campaign for cleo
tricity in Okanogan county. 1t advo-
Gates the building and operating OF
an electric railway to connect the sew
eral agricultural and mining districts
with the county seat. 1t announces
that the citizens of COnconully have
subscribed S46,S00 for capital stock
in the proposed line of transporta-
ton. That work has been followed
by the little town of Omak, which
has a fund of SIS, 900 raised for the
purpose of adding to the capital re-
quired to build and equip the road.
Two other important towns, Riverside
and Loomis, are yet to be heard from
on the proposition. Then the far
mers and miners will be asked to in
crease the subscription.
Okanogan county has many possi-
bilities that might be developed by
modern transportation facilities. One
of the strongest arguments against
new settlers going into the country
is the story of isolation. 1t has no
railroads, and the freighting condi-
tions are somewhat primitive. That
makes high prices for all commodi-
ties. The Record shows that by the
construction of an electric road such
necessities as lumber and wood may
be delivered, in different sections, for
much less than at present. That ap-
plies with equal force to the output
from the farms and mines. Every
means for cheapening transportation
and facilitating shipments should be
utilized to the best possible advan-
tage
The farmers of Okanogan should
cooperate in every effort for getting
commercial electricity. 1t could be
used in transportation of products

CALL THE
STRIKE Off

Spokane, Dec. 1O.-Robert ]. Mar
tin of Minneapolis, where he is pres
ident of the Trades and Labor as
sembly and general chairman of the
board of adjustments of the Switch
mems Union of North America, said
on his arrival that, owing to the fl
nancial furry in the east, after an
eight-day session, at which the
switchmen met with representatives
of the various railroad companies,
they temporarily postponed their de-
mands for higher wages. The
switchmen left Minneapolis with the
approval of the railroad companies,
and their action has been commend
ed by the switchmen's organizations.
Mr.. Martin declared that his union
was not defeated in it's demands, but
that it merely postponed action
while the existing financial cOndi-.
tions continue. He says strike OF
the switchmen is not contemplated,
and that such will not be the case,
as. after the financial situation has
resumed its normal condition, the
men will go again before the proper
officials and ask for q readjustment
Of the wage scale.

THE LAW
VIOLATED
Hours as Provided for by
Statute.

1t has just been discovered that
the new election law was violated in
this city at last weeks election in
that the polls were open from 9 a.
m. to p. m. Section 235 of the
sessions laws of 1907 provides that
the polls shall be kept open from
s a. m. to s p. m. This clause was
forgotten and - said to have been
forgotten in most OF the other towns
where elections were held last week.
The best of authority is, however,
that the failure to keep the polls
validate the election.

NAGEL IN
TOWN TODAY
by II. II. Gallagher, a
California Land Man.

J. R. Nagel, general passenger
agent of the o. R. & N. R. R., with
headquarters in Seattle, is in Wenat-
chez today.
! Mr.. Nagel is naturally much inter-
ested in this section of the country
owing to the fact that many people
going east from Central Washington
take the route of the Oregon ShrOt
Line from Spokane. This is espe-
cially true in the winter time, when
many of the lines farther north are
in danger of being snowbound.
Mr.. Nagel was accompanied by H.
r. Gallagher, assistant manager of
the California Butte Valley Land
Company, which is located down
near the Medford country. This is
a new district that is now being open
ed up along the o. r. e n. railroad,
The new country being opened up
is another one of those wonderful
little valleys that are found along
the eastern slope of the Cascade
mountains. Mr.. Gallagher repre-
sents a great colonization project to
fill the entire section of the country
with people.
| From his description of the coun-
try it is probable that this section
will become another region where
intensified farming is carried on at
it's best.
Before leaving he appointed l.. H.
Belser as his local agent.

EXHIBIT
Judges Explain Why Wenatchee's
Display Did Not Take the
Prize.

The Wenatchee delegation to the
convention of the Northwest Horti-
cultural Association at Vancouver,
B. c., last week were at a loss to
know under what conditions the
judges of the fruit exhibition decided
upon the winners. The Wenatchee
exhibit attracted much attention, but
won no prize. In speaking of the
exhibit the Vancouver Province says:
There is one particular display
that is attracting good deal of at
tentiOn, but as no prize is offered it
is fair to make mention of it. There
are two boxes of the variety known
as the Black Ben Davis and one box
Of Rome Beauties. In each box there
are but thirty-six apples. Every ap-
pie is in perfect condition, and, al
though of abnormal growth, seems
we'll colored A. J. Linville, Harry
Shotwell and B. M. Chapman of We
natchee are in charge of this exhibit,
as well as those of the Commercial
Club of their home city. Standing
out among the display of apples and
other fruits the Washington men
have large South Side Beauty po-
tato, weighing six and half pounds. y
To ascertain for future benefit why
the prize was not awarded to the We
natchee exhibit, the local delegation
asked the judges for statement, and
received the following explanation:

new TOWN

Information is received that the
laying out of new town IS pro-
nosed on the west bank of the Co
lumbia river just below the mouth
of the Methow. This is near Pate
ros, an old-established place, but it
is claimed for the proposed town
that it would have certain advan-
tages of location not possessed by
the older village. However that may
be, the fact that the Methow coun-
try is so steadily and rapidly devel-
oping as to give encouragement to
new townsite proposals is mighty
gratifying. The new irrigation pro-
ject in that district, recently report
ed in the World, is also a good omen.
