From Annapolis.

Fine weather here but very cold.
High wind for two or three days.
Jasper Lashley, brother of Geo.
w. Lashley, died at his home,
about eight miles south of Annap-
oils, in Reynolds county, Sunday
night. He was a good man and
neighbor.
The tie inspector is here loading
the Ed Summers ties. 1t will take
him three days to finish the job.
Buck Summers is here in the in
terest of Ed. Summers and himself
in the way of ties and lumber. He
tells me they have about two
million feet of switch ties ready to
raft down Black River, some ff-
teen miles above Lesterville.
Last Friday morning S26.27 was
stolen from our post Office. POST
master F. F. Farr suspected a cou-
Pile of boys from the country and
had Squire Kitchell issue a war
rant for their arrest. When the
postmaster found one of the boys,
he told him he had arrested his
chum, who said he had the money.
The boy denied this, said his pard
had taken the money and gave
him So; that they had bought
seven pints of whiskey at Pilot
Knob. Constable Worley was
sent for the other boy, who finally
admitted his guilt. The parents OF
the boys put up the missing mon
ey and the boys were released on
a bond of $3.50 to appear before
Squire Kitchell February 9Th.
John r. Middleton has been all
lowed an increase in pension-S15
per month since March last. Isn't
that a fright? Because of his age,
to say nothing of his disabilities,
he is entitled to $40 a month.
There is a bill now before Con-
gress to raise all widows pensions
to S12 per month. Why don't they
raise them all? There are some
now getting S12 per month who dc
not get a square meal once q year.

From Belleview.

Our merchants appear to be do
ing fairly good business at the
present time, and we are glad to
note this fact.
We were glad to hear of Rev.
j. H Calvert's success in his re-
vival meetings at Ellington. Re-
ligion certainly is at a very low
ebb in many localities, if there is
any tangible reality in what is
presented to us through our optic
and auditory nerves.
We are told that 'a house divid-
ed against itself shall not stand";
many localities are seriously ham
dicapped as to religious condi-
tons, solely, if not wholly, from
this cause.
Miss. Ethel Hawkins, teacher of
the. Thorn Grove school, is now
boarding at Mrs. McColl's.
j. H. Price spent Sunday with
home folks.
DR.. Adams and George Barger
were out hunting Wednesday aft
ernoon, and Judging by their ham
merless shot guns, we presume
they succeeded in bagging a few
ducks, at least.
John Gallaher and son, George,
were in town Wednesday.
W. E. Westerman, of Edge Hill,
was in town last week.
VIM. McClurg went to Bismarck
Wednesday, and bought for w.
E. Bell & son a four-horse load
of flour. They sell a large guam
tity of flour to their customers in
this valley.
John Goggin, our mail carrier,
made a trip to Edge Hill last week,
looking for a favorable opportun-
ity to purchase a couple of horses
to use in carrying the mail. Since
he failed to purchase, we presume
he did not find any horses that ex-
actly suited him.
Mr.. G. informs us that there has
been a great change in the bust
ness and social conditions of that
country in the past eight years
that the telephone has been a great
factor in b~ettering conditions.
Fl. Latham made a trip to Flat
Woods last week to buy a few
head of cattle; he succeeded in

OUR STATE TAXES ARE
ON THE INCREASE
The Best Interests of all Should
Be Carefully Guarded

The following article from the
Spokesman Review is worthy of
more than passing consideration of
farmers. The taxes annually have
become a serious burden to our
farmers and the future under the
present administration of the state s
finance don't encourage any relief
from the burden.
From the levy of 1906, Lincoln
county paid the state Sll5.027. 90,
while the county total S64 7O5.
We know the people are studying
this most vital question and these
figures will assist them i'll selecting
their men at the primaries:
THE claim has been made i'll
some Puget sound newspapers that
the administration of Gov. Mead
has been more efficient and cCOn-
omical in it's business management
of state affairs than that of X-Gov.
Mcbride, which Immediately pre-
coded it. This claim is not borne
out by comparison of the state tax
levies for the respective years.
Gov. Mcbride assumed the dut-
les of the office in January 1902,
upon the death of the late Govern
or Rogers. Having no control
over the legislature of 1901 and no
power to exercise a restraining in
huence upon its appropriations, he
had no responsibility for the tax
levies prior to 1908. He was gov
ernor at the time of the 1908 ses-
sion of the legislature and vetoed
a number of appropriation bills,
thus exercising restraining lnflu-
ence over the appropriations OF

are shy their proportion OF this
enormous wealth. Have they
been lazy; thriftless, or IMPROVE

lazy, then who created the wealth.!
Has the average farmer, mechanic,
salesman, clerk, teacher or laborer
souandered their portion i'll riotous
living? Did they spend it for auto
mobiles, steam yachts, or even tor
diamonds? If not, what has be-
come of it? Why haven they got
it, how did they lose IT. What
has been the unseen, subtle, but
apparently all-powerful force that
has taken it from them? Why
have matters become so appalling
in America that the so-called eilete

that year. In 1908 the amount
levied by the state in direct taxes
for the state general fund was
1902, +71. In 1904 the amount
was $40, ISL. The total for the
two years was 81 ,45S, 622, an aver
age of S7l9,3l1 year.
In 1905, under Governor
Mead 5 administration, the amount
of direct taxes levied for the state
general fund was SS2l,556, i'll 1906
it was 1851, $40 and in 1907 81 49,
2lO, a total for the three years of
8, 49+ 9+5, or an average of ST.
l65, 9Sl year.
From these figures it will be
seen that the first three years of the
Mead administration have cost the
people of the state in direct general
fund taxes an average of approx
imatcly 90 per cent more than the
last two years of the Mcbride adj
ministration Immediately prcCed-
ing.
Supporters of Governor Mead
point out that under legislation
passed by the last legislature the
revenucs of the state from direct
taxes were increased by more than
500, 600 a year, and when this is
taken into consideration it i'll
cfcascs this discrepancy in the COM
narrative cost of the respective adj
ministrations. y

Yet in the face of this extortion-

affect to be grieved because there
exists in Spokane and the whole
Inland Empire feeling of discon-
tent and even Indignation because
of such unfair treatment.

Republicans Trying to Win the
Labor Vote-I0O6 Methods

The Brooklyn On. W Citizen
c;ves the following interesting de-
scription Of the methods which are
being employed to induce laboring
men in the east to vote for Taft;
Former Congressman Robert
Raker has sent sharp reply to the
suggestion from the New York
Leather Betting company that in
dustrial interests support the Taft
Sherman ticket to the end of restor-
ING business activity. Mr.. Baker,
always an ardent Bryan man, is
now the president of the Austin En-
CINE company, ayoung corporation
that is marketing a new rotary
engine recently invented by a South
Brooklyn friend, VIM. X. Austin.
The Austin Engine company a
few days ago received letter from
the New York Leather Betting
company offering republican cam
paign cards to be posted i'll indus
trial establishments, bearing the
promise of full time on the
strength of republican victory.
The method of campaigning for
republican votes through the cor
porations is resented by Mr.. Baker,
who asks why the factories are not
on full time now, in a republican
administration.
The correspondence is self-ex-
planatory. The letter received by
the Austin Engine Company was
as follows:
New York, July p, 1908.
"Gentlemen-We heve tackled
this notice upon the walls of our
factories in Brooklyn and New

This city is a good many miles from

the largest and most important max

date mems fashions for spring and
summer, 1908-styles that are iden
teal in every detail with those Great

quaint himself with the prevailing

Kansas City, Mo-, March BOWL
liam ]. Bryan arrived in Kansas City
to be the guest of honor tonight at
what is announced to be the biggest
political banquet ever held in this
country. Convention hall has been
engaged for the affair and arrange.
ments have been maze to seat more
than twelve hundred diners. In addi-
ton to Mr.. Bryan the speakers will
include several other democratic lead,
ers of prominence
The present visit of Mr.. Bryan to
Kansas City, the second he has paid
this city within a month, is regarded
as of considerable political signifi
canoe. In the first place, Kansas
City is the stronghold of the Taft
supporters in Missouri. Then, &C
cording to report, the Bryan managers
are somewhat concerned over the ia
vorable reception which the johnson
boom has met among the large Swed
ish element in the neighboring state
of Kansas To counteract the John
son influence Mr. Bryan has arranged
an early tour of Iowa, Kansas, Colo
