INCESsANT DEMAND
FOR THE GREAT REPORT.

There has been an incessant de-
mand, since the day OF publication
January 18th, OF the Sentinel con-
tanning the report of the Grand juno
ton Fruit Growers association Of
this city. Notwithstanding that there
were one thousand extra copies OF tho
paper printed, there are but . very
few left, none on hand in this Office
and hut q very few in the hands OF
the Fruit Growers association.
Yesterday the following telegram
was received at this office and spealos
for the wide publicity that tis. rcpoft
has already gained.
WenatcI,ee, Wash, Jan. rs.
The Daily Sentinel:
Send two huntlred (2OO) copies OF
your issue January 18th.
Wenatchee Valley Fruit Co.
The Wenatchee is new frudt
growing section In Washington and
doubtless In some manner . paper OF
the 18th reached that company and
I'm order to permit their fruit growers
to read the astounding report Of Nam
ager Moore and the Fruit association
Of this city, they sent the order for
two hundred copies.
An endeavOr was made this morn
ing 10 secure o NUMBER OF copies 70
send to the company, but all that
could be secured were half dozen
from the Fruit Growers association,
with which our Washington friends
will have to be satisfied.
The stories which The Sentinel has
Published during the last six months
or more of the fruit situation In this
valley, have been the occasion Of
more Qenufne, adycrtisfu1 than has
ever been obtained from any other
series Of articles ever published I'm
the valley. When . statement OF =
shipment Of fruit and the returns II
received and both items are published
as \ component part Of a newspapers
issue, It bears more real fruit than
advertising Of any other source what
ever. The Sentinel feels greatly graf
flied that it has been possible to fur
nish such magnificent reports tho
past year.

A DELIBERATE FALsEHOOD
Is BEING CIRCULATED.

Il Is understood that q prominent
z-ial OF the Chamber OF Com
merce, taking exceptions to the re-
marks made by Alderman Hertz at
TIE council last night has made this
s1nt1ment: 1.-THE council needs to be
dictated to. It hasn't done anything
yet Of Importance that the Chamber
of Commerce didn't hsve to suggest
or urge upon them to do. The city
council never would have made the
$5O.OOO bond issue to extend the
water system II it hadn't been for the
Chamber OF Commerce." This Is a
deliberate falsehoOd. Yet the dec
laration that the Chamber Of Com
lnerce alone is responsible for the
credit Of the bond issue made last
night has been frequently repeated
today.
Two weeks ago the Chamber of
Commerce brought petition to the
council asking that action he taken
toward increasing the capacity of the
present water system. This was the
fnst move the Chamber Of Commerce
had made In the matter.
Not less than six weeks ago the
council had quietly take up the con-
sideration of increasing the capacity.
Not less than five weeks ago the fl
nance committee began to commune
cate with bond buyers. At least four
weeks ago the city engineer had COM
pleted the plans and made the esti-
mate for the work and placed them
ON file at the city hall. Even before
the Chamber Of Commerce committee
had visited council Mr.. Spftzer, of
|Spltzer = Company. had notified the
council that he would be In the city I'm
- few days to make Investigations.
IL had been definitely and fully DE-
Fcitled 70 make the increase in the
water system before the Chamber Of
Onmmerce had ever taken any action.
The Chamber Of Commerce Is not en-
titled to one bit Of credit in the mat
ter. The Chamber Of Commerce is
gladly given at all times the credit 1t
Is entitled to in matters Of public en-
terprise.

L. H. Sweetser, Republican candidate
for lieutenant governor, is well known
in this vicinity. He was born in San
Francisco forty years ago and was
brought to Idaho when child, by his
his father, A. |. Sweetser, who at that
time ranged cattle with J. Q. Shirley IN
Raft river valley and on Rock creek.
He attended the University of Califor-
MIA and took course in mechanical en-
gineering at Yale University, gradual
ing with honors in 1889. He has been
extensively engaged in the cattle bust
ness, dredge mining and sheep business
during his residence in this state since
1889, and has very large circle OF
friends all over the state.
Mr.. Sweetser was twice member
of the Idaho legislature, where his en-
ergy and ability gave him prominence.
He is a friend of Power County and
appeared before the committee at the
i last session where he argued in favor
of the formation of the new county.
Mr.. Sweetser is row interested in 9

THE COUNTY TICKET.
Nominees Whose Private Lives Are in
Accord With the Platform.

The nominees on the Republican
county ticket are men whom any COM
munity should be pleased to honor.
Thomas Preston, for state senator,
stands for everything in private and
public life that is exalted. He is and
always has been an advocate of the
higher ideals of life, and in every way
is entitled to rank with the ablest and
best of the county's best men. He has
had legislative experience in this state
and acquitted himself with credit, and
profit to his constituents.
For representatives l. B. Evans and
| w. H. Philbrick are the nominees. Mr..
Evans has been probate judge of this
county for several years and has filled
the office so ably and satisfactorily that
there is no position within the gift of
the people that they would not be glad
to give him. He is honest, clear-headed
and forceful, and will make an ideal
legislator. Mr.. Philbrick is too well
known to require extended notice. His
record is one of useful achievement,
right living and helpful consideration.
The platforms, both county and state,
were framed after the demands of the
people. Upon the moral issues they
occupy high ground, and no reproach
can be brought against them.
The election the Republican ticket
is certain, but care should be exercised
{ to see that the majorities are large
Should for any reason the majoritie:
be small the claim would at once bt
made that there was no sincere desire
for local option and law enforcement
and the cause of temperance would suf
, fer accordingly. Men should be electe,
whose private lives are in accord wit
the platform upon which they stand
and such are the nominees on tn
Republican ticket.

The Editor Discredited.

The reputation of the editor of the
Press for truth and veracity has suffer
ed materially the past week, owing TO
the publication of the story that Martin
Garn's dry land wheat yielded seventy
five bushels per acre. The editor has
been called several kinds of liar in nu-
merous languages, and being small and
modest man, is compelled to suffer in
silence while his detractors shout from
the street corners. The story was OBJ
tained from the man who harvested
and threshed the grain and he should
know. He is somewhat larger than
the editor, has a steel blue eye, is quiet
and unaffected in manner, but those
who know him best say that a wildcat
would give him wide range if it had a
chance, The editor will take great
4 pleasure in introducing him to all who
question the truthfulness of the report
ed yield, because the Press was only a
megaphana through which he heralded
this evidence of the produetiveness Of
our dry ani soil, and if after the intro
dnctioo is over the datractor is not con-
yneed, then the story will be with
drawn Until such time the story
stands without the alteration of a sylla-
