Mr.. Voter, is It fair the political plum
should fall in the dish of one family
name SO often? Is it not political
courtesy to pass the plum around when
there are others Just as deserving and
perhaps more SO? And who have new
er before asked for anything in the
way of political favors. Then vote
for Amos for when you vote for Amos
you vote for good business man
rounded out with good sociaF qualities.
When you vote for Amos you vote for
a man who has made success Of his

cess of public affairs. Suffice it to
say, when you say the least, when you
vote for Amos, you vote for a gentle
man.
Truly yours.

Enemies of Hon. NJ. c. Tough have
circulated a forged letter with the
evident intention of injuring his
chances for the Republican nomina-
ton for State superintendent. A pc
rusal of the document shows 1t to be
SO palpable forgery and so weak
a forgery as to leave little doubt
that it will react to the undoing of
the intended beneficiary. Mr.. Lough's
friends will not be deceived by this
fabrication and its circulation will only
incite them to greater effort for his
success-Huntington Dispatch.

ELECTRICITY FOR IRRIGATION.

Spokane, Nov. 21.-Harry L.
Blocker, secretary of the Washing
ton Water Power company of Spo-
kane, and chairman of the executive
committee of the Northwest Electric
Light & Power association, has called
a special meeting of the last named
organization for December Is at
Portland, to discuss a plan to famil-
iarize eastern investors with the OPP
portunities in the smaller towns in
the northwest, especially in places
where electric power may be distrib-
uted for irrigation purposes. The
larger cities have been provided for.
The committee will also take up the
question of establishing a uniform
rate for electric lighting companies
in these towns, where some concerns
are running at loss while others are
making Overcharges.
A publicity company is planned
under the supervision of the assOcia-
ton for the development of the en-
tire northwest, the territory embraced
including Washington, Idaho, north
ern Oregon and western Montana.
Important improvements and neces-
sary extensions for the smaller towns
of this territory have been handi-
capped by lack of capital, and the
failure heretofore to convince eastern
capital of the marvellous possibilities
and fields for investment in electrical
securities. Eastern capital is shy Of
these securities in towns of 4 900 and
5000, comparing western cities with
those of the same size in the east,
which, instead of increasing, show
less population, sometimes, at the end
of ten years, while the reverse is true
of western cities, which forge ahead
with tremendous strides.

COUNTY HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY,

The Chelan County Horticultural
society will hold it's annual session
on Tuesday, December 1. President
Mike Koran was in the city today,
and with Secretary D. N. Gellatly,
made arrangements for calling a
meeting at this time. The constitu-
ton provides for the election of Off
GERS at this date, and the meeting
must be held at that time, but nei-
Their Mr.. Koran nor Secretary Gel
latly can be present, as both are in
terested in making displays at the
national apple show at Spokane. A
suitable program is being arranged.
There is an auxiliary at Cashmere
and a large membership at that
place. and the program is being ar
ranged in conjunction with the Cash
mere people.
President Koran has 700 boxes of
apples to place on display at the Spo-
kane show, and Mr.. Gellatly has a
Wenatchee Valley general exhibit to
| take care of, so these officers will not
! be present, but the meeting will be
! in charge of other officers.

ERICKSON SELLS ORCHARD.

Johnny Erickson, the Ephrata bus
mess man, has sold his fruit ranch
near Cashmere for $4,000, and
and thereby clears up $4,000, be-
sides getting a crop or two of apples
that helped to swell his bank ac-
count, says the Ephrata Record.
Several years ago Mr.. Erickson de-
cided to take a plunge in fruit land,
and invested $4,000 in ten-acre
patch of land He had good crops
and his share of the proceeds was
heavy. Recently he had an offer of
$4,000 for the place, and, as he
will sell anything he has, almost, he
made the deal. Mr.. Erickson sold
his interests in the horse business
this fall, but says he is not intend
ing to quit Ephrata.

been hoped for in this valley, tina

The old road leading east from the
court house has been closed below

by the Rex Spray company. This
road was on private ground, and has
now been closed. 1t is thought that
the city should build a boulevard to
the docks. There is a great deal of
travel to the docks, and good roads
are demanded. A broad road leading
to the docks would make a fine drive

to get there an easier way than at
