you are friend of THE ARGUS. The great
est political battles that have ever been
fought will occur in 1910 and 1912 Tho
battles OF 1910 and 1912 will decide whether
the people OF the office-holders are To rule
this country. So far the victory has been
On the side of the ofice-holders who are
imbued with the idea that they are the
masters of the people.
The ARGUS has enlisted for the battles
OF 1910 and 1912, but it is powerless 10

support OF the people. II given the proper
support 1t promises TO do its mart in
smashing the political cliques, rings, and
machines that the people may once more

pie must quit quarreling over partisan
politics. We are all in the same boat and

Here is one from friend to THE ARcus
which it appreciates and believes the peo-
pie OF Preston will applaud. He says:
The villainous attack of the Journal is
the thing which is multiplying the friends
OF Col. Bill Lavelle in Preston county. He
has been fighting the battles of the people
ever since he came among us. He has
never sought public Office and has always
steadfastly refused to allow the use of his
name for public Office. He could have
sold out to the ring and it would have
crowned him its king. But being the true
friend of the people he has scorned its
silver. All honor to him.

new road from the boarding
house to the lower tunnel has
been completed, 80 feet of snow
shedding has been done, a new
log blacksmith shop has been
erected and the lower tunnel has
been retimbered.

RUSH HAMILTON c. O'A. WORK

A large force has been set to
work on the property of the
Hamilton Occur d'Alene Mining
company, located across the
Idaho line in Montana. The
men are engaged in continuing
the upper drift and a point is
being rapidly reached under the
showing in the upper workings.

shows ore of good milling grade
while a stringer of good shipping
