The Register wishes to say just word
concerning the retirement of Hon. James
NJ Mason. Jr., as prosecuting attorney
os Jefferson county, and we express the
opinion of many persons when we say
that he is entitled to the appreciation of
all The people for the manner in which
he conducted this important office during
his two terms. Mr.. Mason wisely and
properly used his influence to discourage
contentious litigation and to settle
amicably quarrels and disputes that mig bit
readily have become bitter feuds aud
sources of neverending trouble He per-
united no man to use the prosecuting at
torneys Office as a vehicle for private or
personal revenge. He himself prosecuted
no man, and while lie prosecuted the
criminal. at the same time he was ever
ready to give a helping hand to the
tempted or the fallen. His view of his
Office was an exalted one. aud he must
have great satisfaction in the knowledge
that while his duties were fearlessly ard
honestly performed, no man. howev,
humble, can rightly charge him with
being unfair or unjust. Mr.. Mason is
worthy the highest appreciation of the
people of this county Shepherdstow
Register.
We with pleasure transfer the above
70 our columns. and take the liberty OF
adding that Mr.. Chas. N. Campbell, As.
sstaut Prosecuting Attorney under MIR
Mason, also proved himself faithful and
efficient official.

AN INTRODUCTION

At special meeting of the city
council last Monday evening Merle
G. Greene was appointed to fill the
position of city clerk and attorney.
Mr.. Greene is not known here
except by a very few that he has
met in the course of the time that
he has been in the city, and we do
not think it will be amiss if we
would give him an introduction to
the people whom he will serve in
the future.
He comes with references and
letters of introduction from respon-
sible parties, in his home town,
Kansas City, Kansas, which speak
very highly of his character and
ability.
He is college man, a grad uate
of the Law School of the University
of Kansas, county of Douglas, state
of Kansas. He graduated from there
on June 5, 1909, took the examina-
ton and was admitted to the Bar OF
the state of Kansas on June 20,
1909, and can be admitted to prac-
tice law in Montana after October
4, 1909.
He came to Kalispell about two
months ago and was employed in
the law Offices there waiting for
some favorable opportunity to show
up where he could settle down.
After hearing of the need of an at
torney here he looked into the
matter and was much impressed
with the opportunity there is for a
young lawyer here and decided it
was just what he wanted.
He will make this place his home
and will open up law Office here,
and there is no doubt but what he
will find plenty of business to keer
himself busy.

NEW JEWELER

S. S. Stacey of Minot, N. d., ar
rived here last Saturday and has
purchased the jewelry stock of j..
A. Robinson. He will conduct his
business as jeweler and Great
Northern watch inspector at the
same place and will carry first
class line of everything that is the
latest and up-to-date in jewelry.
Mr.. Stacey has had a wide ex-
perience in the jewelry business,
having been connected with the
most enterprising jewelry store in
Minot for some time and is also an
optician of no little ability. He is
a live and hustling business man
and will no doubt be a valuable ad-
dition to our town, where he will
find good field for his business.
After he gets his business settled
and in working orderhe will move his
family here, and will settle perma-
nently, as he is very much i'm
pressed by the advantages that our
city has for a future.

The Royal Neighbors of America
have been waging a merry cam
paign during the past two months
in securing members for that order.
The lodge has divided itself into
two factions, those having odd and
even numbers being opposed, and
each side is trying to see who can

The lodge is composed of about
20 ladies, everyone of them a live
one and a hustler, and all have
taken a keen interest in this cam
paign which has waxed very excit-
ing at this time. They feel very
proud of their work and have made
elaborate preparations for the recep-
ton Of the candidates and the men,

Some of the SO. called republi.
cans of Lincoln, who were doing
their utmost TO give Mr.. Bryan
the state last fall, are now hatch.
ing a scheme under the instruc-
lions OF the peerless one to de.
feat Senator Burkett. The idea
is to have as many republican
candidates on the primary ticket
as possible so as to divide the
republican vote and to permit
Mr.. Bryan to be the only demo
cratic candidate. This, under
the Oregon primary law would
doubtless result IN Bryan's ell
ection. Under such circumstan-
ces the republican legislation
candidates should refuse to
pledge themselves for the prim-
airy choice for senator.
Just how well the scheme will
work, remains to be seen. Gov.
Shellenbarger is being pushed
in opposition to Mr.. Bryan and
his friends are insisting that the
democratic party has been the
property of the thrice defeated
candidate long enough.
In the meantime the medicine
mixers are busy and the politi-
clans are working over time.
The Falls City tribune., 1909-02-05
OREGON PRIMARY SYSTEM

The Legislature will probably
enact the Oregon primary sys.
TEN under which a republican
legislature elected a democratic
senator. Under this law each
legislative candidate is request
ed to pledge his vote to the prim-
airy choice without regard TO
party. If be does SO his name
will appear on the ballot as fol
lows
John Jones, pledged to vote
for peoples choice for senator.
If the candidate declines 10 so
pledge himself, this fact will be
stated on the ballot.
Mr.. Bryan believes that under
this law he could be elected
United States Senator without
regard to the politics of the ma
jority of the legislature.
The Falls City tribune., 1909-02-05

We have received many inqui-
ries as 10 the location OF the first
Sunday school building referred
TO in the pioneer article of last
week. The building stands on
the north west corner Of Tenth
and Chase streets. In as much
as IT is the oldest house in Falls
City and has so much OF the al
mosphere of early associations
ciinging 10 II there seems d
growing feeling IN favor of pur-
chasing it and removing it to
the park. The house has but
little intrinsic value and could
probably be purchased very
cheaply.
The Falls City tribune., 1909-02-05

The legislature is split be-
tween Gov. Shal.enbarger and
Mr.. Bryan. Both of these gentle
men have senatorial aspirations
and are laying the wires for the
contest. The great majority oil
the legislature seems to believe
that Mr.. Bryan has been the
whole hog long enough and that
some other and less selfish dem
ocrat be given a chance once in
a while. The general impress
sion at Lincoln seems TO be that
the Governor will beat the dis.
appearless one a mile in a prim-
airy election. At any rate he
ran way ahead last fall.
