In speaking of the local option agitation in Ste
vens county, the Spokane Chronicle this week had
the following to say:
The suit of BAIL Brown, the Valley liquor
merchant, to enjoin the auditor from issuing the
notice of election, pettoned for early in the month
by the local option forces outside of the incorpo-
rated towns of the county, has commenced to stir
the two elements opposite each other in the anti
saloon campaign, and new features are commenc.
ing to assert themselves.
The democrats who have been enlisted in the
of local option have discovered that the local
option leaders are all leading republican politicians,
and, since their attention has been called to the
expression of the two party platforms of last year.
many of the unwashed have openly refused to be
drawn into the fight that seeks only the enforce
ment of republican measures.
The members Of the ministerial association,
who have most zealously led the field work, taking
the high moral ground for standing room find that
they have unobtrusively been caught in political
malstrom that is being furiously fought out under
the clouds of the valley beneath them.
AS a result of the launching of the local cam
paign at this time, all of the old political scores
and scratches of the last fall campaign are being
opened to all the old-tme hatred and criticism and
liquor license question should have been deferred
until the general election two years hence, and
such action is now being seriously considered by
the conservative local optonists." g"

A large picture in colors of beautiful saddle
animal and a certainly no less beautiful young
girl, with enticing basket of apples has been
issued by the Spokane Interstate Fair manage
ment The picture is worth more than a cursory
or second glance both for the fidelity with which
the artist has followed the spirit of the picture,
which is from life, and for the subject itself.
The horse is the famous saddle stallion ''Cy-
Clone" as perfect saddle horse as may be found
anywhere in the country, and known to all lovers
of good horses.
The fair management has already mailed 10, 600
of these pictures, which are many degrees
above the stereotyped pictures Of blue-booded
horses that are generally used in saloon and hotel
wall adornment as is ''Cyclone' superior to the
generality of saddle stations. The picture is worth
placing. Mutually, it is used to advertise this
years fair, Sept 20 to 25; and any person, who,
seeing the picture, desires one for himself may
obtain it by writing to Robert H. Cosgrove, sec
retary of the Spokane Interstate Fair.
A picture of blooded horse is good emblem
of this years fair. There will be more and better
horses this year than ever before seen at fair
west of the Missouri river, both on the track and
in the livestock show. Blooded stock is by no
means the only attraction at the Spokane fair this
year, but it makes not the least of the features of
a list of attractions such as transcends any yet
gathered in the northwest.
There will be five running races daily this year
for horses entered from all over the northwest and
from California For these and the harness
events, which include handicap trot and a handi-
