w. S. Cobb Logical Man For

State Senator.
20 the Editor
AS the time draws near for
holding the D 4mocratic primary,
it is the duty Of every good clti-
zen to take al active interest in
suppoc ting the party that has
always stood for the best inter-
ests Of the people. The Dem
ocratic party since its earliest
aistorT + IS always been composed
Of tn BEST element Of the people.
ln thu selection OF it's leaders
great care should be taken to
nominate man who are capable to
carry out the principles which
are advocated by this great
party. We need men of energy
and resource, who are competent
to grapple with the problems
which confront the people at this
time, and who have ability to
carry o4t measures that are
adapted to the best interests of
the people which they represent.
Among the most important
offices to be filled at this time is
that of State Senator, and we
consider it fortunate for the
people of Robson county that
one of it's leading citizens has
consented to enter the race for
that Office. We refer to Mr.. W.
S Cobb, Of Lumber Bridge. Mr..
Cobb is we'll known to the people
Of Robson county, and we ven-
ture to say that no man in the
county, is better qualified to fill
the Office than he is.
Mr.. Cobb is comparatively a
young man, but in a few short
gears he has accomplished more
chan most men accomplish in a
lifetime. He possesses that rare
combination Of indomitable
energy, coupled with sound bust
ness judgment. which makes him
the logical and ideal man to rep
resent US in the State Senate at
This time. He is descended from
one Of the leading families Of the
State. aud one that has always
been noted for its intelligence
and moral stamina, and one that
has always taken the lead in all
matters pertaining to the uplift-
mo Of tha community
Mr.. Cobb is considered one of
the leading farmers of the State.
In a recent issue Of The Progress
Mve Farmer, Editor Clarence H.
Foe writes a three column article
on Mr. Cobb's wonderful success,
in which he refers to him as a
Captain of Industry, and says
1hAh Mr.. Cobb's life ought to be
All object-lesson for every boy
in North Carolina. His beautiful
Bayin, situated near the town OF
Lurfsber Bridge, is a model OF
neatress, and is the most attract
i've feature of the whole com
munity. If he is sent to the
Senate we may rest assured tina
ne will give the affairs of thu
people the same close attention
that he has given his own.
Let the people of Robesol
county nominate Mr.. Cobb TO
their Senator, and we will hav
man in the Legislature that j
known from one end of Mort
Carolina to the other as an ab|
and successful man. one who hs
the interests of his people nes
his heart, and one that ever
citizen of this county may we
be proud of.
Yours very truly,

GRASS VALLEY EXPERIENCES
COOLEST WEATHER IN YEARS

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Jan. A.
Every water pipe in Grass Valley, in
Guiding the fire mains, was frozen
solid at sunrise today, when the ther-
noneter registered eight degrees above
zero, the coolest weather recorded
here in many years.
A repair crew has been at work all
day thawing out fire mains.
A strong north wind has swept this
section for hours, over miles of frozen
snow, and pioneers declare it is the
coldest winter in the history of this
section.
The camps in the higher mountains
are cut off by the snow from supplies
Stages running out of Nevada City
have been placed on runners.
Cattle throughout this section are
suffering for lack of green feed and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-"The total

feet, of which over 100, 900, 900 feet were
given away under free-use permits" ."
says the secretary of agriculture in his
last annual report, which has just
been made. The timber acquired un-
der free-use permits was used by set
tiers, schools and churches within the
forests. The secretary says that the
receipts from timber sales were about
s700, 900, and continues:
Free use of timber was heaviest in
Idaho, with over 1S,000,0O0 board feet
followed by Montana, Colorado, Utah
and New Mexico. with amounts rang

TEN KILLED BY
PTOMAlNE POISON

children died was filled with relatives
and friends, and the air became foul
and heavy, giving them little chance
for life. The doctors were without
many instruments to handle the cases,
and it is thought that had the VlctlIhs
been rushed to a hospital in the city at
the first symptoms many lives might
have been saved.
r Preciado. one of the sick men to-
night, worked all day yesterday as US
nal. feeling no i'll effects from eating
the poisoned pears. Today, when he
heard that several of his relatives had
died, he apparently became frightened
and declared he felt he was going to
die When asked If he felt pain, he
replied negatively, but insisted that he
could not get well.
This afternoon symptoms of the
poison developed, and it was feared he
would not recover. His wife, Mrs.
Julia Preciado, ate little or none of the
pears and did not complain of poison
up to a late hour this afternoon.
Gloom over Community
Practically all of the Spanish families
~ Santa Monica and Sawtelle are re-
lated in some way to the poison VIC
Tins, The news spread broadcast
among them as each one of the unfor-
tunate eight members of the famlIy
died has cast pail of gloom over the
community which will require consider
able time to efface. This is the worst
family tragedy recorded in the history
of this section, and the fact that 1t
affects the descendants of one of the
oldest Spanish pioneers lends added in
terest and sympathy on the part OF
every citizen of Santa Monica and Saw
telle.
The physicians and nurses who have
been working to relieve the sufferings
of the poisoned family, declare posi-
lively that ptomaine poisoning is ac-
countable for the tragedy. Doctors
G.. w. Peck, G. A. Fielding and A. B.
Hromadka of Sawtelle; W. S. Morten-
sen of The Palms, and ]. a. Balseley,

som of Santa Monica have all been
steadily engaged in this work for the
-bast twenty-four hours.
Miss Grace Evans, trained nurse, who
cared for the Garcias today, said to-
night that all symptoms observed by
her pointed to ptomaine poisoning. Sc

Spokane's New Paper

The first issue of the Finland Her
ald', Spokane's new evening paper,
made its appearance Tuesday and cop
les received in this city show it to
be well written and edited paper and
pleasing from typographical stand
point. We believe the management
lays great stress upon the fairness Of
the paper and makes many promises
to the people. The paper starts out
with fair list and much business, but
of course "new broom sweeps clean"
and many Of its present friends" may
later become it's most bitter enemies.
There are always the dissatisfied
who flock to new papers and new
business firms and as a rule these
people do not remain long with any
firm or business.
Spokane can well be proud of the
'Inland Herald" but in her enthusi-
asm we would suggest she not forget
the older paper for there may come a
time when the new journal will "hold
Spokane back" Spokane has two
good papers and now the dear people
should be satisfied. Perhaps if one
can't see in you the ''leading citizen
or speak of you as the peoples
choice" the other can.
