AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

1t has come to me from various
sources that am out after the
appointment as Deputy Sheriff
and that | have been working
for Mr.. LeValley. with that OBJ
ject in view. Now | wish to an
nounce to the people Of Ekalaka,
that | am not after the appoint
ment as Deputy Sheriff at Eka-
laka, and would not accept it
were it offered to me. My
friends or the other side have
used this against Mr.. LeValley,
and l wish to say that l have no
aspirations whatever of that
kind, and whatever l can do for
Mr.. LeValiey will be done gratis.
Mr.. LeValley has made no prom
ises in regard to the matter so
far as | know, other than, that
his Deputy would be a good clean
square man from his own party.
He realizes that the Democrats
have plenty good substantial tim
Der in this community for Deputy
Sheriff or any other public office.
But will appoint from his own
party, if he is elected, as a mat
ter of political principle. Mr..
LeValley needs no introduction
to the old. timers, his name stan( $
for honesty, fairness and busi-
nesssintegrity.
So you can announce through
your paper that ! have no desire
to be Ekalaka's S next peace officer.
Respectfully

URE STATE.

Although only about two years
old, Baker, on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and Puget Sound Rail
way, already has a population of
700 and is growing at such a rap
id rate that nearly every lot in
the original townsite has been
sold. AS a consequence the Mil
waukee Land Company has found
it necessary to plat an addition
to the town.
The lots in the new addition
will be sold at Baker on October
18th, 1910, at 2 o'clock p. m. A
very low upset price will be fixed
on the lots by the company and
purchasers will be required to
bid for choice of lots, the amount
bid being added to the upset
price. Also easy terms will be
given. 1t would seem on account
of the vast resources back of
this rapidly growing city, that
| very cheap lots there will socn
be a thing of the past; and that
purchasers at this sale will make
some money.
