western states administered at the national capital
for the benefit, as they say, of all the people of
the Union, that they have caused many of our
eastern friends to actually believe that they all
have an interest in the wealth of the western
states, and almost to believe that they will shortly
receive bank check of no small proportion as
their personal share.
The conservation movement, az it was initiated.
was timely but few of the leaders of this move
ment have apparently become so intoxicated
with the power they once possessed that they will
brook interference with their schemes but go as
far as to deliberately attempt to ruin any man who
stands in their way, as evidenced by recent events"
Poindexter is one of those who have been in
duced by eastern interests to work for further
conservation of our western riches, in order that
capital may acquire that which the citizens should
own Regardless of any political consequences, the
action of Governor Hay must be applauded by the
residents of Washington.
Have you ever noticed how some of the good
old-fashioned republicans writhe when you calmly
make the assertion that the democrats are now
running the republican party? Not that you can
blame them at all, for it is rather humiliating to
them to see how the old party has taken on new
ways with the addition of so many office-seeking
democrats to it's fold.
In several states it is question whether the re-
publican party shall remain republican any longer,
and today, in this state, some of the candidates
for the highest political honors are democrats seek
ing Office under republican patronage. Whether
the party will stand for it not is another ques-
ton, but it has stood for it in the past and may
possibly be induced to continue it.
While this is all fun for the democrats, yet when
you come to think of it, it is not really an elevat
ing spectacle to see the once victorious party being
knitted to death by few lead-ppe assasins, when
even the great party of Jeffersonian democracy
could not succeed in causing the demise of its
enemy.
Under the conditions it is no wonder that the
of the democratic party have given the ad-
vice to all democrats to keep strictly out of the
publican primaries this year. and let the republi-
cans and the near rrepubcans and the so-called re-
publicans fight it out. Democracy has nothing to
lose and everything to win by adopting this method.

w. H. Kinter, market gardener at Greenacres,
in the Spokane valley few miles east of Spokane,
is in peck of trouble over buying horse that
was raised and broken to harness by Wong Yet,
neighboring tier of the soil. He paid $45 for the
animal, which he says is sound and we'll trained,
but, he adds tearfully, he has worn his patience
and three whips to frazzle in attempts to make
the three year old colt understand the meaning of
"gidap" and whoa" At first Kinter believed
the horse was balky, but Wong clambered over the
fence and spoke few words in Chinese and the
animal started for town with wagon load of
berries and melons, Arriving at the city market,
Knter yelled whoa" until his voice gave out, but
the horse kept on and did not stop until it reached
the end of blind alley. Kinter has made over
lures to Wong to accept the horse and return
the money, but the Chinaman refuses, saying he
did not guarantee the colt to be linguist Kinter
has asked the police to adjudicate the matter.
