The report that is going the rounds
that one of the candidates for superior
judge went to Olympia in anticipation
of the death of Judge Taylor, in order
to file declaration of candidacy, is en-
tirely without foundation. Let there
be a square deal in this non-partisan
race.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan England with their
most valuable asset, the baby, were
visitors in town Tuesday. Mr.. Eng
land has made the Ellis-Forde ranch,
on the Okanogan river, one of the most
valuable pieces of real estate in the
county by his skill in planting and
caring for an orchard
j. ID. Wood one of the active candi-
dates for sheriff before the primaries,
was circulating about town Tuesday.
Mr.. Wood has made pretty thorough
canvass of the county and met with
much encouragement in his candidacy
IT he is chosen to the Office he will
make live and valuable peace officer
Marshal Myers is certainly getting
the Main street grade in fine shape.
When finished that street will be
credit to the town. This grade sys-
TEN should be extended as rapidly as
the financial condition of the town will
permit, as nothing so improves place
and adds to its attractiveness as good
streets.
1t will be seen by the statement of
approximate receipts and disburse-
ments of the town of Orovlle for the
ensuing year, rs published in another
column, that the expenditures top the
income considerably. That means that
for the first time since incorporation
tax will have to be levied next year
on town property.
Police Judge Fraser almost has the
writer's paralysis from jotting down
fines assessed against delinquents this
month, and the receipts will make the
town exchequer bulge out. A number
of citizens, who are usually on their
good behavior, slipped cog recently,
and were taxed heavily for their pro-
miscuous and conspicuous Joy.
II. w. Johnson, who has been con-
nected with the Similkameen Falls
Power company for number of years,

expects to go into business.
r. l.. Wright, present incumbent,
announces his candidacy for commits
sioner from the First district, on the
republican ticket, subject to the de-
cision of the voters at the primaries.
Bob Wright personally is one of the
most genial gentlemen in the county,
and he has certainly given much of his
time to county affairs and made very
efficient officer.
The Hedley Labor Day celebration
that comes off next Monday and Tues
teresting events that has taken place
in this locality during the year. The
Oroville band will attend, and those
who enjoyed the hospitality of Prince
ton on Dominion Day will no doubt go
to Hedley, where there will be repe-
tition of the same good time and hos
pitable reception.

walking. The igniter, or some inter-
nal or internal part, of the car got
out of order, and Charlie Peterson, who
is natural born mechanic. is tanning
the bucking machine at Nighthawk
At last accounts Mr.. Peterson had the
mechanism in order, and the Joy wag-
on will soon again be in evidence.
The report of gun and the accom-
panying overpowering odor that aroused
the population in the east part of town
early Monday morning can be charged
up to E. McCammon. A skunk was
prowlng around his premises and Mr..
McCammon got busy. The same night
S. l.. Sanderson had dozen chickens
killed by a four-footed raider and it is
supposed that the crime was committed
by the same animal that Mr.. Mccain
mon filled with lead.

-, rference and the public will be loud
iii calling for the elimination of the
4stricted district.
