Pastor Paid in Full

The salary of Rev. W. F. Tuten,
together with all the conference
claims have been paid in full for
this year. This most excellent
showing was brought about by /.
w. johnson, the hardware man,
and j. o. Sallee, who took the
matter up as business proposition
and started an extra subscription
list in addition to that held by the
stewards. This resulted in the rails
ing of more than $3.50 additional
which was sufficient to pay all claims
in full. We think this step will be
the means of causing all members
to raise their assessments just a little
for the coming year and that here
after Pocahontas will not be in the
background in the matter of paying
its preachers and church claims.

1t is with much qualification that
we announce to the many readers of
the Star Herald that Ben Smith, one

Mr.. Smith has many friends in Po-
cahontas who are very glad indeed
that he has been returned TO this
run and during conversation with
some Of the merchants of Pocahon-
tas last Wednesday morning it was
the general talk that they believed
that "Ben" sure would bring the
local in on time and that if be did
not it would require wrecking
train to remove the rubbish from
the track as he always had been
successful with the run and there
never was delay such as has been
experienced during the past three
months.

excellent plant here and so far have

and even before the Star Herald
went to press that the deal had been
made but on the request of Mr..

the property had not been taken
and Mr.. Anderson at the time did
not want the fact made public.

NOT MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

One of the quietest elections ever
held in this state is that of last
Tuesday which elected seven Demo.
cratic Congressmen. From many
points throughout the state the polls
were not opened and In three town
ships in this county no interest
1 whatever was taken and very
light vote indeed was polled. Up
to the present time of going to
press this evening the total vote re-
ported in the county to the election
commissioners was only 453, Con-
gresham Oldield having received
976 and John 7. Hall the republi-
can candidate receiving II. In
SiloAm, Elevenpoints and O'Kean
Mr.. Hall did not receive a single
vote.
The reason for such light cleo
tion was the fact that none of the
congressional districts III the state
were in doubt and of the seven
candidates two of them were with
out opposition, R. B. Macon of
the First and Ben Cravens of the
Fourth.
The United States Senate will
probably have a reduced Republi-
can majority as resultof legisla-
ture elections held in many states.
In New York state John A. Dix,
the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor, is elected over Henry L. Slim
son, Republican, by plurality of
about $4,000, reversing the Repub-
lican plurality of 70, 600 in 1908 for
Governor Hughes.
In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson,
the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor, is elected over Vivian M. Lewis,
Republican, by about 10, 900 plur-
ality, reversing the previous Repub-
lican plurality of 5000 for Cover
nor Fort.
In Massachusetts Eugene N.
Foss, the Democratic candidate,
has defeated Gov. Eben S. Draper,
Republican, for reelection, by
about 10000 plurality, reversing
Governor Draper's former plurality
of 5000.
In Connecticut Judge Simeon II.
Baldwin, Democrat, is elected
governor over Charles A. Goodwin,
Republican, by about l4,HOO plur-
ality, reversing the previous Repub-
lican plurality of 10000.
In Ohio Gov. Judson Harmon,
Democratic candidate for re-elec
tion appears to have carried the
state by about l5, 200 over Warren
G. Harding, Republican.
In New Hampshire Robert B.
Bass, Republican candidate for
governor, is leading Charles E.

HERE'S wishing one and all of our
readers merry, merry Christmas.
May beam of sunshine enter into the
lives of every one. May the hearts of
little ones beat rapturously in the pos
session of some kindly remberance,
and may the warmth of goodfellow-
ship prevail and the spirit of the day
enter into the lives of the older ones.
1t is to be hoped that no one in this
community may be overlooked, ne
elected or forgotten on this great and
universal holiday. May festivity and
good cheer enter into every household,
and the passing of the day leave a
sweet memory in the heart of every
individual member thereof. Custom
and tradition for time immemorial has
made this season one that appeals to
the generosity, the liberality, the
charitableness of mankind, and he is a
churl indeed who has not the heart,
the inclination and disposition to be
alive to and in touch with the occasion.
May Christmas day in Oroville be a
happy and merry one to every resi-
dent thereof, and the new year, so soon
to start upon it's pilgrimage, bring
good luck and prosperity to the town
and people.

LIGHTNEss OF PROMISES.

THE Methow News states that the
people of Conconully promised not to
protest against a division of the county
when the Methow desired to draw
away from the parent body at the time
of the county seat fight. This conces-
sion was made in order to secure
the vote of the Methow valley
in favor of Conconully. The Methow
performed its part of the contract, and
the News walls because the chief OPP
position to withdrawal of the Methow
comes from Conconully. AS another
instance of shortness of memory on the
part of Conconully folks it may be ad-
ded in this connection that the peo-
pie of that village, so it was reported
at the time, paid court to the liquor in
terests for support, promising not to
interfere with that business. 1t was
largely through the work performe by
that interest that Conconully won in
the struggle. yet Conconully has been
the most active instrument in securing
local option in the county.
But, pshaw, what more can be ex-
pected of promises made by men.
Promises are ropes of sand, made to
| be broken. Here and there through
life one may meet up with exceptions
to the rule. 1t is easy to promise, and
equally as easy to decline to fulfil.
The average mans word is empty
nothingness, mere sound and of no sig
nificnace. If not nailed down by writ
en- agreement he will crawfish, and
even then he is not always safe, espec-
tally if there is any danger of losing
something of value that may be NOM
mated in the bond. The News man
has discovered that promises are cheap,
and very handy wares where the max
ing of them will turn water on the
wheel of the maker. Just because the
people of Conconully promised not to
intefere in county division, he should
have expected them to be the first to
protest when the question came up for
adjudication. This is not intended as
a reflection upon Conconully. Any
comm unity would probably do the same
thing. The Methow turned the trick
on Oroville two years ago. 1t is part of
the game, as human nature is very
much alike everywhere and not always
safe to bank on.
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1910-12-23

WITH this issue is presented to the
patrons of the GAZETTE the third an
nual holiday edition that has been sent
forth from this printery. 1t has been
the aim to make it reminiscent of the
past, as well as representative of the
present and prophetic of the future.
1t represents much hard work, yet it
was largely labor of love, as the hope
is entertained by those responsible for
it's appeance that it way be the means
of attracting people at distance to
this land of bright prospects and gold
en- opportunity. A work of this kind,
when once finished, never wholly
comes up to the expectations of those
engaged in it's compilation, as they
generally see points that might be i'm
proved upon. But with all it's imper-
fections on it's head the third annual
goes out to the world, the publishers
trusting that it will meet the approval
and appreciation of the public.
