not influence me in the slightest.
l believe this treaty to be the best thing for the
whole country, including farmers, merchants, labor
ing men and all, because believe it is contrary to
nature it is flying in the face of providence to put
an artificial wall like that between this country and
Canada and not get the benefit that will inure to
people of the same traditions, the same language
and practically with the same character Of labor
If we take down that wall we will benefit by it,
tor we shall sell more agricultural products to Can
ada than she will sell to us. We do now, and we
shall sell her even more after the treaty goes into
effect. This is my judgement. l am not arguing
I am merely stating conclusion"
Colville is proud of it's baseball team. And in
the slogan Of old Grape-Nuts Post, there's
reason"
The members of the Colvle team are all batters.
This is the secret of winning ball. Scores are not
made unless the ball is hit. The other side may
make scores through poor fielding, but no team
can win unless it hits the ball sometimes And
Colvile does it all the time.
Look how Skeels now in the Northwest league,
was batted here by Colville. Skeels last week shut
out Victoria for Seattle. And remember the IL
hits off Paul Brown few weeks ago. Brown is
with Vancouver and last week Seattle only got 2
hits and run off him.
And Matson, the Tacoma Tiger, got his here
last year too the boys treating him the same as all
the rest of the professionals.
The fact is that the Colville team can go up
against almost any of the good teams of the North
west, and make their presence known. The Var
ney team of Spokane, the fastest amateurs in Spo-
kane, won by one score through an accident, but
there is all kinds of money in town which says
they can not do it again.
Steltz, Phillips, Hard, Phillips, Moore, Snapp
Wright, Johnson, Kennedy, Malcomson, Hanly-
there's bunch that is worth while.
Deer Park has been experiencing some of the
same trouble from the 'anti-saoon'' league fanat-
les as Colville had last year-and with the same
results After hired detectives had permeated the
town for several weeks, informations were sworn
out against some of the leading citizens, causing
them considerable annoyance until the cases could
be heard and dropped.
But it should be remembered that the local op-
ton boosters must keep doing something with the
bogus law to show for the money they keep collect
ing, and perhaps the detectives and those who hire
them are not so much to be blamed as the voters
who allow them such privileges to muct the public.

Judge C. H. Neal, who has occupied a cons spicu-
GUS position the bench of the superior courts of
Douglas Lincoln, Stevens, Okanogan and Ferry,
at times during the past eight years, and made for
himself an enviabe reputation among law-loving
citizens and terror to lawbreakers in Okanogan,
has decided to lay aside the judicial robes and
sumo the practice of law and forsake his old home
in Davenport to take up his new one in Concon-
nully, where he will enter into partnership with
his son Fred, who is prosecuting attorney of the
county,
Among all the republican aspirants to succeed
LaFollette in congress from this district, of
them have anything to say about reciprocity. And
of the democratic aspirants, ALL announce them
selves in favor of it. Why this difference? Which
party seems to be for the people?
No, we haven't heard from Logan yet. His
paper remains undeivered and we fear something
must have happened to him.
Elmer Burrows, recently editor of the Spring
dale Reformer, has purchased the Loon Lake Times
and will henceforth WELD the pen for that growing
vicinity.
Local option leaders of the state including Boyd
P. Doty who draws pay for what ne says ne does,
have endorsed Governor Hay for next governor,
possibly because the governor is opposed to state
prohibition and favorable to continuance of local
option.
This same bunch of ''anti'' workers indorsed
majority of the members of the last legislature
which refused to change the local option law, and
in the previous election they used their entire
strength to keep the democratic prohibitory law
