low the mountain range north from the middle OF
range AZ, on the border of Spokane county, to
township 81. The townships g. 38 and 80 are
placed in the new county, and township 40 is re-
taned in Stevens county.
The new county will be called Pend Oreile, with
county seat at Newport
Considerable difficulty has been experienced
with the proposition to divide Okanogan county,
and the fight promises to be warm one.
Republican insurgents at Washington have pre-
pared for war within the republican party by
organizing the National Republican League. The
declarations of principles are signed by nine re-
publican senators, six republican governors IL
members of the house and a number of distin-
guished reformers
The league has elected officers, and prepared a
platform which embraces most of the principles
taken from the democratic national platforms
which have appealed to the people as favorable to
them and not made especially for the interests. ="
1t now seems probable that the next session of
congress will have four parties represented, name
ly, the democratic, the republican, the republican
democratic, and the socialist.
The Canadian reciprocity treaty will put on the
free list wheat and other grains and dairy pro-
ducts, fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs poultry,
cattle, sheep and other live animals.

placed on the free list by Canada and lumber by
the United States.
Barbed wire fencing now free in Canada, will
be put on the American free list.
Printing paper is to be made free on removal of
restrictions by Canada on the expectation of pulp
wood.
Raw materials, such as mica, gypsum and the
like, will be free. Mutually reduced identical
rates are fixed secondary food products, such as
fresh meats, canned meats, bacon, hams, lard,
canned vegetables, flour, cereals and other partly

Chief Justice Rudkin having been confirmed in
the appointment to the Office of federal Judge
Governor Hay has offered the supreme court seat
to Harold Preston, seattle attorney Thus six of
the nine supreme court judges are from the west
side, which ought to be enough. Perhaps the
governor is using the appointment to build up
some much-needed fences on the west side
All the democratic newspapers in Stevens coun-
ty are to be supplied with vegetable seeds this
spring, for distribution among subscribers, accord
ing to announcement received by the Examiner
this week from Miles Poindexter
You know Miles ran for congress last fall, and
by reason Of the exertions of the Examiner along
with some other papers in the state, was sent to
the senate. 1t is true the Examiner could have
worked harder for Miles than it did, but nasmuch
as this paper reluctantly refrained from throwing
any bad names at him, and confined it's attentions
to simply jabbng and knitting him on every occa-
sion possible Miles undoubtedly feels that the
Examiner is entitled to recognition at the hands of
the vegetable department.
He also states that agricultural year books of
1908 and 1909 will be sent this office The editor
will really appreciate this gift as there is nothing
so soothing to tired mortal as to look over some
OF Jim Wilson's handmade photographs of the
newest thing in potato bugs or the late inventions
in cholora and field lice. After these volumes ar
rive, any subscriber who paid in advance will be
given the privilege of looking at the pictures, and
by bringing his own writing material may copy
down such items as he may desire regarding the
care and cultivation of the various vegetable in
iquities which may be new to this section
In behalf of all the democratic papers in Stevens
county, the editor desires to thank Miles for his
kindly donation at the expense of the government
and to assure him that everything is getting along
nicely here since he left for Washington And if
at any time he desires any help in running the
government, the editor will be the last man to
stand back and refuse him information as to the
correct method of procedure.
Roosevelt says that he is in favor of radical
measures carried out by conservative men, Sure
thing. Most any conservative man would be will
ing to carry out Teddy's ideas and bury them
carefully in the back yard where the children
can't get at them.
