for a year. 1t was pointed out at the
time of his going that Mr.. Wood did

cooked and primed to prate of advan-
tages and opportunities in Okanogan
lands, and as he is pretty good single
banded talker it was predicted that he
would scatter the gospil of the Okan-
Ogan valley upon ground that would
produce ample returns. He has been
busy since arriving at Chicago, and
the fruits of his eXertiOns are soon to
be manifest, as he announces that on
the 1st of March, there or thereabouts,
he will descend upon Oroville with a
flock of prospective land buyers. AS
he throws information into the stran-

and has a convincing way of putting

propaganda, and he should lie supplied

to the editor he says in part:

DEATH OF MRS.E. p. WHEELER.

Mrs. f. p. Wheeler died at Loomis
Friday last as result OF paralyuc
stroke she suffered on the 9th of jan
uary. There were present at her ped
side at the time of death her three
children, Mrs. Robert B. Vail, ana Ar
thur f. Wheeler, of LOOmis and Miss
Maude L. Wheeler, of DeSmet, daho.
Services were held at LoOlnis Sunday,
Rev. Robert Thompson officiating. The
body was embalmed and shipped to the
old home OF the deceased, Nottingham,
Vermont, for interment, and was ac-
companied by Mrs. Vail and Arthur
Wheeler.
The maiden name of the deceased
was Jennie Lind Wheeler, and she was
born at Nottingham. VT, in 1858. and
thus was in her 59th year of her age.
She was married to f. p. Wheeler. who
came west some twenty-five years ago,
and for the past twenty years has been
p.,ning on Mineral Hill, near Conconul-
ly. Mrs. Wheeler came west to Okan-
ogan county some eight years ago, re-
siding at the mine at Mineral Hill for
short time, and then taking up her
residence with her children Mt Loomis,
where she has since lived. On January
II, 1911, she was stricken with paral-
ysis, but subsequently rallied and al
most entirely regained her normal
health. The second stroke came early
in the present month. From the first
it was evident that it would prove IA
tai. She received every care and at
tention that loving hands could ex-
tend, but she was beyond all earthly
help, and gradually faded away until
the end.
Mrs. Wheeler was bright spright'
ly elderly lady, of kindly. winning
disposition, and she was held in higf
esteem by the people of the communit!
in which she lived. Her death is sin
cerely regretted and mourned by {

EXPENSIVE JUGGLING.

Mr.. W. R. Rash is a stai1 practical
elderly gentleman not in the habit OF
cutting capers for the amusement of
the public. Yet he performed an ac-
robatic feat Saturday that was very
entertaining to those who witnessed
his contortions. Mr.. Rash was on his
way to town from his place at the high
tressle, with two buckets of eggs, in
the market at this time worth about
their weight in gold. A light snow
covered the icy road that made the
footing uncertain. He was sprinting
along at stiff gait for one of his years
when suddenly the ground slipped
from under him, and Mr.. Rash hit bot
tom with jar that shook the scenery.

watson states that he Will expose
William ]. Bryan's Hypocrisy"
The spectacle of Bryan chasing
Harmon with knife and Watson
chasing Bryan with knife will be
well calculated to liven up things
in the national convention.
The first row, it is supposed, will
take place in the Georgia conven-
ton when the delegates to Balti-
more are selected Whatever oppo-
sition to Mr.. Watson develops,
however can be easily disposed of
with the steam roller. and it is ac-
cepted as a fact that he will head
the Georgia delegation. Mr.. Hutch
ms may think he is the head of the
delegation, but he will never be
heard in the convention, whereas
Mr.. Watson will figure largely.
Mr.. Watson's grievance against
Mr.. Bryan dates back to the cam
paign when the Democrats and
Populists fused, or thought they
had fused, and Mr.. Watson was
slated to go on the ticket with
Bryan. Mr.. Watson was the Pop
ulist candidate for President in
1908; went back into the Demo
cratic party in 1910; bolted the
same year, and in 1912 will be by
far the most prominent member of
the Democratic delegation from
Georgia.
He is credited with having
turned the scales in favor of I'm
derwood, and whether he goes as
a delegate because of gratitude or
because the Underwood manage
ment did not dare refuse is of lit
tie Importance.
MIR. Watson will be at Baltimore
and we shall ali watch with interest
to see what he does when he gets
there. If he attacks Bryan, as he
threatens to do, there will be a
scene, perhaps. like that in the Aud
ltorium in Atlanta, when he claims
he was hoWled down.
1t is not to be expected that in
such large body as the national
convention, and in which Mr..
Bryan will have SO many friends, a
herce attack upon the "Peerless
Leader will get through without
row.
/ see some talk that Wilson
should be the second choice of the
Georgia delegation Such a sug-
SeStiOn is utterly absurd. Georgia
has spoken for Underwood and the
delegation should stand by him to
the last. | know the delegation will
not vote for Wilson. and would
much rather see Underwood nomi-
mated than Champ Clark. If IN
derwood was not a decoy duck for
Champ Clark the delegation ought
TO prove it. We shall know more
about this when the convention has
acted.
Although TAFT has a majority of
the delegates SO far, | can't get
over the belief that Roosevelt will
be nominated by the Republicans,
and | expect to see Champ Clark
nominated by the Democrats. and,
conhdentially, | think the result
\ will be along the usual lines"
