Spokane county progressives decided
at meeting held on Monday to leave
the Republican party, and practically
every progressive who had filed for a
nomination on the Republican county
ticket has withdrawn. 1t is planned to
hold a primary in each county in the
state on Sept. 7, to elect delegates to
state and county conventions to be held
on Sept. 10, the day of the regular pri-
maries, and then place in nomination
full tickets. In Spokane county the
feeling is so strong that candidates are
being searched for to come out against
Republicans who had no opposition.
Local Progressives have been asked
to participate in meeting at Spokane
Saturday to formulate plans for placing
ticket in the field in every county in
eastern Washington. However local
sentiment is almost unanimous against
a third party county ticket, as it is
realized that the nomination of such a
ticket would simply mean the success
of other parties at the November cleo
ton. 1t is not likely that there will be
a third party county ticket in Pend
Oreille.

Killed by Falling Tree

At the Bryant camp on Priest river
on Sunday occurred an accident which
resulted in the death of William N.
Goodman, single man, aged about 81
years. Goodman was working alone
about noon, telling cedar. when some
workmen nearby heard the crash of a
falling tree, followed by cry for help.
Rushing to Goodman's aid, they found
him pinned under the tree. which was
quickly removed. Goodman's hips and
back were crushed and he must have
suffered intense pain, but he insisted
that he was not badly hurt. He was
taken to Priest River for medical treat
ment and died at 2 O'Clock Monday
morning.
The body was brought to Newport
and prepared for burial by Undertaken
Harding for shipment to the home of
his parents near Standish, Mich. His
brother Craven, who is in the employ OF
Appel Bros, accompanied the body to
the old home.
Goodman had resided in this sectinn
about IA years, employed most of the
time in woods work. He was a clean.
cut man with many friends, who de-
plore his untimely death.

THIRD PARTY IN THE STATE
Proeressives Withdraw From State
and Congressional Ticket.
Feeling Against New Local Ticket

During the past week there has been
turmoil in the political situation in the
state of Washington as far as the Re-
publican party is concerned, and it looks
now as if there will be sharp division
of its forces.
A meeting was held at Seattle on
Saturday of leading Roosevelt men Of
the state, as result of which numerous
Republicans who have filed for various
state Offices and as candidates for con-
gress have withdrawn their filings and
severed their connection with the Re-
publican party.
Among those who have withdrawn
up to this time are John C. Lawrence,
Robt. Hodge and Otto Case, candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination; sew
eral candidates for congressman at
large, and N. w. Durham and F. M.
Goodwin, candidates for congress from
the Third district
This leaves the race for Governor be-
tween Gov. M. E. Hay and Orville
Billings, of Tacoma, and for congress
man from this district between Col.
Ridpath, Geo. Shaefer and VIM. L. La
Toilette. There being less than four
candidates for these Offices there will
be no necessity for marking a second
choice on either governor or congress
man. These Withdrawals insure the
nomination of Gov. Hay, and make a
close race between Ridpath and LaFol-
lette for congress.
It is very evident that the third party
state and county ticket plans are fos-
tered by the men who are most to be
benefited by split in the party. Law
renee and others were facing defeat in
the regular primaries, and withdrew in
order to make fresh start in the cam
paign for the November election under
the colors of the new party. To help
crafty the ambitions of the leaders the
effort is being made to place in nomina-
ton full third party ticket in every
county in the state, as the leaders feel
that without county ticket their own
cause would suffer from lack of interest
and organization.

its value and in comparison with the
assessment of other owners.
Mr.. Fairchild claims an increase of
S123, 600 in valuation on TAO acres less
land than they had the year before, and
contended that the county was making
mistake in endeavoring to assess on
so per cent. basis when other counties
in the state were not getting a rating
of more than 40 per cent.
M. A. Phelps argued that to place a
valuation of 81 per Thousand on timber
no matter where located was exceed
ing so per cent. of its actual valuation
and plead for a general reduction.
1t is difficult task that confronts
the Board of equalization in the en-
deavor to do justice to all in the mat
ter of assessments.
