bullet through the beast, but it only
seemed to expedite his flight. Mr.
Graham pumped two shots into the
animal without checking his carer
The other bear followed his companion
but Mr.. Douglass had better luck with
his second shot, the bullet striking the
bear between the eyes. killing him in

broad trail of blood left by the wound
ed bear, but as it was getting late the
chase had to be abandoned.

Among the officials to be elected
Tuesday is that of state senator. 1hls
district that will join in electing a
state senator is composed of the coun-
ties of Grant, Douglas, Ferry and Ok
anogan. The republicans have nomi-
mated for that office a citizen of this
county, a worthy and likeable gentle
man, Hon w A. Bolinger. The dem
ocratic candidate, likewise a worthy
gentleman, is a resident of Douglas
county. Mr.. Bolinger has created
much opposition in the north end OF
the county by his stand on county di-
vision. but he must be given credit for
having been perfectly honest in this
matter, an dhe did not seek votes be-
fore the primary election, as too often
candidates do, by trying to carry water
on both shoulders. If he was willing
to face the chances of defeat on an
honest declaration, he will represent
this district honestly if elected. He
should be elected. He has had exper-
fence in the state legislature, and he
would not go to that body green
hand. The state legislature will be re-
publican, and republican can ac-
complish more for his district than a
democrat in the same position. 1t
would be the part of wisdom, and 10y
atty to a home man, for the people of
this county to unite upon Mr.. Bolinger.

I'm just this same way the expert
ence of every dry town has been that
the mere voting of the town dry does
not stop the sale OF liQuor--it simply
cuts off the revenue that the city for
merly got from that source: 1t does
not increase the morality. 1t simply
makes it little harder-for a while
to get the liquor, and stolen sweets
are always sweeter:" 1t does not aid
the city in any way, business finan-
cially, morally. progressively, 1t simply
robs Peter to pay Paul-and Peter, II

THE history of the dry movement is
the same everywhere. 1t resolves It.
self into two big questions as far as
Olympia is concerned
Where is Olympia going to get the
$4,000 annual revenue now paid by
the saloons?
DO the people of Olympia want the
dirty, sneaking. illegal and democrat
izing "speak-easy" or the saloon which
they can regulate through the city off,
Gals they themselves elect?
THE second question will be an
swered by the voters at the election
to the first there is no answer. There
is at the present time absolutely nc
way Olympia can raise an extra
$4,000 year to carry on its business
To vote Olympia dry will mean that II
will be bankrupt, and that means that
every form of public improvement, ev-
cry advance on civic lines, every pro-
ject which has for it's purpose the
placing of this city in the position II
should occupy in the commercial
world, will be stopped peremtorily and
permanently. 1t cannot possibly be
avoided.
1T is time the taxpayers Of Olympia
took these things into account. The
city has reached its limit of bonded in
debtedness, 1t can borrow no more
money and it is having difficulty to pay
what it already has borrowed. Its tax
es are SO close to the legal limit now
that there can be practically no in
| crease from that source There is nc
way to raise $4,000 more a year."

HIS FIRST BEAR.

w. s. Douglass, of LoomiS. killed his
first bear last Friday, and thinks bear
hunting the most exciting sport that
can come in the way of hunter. TAX
ing advantage of the snow fall he was
out with j. w. Graham, up Sinlahekin
creek, few miles south of Loomis,
chasing the nimble deer when his at
tention was attracted to the tracks of
two bear At the time the hunters
were chasing themselves along a fresh
deer trail, and Graham suggesting that
the bear would keep, the deer tracks
were followed. Becoming separated
from Graham, and realizing that a
stern chase is long chase Mr.. Doug
lass halted and peddled back to in
vestigate the bear signs. He followed
the broad trail over logs, and through
underbrush and up the steep noun
tain side, where he could hardly gain
a foothold. At last the chase came to
an end when he reached spot where
the bears had crawled between the
boulders into a shallow cave. With
a disregard to consequences that
would indicate that Mr.. Douglass is
either a man of uncommon nerve. or
inexperienced in the moods and ordi-
nary rough habits of bruin. he reached
into the hole with a stick, stirring I'D
the animals until they growled. For
tunately they were not in a pugilistic
mood and refused to vacate the prem
ises. After infinite labor Mr.. Douglass

LOCAL OPTION AT OLYMPIA.

Oroville is not the only town in the
state that has been going through a
local option campaign. The same
question is up for settlement at the
forthcoming election in other commun-
tiles. The question is to be submitted
to the electors of Olympia. The Olym-
pia Standard, the Oldest newspaper in
the state, has this to say in part anent
the question of a wet or dry town:
why does capital refuse to go into
a dry town? Because the experience of
capitalists and business men of the
country over has established one in
cOntrovertible fact, fact that no
amount of harranging can dispel.
THE voting out of the saloon inevi-
tably causes a decrease of from Is to
40 per cent-an Everett business man
just placed it at 80 percent of the
amount of general business formerly
done in that town.

Oroville, October 26. 1912.
What help are the saloons to Oro-
Vile? They are no help, but damage
to the village and disgrace to the cit
liens of Oroville. There is money
spent each day in the saloons which
should be spent for the purpose of
providing for their families. Two
thirds of the men that are sun struck
each year in Chicago are drunks. Also
twothirdS of the men that are frozen
to death each year in Chicago are
DRINKS. Fifty per cent of the insane
people in the United States were
drunkards at one time. So men think
what you are voting for before you
vote. NEW CONFER.
(No doubt this gentleman is sincere
in his opposition to the liquor traffic,
but he fails to tell us how the people
of Chicago are going to escape sun
strokes and freezing by Oroville vot-
ing dry. If he lives here long enough
he will find that the people of this val
ley, whether drinkers or total abstain
ers, neither suffer from freezing nor
sun stroke If we wanted to be
hippant, we would say ito be frank
this is a fair sample of all we read in
favor of the issue" But we believe in
treating our fellow men with courtesy,

say with all kindness that we believe
that he is honest in his stand and is

To friends of organized labor:

To friends of organized labor:
Shall monopoly rule, or shall the
people of Oroville rule? Those far
sighted financiers of Oroville know if
the town goes dry the business of Oro-
vile will be paralized, especially the
whiskey business. They know every
saloon man must leave the town, and
every other business that is depending
on them for business must go. And
they smile.
They know that every saloon man
owns his property, and if the town
goes dry they, and the ones depend
ent upon them, must sacrifice their
holdings in Oroville for little or moth
ing in order to get away. And they
smile.
And as they have the money they
gobble all of this property up. For
they are far sighted enough to know
that the town will go wet again, and
by this scheme they can double their
money, and in some cases triple it..
And they smile.
Do not let these financiers pull the
wool over our eyes, for you can never
tell what monopoly is driving at until
you are in the trap. And they smile.
All producers should remember that
they keep the wheels of commerce
moving, and the financier lives off our
labor. And they smile.
Let us go to the polls on election
day and cast our ballots against mo-
nopoly, and by so doing help brother
who has produced something, while
the monOpolist is soheming how he can
get what we have produced. In so
doing we cannot make matters worse.
And they have stopped smiling.
