taken off in a sack. The complete

The Race for Superior Judge

There are three entries in the race
for superior judge for the Stevens
Pend Oreille district, W. H. Jackson,F.
Leo Grinstead and J. A. Rockford, all
Of Colville. Of the men who have en-
tered the contest Mr.. Jackson appears
to be particularly we'll qualified for the
position. The Northport News has the
following regarding Mr.. Jackson, who
was formerly resident of that town:
1t is with pleasure that the News is
able to chronicle the candidacy of w.
II. jackson as non-partisan candidate
before the September primaries for the
position of judge of the Superior Court
for Stevens and Pend Oreille counties.
Mr.. Jackson is a we'll seasoned lawyer
of 10 years experience, having prac-
ticed four years in Seattle before COM
ing to Northport in 1897. During his
several years of practice he was con-
sidered not only an able lawyer, but
as one of strict honor and integrity.
Added to these qualities pleasing per-
sonality, he is eminently fitted to fill
the exalted position he seeks.

I. M. Howell, secretary Of state, has
announced that he will be candidate
to succeed himself in the present office,
subject to the Republican primaries
Sept. 10. The record he has made dur
ing the past three years as state otfi-
Ger should serve as a splendid recon-
mendation, and will undoubtedly be the
main influence in gaining the nomina-
ton for him this fall. An officer who
has made good should certainly be
rewarded with second term.
Mr.. Howell is Westerner in every
sense. For 35 years he has been resi-
dent of the state of Washington, NOV
ing here in 1877 from Iowa. He is a
married man. During the years previ-
GUS to 1901 he was engaged in private
business, absorbing some.sound business
principles which have been of great
value in his public career. In 1901 and
for the next eight years he was con-
nected with the auditor office of Pierce
county, holding the office of county au-
ditor from 1905 to 1909. In 1909 he was
appointed to the office of secretary of
state, and his record shows that no bet
ter selection could have been made.
With business economy he has saved
money for the state, having collected
larger sums than ever before and at a
much smaller cost to the taxpayers.
During the three years he has held the
Office collections have been $138, 7O5. 80
greater than the three years preceding.
The largest percentage of increase is
shown in the issuance of automobile
licenses, the annual collections from
this source alone being now almost 900
per cent greater than three years ago.
This certainly shows efficiency in col
lecting fees due this department. The
cost for collecting this has been only
about per cent. Considering also the
many other duties connected with this
this office the percentage of expenses
has been unusually low.
Mr.. Howell goes further than simply
conducting the Office on sound bust
ness basis. Thoroughly alert to all that
would be of advantage to the public at
large, he makes some very important
recommendations to be acted upon by
the next legislature.

Metaline TOwnsite Case Finally Settled

The long drawn-out contest over the
Metaline TOWNSHIP, instituted and con-
tinued to the last resort by John T.
Bettancourt, has finally been settled.
After the matter had been brought to
the Secretary of the Interior for decis-
ion and that official had decided against
Bettancourt, the latter made applica-
ton for re-hearing. In decision
handed down last week the secretary
denies the application for re-hearing.
Bettancourt sought to hold this land
as a placer claim, principally valuable
for cement clay The secretary holds
that clay is but one of the essentials for
the manufacture of cement, and that
clay in itself is so widely distributed
about the country that bed of clay
cannot properly be regarded in and of
itself valuable deposit within the
meaning of the mining laws.
The interests back of the Metaline
townsite proposition, among whom are
the Rosenhaupt & Weaver firm, of Spo-
kane, and S. H. Anschell, have had this
contest to fight for more than five years,
and in the meantime their plans for the
development of the townsite have been
held up. 1t is proposed to install a
system of waterworks and electric
lights, there being an abundance of
water available in the mountains back
of the town for both domestic uses and
power purposes.
