week state that some farmers were

inches OF snow on the ground. in an

Pourtales. with ]. NJ Norris, IT.. and
T.. X. Hoose as clerks. The work was

Republicans do not feel that they
are on crow diet this year. With
the party split in twain the election of

was a graveyard whistle all the time
and few were deceived by the noise.
The vets did not win all the honors
IN the elections held on the 5th in cas-
tern Washington. A large number of
towns voted on the question of local

confusing one judging from the &C.
centric manner in which votes were

ballots may have been on account of
the peculiarities of the voters, howev-

A canvas covered vehicle, furnished
with stove and containing a family,
passed through town Tuesday. The
smoking stove pipe indicated that
the travellers were keeping comfort

whittier going no one knew, but it
seemed like the wrong season of the
year to be adrift hunting for a loca-

The democrat vote in Oroville was a
surprise, and the result is owing very
largely to the earnest and persistent
work of Mrs. s. F. Mcdonald. Mrs.
| Mcdonald made house to house can

effect of her solicitations was apparent

Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Anderson found

phone anything but a soft snap. Both

morals and pocket at one and the
