The democrats OF Elko county
must choose between a genuine re.
publican and a bogus democrat for
county clerk. The one sails under
his true cUlnrs and the other
masquerades as a democrat, but
employs II republican deputy and
gives all the patronage of his office
to the only republican paper in
the county. A vote for Fred C..
VOight is a vote to reward party
trcachcry.
From the way the republican
papers report Senator Massey's
meetings, he is getting all the
votes wherever he talks. Senator
Massey's publicity men seems 20
think that everyone who speaks to
the senator and treats him
cOurteously well vote for linn in
November. He doesn't seem TO
realize that man may treat the
senator courteously and at the same
time intend to vote against him.
The white nan is mighty
"onsartin" on election day and
Senator Massey will realize it when

STORAGE FACILITIES
PLANNED FOR CROP

With work begun Monday in prepar.
alton for building big addition to the
storage facilities of the Davidson Fruit
Co. and the Apple Growers Union
making plans to increase the capacity
of its storage rooms several hundred
thousand boxes, Hood River will be
prepared to care for the apple crop,
which bids fair to be the largest the
Valley has ever had, passing the mil
lion box mark. The old wooden struc-
ture at the west end of the brick
storage plant of the Davidson Fruit
Co. which has been used as a
receiving house is being demolished.
The new addition. which will be three
stories in height and built of brick.
will extend from the present brick
storage house $50 feet west along the
O.-W. X. & N. tracks. 1t will be 40
feet wide and will increase the capac-
ity of the company for storage from
about 35, 900 boxes to l00,0 900 boxes.
No change will be made in the re-
frigerating machinery of the Davidson
Co., for last Spring when an additional
lot of machinery was added its capacity
was made sufficient to care for the new
building.
The Hood River Apple and Storage
CO., composed of number of East
Side orchardists. will probably begin
the excavation next week on their big
storage warehouse at Van Horn. Their
building will have a capacity of $50, 600
boxes of apples.

Capt. McCan and Dad Eppng. Lew
Dockstader has heard of the event and
has wired that he will be present.
Dockstader's minstrels have been re.
ported to be on the decline. They will
shine next season: for he is coming
with full purse and on business bent
to carry away the local stars, If he can
pursuade them to leave Hood River.
The atmosphere is already becoming
charged with kind of expectancy.

Rev. II. A. Macdonald, the press agent,
as he, with an air of nonchaance, has
been pasting the bills of announce.
ments in windows and on fences. The
feeling that we all have today is akin
to that preceding the circus, when we
were kids.
A few have been allowed to watch
the rehearsals. After seeing one per-
formanee every one wanted to see
every other as we'll as that OF tonight
and guard had to be placed at the
door to keep back the mob. Art

seen in song and dance. MRS. Henney,
