The campaign contribution made by
the Mission democrats is exactly the sort
of contribution that Wilson wants. A
campaign that is financed by the people
and not by the interests represents an
ideal state Of mind on that question. Tho
fact that the people are taking hold OF
the idea and are coming forward with
their personal donations proves that the
people like the plan. 1t will be observed
that there are no mysterious initials IN
this list. No. "H.HR.'s,' J.Q.D.'s,r nor
&C. w. P's" in the Mission list. No one
seems to be disposed in the least to make
While the money given is not expressed
in terms Of millions, it is easy to see that
when the other democrats in the country
have been heard from in this way there
will be no lack Of funds in the Wilson
campaign treasury.

dissolution for breach of federal
statute.

III the New Jersey legislature. Another
was the constitutional inability of q
state official to prosecute for the viola

h0nOrs for Stevens County

Stevens county is certainly getting
it's full share of publicity nowadays be-
cause of honors that seem to come from
every source.
A committee of Seattle attorneys re-
Gently was appointed by the bar asso-
citation of that city to get some figures
on supreme court cases. An exhaustive
investigation was made, and it was
found that the Honorable D. H. Carey,
of Stevens county, headed the list. 1t
was found that of all the cases that got
to the supreme court from the various
counties Of the state, fewer cases were
reversed or remanded from Stevens
county than from any other county.
This is record that must please every
booster of this region.
The judgeship is non-partisan fea-
ture of county government and people
of every sort of political faith will cor
daily congratulate Judge Carey for
doing his full share to keep Stevens
county in the limelight. Statesman

Tax Commission Will Hold Hearing

Messrs. Frost, Rockwell and Corrl-
gan, members of the State Tax Com
mission, will hold hearing at Newport
on July 26 and 81, at which time they
will endeavor to ascertain the percent
age of assessed valuation to actual valu-
alton in Pend Oreille county for the 1912
assessment.
The Commission endeavorse to ascer-
tain the percentage by comparing the
assessment as returned by the deputies
with sales of real estate made during
the year. In 1911 the Commission de-
termined that the assessment of Stew
ems and Pend Oreille counties had been
made on a basis of 1924 per cent of the
actual value, and therefore assessed the
railroads operating in this county on the
same basis. If the 1912 showing is that
the percentage has been increased the
railroad valuation will be increased ac-
cordingly.

Spokane Man Buys Ranch

H. A. Hover, of Spokane, has pur-
chased the Franklin ranch, about three
miles east of Newport, and will improve
the place for home. The ranch has
frontage on the Pend Oreille river and
it's natural location is such that an ideal
home can be secured.
Mr.. Hover is wealthy real estate
operator, having made a fortune in
Kennewick Highlands, and since has
travelled over a large part of Europe in
his auto. His choice of this section for
home is an indication of appreciation
by one who has had wide travel and ex-
perience to guide him in making a Sc
lection.
About ~ acres of the ranch is in
timothy and two acres in clover, and
Mr.. Hover plans to build fine home,
park the grounds and further improve
the farm for agricultural purposes.

Another Old Town Fire

At 2:30 Monday morning the old Spo-
kane Bar building in Old Town, New
port, was discovered to be on fire and
at the mercy of the flames. The New
port Fire Department answered the
alarm and did good work in saving the
adjoining property Of Wilcox & Dough
erty.
1t was rather coincidence that the
fire occurred at within five minutes of
the same hour as the fire that destroyed
the Palace Bar in the same part of town
the Monday morning previous. There
appears to be little doubt but that the
fires are of incendiary origin, as this is
the sixth fire of the kind in Old Town
since the completion of the I. & w. N.
construction work three years ago.
The Spokane Bar building was the
property of E. D. Mcdonnell, having re-
verted to him as owner of the lots on
which it was built, after Mcdonald &
Mars, the builders, abandoned the prop
erty.
AS an acknowledgement of the work
of the Newport Fire Department, in
saving their property, Messrs. Wilcox
& Dougherty have presented the boys
with a check for $25, which is accepted
with thanks and sincere appreciation by
the fire ladies.

The candidacy of Governor Hay for
denomination at the September pri-
maries continues to grow in strength
wherever men take time to consider the
constructive legislation that the Gov
ernor has been associated with. While
the Governor may have disagreed with
the majority of the Republicans of the
state prior to the state convention, he
was only exercising the right of all in
dividuals in so doing. The real test of
a mans progressiveness is that applied
to his own personal record.
Here is some of the progressive legis-
lation passed by the Republican party,
and all of it receiving the support of
Governor Hay:
Eight-hour law for underground
miners.
Anti-race track gambling law.
Equal suffrage amendment to the
constitution.
Laws creating police and firemen's
health, pension and insurance funds.
Dinky caboose law, increasing the
safety of trainmen.
Local option law.
Eight-hour law for women workers..
Full crew law. This law compels
railroads to operate their trains with
full crews of men, thereby safeguarding
the lives Of trainmen and passengers.
Bill submitting constitutional amend
ments providing for the initiative, ref
erendum, recall of elective officers
other than judges.
The workmen's compensation act.
