Walter L. Woodard, sheriff

as deputies. Mr.. Dorman has
for a number of years assisted
different sheriffs as special officer

Mr.. Jackson comes from the pre-
cinct which gave Mr.. Woodland
such a splendid vote. He has
been city marshal of Chewelah
several terms.
C. A. Ledgerwood, for six years
associated with w. H. Graham in
the sheriff's Office as principal
and deputy. will start the new
officials of the sheriff's Office in
their duties, not as a deputy, but
as a friend of Mr.. Woodland.

Eastern Washington's proposed
distribution of $500, 600 of state
good roads funds was determined
at meeting of representatives
from 20 counties at Spokane,
when the Inland Empire Good
Roads association was organized.
Recommendations to the legis-
lature for division of the funds in
eastern Washington follow:
In the mountain district, in
cluding Kittitas, Chelan, Yakima
and Klickitat counties, 20 per
cent, to be expended at their
option on roads number z or 8.
On state road number 7 from
Wenatchee east, 10 per cent.
In Lincoln county, from Rear
dan west, Is per cent.
On the Inland Empire highway,
from Spokane south to or beyond
Rosalia, 25 per cent.
Beginning at Walla Walla, Is
per cent.
From Colfax north or south, 10
per cent.
For maintenance, five per cent.
The Inland Empire association,
in making the above recommen-
dations, is working along the
lines of the policy established by
the Washington State Good Roads
association at it's last convention
in Tacoma. According to this
plan, it is left to the mountain
counties to decide whether the
money provided for their district
shall be expended toward a con-
nection with the west side of the
mountains or for utility high
ways.
The board of trustees is COM
posed of a member from each
county. Louis G. Keller of Col
vile represents Stevens county,
J. E. Mcfarland of Republic,
Ferry county; H. G. Culver of
Pateros, Okanogan county; Fred
L. Wolf of Newport, Pend Oreille
county.

An essay shall be prepared,
which shall consist of a report of
all operations, etc., and shall con-
sist of not less than two hundred
and not more than five hundred
words. said essay not to be judged
on a literary basis, but on the
completeness and clearness of

The state body recommends
that each subordinate grange
cooperate with the State Grange
by arranging for a local exhibit
and contest, to be entered into
by members of one or. more
oranges in a neighborhood, and
offering local prizes for COM
petition.
It is recommended that each
Pomona Grange cooperate with
the State Grange by holding q
fair, picnic or some other gather
ing, where the various contest
ants of the district or county may
show their potatoes and where
the Pomona competition shall be
decided, and that a series of prizes
for such competition shall be
offered.
All local judges shall be select
ed by the local committee, all

Thelexecutive committee of the
Washington State Grange offers
as a grand prize a short course

College, one for the boy getting
the most points and one for the

The excellent results achieved
by County School Supt. A. D.
Foster this year in the boys
potato growing contest in this
county has spread the plan over
the state, and Stevens county
will take considerable pride in
knowing that it is in the lead in
such q practical undertaking.

One set of injunctions and anti

One method of revising the

One republican platformas good

The year 1918 came in without
knocking. Did you start the
year that way, too?

Among the appropriations to
be asked from the coming legis-
lature is one for the rebuilding OF
the Cheney normal school build
ing which was destroyed by fire.
This institution has done much
good work in the education of the
youth of this state, and it's in
fluence is felt throughout the
states school system in the train
ing which teachers have received
at the state school. There is no
doubt of strong pressure being
brought upon the legislature t0
make a heavy appropriation for
this school. q
Four candidates have been
nominated for the legislature
from Pend Oreille county, for
election to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Representative
S. ]. Appleman. Alva S. Sher-
lock, attorney, of Newport, is the
democratic nominee. He came
within % votes of election in No
vember. Geo. w. Sutherland,
former county commissioner, ID
the republican nominee; L. r.
Bilderback, socialist; Jens Jensen
of Metaline Falls, bull moose.
Six of the republican central com
mittee last week bolted and went
over to the moose ticket. At the
last election the moose voters
elected their man Appleman on
the republican ticket, but this
time the division of parties will
be real. Predictions are that
Sherlock will be the easy winner.
and certain it is that no stronger
man in that county can be found
for representative.
The Statesman-Index says: "As
a result of the last general elec-
ton, Colville will lose IA citizens.
The question naturally arises: Is
the success of democracy worth
such a sacrifce?"
With a silent tear of sympathy
for the Index editor, we hasten
with coincidence. It's indeed sad
that republicans are forced to
leave town when their office ex-
pires. During the long lean
years Of republican success, the
democrats seemed to be able to
stay here just the same, and the
other question which naturally
arises (but not stated by the
Index is: Why is the difference?
