Mark Thomas, of Okanogan, was a
visitor in town Monday, making a fly
ing trip up the valley getting in the
last ticks on county seat removal. II
removal is not accomplished this time
it will not be because the people of
Okanogan have not worked faithfully
and earnestly for the prize.
Those opposed to county seat re-
moval rang the changes in on $780,
900 courthouse good and plenty in
this place Tuesday, and it had some
effect in influencing voters, the voters
not taking into consideration that no
sum could be spent on courthouse
unless ordered by the commissioners.
This paper was a trifle sudden in
stating that Pard Cummings was to
build another residence on his lots in
the west part of town Immediately.
He is thinking seriously of putting up
another residence if the weather con-
tinues pleasant this fall. Anyhow, he
will put up building on his ranch
just east of town.
AS was predicted by this paper the
dance last Friday night under the au-
spices of the ladies of the Altar So
cicty of the Catholic church, was very
largely attended, and the amount Of
pleasure in circulation corresponding

cessful social event it SGT the pace
for the season of 1914-15.

from the Methow valley, where he and
his wife recently made a trip to go in
to raptures over a new grandchild.

The campaign was wound up in Oro-
lille by a socialist meeting Monday
which was addressed by J.
!. Freeman, socialist candidate for the
legislature, and L. w. Barnes, socialist
candidate for sheriff. We know Mr..
Barnes and feel that he would fill any

S as fair and just as MIR. Barnes he
would make an excellent represen-

Fred. j. Fine came in Monday all
he way from Seattle in order to vote.
