were elected as justices of the peace
of this precinct.
An all day session of the Episcopal
Guild will be held at the home of Mrs.

Five car loads of steel for the C. p.

the Congregational church, Loomis, on

| Just at the present time there is a
surplus throughout the country of
blasted hopes. The independent cleo
tor did it with his little ballot.
If there are any in town who have
not registered they should do so be-
fore the 18th of November, for that is
the date the registration books close.
This town voted dry, but the clerk
OF the weather Is not standing in with
the dry forces. 1t has been exceed
ingly wet in the valley since election
day.
Workmen are still taking fine ore
cut of the Golden King tunnel. If that
property does not prove to be mine
it is hardly worth while mining in this
upper country.
The vote in this precinct was strong
against all the initiative and referen-
dun measures and the constitutional
amendment, an indication of the in
telligence of the voters.
Hats off to Mrs. Mcclure. She leads
all candidates in majorities, and will
reach over 1900. The vote she receiv-
ed is a deserving compliment to a
competent and worthy lady.
A portion of the guard rail on the
bridge across the Okanogan river is
down, and the Opening is dangerous
to travel. The county authorities
should have it repaired at once.
Dill defeated Rosenhaupt in this
precinct by IL votes. The majority
MIR. Dill received was owing wholly to
the personal efforts and earnest cam
paigning of Mrs. Matte Mcdonald.
The graveling of the street between
Central avenue and the bridge across
the Okanogan river is great improve
ment, but the improvement would have
been greater had the surface covered
been twice as wide.
Sheriff Stark was over from Con-
conully Wednesday receiving the con-
ORGANIZATIONS of his friends upon his
reelection. He will give the county
two years more of faithful service if
spared to round out his term.
The consolidated vote of the two
Oroville precincts will run over 400
when out in full. If the voters can
ever get together, which they should,
that vote is going to cut some figure
in future elections in this county.
The paper is out la,er than usual to-
day. That delinquency can be charg-
ed up to the election. Who could
work, anyhow, when everybody was
so anxious to get particulars and it
seemed impossible to secure particu-
lars.
| The majorities for the republican
candidates on the county ticket run
all the way from $50 to 1900. At last
reports all were elected except Black
Ter. Opposition was concentrated
against Oroville and he was made the
victim.
F. " Covert is the owner of a seven
passenger Studebaker car. Thursday
he purchased Geo. Bartell's car, an up
to-date machine, and got it at tempt
ing bargain. Mr.. Bartell will not re-
main long without car, as he has the
automobile habit.
1t seems harder to get election news
this week than in the old days of the
stage coach. The trouble was the
town people failed to make arrange
ments in advance With the telegraph
company for reports. This state of af-
fairs is not likely to occur again.
The town council will have to hedge
on public improvements If the state !
has gone dry, as so much of the in
come of the town will be cut off that
there will be no money to pay bills
unless those who v,ted dry are will
ing to donate the necessary funds,
which no doubt they will not hesitate
to do.
