final run. Can the removalists null
Omak through as against Conconully?
we Will of course under our agree
ment get in and do all we can to help
Omak win if that place is nominated.
and we will at least have the argu-
ment that it will make far more
suitable location than Conconully, and
we Will work that argument for all
there is in it. But consider we'll
all the things that Omak must over
come in order to win the favor of
those voters who will finally decide
the contest in November. Remember
there is another long, expensive fight
to be fought after these primaries
are over. Who do you want to tie UP
to for that fight? If you are sincere
removalist, it must, we believe be
Okanogan. The town that has been
il the lead throughout all this contest
ur to date. The town that has been
setting the pace in this race so far.
The town that first offered a definite
bonus. The town that first put that
bonus up. The town that had by far
the most names on it's petition, and
got them in by far the shortest time.
The town that has a clean record for
square dealing, and is practicing no
hypocracy in this campaign. The
town that is on the railroad, not mile
away. The town that is permanent
and has many substantial brick and
concrete buildings, as against the
town that is wholly of frame buildings
and whose citizens are wondering II
there is not going to be a stampede
to the proposed government townsite
on the railroad. The town that has
done things,and can do things; the town
you can tie up to and be assured
that creditable showing will be
made. That town is Okanogan.
We will issue next week as our
closing effort big illustrated supple
ment to the Okanogan Independent. 1t
will be extensively circulated. 1t will
show you something of what We have
done here, and will give you an idea
of what it is possible to do here to-
wards making this a creditable county
seat. We ask that our showing be
accorded careful consideration and
give credit where it is due. That is
all we ask.
COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL COMMIT

WHERE IS HE ATT

Inc colonel no longer leads. He is
constrained to follow. The progress
siVes OF New York state refused to do
MS Dldding and left him without a
party when he endorsed the candidacy
VI Harvey d. Human, a republican
iof governor Of the Empire state. Or
position to the bosses was the osten-
siDle reason given by the colonel for
MS endorsement of Human. That rea-
son failed to appeal to his erstwhile
followers. They refused to Join him
and held out for a straight progress
siVe hight. Too many believed that
l. n. mad an eye on the main chance,
or, in other words, was framing nm to
capture the New York republican
PRESIDENTIAL electors in 1916. They re-
FUSED to play the game that way.
Inc apparent desertion of the pro-
eresslve party by the colonel had an
immediate =, and startling effect
throughout the country. 1t took the
courage out OF the leaders everywhere,
ana the slump in progressive strength
IN every state where there was a test
OF strength caused CONSERVATION to
the veterans of Armageddon.
NOW the colonel, recognizing his tact
lcal error, renigs on his endorsement
OF H1nman, following conference
with the progressive leaders of New
YORK, and announces that he will sup
port straight progressive ticket. At
the same time he declares that under
no circumstances will he be the pro-
gressive candidate for governor" But
alas, and alack! his party associates
take him at his word and will not at
tempt to induce him to change his
mind.
Has the colonel ceased to be neces-
sary to the party of his making? 1t
appears so. He can no longer dictate.
In this instance at least he is COM
peiled to follow, having failed to lead.
Will he keep his word and support
the progressive candidate, il, per-
chance, that candidate happens to be
Sulzer, most likely development?
Not long since, when the colonel was
Juggling with the progressive nomina-
tlon for governor-refusing, consider
lrg, hesitating-he announced that he
would be candidate rather than let
Sulzer have the nomination. Now Sui
ger Is the most formidable contestant
for that honor, or forelorn hope, and
the colonel recurs to that historically
famous language, under no circum-
stances, ETC." Will he support Sulzer.
If Sulzer is the nominee? Or will he
indulge in another cup of coffee in
view of the altered circumstances?

EXPERT ADVICE

Although he has severed his con-
nection with the schools of this coun-
ty Prof. Funkhouser is still deeply
interested in the educational advance
ment of the schools of the several
towns in the county, and especially is
he anxious to see the Oroville high
school make good. He stated that
during the athletic meets last winter
he had an opportunity for the first
time to get acquainted with the young
men and women attending the Oro-
Vile school, and formed very warm
attachment for them. He spoke in
flattering praise of the manly and
sturdy material among the boys in the
school, and expressed the hope that
every lad and young lady would con-
tinue to attend the local school, thus
making up large high school class,
and insuring the accrediting of full
four year high school by the end of
next term. So earnestly was Mr..
Funkhouser in arousing interest in
the local school that he personally
talked to several of the scholars with
whom he is acquainted, urging them to
continue in attendance at the home
school. Mr.. Funkhouser's advice
should carry influence and weight
among the high school scholars of
Oroville who have completed the two
year course. By attendance and eff
fort they will contribute to increase
the high school standard, and at the
end of the term there is no doubt but
that the school will be accredited the
four year course.

Progress of County Seat
Elimination Contest

Everything seems now set for the
primaries in the county seat elimina.
ton contest. Omak put up last Friday
bonus equal to that of Okanogan
viz: twelve thousand dollars. The long
delayed decision of the Supreme Cou
IL the matter of the validity of the
Omak petition has been rendered. 1t
holds that the name of Omak is en-
titled to go on the ballot along with
that of Okanogaa. The manner of car
rying out the primary election is be-
ing arranged for by the joint commit
tees, and the town that gets beat in
the primaries agrees to withdraw and
support the other in the final contest
against Conconully in November. L.
surely looks as if the chances were
now good for getting the county seat
moved down out of the hills. We believe
that the people of the county as a
whole are to be congratulated on the
prospects. If the town of Okanogan
is defeated in the primaries, we be-
lieve that he people here will faith
fully carry out their part of the "elimi-
nation agreement" and we believe
likewise in regard to the Omak signers
Of the same.
Which town will you choose as your
candidate against Conconully! That
Is the question.
Now that the decks are finally clear
ed, we want to say few last words
to the voters who will decide this bat
tie Of the ballots between the two
towns week from next Tuesday.
We maintain that the town of Okan-
ogan will make the strongest candi-
date to pit against Conconully in the
finals. If the town of Okanogan is
nominated We believe we can move
that county seat to the railroad, if
there is any such thing as getting it
moved this trip. If we fail you can
b. satisfied that it was because it
could not be done by any town at this
time. You are of course looking for
winner to put into the field against
Conconully. Then vote for Okanogan.
II the removalists of the county can
not move that court house with Okan-
ogan as the candidate, then certain
is they cannot move it with Omak
as the candidate. And remember if
Ccnconully wins we cannot vote on
the removal question again for four
years. That means four years more
OF Conconully. Pick the candidate

In the list of candidates for county
offices there is the name of only one
Roosevelt party man. He filed as a

NOTICE TO VOTERS.

The undersigned, after studying over
the Legislative situation, filed as a
candidate for the Legislature on the
democratic ticket. At the time | filed
for this office l did not know that Mr..
E. F. Banker, of Winthrop, was or
would be a candidate for the Legisla-
ture. Now after mature and serious
reflections, l consider for the best in
terests of the party and everyone con-
oerned that we do not have two men
of the same political faith, from the
same section, running for the same
office.
Taking into consideration all of the
above l hereby withdraw my name
from before the voters as candidate
for the Legislature, and urge all my
friends and neighbors to support the
candidacy of Hon. E. F. Banker, OF
Winthrop.

The mask is derived from the tradi-

turtles Arab traders have frequented
this East African coast. and to their
influence are due most of the civilized
customs found today among the ma.
