OPPOSE DIVISION

The Brewster Herald gives
the following report of an an |
ti-division meeting at Pateros
New Years eve:
A very enthusiastic meet |
ing was held at Pateros New
Years eve by the PaterOs Com
mercial Club, at which the fol |
lowing were guests: Senator
Mcclure of Waterville, Rep
resentative- elect A. j. Nickle
Of Tonasket, and five members
of the Brewster Commercial
Club; E. R. Tyler, A. c. Gil
lespie, D. L. Gillespie, Guy
Greaves and Roy Dorothy.
The occasion of the meet
ing was to acquaint our SEN
ator and representative with
the desires of this section of
the county regarding needed
and not needed legislation.
The subject of county division
was brought up and thorough
ly discussed by all, and the
meeting went on record as be
ing unanimously against coun
|ty division of any kind and
the Methow shoe string in par
ticular. AS both our joint sen
ator and representative were
elected on an anti-division
platform they will do all in
their power against division at
| this time.
AT the excellent banquet
held early in the evening Sen
ator Mcclure made a very in
teresting talk on the road ques-
ton. explaining the matter in
detail. He was followed by
Representative Nickle who de-
fined his position on division
matters. He in turn was fol
lowed by lesser lights.
1.-The best of harmony pre-
vailed and all voted Pateros an
ideal host. About sixty peo-
| pie partook of the bounteous
repast.
