DIVISION OF THE SPOILS

Our neighbors at Tonasket are con-
siderably split up over the distribu-
tion of state road money in this coun-
ty. Some time ago there was a meet
ing of the Good Roads associations
Of eastern Washington, at Spokane,
where the needs Of the main state
highways were discussed. Hon w.
A. Bollinger, of the Methow valley,
was present at that meeting, and
through his eXertions and representa-
tions it was agreed to recommend the
assignment of large sum of the gen.
eral road fund to state roads Nos. 10
and IL, in Okanogap county, far moro
than the county is really entitled to.
State road No. IL extends from Pa
teros up the Methow valley, and No. 10
from Brewster up the Okanogan val
ley Both these roads are important
arteries of travel, and have secured
considerable state assistance in the
past. 1t was perfectly natural that
any money appropriated for roads in
this county should go to complete
work already commenced. The rec
ommendation of the Good Roads as
sociation was enthusiastically endors-
ed and urged by the Commercial Clubs
ofBrewster, Okanogan, Omak, Tomas
ket and Oroville. When everything
was plain sailing, and Okanogan was
tc get far larger slice of the pie than
the people thereof could have hoped
for, clique insisted that the money
promised to road No. 10 should be di-
verted to road No. 4, an almost sup
poSititious state road that was sur
veyed years ago, upon which one large
bunch of money was squandered,
creating considerable scandal at the
time, and which thereafter was prac-
t1cally abandoned as state road. 1t
purported to extend from Loomis by
the way of the old Parry ferry cross
ing of the Okanogan to Republic, down
the San Poll creek and on to Wilbur,
miles and miles of which is through an
unsettled country and seldom travel
ed. There is no intention to detract
from the usefulness of this road in
that part of this county where it is
settled, the only point is that so far as
state road is concerned it has not
been considered for years, and had it
rot been that promises had been made
% catch votes it would probably never
have figured in state apportionments
for quarter of century to come.
The one and only object in trying to
deflect the proposed apportioned mon
ey from main travelled thoroughfares
designated as actual state roads, and
partially built by state funds, is to
pay political debt. This assertion is
made upon the statements of reput-
able, responsible and representative
citizens of Tonasket In a published
signed communication Hon. R. L. Pick.
en- as much as says so. Those behind
the candidacy of Representative Nick
lie, who as it turns out, is merely
puppet who acts only as he is ordered.
pledged him to secure funds for road
Nc. 4, no matter what became of roads
Nos. 10 and 12, and had it not been
for Mr.. Bollinger this county prob
ably would not have secured a cent.
A tempest is raging at Tonasket and
Olympia over the payment of this po-
litical debt. The people of this coun-
ty will some time become tired of be-
ing jobbed, and will not be lead to
electing men just to help some crowd
to carry out pet schemes.

Monday night, and much interest was
taken in the child at the Hotel de
Grubb. He was travelling all alone,
coming from Patterson, Wash, and on
his way to join his father at Concon-
ully. He carried letter on his per-
son that stated that his name was Paul
Weston, or Wescott giving his destin-
alton. AS he had to change cars at
Marcus, lay over nig' at Oroville and
again change from the train to an
auto stage at Riverside the infant had
a complex route to travel in order to
reach the place to which he was 60
ing. He is a bright child, but of much
too tender years to start off on long
journey with changes sufficient to per-
pleX an older person.
Tuesday Billy Frank purchased
from H. w. Bragg several hundred
dollars worth of farm fixtures, in
Guiding heavy wagon, a light two
seated hack, cultivators harrows, etc,
which were sent to his ranch in Aen-
las valley. Mr.. Frank has also lately
invested in a large number of cattle.
Owing to the fact that there is no
ordinance in existence to provide pun
ishment for dog owners for allowing
their dogs to fight on the street, or in
private for that matter, the marshal
has no power to make arrests in
such cases. 1t is rumored that an Or
dinance will probably be drawn to
cover such cases.
Hansina, baby of Mrs. Luella An
derson, born October 4, 1911, died
March 3, 1915. She was taken with
the Group and was taken home to be
with Jesus suddenly. The funeral
services were held at the home. Many
kind friends gathered to express their
sympathy Rev. Morton officiated.
March 4, 2:3O p. m.
Ed Flanders who operated stage
lines between Conconully and Brew
ster and Loomis for many years, was
in town Wednesday, visiting his moth
er and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L.
Davis. Since giving up the stage bus
mess Ed. has been ranching, and as
result he looks better fit and is in
better health than he has been for
years.
Property owners should bear in
mind that personal taxes become de-
linquent March Is, and that the 3
per cent discount on real property
taxes ceases at that date. Those who
can make the rifle should pay up be-
fore that date, thus saving additional
costs, which would be hardship piled
upon hardship considering the high
rate of taxation.
Little interest is being manifested
in the school election to be held to-
morrow Saturday. One director is
to be selected. AS everybody wishes
tc see Geo l.. Cole retained in that
position he will undoubtedly be the
choice of the electors. He does not
want the position, but as he is the
right man in the right place his wishes
will not be consulted by the residents
OF the district.
Little Annie Russell was so far con-
valescent Friday last that her parents
were able to remove her from the Oro-
vile hospital to the home of friends
The child was brought to the hospital
some seven weeks ago, and for a time
there seemed slight hopes of her re-
covery. The child became a great
favorite, and Miss Hicks, the nurse in
charge at the hospital, devoted much
Of her time, both night and day, to

MASQUERADE BALL

Notice is served that the local band
is planning to give a masquerade ball
in the Orpheum theater on the night
OF March II. This is a date in the
calendar that is never permitted to
pass without a social event of i'm

band proposes giving will be one of
the most attractive and largest attend

body time to prepare their regalia

God Save VI From q Hen-Peckeo
Nation.

I follow the pillow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
OF the soil; my hair Is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps l am n little old-fashioned,
but believe there is more moral in
iluence in the dress OF woman than In
all the statute books of the land. As
an agency for morality. I wouldn't
give my good old mothers home.
made gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and bylaws In the world.
AS a power for purifying society. I
wouldn't give n prayer Of my sanity
mother for all the women's votes in
Christendom. AS an agency for good
government. | wouldn't give the plea
OF q mothers heart for righteousness
for all the oaths OF office In the land.
There is more power In the smile
OF woman than In an act OF congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family OF
laughing children than In the cab
met OF the president OF the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies In
the home and not In the legislative
halls. The h~earthstone and the fam.
ny Bible will ever remain the source
OF our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts OF Congress.
This country is law'mad. Why add
TO a statute book. already groaning
under Its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? II we never had q
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law In twenty.
five years, we could survive the or
deal. but without home. civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen. pecked nation;

Woman Is Ruler over All.

Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
OF nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In It's sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
In shame: clinging to its motherly
folds, lettering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from 1t
youth learned to reverence and re-
Spect womanhood. Can man think Of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears OF regret over his depar.
ture. he has lived In vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when nan bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can nan find II In his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one Of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country. that his distinguished
grandmother was one OF the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate oil that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? WHITTIER
are we drifting and where will we
