Horse Fell Into Ditch

Monday morning one of the horses
in the team driven by Eugene Hill
while at work blowing along the side
of the storm sewer trench on Main
street, got to near the excavation and
tumbled in. The animal seemed none
the worse for his experience, after he
was cotton out. q

COMMUNICATED

Why | opposed the recommendations
OF the Eastern Washington Highway
Association as to the disposition of
state road funds in Okanogan county.
Ever since the state road levies
were created, the north part of the
county has been paying the bulk of
the taxes, and the Methow. and the ex-
IRENE south part of the county getting
all the state road money.
The credit is due those who went
after the money, but l thought the
time had been reached when some one
from this part of the county should go
after some of the state road money.
A meeting of the Eastern Washing
ton Highway Association was held in
Spokane on the 9th of October, 1914.
Some think this association does the
apportioning of the road money. This
is not true. The legislature does the
apportioning, but this meeting was
held to recommend where the money
be apportioned over the eastern part
Of the state. No one from this part
OF the county attended, but Mr.. Boil
niger and Mr.. Culver of the Methow
did attend, and, of course, they asked
that a generous amount of state road
money be recommended to be spent
or their road No. IL. That was only
natural, but as member of the road
and bridge committee of the house,
and the representative from all Of
Okanogan county, and not the Methow
alone, felt that l should not agree to
this recommendation, as it was not
fair to the balance of the county.
| got the figures of past expendi-
lures, and found it was worse than
had suspected. The Methow had had
s53,74O.34 on road No. ~, and road
No. 10, purely local road, had had
S6,12S.99, of state money, while road
No 10, much more important road,
being the main trunk line of the coun-
ty, had had but s26,234.63, of which
a large sum was spent on the Pateros
bridge, and road No. 4 in this county,
had had but $1,45O.31.
These figures alone show that the
Methow has had much more than her
share of money, especially when they
only pay one-fifth the taxes, 800 to
our $500, yet, they have received near
ly three times as much state road
money as the balance of the county.
1t seemed to me it was time some
hing was done. | therefore, decided
&c ask for more money on roads No.
10 and No. 4, and less for the Methow.
when the road bill was to be prepared.
Mr.. Bolinger knew, of course, that
hey were asking for more than their

r. E. NJ. Strickland, of Spokane,
spent several days in Oroville last
week, leaving for his home Monday.
Mr.. Strickland was given an opportun-
ity under the guidance of ]. w. Doug
las to see much of the Okanogan VAL
ley and the various mining properties
in this vicinity. He expressed much
surprise at the evidence of extensive
ore deposits, and was charmed with
the appearance of the valley. 1t was
Mr.. Strickland's first visit to this part
oil eastern Washington, and he was
most favorably impressed with the
town and country. He predicted that
Orovile would yet become a place Of
considerable Importance owing to its
favorable location and the vast extent
of tributary country. Mr. Strickland
is successful promoter himself and
has much influence among investors
who have great confidence in his judy
ment. AS result of his observations
| it is probable that large amount of
capital will find investment in this
part of the county, and there is hardly
ii safer place for investment in the en-
tire state.

That pure and guileless, amiable and
loQuacious old party by the name of
kegley, who poses as carrying the
farmer vote around in his vest pocket,
and who has not hesitated to use that
assumed power as bludgeon to in
timidate legislators, is opposed to that
amendment that provides for an hon
est expression of the people in the
exercise of the initiative and referen-
dunn. This was to be expected. Mr..
kegley is one of the men who can
smile at fraud, if by fraud an end can
be gained, or at least he uttered not
one word of protest against fraud as
perpetrated last year, when the su-
preme court declared the petitions
presented to the secretary of the
state were rampant with fraud" The
takes the power of coer-
cion out of the hands of schemers, and
hence the virtuous indignation dis
played by those who believe in resort
ing to scheming
