the individual farmers and shows him
how more profitable method may be
applied in a practical way.
The good results which follow the
employment of county agriculturist
are shown in every state in the union.
Counties which have employed man
are not letting go but are putting more
money into the work. There are now
1000 county men at work in the United
States and more being employed con
stantly. The county agriculturist is
worth thousands to county every
year. He gains the confidence of the
farmer because he is first of all a
farmer and because he practices as
well as breaches. He not only knows
but he sows.'

Arthur w. Davis, who served in the
late legislature as one of those almost
extinct mammals, so-called progress
sive, is Throwing rhetorical fits over
the bill that has for its object the
safe guarding of the initiative and ref
erendum. He is extravagant in his
reference to the Magma Charta OF i
newer age" and other rhapsodies that
play upon the prejudices of the un-
thinking without appeal to their rea-
son. Mr.. Davis is one of those who
would continue the riot of fraud that
was so openly and VIGOROUSLY indulg-
ed in last year by men who believe the
end justifies the means, no matter
how reprehensible the means. He ap-
peals to an audience that in the main
has never read the bill, and hence if
they accept Mr.. Davis Interpretation
must consider it monsterous en-
Croachment upon the rights of the peo-
pie. When the bill is understood it
therein that lessons a voters right
ole jot or title. No honest thinking
man can object to reducing the
chances Of fraud il one OF the most
important privileges vouchafed the
voter of this state, right of having
a direct voice in making the laws. Mr.
Davis, like many of his prototypes, in
this opposition to house bill No. 100 is
| working himself into a fever for poll
teal effect. He has no more real in.
terest in the dear people than the use
he can make of them, and he is trying
to use them in this instance through
| the medium of hysteria to defeat q
measure that at heart he knows is q
stumbling block in the way of fraud
and those who desire to resort t.
fraud in order to accomplish theil
purpose in the enactment of any ole
law they may desire to spring upor
the public.

In an editorial that appeared in the
last issue of the Chesaw News the
editor makes the following statement,
commenting on Representative Nickle's
effort to square himself with the peo-
pie of the northeast part of the coun-
ty: Mr.. Nickle was either asleep on
the job during the recent session of
the legislature or with a supineness
amounting almost to criminality per-
mitted the original survey of state
road No. 10 to be changed to run via
Oroville instead of Chcsaw, as the
road was originally laid out" Now
the News man is a new arrival in Okla
hogan county or he would not have
been led into this error of statement.
State road No. 10 is designated in
every report of the highway commits
sion as the "Wenatchee-O road.
When it was originally laid out and
the route designated it was to be con-
structed up the Okanogan valley to
Alma (now Okanogan), and thence
along the most feasible and practic-
able route to the British Columbia
line. By piece of political legerde-
main the late and sincerely lamented
NJ. L. Smalley, when senator from this
district, had the road switched off
from a point where Tonasket is now
situated to Chesaw. Even the News.
with its natural and proper loyalty
to Chesaw, will not pretend to claim
that that route is the most practic-
able and feasible ore to the British
Columbia line. The valley towns were
all in favor of extending the road on
water grade along the route originally
designated, and it was with that OBJ
Ject in view that they combined to Sc
cure the appropriation for that route.

again. j. c. Lawrence and R. w.

the advertised bargains. The sale

available to wait upon the people.

much credit for the success of the

We are delighted to learn that after
the closing out of the Calvert stock,
Mr.. Wender will remodel the entire
store-room and stock up with new
complete line of ready to wear gar
ments and shoes for men, women and
children at popular prices.
Il is a credit TO Woodstock that so

acknowledged that they also enjoyed
a good business. adv.
