Joe Rice was over from LoOmis last
week, and while in town pushed his
Subscription along another year, re-
marking that he could not keep house
without the Gazette. We have had SIM
liar pleasant greetings from the thous-
and Gazette readers, and it is an en-
Encouragement to keep a digging, even
when the digging is not happy eXer-
else.
1t is keeping the farmers on the hill
hustling to get that million dollar
wheat crop in before snow falls. 1t is
understood that it will be week or
two before all the grain is cut. Three
or four seasons ago the farmers of
that locality met with heavy loss
lowing to the early fall of snow, but
that is not liable to happen again in a
generation.
f. r. Hershberger, the democratic
nominee for commissioner from the
First district. was in town Friday last
on business. Mr.. Hershberger is not a
politician, but an Industrious and sue
cessful farmer, and should he be elect
ed commissioner he will bend every
effort to minimize the cost of RUM
ing the county government. He is go
ing to make strong run for the office
n November.
Last week in mentioning the location
of a grain and hay buyer in Oroville an
error was made in the name of the gen.
tleman at the head of the business en-
lterprise. The chief mover in supplying
this much needed grain buying house
is e. j. Waldref, and he is doing bust
mess under the name of the Farmers
Grain & Storage Company. That there
was a place here for business of this
kind was shown in the fact that con-
i.erable produce has already been
delivered, and farmers are expressing
their satisfaction that they are assured
of a market at this point, with cash
payments on delivery.
Tom Cookery, the republican NOM
Iinee for congress got as far into Okla
hogan county during the past week as

GENTLY met with the Spokane chamber
los commerce urging assistance for the
building of State Road No. 4. That is
not a popular cutlery in this county
1.-The main artery of travel in Okanogan
lentitled to state aid until completed
is State Road No. 10. 1t would be the
height of foolishness to leave that
lhighwty in its present uncompleted
Iccndition and divert state aid to other
roads in the county. When that work
partially finished, is completed every
body will join in to aid State Road
No. 4. If there is any keen division o.
sentiment on this question at this time
the chances are that Okanogan count,
will receive no aid at all. There is ne
use spilling the beans at this stage O.
proceedings.
