G. B. Parks, of Omak, was In town

G. B. Parks, of Omak, was In town
Tuesday.
Following the instructions of the
prosecuting attorney. which was con-
Cured in by DR.. Lewis, Justice of the
Peace Parsons dismissed the case
against Otto Mills, in which the young
man was charged with taking DR..
Lewis car, running 1t to Bridesville
and wrecking it. The young man had
at all times declared his innocence OF
the crime and his friends will be pleas
Cd to learn that the charge was with
drawn by the constituted authorities.
We are always pleased to make
changes for regular advertisers. and
1.-THE best results are obtained In making
such changes, but we respectfully re-
quest advertisers to get in changes not
later than Tuesday. if that be possible.
When changes are brought In later in
the week it crowds the office work.
and not infrequently delays the publi-
cation OF the paper day. In order to
catch the rural routes we endeavor to
go to press with the last sides Thurs.
Iday afternoon.
Mrs. Georgia Loundigan, Of Chesaw.
was a guest of DR.. and Mgs. p. =. Elmer
|ovef Friday evening, and while In town
attended and greatly enjoyed the con-
cert at the Orpheum. Since the death
Iof her husband some two years ago,
Mrs. Loundagin has conducted a store
lat Chesaw and has proven to be bus.
mess woman of exceptional ability.
The lady also owns e tract OF land un-
der the local irrigation system, and
her friends in this place trust that at
Isome future time she may come down
into the valley and make her home.
A few days ago j. Fl. Killian was
exhibiting some cigars the wrappers Of
which were made from home grown
tobacco. So far as appearances are
concerned the cigarswere equal to any,
thing in that line imported, and those
who tasted the cigars pronounced them
to be as good as any In the market.
Mr.. Kilian, who Is a cigar maker by
trade and thus from experience Is in q
position to know and pass judgment
Iupon the merits of tobacco, states that
the local grown tobacco Is equal in
|eyery respect for wrappers to the
Connecticut or Florida grown tobacco.
THAT is certainly high recommended
|tion, and If the valley lands will grow
that class of tobacco in quantities.
There is no reason why tobacco grow
ling herabouts should not become an
Important and profitable industry. 1t
lis worth experimenting with, anyhow.
caucus has been called to meet at
the town hall next Tuesday evening
for the purpose of nominating candi'
dates for certain municipal offices.
| That is the customary method OF plac-
ing a ticket in the field at town elec-
Itions. The caucus is open to the entire
Ipublic, and the object is to name men
who will be satisfactory to the citi-
zens. Too often the caucus falls OF Its
purpose. Men will attend, take part,
i aid in the naming of candidates. and
then hold a star chamber session In
some obscure room, with few dis
gruntled present, name other candi-
dates and precipitate an unpleasant
contest. 1t would be a unique change
| in the old system if representative
body of citizens got together and nam
ed a list of candidates that can be sup
Iported by every resident, feeling as
sure that the men standing for office
would work for the best interests OF
the entire town.
C. w. Tage, travelling representative
of the Merganthaler Linotype COM
lpany, stopped over in Oroville last
Friday night on a trip through the
country. Mr.. Tage installed the No.
| ) model machine used in this office
some four years ago, and after his
leagle eye and dexterous fingers had
passed over 1t he declared that the
machine, which is a marvel OF human
ingenuity, to be in as good condition
as when first set up. Mr.. Tage reports
THAT the house is far behind in their
Iorders for typesetting machines, which
would indicate that hand set type,
even in country offices, Is becoming
lost art. Owing to the large territory
t.at lie has to cover Mr.. Tage makes
this county only at long intervals, 1t
being two years since his last visit. 1t
| is part Of his duty to keep In touch
with offices that have installed limo
types even after the machines have
been paid for, showing that the COM
pany have not lost interest In patrons
even after all financial obligations are
met
