OFF FOR THE EAST.

Mai. Geo. Beall, Of Tonasket, who,
according to his own account, is entltl-
ed to Z front seat in the front ranks OF
The peoreers of the northwest, was IN
town Saturday and Sunday, leaving for
Buffalo, N. Y, Monday morning. The
Major says that his father, mother and
Grandmother are still living. The Major
evidently comes of an exceedingly long
lived family as he says his grand
mother is 1913 years Of age, his father
I1O3 and his mother 1902. The Major Is
no spring chicken himself as according
| to his calculation he has topped 70
Years with every appearance OF being
able to round out century, and then
some.
The Major CLAIMS that he left Winnie
peg with a pack train headed west In
1862, arriving on Osoyoos lake the
same year. Col. Kruger was then liv-
| ing in a small log cabin at the head OF
the lake Maj. Beall has continued to
reside in this comfy ever since his ar

|better known as "Tenas George" A.
1.-The time of his advent theie was only
three or four white men in the entire
upper country. What little goods wera
through in were packed in on fors =
Track from Walla Walla.
As the Major has never been east
since he left there some "a years ago
Ihe is going to have some surprises
Iwhen he reaches Buffalo. He does not

louaintances, even If he should be lucky

Ichances are that he will be so attract

THAT he will never return to the scenes

SOM e CORN.

During the spring Charlie Lewis form
led boys club on Ellemeham mountain
for the purpose of competing in the grow
ing OF field corn. Wednesday Mr.. Lewis
was in Oroville with samples Of corn
grown by Freddie Groulund, aged 3, and
Bror Groulund, aged IL which he was
shipping to the fair at Pateros for exhibi-
tion. The ears We're of yellow Dent. Min
nesota No IL variety. They were well
filled and of large size. The raising of this
corn is a great credit to the lads, and the
quality is really remarkable when it Is
understood that 1t was grown at an eeva-
ton of $500 feet, and that in a country
where corn has not heretofore been con-
sidered a staple crOn.

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

| Congressman-t Tom Corkery
was visitor in Oroville over Sunday
on a gum shoeing tour of the north
ern part of the district. 1t is Mr.. Cor.
kery's intention to visit Oroyille and
other towns OF the county later in the
campaign with clash of cymbals and
1lare OF red fire. When Thomas
strikes the county on a speaking tour
people should turn out en- masse and
hear him, as he carries message that
all will be interested in, and he has a
happy faculty of expression on the
stump that is not only entertaining and
instructive, but carries conviction to
the man who has a thinker to think
with. During this quiet and unosten-
tatious trip Mr.. Corkery was feeling
the pulse of the body polite, and he
has every reason to feel satisfied with
the discoveries that he made. He found
that public sentiment favored a return
to republican domination, and that he
has more substantial backing than he
was aware of. Personally Mr.. Corkery
Is one OF those congenial gentlemen
who makes a most favorable impress
sion among all classes. Besides his
appealing personality Mr.. Cookery is a
fluent speaker, and man of more than
ordinary ability, splendidly equipped
by legislative experience to fill the Of
flce for which he Is candidate. In
congress he would make his presence
leit and soon take a place among the
most influential members of that body
A young man of pleasing presence,
strong, mentality, with vim and ener-
gy to do things, he would make a
representative in congress that would
be credit to the state. Mr.. Corkery
has the good fortune to have a very
strong following in Spokane city and
county, the pivotal county in the dis
trict, as his heavy vote in the primary
election goes to show, and he will
come out of Spokane with very large
majority at the general election. That
majority is going to be very largely
augmented by the vote of the other
counties in the district, for he is go
ing to carry them all with more or less
of a lead. Under prevailing conditions
it requires no son of prophet to pre-
dict his election in November.
