4 PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE,

Word reaches this office that Judge
c. H. Neal of this place, will in all
probability be candidate before the
primaries for the position of Judge of
this judicial district, composed of Fer
ry and Okanogan counties. Our inform
ant intimates that Judge Neal has
reached this decision upon the under
standing that Judge Pendergast will
not be candidate TO succeed himself
Judges in this state are selected on
a non-partisan ballot, as they should
be, and although this paper is unmis
takably republican, and Judge Neal is
Enthusiastically democratic, the Gazette
takes more pleasure than can be ex-
pressed in cold type endorsing his can
didacy, because the editor has known
the gentleman long and intimately as a
private citizen and in official life, and
has no hesitancy in saying that the
ermine will never be sullied while
worn by Judge Neal.
Aside from his personal worth Judge
Neal is better equipped by practice end
experience for the judgeship than any
attorney within the district. He served
in that capacity in a district of which
Okanogan county was unit a number
lof years ago and made reputation for
honesty, justice, and -mindedness
in his decisions. Taking his past record
las judge and his personal popularity
Throughout this district, his nomination
which means his election, is a foregone
conclusion. About the only thing that
stands in the way of this paper giving
him a hearty support is the fact that
his election would mean his removal
from Oroville. However, as the distance
to the place to which he would
move is not great. and the going
generally good, the judges friends
here would have an opportunity to
see him frequently should he be chosen
TO the judgeship and his loss could be
reconciled in the knowledge that Il
worthy man had been elevated to po-
sition of great responsibility and trust,
and that he is the man to fill that posi-
ton right

WHY IS 1T THUS!

Within the past sixty days there
have been two very marked advances in
prices of printers stockholm paper
and ink. The supply housese have is
sued advance price lists, but the News
still turns out better paper for less"
and better Job printing at the same
old popular prices"
The above extract is from the The
saw News, and illustrates better Than
could a volume of words WHY most of US
country publishers are scratching the
nip pocket Of a poor man The most
absolutely unbusinesslike business
man in the whole country is the aver
age country printer. He does more
work gratis than does any othe~ man,
or class OF men, depending upon labor
for livelihood. Besides giving away
freely the source of his substance he
IL either too short-sighted, or too cow
afdly, in the fear of losing patronage,
TO ask fair price for the work he
does. In fact, few printers take into
consideration overhead charges in fig
uring on work, and do not consider
their own time of any value when fix
ing price on job, and in fear that
they may charge enough to leave
fair margin of profit, and thus lose the
JOB, they will take the work at price
that really means loss. This practice
Is not charged up to any particular in
dividual newspaper man. Most OF us
can be classed in the same category
and the writer is one of the cats.
The advance the News mentions in
stock prices is not a trifie. In some in
stances 1t is from 100 to 300 per cent.
Why, in almost the last mail receiyedI
at this office from paper house the
warning was given that the house

would not hold itself responsible LOT
the prices quoted in the very last price
list. owing to the rapidly Initiating mar
ket. And yet our neighbor proclallns
that he is not going to take that ex-
traordinary advance in prices into c)n-
sideration when figuring on an order
for Job work. That means that ne Is
going to be just so much of loser. He
manages to secure enough TO meet the
advanced price of the goods and throws
in his labor as present. That generos-
ity is admirable. but the lack OF Gls-

consider this suggestion OF any great
inheritance. In that, they are lgnor-
ant of prevailing popular sentiment
among the thrifty intelligent, mdus-
trious and progressive residents OF the
farming communities in the more
ropulous east. And that is the only
class of desirable people, the only
class that is competent and capable OF
making a complete transformation In
this valley. and the class that all are
anxious to see come here, secure lana
ard amply their best efforts TO improv-
ing the land TO the highest stage OF
productiveness. But those people want
something more than land as an in

life. They must know that they can
find the church in which they nave
been accustomed TO worship. anu
schools where their offsprings can
secure an education and prepare them
selves for the battle of life. Without
those advantages it would be difficult
to induce the kind of people wanted to
locate in this valley and build them
selves permanent homes.

we're unnecessarily sacrificed, occur
red ON the Milwaukee road, at Cheney
sunday morning. One passenger train
was standing on the track at the depot

into the rear coach of the stationary

crushed to death and number injured.

Floods following the recent thaw at
Wilson Creek, on the Great Northern
between Spokane and Wenatchee, did
vast amount of damage to public,
railroad and private property. Inc
flood was unprecedented in that por-
ton of the state The town of Wilson
Greek was completely inundated and
street travel was by means of boats.
Business of all kinds was suspended
for several days. Trains could not get
through and considerable freight was
routed around by the way of Oroville.
Railroads are certainly having their
share OF misery this winter.

change artist-for a consideration il
the way OF political preferment-has
announced, his abandonment o. the
progressive party and return 10 the
folds of the republican party. If Mr..
Paulhamus is not a candidate for gov
ernor, or some other office, ther one
can feel that his action is disinter .Sted
and the result of an honest change of
heart, but we will miss our guess If
he is not out for something in the way
OF office before the new year is many
weeks older. These spasms of virtuous
switch of front generally have an OBJ.
oct, anr that object self-aggrandize-
ment. Mr.. Poindexter has earned an
unenviable reputation for keeping his
ear to the ground and switching poll
tics with the ebb and flow of public
sentiment, and he is having numerous
imitators. However, there is one very
satisfactory feature in this rapid
sloughing of political skin. 1t proves
|concdusiyely that these apostates see
and interpret the hand writing on the
wall, and are satisfied that this IS p
republican year. Otherwise they would
not be so keen to flop back with an
expectation of reward. Their action can
bear no other explanation. Those who
return to the republican party, in good
faith, after having strayed away after
strange gods, are royalty welcomed
All differences can be buried, ard a
united party can work for a common
end. Those who change simply in the
hopes of securing office are not en-
titled to the glad hand and the m
wavering allegiance of the rank and
