The announcement of F. r. Hersh-
berger, democratic candidate for coun-
ty commissioner from the First dis
trict, appears in another column. Also
a letter of endorsement from neigh
bors, signed by republicans, democrats
and socialists, showing the confidence
placed in him by those who have lived
near him for years, and hence are in q
position to be thoroughly familiar with
his character and qualifications. Mr..
Hershberger is a young man, a sue
cessful farmer, and takes an active in
terest in community affairs. He is a
capable man, strictly upright, and as
la tax payer Is personally interested
in SO conducting the county business
that full value should be received for
every dollar of public money spent.
His platform Is one that should ap-
peal directly to every property
owner and voter. There are no frills on
that platform, but straight statement
direct from the shoulder. In a nutshell
1t is "a business administration Of
of county affairs. Economy and Eff
cheney. Better roads. A square deal to
all sections of the county. Special fav-
ors to none" 1t Is platform without
a weak spot, and what is more 1t Is not
promulgated for the purpose of "catch-
ing flies," but a succinct declaration
as to what Mr.. Hershberger stands for
and what he will live up to If elected.

AN OLD TIMER

Hon. r. w. Starr, of Pateros, spent
Sunday in Oroville, and as Mr.. Starr is
one Of the democratic war horses Of
the county 1t is safe guess that he
was on a pussy-footing expedition
among the faithful. Outside of politics
Mr.. Starr is a decidedly pleasing and
likeable gentleman. 1t Is not so pleas
ant to know him II you are on the op-
posite side of the political fence dur
ing a political campaign, for Mr.. Starr
is a keen, shrewd worker, and mover
knows when he 10 licked. However, we
have always found him playing the
game fair, as fair as politics san be
played, an no one knowing him thinks
any the less of the man on that score,
wLother rowing In the same boat or
nor. Mr.. Starr Is a pioneer Of Douglas
and Okanogan counties, and has taken
a rominent and active part in public
affairs for years. He is a lawyer by
profession, and of late years has dab
bled in the orchard industry by choice.
He served for four years as register
of the United States land office at Wa
terville, stepping into the land Office
at the time the exigencies Of politics
threw the writer out Of the same office
into the cold, cold world. After the
close of his administration Mr.. Starr
moved upon large tract of land near
the mouth OF the Methow. where hd
has since been living. Mr.. Starr Is not
as young and sprightly as when we
first knew him, but he Is the same gem
|ial gentleman he was a quarter Of a
|century ago.

A DISAPPOINTED CANDIDATE.

Tom Corkery, the republican candi-
date from the Fifth district, was a dis
|appointed man Tuesday. He has been
making a whirlwind campaign Of the
county this week, and through an over
Isight of those who framed up his itin-
/ cry failed to bill him at Oroville where
he was especially anxious to make a
speech. His disappointment was so
great that when he reached Tonasket
and found that he was not to address
1.-THE people of OrOville he telephoned
| up that he would come to OrOville on
| the night train from Wenatchee and
speak in the lobby of the Hotel de
|Grubb. Unfortunately the train was
late, the weather disagreeable and only
a rev were at the hotel to greet him on
his arrival, but he received a cordial
reception from those present.
Tuesday was a strenuous day for

place he has visited. Even after the
! hard day he had the pluck to make the
Itrip to Oroville, showing him to be

strain, and is very much ENCOURAGED
iby the reception that he is meeting

Last week a resident Of this place
travelling over the route between Oro-
Vile and Loomis reported an auto
mobile wrecked at the foot of the hill
on the grade above the old Dave Smith
place, one of the most dangerous
stretches of roadway in this vicinity
that has never been improved because
the road leads towards Oroville. In
uuiries were made of numerous peo-
pie in the hopes of obtaining some in
formation as to the cause of the acci-
dent and the identity of the owner OF
the car, but no one seemed to know
anything about the wreck. From par
ties in from Loomis Saturday 1t was
learned that the car was owned by
Charles Silverthorn, who runs an auto
stage between Loomis and Night
hawk, and the machine was driven
by Frank Stone when it went over the
grade. 1t appears that Mr.. Stone met
a team coming up the grade as he was
going down, and he turned off to the
edge of the road. The bank commence
ed giving way and Mr.. Stone got out
of the car to try and prevent 1t from
going over the bank. His efforts were
unavailing and the machine rolled
down the hill and was totally wreck

Allen Wetzel, of Winthrop, was a
visitor in town Monday. Mr.. Wetzel is
Ia member of the Little-Wetzel Cattle
company, and is we'll known through
|out the county, and furthermore, we'll
liked wherever known. The only hand
Mr.. Wetzel Is taking in politics this
year is opposition to his brother-in-law
IF. J. Baker, whom the democrats have
brought out as representative. Mr..
Wetzel does not believe that the Me-
|thow should have a candidate for both
Joint senator and representative, be-
sides the MethOw came out flat-footed,
before primaries, and regardless Of
political affiliations, for Mr.. Bolinger
for joint seantor. Mr.. Baker made the
statement in a public meeting that it
was the duty Of all residents of the
Methow valley, without regard to polit-
ical leanings, to secure the nomination
|of Mr.. Bolinger, advising democrats to
call for republican ballots at the pri-
|maries, and subsequently support Mr..
|Bolinger at the general election. Un-
|der these circumstances Mr.. Wetzel
does not feel that Mr.. Baker has acted
fair or Just in permitting his name to
be used. As Mr.. Wetzel comes from a
family of lifelong democrats there is
nothing political in his opposition to
Mr.. Banker.
