plans for 1920-21.
% Continuing the plan begun last
fall on the main line and lining the
fumes with metal, the work to be done
this winter will line all fumes on the
main line except one mile.
(2) The south branch line will be
improved by the use of cement lining
some 5000 feet of earth ditch and
about 1900 feet OF flume will be metal
lined.
This Improvement means that the
main line will carry 80 second feet of
water more than it has heretofore car
ried. and the south branch line viii
carry 20 second feet. An additional ~
second feet will furnish water for
5000 acres of land. This means 10
per cent. increase in water supply for
every acre of land or total supply OF
seven inches per acre.
This information is gained from En-
gineer Zediker and from the increased
efficiency obtained from the improve
ments made last year it Is reasonable
to expect that this increase will be re
allied.
There will be the added security of
certain delivery which is of vital i'm
portance. 1t will also enable the man
agement to devote much of the expen-
diture of money and time heretofore
required for the main line to other
parts of the system and result in an
increased efficiency throughout the en-
tire district.
A report is current that the annual
assessment might be as high as S17.O0
per acre. This report is not correct.
. The exact levy will not be determin
ed until September goth or later, but
the board does not expect the levy to
be much more than $1,000 and less
than s11.00 per acre.
The law requires that in making the
levy the board shall provide 10 per
cent for expected delinquencies. This
percentage is based on the amount
levied for the special purpose Of i'm
provements. Until the final estimates
the exact amount can not be determin-
ed, but as before stated the levy will
be very close to $1,000.
After considering the matter care

People may wonder why Webster
ran so strong in OkanOgan county
One reason is that dirty, foul, father
less, scurrilous sheet loaded with the
vilest of lies about Webster was cir
culated in this county a day before
election. That is an archaic method of
electioneering only INDUCED in by the
most depraved and unreliable politi-
clans. Such methods always prove to
be boomerang, and such was the
case in this instance. No man with a
claim to responsibility or honesty
would take part in such an act, and
no man with common sense or decency
could be influenced by these eleventh
hour personal attacks upon the char
acter Of candidate. In this case no
name was attached to the publication
and hence no one for a moment believ-
ed a single statement that the publica-
ton contained. Those responsible for
the issue of this broadsde did not
have the CUTS to father the still born
abortion.

1t was the custom not so long ago
for people to note with some degree
of awe the appearance of a new car on
the streets, and the man with a suffi-
cient number of bones and nerve to
make such an investment was to be
envied. The local paper also devoted
some space to praising ''our enterpris-
ing fellow townsman" and descrip-
ton of his new possession. Nowadays
the car is come to be looked upon as
almost as necessary in the family as a
kitchen range, and the man who does
not own one is getting to be in the
meagre minority. or very near so. The
purchase of new auto is worth only
line to the purveyor of news, and
even purchases have become so fire.
quent that the purveyor is unable to
keep tab on the investors. Car buying
has become so common that if any
mention is made of such transactions
1t is generally an announcement such
as Tom Dick or Harry, and usually
several others. have purchased this,
that or the other car during the past
week. Never in history has money been
spent so gayly and prodigiously for
things that men could do without.

Wonder if Mr. Cookery will bob up
serenely two years hence and come
before the people of the Fifth District
as candidate for congress? This is
the third or fourth time he has taken
fall out of the proposition with I'M
fortunate results. Probably no man
ever entered a race for office so cock
sure of success as was Mr.. Cookery
when he received the endorsement of
the Dolly Warden convention at Yaki-
ma, made up of all the discontents
and disgruntled elements in the state.
And pity tbs that a man like Cookery
should accept the endorsement of
combination made up of discortents
when he has always been a republic
can.

only upon the strength of a small mi
nority of all the votes cast for that
particular office. No matter who wins
the vast majority of voters were
against the successful candidate This
does not make for harmony or a united
party. Hot campaigning leaves sore
spots. and the defeated candidates AMI
their friends and followers are not al :
ways willing to accept just what they
might have expected and their support
OF the successful candidate is too of
ten perfunctory, if it does not take the
shape of actual opposition. Every
straw vote before the primary showed
how sentiment was drifting, but those
receiving the smaller vote would not
take the hint. Hope springs eternal
and perhaps there was not one of the
defeated candidates who did not really
believe that he was sure of the nomin-
alton.

1t is strange how many people can
be led to believe that people are anx-
ious to have them fill "a certain office.
In our experience since the adoption
OF the primary law We have never met
a self announced candidate for any Of
flee. no matter how many other can
didates for the same office may be in
the field, who did not believe, up to
the day of the primary election, that
he had cinch on the nomination. OF
couse this optimistic feeling is created
by the disposition on the part of the
average elector to encourage every
candidate who approaches him with
a promise OF support at the polls. If a
candidate received every vote that was
promised him during the campaign
prior to election he would be nominal
ed by an overwhelming majority, but
alack-a-day, the kindly voter does not
like to turn down a candidate in cold
blood when solicited and he is inclined
to prevaricate as to his intentions
when it comes to voting. This unfor-
tunate practice leads the disappointed
candidate to conclude that all men are
liars.

What farce has been the race for
governor on the republican ticket be-

the office and every one claiming at

that he had the best of it. This multi

mistake, and very expensive one for
some Of the gentlemen who have chas-
ed the bubble ambition to see it dissolve
into air. 1t made no difference who
might secure the nomination in the

The republicans of this county had
nerves before the primary election.
They suffered under the impression
that the goblin nonpartisan party was
going to eat up all republican candi-
dates blood raw. They are a false
alarm. There are too many sane people
who are tired of the prevailing agita..
ton and demagogy. At heart the
mass of the voters are for America
and democrats form of government.
They do not want the Russian soviet
grated on to this country, nor do
they believe that the government
should be dictated to or dominated
over by any one class of people. This
element of discomfort will learn after
while that they can fool some of the
people all the time. and all of the peo
pie some Of the time. but they cannot
fool all the people all the time, to
quote from the martyr Lincoln, who
always stood for law and order and
the right.

There is nothing to it, Harding will

the 4th Of next March. The Maine cleo.
ton Monday settled that question be-
yond a shadow of a doubt. AS Maine
goes. so goes the Union and Maine
went hell bent for the republican tick
ct Monday. Had Maine given the re-
publican ticket 10000 majority it
would have cooked the democratic
goose. 1t was all the most sanguine re-
publican could hope for. Why, the
democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent spoke in Bangor Saturday night
preceding the election and in his
Judgment at the time the democrats
might expect to carry Maine. What did
Maine do to smother the hopes of de-
mocracy? Why. the old rock ribbed re-
publican state turned out a republican
majority Of $4,000 Whoopala, that
shows how the cat is going to Jump in
November. All the sophestry at the
command of democratic orators or
democratic press cannot dispell the
gloom. Maine has set the pace. the
balance of the country will follow the
example on the ides of November
