SURPRISED VISITOR.

X. Lewis Rutter, who has been con.
nected with one of the leading banks
OF spokane for years, and who is con-
sidered as among the foremost finan.
ciers OF the state, was a visitor In
town Saturday. Mr.. Rutter, with
friends, was on long motor trir
through OkanOgan county, having GOV.
cred both the MethOw and Okanopar
valleys, and even extending the trip to
Penticton. 1t was his first visit to Orc
vile In dozen years, and he express.
ed himself as surprised at the great
transformation that has taken place
IN the county since his last visit. He
round vast stretches of country that
were only a barren waste a dozen
years ago now covered with velvet
alfalfa fields and highly productive
orchards. He had heard of the changes
mat had taken place but the extent
and character Of these changes could
not be realized until after personal
observation. He not only predicted
still greater changes in the country
during the next few years, but ex-
pressed himself as satisfied that oro-
ville was destined to become quite a
large and flourishing city. He stated
mat IN all the trip, during which he
mad visited many towns, that there was
not a town between Spokane and this
part OF the state that presented such
evidences OF substantial growth, nor
SUCH a healthy, modern, citified an.
pearance as Oroville.

1t would seem that those entitled t.
a vote require great deal Of urging
this year to get their names upon the
register. In order to vote it is abso-
lutely necessary to be registered and
there are only few days left in which
one can get his or her name upon the
registration books. 1t is just as vitality
important this year to vote at the pri
mary election as it is to vote at the
general election. You can rest assured
that every nonpartisan is registered,
for the man who is willing to pay SIS
for the privilege of joining a party Is
going to be sure of getting his money
worth by voting whenever the oppor-
tunity presents. Let democrats and re-
publicans show equal zeal in perform
ing citizens duty, for they can ex-
ercise the privilege of voting without
paying for it. There are three precincts
in Oroville, and it is doubtful if 80 per
cent of the voters have so far taken
the trouble to see that their names
are on 4he books. Registration closes
August "a, only eighteen days from The
date of this paper. We do not care
what your party affiliations may be.
The urge to register is extended to all
people entitled to vote. Do it today. DO
not put it off until tomorrow. The last
week or two before the primaries the
clerk will have the books at the town
hall But do not wait until that time or
YOU may forget il. Register.

In another column is published an
announcement fathered by Tom Cor
kerry, candidate for congress from
a meeting of the radical elements OF
the state at Yakima in convention as
sembled. Space is given Mr.. Corkery
in which to say his say, partially
because he has no organ of his party
up this way through which he can
reach the public, and partially because
we know Mr.. Cookery and had much
respect for him until he permitted his
name to be used by an element that
would put the Independent country
press out of business IL it could, and
which would disrupt the government
and establish the Russian brand Of
chaos If it had the power. Granted that
in his zeal of campaigning Mr.. Cork
cry plays upon the prejudices of peo-
pie, and tries to array class against
class, we do not believe he is at heart
a Lenine or Trotsky, but he is training
with a crowd that endorses those cut
throats, and should he be elected by
their votes would have to truckle 20
their wishes and whims. All his violent
assertions that he is, has been and al
ways will be a republican are cheap
|camouflage, for true and loyal repub.
lican is too honorable to go into the
primary of another party to steal a
nomination and that kind of repub-
lican is for America upon the broad
principles laid down in the cOnstitu-
ton, will not affiliate with the dislOyal
and the anarchist and believes that
this government is as good govern
ment as human hands can formulate.
Mr.. COrkery's name was never public
ally mentioned in connection with the
congressional nomination before the
assembling of this varigated body OF
disgruntled, and in the face of all his
denials his candidacy cannot be freed
of the tar of -partisanship. Had
Mr.. Cookery come out as republican
candidate to take his chances in the
primary election, without the handi-
cap of his presnt endorsement. this
paper would have wished him we'll.
This does not mean that this paper
would have supported him withor
reservation, for the editor believes
that in justice to worthy representa-
tive who has worked constantly and
consistently for the people of this dis
trict Mr.. Webster should be returned

heads off few years agJ against the
practice of the republicans anG demo-
Gratis making nominations through the
medium of county and sta1e cunven-

system. We do not know as We can
blame them much after several years
experience selecting officials by the
