John P. Deering of Saco Saturday
made the following statement:

figures in regard to the election shall

close.
"Mr. Parkhurst will carry Hancock.
Washington and Penobscot. He will
not receive as many votes in Wash

years ago and will receive about the
same number in Hancock.

have found in my canvass Of the
State that / was the second choice of
practically every Milliken man. as
people realized that we had worked
together on a great many matters
| which we both considered for the
best interests Of the people Of the
State. Since they have seen that
/ there is absolutely no chance or
nominating Gov. Milliken, because OF
the lack of active workers and prac-

| engendered in the contest of four
years ago. In the last two weeks the
Milliken strength has been badly

"No Parkhurst man has ever gone
| over to Milliken. When they change
they come to me. The noisy propo-
ganda Of four years ago, coupled with
I extravagant claims. has been en-
ployed again by Mr.. Parkhurst in this
campaign. 1t resulted in his being
defeated before. The predictions
| which he made four years ago before
the primaries were $4,000 out of the
way. He fooled his supporters then
and they consequently have no faith
in him at this time. Mr. Parkhurst

AFTER THE SHERIFFALTY.

Deputy Sheriff Eli Wilson. of Okla
hogan, was in town fbrsa few hours
Friday last on his way home from an
official trip to the northeast part of
the county Mr.. Wilson is candidate
for sheriff on the republican ticket
and by some inadvertancy his an
nouncement has failed to appear in
this paper. 1t should be remembered
that he is a candidate when the
readers of this paper enter the booths
at the primaries next Tuesday. Mr..
Wilson needs no introduction to the
residents of the Oroville precincts.
Prior to his appointment as deputy
sheriff Mr.. Wilson held the thankless
position of marshal of Oroville, and
his record in that office proves him to
be we'll fitted for the more RESPONSE
BILE position of sheriff of the county.
Quiet and unassuming, Mr.. Wilson
vet showed himself to be an active
and efficient peace officer. He per-
formed his duties fairly and fearless
ly and has shown the same ability as
an attachee of the sheriff's office.
Personally, Mr.. Wilson is an eXcep-
tionally pleasant gentleman, and dur
ing his residence here made friends OF
all with whom he came in contact.
unless it were breakers of the law,
and he was not seeking their friend
ship. If he is nominated and elected
sheriff Okanogan county will have
one of the best sheriffs in the state.

HEAVY SHAVE.

For a long time Canadian currency
has been taken here at discount but
ND to a recent date Canadian silver
circulated cheek by jowl with Ameri-
lean silver and no notice was taken
of the foreign coin in the daily trans
action of business. 1t is now different.
The banks of the larger cities of the
state issued notice that Canadian
coin would not be accepted at its face
value and the practice of discounting
has reached the smaller towns. This
fluctuation of Canadian money works
a hardship along the border as mu2h
of it has in the past found circulation
on this side of the line. In fact few
wears ago there seemed to be more
Canadian currency moving around
than United States money. To those
who know the stability of the Canad-
ian banks, and the general healthy
financial condition of the Dominion,
this rasping off of large percentage
,f the value of Canada's medium OF
exchange is hard to understand. II
will all come out in the wash after
while and Johnny Bulls dollar and
Uncle Sans dollar will go along the
commercial path hand in hand.

RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

10 the voters of the Fifth Congress
sional District:
So much misinformation has been
circulated throughout the district con
cerning my attitude toward labor leg
islation that | feel | should tell the
pubic the facts. During my service in
congress | took the following action
on bills of vital Importance to labor:
voted for an appropriation to main
tain the free federal employment Of
fices.
voted for the minim um wage bill
introduced by Congressman John l..
Nolan, formerly president of the In
ternational Boilermaker's Union. This
measure povides a minimum daily
wage Of $500 and covers the poorest
paid employees in government service.
voted against the amendment
which would deny this class of en-
ployes the benefit of the $40 a month
bonus. The bill as passed gives the
lowest paid employe $500 a day, plus
$4,000 a month bonus.
voted to establish bureau of
women in industry in the department
of labor.
| voted for the vocational rehabili-
tation bill, designed to educte at gov
ernment expense persons injured in
industry so that they may be inde-
pendent and self-supporting.
| voted to increase the pay of the
metropolitan police force also the pay
of members of the Washington, d. c.
fire department.
| supported the bill increasing the
pay Of all postal employees.
In my amendment to the railroad
bill | recognized the railroad brother
hoods and gave them four representa-
tives;on the board of wages and work
ing conditions.
| voted against the Blanton amend
ment which would deny to govern
ment employees the right to belong TO
unions
l voted for the civil service retire
ment bill, providing that faithful em-
ployes of the government may be pen
stoned.
voted for woman suffrage, a meas
ure strongly endorsed by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
In my amendment to the railway
bill / reserved to railroad employees
the right to strike if railway compan-
les failed or refused to live up to the
award of the commission.
also gave employees a right of ac-
ton against the railroads to recover
loss sustained by employees growing
out 81 the failure or refusal Of the
railroads to abide by the decision Of
the commission. l further provided
them with a reasonable attorneys fee
so that employees could recover their
damages without cost to themselves.
My attitude toward labor has been
presisely the same as it has been to-
ward any other class of American cit
izens have supported labor meas
ures when l considered them right
and have voted against them when
considered them wrong. This will be
nv course in the future.

HIS BUSY DAY.

A regular procession of autos and
teams passed through Oroville Mon
day headed for the promised celebra-
ton at Osoyoos' which proved to be
a celebration only in name. Customs
Officer CRUDE issued 203 permit
cards for vehoicles to cross the line
and only a half dozen of those cards
were issued to drivers of teams, the
balance to auto owners. AS each We
hicle contained at least five passen-
gers-a very moderate average
over 1000 people passed through Orc
Vile Monday enroute for Osoyoo5.
These cars came from all parts of the
valley, as far south as Brewster ano
some from a great deal longer dist
ance, for besides the promise of a day s.
sport there was an opportunity to
break the drouth that has prevailed in
Washington for several years, and
Judging from the reports received 8

$500 PER YEAR
ASSESSOR VALUATION.

From the report of the assessor just
recently completed it appears that
Okanogan county has made a rather
remarkable einwth as regards assess
able properly during the pass year. 1t
is altogether possible that property
that has escaped listing in the past
was discovered by the assessor this
year and taiS discovery would aid In
cling the total. A brief itiliizet
statemnt of the assessment of the
county appears in a late. issue of the
Okanogan Independent which is re-
published in the Gazette As a matter
OF important news to the taxpayers
of the county.
County Assessor Fore ma just COM
pleted an absfl act of the assessment
rolls of Okanogan county for this
years assessment, which shows a
healthy gain in assessed valuations
over last year. The 1920 assessment
Will be $11 1,639,120 exclusive of the
railroad assessment, this being hand
led by the state tax commission, and
which will be approximately 1,500 900
making total valuation of approx
imately $l3.000,000.
Last year the county's valuation,
exclusive of the railroad was $685.
0S0. This years gain is $3.744,O40, not
counting the railroad in either case.
The 1912 valuation was $6.775.745.
The following interesting compar-
isons are given for 1919 and 1920, also
1912, to show the increase in the past
few years:
Personal-1912, $1,S55,335; 1919,
$2,176,650; 1920, $2,7SO,555.
Real-1912, $4,92O,41O; 1919, $5,71S-
430; 1920, $S.S5S,575.
. In the year 1912 there were % auto
mobiles assessed in Okanogan county
while the 1920 report shows 1,471.
This years report shows the follow
ing figures in live stock:
$500 head cattle.
13,42S head horses
13,154 head sheep.
Mercantile stock assessments. $465-
$50.
Bank assessments, $1S0,000.
In 1912 there were 433,547 acres Of
patented land in Okanogan county,
while the 1920 assessment shows 7O7-
S9S, almost double in eight years. The
number of acres improved eight years
ago was 1926, while now it totals
1896.
