SHOWING UP THE THIRD PARTY.

Fighting Dan" Richter, of Fargo.
North dakota, spoke in the Civic
League building Saturday evening tn
rather a small crowd, but those pres.
ent were keenly interested in all be
SAD and had their eyes opened to the
extreme radicalism of the nonpartisan
program in North Dakota, that would
put even the soviets of Russia 70 tba
olush Mr.. Richter spoke from docu-
mentary evidence and invited any ona
10 ask questions, but his proof was 80
pam and uncontrovertible that no
one mad a question to ask, nor no one
entered denial of the statements thar
ne made. Mr.. Richter had not one word
TO say against the farmers of his home
state, as they entered the movement
with the best of Intentions. but he
scored the socialist leaders who once
In power welded that power with an
autocratic sternness never approached
Dy the most despotic czar of Russia. He
showed up how the political banking
system OF North Dakota worked. and
gave figures to prove that none of the
state owned and operated institutions
were paying. He read laws passed by
the last nonpartisan legislature that
were infamous in their object, but for.
tunately for the state they were SUBJ
mitted to the voters and were turned
down by heavy majorities. But the
mere TACT that legislative majority
could formulate and pass such laws
shows what can be expected from the
nonpartisan party should it get a Sc
cure foothold in any state. Mr.. Rich
ters exposed the methods employed
Dy the nonpartisan leaders to in
Ject atheism and free love in the pub
lie schools and public Libraries Of
that state. 1t was only because a hue
and cry was raised against this polu-
ton OF the minds of children that the
circulation of books that would not be
permitted in decent family was pre-
vented. Mr.. Richter stated that at the
last primary election the nonpartisan
party was all but knocked out in |
North Dakota. Three of the laws pass
ed by the legislature were killed and
only a very few nonpartisan officials |
nominated, and that by very reduced |
vote. He predicted that North Dakota |
would be purged of the incubus at the |
November election. Mr.. Richter point
ed out that the so-called Farmer-Labor
party in this state was only the non-
partisan party cloaked in a new name.
and that Bridges, the third party can
didate for governor boasts on. the
stump that he is in favor of the North
Dakota nonpartisan laws and would
advocate passing the same laws in this !
state should he be elected.

CRIPPLED INDUSTRY.

If present conditions III the cattle
market are to continue 70 prevail ther,
is going to be marked shrinkage in
the cattle industry Of this county. Not
only are prices becoming so low that
there is hardly margin enough in the
business to encourage the increase of
herds, but the present marketing
system is anything but satisfactory to
cattle men. In former ye5ss cattle buy
ers invaded the county Id the fall and
offered prices for cattle fyo. b., at chip
ping point on the railroad. For the
past two or three years those buyers
have not appeared on the scene Under
the present arrangements cattle men
must ship their cattle to the stock
yards of the large cities, pay COM
mission to secure buyers, stand tbs
cost Of upkeep at the stock yards, pay
freight and meet all Incidental ex-
penses that were formerly shouldered
by the itinerant buyer This puts the
seller in hole He taks his cattle to
the city and must then accept what.
ever price Is offered. If he happens to
reach the market when the market IS
glutted with live stock he must take
his chances and is forced to accept al
most any price, for the value Of his
shipment would soon disappear with
the expense of feeding, which is al
ways at the top notch, and incidental
expenses. The shipper has no recourse
for protection, for if he does not wan,
to take the prices quoted he cannot
afford to ship his cattle back to the
range. He is properly up against it,
Just at present the market price is not
such as leaves much Of a margin to
the cattleman.

Saturday Ferris Ford, of the Loomis
Cattle Company, shipped three car
loads of beef cattle from this place
to the Seattle markets. The cattle were
driven to Oroville from the Similka-
meen valley. following the new road
between Nighthawk and Oroville.

COMMUNICATED.

MIR. Dallam While bending my
back picking tomatoes for the cannery
I have been thinking what a cores
pondent in your paper said last week
about Oriental labor. AS an owner Of
land to rent it would be decided fl
nancial advantage to have such labor
here, and l also have my bit in the
cannery, too. But if we cannot run a
cannery without Cinnamon and Japs
lets do without the cannery. If we get
them in, every eating house would
have a chink cook within three months
and the growing of tomatoes would
very soon be monopolized by them. As
an American citizen and for the good
of Okanogan county I say no Japs or
chinks. One who lived for six years
among them.

Word was received at Loomis We'd
nesday that Dan F. Mulchaey' a pio-
neer prospector and cattle man OF that
locality, had died at st. Paul that
morning. There are no particulars as
to the cause of death. Some two weeks
ago MIR. Mulchaey, who had been IN
declining health for several months
left in company with his sister, Miss
Maria Mulchaey, for Rochester, for
treatment at the Mayo Bros, hospital.
When Mr.. Mulchaey reached st. Pau
he had to be taken to a hotel in a
wheeled chair, and from there, after
consultation with a physician. he was
taken to st. Luke's hospital, where ne
died. 1t is understood that the remains
will be taken to Massachusetts, for
burial Owing to the late arrival OF the
news of the death more extended no
tice cannot be given of the deceased
in this issue.

5. u. Manweiler left Tuesday morn
ing for Spokane with $40 head of
sheep. If the market at Spokane Is nor
satisfactory Mr Manweiler will take
the sheep on to Omaha.
Joe Lenton, one of the first settlers
in the Similkameen valley, and the
date of his arrival is back further than
the mind of man runneth, was a busi-
ness visitor in town Friday.
There is a larger attendance at ths
Oroville high school than any term in
the history of the school, and that at
tendance will be increased as soon
as the fruit harvest is over.
Frank w. Taylor, manager of the
Standard Oil plant at this place, left
for Tacoma last Friday morning to
visit with relatives. He expected to be
absent week or ten days.
Salmon are running in the Okanogan
and Similkameen rivers and Indians
are busy solving the problem of the
high cost of living by stabbing enough
OF these fish with their long handled
spears to provide a winters supply
Of meat.
This office is informed that Ed.
Schrock, of the cattle firm of Schrock
& Binnard, with large holdings in the
Similkameen valley, has purchased all
OF Joe Allimandi's cattle, some $50
head, and is to ship the animals to
Montana to winter.
The social given by the Knights of
Pythias in Odd Fellows hall Tuesday
evening was largely attended by men,
bers, their families and invited friends.
The evening was passed in dancing
and card playing, and a toothsome
lunch was served at midnight.
Orchardists in this locality are in
the midst of apple picking and pack
ing, but the harvest will be small In
comparison with what it was last
year. While here and there are trees
bearing heavily, in the main, the Yield
will hardly be more than 60 per cent
OF what 1t was last year. The quality
OF the fruit has in no wise suffered
from the reduction in the quantity
produced.
Manager Frank of the Oroville Motor
company, reports that following the
Ford announcement of a cut in tho
price of cars the business for some
days went up in the air. but sales are
back to normal and the company Ia
turning off cars and trucks again in
the good old way. Among the sales for
the past week were two tractors ship
ped over the line into British Colum-
bia. The outlook is encouraging for a
good winter business and a general re-
vival of activity next spring, with the
handsome new models coming to the
front, for every year new attractions
are added to cars and the public is
keen for new and up-to-date gasoline
boats.
Frank w. Bartell, local agent for the
Studebaker cars, has received word
that there has been material reduc-
ton in the prices of Studebaker cars
This announcement states that there
will be no cheapening Of the quality OF
these cars. Mr.. Bartell is not prepared
to state what the new price of the Stu
debakers will be in Oroville, as he has
not yet obtained a line on the new
freight rates, which are an increase
over the old rates, and freight rates
cut figure in the price Of anything
that comes through to this point by
rail.

The proposition to shift the fight

THE AGE OF THIS OLD WORLD

earth arbitrarily at 100000 years,
represented by a clock dial of "a hours

On the above basis the first six hours
of the clock represents Azoic time, the
earliest conjectural period of the
earth's formation-180 100000 years: the
next six hours Eozoic and the next
eight Palzoic time-1S 600. 600 and "a
100000 years neutrality-suspicious. of
mineral and vegetable formations. In
the next three hours animal life de-
veloped-MecoZoic time, 100000 years
that is, from the twentieth to the
twenty third hour. Thus the last hour
of the 24-3.000,000 years of GEOLOGIC
time-represents Neozoic time, which
includes the appearance of human life
in the Quaternary period.
This last division of the "a hours,
the Quarternary period, is shown as
only 10 minutes-in other words 500,-
900 years. The existence of human life
OH the earth, therefore, bears the same
relation to the age of the earth as 10
minutes does to "a hours. But since
the period of written history is esti-
mated roughly at only 5000 years, this
last division is not shown on the chart.
