rated at 100 per cent. but since the fate
ful day in October. 1918. when he took
his typewriter in hand and issued de-
rand that tho American people elect
Democratic Congress for the purpose or
sustaining him in his personal program
and based his appeal on the implication
that all OF the patriotism and all Of the

NEW TUBERCULOSIS NURSE.

The board of directors of the Okla
hogan County Anti-Tuberculosis
League have filled the place of visiting
nurse recently made vacant through
the resignation OF the former incum-
bent by employing Miss Althea L.
Steiert, recently of Milwaukee county,
wisconsin, and the executive commit
tee in recommending Miss Steiert to
the commissioners feel that they have
made wise selection and that the
work OF the League in this county will
be in capable hands.
Miss Steiert graduated from Mad
ison General hospital, Madison, Wis.,,
in 1914, and has specialized in tuber-
culosis work for three and a half
years. She had charge OF the receiving
ward for one year at the Milwaukee
county Sanitarium and after that was
employed as visiting tuberculosis
nurse in the same county for two and
a half years.
There will be an annual meeting of
the league early in the fall and DR..
Carey in all probability will be pres
ent and conduct clinics. Miss Sollibake
state manager of modern health cru
sade work will visit all the schools OF
the county this fall and give the pupils
comprehensive talks on health and
how to preserve it.

DECISION ON GAME LAWS.

For the information and guidance of
all parties interested the state fish and
game warden has issued the following
regarding the decision of the supreme
court just rendered in the case of
the State vs.. Thompson, appealed from
Columbia county:
In this decision the supreme cours
holds that county game commissions
may shorten a season already created
by the legislature, by closing or open-
ing it at times other than those speci-
fled by legislative enactment, but the
power Is not granted county gamo
commissioners to open seasons where
no seasonal regulation whatever is
provided or to lengthen the time of
season duly created by the law.
The decision means that where an
open season is provided by statute saw
for 10 days, this season may be short
ened by either providing a later OPEN
ing date, or an earlier closing date.
There are a number of counties i'm
the state in which the killing of Chi
nese pheasants and Hungarian part
ridges is prevented by statute and
where they have increased to such an
extent that the people generally would
| like to see their shooting in limited
way permitted. Under this decision.
these counties must await legislative
action as their county game commits
sions are powerless to give them re-
lief.

OKANOGAN AND OROvILLE GAIN.

Both OkanOgan and Oroville have

Land owners in this vicinity flocked
to Okanogan during the recent session
of the board of equalization. Ihe
statement may be too broad as ln1i1-
ative of numbers when the word
"flocked' is used. Nlt to modify the
statement somewhat it can be said
that a number of land owners made
the pilgrimage to file protest against
their assessments. We have been in
formed that in some instances proper
ty has been assessed in excess of the
price that the owners paid for it
within the past few months, in others
that the assessment has been increas-
ed two and three fold. Now, if this
increased assessment is practiced all
over the state then the property own
ers of the county would have no oc.
casion to file a protest, but if the in
crease is confined to Okanogan county
this county is going to pay more than
its fair share of state taxes. If the
property owner was assured of de-
crease tax levy with an increased as
sessment those getting the gaff might
cease to wiggle, but with combina-
ton tax that runs up between and 7
per cent an increase assessment al
most means confiscation. Possibly the
matter may be explained or adjusted
by the board of equalization to the
satisfaction Of the protestors.

BOOkS NOW
Al SEASUN'S DKuG STORE.

For the benefit of busy people ana
all those VINO have from various reas-
ons tailed to register up to date. the
registration BOOKS have Deen piaced in
Sexson drug store on Nam street ana
Mrs. Sexson Will be on hand to regis
ter any and ali comers. ms has been
done Tor several reasons, one OF which
ana another is tnat the pump station
was too 1ar Off the man center Ol
town and many people found it incon-
venient to go so TAR to register. 1t is
now hoped that all will register DO
you know that figures taken from the
that a large, very large per cent of the
eligible voters OF the county have not
registered up to date?
Only three days remains in which to
register Tor the primaries, and very
few new names are being added to me
lists as the time approaches for clos
ing the books.
The most appalling feature of the
entire matter is the opinion of officials
and other observers, is the fact that
there is 100 per cent registration OF
all the disloyal and undesirable ele-
ments that make up the forces which
aim to overthrow the present govern
ment, if they can possibly do it.
while this element may not be in the
majority in Okanogan county, it is
strong enough in the entire state to
a very grave menace to the
integrety of the United States govern
ment if permitted to go on unchecked.
Therefore it is essential that all good
register and vote to offset the
weight of the disturbing forces.
1t does not cost anything to register
md vote and takes only few moments
of time and if not attended to as it
should be, the people of north central
will wake up one of these
lays and find they have been asleep at
the switch.
Do it now, don't wait until the last
lay to register,
