CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-

Judge Sam Hill, of Waterville,
democratic candidate for congressman
from the Fifth district, was visitor
in town Wednesday. Tle judge was
out on a tour of the county lining up
his democratic support prior to the
primaries and as the chances are all
in his favor of gaining the nomination
at the primaries he will no doubt visit
Oroville again during the subsequent
campaign. The democrats would have
been compelled to search far and win
now over carefully available candi-
dates for congress before they could
have found a more worthy gentleman
than Judge Hill, and should sucn a
misfortune happen that this district
must be represented in congress by
democrat better man in the party
of his adoption could not be named
for the office.

lifting hand. The general public
does not realize that the bootlegger is
taking greater chances today than he
has heretofore taken. High jackers'

The high jacker' is one that either
holds up the bootlegger and takes his

else forcibly takes the money the boot

They spot a bootlegger. time his move
