came known today.
A number Of prominent citi.
sens have been called before

questioned along these lines, 1t
was learned today.
Should the grand jury find

part Of any Of the county Off.
eials, recommendations of i'm.
peachment likely will be made,
II was said. 1t is also said that

recommended such steps will
be commented on.

This precaution was taken, Nj

Republicans of Oregon to lead their
ticket in the fight this fall. He must
be thoroughly convinced by this time
that he mas honestly defeated in the
primary. Then why does he withhold
his support of Mr.. Olcott? Is it be-
cause his hackers are urging him on
to further humiliation or is Il because
he is q poor loser and lacks that quail
ity of manhood that is termed good
sportsmanship."
Does he intend to run as an inde-
pendent or will he attempt to turn
his support" to the Democratic nomi-
nee. An act of this kind would most
certainly be frowned upon by the Re-
publican voters of this great state.
AS stated before thousands of vot-
ers felt that the Hall forces were JUS
titled in contesting the nomination OF
Mr.. Olcott, so convincing were their
statements of sincerity, but now that
they have utterly failed sentiment is
swinging to Mr.. Oicott and unless
Mr. Hall comes out wholeheartedly in
favor of the man who successfully and
honestly defeated him in the primary
he will become as unpopular with the
Republican voters of the state as a
knocker in a community of boosters.

VOTE SWAPPING.

The accepted practice of swapping
votes in state legislatures has reach

supposed favored legislation. 4Yuu

yours is the battle cry. "The p-o
visions OF my bill will not affect yotr
territory, and nobody cares anyhow" :"
The custom, Of courae, Is the out.

When the merchants get ready to

have nothing to fear from the mali

then the outsider will surely burrow

MAIL ORDER HOUSE BOoMS

Sales totals of the great mail order
houses show an enormous increase,
particularly in strictly farming sec
ticns. Tons of mail order catalogues
come into Lincoln county every
change of seasons. These concerns
are not doing this for nothing They
are getting results
This is not pleasant news for re-
tail stores in our average small town,
but 1t is what they may expect.
There is only one way in which
the insidious mail order campaigns
can be combatted and that is by To-
cal merchants frankly explaining their
merchandising possibilities To- the
people through advertising.
It is well-known fact that the big
mail order concerns maintain depart
ments Of considerable magnitude to
check up tie towns where the local
merchants appear to lack enterprise.
Ia this the case In Toledo?

these items have been prepared with
