A FRIEND OF OTHER DAYS.

Geo. W. Hendricks. OF Spokane.
stopped over one night in Oroville the
latter part Of last week on MS way
home from a trip to Curlew where ne
invested in timber. Mr. Hendricks vol
unrearad THE information that timber |
and timber lands were sare invest
ments nowadays, ami as Mr.. Hen
bricks is a pretty shrewd observer |
the only reason preventing us from |
following close IN his footsteps IN the
matter of investment Is the very good
zone that We cannot command the
wlerewithal % do So Mr.. Hendricks
is Z gentleman OF varied experience IN
the invest ment business aud his actIv-
tiles have extended over a third OF
century in eastern Washington Years
ago Mr.. Hendricks was resident OF
lWaterville. He took flyers In grain ana
when the opportunity was exception
ally good would attach quarter sec
| ton here and there. He plodded along
| in a quiet and methodical way. and IN
the course OF time Mr. Hendricks
came 20 be one of the men Of sub
stance in Douglas county. His exper-
fence in buying grain and his critical
observation OF farm lands when
guarding himself picking up a farm
as an investment made him one OF the
best Judges OF farm values In the
state. That knowledge became a great
asset The Hypotheek hank, of Spo-
kane, that made more farm loans IN
eastern Washington than any other
financial institution IN the state en-
gagged in the mortgage business, learn
ed OF Mr.. Hendricks efficiency "a
Judge OF farm values ana employed
him as their loan representative.
When loan was applied for Mr.. Hen
bricks had the responsible JOB OF look
ing over the land and deciding
whether the value Justified the ad-
vance So keen was his Judgment that
the bank never lost anything upon Mr..
Hendricks decisions. Mr.. Hendricks
was with the bank for some rs years,
and only recently severed his connec-
ton with that institution, a step he
has threatened about every year for
the past IL years. He is now a free
lance, banking on his own Judgment,
making personal investments and It is
safe to say that he will prosper ex-
Eceedingly for he does not often make
mistakes when it comes to figuring
on. tle possibility of profit. Together
with coterie of friends OF younger
days We owe many pleasant hour &c
the company of Geo. W. Hendricks
who, for all his keen business in
stincts, is a kindly. genial and COM
panionable gentleman. Age has not
withered that geniality and ne still
carries around that merry chuckle
that is never more pronounced than
when he is holding heart solo, q
rather infrequent prize that falls to q
, player in that game and which viii be
better understood by those who hav5
, the evil propensity OF extracting
+. pleasure from handling the papes.

Hats off TO Justice OF the Peace j.
w Carrel. Tuesday he heard the first
case that has been brought before him
since he was elected to the office OF
Justice OF the peace. The charge
against the prisoner was liquor in
possession" The evidence vas unas-
saflabIe. Squire Carrel did not hem
and haw and offer any excuses for
dealing out punishment He SIM ply
announced that he assessed 4 fine OF
$3.50 and so days in the county Jail
against the accused. Lord, oh Lord, II
there were only more justices OF the
peace like Mr.. Carrei, men who had
the CUTS to deal out punishment taat
the law breakers deserve, there would
be far less law breaking in the coun-
Try. Men who break the law laugh at
light fines and go on breaking laws,
feeling satisfied that they will escape
with a slight punishment. But a Jolt
