Will Aid in Development Work An immediate and general demand for logged-off lands along the lines of the Idaho & Washington Northern and the Grreat Northern was found when the cut-over holdings of four lumber companies along these railroads was opened for public sale last week through the offices of the Fred B. Grinnell Co. Sales made up to this time total 3259 acres, for which purchasers paid $53,524, an average price per acre of $61.42.

During the week the Grinnell office was flooded with inquiries concerningthe logged-off tracts from all parts of the Inland Empire and from other states.

To the Electors of the Third Congres sional District of the State of Wash ington: Having announced myself as a candi date for the Republican nomination for congressman in the Third congressional district of the state of Washington, subject to the primaries on Sept. 10 next, it is proper that I advise the elec tors in said district something of myself and what I stand for and will vote for if honored by election to that important office. I was born in Putnam county, Indiana, Oct. 14, 1845; was reared on a farm and acquired the education usually afforded the farmer boy at that time in the west until the summer of 1863. At the age of 17 years I enlisted in Co. H, 115 th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, as a pri vate soldier, and went to the front with my company, where I remained until after the expiration of my term of ser vice, then re-enlsted in Battery E, First Indiana Heavy Artillery, and served until the close of the war and was mus tered out July 26, 1865, at the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Returning home and being desirous of securing an educauion, I entered the Academy at Thorntown, Indiana, which was then conducted by my brother, Prof. John Clark Ridpath. After a preparatory course of study, I entered Asbury (now Depau) Univer sity, graduating from the University in the class of 1870. I taught school for two years and in the meanwhile pur sued the study of law, and was admit ted to the bar and began the practice in the month of June, 1872, at Brazil, In diana. In 1880 I was elected to the legisla ture ol Indiana. At the opening of the session of 1881 and was chosen speaker of the house. In May, 1882, was appointed Indian agent of the Yankton Sioux Indians of South Dakota. After about three years of service I resigned, and was immedi ately reappointed as agent of the Qua pas, Modocs and six other tribes in the Indian Territory, and won the hearty approval of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Secretary of, the Inter ior. Shortly after President Cleveland's inauguration I was removed on account of party affiliations. I came to Washington and took up my residence in Spokane on March 17,1888, and re-entered the practice of law. In 1889 was appointed prosecuting attor ney for the counties of Spokane, Stev ens and Okangan, by the territorial governor, Miles C. Moore, and served in that capacity until January 9, 1891. After 20 years of active law practice I retired and am now devoting my time to mining interests and real estate holdings in Spokane and the Inland Empire. I have always been and am now a Republican, and cast my first vote for Ulysses S. Grant. I am an administration Republican and stand without apology upon the platform adopted at the last Republican national convention at Chicago, on June 22, 1912. If nominated and elected to congress I will work with my party on all ques tions to which it is pledged by its plat form. I believe in wholesome laws for the government, control and regulation of public service and other corporations and a rigid enforcement of the same. I believe in reasonable conservation of water powers, coal and timber lands, but not in a conservation which will in jure or rob the frontiersman and the settler, whose presence in the country has made the country what it is. I favor the opening of the Columbia river, from the International Boundary line to the sea, and believe it is a feasi ble proposition to open it by a system of dams (which will in a great measure check miles of the swift current) and create water power sufficient to water the entire valley of the Columbia, and enable us to get cheap fuel from the oil fields of California and other products. The Republican party has always been and is now and I believe will con tinue to be the progressive party of our country. I have faith in the integrity and ability of the Republican party to carry out the will of the people, nnd believe this can best be accomplished by a united and harmonious effort. I believe in direct primary laws with such legal restrictions as will prevent one party from voting, influencing or interfering in the selecting of candi dates in the party to which they do not belong. I have spent most of my time travel ing abroad since Sept. 30, 1909; have to some extent familiarized myself with conditions, social, political and econom ical, and believe I have fitted myself for this importaut office.

Whether he will put in a sawmill or sell the logs to existing sawmill companies is as yet undecided, but it is probable that they will interest some shingle mill operator to handle the large cedar on the tract. The work of getting out the timber is to start at once and a camp of 75 men is to be established. Alf Mclnnis will have charge of the logging operations, and left for Troy this week after pur chasing several teams and engaging a number of men from this locality. State of Washington, » > ss.
