Judge A. K. Rice will be nominated without opposition for the September primary as Superior Judge for Lewis, Pacific, and Wahkiakum counties. The eight years of faithful service, lack of charges of favoritism, and steadfast application of law have earned him broad support, across party lines, with aspirants for judicial honors urged to run on nonpartisan tickets but allowed to advocate party views.
Lewis county voters are urged to support Senator J. A. Veness of Winlock for re election to the state senate. Lumbermen demand strong advocacy to protect the lumber industry amid price and rate pressures. Veness is praised for four years of service and for championing rural and merchant interests.
A tribute to Jack Veness portrays him as a prominent, successful figure in the local farming community. It emphasizes his dedication to industry prosperity, road and tax policy, and democratic relations with workers and employers. Voters are urged to renominate and reelect him to extend his four years of service.
Judge Emmett N. Parker will be a candidate for justice of the supreme court at the September primary. Pierce County has not been represented on that bench since Judge F. L. Stiles retired in January 1805. Three years ago.
The Pierce county bar backed Parker as a primary and November election prospect from a seven-member slate. Parker, longtime Tacoma resident and former judge, is highlighted as a seasoned lawyer with a strong state profile and prior service in city and state offices.
Aberdeen speaker L H Burnett urges Lewis County Commissioners to fund a substantial contribution to the Alaska Yukon Exposition in Seattle. He outlines costs for Washington state and exhibits, emphasizes benefits to local agriculture, manufacturing, and marketing, and compares regional commitments to other counties to justify the needed appropriation.
A crude notice advertises Warrenton land at the mouth of the Columbia River as the ocean terminus of the North Bank road. It lists lot prices from 200 to 400 dollars with cash down 40 dollars and 10 dollars monthly, and other lots from 450 dollars with 50 dollars down and 12.50 dollars monthly, urging buyers to act now.
A 1907 letter urges Lewis County commissioners to authorize a 4000 dollar exhibit for the Alaska Yukon–Kotzebue Exposition, citing legal authority and the potential publicity and benefit. The writer stresses immediate action to gather crops and materials, promising space in the agricultural building and strong exposure for the county.
