LIUge■»n“S,gsealn-be\nuh.esidceli-is-enlier-n-reasoet88ediniddeasiyinalorAN OLD TIMS*.Hon. H. W. Starr, of Pateros, spent Sunday in Oroville, and as Mr. 8tarr is one of the democratic war horses of the county it is a safe guess that he wa9 on a pussy-footing expedition 'among the faithful. Outside of politics Mr. Starr Is a decidedly pleasing and likeable gentleman. It is not so pleas-ant to know him if you are on the opposite side of the political fence during a political campaign, for Mr. Starr is a keen, shrewd worker, and never knows when he is licked. However, we have always found him playing the game fair, as fair as politics jan be played, an I no one knowing him thinks any the less of the man on that score, w Lecher rowing in the same boat or nor. Mr. Starr is a pioneer of Douglas and Okanogan counties, and has taken a rrominent r.nd active part in public affairs for years. He is a lawyer by profession, and of late years has dabbled in the orchard industry by choice. He served for four years as register of the United States land office at Wa-terville, stepping into the land offic^ at the time the exigencies of politics threw the writer out of the same offico into the cold, cold world. After tbe close of his administration Mr. Starr moved upon a large tract of land near the mouth of the Methow, where h^ has since been living. Mr. Starr is not as young and sprightly as when we first knew him, but he is the same genial gentleman he was a quarter of a century ago.
