In brief: From Wire Reports:
SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook is getting out the vote – on whether users can continue to vote on policy changes at the giant social network.
Voting started Monday and will last seven days.
Unless 30 percent of Facebook’s 1 billion-plus users cast their ballots, users will lose their right to vote. Critics say Facebook has set an impossibly high bar by requiring such a large percentage of its users to vote for the vote to count.
In a blog post, Elliot Schrage, Facebook’s vice president of communications, public policy and marketing, encouraged Facebook users to exercise their right to vote.
Facebook users can also let Facebook know what they think of other proposals, such as sharing user data with its subsidiary Instagram and loosening restrictions on who can send users messages on Facebook.

EARLY BRIDGEPORT: One of the freight outfits hauling supplies into the Okanogan country from the Bridgeport riverboat landing in the 1890s was this wagon train. Jim Warren is at the reins with his son, Verne, sitting next to him. Bridgeport was originally known as Westfield until a company from Bridgeport, Conn., arrived, promoted the townsite and changed the name for Engineer J. Covert’s hometown.
