ess bertha Won Suttner.


The Nobel peace prize has i money
value of about $4,000. but it's great
est value consists in the high distinc-
ton which it confers upon its recipi-
ent. There was talk about the posi-
bility of its being awarded this year
to President Roosevelt because of his
efforts in behalf of international peace
in connection with the treaty of Ports
mouth, but the winner is the Baroness
Bertha Won Suttner, author of Down
With Arms" and delegate from Aus
tria to the international peace congress,
which met in Boston last year. By
the will of the celebrated Swedish sci
enlist, Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who

each of the value of about $4,000, to
be awarded for the most laudable work
in the field of literature for the most
important discoveries In physics, chem
istry and physiology and for the best
effort toward the fraternity of the ma
tons and the promotion of internation-

OIL AT MERRITT.
Contract Closed with California Par
ties TO Sink Well 5000 feet
Work 20 Begin at Once


Some two weeks ago J. M. Tompkins
OF Wenatchee, found on the land of H.
B. Smith, postmaster at Merritt what
Ia believed to be an indication of kero-
sene oil of high grade.
Messrs, Smith and Tompkins have
formed company and will employ a
California expert who will make a
thoro investigation. He will drill sew
eral wells, if necessary. The machin-
ery has already been ordered and the
drilling will begin at an early date.
Mr.. Tompkins, who has had some ex-
perience In the oil business, is quite en-
thusiastic over the find. A dozen or
more claims have already been staked
out
The oil prospect is found about a
half mile from the postofflce, in the Ma
son creek valley. The writer investi-
gated the find himself, and while MAX
ing no claims to being an expert In
these matters he can truthtully say
that the stuff that comes out OF the
ground looks like oil and smells like
oil. The find is in wet, DOGGY place
and the oil comes up in bubbles thru
the water and floats away
Mr.. Smith is looking for more or less
of a rush this summer and has COM
menced the erection of an addition to
his hotel. Merritt lisa favorite camp
ing place for Wenatchee people many
OF whom go there in the summer to
spend a few weeks. People from the
Sound also go there to fish and hunt
The fishing and grouse shooting is said
to be fine in season.

MASONIC vEsPER SERVICE
 An unusually large audience, with many visitors from Cannons and and Brapchville, was present at the vesper service of the Gilbert Memorial church, last Sunday, when the pastor preached 8 special sermon to the Ma sonic and Eastern Star lodges. Spe- cial music was rendered by the choir The sermon on "Friendship" was 8 strong and dramatic presentation of this greatest of human relationships. This age. said the speaker, is pre-emi- nently the age of combinations and trusts and unions, and if these were not abused, they would render last ing benefit to the world. Friendship is the great social and spiritual trust, that is bestowing incalculable bless ing upon mankind. The world is full of kindnesses and goodwill and noble ambitions, and friendship is gathering these all together and best0wing them upon another. Especially is this true in the supreme friendship. that of Jesus Christ, who gathered all the blessings of Heaven to bestow upon men.
