COIN BOWS TO PARBERRY;
HIMMELBERGER in LEAD.

Playing brilliant billiards, Fred Par
berry, OF the Celluloid Club, won hand
lily over Abe Cohn in last nights
match in the Tuxedo billiard tourney.
The score was 200 to 1877. Without rob-
bling Parberry of In Of the credit due
him, it may be said hat Cohn is not
playing anywhere near up to the form
displayed last season., and he VIII meet
to spend considerable time in practise
if he expects to finish among the lead
ers this year. COINS defat last night
leaves Himmelherger in the lead, with
six wins and one defeat. 1t looks very
much as if he will carry off the honors
this year, unless he experiences a sud
den reversal of his present good form.
Tonight's match will bring together
Franks and Ogden. This should prove
to be one of the best games of the
tourney. Both men have a wide fol-
lowing of friends, and while the game
will mean more to Franks than his op-
ponent in the standing, both are out
for victory, and a close, hard-fought
game is bound to result.

OkanOgan County Division.

A move to divide Okanogan county
into three parts is to be made at
this session of the legislature, says
the Okanogan Independent. Rumors
came floating in last week in regard
to the matter but we could hardly
credit them and made no mention of
it in last weeks issue. But it seems
that we are now confronted with the
proposition squarely. The move ap-
parently Eliminates from Oroville and
Twisp 1t is proposed to create one
county out of the Methow country
and another out of the north end
comprising most of the North Half
and the Oroville and LOOMS sec
tions. The south line of the proposed
northern county to be known as Os-
ooyos county, runs about six or seven
miles north of Riverside The Met
how valley will, of course, compose
the southern or Methow county. Oro-
vile is slated to be the county seat
of the north county and Twisp of the
south. Conconully will remain the
capital city of Okanogan county.

one of the most interesting stories in
