east OF the Court House. The visiting
team comes from Brockett, and outside

strongest lineup IN the Ramsey county

Sunday, June 18th is the date set by
astronomers for an eclipse of the sun,
which, it is expected, will be visible in all
portions of the United States,in case the
weather conditions are not too cloudy.
Between SIX o'clock IN the afternoon and
the hour of shutdown is stated as being
the time when it will be visible in this
latitude.
Those who hoped to view the total
eclipse of the moon announced by
astronomers for Thursday evening, June
Bird, we're only partly rewarded for their
attention paid to the matter. The char
acter of the weather was IN no way sat
isfactory and before the eclipse had
passed into its early stages, clouds had
gathered that almost entirely obscured
the view. Had the sky been clear the
eclipse could have been seen in all its
stages without the aid of a smoked glass
or telescope.
That was an interesting municipal
election contest case of the eX-mayor of
Williston against the mayor-elect, tried
before Judge Templeton In district court
last week. Joseph Wegley is the eX-
mayor and John Bruegger is the mayor
elect. Previous to his election Mr.. Brueg-
ger stated that if elected, he would not
accept the mayors salary of $50 per
month, if the council passed an ordi-
nance for such an amount. He was
elected, and Wegley whom he defeated,
brought suit against him on the grounds
that he had bribed the voters OF Willis
ton to vote for him by donating the $50
a month salary to the city treasury.
The court decided that Wegley had no
case.

Mrs. Bottomley.

The news was received too late
for last week s paper Of the death
of Mrs. c. j. Bottomley of heart
failure at her home down the
river. Death occurred on the
evening of February 8, and was
preceded by a few days illness.
Mrs. Bottomley was born in
Gibraltar in 1912, and had been
resident of Okanogan county
since 1884. During her childhood
she moved to st. John, N. B., and
later to Boston, Mass. She was
one of the pioneers of California,
having lived in that state several
years prior to her marriage at San
Francisco to R. G. Bottomley in
1876. She and her husband lived
in various parts of California un-
til their removal to this county in
1884. Her children, Margaret j.,
Charles M. and William A. Bot.
tomley, s,,ryixe her and were all
present at her death, as was
Owen Devlin, a brother, who is
comparatively recent arrival in
this county. A number Of broth.
ers and sisters of the deceased
live at Boston, Mass. The funeral
occurred February 9, which was
attended by the old timers for
many miles around, and interment
was made in the Oroville ceme-
tery.

the Turkish village being the first
of the big concessions to finish its
construction work.
The acres and acres of gardens
are already breaking into bloom,
impelled by an unusually warm
winter and the opening say the
grounds will be riot of brilliant
color.
The heaviest work remaining to
be done is the paving of the ways
and boulevards, but this work is
now progressing SO rapidly that
it will be as completely done as
will everything else when the big
day comes round.

Commercial Club Election.

A rush of job printing last week
was the cause of several news
items of Importance being over
looked, the most important Of
which was the annual meeting of
the Commercial club. The club
met on Tuesday evening and elect
ed the officers for the ensuing
year The trustees of the club
are: w. NJ. Savage, Ira W. Fol-
lis, H. j. Desmond, E. F. Magee,
A. M. Dufeld, w. j. Hoskyn, DR..
w. T. Schwabland and E. S. Tay-
lor. OF this number w. M. Saw
age was elected president, Ira w.
Follis, first vice president, H. j.
Desmond, second vice president
and DR.. Schwabland, treasurer.
Many matters of Importance were
discussed, among them being the
opening of the creamery and steps
were taken looking to that end.
The club is in a healthy condition
and from appearances will do
much good for Oroville and the
surrounding country during the
coming season.

COULD OPEN
A MONTH EARLY
Last of the Exhibits Will
Soon be in
Place.

SEATTLE, Feb. 15.-With
nearly four months to go to the
opening day, the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition is 80 per cent
complete in it's every detail. 1t
could be ready for the public a
month before the day announced,
but the extra thirty days will be
given over to the perfection of
exhibits and the testing out of
the thousand and one utilities so
that, once the big show is on,
there will be no bitches, or inter
ruptions of any kind.
The four magnificent buildings
for the government exhibits were
the last begun, but they are now,
to all intents ard nnrnnses. cem.
plete. A fortnight will See the
installation of the Philippines and
Hawaiian exhibits and thirty days
will see the fisheries show in place
under the palace that has been
builded for it. The Hawaiian ex-
hibit will require more time for
the reason that there are several
such little details as real pine
apple plantations and cocoa palm
forests to be planted and made
to grow, all of which takes time.
Alaska is at the present time
flooded with commissioners gath
ering together the exhibit from
Uncle Sans big treasure house.
Yukon, the Canadian division Of
the north, and Alaska, the Ameri-
can side, will show everything
that they have to show, from mug
gets to prize winning potatoes
and watermelons grown inside the
Arctic circle. 1t is costing some
thing like 100000 to get the
display ever attempted by new
northland exhibit together and it
will be the most comprehensive
country.
A recent test Of the electrical
features Of the exposition startled
even the most sanguine Of the di-
rectors Of the big show No ex-
position has ever offered anything
like it. One million eight candle
power incandescent lamps and
hundreds upon hundreds of arcs
burning at the same time fairly
staggered with their beauty those
who had the good fortune to see
the sight.
Canada s handsome building is
practically completed and in it
very shortly will be installed the
Dominion's permanent exhibit,
which recently won great credit
at the Franco British exposition
in London.
Many Of the state buildings are
completed and the others will be
before the time limit for construc-
ton has expired. The PAY
Streak, which is to be the amuse-
ment precinct, is three-quarters
of a mile long and almost every
foot of it is now contracted for,

Session.

Snow again.
It is safe to bet that the east
siders, who are here for the first
time, think that Puget Saunders
have achieved a tremendous repu-
'tation for a mild climate on
mighty small capital. For the
second time since the session snow
has fallen heavily, though It is
not so cold this time it is far from
being the banana belt weather we
|clam diggers boast about.
However, the weather is not

probably barred from legislative
correspondence, but what is a
Epoor-well, poor fellow to do.

Legislature persists in doing
mighty little we can write about 2
True the lower house has passed
the McMaster anti-saloon local op-

loratory and sharp parliamentary
practice of the more liberal; but
passing the house does not con-
stitute a law, and the senate is
waiting eagerly for the appear
ance Of the bill in that body next
Wednesday, when along with
several other local option bills it
will be reported for special action.
The supporters of the league bill
claim that they lack but two votes
to pass the same in the senate, but
two votes, came over to say, are
a whole lot in the senate of the
1lth session of the Washington
Legislature. But enough said of
the local option law. l have ever
been accused already of giving it
undue prominence, more, it has
been insinuated that /, myself, am
favorable to the league bill. As
to the prominence, if you were
here in Olympia where the entire
atmosphere is overcharged with
local option electricity pro and
con, you would know that was
impossible. As to my personal
preferences, well, Artimus Ward
was in the show business, mine is
the correspondence line.
Besides side-tracking the anti.
japanese legislation in California,
President Roosevelt may have to
turn his attention to our own
state. If the Edge bill becomes a
law, on one but citizens and those
who have signified their inten-
tions to become such, will be al

Japanese would get of under this
bill.

gist Of the Booth. bill, which in.
cludes not only legislators but
school directors, supervisors and
councilmen. Besides what appears
on the face of the bill there seems

wood pile, since it is observed,

ing pay for prisoners in the peni-

which discharged prisoner

the crime is such that any one is

the saving goes to them or their

number of Supreme Court judges

part of Paulhamus and the other
watchdogs of the treasury. Rather
than take chance q. Il any enr

the elimination of the emergency

bill by the senate, and Gov. Hay
has signed the completed bill.
This gives the race track people
until June IL to settle up their
affairs and we may still have a
brief period for playing the ponies
during the early summer.
The first session Of the third
house was held in the house cham
ber on Wednesday evening Of this
week, when correspondents,
clerks, and other employees took
upon themselves the difficult prob

Hon. c. B. Kegley, master of the
Washington State Grange, is in
the city this week. Mr.. Kegley
is a member of the legislative com.
mittee of that body. When that
committee was appointed it was
the intention to have at least one
member in Olympia during the
entire session Of the legislature.
This course has not been followed
for two reasons: First, several
members of the Grange were eject
ed to this legislature and the task
Of looking after legislation has
been left to them; second, small
hopes have been entertained OF
any progressive legislation along
Grange lines very early in the ses-
sion, and even lobby of one is
considered superhuous. Mr.. Keg-
ley will look over the ground for
a few days. however, and ascer.
