The grade is about entirely completed
from Oroville to Tonasket, and the
gaps from that point to Pateros, the

TOWN ORGANIZATIONS.

Last Friday the residents of Loomis
held public meeting to nominate town
officers to be voted on June %, when
the question of incorporation will be
'srrhmittcd ~ the electors. T. P. Nc
Neil was named for mayor, and j. M.
Judd, Geo. w. Loudon, Will J. Ford,
Fred c. Retzer and Geo. J. Hurley as
councilmen. r. P. Gallup will look
after the finances in the capacity Of
treasurer. There was no opposition
to the ticket named, although it is re-
ported that there is an under current
of insurgency existing. Those who are
backing town organization have nc
doubts as to the result of the vote, as
a large majority are for the PROPOSE
tion. The limits of the town is to be
mile square, which gives ample room
for expansion. A vote on local option
will follow incorporation and as the
vets are in the lead within the limits
as provided about at the ratio of ten
to one, the fledgling town will hardly
suffer from a drouth.

A COLD DEAL.

Jimmie Jackson came very near
freezing to death Saturday, and Satur-
day was far from being a cold day. 1t
happened through little carelessness
in the manipulation of the door of the
cold storage plant. Mr.. Jackson had
to enter the freeze room for meat.
When he drew the door closed the
latch fell in place, and there he was as
much Of prisoner as though he had
been locked in an underground dun
geon. It struck Mr.. jackson as quite
funny at first, but as he gradually be-
came chilled through and no one COM
ing to his rescue the situation ceased
to be a joke. He put crimp in his
lungs shouting, but it was an hour be-
fore he was released, and by that time
he was almost as stiff as crow bar.
Since the experience Mr.. Jackson ex-
ercises the most subtle caution to pre-
vent repetition OF the chilly incarcer-
alton.

Cotay be placed under bond to keep the
peace. Judge Fraser appeared for the
complainant and Attorney Fitzgerald
looked after the interests of the de-
fendand, and both had their hands full
guiding their clients through the
mazes of examination and cross-exam-
ination, and keeping them silent when
they attempted to exchange compli-
ments on and off the stand. The eli
max of the misunderstanding leading
up to the court scene, occurred Sun
day, when the two men met on adjoin-
ing ranches. Devon and his witnesses
swore that Cotay made blood-curdling
threats, while Cotay swore that Devon
pulled gun on him without cause or
provocation. 1t was very evident that
some one committed perjury, but which
side strayed farthest from the truth is
only known to the witnesses them
selves. After hearing the evidence,
and listening to eloquent and impas-
ioned spiels on the part of the counsel,
the Judge decided that Cotay was due
for somo restraint and placed him un-
der bonds of $3.50 for period of three

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Ths announcement of the game of
bali Sunday afternoon between the
regulars and . picked nine, on the oc-
Sasiop Of the opening of tbe new
krousas, drew xut q large crowd The
noisy rooter was there in force, and
his presence was made conspicuous by
quick fire notes of encouragement and
criticism. The crowded expected to
see the regulars eat the scrubs up, and
for eight innings witnessed petty
game of ball, with the regulars in the
hole to the tune of 3 to 8. The wear
was too great for the pitcher, who had
been passing over all kinds of curly
cues, to the bewilderment of the heavy
batters on the regular team, and got a
fat wheel. His support at the crucial
moment went up in the atmosphere,
and the regulars made five runs in the
ninth, tying the score. The tenth in
ming degenerated into free for all
foot race, with the regulars in the
lead. Strengthen the picked nine in
one OF two spots and they would worry
the regulars, and at the same time the
regular nine can put up good article
of ball, and would give the best anna
teur team a hard run for the money.
The following is the story of the run
getting by innings:

"Wednesday was regular spark spit
ter, and trail of smoke along the
right OF way showed where the cinders
had touched off the grass, and, strange
to say, green as the rank growth of
grass, weeds and sage brush seems to
be, the fires burned vigorously. Quite
a large patch was burned over in the
west part of town, along the north side
of the track, and the only reason that
the scorched surface was not greater,
and that damage did not result, was
because crowd of men and children,
aided by one woman, worked energet-
ically and beat out the spreading
flames, An engine with such a pro-
pensity should be muzzled.

on business connected with the road.
Both Mr.. Doyle and his superior, Su-

headquarters at Marcus. Mr.. Doyle is
an old employee of the Great Northern
company, and by strict attention to his
duties has worked himself up round
after round to the position that he now
fills. Mr.. Doyle knows the railroad
business from A to lizard, and as he is
still young man he has every chance
of working still higher in the service.
He will be found Johnnie on the spot

CROSSED HIS WIRES.

In another item is mentioned the
passing through town Of bands of sheep
bound for Vernon and Greenwood. It
appears the sheep were purchased by
Jas. Jackson, to be delivered at the
points mentioned. When the sheep
arrived here Mr.. Jackson steered the
Fruit bunch to Greenwood, and the
Loudon flock to Vernon, when the ship
ments should have been reversed. Upon
discovery of the error Mr.. Jackson
hot footed it up the road Tuesday and
headed off Loudon from the Vernon
destination, and Wednesday morning
he chased out by train in an effort to
catch the Fruit outfit before reaching
Greenwood. 1t will all come out in
the wash, but while the knot was be-
