KNOCKED OUT.

Charles Ereckbill, the trouble man
of the Pacific States Telephone COM
pany, Is taking q vacation. but under
circumstances that have no pleasant
features to that gentleman, and one
that he will not enjoy. The follow
ing item from the Riverside Argus
tells how Mr.. Breckbill came to get
his lay off: Charles Breckbill, man
ager for the Pacific States Telephone
company had the misfortune to have
one OF the bones in his leg above the
ankle broken last Saturday. Mr..
Breckbill was returning from Concon-
ully, and when Oh the hill opposite the
Carl Duncan place, the center clip in
the neckyoke broke, dropping the
tongue to the ground. The team was
going at good clip and when the
tongue dropped things began tc hap
pen. Mr.. Breckbill jumped ont on the
upper side of the road and in some
manner which he cannot account for
his leg was broken. He did not know
he was injured so seriously until he
ATTEMPTED 10 get up and found himself
unable to do so. Mr.. Duncan had seen
the accident and came to Mr.. Breck-
bills assistance; hitched up and
brought him to town. DR. Fryer has
put the limb in a plaster cast and it
is only question Of time when Mr..
Breckbill will be out again

A HOARY RUMOR.

The keen desire to see actual track
laying in progress on the OrOville Pa
teros branch, graded and ready for
iron POr months. is so prevalent and
uppermoht in the minds of those liv-
ing within touch of the branch, that
the least shadow of rumor that hints
at the beginning of work is seized
upon by the press and spread before
the public, and not .nfrequently hope
is awakened by the rehearsing of stO-
ries grey with age. Last week the
Riverside Argus copied an item from
the Wenatchee World which annOun
ces that "all the poles and wires for
a telegraph line from Oroville to Pa
terOs is now assembled at the former
place This means tha, il is the in
tentiOn OF the railroad to begin laying
rails" because the materials for tele-
graph lines are never assembled until
the rails are ready to be laid And
Furthermore it would be unusual If
the materials were assembled without
plans being made for the immediate
laying of rails" All of which shows
how quick the reporter is to pick up
any thread that tends to coincide with
the anticipations of the newsgatherer.
Now it is a rather unpleasant duty to
prick this iridescent bubble, for the
people up this way are just as anx-
ious TO see the road finished as the
people at the other end are just as
liable to seize every favorable report
and build expectations thereon, but
the World discovery is an old, old
story. commented upon. and taken as
good augury by the Gazette months
ago 1t is true that the poles and
wire are assembled" at this place,
but have been Assembled" for year,
hence, in this instance at least the
collection of such material was not
followed by track laying. The latest

LOOKING OVER THE FIELD

DR.. c. d. Whipple, of Minneapolis,
arrived in Oroville Tuesday, and con-
tlnued on to COnconully Wednesday
morning. Dr. Whipple's mission to
Okanogan county is to examine into
the mineral conditions With Il view of
putting up one or more smelters. His
objective point was Ruby canyon, a
few miles from ConcOnully, where
some large low grade silver lead ore
bodies have been opened. The words
low grade" are used with a reserva-
non. If the ore was located at any
point near a snelter, or within easy
reach Of smelter. it would b. classed
as high grade; but It does not carry
sufficient values to leave any margin
to operators after subtraction of the
cost of mining and transportation
from the mines to Il treatment plant
1t is the purpose of DR.. Whipple, after
his visit to the mining properties
about ConConully, to look over the
mineral conditions around Golden,
and the several claims in various
stages OF development north of Oro-
vile. If satisfied with the mineral
showings In northern Okanogan, Dr.

A BELLlCOSE SESSION.

One of the hottest. most strenuous
and exciting sessions of the town
council ever held since the incorpOra-
tIou of this place was that of Monday
rIpht There was very large audi
once present, but if the impression
mes out that the scenes of Monday
night are to be regularly re enacted,
future sessions will draw better than
circus. Angry passions were stirred

The trouble was precipitated by
Councilman Samson introducing a
resolution asking the marshal and
health officer to resign, in which he
was sustained by all but one of the
council, and further resolutions de-
claring the positions of prosecuting
attorney, health officer and engineer
vacated and abolished.
According to the statements made
by councilmen, Mayor Reese had for
some time prior to the last meeting
declared his intention to make
change in the marshalship, but at the
Monday evening meeting refused to
assume the responsibility of declaring
vacancy, and stated that it was the
duty of the council to order any
changes in town offices if thought eX-
pedient. 1t was the stand that the
mayor took that was responsible for
the resolution introduced by Mr.. Sam
son. The resolution seemed to touch
popular chord in so far as the pop
uar chord was embraced in The coun-
ell for the vote was all but unani-
mously n favor. as it was upon the
resoltiuon abOl:shing tho other offices.
Upon the announcement OF the re-
suit of the vote which seemed to take
all present with surprise. Marshal
Mills expressed himself vehemently
upon the action OF the council. two or
three of the co1Ecilmen were dragged
or voluntarily entered into the war OF
words, and some uncomplimentary al
lusions were exchanged. which the
parties would not have indulged in at
cooler moments. There were even in
vtatiOnS to settle the argument un-
der the Marquis of Gooseberry rules,
but more peacefully disposed men,
bers poured OF! upon the troubled wa
tiers, and the ebullition calme down.
Anyhow, under the action of the
council four Offices were abolished
four salaries were cut off, which will
hgure up quite a respectable saving

whites Increased by his appoint
ment to the Offices of street and water

that he might he clothed with the au-
thority OF marshal, so that during his
wanderings. while filling the duties of
the combination of positions he is
holding, If the occasion should arise,
he could make arrests. However, the
weight of fourth Office vas not
placed upon his shoulders by any Off
c1aI act 0f the common council.
And all of this convinces the pri-
vate citizen that the life of public
servant Is not altogether a happy one.

the speaker. ''when he promised a
general reduction before his election.
nor when he called the special ses-
sion TO keep the promise. nor when he
signed the bill that broke the prom

is simply that those who by the trick.

TAFT
MUCH MISTAKEN
On The Subject 81 The Uniform
Divorce Law

Chicago. Sept. 1l.--John G. Rich
berg, president of the Illinois COM
mission on uniform state laws. de-
clared yesterday that President Taft
is seriously mistaken on the subject
OF uniform divorce. Mr.. Richberg's
statement was brought out by the
announcement that Mr.. Taft will dis
cuss the divorce question freely
while on a l3,000-mile tour begin
ming next Friday and will urge the
necessity of uniform law.
More than 80 per cent of the
states, according to Mr.. Richberg,
already have uniformity of legisla-
ton on the ''crux of the divorce
question--namely, causes for di-
vorce."
"What the president is mistaken
about" said Mr.. Richberg, is that
he is evidently not aware that a uni
fern divorce law was prepared and
adopted by congress on divorce
composed of delegates of the respee-
tive states who we're appointed for
that special purpose in 1906 and who
formulated a uniform divorce code
which was subsequently adopted by
the conference of commissioners on
Uniform state laws. These commits
sioners are officially appointer from
all the states and territories in the
United States except Nevada.
This divorce code contains all the
features TO which the president has
made reference and has provision
that no divorce shall be absolute IN
iii after year has expired from tbs
entering OF the decree thus absolute
~ prohibiting marriage within tina
period in any state. The code hai
also most excellent features agains
what are known as migratory di
vorces, as ii requires residence o

. divorce. the code names six. and the,
we're then and are now legally Il
force in more than 80 per cent of tn
states OF the Union--adultery, biz
