BY THE RIVER ROUTE.

John E. Reese, who is manager of
the local ball club, has received word
that the Omak boys, who are to play
here Sunday, will come up the river
in Lee Ives large launch. The party
will continue up the river landing I'M
mediarely at the ball grounds. This
will be the first time the run has been
made up the river to this point by an
excursion party. There is ample wat
er just now for navigation, providing
the steamer is not too large. The par
ty expects to arrive Saturday evening.
1t would be handsome act of cour-
tesy if several of the home launches
would run down to the junction of the
Okanogan and Smilkameen rivers and
escort the visitors to town, and it
would add to the pleasure if the band
could get out and greet them. What's
the matter with making our neighbors
feel that we are glad they came.

FAILED TO ARRIVE.

Owing to limited time Governor Hay
was unable to fill all his appointments
during his recent trip to the northeast
corner of the state, and consequently
had to cut out his proposed visit to
| Oroville, that was expected to take
place last week. He got through the
new county of Pend d'Orielle and
Stevens county. reaching as far as
| Republic. Had there been a Sunday
train he would have come on to this
place, but as ne was due to leave for
the east June I, the latest date he
could postpone his departure in order
to fill previous engagements. he was
compelled tC take the back track This
was a disappointment to his friends
here, who had planned to give the
governor a reception befitting his high
Office as chief executive of the state,
and no doubt was equally disappoint
ing to himself. 1t is understood that
the governor expects to make tour
of this county in the fall when he
will have more time at his disposal
and can therefore stay longer. The
information that he was not coming
was at last received through reply
to a telegram sent to him at Marcus
over The signature OF the mayor. and
was not received until Friday eve
ming, the day he was expected to ar
rive. The governor missed some tooth
some eats and warm welcome, the
latter, howeve", will keep until he
arrives next fall
Since the above was written the fol-
lowing letter has been received at this
Office more fully explaining why the
governor was unable to visit OrOville:
June 3, 1911.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Dallam, ST.,

My Dear Mr.. Dallam:-

4 GOOD CROP.

Rye is the seed, as a rule, planted
in the valley for grain hay. The sea
son is generally so dry that wheat or
oats will not grow with sufficient rap
idity to make hay. but rye Is rapid,
vigorous grover and hence secures
all the benefits of the early moisture.
This season the rye fields of the val
ley are showing heavier growth than
for years. On the Forde place. just
below town, there are 10 or 90 acres
covered with an unusually heavy stand
of rye, some of it six feet high por-
ton of this field will probably be cut
for grain. and from the present prom
ise will yield enormously.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

Those who witnessed the game of
ball between Oroville and Okanogan
will not fail to be on hand Sunday to
see the meeting Of the Omak and Oro-
Vile teams. The Omak club is as
strong if not shade stronger, than
the Okanogan team, and the same kind
of air tight. classy exposition OF the
national sport can be expected 1t
will be a case Of entirely home perfor-
mers confronting each other, whicn
will make the game more interesting
and much more creditable to botf
sides. 1t will BE- contest we'll worth

Saturday, as j. w. Newell and Dell
Hart were on the OkanOgan, in the
east part of town, spearing carp in the
shadows, their attention Was attracted
to some living thing moving through
the water where the water had over
flowed the land and was only about
two or three feet deep. The object was
about 100 yards away and had the ap-
pearance of an enormous turtle. A
long neck stretched forward out of the
water, and then an oval back, four or
five feet in length and about the same
breadth, stuck out above the water.
The thing was evidently swimming in
the shallow water. The two fishermen
hastened toward the object as rapidly

and disappeared. 1t could hardly have
been turtle, as the brush was too
thick for turtle of that size to make
it's way through such an obstruction.
They searched the surroundings for a
long time, but were unable to get a
glimpse of the animal, reptile, or what
ever it was. This was no hallucina-
ton, as the parties are not men who
have their vision affected by the fluid
that tangles the eye-sight as well as
the lower eXtremitieS.

IRRIGATION SCHEME.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Graham, of Loo
mis-, were in Oroville Sunday. Mr..
Graham practiced law at Riverside
for a numberof years. Last summer
he became connected with company
that is behind a gigantic reclamation
project that has for it's object the ir
rigatiOn of large acreage on White
stone fiat. The company will take
water from Toats Coula creek, and
has already done considerable work
in the way of ditch digging and water
conserving. Mr.. Graham, as general
manager, moved to Loomis in order to
be on the ground where operations
are under way. He is an earnest, en-
ergetic worker, and just the man for
the position.

Our National Anthenn.

The president of the Chicago board
of education is much worked up over
his belief that few people, young or
old, know what the national anthem
is. AS a matter of fact no one, not
even the complainant, knows what the
national anthem is. because there is
none authoritatively selected. He
thinks The Star-Spangled Banner" is
Others with Just as much authority
say II is America" a third class de-
clares 1t is Hail Columbia" a few
hold out for Mrs. Howe's Battle
Hymn and the southerners make it
Dixie" But in sober fact. while we
have a variety of claimants. we have
no established national anthem. II is
too bad that we are thus handicapped
among nations, and none the less de-
plorable that the United States is so
lacking in musical talent Evidently

Excellent Type of Army Horse.
By CAPTAIN A. H. wADDELL1

Although there is no great war 60
Ing on at the present moment there
never has been a time when army
horses are so much needed as they are
at present, for Notwithstanding
Hagues tribunals, Carnegie peace
funds, and an apparently general de-
sire for arbitration and the peaceful
settlement of International dispatch
ers every great and military nation Of
the world is increasing its armament
both on land and at sea, the great
martial nations of the world are moth
Ing more nor less than armed camps.
Foreign governments are we'll aware
that horses cannot now be had by the
mere purchase of them in numbers
anything like sufficient to supply their
demands, indeed the scarcity of army
material in the shape of horse flesh is
not to be had in anything like ap-
preaching the numbers required.
The United States has spent an av-
erage of 100000 a year on cavalry
horses. France has noted $1,500,000
and Germany $950,000 to horse breed
ing. In England they spend something
over $40, 900 year for breeding horses,
many of which are at once marked
down by foreign buyers, and the short
age of horses bred in this country
during the last three years amounts to
something like 10000 and in spite of
the huge proportions of their army
estimates, the remount department
An additional 10000 horses are need
ed to reach the minimum of riding

army to say nothing Of artillery and
Grausport animals.
The scarcity of horses in the British
army is appalling, the breeding of suit
able horses in England sinks progress
sively and official condemnation of ex-
listing methods of a new organization
have disturbed the horse societies and
the industry in general. Farmers,
who must be the natural agents in
breeding horses are out of touch with
the war office, and are giving up what
might be a sound and fairly lucrative
part of their business.
Such facts as these ought to open
the eyes of alert America whose ia
cilities for stock raising are unlimited.
All the peace congresses in the world
will never prevent war. nor will wars
ever cease until man has assumed a
Gar higher plane and far higher civil
ization than he enjoys today. The
struggle for existence and the survival
of the fittest will be in evidence for
many thousands of years to come, and
it will only be after the refining in
fiuence of progressive evolution has
been slowly operating towards i'm
provement for ages. that man will be

Yes, wars will go on, and horses

parts Of the country and so much
thoroughbred stock has been, and Is

Artillery, cavalry and mounted In

AGED TREASURY EMPL0Ye
Man Dead Whose Deft Fingers Once
Counted Two Million Dollars In
Ninety Seconds.

George w. Marion, cashier and as
sisSant treasurer of the United States
subtreasury, veteran of the Seventh
regiments Civil war roll and for 46
years attached to the Wall street
stronghold of government funds, died
a few days ago at his home at Roselle,
N ].
Mr.. Marion had handled billions of
dollars of American money-proba-
bly, more money than any man who
ever lived in the United States-and
his deft fingers held many records for
speed in counting bills Once he
counted $2,000000 in notes in 90 Sec
onds. The $10,0O0,00O purchases of
gold from the Bank of England, or the
Bank of France, that sometimes come
under mis- jurisdiction when the gold
was brought to the assay office, were
small routine matters to him and he
handled them with as much ease and
freedom as though they involved moth
ing more important than the purchase
of pound Of tea. Let a counterfeit
one dollar bill find its way into the
realm of the financially elect and his
trained hand and eye picked 1t out
from its legitimate fellows with I'M
erring accuracy. His sense of touch
was so acute that he could tell the
good from the bad instantly without
looking at the face of the bills.
Mr.. Marion came from the Metro
politan bank to the government serv-
ice. He had been a clerk in the bank
up to 1865, when, on May 16, of that
year, John A. Stewart, who was United
States treasurer under the Lincoln ad-
ministration. gave him place at the
subtreasury.
He began as a counter of money,
and 1t was his work in this capacity
that brought him before his superiors
and the public as a remarkably accu-
rate, fast and intelligent worker. An
idea of the amount that had to be
bounted and handled may be gained
from the statement that it was neces-
sary to court $282,O0O,O0O when Mr..
Terry was given the place of Mr.

FRENCH AMBASSADORS WIFE
Nine. Jusserand, Who Was an Amer

Our Country.

One of the most courteous and sue
cessful hostesses in the diplomatic
corps in Washington is Nine. Jusser-
and, wife of the French ambassador.
She was an American girl, the daugh-
ter of G. T. Richards, Boston banker,
her maiden name being Elsie Rich
ards. Apparently American women
are peculiarly adapted to fulfill the
duties of an ambassadress, for there
have been many matrimonial alliances
between young women of this country
and foreign diplomats.
Before her husband was promoted
to Washington, and while he was min
lister to Denmark, Nine. Jusserand

Too Many Boosters.

Do not keep too many male birds
as they are not needed for breeders
and are a constant expense. Hens lay
as we'll or better without them and
the eggs keep longer, are better for
storage and private customers.
Twenty hens, the best you have,
mated to two good males will produce
enough eggs for almost any farmer to
set. Even fanciers could sometimes
make more by caponizing the inferior
cockereIs than by keeping them late
and selling them at small price.
