SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The Eighth Annual Convention of
the Okanogan Sunday School Associa
tiOn, held at Oroville, June 12 and l3,
was a great success. The people of
OrOville treated the delegates royalty.
A dinner and lunch was served Thurs

this there were lunches put up for the
delegates who had to drive long dis
tances to their homes.
Thursday noon the entire cOnven-

Rev. c. j. Boppell, of Spokane, former
ly secretary of he Inland Empire S. s.
Association, was present and gave
three addresses. Eighty-five delegates
registered. Out of thirty-one Sunday
schools in the county, twenty-One
We're represented at roll call.
In awarding the premium" pennant
Prof. e. c. Knapp spoke highly of the
work done in the Sunday schools of
our county. He says, "Okanogan
county has inspired mere Sunday
schools to high effort than any other
county In the Inland Empire. Every
convention ] am in, some one asks
what OkanOgan county is doing" He
claims the distinction of being our
county's biggest booster
There are three districts in this
county, OsOyoOs, Methow and Okanog
an. The last week in September Prof.
Knapp will hold two conventions in
each district, making six conventions
in all.
Our county has again set up new
standard when a department of evan
gelism was created something never
before done in Sunday school work.

OUT WITH THE FLOOD.

J. Frlis. the creamery man, recently
met with heavy loss, when cur
rent motor he had Invested In and
just installed broke from its mOorings
on the. Similkameen river. and was
dashed to pieces over the falls. Mr..
Friis owns a desert claim on the river.
from which there Is certainty of
future returns when water Is once dis
tributed in abundance thereon, and
also placer claim, above the falls,
from which the returns are altogether
problematical. Mr.. Friis's idea was
along the lines of killing two birds
with one stone. That Is. his invest
ment In water motor was for the
purpose OF irrigating the desert claim
In the proper season, and afterwards,
or before, Just rs you hav mind to
interpret 1t, to use the current acting
pump to wash out the yellow evil ON
the placer claim. The first test was
to be made on the placer ground, as
the returns are quicker through pla
Ger mining, where gold In paying
quantities Is present In the dirt, than
where there is long wait for trees to
reach maturity and bear fruit He in
vested in one Of Ed. Cox's patent cur
rent ;ssOtors, one of the best in use,
and the machine was installed at the
placer claim. Just when the motor
was In perfect working order, the wire
rope with which 1t was anchored to
the shore snapped, and the motor and
pump shot out into the raging Simil-
kameen and was carried over the falls.
1t was a serious loss, as the plant rep
resented an investment of several hun
dred dollars and in order to water the
desert claim, to say nothing OF recov-
eringthe gold that may be hid away
in the placer ground, 1t will be neces-
sary for Mr. Friis to provide some
means of pumping water.

Summary-Two base hits, Blackler.
Struck out BY Davis 10; by Charl-
ton 4. Base on balls-Off Charlton Z;
off Davis l. Hit by pitched ball-By
Davis l. Umpire--Dr. Masters. Time
of game 2:30.
There was not run earned on eth
er side.
Davis is keeping up his reputation
for strike outs. He was entitled to a
credit OF IA.
Charlton is a rattling good pitcher,
but he went overheard in the sixth
and seventh innings.
Up to the sixth inning the game was
close and interesting, Notwithstanding
the opening errors, and promised to
be hard contest, but the awful sixth
settled it.
The batting was very weak on both
sides. Only one fly was caught in the
out field, Wilson getting the honor
and only a very few balls went in the
air outside of the diamond.
The present team, with little prac-
tice. is about as strong combination
of players as the town has ever had.
1t does not seem natural to see q

much to his disgust. Had he been al

visitors would have been whitewashed
