MORE RAILROAD DOPE.

The impression is steadily gaining
ground on both sides of the interna-
tiOnal boundary line that the Hill rail-
road is figuring on quick action get
ting in a line between OrOville and
Penticton. Ever since Lewis Hills
tour through this upper country, in
company with a number of Great Nor
thern officials, rumor has been per-
sistent, and there is evident founda
ton for the rumOr, that construction
between the two points mentioned is a
possibility of the present summer. Such
a spoke in the railroad system leading
out OF and into OrOville would be a
most advantageous arrangement for
the town and all the country to the
north on both sides of the line. 1T is
consummation devoutly to be
wished" and there seems every rea
son to hope that it may be realized
The following extract from an article
published in the Coalmont Courier of
recent date throws some interesting
light on the railroad situation:
1t has also leaked out that the tug
being built at Kelowna, ostensibly for
private purchaser. is really being
built by the Great Northern. By put
ting on a steamer on OkanOgan lake,
and by the construction of their line,
from Penticton to Oroville, to the
building of which Mr.. Hill definitely
committed himself in Vancouver, the
Great Northern and the Canadian Nor
thern would have a line running from
Wenatchee on the south. right through
Central British Columbia and out to
the prairie. What this will mean even
tually as far as competitive rates on
fruit shipments are concerned can
readily be imagined"

4 CLOSE CALL.

Otto Mills was severely shaken up
and bruised Monday. and has had
very narrow escape from serious II
not fatal accident. He was recently
appointed to patrol the railroad be
tween Oroville and the front to watch
out for fires, and was given gasoline
speeder in order that he might travel
rapidly Monday while travelling at
high rate of speed, near Princeton, ne
shot around curve and slammed IN
to hand car loaded with section
crew. There was sudden FOUNTAIN
of humanity, and when the people ana
things struck the earth and the DEBRIS
was cleaned up young Mills was dis-
covered to be considerably Jared, ana
sporting a superfuity of bruises ana
cuts evidence that he had struck
something. The speeder was complete
ly demolished, and looking over the
wreck one wonders how the rider es-
caped with his life. SO far as conla
be learned no one else was hnrt worth
mentioning Mills was Drought 10

LUNDSTRUM--.JONES.

A very happy matrimonial union
was consumated Wednesday of last
week. when two well known and pop
ular residents of Ellemeham mountain
were united in marriage. The princi-
pals in the hymeneal contract We're
Ed Lundstrum and Mrs. Florence
Jones. both homesteaders on the
mountain. The ceremony was per-
formed at COnconully, and was wit
messed by Mr.. and Mrs. Orly Johnson,
who accompanied the couple to the
county seat for that purpose. The
bridal party was conveyed to COncOn-
ully in r. c. JohnsOns motor car, re-
turning the same day. The groom is
steady, sturdy and prosperous far
mer. we'll known throughout the nor
thern part of the county, and is uni
versally liked by neighbOrs and ac-
quaintances for his sterling character.
The bride is most worthy and cap
able lady, enjoying the respect and es-
TEEN of all who know her. In the
neighhorhoOd where they have re-
sided for so long time, and have
taken their part in the social life, this
marriage is looked upon as a most
fortutous joining together of two per-
sons evcellently adapted to make each
other happy. If Mr.. and Mrs. Lund-
strums future proves 20 be as bright
and prosperous as what Is wished for
them by their friends, they certainly
have many joys and pleasures in life
to look forward to.

OKANOGAN PIONEERS.

The meeting of the Okanogan Coun-
ty Pioneers association, held In Ruby
canyon short time ago, was not so
well attended as 1t should have been,
owing largely to inclement weather.
An effort is being made to increase
the membership. Speaking of the or
ganization the Conconully Record
says:
THE requirements for membership
in the association are residence in
the county for at least fifteen years.
Every resident who has lived In Ok
anogan county for that length Of
,:me is desired as a member, the
necessary application blanks being
obtainable by writing to the secre-
tary.
The officers of the association are:
C. Fl. Fate. president; P. H. Pinkston,
vice president; H. T. Jones, secretary
treasurer A board of five trustees
was elected as follows: c. H. Love-
JOY, j. NJ. Risley, F. M. Dallam, ID. S.
Gamble, A. J. Tugaw.
The next meeting of the association
will be at Riverside, in June, 1913. the
exact date to be later announced by
the officials of the association"

the county, and that Is recommen-
dation for any land adapted to the
growth of fruit. The plan of pro-
cedure is along the same lines as that
of the East and West OkanOgan Val
ley Irrigation systems, and the Brew
ster project. The aim of the move
ment is to organize district under
the state law providing for such an
object 1t is the aim to use water by
gravity system, conveying 1t by
fumes and bitches from TOats cOula
creek, the source of supply. One of
the provisions is a reservoir for stor-
age purposes in TOats cOula, a feas-
able plan. as there is vast amount of
water coming down the creek in the
spring, and there are numerous sites
where dam can be put in. The spon-
sors for the movement, including large
land owners in the proposed district.
have not as yet systemiZed the plans
to be carried out, but they claim 1t to
be a practicable project, promising
great benefits to the holders of lands
under the ditch. The claim cannot be
questioned. Wherever semi-arid land
can be watered it is a great benefit to
all concerned. The preliminary work
in this movement is to place the petit
tion before the county commissioners
to be acted on, and this will be done
the last of this, or the first of next
week. If it meets with the approval
and endorsement of the commission
ers further steps will be taken toward
perfecting an organization and carry
ing out the project Should 1t mater
ialize it means the reclamation of an
other large acreage in Okanogan coun-
ty. and tributary to Oroville, thus pro-
viding a way to open up more orchard
lands and to add heavily to the asses
sable valuation of real property in
the north part of the county.

Membership in the Order has grown

rapldity. and includes scores of good
IellowS, VINO are alive to the true
meaning OF the symbolical letters f
l.. i. The first seeds of Odd Fellow
ship were planted at the little mining
camp of LoOmis. When Okanogan

was the live town of the county. II
started with a healthy membership.
and is still in a tlourishing condition.
although the transformation time has
wrought in the community has scat
tered many of the original members
over the face of the earth. Since the
parent lodge was instituted at Loomis
lodges have been organized in various
parts OF the county, and in most cases
members of the LOomis lodge have
taken an active part in the starting of
the new lodges. Today. besides the
one at LOomis, there are lodges at
Oroville, Chesaw. Angln, Conconully
Riverside, OkanOgan, Brewster, Pater-
os and Twisp. They have done much
to alleviate suffering, to aid brethren
in distress, show the last respects to
the dead and to relieve the widow and
orphan.
Odd Fellowship the man entitled
to the name is true to the principles
of the Order. if he consistently lives
up to his obligations-cannot fail to
morally benefit the man who has TAX

tiOns of membership. Ii is not
claimed that the mere fact OF joining
a lodge regenerates a man. The weak
ness and foibles of mankind can no
more be eliminated by entering
lodge than they can he eliminated by
Legislative enactment. But the man
who is earnest in his efforts to abide
by the obligations that he assumes
cannot fail to be better husband,
better father. and a better citizen. OF
course men get into an Odd Fellow
lodge. as they do into every Organiza-
ton of whatsoever kind. who are alb
sOlutely ignorant of the meaning of
friendship, love and truth. The Order,
however should not be judged by an
occasional derlict, for the man who is
once an Odd Fellow, and is shy in the
practice of the teachings laid down
for his guidance by the ritual of the
Order. is an exception to the rule.
However. this item was not started
as a dissertation on Odd Fellowship.
or what Odd Fellowship stands for.
The object was to call attention to
the fact that a new lodge is to be Or
ganized at Tonasket tomorrow night,
and that the prospective members OF
that lodge are making extensive plans
for entertaining all members who may
visit the town on that date and par
ticipate In the proceedings. This pa
per can promise all who attend
hearty welcome and treatment of the
most hospitable nature. A large del
egation from OrOville will be on hand
to assist in the ceremonies. Sam Sim
cock, veteran Odd Fellow, and one
of the charter members of the l.oOmis
lodge is responsible for the new can
didate, and through his efforts the in

start out on sound footing and with
large membership. That all who
are in and of the party aiding in the
good work will have a jolly time goes
without the saying.

SHORT END OF THE SCORE.

The local ball club had disastrous
experience on the southern tour Sat
urday and Sunday, and the boys had
two defeats checked up against them,
one anything but creditable, and the
other not so bad, although much in the
nature of gift to the opponents. The
trip was made short handed, but the
substitutes were not responsible for
the loss of the games. The result
might have been the same with a full
team. Games were played at Okanog-
an and Omak, and the result was the
same, only a little worse in one case
than in the other. The first game was
played Saturday afternoon, at Okan-
ogan, when O'Brien and Hart were the
battery for Oroville, and resulted in a
one sided victory for Okanogan by
score of to 1. This Waterloo has not
as yet been explained to the satisfac-
tion of the hackers of the locals, al
though some of the players have con-
feSsed that errors were largely re-
sponsible for the poor showing Davis
was reserved to go against his old
team mates at Omak, and he pitched
Sunday afternoon with his usual effec-
tivcness, but the support behind him
was somewhat ragged at very critical
moments. and the boys lost by score
of 3 to |. Two of the Oroville boys,
who are the most reliable to do the
right thing at the right moment, went
batty and did the wrong thing at the
wrong moment, and in consequence
the Omaks had another scalp at their
belts. Witnesses of the game state
that it was one of the fastest and best
exhibitions of ball playing seen in the
county this year. The absence of
Blackler was felt, but young Beverly
Powell who was taken along to fill
the gap, did better than some of the
older players. The trip was a hard
one going down, as one of the ma
chimes bucked. and the excursiOnists
did not reach Okanogan until time for
the game, although they left here at
