just as the officers were ready to pick
him up he managed to slip through
their fingers.
Jess Davis has regained his cunning
as pitcher, Judging from the result
of game played recently between
the Okanogan and Omak clubs. Davis,
who pitched for Oroville last season,
is with Okanogan this year, and he
won his game by a score of to 0,

he will land in professional company.
J. F. Samson, who has lived in the
valley long and has a good memory
as to what has happened in the past,
states that the valley was visited by
very heavy frost IN the latter part
of April 1908, and at that time no
damage was done to fruit trees. This
encourages the hope that the exper-
fence of Monday night may not prove
so serious as some people are lead to
fear.

some weeks, and his friends decided
that he should enter a hospital where

The usual spring predictions of
high water are being INDUCED in. 1t
is pointed out as grounds for such
predictions that there has been a late
spring, that there is still much snow
in the mountains and when the wealth
er does turn off hot it is so late in the
season that the heat will be contin-
uous, consequently the snow in the
high places will melt rapidly. The
danger is not so eminent, however,
as to justify householders on the fiat
investing in life RATS.
Dave Ionic, an experienced mill
man who went from this place to Re-
public to work in the mines last year,
returned to his old love Monday, 60
ing to work at once at the round
house, where he is at least sure of his
pay check, an evidence of
payment for labor performed, he says,

that is creating feeling of uneasi-
ness as to the future of mining oper-
ations in that camp.

unpleasantly surprised Monday morn
ing when they rolled out of bed and
discovered all the surrounding hills

chilly ingredient was dangerously low
down for health and we'll being of
fruit in the valley. While the air was
chilled by the white neighbor, there
had been no frost during the night,
thanks to cloudy sky and a steady
wind, and no damage resulted. This
snow fall so close on the coming in of

usually late spring for this section of
the state.
