Mr.. A. J. Dickson,

I half expected to zee in the last

last week in the issue dated Novembcr

she could have written a story coa-

interested me just as much, as there
are always more sides than one to q
question.
Mrs. W. claims that the women arc

cities because they don t want to work

exodus from the country to the cit,
and I do not know of any deserted
ranches anywhere in this country. If
she can show me ranch entirely de-

never a ranch to start with. but a place
that if crow flew over she would
have to carry a lunch along with her
or go hungry to bed. I don't blame
any one to quit place Of that kind.
I blame them for going there in the
first place. although they should b.
justified, for lack Of good sense
causes lots of trouble. We boast Of
our education, but what good is IN

CHRISTMAS SALE AT LOOMS

The Ladies' Aid of Loomis has ar
ranged to hold the annual Christmas
sale on December 12. In conjunction
with the sale a nickel supper will
be served. The public must not i'm
agine that the quality of the supper is
TO correspond to the size of the price.
The members of Loomis Ladies' Aid
are not in the habit of giving nothins
for something. The nickel supper will
catch the masses, and for the small
contribution the masses will be sup
piled with a class of provender they
have been in the habit of paying more
money for. The articles on sale will
embrace both the useful and ornament
al, and of character appropriate for
holiday presents. There will be con-
tributor's booth in conjunction with
the sale, and any one desiring to aid
the cause, whether it be fancy work,
fruit, vegetables, or any other article,
will confer favor by leaving the same
at the Palmer Mountain hotel, or send
ing direct to Mrs. H. P. Decent by
parcel post.

ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY

1t is not likely that any one is going
to forget that there is to be an elec-
ton in Oroville next Tuesday, De-
cember 2. Still people have fallen
into such a bad habit of failing to
exercise the right of franchise that ii
is considered necessary to call at
tention to the fact that an election is
to take place, and to urge every legal
voter to turn out and cast his or her
ballot. Elections are becoming so
frequent that people are growing in
dlfferent and negligent, and have al
most ceased to take an interest in the
great democratic privilege of being
party to government. The election
Tuesday is not an important one, still
every citizen should be interested in
selecting the men who are to have
charge OF administering municipal af-
falrs during the coming year. No
harm will befall the town if any three
OF the candidates for council before
the people are elected, but a full vote
sill show that the people are inter-
ested in local affairs, and those who
are chosen will be named by the ex-
pressed preference of a majority of
the qualified electors. Polls will be
in the town hall. Vote early. In this
DAY and age you cannot vote often

DlSCREDITABLE EXHIBITION

Neither Dooley p. Wheeler nor ].
w. Carrel has a record as an expon-
ent of the manly art of self-defens ;,
yet it would seem from their perform
ance last Friday evening that they are
not averse to settling disputes with
natures weapons. Between D and 6
o'clock on the evening mention |
those two neighbors met on Main
street and engaged in wordy contro-
versy over the merits of some road
construction in which both are inter-
ested. Language anything but com
plimentary was INDUCED in by both
individuals, and it is alleged that Mr.
Carrel struck Mr.. Wheeler under the
excitement of the wordy war. Whether
through resentment of the words spo-
ken, or the blow delivered. matters
not, Mr.. Wheeler invited Mr.. Carrel
to accompany him out of towp to set
tie their misunderstanding By the ap-
proved methods resorted TO by glad
iators of the prize ring. Accompanied
by few witnesses they repaired to
the north side of the bridge across the
Okanogan river at the creamery. AS

AFTER PLACER GOLD

The company that has been quietly
1T work for two or three months
constructing a huge barge to be used
in carrying on placer mining at Rich
Bar, on the Similkameen river. has
had brief setback. The barge was
completed and fully equipped with
machinery two weeks ago. Last week
fire was started under the boiler pre-
liminary to beginning active opera
tions but some part of the machinery
broke down, and further proceedings
were delayed for a fortnight. The
company is certainly in earnest, and
propose to thoroughly test the river
bed and bars for gold. Much money
has been spent in preparations and
preliminary work has been carried
on without publicity. Attention will
be given to the river bed, and two
divers have been added to the force
to assist in carrying on operations.

were declared the nominees of the

OF the caucus for treasurer A mo-
ton was adopted that the ticket as
named should be known as the "Citi-

1t would hardly be expected that
selections made by this caucus-or
any other caucus that could be held.
no matter by whom called, or how
many attended,-would satisfy every
body, yet more fortunate choice of
candidates could hardly have been
made If every citizen of the town had
been present and expressed a pref

perience as councilman, and in that
office has made an excellent record
He has been radical ON no issue pre-
sented before the body of whcih he
was a member, is fair and lust in
recognizing the requirements of all
portions of the town. and has always
believed In an administration of eff
ficiency and economy. His record in
office should be sufficient endorse
ment to insure his reelection. His
running mates are well-known citi-
zens and taxpayers who have the best
interests of the whole community at
heart. There may be scores of men
who could fill the positions with equal
satisfaction to the public, yet only
three could be selected by the caucus.
and few can find fault with those
named Friday evening. If elected the
three gentlemen named, in conjunc-
tion with the hold overs, Messrs.
Pourtales and Murray, would make
one of the ablest councils that has
ever had charge of town affairs since
incorporation.
