ODD FELLOWS DANCE.

The Odd Fellows are making prep.
arations to open their new hall with a
grand ball and card party on the even
ing Of October II. 1t will be one OF
the most important social events OF
the season of 1914, and will attract
the largest crowd that has ever at
tended function Of the kind in Oro-
vile. There will be dancing for the
young, and more mature who enjoy
that delectable pastime, while there
will be tables for card playing for
those who have outlived the agility OF
the waltz, or have no weakness for
the dizzy exercise. The Odd Fellows
know how to entertain so as to
squeeze a maximum Of pleasure in the
few hours Of night that are to be given
over to the joyous festivities, and
those who fail to be of the gay gather
ing will have cause to always regret
standing out against a good thing.
Not by any means will the supper be
the least attraction of the great social
event. The Rebekahs will have charge
of the gastronomic feature of the CON-
bined dance and card party, and the
fact that the ladies of the organization
are to be the providers insures prov
ender of toothsomeness that would
tickle the palate of the most exacting
epicure.

HOME AGAIN.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Powell, jr, re-
turned home from their wedding tour
on the outside Friday last, and are
settled in their temporary home in the
north part of town. Mrs. Powell was
Miss Florence Mills, eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Mills, and has
grown up to womanhood in Oroville
She is a charming and winsome young
lady, and during the time she acted as
assistant in the postOffice won the es-
TEEN and respect of the patrons OF
that Office by her uniform cheerful
ness and courtesy. Mr. Powell is the
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A..
Powell, ST., and he also has grown up
from boyhood in Loomis and Oroville
A most lkeable and worthy young
man is Mr.. Powell, and all who know
him, and their name is legion, wish
him and his young helpmate a long
happy and prosperous life in matri-
monial harness.

AN UNPROFITABLE TRIP.

The Oroville high school football
team performed about the same stunt
DIS the nursery rhyme accredites tn
'ne King OF France, who with twice
zen thousand men marched up the hill,
ana then marched. down again. The
team went to Omak, according IN
previously arranged schedule. and
.nen came home again without play
ing the game. The failure to punish
me pig skin was no fault of the Oro-
vile lads. for they were willing m
enter the lis.s. When they lined IN
ior the game the Omak players object
ed 10 Leslie Stansbury, Oroville's full
oack, taking part in the game. claim
ing that he was passed the age limit
rrof. Courtnay took a very fair and
sportsmanlike stand in the contro-
Versy. He stated that Mr.. Stansburv
was registered in school as 20 years
Vi age and that was the only evidence
he had as to the young mans age. He
offered to play the game and r. Oro-
vile won to forfeit the game should
further investigation prove that Mr.
otahspury was over 21. This did not
suit the Omak team, and as there was
10 one TO fill Stansbury's place the
game was called off. This paper does
not pretend to know the merits of
the game, but there is one point the
Omak players should have taken into
consideration. 1t cost the Oroyille
visitors quite sum to make the trim
'esides losing the day, and most of
the members of the team can ill af-
ord to make such trips, and especial-
'y Is this hardship when games are
thrown on trivial excuses. In any
game an unfair advantage cannot be
excused or cOndoned, but in this in
stance the Oroville squad was acting
IN perfectly good faith so far as the
manager and players are concerned
Furthermore the Omak lads made a
crave mistake, as the Oroville boys
nave never played game of football
Judging from the plucky scrap the
Omaks put up against Conconully, a
far heavier team in the aggregate than
Oroville, they understand the game
and would have had far the best of il
against the visitors, even with Stans-
hury on the firing line. The fiasco was
exceedingly unfortunate from every
point of view.

Stopped OVER,

j. d. Mcdonald, a resident some
where down the valley, threw too
many high balls into himself Satur-
day evening, and Marshal Payne found
him on the streets at very early
hour Sunday morning hunting for
some one to devour. He had very
eager appetite for human flesh, blood
raw, but Marshal Payne wore the edge
off his appetite by few lusty yanks
that ended when Nc was under lock
and key. Judge Samson is probably
the most accommodating police Judge
in the wide, wide world. Mcdonald
wanted to catch the early morning
train down the valley so Mr.. Samson
held court especially for his benefit
between and o'clock Monday morn
ing. Mcdonald was assessed the rul-
ing price for plain drunks, S. and
flounces, and thanks to the courtesy
of the judge was able to make his
train on time.

A BIG RUN.

During the past two weeks this Of
flee has printed over 10000 booster
envelopes. On the back of the envel-
ope is design worked in three colors.
showing section of Washington and
British Columbia, along the interna-
tional boundary, with the position of
Oroville conspicuously noted in rela-
ton to Spokane and Wenatchee on the
cast side of the Cascades, and Seattle,
Bellingham and Vancouver on the west
side. Most of the business men have
taken large numbers of these hand
some advertising envelopes, and they
will go forth to all the world telling
the story of Oroville's admirable To-
cation in the richest part of the state.
The long run of over $4,000, together
with the other necessary work about
the shop, has kept the Gazette force
out of mischief for many days.

ALFALFA SPECIAL TRAIN
S Due to Arrive at Orov!lel
Next Friday Morning
October 18th
THE LOCAL COMMERCIAL CLUB
Will Unite With the Farmers In
Extending to the Visitors
Hearty Welcome

The special train upon which Prof.
Holden, the alfalfa expert is travelling
through eastern Washington, is due
to reach Oroville next Friday, October
II. The object of this tour of the
eastern part of the state is to get into
direct touch with the farmers, and
present to them in a manner they can
understand the value of alfalfa as q
farm product in conjunction with the
raising of stock. Prof. Holden is rated
as an authority upon the subject of
alfalfa. His knowledge of this forage
plant, it's value as fertilizer and
nutritious food for stock, has been
gained by experience, experiment and
close study. He has happy faculty
of imparting to others what he knows
about this great food plant, which has
been neglected for too long time by
farmers, and he has been secured to
go among those who till the soil and
enlighten them upon the subject. Prof.
Holden is accompanied by experts in
other lines of agriculture, and the in
formation that can be gained by at
tending the lectures will be along di-
versified lines and of inestimable
value to those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. The visit of Prof. Holden
and his companions to Oroville and the
Okanogan valley is one of the most
i'm nnrtont TO fhak kn1
place, and every farmer who cap pos
sibly do so should attend the lectui -,
rs they will learn much that will aid
them in bettering their condition in a
material way. A committee of the To-
cal Commercial Club will make ar
rangements for the reception Of Prof.
Holden, and secure such quarters for
accommodating those in attendance
as is necessary. While the subjects
of the lectures are more important
to those engaged in farming, yet there
is much of an instructive and enter
tanning nature that will make them
interesting to people living in town.
This special train has been cover
ing the country south and west of Spo-
kane during the past two weeks, and
everywhere the excursionists have met
with rousing receptions, Judging from
the press reports of the itinerary.
Much interest has been awakened in
the growing of alfalfa, and as a result
of this tour large acreage will be de-
voted to that species of plant in the
future. The trip of Prof. Holden is an
educational experiment, and will un-
doubtedly result in great good.

ENLARGING HIS QUARTERS.

Postmaster Mills has worked a
transformation on the interior of the
postoffice, and those who have been in
the habit of lingering in the lobby in
the evening will find the space very
much curtailed. The boxes have been
swung directly across the room, near
er the entrance, reducing the size of
the front space, but leaving ample
Dom to accommodate the public. The
change was made in order to provide
more room for the working force. I'm
der the old arrangement only about
half, or even less, of the room was oc-
cupied by the postmaster and his as
sistants. Under the new arrangement
about two-thirds of the room is back
of the boxes. The business of the Of
fee is steadily growing, and the new
parcel postal law has greatly increas-
ed the work and the demand for space,
and made an enlargement of the office
proper absolutely necessary.

of death was heart failure. On the

OF death was heart failure. On the
proceeding Monday Mrs. Schaffer was
operated upon by DR.. Elmer. The op-
Grafton was not a serious one, and the
patient rallied at once and nicely from
the first shock. The wounds gave
her no serious trouble, she seemed to
be improving with remarkable rapid
ity, and she was in an exceptionally
cheerful frame of mind. The doctor
has rarely had a case that responded
30 readily and promptly to treatment
nor one where the patient suffered SO
little inconvenience. Saturday morn
ing early Mrs. Schaffer was in high
spirits. She was making plans to re-
ceive and entertain expected visitors
during the day, laughed and joked with
her daughter. and ordered a hearty
breakfast for an invalid. Suddenly
about o'clock, and without warning
she swooned, and died within a very
few minutes. DR.. Elmer was hastily
called, but the unfortunate woman was
beyond all earthly aid.
Funeral services were held Sunday
evening at the late home of the de-
ceased, Rev. G. H. Severance officiat-
ing. A large number of relatives and
friends were present, and the floral
tributes were profuse and beautiful.
The remains were taken to Spokane
Monday for interment, and were ac-
companied on the sad journey by Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Hill, MIR. and Mrs. A.
c. Getchel and Mr.. and Mrs. AL. Sal
ing.
Katherine Isabel Schaffer came of a
family Of western pioneers. her par
ents crossing the plains to Utah in
1S46. She was born at Ogden, Utah,
December 2, 1865. hence was almost
4S years of age. She spent her life
in the west, coming to Okanogan coun-
ty some nine years ago, at first To-
eating on a ranch near Nelson. With
little means, but indomnitable energy
she took up ranch, and without aid
held her land until she made final
proof and raised her family, showing
courage and will power possessed by
few Of her sex. She has lived in Oro-
Vile since leaving her farm. She was
twice married. She is survived by one
son, AL. Sailing of this place, two
daughters, Mrs. A. L. Hill, of Oro-
Vile, and Mrs. A. c. Getchel, of Grand

WENATCHEE FAIR,

Wenatchee, October 6.-Scores Of
people are coming long distances,
many from Chicago and other eastern
cities, to witness the worlds greatest
apple show, the Fair Hesperides at
Wenatchee, October 21-25. This val
ley has sent many exhibits to out
side points. 1t has been the most dis
tinguished and honored winner of
first prizes and sweepstakes at worlds
fairs and national apple shows; but
never has a truly representative ex-
hibit of fruits from this valley ever
been assembled. Such an exhibit will
be seen for the first time on Tuesday,
October 81, 1918.
So general has been the response
by growers that although 25 boxes .;
the largest single entry permitted,
there will be close to 1000 boxes of
'ize apples displayed. The plate an I
single box entries will be most strik-
ing. for hundreds of growers are Sc
lecting only the very most wonderful
specimens to be found in their or
chards.
The writer has gone through scores
of orchards the past two weeks. Ir
almost every place the owner has
pointed out with pride some beautiful
Winesap. or Spitzenberg. or Jonathan.
Every man was sure his entry will
win first prize. The frequency Of
this experience brought conviction
that a remarkable show is about to
take place.
$500 has been appropriated for
music during the fair. Most of the
cash goes for the crack army musical
organization. the 14th Infantry Band
of Fort Lawton. There will be two
concerts daily, each from one hour
and half to two hours in length.
Street parades every day are being
planned and prepared for with great
care and expense. One of the most
novel will be the work horse preces-
sion and contest on railroad celebra-
ton day. Thursday. Three hundred
teams with wagon loads of boxed ap-
pies will be in line competing for a
cash prize to the best kept team
On Saturday the most attractively
decorated auto will get prize. There
will be beautiful floats, animal stunts
and many other novel features to make
the parades interesting and different
every day.

AN ASSAY OFFICE.

C. w. Smith, who does the assaying
for the Owasco mine, will put up an
assay office in town in order to be
within convenient reach of those
wanting custom work done. He has
constant applications for assaying,
with over 100 orders on hand at the
present time. 1t is incOnvenient to
reach Mr.. Smith at the mine, and with
an office in town he will be better
prepared to handle local orders. Mr..
Smith is a careful and thorough as
sayer, and when he gets through with
a test the result can be depended upon
as representing all that there is in the
samples, whether much or little.

GETTING IN SHAPE.

With the pressed brick walls reaching
upward the new hotel is taking on shape
SO one can form an idea of what a strik-
ing handsome structure it will be when
finally completed. The red brick make
the very best showing and those artists
of the trowel that Superintendent Stan,
ley has gathered together know how tc
set the brick in the wall to make the very
best showing. A few more days of good
weather and the walls will be roof high
and when once covered in the carpenters
will soon have the interior in shape foi
occupancy. A great and striking addi-
tion to the town will the big hotel be
when ready to throw open to the public
without its equal in appearance and SER
vice in any of the towns in the state out
side Of the very largest cities.

WEARY OF FARMING.

c. Umschied left for Spokane Tues
day, and while in that city will make an
effort to dispose Of 800 acres of farm land
that he owns In Horse Spring coulee,
either for cash or trade for city property.
Mr.. Umschied Is tailor, and has piled
his trade in Chesaw, Loomis and Oroville
during the past seven or eight years. He
managed to secure title to two ranches
in Horse Spring coulee by undergoing the
hardships that are necessary to acquire
ownership to government land. He is
tired of farming. and is in hopes of be-
ing able to dispose Of his possessions and
locate in Spokane.

ANOTHER CASE DEVELOPED.

Another case of small pox developed
Monday, and the victim, who is not
seriously Ill, is confined in the temporary
pest house on the Okanogan river east
of town. It was not a citizen Of the
town who has contracted the disease. but
a brother Of the patient already occupy
ing the pest house, and his name is E.
D. Laughed. Lougheed has been work.
ing with the railroad gang. near Ophir,
and he either caught the disease from
his brother, or from the same source
from which 1t was accumulated by the
brother. So far no resident of the town
has been affected. and every precaution
will be taken to prevent further spread
of the dread ailment.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

The community was dreadfully
shocked Saturday morning upon
learning of the sudden death of Mrs.
X. I. Schaffer, we'll known resident
of Oroville, and the feeling of sorrow
was intensified as the deplorable ia
tality followed so soon after the tragic
fate of J. p. Anderson. The cause
