A CHANGE OF PLANS,

A most unfortunate faulting in fill
ing dates for the alfalfa special in this
county occurred last week, disarang-
ing plans made by Commercial Clubs
through the valley. In the original
announcement of the coming of the
special 1t was given out that the train
would run down the valley today, and
meetings would be held at Okanogan.
Omak. Riverside and Tonasket, wind
ing up in the evening in Oroville.
Elaborate arrangements had been
made at all the stopping places for
the reception of the visitors. With
a public spirit that marks the people
of Tonasket as being the most active
boosters in the state the Commercial
Club of that place spared no expense
or trouble in laying out plans for a
reception. A large room had been pre-
pared in which the speaking was to
take place, and lunch was to be pre-
pared for those coming from a dist
ance. When every detail had been
completed word was received that the
trip down the river had been cancel
led. The only excuse given for this
change is that the branch road has not
vet been turned over to the operat
ing department of the Great Northern,
and it is a rule of the road not to run
excursions over route that is not
formerly accepted by the company.
The change Of plans is extremely un-
fortunate, and will disappoint many
people. To in a measure rectify this
failure to fill dates as advertised
speakers will come up the valley in
automobiles and deliver lecturs at the
various towns, and that was a part of
the mission of c. H. Allen on his trip
through the county last Friday.

NEEDS MACADAM.

After the late rains the main travel
ed streets in the north part of town
were a sea of mud, the crossings a
miry muck through which pedestri-
ans were compelled 10 slip, slide and
wade, smearing there feet to the ankle
Prior to the rain dust was several
inches deep on the same highways,
and mud was the natural consequent
ces of a moisture mixture. These
streets will never be different until
covered with top dressing Of gravel
or rock. The advantage of even a
shallow covering of macadam is no
ticeable on Fon-.d geet, on the south
side of the raalroaN@.s..afk When that
street was granded it was covered with
shale rock, and there is little dust or
mud on that thoroughfare so far as
the macadam extends The expense
of macadam would be heavy, but the
great improvement would be we'll
worth the cost.

ALTAR SOCIETY DANCE.


The ladies of the Altar Society of
the Catholic church announced last
week that dance would be given
Friday evening, October "a, under the
auspices of the organization. Within
the last few days the ladies have de-
cided to change the date and make
it an All Halloween dance, to be given
on the evening of Friday, October 81.
The postponement of a week will not
detract either from the attendance or
pleasure to be derived from the event.
The annual dance given by the society
is always literally patronized, and
there is no doubt but that the crowd
on the night of the 31st will be as
large as any in the past. There will
be excellent music, and a side attrac-
tion in the shape of chicken supper
that will be a strong drawing card.
