IMMIGRATION BUILDING.

After many days the powers that
have the directing of such work have
ordered the construction of an i'm
migration building at the depot as an
office for the corps of immigration Of
ficers stationed at this point, and as
accommodations for immigrants un-
dergoing inspection. This building
was promised last spring, but Official
business moves ponderously, and or
ders for actual work have Just been
received. Workmen and material will
be on the ground in few days and
construction commenced. The build
ing will be 30x30, located between the
tracks just east of the passenger de-
pot. AS to size there is not a great
deal of it to boast of, but as filling a
long felt want as a shelter to the Of

A LONG TIME RESIDENT.

C. A. Ledgerwood, Of Colville, was a
visitor in town Tuesday. He was not
looking for land investments. His
visit was for a much sterner purpose.
He is a travelling guard at the Walla
Walla penitentiary, and when his
'orm is projected into the scenery it
is for the purpose of removing some
living object from the landscape. But
that is his business, and he performs
his duty promptly and efficiently when
he has a duty to perform. His pres
ence is mentioned more particularly
because he is one of the pioneers of
the Colville valley, and the writer
knew him when he was of more tender
years than he is today. Ledgerwood
has seen great changes in this north
land in his day and generation. The
country has undergone transformation
but Ledgerwood has changed but little
except in the accumulation of years
and is an genial as in the days OF
yOre.

GETTING DOWN TO CASES,

Doctor Bill SeXson and his estim-
able wife, together with Will Irby
are located at Kansas City, where the
doctor and the younger William are
delving into the intricate study of
surgery in one case and pharmacy in
the other. They were to accumulate
knowledge under those heads at Chi
cago and Omaha, but switched to the
hog packing town where the chances
of getting what they went east for
is just as good as in the other cities
mentioned. Doc Sexton writing to
this paper and reeling off some of
his experience in part says: I'VE have
had an extra fine trir, barring the hot
weather. Unfortunately we missed
Billy in Spokane, and did not meet
up with him until reaching Omaha.

NEW EPISCOPAL RECTOR,

Rev. G. II. Severance, who is to
have charge of the Episcopal mission

county with his residence in Oroville,
arrived the latter part of last week
and held his first services Sunday.
Heretofore the entire county has been
Under the charge of Rev. Nash, with
headquarters at Brewster, but the ter
ritory was entirely too large for one
nan to cover, hence the Bishop de-
cided to divide the field by putting
another minister in the north end.
Rev. Severance will have Oroville,
Tonasket, Loomis, Conconully and
Riverside under his charge. The new
minister is young man who came
west direct from New York city, elect
ing to give up a good and lucrative
position to enter upon missionary
work in field where everything Is
crude in comparison with what he has
been used to. This self-sacrifice Is
an indication that the young man is
earnest and sincere in his desire to
carry on church work where the re-
ward is meagre either from a spiritual
u material point of view. Personally
Mr. Severance is most likeable young
gentleman, and has made very fav-
orable impression upon all whom he
has met He adapts himself Very
readily to his new surroundings, which
is greatly to his credit when one takes
into consideration the vast contrast
between a stately cathedral with its
rich appointments and the big con-
gregations of great city church, and
a shell of frame building with audi
ences that hardly make a showing In
room that would accommodate only
4 small crowd if packed to the limit
of it's CAPACITY.

A MUTILATED CAR.

Mention is made elsewhere of Del
Wood having gone to Midway after Ar
thur Lund's automobile that had brOk-
en- an axle. Mr.. Wood reached Oro-
Vile with the car Tuesday, but 1t was
a shocking wreck that came limping
over the road. Mr.. Wood had tribula-
tions of his own en- route to Oroville,
md incidentally narrowly escaped be-
ing impaled on the tongue of wagon.
II appears that while leisurely skid
ding along the highway between Che
saw and Molson, and when within
mile or two of the latter place, team
of horses attached to a heavy wagon
came gayly ambling down the road.
II was quite dark, but Wood had side
lights out to ward off spooks and
never dreamed of trouble as he came
m q full stop. The horses came
straipht at the car and there was
mighty crash as the head on COLLISION
occurred. The front of the car looks
as though it had been hit by a loco
motive and is awfully mussed up. The
mud guards are crumpled both the

FINE DAIRY CATTLE

Monday Otto Rhemke, who has a
choice valley ranch short distance
south of Oroville, arrived from the
east with % head of registered cattle.
most of them two-year-Old heifers. of
the HolsteinFriesan breed. One of
the animals, four years old, has a
record of q pounds of butter fat a
week. The cattle were purchased at
Whitewater, Beaver Dam and Fox
Lake, Wisconsin, and is one of the
finest lots of dairy stock ever brought
into the county. Mr.. Rhemke has be-
come a blooded stock faddest, or en-
thusiast, and through his instrumen-
tality large number of choice dairy
cows have been introduced into the
valley. Last spring he shipped in
from Wisconsin 33 head of HOlsteins,
all of which he has disposed of. He
will retain the last lot he has i'm
ported, and apply his attention to
dairying. This last shipment is a
very handsome collection of young
animals and their mere presence is
an incentive for the farmer to add
better grade of stock to his herd.
Mr.. Rhemke states that upward of
> head of high grade cattle. some of
them registered, have been distributed
through this part of the valley during
the past two years. This number will
be largely augmented from year to
year until the better class of dairy
cow will crowd the common scrub
stock off the earth, at least this par
ticular part of the earth.

the Lone Pine to have the ear marks

4 PAPER OF INFLUENCE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Woods and F..
G. Gates, of Wenatchee, spent We'd
nesday in Oroville. Mr.. Woods is man
ager of the Wenatchee World, and was
up here in the interests of his paper.
1t can be said without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that the World is
the largest daily paper printed in any
town the size of Wenatchee anywhere
in the west The fact is the paper is
too big for the town, that is the town
cannot really afford to support a pub
licatiOn of it's size. Instead of keeping
abreast of the growth of Wenatchee
the World has far out grown the place,
and it must be a strain to make the
ghost walk in that institution every
Saturday night. The World is in
augurating campaign to boost this
upper country and is getting much en-
couragement from the towns of the
Okanogan valley. While here Mr..
Woods met with the Commercial Club,
outlined his plan, and received con-
siderable encouragement. While this
paper is sometimes disgusted with the
wobbly editorial position of the World,
that does not influence the friendly
feeling it has for the publishers, nor
are we so narrow as to refuse to re-
cognize the importance of the World
as medium of advertising the Okano-
gan country. What this land of future
richness needs more than anything
else is wide publicity, and while the
Gazette is cheerfully doing its share
in the spread of the gospel of Okla
hogan it recognizes that any boost
through the daily press is of material
advantage.

SAM ERTEL NAKED AND CRlEO
Found Wandering About in the
South Part of Town n
Deplorable Condition

A singular case of temporary in
sanity, or loss of mind through sur
| reptitious administration of dope,
came to light Saturday. Marshal
Payne was notified that wild man
was hanging around the Stanton place,
in the extreme south part of town.
Mr.. Payne hastened out to run in the
freak, and found man, apparently
in dazed condition, who had nothing
on except an old coat. He was in
shocking condition. His legs, body
and feet were covered with scratches
and abrasions, as though the flesh
had been torn by brambles, thorns and
barbed wire. His feet were a mass
of bruises, some of them fostering the
result of travelling barefooted over
rocks and brush. He could give no
coherent account of himself, did not
know how he got into the country, and
was even unable to remember his
name. The man was taken to Con-
conully for safe keeping. Sheriff

ported the man SO far recovered
as to be able to give some account of
himself, although there is long blank
that he is unable to fill in. He gave
mis- name as Sam Ertel. He said he
had been working at Vernon, B. c.,
and left that place in an automobile
for Oroville. Then was the time his
memory became indistinct. Drink
was responsible for his going into a
state of coma. He did remember
reaching Oroville, and he claims that
when he got here he was we'll dressed
and had some money. He thinks he
was here about two days, when every
thing became blank He has a very
hazy idea as to time, and there is no
way of telling how long he was naked
and at large, for he was naked with
the exception of the old coat he had
on when arrested. Evidently some one
had peeled off all his good clothes,
cast him an old garment and let him
go wandering wherever his crazy no.
ton might lead him. From the con-
ditiOn he was in and from the nature
of the injuries to his feet he must
have been at large, helpless and in
sane, for some days. He lived on the
fruit that he picked from orchards
by instinct. as he had a few plums
in his pocket when found. 1t is the
opinion of the sheriff that some one
had given the man knock out drops
and then robbed him. He is now
under the care of physician, and
his wounds are gradually healing and
his mind becoming normal.

that might otherwise remain dormant
Prof. Courtnay has set down rules
governing those desiring to enter
athletics in the Oroville high school
that every boy should study and en-
deavor to strictly abide by. Even
those who do not participate in ath-
letics would do we'll to take the rules
to heart. They appeal to all that is
manly in boy, and no scholar can go
far wrong who will accept and follow
these rules, none of which work a
hardship on a pupil, as adherence to
them prove the motto chosen, which
interpreted means "a sound mind in
sound body" The following are the
rules:
The following rules have been sub
mitted to the respected board of di-
rectors and bear their sanction:
No student who does not attain IS
per cent in his studies is eligible for
interschOlastic meets.
No student whose monthly average
is in continual decrease shall be priv
ileged to participate in the games.
All profanity. rowdyism, Clicks"
ungentlemanly conduct and willful
disobedience shall not be tolerated and
three warnings regarding same bars
the offender.
All students must be in their re-
spective homes at $50 (the latest) in
the evening. Study is the essential
point and athletics secondary-The
motto mems sana in corpore sano"
will be faithfully observed.
Disputes arising on the field and all
athletic controversies will be adjusted
by the director and the students will
show their good training by accepting
each and every decision by the referee.
When away from home permission
to leave the student body must be
obtained from the one in charge.
No smoking is allowed on any oc-
casion or under any consideration.
All must report for practice faith
fully and punctually on order of coach.
Respect to superiors and teachers
is absolutely demanded and this rule
will be strictly enforced.
The last rule, and 1t embraces all
rule is this Be gentleman wher-
ever you are.
1t is for you to build up your school
and only constant adherence to rule
will prove successful.

SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY
With An Exceptionally Able
Staff Of Experienced and
Efficient Teachers
VERY FAVORABLE
For One of the Most Successful
Years IN the History of the
Oroville Public Schools
For One of the Most Successful

Prof. f. B. Nance arrived in Oroville
last week, and will take charge of
the Oroville public schools as super
intendent when they open next Mon
day. Mr.. Nance will occupy the R. G.
Evans residence with his family.
Judging from the recommendations
he comes supplied with the school
directors were fortunate in securing
the services of Prof. Nance. OF course
teachers are judged by what they ac-
complish in the trying position of
guiding the footsteps of youth along
the path of learning, and while travel
ing the path gather those crumbs of
knowledge that are to fit them for
life of usefulness, but when they
first assume the responsibilities of
instructor in a new community ex-
pectations of what they can do are
based upon what they have done in
the school room elsewhere. Taking
his record as a basis for expectation
the patrons of the Oroville school
have reason to anticipate one of the
most successful terms in the history
of the local school with Prof. Nance
at the helm. He is a comparatively
young man, with pleasing address,
and when one meets him the impress
sion is formed that he will make good.
Prof. Nance comes to Oroville from
Wenatchee, where he held the posi-
tion of principal for six years, and
any man who can hold that exacting
position in place as large as We
natchee for six consecutive years is of
educational timber that should fill the
bill in the management of the Oroville
school to the satisfaction of the pa
irons

letics in the Oroville high school this
year than heretofore, and Prof Court
nays success as an athletic instruct
or is responsible in no small measure
for his engagement here. 1t is not the
intention to make athletics paramount
in the school, to the neglect of studies
