DROWNED IN THE OKANOGAN

A young man named Hardy, some
IS, years of age, living in Pleasant val
ley, on the north half was drowned
in the OkanOgan river at point five
miles above Riverside Sunday after
noon. From all that can be learned
of the accident it appears that young
Hardy and two companions rode down
to the river from their homes for the
purpose of going in swimming. They
had been in the water only few min
utes when Hardy either got into the
swift current or was taken with
cramps and became helpless. One of
his companions almost lost his life
in a desperate attempt to rescue the
drowning man. The body was re-
covered Saturday morning by a
searching party from Riverside, and
conveyed to that place. An inquest
was held and verdict of accidental
death rendered
Clay and sand are being spread in
spots on the streets where traffic has
cut up the road way and left heavy
coating of dust. This may not be as
permanent and effectual remedy for
dust as grave. or crushed rock, but
If it proves any relief from the dust
nuisance the action of the authorities
will be hailed with thanksgiving by
the population

RESIDENCES WANTED

A small residence was advertised
for rent in this paper and there were
at least a dozen applicants for that
building. This goes to show the pres
ent demand for houses, and the short
age of the supply. 1t is simply i'm
possible to find a comfortable vacant
house or any kind of vacant house
for that matter. This demand for
homes is bound to steadily increase.
1t would be good investment for
those with the means to put up cot
tages for rent. These buildings
should be decent, modern structures,
inviting tenants. Let there be no
more of the shack variety Those al
ready in existence are occupied only
because the occupants can secure
nothing better The district is put
ting up a fine school building, with
an able corps of teachers, and invi-
tation is held out for people to come
to Oroville and send the children
to school. Even if people wanted
to accent the invitation there is no
place for them to live. 1t is not
claimed that there is demand for
100, or even so new residences, but
dozen, or even twenty, would not
remain vacant very long.

CRESCENT CAFE SOLD.

Saturday negotiations that had been
pending for several days were finally
closed and the Crescent Cafe changed
hands, w. l.. Clark selling out to j.
II. Helm and w. P. Cobb. Mr.. Clark
has been in the restaurant business
off and on for the past seven years.
He has had habit of starting a cafe,
building up a lucrative business, and
then unloading. He always sells out
to quit, but refuses to stay quit, for
after few months. unable to resist
the call he gets back over the range.
His aim now is to try ranching in a
modest way. He is a fiend to work,
and is very much run down by close
confinement and long hours. He cer-
tainly enjoyed a thriving business.
The Crescent Cafe had about as large
a patronage as any restaurant to be
found in any of the smaller towns of
the northwest, but it was grilling
labor to the proprietor. Messrs Cobb
& Helm step into a well established
business. Mr.. Cobb has had years of

READY FOR VISITORS

The bath house at the Wanicut Lake
Sanitarium is finished and Gene Wehe,
who is in charge on the premises, is
now prepared to supply the proper
accommodations for those who may
wish to try the virtue of the lake water
for those ills for which the water Is
known to be a panacea. There is no
reason for residents of this locality
travelling long distances to secure re-
lief from suffering by the application
of medicinal waters when Wannicut
lake Is so near at hand and every
reason for those at long distance de-
string to seek relief through the in
fiuence of medicated waters to come
to this same Wannicut lake. Hereto
fore there have been no means for
caring for afflicted visitors at the
beautiful and curative sheet of water
Now that excuse cannot be pleaded
The sanitarium company has stepped
in and provided quarters for those who
wish to put the lake to a test as a
relief for rheumatism and kindred all
ments.

HURRY UP ON SOUTH BRANCH

There is no sign of procrastination

Oroville- Wenatchee branch, and indi-

The venture is a serious one and its
building and equipment should be a
matter of pride for the business men

hostelry is deserving of their support
and recommendation to their friends.
Hammond can no longer be sneered
at as the jumping off place. Travel

PRESS-MUZZLING LAW.

There were doubtless some good
features in the law amending the
corrupt practices act that induced the
legislature to pass it and Governor
Ralston TO sign it, but certainly the
Gearing amendment seeking to muzzle
newspapers was not one of them.
This provision seeks to prohibit
newspapers from a full and free dis
cussion of mans character or fitness
for office, or of the possible motives
back of his acts; and it especially
seeks to prohibit the use of cartoons
whereby mans peculiar characters
tics or foibles or the motives actual
ing him may be depicted.
A moment thought will show that
this law was not passed in the inter
ests of the people, nor for the promo.
tion of honesty and uprightness
among candidates for public office
Ii places newspapers at the mercy oil
gangs of crooks and will prevent in
many instance from giving the PEG,

THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS.

Thousands of little Berlin girls and
boys feel very sorry for themselves,
and heartily wish that 1913 had
never appeared on the scene
The reason is that Herr Won Jagow,
the Berlin Chief of Police, has issued
an order prohibiting all children I'M
der fourteen from going to moving
picture shows.
The picture theatre is not alto
gether in favor with German official
dom Films are condemned as being
''unpatriotic" because they are for
|eign and increase the violent adj
miration of the average German for
things English and American
The reason that children are ex-
|cluded from picture theatres is that
they are alleged to be too exciting
and to have a bad influence.
How can children who have seen
pictures of Indians fighting and cow
boys riding recklessly go home to
their exercise books and do their
evening study work?' asked a Ger
man police official. I'VE want our
children to grow up into peaceful
citizens, and not into cowboys"

DECENTRALIZATION.

Some sharp declines have been
witness in stocks of companies that
overcapitalized their assets to the ex-
tent of placing too large value on
the good will of the business When
there is heavy demand for money
water-logged stocks are the first to
suffer. Bankers refuse to accept them
as securities in loan negotiations and
the owners are forced the unload.
Values then shoot down.
This is one of the penalties that
small holders have to pay when they
buy stocks of attractive appearances
but of insecure stability.
