RICH GOLD ORE.

A. e. Williams, of Seattle, came in
from Loomis Tuesday and left for his
lome Wednesday morning. Mr.. Will
liams Is largely interested in the old
Pinnacle group of claims, short dis
tance north of Loomis, and has been
on the ground for the past six weeks
,uperintending work on the property.
Mr.. Williams is far from being an
enthusiast when it comes to mining,
and has continued assessment on the
Pinnacle almost under protest. Dur
ing the progress Of the work ne
has Just had in hand, however, the ap-
Dearance of the rock has so improved
that he feels sufficiently encouraged
as to be moved by touch of enthus-
iasm, and good reason he mas
for feeling encouraged. Anybody

There is not the space at this time
to repeat the always fascinating story
of the Pinnachle mine, but IN years
long past some of the richest goid ore
ever seen in this county was taken
from the tunnel far up toward tne
summit of Palmer mountain on tht
Pinnacle group. The present tunnel
was driven in at the base OF the lloun'

LAUNDRY SOLD.

Friday last a deal was closed
through the efforts of Dell Hart by
which the ownership of the Oroville
Steam Laundry passed from A. NORM
into the hands of r. l.. and l.. II. Prem
tiss. Mr.. NORM has been engaged in
the laundry business at Loomis and
in Oroville for number of years, and
his retirement means the removal of
familiar presence from the town
The local laundry is one of the best
paying industries in Oroville, and with
careful management and close atten-
ton to details can be made to pay
much better than it does The es-
tab]ishment has fallen into the hands
of active, steady and reliable men
and the patrons will receive prompt
and satisfactory service. The consid-
Grafton in the transfer was $3500
which is a pretty big figure but the
plant is well equipped and worth the
money

NEARLY A FAILURE.

From the standpoint of extent and
variety of exhibits the eighth annual
fair of the Okanogan Fair Association,
held at Riverside last week, cannot be
said to have been a sweeping success.
For some reason individual residents
of the county failed to enter exhibits,
and as a result the tent devoted to
general displays was meagrely pro-
vided with those articles that are
usually the attraction at county fairs.
Why there should have been such a
general lack of interest in the fair
is beyond understanding. 1t is an in
stitution that should appeal to the
public and receive the support and en-
couragement of every citizen. The
people of Riverside have been ex-
travagantly liberal in their efforts to
get he association on a firm footing,
and each year have cheerfully con-
tributed toward supplying adequate
premiums and purses. Even at times
they have gone down in their pockets
and made up deficits They have gone
to large expense securing grounds,
laying out an excellent half mile track
and making extensive improvements
!
veniently situated for The purpose to
which they are devoted. Hence there
can be no reason given for the apathy
displayed by the public in the matter
of entering exhibits. This failure to
lend assistance toward making the
fair a success from display point OF
view this year is deplorable. 1t should
not discourage the promoters and
hackers of the enterprise, however
as county fair is too important an
institution to abandon. Grievious dis
appointments must be expected in
starting any enterprise in young
country, and logged perseverance is
bound to win in the end. Keep up the
fair by all means. 1t is old enough
now to be classed as a fixture. This
year may have been the low water
mark of annual exhibits. From this
time henceforth the fair may grow I'M
til it becomes one of the most import
ant county fairs in the state.
However, the fair was not altogeth'
er failure. 1t Is true during the first
two days the attendance was light
corresponding with the exhibits, bu'
on the third day the crowd was o.
gratifying magnitude. The streets
were jammed with vehicles Of every
description, and the fair ground:
a very large crowd was collected II
the afternoon. 1t was a representa-
tive crowd, too, as there were people
present from all parts of the county
In the matter of horses there was
big string of animals, some of thor
very speedy, and hence the races were
very interesting and exciting. There
was an excellent program of spec
events and the prizes large enough tt

Blessing of Organ and Sta.
tions of Cross Last
Sunday.

The fine new organ for the Chapel
OF the Sacred Heart of Our Lady of
the Most Blessed Sacrament at st.
Anthony's Hospital, the generous do
nation of the noble benefactress,
Miss Lillian NJ. Pearson, of Philadel-
phia, was appropriately blessed and
dedicated to the service of God last
Sunday afternoon by the Right Rev.
Denis o'Donaghue, Bishop of Louis
vile, assisted by Rev. j. p. Cronin,
v. c., Rev. Patrick Monaghan and
Rev. Ignatius Wilkens, o. F. NJ. Rev.
Leonard Nurre, of st. Boniface
church, blessed the stations and re-
cited the Way of the Cross. The
Rev. Father Wilkens delivered the
sermon, taking for his subject the
organ and its meaning. Mrs. Anthony
Molengraft presided at the organ and
the choir of st. Boniface church, un-
der the direction of Prof. Molengraft,
rendered a fine musical programme
composed of numbers written by
Father Wilkens. The Rev. Charles
P. Raffo, of st. Charles Borromeo,
impaired the blessing. Among the
clergy in the sanctuary were Fathers
Schuhmann, Westermann, White,
Jansen, Bohlsen, Reverman, Acker-
man, Alexander, Berresheim, Cause
pohl, IBachmann, Fitzgerald, Roth
cut, Schmitt and Cletus Brady, c. p.
The chapel was crowded to its fullest
capacity, and after the "Te Deum"
the visiting clergy were given an
elaborate banquet by the Sisters.

PLEA FOR THE BOYS.

There is nothing in the world so
well worth looking after as the
boy, and there is no being in the
world so neglected as the boy. There
is scant room for him. We chaperon
our girls-and not too carefully
but We leave the boy to choose his
associates and his environments
with much advice and very little
guidance. Girls are naturally gentle
and companionable, most of them at
least, and they win their way to and
ere welcome In all homes, but we do
not know OF many homes where boys
are invited. About the only door
that swings with sure welcome for
him. about the only chair that is
placed near the fire for him, about
the only spot where he is sure of a
cordial greeting, is where you do not
desire him to go. II Is one OF the
hardest things In the world TO get
hold OF boy-to get sure grip on
him. You think you know some
thing about him. but perhaps that
something Is very little. and very
likely he knows more about you
than you do about him.-chrlstian

MACKIN COUNCIL
Makes Liberal Donation to
st. Lawrence Home
FOR Boys.

Mackin Councils meeting Monday
night was we'll attended and in the
enthusiasm that prevailed generous
donation was made to the st. Law
renee Institute for working boys.
President Adams occupied the chair
and announced that but four mem
bers were on the sick list, w. A.
Link being one of the number. Four
applications were received and four
candidates presented themselves for
obligation. Attorney Robert T.
Burke in a telling speech urged all
members who had proposed candi-
dates for membership in the Young
Mems Institute to see that they were
present at the joint initiation to be
held on Sunday, April 20. This will
be big event for Unity, Trinity and
Mackin Councils, and should bring
into the order many Catholic young
men. That morning the members OF
the three councils will attend a
special mass at 7:45 o'clock in the
Cathedral and receive holy COM
munion in a body. The initiation will
take place at Mackin Club House in
the afternoon, and at night grand
banquet will be served in the audi
torium of the Seelbach Hotel. Off
GERS of Mackin hope to have a class
OF fifty for this occasion. An invita-
ton was extended all to attend the
dance to be given in the club house
Thursday night.

OPEN MEET
With Smoker and a Gen.
eral Good Time For
ftibernIans.

Division 3. A. o. H.. held an inter-
esting meeting Monday night, though
the business was largely routine.
Hugh Hourigan presided and obli-
gated one new member. Messrs. Tim
Mccarthy, Michael Sheehan and
Mat Connolly, who are on the sick
list, were reported improving, and
John Morris has returned to his post
in the police department. Under the
head of good and welfare it was de-
cided to hold an open meeting and
smoker on Monday night, April 21,
to which all the divisions of the Falls
Cities will be invited, and it is GER
tain that a general good time will be
provided for all who accept the invi-
tation. The programme will be en-
tertaining and will include short
address by representative from
each division. This gathering should
arouse interest in the Ancient Order
and will likely be followed by others
similar in character.

LATEST IN STYLES.

A ribbed woodlike Ottoman silk is
a favorite for the spring one-piece
dresses.
Scarfs of lace incrusted tulle will
be worn with lingerie and crepon
dresses.
The Russian blouse and smoek
are traceable in a great many OF the
new costumes.
Vests in colored silks are richly
embroidered in Roumanian and
Oriental colorings.
Bright Bulgarian colorings are
very prominent in the decorations
OF the new parasols.
A band colored tagal hat decor
ated with large chiffon roses in dull
smoky blue is delightful.
For the debutante's evening
dresses mousseline and lace are
favored for yelling satin or flowered
silks.
The tricorne hat returns this
spring, more chic and jaunty than
ever Usually II has a vivid brim
facing.
Solid brass toilet sets are another
new wrinkle. These are absolutely
plain or combined with circassian
walnut.

COMMUNION OF CHILDREN.

The early communion of children
has brought the pastors into closer
contact with the little flowers OF
their flocks, the result being that
there is a tremendous revival OF
faith and piety among Catholics
wherever the Pope's commands are
carefully carried out. Frequent
communion of the little ones pro-
notes innocence and purity, and by
reflection spreads piety and devotion
among the older people. There Is
little doubt from present indications
that the twentieth century will be
known as the Century OF the
Blessed Sacrament."-Rev. F. J
