So
BROKE JAIL

Mention was made last week of the
beating up of Custom officer Pallies,
of Nelson, by Chesaw Joe, a half
breed, and that the trial would take
place before Geo. ]. Gardiner, United
States Commissioner, Thursday after
noon. The trial had to be indefinitely
postponed because Chesaw Joe refused
to stay put in Jail. Chesaw was in
carceratel in the town calaboose for
safe keeping, but that recepticle for
offenders presents few difficulties to
egress if a prisoner has any means at
his command for breaking out. Some
friend passed a chisel through the
window to Joseph during Wednesday
night, and with that tool he readily
regained his liberty. Thursday morn
ing when Deputy Sheriff Carol went
to the Jail to feed his prisoner he
found the coop empty. AS the gov
ernment makes no provision for meet
ing the expense of chasing down es-
capes little effort was made to run
down the prisoner, and he has prob
ably put so much distance between
himself and Oroville that he could not
be found now even IT an effort were
made to catch him. Joe will have to
keep out of sight on the other side ol
the line for if he ever is picked VI
on United States territory he will gel
it good and hard, as the assault he
was guilty of was brutal in the ex.
treme and wholly unprovoked.

producers in the west. At that time
hearney was a clerk in the Great
eastern dry goods store, a dapper
downey checked young man and the
lest dresser in Spokane Falls. The
Old Dominion proved to be a marvel
during its brief existence as a pro-
queer. The ore was very rich and de-
POSTED in kidneys. Pat and his
brother would dig out a car load, or
have it dug out, haul the ore all the
way from Colville in wagons, and ship
from Spokane Falls to a smelter. At
every shipment they would clean up a
pot of money. The Kearneys may
not have rolled in wealth, but every
time they received a remittance from
shipment Of ore, they had more
ready cash than any individual in the
rails. Eventually the Old Dominion
was cleaned out, and has never work
ed profitably from that time to this.
rat was free spender in those days,
for that was the prevailing practice
among all men, or 80 per cent of them.
and when that source of income dried
up he turned his attention to other
pursuits. Like many another old
timer he drifted away from Spokane
and eventually located in the Okano-
gan country. Knowing Pat from the
days OF his first landing in Spokane
the writer trusts that he may find
another Old Dominion of greater per-
manency in the Chesaw district

PICNIC TUESDAY

There will be the midsummer picnic
for everybody given by the Sunday
school of the local Methodist church
next Tuesday, July 2Sth at the old
Okanogan Smith place on the east side
Of the lake, about one and half miles
north of town. 1t has been some time
since there has been an old fashioned
picnic in these parts so doubtless
there will be big crowd. 1t is par
ticularly understood that everybody is
invited and expected to come and
bring all the family, and their lunch
baskets. Rigs will be provided for
those that do not feel equal to the
walk. There will be short program
as well us games for the youngsters.
Swings will be put up, and the beach
is fine for bathing. Everybody seems
to be favorable for good time Con-
yeyances will leave the church at 3
o'clock in the morning for the picnic
grounds. Everybody welcome. Those
having vehicles are requested to be
at the Nj. f. church in the morning to
aid in taking children to the grounds.

A VALUABLE ASSET.

The swimming pool has been very
popular resort during the protracted
hot spell. In the afternoon and even
ing men, women and children flock
to the river and spend hours in the
water. Our citizens hardly appreciate
what great asset this ideal SWIM
ming place is to tho town. In large
cities people take long rides in street
cars to leach natatorium, or places
TO bathe, and few small towns can
boast OF such blessing at all. Here
the swimming pool is within three or
four blocks of the business center.
There is long, wide stretch of placid
water, places deep enough for the ex-
perienced swimmer, and shadows for
those who cannot swim to wade and
paddle around in the cooling element.
There is sufficient current to keep
the water always perfectly fresh as
it flows out of the big lake. More
convenienCes should be provided for
the public. Larger and better ap-
pointed bath houses should be built,
and a sidewalk laid from the corner
at the Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches to the grove. The bath
houses are protected by a bunch of
large outrageous trees, that adds to
the attractiveness of the spot. AS a
drawing feature the swimming pool
is worth taking care of, besides it
is a contributor to health and clean
liness, and adequate provisions should
be made for the accommodation of
those who delight in the daily plunges.

ORE AT OUR BACK DOORS

c. w. Smith and a few friends have
purchased the bald, bold rocky peak
| that springs from the earth and is a
prominent land mark just back of the
water works reservoir. There are
forty acres in the tract, principally 2
rough stony cliff, to all appearances
worthless unless as a stone quarry
and there is certainly enough of stone
ir sight to build all the foundations
and stone buildings on the coast for
the next century. The tract was pur-
chased from VIM. Dorwin, of Concon-
ully, who purchased it from the gov
ernment by means of scrip a long time
ago. The property may turn out a
Monte Christie fortune. Mr.. Smith,
who is some geoogist and a very ex-
pert assayer, has made a very careful
inspection of the purchase, going over
the knob with a prospector's pick,
chipping off the stony surface in num-
erous places, in an examination OF the
|
he exposed a number of veins, leads
and lodges, and remarkable to relate
secured some of the richest specimens
Of copper ore that have been found in
a country where copper bearing ore
is common. Among the specimens was
native copper, and some samples ran
as high as go per cent in that mineral.
The finds were not confined to copper,
either. There were excellent indica-
tions of gold, silver and galena In
gophering around Mr.. Smith found a
spot where some one had discovered q
rich looking mineral vein, probably
years ago and then carefully covered
over the find, evidently with the in
tention of returning and locating the
claim. On the north part of the hill
there is evidence Il at some one, in
the distant past, had started a tunnel
or cropping quartz lead. Mr.. Smith
is not predicting that he has found
a great mine on his new possession,
yet it would be something to create
sensation if a great copper mine
should be opened up within the very
corporate limits of the town. Mr..
Smith is suspicious enough that there
may be something worth while con-
ceiled in the hill that he and his as
sociates are going to spend some mon
ey in a thorough investigation. .--

BACK TO HIS EARLY LOVE

Pat Kearney, who held the mail con-
tract on the old star route down the
valley for a number or years, found his
occupation gone when the railroad in
vaded his preserves. Pat announces
that he will now turn his attention to
developing some claims that he has
long held in the Chesaw district, the
value of which he is confident Will
make him a millionaire. AT one time

Agriculture Department Asks Aid
of Bird Lovers In Taking Census

j., WASHINGTON. May 16.-A cen
SIS of all the birds of the United
States is suggested for this summer.
and the department Of agriculture in
vites bird lovers throughout the
country to cooperate in taking It.
The object is to determine how many
pairs Of birds OF each species breed
within definite areas. BY comparing
these figures with those Of subse-
quent it will be possible to
ascertain whether the present state
and federal laws are effective and
game and insectivOrous birds inCreas-
ing or diminishing in numbers. Vol
untary observers are relied upon to
furnish most of the desired data t.
the department.
As a beginning the department.
has asked about $50 correspondents
throughout the country. who have
previously rendered valuable service,
to follow a general outline in supply
ing information. Anyone wishing to
aid in this good work is cordially in
vited to send similar information to
The department.
! The correspondents have been adj
vised that the census of the birds
should be taken over some area that
fairly represents the average charar-
ter OF the country in the Immediate
neighborhood. The area selected
should represent average farm con-
ditions. but without Woodland
should be not less than forty acres
Ca quarter of a mile squared and not
more than eighty acres, and should
include the farm buildings. shade
trees. orchards, fields OF ploWcd land,
and pasture.
