The Omak football team is billed to
kick the pig skin around on the local
grounds as opponents of the Oroville

ought to attract a large crowd, for
the game will be worth seeing.
Maj. A. M. Anderson, right-of-way
man for the Great Northern, was in
town on railroad business Tuesday,
and it was noticeable that the major

ture. The trend of the late election

joicing.
1t is generally conceded that the
new dry law will not go into effect
until January 1, 1916, which will give
those in the business chance to re-
adjust themselves to the new condi-
lions. Even at that many in the IL
quor business will be heavy losers in
the end.

was registered in town Monday. 1t
was pleasant surprise to see the
name of the old Iowa town on the reg

and it is not often that a Keokuk cit
izen strays so far away from home.

the initiative measures.
The rummage sale given by the
ladies of Trinity Guild last week
proved to be quite financial success

a great deal of it was as good as new.

week witness in a criminal case.
He happened to be in Conconully the
day the two prisoners broke Jail and

joying his enforced stay at the county
seat little bit.

road that he has been on the job for
a long time, with every prospect of
holding it much longer.
Our local football team will have to
buck up and carry the stamina of the
first half of game on through the
last half If they are to win at any time
this season. Twice they have started
on the second half we'll in the lead

endeavor and grim deter
mination is required to make win
ming football team.

been friend of the Champneys fam
lily since his childhood days, and came
over from England direct to Okano-
