throughout the valley and has a fine
plant and turns out first class prod
uct. Mr. Greiger takes great deal of
interest in the big European war that
is now going on, in which his native
country is taking so important a part.
He has two nephews who are engaged
in the struggle with the German army
and, odd enough, his wife has two
nephews with the French forces.-
Okanogan Independent.
Patrick C. Shine, of Spokane, one of
the democratic candidates for congress
from the Fifth district, spent portion
OF Monday in Oroville, travelling
through the county in his own car
on an electioneering tour. He found
the roads to be eXecrable and as a re-
suit his car limped into town with a
broken spring. Little difficulties of this
kind had no effect on Pat Shines good
nature, and the gentleman was Just
as jovial as though he had rolled in
on palace car. Mr.. Shine was very
optimistic over his prospects for the
nomination, and expects to come in
leader under the wire at the primary
election.
The base ball season is practically
ever for the year. A game or two may
be worked up during September, but
as most OF the clubs in the county
have disbanded it will be hard to get
on any more games. Being out of
the valley league the Oroville club
was unable to get on many games
while the season lasted. The chief
opponent OF the home club was the
NNrIi ph Il
very much the best of the numerous
games played. Besides Penticton the
Oroville lads hooked up with Tomas
ket, Chesaw, and Wauconda at odd
times during the season. Take the
games altogether and the Oroville
team made very creditable record
on the diamond
j. A. Blackler, of this place, one OF
the republican candidates for the leg
islature from this county, made a trip
down the branch Monday in the in
terest of his candidacy. Mr.. Blackler
has met with much encouragement in
the eastern part of the county, AMI
is sure to make friends and supporters
wherever he visits. Personally, he is
worthy the support of every voter in
the county. There is still another rea-
son why the voters should stanl by
Mr.. Blackler at the primaries, and sub
sequently at the general election if
he secures the nomination. Oroville |
has never had a representative i'll the |
legislature, and on account of its size
and Importance is entitled to that Of
ice this year.
The directors of the Wenatchee VAL |
ley Water Users Association have en-
gagged Judge c. II. Neal, OF this city. |
as assistant counsel for legal advice |
IN the affairs of the organization. This |
IS a great compliment to Judge Neal |
and a wise decision on the part of the |
directors. Judge Neal has made a spe-
rlal study of laws relative to irriga-
ion, has had much experience in
handling the legal business of the |
)kanogan valley irrigation project, and |
nus is in position to give valuable |
~dvice upon that subject. In securing
nudge Neal as advisory counsel the
Nenatchee water users have not only
employed capable lawyer, but a gem
leman who stands high III the pro-
-cssion among his fellow citizens for
sterling honor and probity.
b. F. Banker, of the Methow valley,
candidate for the legisla-
ure, spent Friday last in town, cir
among the unterrified and not
overlooking his political enemies. The
writer has known Mr.. Banker so long
hat it would be embarrassing to men
Ion the number of years for fear of
)elng listed in the mummy class. AMI
always found him an upright, honor
lble gentleman. He formerly lived in
Douglas county, but located in the Me-
now valley number of years ago,
where he is in the stock business. He
s one of the heaviest taxpayers in
he county, and while we are opposed
o him politically it can be honestly
said that if Okanogan county must be
represented by a democrat the honor
lould not fall to better man in that
}arty than e. f. Banker.
Eb. Tyler, the elongated pioneer of
brewster, was in Oroville Friday last.
