DEATH OF ED. KNIGHT

The following article from the Dan
vile QllD, Press-Democrat of July
is, announces the death of Ed. r.
Knight, former resident of this vicin-
ity we'll known to many of the resi-
dents of Oroville and the surrounding
country:
ED. Knight, practically a life long
resident of this village, died at hos
pital in ST Louis Thursday night about
10 o'clock from an aggravated attack
of cholera morbus and other complica-
tions. Word was received here several
days ago by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Knight that he was i'll, but they
did not realize that the condition of
their son was such that it might ter
inmate fatally. However, a message
was received this morning announcing
| his death and it therefore came as a
great shock to them and his many
| friends in this section of the county.
Mr.. Knight went to st. Louis about
| three months ago and was taking a
| course in a barber school in that city
Pri0r to going to st. Louis he had just
returned from Oroville, Wash, where
he lived for the past six years and
proved UP a good claim in that coun-
try of 100 acres. Before going tC
Washington Mr.. Knight had been in
poor health for a number of years
being afflicted with tuberculosis
| However, he recovered his health il
the west and when he returned here
was feeling much better. 1t is though
that after going to st. Louis his heakf
again failed and that the attack Of
cholera morbus together with othel
complications, was responsible for his
death. Mr. Knight was about "a years
of age and for number of years was
q school teacher in this part of tn,
country. He also taught school il
Washington When a youth, he wa
kicked by a horse on one of his limb
and this left him a cripple for life
Mr.. Knight was a highly respected
young man and his untimely death i
greatly regretted"

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE

When all is said the commissioner
ship is the most important office to
be filled in the county, and it should
be the aim of the taxpayers to select
competent men for those positions re-
gardless Of party affiliation OF course
men will be influenced by their politi-
cal preference. That is natural and
in the interest of good government as
it should be, but political parties
should be exceptionally careful in the
selection of candidates for the COM
missionership so that who ever may
be chosen the people will be well rep
resented in office. If a party makes a
mistake in the character of the candi-
date who may succeed in securing the
nomination, members of that party are
not in duty bound to support that
candidate at the election The COM
missionership is one place where
brains and capacity should count as
against political preference. 1t is a
thankless task to fill this particular
office at the best, az d difficult to get
the right kind of men to accept, and
when that kind of a man can be in
duced to stand for the place he should
receive the united support of the
people.

4 DELICATE SITUATION

The developments in the matter Of
the irrigation district during the past
week have been both encouraging and
discouraging, although the discourage
ing feature can be, and it is devoutly
to be hoped will be, eliminated in very
short order Word has been received
from Judge c. II. Neal and r. L. Pick
en-, who went to Washington to con-
fer with the Indian department in ref
erence to taking in the Indian allot-
ments on the east side of the Okano-
gan river under the ditch. They tele-
graphed that the department approves
OF the proposed irrigation system, and
will at once send out an engineer to
make an examination and report On
the other hand word was received
from L. 9. Leedy that the parties who
are to take the bond issue emphatical-
ly refuse to entertain the proposition
unless the surplus land is listed. This
is the cruX of the situation. If the
bonds are not placed there will be nc
irrigation. and if the surplus land is
not listed there will be no bond issue
1t is simply up to the land owners
under the system, and the fate of ir.
rigation is in their hands. 1t is un
derstood that only a few owners are
holding off. If this attitude is persist
