be annually observed and the President

The joint resolution providing for the
observation of Mothers Day as a national

afternoon by Senator Sheppard OF Texas

House.
Several years ago Senator Burkett OF
Kansas tried TO get favorable action on
Il resolution to recognize Mothers Day as
a national holiday and was lauehed out
ridiculing the suggestion and ironically
suggesting that Fathers Day" and
"Mothers-in-law Day" were equally in
order
Had Mr. Burkett been in the Senate
to-day he would have had the pleasure
of seeing his resolution In substance pass
without opposition or any OF the wither-
ing comment that met IL when he pro-
posed IT. The resolution as passed IL as
follows
"Rcsoircd That the President OF
the United states Is hereby author
ized and requested to issue a procla

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE

In response to a call issued by the
Omak Commercial Club meeting was
held in that place on Tuesday Of last
week for the purpose OF organizing
a Taxpayers League. The meeting
was attended by delegates from the
neighboring towns and country. and
steps taken to perfect an organization.
DR.. G. p. House and Frank Bartell
were present from Oroville. The fol-
lowing officers were selected: Presi-
dent, w. G. Brown; vice presidents,
F. H. Furley, j. Henry Smith, DR.. c..
P. House, G. e. Blackwell, and s. c..
Merriman; secretary, f. A. DeVOs;
treasurer, p. d. Smith; trustees Chas.
Brown, j. o. Woods and Granville
Brown. The next meeting of the
league will be held at Tonasket on
June 16, when large attendance is
expected. The object of the League
which cOmmends itself to every resi-
dent of the county, is set forth in the
following resolution:
THAT we organize here today as
far as possible the nucleus of an as
sociation of the taxpayers of Okano-
gan county, Washington; that the
said association be formed and its
work carried forward on a strictly
non-partisan basis and so as to in
clude all portions of the county; that
the objects of said association be to
acquire and give out exact and re-
liable information as to the financial
condition of the county and as to how
and for what purposes taxes are col
lected and spent; that the work of
said association be carried on in a
spirit of helpfulness of the county Of
ficers and not merely in an attitude
Of criticism and objection; in other
words, that this association put forth
its best efforts to advise with the COM
missioners and all other officers of the
county in shaping policies and en-
deavoring to forsee results, and thus
share in the responsibility of the
county government and as sequence
have a share in whatever credit or
blame attaches to the effects of such
policies and the expenditures involved
therein; that the association seek to
attain the lowest possible rate of tax
alton that lis consistent with the ad-
vancement of the county, and above
all to be just and fair with all officers
and let criticism or commendation fall
where it belongs, likewise let all parts
of the county be fairly treated both
as to the collection and expenditure
Of revenues"

HOME MADE MOTOR CAR

AS to what can De done over at the
Washington Motor Car companys ga
rage and machine shop the grasshop-
per runabout that Charlie Peterson
and F. tinsen. A1s able helper, have
been recently shooting about the
streets Is conspicuous evidence. The
car is not much larger than a well
developed baby wagon. 1t was assem-
bled together from parts taken from
numerous machines relegated to the
scrap heap, and has the virtue of be-
ing able to go. 1t is necessary for the
driver to curl his legs up into bow
knot in order to get into the seat, and
the seat will accommodate two, if
there is not too much OF the two. As
to motive energy, it skins over the
road with the speed of an express
train. 1t is not long on beauty, but is
all there for utility, and is superior to
plaything in being useful. If the
boys keep up their lick they will be
building standard cars at the local
garage in another season.

TOOK A HEADER

Daniel Leavens had narrow escape
from very serious, if not fatal, ac-
cident last Friday morning. The trap
door in the floor of Vic Hagerman's
saloon was open when Mr.. Leavens at
tempted to walk around the opening
back of the bar. From some cause
the old gentleman lost his balance and
pitched headlong down the stairs into
the basement. Those who witnessed
the accident expected to find Mr.. Lea
vens dead but he escaped with only
severe shaking up and some minor
bruises. Aside from the pain that i'm
mediately followed the humping Mr..
Leavens was confined to his room only
two or three days. A younger man
would have been killed outright, or
had half the bones in his body brok-
en-. Mr.. Leavens is far advanced in
years, yet is one of the most active
men of his years, both mentally and
physically, to be found in the country.
He is around again as clipper as
though falling down flight of stairs
upon concrete floor was merely
common pastime. The old boy is n
popular favorite about town and every
body extends congratulations over his
escape.

FLOODED ROADS

DR.. Elmer. was summoned to the
lvanhoe mine Monday, but after reach
ing Palmer lake he found the water
Sc high over the road that he could
not get to the mine with his car. This
was exceedingly annoying, for the
place where the road is inundated is
only two or three miles from the mine
Fortunately there was nothing serious
nor alarming in the way of sickness
to require his immediate presence at
the Ivanhoe, so that his getting there
was not imperative. The doctor made
the 50 mile run for nothing, as it is
necessary to go around by the way of
Loomis to get anywhere on Palmer
lake, long trip that could be obvited
with road up the Similkameen river
The country road around the lake
where the water now shuts off travel,
travel by auto at least, is impossible
every year. The people have patiently
put up with the inconvenience for
some 25 years or more. 1t Is about
time that the road was lifted high
enough to be passable at all seasons
of the year, for it is a highway over
which there is considerable travel at
all times.

OLD POSTOFFICE CLOSED

The postoffice at Wanicut is to be
discontinued in June. This action on
the part of the department is owing
to two causes, the difficulty of secur-
iag any one to act as postmaster, and
the failure to secure bids for carrying
the mails. The income from the Of
flee is only few dollars a year, and
it does not pay any one to care for the
mail and go to the trouble making out
the required reports for the meagre
compensation. Under the parcel post
system man does not know how to
bid to make himself whole for carry
ing the mails. Even at the present so
pound limit for postal packages star
route contractor is liable any time to
have an amount of mail dumped upon
him that would require a four-horse
team to haul, and the department may
without notice increase the weight
limit to 100 pounds, or even to ton.
The going of the Wanicut postoffice
will work a hardship upon quite a
number of people in that vicinity who
have been served through the present
Office and the Wehesville postoffice for
many years. Some arrangement for
rural delivery may be devised to ac-
commodate the residents of that neigh
borhood.

PIONEER HARDWARE MAN

Among the Wenatchee visitors in
town Thursday last was Chas. A. Car
penter, a member OF the Wenatchee
Hardware company. Aside from the
glasses decorating his frontispiece Mr..
Carpenter looks hardly day older
than he did nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury ago when he was handling hard
ware in Waterville. For Mr.. Carpen-
ter is a pioneer of the Big Bend. He
accumulated quite a respectable bunch
Of money at Waterville, and growing
ambitious moved to San Francisco,
where he was engaged in business at
the time of the disasterous earthquake.
That convulsion of nature shook him
loose from about all he had, and he
returned north, locating at Wenatchee.
where he is building up a prosperous
business.

The visit of the Wenatchee business
men and boosters was mutually bene-
ficial. 1t was like fresh breeze to
have such live wires blow into town,
mingle with our people, and give them
inspiration through the medium of an
object lesson to get together, stick to-
gether and pull together. 1t is through
unity that Wenatchee has become the
important and prosperous city it is to-
day, and if an exhibition of that unity
will aid to unity this community the
visit was an infinite blessing On the
other hand Wenatchee profits by this
excursion. Few of the business men
o. that city had any idea of the extent
oi Okanogan county and the possibilit-
les OF the Okanogan and Methow val
leys. They had read about them and
had hazy impression that such coun-
ty and country existed, but beyond it's
mere existence they knew little or
nothing. They have had their eyes
opened. They realize now that this is
a big rich and well populated ter
ritory, capable OF supporting a very
large population. They know that it
il already very productive portion
OF eastern Washington, and that it's
present output is a mere bagatelle to
what that output will be a few years
hence. The greater portion of the
travel in the future will trend to and
through Wenatchee, and the Okanogan
country is bound to become source
Of valuable trade and traffic for that
city. These visits will make and ce-
ment friendships and out of them will
grow business as we'll as social re-
lations. Oroville was pleased to well
come their Wenatchee neighbors, and
upon the completion of the branch no
doubt large excursion party will be
organized here to return the visit
Altogether the coming of the people
from the one spot where the orchard
industry has reached perfection was a
very happy event, and one that every
body trusts will be repeated at some
future time

DOUBLE DOSE OF BASEBALL

Oroville sent two ball teams into
the field Sunday, one Of them going
up the hill to Nelson, and the other
down the valley to Tonasket. The
crowd that invaded Nelson met with
disaster, the boys on the hill top be-
ing too much for them, very much too
much for them, as the one sided score
of IA to 2 in favor of Nelson goes to
show. The nine that invaded Tomas
ket met with better luck, winning by
a score of 16 to s. This was a mighty
poor game from a scientific point Of
view, but it gave both sides plenty of
exercise, and was probably about as
highly enjoyed as though the score
had been much lower. AS the clubs
have more practice the games no
doubt will be closer and more excit-
ing.

DEATH OF POPULAR YOUNG MAN

Dick Volght died quite suddenly at
Penticton Friday last from an acute
attack of appendicitis. The young
man was about 25 years of age, and a
universal favorite wherever known
along and on both sides of the border.
He has been operating an auto stage
line between Penticton and Merritt.
He was powerful young man, of ex-
cellent habits, and his sudden death
was great shock to the community
in which he lived. When taken i'll
three physicians were called. They
decided that an operation was i'm
mediately necessary, but the young
man refused to submit to the ordeal.
After the physicians had left, AMI he
was getting no relief, Mr.. Volght de-
cided that he would go under the
knife. Much time was lost in again
securing the doctors. The operation
was at last performed, but too late
and the young man expired within II
hours. He was the idol of his parents
who are prostrated with grief over the
loss. The deceased had many ac-
quaintances in this place who will read
with feelings of sincere regret of his
untimely demise.

PAINFUL INJURY

Geo. c. Lyman, one of the bridge
carpenters working on the railroad
bridge across the Okanogan river, met
with a painful injury last Friday morn
ing that will lay him up for two or
three weeks. While using an adze
Mr.. Lyman mistook his foot for piece
of bridge timber and sunk the sharp
tool into the instep of his right foot,
making very ugly wound A large
artery was severed, and the unlucky
artizan came near bleeding to death
before medical aid could be summoned.
DR.. Elmer, who looks after employees
Of the railroad who need medical at
tention, rushed the wounded man to
his hospital, where the injury was
dressed and the patient is resting
easily. Mr.. Lyman is the first patient
to be treated at the new hospital.
