Hart & Co had orders for a large
number of turkeys from British Co.
lumbia customers during the past
week, but the Canadian quarantine on
birds, beasts and fishes from this side
Of the line is so strict that even dress
ed turkeys are barred out. This gov
eminent should frame up some method
Of retaliation against our Canadian
neighbors.

This paper has been requested to
state that the meeting at which DR..
Beale was named as candidate for
mayor was not held in the Farmers
the item published last week. The
meeting was held in some room in the
Stofferan building, but it was not a
secret convlave, as might be inferred,
as several persons were present and
took part in the proceedings.
A reception was rendered the Omak
football squad in the gym of the high
school building last Friday evening,
which was largely attended. The
evening was devoted to games and
pleasant social intercourse. The young
ladies of the school served delicious
collation.. The affair was greatly en-
joyed by all present, and proved to be
a very happy sequal to the holly con-
tested football game of the afternoon.
These social gatherings tend to cement
friendships and keep alive
a school spirit that is beneficial to all
Daniel A. Beal died suddenly of
heart failure at his home in We
natchee Saturday. Mr.. Beal opened
the first store of any size in the old
hamlet of Orc, the original of the
present fiourishing town of Oroville,
and the store was located below where
the bridge now crosses the Similka-
meen riven. In April, 1896, Mr.. Beal
sold out to Geo. H. Ellis and Jas. E.
Forde, then of LOOMS, and it was the
second of the chain of stores these
gentlemen subsequently owned in this
county. Mr.. Beal eventually located
and in 1902 Messrs. Ellis and Forde
took this establishment off his hands.
BY judicious investments Mr.. Beal Sc
cured much valuable real estate in
and about Wenatchee, and was in COM
Portable circumstances at the time Of
his death.

on his winning team against the To-
calls He is royal sport, as sport is
applied to school athletics, and so fair
and just that while urging on his own
boys to their best endeavor, and glory
ing in their success, he always gave
opponents square deal and COM
mended where commentator was de-
served. 1t is that spirit of good will
and fairness that has won for Mr..
Funkhouser the respect and friendship
of the boys Of all the schools in the
north part Of the county, and both the
Omak and Oroville players gave him a
cordial greeting, glad to SEQ him

Tuesday Jas. jackson, the pioneer
cattle buyer of this part of the coun-
ty. left for Seattle with two car loads
of beef cattle. 1t was his intention to
ship out over the hill to Spokane, but
the Canadian government has placed
such a strict quarantine upon all
classes of live stock, milk and poultry
from this side of the line that he was
barred from the old Spokane route.
The shipment was purchased from
VIM. Barry, G. M. Van Alta, Dan Riley
and Joe Mcmillan. 1t was the first
sale of cattle Mr.. Barry has ever made,
although farming on Palmer mountain
for number of years, and he was as
proud over the event as young man
with his first sweetheart. In his ella

termination, and for which there are
few presidents, as he said he was go
ing to turn over the receipts of this
first sale to his better half.
