chairman to first ask: "Is Ted Ma
loney PRESENT." and with the never
failing AYE" for answer he would
say: Then We will proceed with the
business of the convention" He was

glad to be back into the Okanogan.
When asked about the oil excitement
in Calgary, it was his to laugh. He

the only indications of oil that came
under his observation was the gamb-
ling in oil stocks, where the chances

buyer than going against the crooked

OUT OF A JOB

Walter S. Stains, who has had
charge of the keyboard at the local
telegraph office, at the depot, for sew
eral months, was let out of his job
Friday last. His discharge is no re-
Election upon the integrity or efficiency
of the young man as an operator and
employe. 1t is stated that the rail-
road is retrenching wherever re-
trenchment is possible, and men are
being let out wherever their services
can be dispensed with. Like all cor
porations positions on the railroad go
by seniority of service, and when there
is a curtailment Of the pay roll those
who have served the shortest time are
down and out. There have been some
very likeable boys hooked to the keys
at the local office since a telegraph
station was first established in this
place, yet among them all there has
rot been more accommodating, more
active nor more uniformity courteous
gentleman on the job than Mr.. Stains,
and those who have business with the
office regret to see him go. His
friends here trust he will remain in
Oroville, and that his retirement from
active duty is but temporary.

WILL BE A DIVERSIFIED FAIR

The Fair Hesperides to be held in
Wenatchee, October 1851, will be
something much more than an apple
show. Aside from being one of the
best apple shows and fruit fairs ever
held in the northwest, it will be an
exhibit of the products of the farms
including stock, vegetables, grasses,
dairy products, and in fact, every in
dustry represented in north central
Washington will be on hand with an
exhibit.
Twelve big district displays and
fruit exhibits will represent the hor-
ticultural interests of the north CEN
trail Washington country. In the fruit
exhibit will be 25O,0O0 of the most
perfect apples in the world.
In the stock show will be 100 head
of fancy swine. Fifty head of dairy
cattle will be exhibited and there will
be some magnificent specimens of fat
cattle, while the poultry department
will contain 1000 birds.
The pure food exhibit will be made
ur Of displays from all of the leading
lines of manufactured goods and stand
ard food products.
Every day the visitors to the fair
will have an opportunity of hearing
Chaiffarelli's mammoth Italian band.
This musical organization will fur
nish twelve concerts during fair
week.
One of the best vaudeville organiza-
tions in the country has been engaged
and will give sensational feats of
strength and agility every day.
Among the special contests being
outlined for the occasion will be tho
north central Washington spelling
bee, box mailing contest, apple gues-
sing contest, apple dumpling contest,
boys and girls contest and others.
Some big events in parades, includ-
ing one gorgeous night parade. The
fair this year will eclipse anything
ever before attempted.

A WISE APPOINTMENT

The school board has recommended
Geo. l. Cole for appointment to the
board of school trustees to fill the va
cancy made by the resignation of
Dooley p. Wheeler, and no doubt the
school superintendent will endorse
the candidate. A more fortunate sell
ection for the position could not have
been made. Mr.. Cole has children in
the school, and is deeply interested
il seeing the institution kept up to
the highest standard of efficiency
Not only is he personally interested
III the we'll being of the school, but
Mr.. Cole is we'll fitted for the office,
as he is a man of advanced ideas,
vigor, push and intelligence. His
progressiveness and managerial abil-
ity is demonstrated in the success he
has made of farming, his large place
on Osoyoos lake being one of the
model ranches of the valley. Messrs.
Parsons and Collier, the other two
members of the board, are to be con-
graduated upon the wisdom of their
choice of an associate in naming Mr..
Cole for the place.

Minutes of the meeting of the town
council of Oroville, Washington, Sep
tember %, 1914.
Present-Mayor Grubb, Councilmen
Murray, Beale, Smith and Pourtales.
Minutes of the previous meeting
read and approved as read.
Certain property owners appeared
before the council asking that the wa
ter main be extended north on Spo-
kane street from point 100 feet north
of the north line of Central avenue to
the intersection of Spokane street and
Third avenue. On motion the request

this extension.
]. P. Friis appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked that some action be TAX

Motion was then made and carried
that street lights be installed at the
following described points: One at
the intersection of the east side of
Main street and the railroad right-of-
way, one on the corner of Central av-
enue and Bridge street, one on the
corner of Second avenue and Bridge

road avenue.
AT this time the matter of hearing
objections to the proposed improve
ment district was taken up and as
there were no objections the matter
was passed.

RIVERSIDE FAIR
An Important Event That Should Draw
Large Crowds This Year

Little has been said regarding the
Okanogan county fair and few have
any idea to the dates of that important
annual exposition. This lack of pub
licity may have the effect of reducing
attendance, yet it is hoped that the
general public will take sufficient in
terest in the fair to accept an eleventh
hour appeal and turn out en- masse
and make the fair of 1914 one Of the
most successful in the history of the
Organization. Through inadvertancy.
and not through any Intentional slight,
this paper has not given the fair the
publicity it should have received. Now
this is the last week that mention can
be made of it, and we trust the resi-
dents of this place and vicinity will
bear in mind the dates and as many Of
them as can possibly spare the time
will be present while the fair is in
progress. The fair takes place at
Riverside next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, and will be conducted under
the auspices of Okanogan County Po-
mona Grange. Those in charge have
been working earnestly to make the
fair success in point of exhibits and
attractions, and there is every reason
to believe that in every particular the
fair this year will excel all other fairs
ever held on the grounds. Some of
the features that should attract big
crowds will be football game wrest-
ling match, horse racing and a social
dance every evening. Prizes to the
amount of $1100 will be awarded to
exhibitors. Among the judges will
be such capable men as Prof. G. F.
Munroe and Prof. c. B. Sprague, of
Pullman, and Prof. Frank Kramer, of
the Kansas State College. There will
be fine stock on exhibition, choice
agricultural and orchard products and
manufactured articles. Every de-
partment will be we'll worth seeing.
We would like to see Oroville we'll
represented among the exhibits and
also among the crowd present. Take
a day off, or three Of them, and 60 to
the fair next week.

DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIR

This office acknowledges the receipt
OF season tickets to the Douglas Coun-
ty Fair, which is to be held at Water
vile Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week. The annual
fairs in our neighboring county are
very important and interesting events,
and we regret that we will be unable
to be present on the occasion to en-
joy the exhibits from the fertile Big
Bend country and renew acquaint-
ances with old friends of other days.
If any residents of Okanogan county
can spare the time to go over to Wa
terville next week and take in the fair
they are assured of pleasant well
come and will see one of the best ex-
positions that take place in any coun-
ty in the state. If the weather is
favorable it is safe to say that there
will be larger crowd at Waterville
this year than on any previous oc-
casion.

pronounced them the equal in
strength, and far ahead in color. of
all other samples received by them.
The building will require 10000 brick
only 10000 less than the Oroville high
school. While congratulating our
neighbors upon the prospects of such
a handsome school building as the
Nelson structure promises to be, we
cannot help feeling elated, and ex-
pressing that elation, over the fact
that the chief material in the building
is to be made in Oroville. The Mol
sen residents are assured that if the
building is equal to the brick that goes
into the wall no fault can be found
with it. We also congratulate Messrs.
Williams & Finnie upon securing the
contract, for this has been anything
but fat year in the brick business,
and the contract will tide them over
an otherwise dull season.

BOOKS CLOSE OCTOBER 12

In another column Town Clerk r.
Il. Hoose publishes an announcement
that the registration books for Oro-
Vile precinct will be closed after Mon
day, October IL, hence those who have
not already done so have only nine
days in which to register. This paper
urges every legal voter in the pre-
cinct to get his, or her, name upon the
register. 1t would hardly seem nee
essary to pound away on this subject,
for it would naturally be supposed
that every voter is anxious to take
a hand in electing candidates., or vot-
ing upon the various measures that
will appear on the ballot for adoption
or rejection, but there are people who
are Indifferent as to exercising the
most important right of citizenship,
and procrastinate as to registration
until it is too late. This paper is par
tisan, but it is not partisanship that
Influences the editor in insisting on
a full registration. To him it is no
difference whether the voter is re-
publican, democrat, socialist, or that
political hermaphirodite, a progress
sive-although the former might be
preferred. What is wanted is every
voter in the precinct on the list, and
as far as is within the bounds of pos
sibility every vote cast November g.
Again, remember that the books close
on the evening of October IL, and do
not put off for day after tomorr' W
what you should do today.

OPEN SEASON FOR DUCKS

1t is rather late in the season to
make the announcement, but ducks
cannot be killed under the law until
the 1st of October. That date is the
beginning of the open season under
the federal statutes, and the federal
law takes procedure over that of the
state, which names the 18th of Sep
tember as the beginning of the open
season. In exchanges we have noticed
that a number of fines have been
levied in this state against hunters
killing ducks before the 1st of October.
Deputy Game Warden Orth stated to
parties in Oroville that ducks could
be killed on and after September 18th,

The Methow Valley News is resur-
recting old Lovejoy cartoons that were
used in the strenuous Riverside-Con
conully county seat contest six years
as,o, which added to the gayety of one
of the hottest election fights of which
there is any record in the county. One
peculiar thing about that celebrated
and never-to-be-forgott battle of the
ballots, was the versatility Of Mr..
Lovejoy in switching his support from
one side to the other. At first his
caricatures of citizens of Oroville and
Conconully were anything but flatter-
ing, for he was supporting Riverside
with all his ability. Suddenly he
swung to the side of Conconully and
the way he depicted leading residents
of Riverside was shocking to behold
Riverside lost at that time, but the
outlook just now is that there will be
a different story on the Sd of No
vember.

MILK FEVER

III the past SIX months an estimate
from cases reported to this Office
shows that losses amounting to more
than $1,000 have been sustained by
farmers in Okanogan county as a re-
suit of milk fever. In many instances
owners of sick animals-recognized the
trouble at the commencement of the
attack, and treatment was given with
good results, but in all too many in
stances the animals were allowed to
die because the farmer was at a loss
as to the proper treatment.
Milk fever is a very peculiar disease
which attacks heavy mixers during
the first few days after calving. Few
cases are recorded of it's attacking
heifers with their first calf, or any
animal after the first two weeks after
parturition. 1t is thought to be
plethoric condition of the blood, the
result of fatness, lack of exercise, and
rich feeding. Fleshiness is an un-
natural condition of dairy animals and
it is dangerous to feed excessively up
to parturition. After parturition the
blood which had been supplying the
fetus is suddenly thrown on the cir
culation, often causing extreme
plethora.
In the initial stages of the disease,
the COW becomes restless, stamping
with the hind feet, switching the TALL
and nervously turning the head from
side to side; the knees and joints IN
the front legs become weak, and the
ewes are staring. Finally the cow lies
down in a semi -comatose and paraly-
tic condition in which she takes no
notice of any surroundings. Frequent
attempts are made to relieve the DOW
els. Finally the animal goes down
and is unable to rise. The nose while
down is characteristic of the disease
the animal lying on the right side WIN
the head and nose pointed towards
the udder. there being slight arch
in the neck. Ihe temperature aI ILL"
stage is far below normal.
Treatment-The seat of this trouble
seems to be the udder, and by inject
ing sterile air into it through the
teats most animals are relieved at
once Farm Bulletin No. 2O6 describes
and illustrates little instrument
which is used, and also gives explicit
6irections as to methods OF procedure
Many farmers have saved their cows
bv using a bicycle pump, ana ohe
farmer, by using an automobile pump
and a chicken feather, saved very
valuable COW. Such heroic Treatments
and crude instruments are not u oe
! recommended. as harmful results are
liable TO follow. The proper lnstru'
ments may be obtained at very 10"
COST from most any house dealing III
veterinarian supplies such as the
Parke Davis Co., OF Seattle.
| Control-By proper care hucA
-.nble may be avoided. Never de
nrive a COW of exercise by con1ihiht
nor to q stall a few days prior 10 per
trrition. Do not feed so heavily tha
ebe is excessively fat, and do not feet
large quantities of rich food durint
tho two or three days prior to and al
ter parturition. A safe and beneficia
nractice is to drench the COW TWO VI
three days before calving, with ON

loin dissolved in warm water.
Some cows are peculiarly suscep

will be open for travel next Tuesady.
The band will give dance in the
Orpheum theater next Friday evening.
The receipts will 60 to the benefit of

The town council is liberal with
street lights, such as they are, and at
the last meeting of that body provided
for the installation of several electric
sinners, where they were very much
needed, in response to petitions Of
citizens. When it comes to number of
lights Oroville is one of the best light
ed towns of it's size to be found any
where, although the quality of the
light cannot be boasted of.
Mrs. f. w. Mcdaniel returned to
her home at Nighthawk Monday, ac-
companied by her son, Fremont, who
had been discharged from the Oroville
hospital as cured. Young Mcdaniel
was operated on some weeks ago for
appendicitis, and had very narrow
escape with his life. He has recover
ed from the operation, but of course,
it will be some time before he regains
his normal strength, as is always the
case after an operation of this char
acter.
l.. d. Brown completed his work on
the town books Saturday and left Mon
day for Conconully. Mr.. Brown is not
permitted to give out the result of his
findings, for he reports directly to the
bureau of inspection, at Olympia, and
that body passes upon the reports be-
fore they are made public. He did
say, however, that he found the affairs
OF the town in very good condition,
which is a matter of satisfaction to
all interested in the welfare of the
place.
The announcement of w. E. Gamble,
democratic candidate for county clerk,
appears in another column. 1t is hard
| ly necessary to say word Of intro
duction on behalf of Billy Gamble. He
is one of the old residents of Okano-
gan county, and has run for Office so
| frequently, with never a defeat chalk
ed up against him, that he is not only
known personally to about every resi-
dent of the county, but is come to be
considered almost invincible. The
danger that confronts him this time
is that this is an off year for demo-
Gratis, and he will find it not quite SO
easy sailing as in the past.
c. H. Knosher, the republican nom
inee for assessor, announces his can
didacy in this issue. Mr.. Knosher is
/ a resident of Omak, and the standing
of the man in his home community is
demonstrated by the immense vote
he received at his home town. Prob
ably there is not a better qualified
man in the county for assessor than
Mr.. Knosher, and no man who stands
higher for integrity and purity of
character. He will receive enough
votes in Omak to swell prodigiously
the majority he will get in other parts
of the county.
