but pulled himself up on the ladder,
stripping off his boots and clothing.

OPENING OF SCHOOL.

The Oroville public school opens for
the 1914-15 term next Monday with
as able corps of teachers in charge
as has ever trained young ideas of this
place. With such instructors as Prof.
F. B. Nance, Prof. w. Leonard Davis,
Miss Mabel c. Griffith, Miss Dodson,
Miss Hazel Goodwin, Miss Gertrude
Miller, Miss Alice HOrrigan and Miss
Murray looking after the mental de-
velopment and general welfare of the
youngsters the school year should be
one of the most successful in the his
tory of the institution. The trustees
proposed to stand behind the teachers
in their efforts to put the school in the
highest class, and will lend all the aid
in their power toward efficiency. A
special effort will be made to perfect
the high school course, and it is con-
fidently expected that the Oroville
high school will win the full four
years credits this term. The attend
ance promises to be as large in most
OF the departments as last year, al
though there will be a number of ia
miliar faces absent from the high
school class. 1t is hoped the school
spirit so prominently developed last
year will continue, as that spirit
awakens and keeps alive a keen in
terest in the school and the course
of study.

BONDS VOTED.

Saturday an election was held in
the territory embraced in what was
formerly known as the East mad West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation districts
to determine whether or not bonds of
said district in the amount of $4,000
should be issued. Originally and at
period that now seems to have been
In the remote past, two irrigation dis
tricts were formed, and land owners
In those districts had supported a
proposition to issue bonds for carry
Ing out the enterprise. Subsequently
difficulty was experienced floating the
bonds. The Great Northern railroad
came to the rescue and offered it's as
sistance in placing the bonds provid-
ing the two districts were merged in
to one and other certain concessions
were granted, among them the listing
o. lands at such reasonable prices as
to induce purchasers to invest. All
of these concessions were granted.
The East Okanogan Valley Irrigation
district was disincorporated and lands
in that district were incorporated into
the one district, known as the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation dis
trict. This necessitated the cleo
ton of Saturday to endorse a
bond issue in the amount stat
ed, which is necessary to com
plete the system. The result of that
election shows how deeply interested
land owners are in carrying out of
the project, and how willing they are
to meet the cost of construction, for
not single vote was cast against
the bond issue. The vote was unani-
nous in favor of the bonds.
The land owners have done their
part faithfully and cheerfully. The
fate Of the early construction of the
system now rests With the railroad
officials. 1t is up to them to carry
out their promise, and it is felt that
they will stand by that promise to
the letter. 1t is in the interest of the
railroad to have this rich and magnifi-
cent acreage intensely developed TO
its largest capacity, and only the ap-
plication of water will accomplish that
object. Land owners have made ev-
cry concession demanded OF them. The
railroad people pledged the tlotation
of the bonds if those conditions were
granted. They will make good and
the project is assured.

FOR CONGRESS-.

Hon. Harry Rosenhaupt, of Spokane,
spent several hours in Oroville Sun
day, stopping here on trip through
the county. He was travelling by aut,.
He came up through the Colville val
ley and across the high hills to the
Okanogan valley, and reports the
roads to be in frightful condition.
Mr.. Rosenhaupt is one of the ten re-
publican candidates for congress in
the Fifth district, and by the Spokane
press is placed among the leading can
didates in tn. matter of vote getters
i? tnat city and county. The vote this
year is going to be shot all to pieces,
and the wisest guesser is wholly at

county polls the big vote of the dis
trict, and the candidate who can

best of it, but it finally rests on the
second choice ballots to decide the
question as to who's who. Mr.. Rosen-
haupt gets into the race with the pres

experience is strong qualification for
the office he is running for, as his
legislative record is a most creditable
one. In the legislature in which he

EXPLAINS HIS ABSENCE.

John A. Gellatly, of Wenatchee, one
of the flock of republican candidates
seeking the nomination for congress
from the Fifth district, desires to state
through the columns of the Gazette
that owing to circumstances connect
ec with his campaign requiring his
presence elsewhere, he must deny
himself the pleasure of visiting Okan-
ogan county before the primary elec-
ton. Mr.. Gellatly regrets this inabil-
ity to get out among the voters of this
part of tie district, get feels that he.
has been resident of Wenatchee for
Sc long time, and has so wide an ac-
quaintance in OkanOgan county, that
il is really hardly necessary for him
to visit this section while his presence
is required elsewhere in the district.
He solicits the aid and support of his
friends and members of his party in
this county, and if nominated and
elected will work earnestly for the
best interests of his Okanogan con-
stituents.

DEATH OF GEO. N. STEWART.

Last Saturday morning George N.
Stewart, who has been lingering for
weeks in the last stages of that in
sidious disease, consumption, passed
away. His devoted wife and SORROW
ing brother and sister were at his bed
side when death came to relieve him
from his suffering. The funeral took
place Sunday after ,S4l from the M.
t. church, Rev. A. H. Morton officiating,
and choir rendering appropriate
music. AS indicating the warm place
the deceased held in the hearts of the
residents of the community the church
was crowded with friends, who had
come in sorrow to pay their last re-
spects to the departed. The floral Of
ferings were profuse, the casket being
banked with wreaths, crosses and bo-
quets. Interment was at Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Geo. n. Stewart was born December
2S, S,1S75,and hence his age was 3S years
eight months and one day at the time
Of his death. He was married to Miss
Lucy Clark, March 29, 1898. Two chill
dren were born to the union, both dy-
ing in early infancy. The deceased
was the eldest of family of twelve
children, and all have preceded him to
the grave, as well as the father and
mother, except one brother and one
sister. The deceased held a position
in the government Immigration SER
vice, and has been stationed at this
place two or three years. He was a
devoted and loving husband and an af-
fe fectionate brother, and his death,
though long expected, was a great
shock to the surviving members of the
family. Personally he was a very gen.
ial and companions ble gentleman, a
true friend and valuable citizen, and
during his residence in Oroville he
made warm friendships among all with
whom he came in contact.

4 CHESAW PIONEER.

Judge ]. l.. Cresson stopped over in
Oroville last Thursday night on the
way to his home at Chesaw. He was
returning from Seattle after an alb
sence of month, where he had gone
to have his eyes treated by special
ist. Although the sight has improved
the eyes are yet far from being we'll
and strong. The Judge is one of the
pioneer and best known residents Of
Chesaw. He is very much devoted to
his home, rarely travels beyond the
limits of the town in which he lives,
and hence his visits to Oroville are
very few and far between. Through
correspondence and mutual friends we
have felt as though we knew Judge
Cresson for years, but the pleasure
OF personal meeting, and it was a
genuine pleasure, never occurred until
last Thursday evening. We found him
the bluff, genial, intelligent gentleman
he has always been represented to be,
and after Ioaking his personal ac-
quaintance tinst we may be able to
meet him frequently III ,he future, hat
is in the near future, as neither Of
lis have very much of future before

Saturday afternoon a pine squirrel
that had strayed away from his ma
tive haunts found himself at large on
the main street of this busy town. The
bewildered animal ran up an electric
light pole in front of the postofiice, to
take survey of his surroundings, and
there he was discovered. A gang of
boys started in to capture the little
fellow. John Mitchell, who does the
line work for the power company, went
up the pole on his climbers, and then
ensued an exciting chase that attract
ed large crowd, and was the source
OF a vast amount of amusement.
Mitchell would herd the nimble little
rodent down the pole almost within
reach of the hands extended by the
excited boys. Then the little cuss
would turn tail and shoot to the top
like flash. The persistent Mitchell
followed to the top of the pole time
and again. At last the squirrel made
desperate by the close pursuit, leaped
down among the waiting boys and
dogs, taking long chances with his tor
mentors, and managed to scurry to
cover. To the satisfaction of the on
lockers the squirrel escaped.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

A. Roy Towson, young man who
cuts meat at the Crescent Cafe and
otherwise makes himself generally
useful, was very painfully scalded Sat-
urday afternoon. He was carrying
large can of boiling water to the rear
of the restaurant with which to scald
chickens, when the bale Of the vessel
slipped loose on one side and guam
tity of the hot water drenched the
young mans left leg below the knee.
The victims shrieks of agony collect
ed crowd and everything possible was
done for his relief. The pain of the
burn was SO great that Towson be-
came unconscious and remained in
that condition for some time. He was
taken to DR.. Efner's hospital, where
his limb was dressed, and at last re-
ports he was resting as easy as could
be expected considering the nature OF
his injury. 1t will be some time be-
fore Towson is able to be out and
around.

election next Tuesday it is necessary
that your name be on the registration
Locks. Every man and woman of le-
gal age in the precinct, entitled to vote,
should be registered. Those living in

Gated, and it is no hardship nor exer-
tion to step over and do your duty.
1t is rather strange, considering the
constant cry "let the people rule" that
the people themselves show such abso-
lutte indifference as to whether they
take any hand in ruling. This indiffer-
|ence would indicate that the loud mouth
pleaders for the dear people" do not
know what they are talking about. If
people were really anxious to assume
the work formerly performed by con-
ventions they would take keen inter-
est in selecting candidates at the pri-
maries, and it would not be necessary
for papers to constantly urge them t.
register so as to be in a position to
express a preference in making a Sc
lection.

TURN OUT TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday a primary election Will
be held for the purpose OF selecting
candidates to be voted on at the gen.

candidates that has superseded the ola

far there has been no appreciable I'M

power during the session, and his
present strength among his constitu-
ents at home rests in the fact that his
record was SO clean at Olympia. Con-
sidering the number of candidates for
congress on the republican ticket it is
impossible to conjecture as to which
one of the bunch will secure the NOM
ination, but if Harry Rosenhaupt is
the lucky man, and he is elected in
November, the Fifth district will have

pie will never have cause to be as

through this part of the county in
the interest of Okanogan in the county

reason to feel satisfied by the express

one never can tell how a man is going

G: them have not the honesty to stick
to their word, and will promise one

1t is so much easier for the average
man to say he favors a candidate or
cause in conversation with a candi-
date or hacker of some cause, when
at heart he knows that in the test he
is going to oppose that candidate or

voters and renewing old acquaint-
ances. Mr.. Allison's announcement as
it appeared in this paper last week

student, scholar, and an instructor

"Civics for Washington" which are
recognized as authorities among edu-
Gators and are extensively used in the

w. ]. Frank, who is just back from
the coast. brought with him a couple
of interesting souvenirs of his trip in
the shape of animal curios. One is
a red squirrel, who attracts much at
tention in his treadmill cage. The
most interesting pick up is a young
monkey. This little fellow, that fol-
lowers of the Darwinian theory insist
has claims as the origin of man, has
a history. While Mr.. Frank was on
the coast, the Admiral Sampson, a
large ocean vessel, was rammed and
sunk in the Sound, and a numbper of
lives lost. This monk was the mascot
on the Admiral Sampson-or was he
the hoodo?-and was saved from the
wreck. Mr.. Frank purchased the ami
NAL from the purser of the Sampson.
Mr.. Frank now has the nucleus OF
a menagerie, and will probably add
other attractions from time to time.
