FOOTBALL THANKSGIVING

This place is to have football and
repeat during the next few days. This
Friday afternoon Oroville high and
Omak high will meet on the local
grounds, and next Thursday, Thanks
giving day, Okanogan is billed to take
the boards against the locals. Both
games promise to be stemwinders, as
the home boys have defeats to re-
trieve, and the visitors will be bent
upon holding supremacy already gain
ed. All the teams will be out in full
strength, and there will not be dull
moment from the beginning to the end
Of the sessions. OkanOgan has defeat
ed every team it has faced this sea-
son. 1t is made up OF lusty and
husky lot of lads, who have had the
benefit Of an experienced and capable
trainer, besides being buoyed up by a
string of unbroken successes. Okano-
gan will no doubt capture the cham
pionship this year, and can hardly be
headed off if the team keeps up its
record. Oroville is going to try and
break through that string of victories
Thursday, which will mean gruelling
hard work, win or lose. A big crowd
should be out Thursday and root for
the boys, while enjoying an exciting
contest.

A HEAP OF SALTS

L. McCammon informs us that he
has received an order for 1000 tons of
EPSON salts per month to be deliver
ed on board cars for an indefinite per-
this searching medicamelt, ard con
sidering the quantity of the light stuff
necessary to make a ton it would seem
sufficient to supply the whole people
OF the earth. Now that the European
supply of EPSON salts is cut off deal
ers are looking about for a home
source of supply. The wonderful salts
lake near Oroville is probably one of
the largest natural deposits in the
world Mr.. McCammon has carefully
estimated the quantity contained in
the lake, and the figures he hands out
are so startling in their magnitude
as to make the head dizzy. What
makes the local deposit the more WON
derful is that it is said to be SO per
cent pure salts. Unfortunately this
is the wrong season Of the year for ex-
tracing the finished product in guam
titles, as the lake is covered with wa
ter. In the summer time the basin in
which the lake is situated up in the
hills to the west of town, looks like
a field of snow, and any quantity can
be obtained by simply shoveling it up
and sacking, or handling in bulk.
Much can be secured even now, but
the tons available would be among the
hundreds and not thousands, as would
be the case in dry weather. Consider
ing the quantity of the salts, as it is
practically inexhaustible, as il seems

A GOOD MAN GONE

Last week Judge NJ M. Goldman died
in Seattle after lingering illness.
Judge Goldman was one OF the pioneers
of eastern Washington, man Of more
life time was honored with many posi-
tions Of responsibility and trust, cleo
tive and appointive. Personally he
was charming and affable gentle
man. His death has local interest
as he was brothcr-in-law of Henry
Mustard, one of the old residents of
the Loomis neighborhood.
The writer knew Mr.. Goldman for
over quarter of century, and serv-
ed with him in the constitutional con-
vention. The last time We met Mr..
Goldman was in the hall of the state
capital, at Olympia, two years ago this
winter. AS we were passing along the
corridor we noticed gentleman close
L. scrutinizing large framed picture
of the members of the constitutional
convention. we thOugnt tnat we rec
ognized the gentleman, and walking
up to him had the pleasure of again
meeting Mr.. Goldman for the first time
in a number of years. Together we
went over the list of members of the
convention, noting those who had pas
sed away, and specializing as to who
might be the next Since then three
of the members from eastern Wash
ington have answered the last sum
mons, Judge Dunbar, j. j. Browne and
M. NJ. Goldman. There are not great
many of the old members remaining,
and as the survivors are getting well
along in years their days in the land
are about numbered.

A HARD TEST

Geo. Bartell motored in from Spo-
kane Monday in a brand new model
1915 Studebaker car, as trim and neat
an automobile as has ever been seen
in this place where the fight of ma
chimes is frequent, from all localities,
and of every vintage manufactured.
No new car has ever been given a
more severe test of indurance in this
part of the country than Mr.. Bartell's
new investment during the run to Oro-
vile from place of purchase. On the
high lands of Douglas county he ran
into eight inches OF new fallen snow.
Moreover, the snow had drifted in
many places to depth of two feet or
more. People at Mansfield declared
that he could not make the river. He
did, and without any mishap or in
convenience. The worst test, how
ever, was about and above Brewster,
where Mr.. Bartell encountered much
water, lying in deep pools in places.
Somehow the car waded through or
floated over, for he was not held up
on the road. The car is a daisy.

LIKE A HOLIDAY COLLECTION

To take a glance into the busy end
of the postoflice, i. e., behind the bar
icade of letter boxes, one -uld be led
to believe Christmas was perpetual in
this locality. Postmaster Mills has
one side of the room lined with shelves
and compartments, and any day one
can sneak behind the scenes into the
den of the postmaster and his assist
ant he will see these shelves piled
high with bundles, bales and boxes. OF
every conceivable size and shape, aud
the wonder is how the few pair OF
hands available in the office manages
to handle this enormous collection of
truck. But it is handled, and handled
promptly and efficiently The big
shipments are due to the parcel post
regulations, and if the collection at
the present time looks large what will
it be during the holidays. Why, simply
mountainous

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT

The scholars of the public school
have made preparations for giving an
entertainment in the Orpheum theater
next Wednesday evening, and the pro-
gram to be presented will be one that
cannot fail to please. 1t will provide
pleasant evenings relaxation for all
who attend, with laughs galore to
make up full measure. There will be
two fetching vaudeville skits, read
ings, vocal and orchestral selections,
a potpourri of good things to round
out delightful evening. There is no
entertainment like one given by local
talent to draw crowd, and this one
will be no exception to the rule. Then
there is another important reason why
a liberal spirit should so prevail in
the community as to make the attend
ance a record breaker. This perform
ance is given for the benefit of the
athletic association of the high school.
This year the business men have not
been touched, through various means
to aid the high school athletes, and be-
cause of that immunity all who can
should turn out next Wednesday even
ing and get their moneys worth while
helping a very deserving cause.

STATEMENT TO VOTERS

J. G. Prentice wishes to state that
the nomination for mayor came to
him wholly unexpected and unsOlicit-
ed. He has been asked for no favors
by any citizen of the town, and has
absolutely made no promises. If
elected he will represent all the peo
pie alike, those who were for him and
those who were against him. AS
mayor he will make no distinction as
to individuals. If elected he will go
into office untrammelled, and with the
single and only aim of doing all with
in his power for the best interests of
the town. During the past year or
two he has been especially able from
the business he follows of almost
daily travelling over every portion of
the town, hence is familiar with every
section, highway, street and alley. He
feels that he knows where improve
ments ought to be made and can be
made, and how they can be made at
the least possible cost. The office was
not of his seeking, but being from all
appearances the choice of a large ma
jority of the business men and tax
payers Of Oroville, he will do his best
to be elected by fair and honorable
means, and will feel no disappoint-
ment, nor nurse no grudge, if the vot-
ers decide adversely to his candidacy.

A SEVERE FALL

Mrs L. H. Hendrix is just recover
ing from an accident that might have
resulted very seriously, indeed her es-
cape being somewhat miraculous
Some days ago she was starting down
into the cellar at her residence near
the cemetery, and turned back to get
something that she had forgotten.
Suddenly she lost consciousness, and
when she recovered she was on the
cellar floor, having fallen down stairs.
She was very severely bruised about
the face and body, but fortunately no
bones were broken. There was com
pensating feature even in the accident,
as it is stated that the lady was suf-
fering from rheumatism at the time
of the fall and has felt no inconven-
ience from that painful ailment since
the shock. The method of cure, how
ever, is not recommended to the pub
liz

STEADILY IMPROVING

Few mining claims have ever been
opened up in this part of the country
that have responded so promptly in
extensive mineral showings as those
included in the Golden King group. 1t
is true that from the outset of opera
tions mineral has been constantly in
sight, especially in tunnel No. 2, which
was started on cropping ledge, but
the ore has improved both in extent of
surface and value with every foot of
progress, and the operators are feel
ing very much encouraged. Geo.
Engel, one of the Oldest settlers of the
north part of the county, who has
spent years at mining and prospect
ing, came down from the mine Satur
day where he has been working and
says that the ore showings in the tun-
mel at this time is the best he has ever
seen, and few men are more competent
to express an opinion upon the sub
ject than Mr.. Engel. If the ore holds
out in quantity and quality, as at pres
ent exposed, the property cannot fail
to make a paying mine. There is no
reason why it should not hold out, as
the ledge is in place and well defined,
between perfect walls. Mr.. Fisher,
who has charge of development work,
is very much elated over the pros
poets, and feels satisfied that the
Golden King is going to make one of
the great mining properties of the
northwest. If it does it will be an i'm
portant factor in the future upbuild-
ing of Oroville, as it is situated so
near the town.

LONG NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
To Straighten Out a Bad Piece OF
Road North Of OrOyille

The highway from Oroville to the in
ternational boundary to the north Is
one of the best in the county, with the
exception of stretch OF about mile
near the line, and furthermore is used
more, especially by automobiles, than
any other road in the county, as 1t is
the direct route travelled from Oroville
to Penticton and other British Column
bia towns. That mile of poor road
mentioned, which has always been =
hardship on vehicles of every descrlp-
ton, and ID nuisance that should have
been remedied years ago, is the heavy
grade at the north end OF the Old
Kelsey ranch, and the sharp down hill
drop and up hill pull just beyond the
Kelsey grade, that has to be negotiated
travelling either north or south. For
long time the local Commercial Club
has endeavored to have the road
changed to point nearer Osoyoos
lake, by which these annoying grades
could be escaped. At last their ef-
forts are about to be rewarded. Com
missioner Mitchell was induced to
stay over Sunday and he was taken
over the old road, and the proposed
new route pointed out to him by r.
Butler, l.. f. Pourtales and Chas.
Powell. The necessity of the change
was plainly obvious to Mr.. Mitchell,
and he promised to use his influence
with the board of commissioners to
have the necessary survey made and
the road changed. The proposed new
piece of road will cross private prop
erty, but led by the example Of R.
Butler, who owns a choice piece OF
lake front property, owners will make
any reasonable concession in order to
secure the change. If the new road is
the travelling public will
owe Messrs. Butler, Pourtales and
Powell a debt of gratitude for the ac-
tive part they have taken in securing
this most desirable improvement.

NEW OFFICERS

The Civic League held a regular
business meeting in the library room
last Friday afternoon for the purpose
OF selecting officers to serve for the
ensuing year. There was a good at
tendance of active members, and the
meeting passed off with the utmost
harmony. The following officers were
unanimously elected. President, Mrs.
j F. Samson; 1st vice president, Mrs.
Chas. T. Peterson; I'd vice president,
Mrs. j. A. Blackler; Sd vice president,
Mrs. r. G. Evans; recording secretary,
Mrs, A. p. Murray; corresponding sec
retary, Mrs. f. V. Covert; treasurer,
Mrs. G. l.. Armstrong. 1t takes the
ID dies to conduct harmonious cleo
ton, no frame-ups, no eleventh hour
circulars, no questionable methods.
May the lords of creation fall into the
same kind of habits before another
campaign.

FOOTBALL FRIDAY
Omak and OrOyille to Meet on the
GridirOn This Afternoon

OF all the football games of the sea-
son the one that takes place on the
local gridiron this Friday afternoon at
80, between Omak and Oroville high
schools, promises to be the most in
teresting and exciting so far played.
The teams will be very evenly match
ed, and as the locals will struggle to
retrieve the defeat sustained at the
hands of the Omak aggregation a few
weeks ago there will be no dull mo-
ments during the game. For the first
time this season Oroville will have out
its full eleven, some of the more sea-
soned veterans not having heretofore
taken part in the contests. In the
line will be seen the familiar faces of
several of last years team, among
them Vincent, Cole, Powell, Mitchell
and Prince, who will encourage the
newer timber to get in and drill. AS
a support and encouragement to the
home team every citizen who can spare
an hour from business tomorrow
should be on the grounds when game
is called cheer on the young athletics
iii their endeavor to win. While To-
cal pride will tend to favor the home
boys, let the prevailing spirit be one
OF generosity and magnanimity, ac
cording due commentator to the WIS.,
itors whenever their efforts are de-
serving of recognition, for the Omak
lads are clean sports, and have al
ways been gentlemanly off the field as
well as on. Athletics have done much
toward building up the local school
during the past two years, inducing
greater effort in the school room as
well as in the field and gym. The
following is the team and the positions
to be played in the Friday game:
Right end, Vincent.
Right tackle, DeMerchant.
Right guard, Fuller
Center, Blair.
Left guard, Mallory.
Left tackle, Mitchell.
Left end, Chas. Cole.
Quarterback, Powell.
Right half, Prince.
Left half, McMahan.
Full back, VIM. Cole.
Substitutes, Bovee, Bodey, Carrel.

ceeding has always been customary,
one of the largest crowds that has
ever attended a public meeting gather
ed in the town hall last Friday even
ing, including representative citizens
III every branch of business. H. w.
Bragg was chosen chairman, and s. b.
Starrett secretary. Upon the an
nouncement that nominations for
mayor were in order Jas. Ferguson
presented the name of j. G.. Prentice.
After the lapse of several minutes
there being no other names presented
a motion was made that nominations
be closed, and that the secretary cast
the vote of the house in favor of Mr.
Prentice e. A. McMahan and Ed
Davis were placed in nomination for
treasurer, Mr.. McMahan being the
lucky candidate. Geo. Bartell and
Chas. 7. Peterson were nominated as
councilmen for the two year term, and
j. Friis for the one year term. There
being no other business to transact q
motion to adjourn prevailed. The pro
ceedings throughout were harmonious,
and more enthusiasm manifested than
at any previous caucus ever held in
town for the selection of town officials.

veins of the old residents of the place.
They are just as sympathetic, as warm
hearted, as kindly and genial as in the
days when the hills echoed to the de-
donations that indicated the progress
OF mining operations, when money was
more plentiful than in any town OF the
same size in the west, and when
everybody was able to benefit at least
to some degree from the prevailing
prosperity. In those days the call OF
charity never sounder to deaf ears,
those in distress were always assured
ce instant succor, and rough though
some of the inhabitants may have been
there was not one of them who Would
not have divided his last crust with
one in want. They shared each oth-
er's sorrows, responded with alacrity
to any call to aid the sick, and III
death they turned out Ell masse 10
show that they earnestly deplored the
passing away of one OF their NUMBER.
At the funeral Thursday all the peo
pie of the town and country side at
tended, and the stamp of sorrow and
regret was imprinted upon every
and few eyes were un-
as the passing throng looked
upon the face of neighbor and friend
they were never to see again. Our
heart went out to the people among
whom we spent SO many years, and IN
the warmth of the friendly hand clasp
we felt that when the time came for
us to pay the debt to nature that each
and all of us must some day meet,
there would be many in the old camp
who would drop tear in our memory.
And probably no more gratifying feel
ing can come to any man.

THANKSGIVING DANCE

The Orovile orchestra files notice
through the medium of posters that
the organization has pre-emptied
Thanksgiving evening for big dance
in the Orpheum theater. After gor-
mandizing on turkey, or other fowl,
and the redundant trimmings that
generally accompanies the placing of
the bird upon the festal board, it will
be in order to round out the days fes-
tivities in the giddy whirl. The kind
OF music that the orchestra furnishes
is inspiration to flying feet, and the
opportunity to dance to that music
will be a drawing card on the oc-
casion. The boys promise all who
patronize the dance good time, and
they will live strictly up to that prom
ise. Be on hand and shake foot.

SOME OF THE ELECT

We had occasion to journey over to
Loomis Thursday afternoon last. 1t
was a sad mission, as the trip was
made for the purpose of showing the
last marks of respect for an old friend
the first visit to Loomis in three years.
The place is but placid relic of a
once live and prosperous mining
camp, and it was anything but pleas
ant to notice the transformation.
However, if Loomis is somewhat run
down from material, commercial.
an industrial point of view, the change
has not soured the milk of human
kindness that has always flowed in the

ANOTHER MASS MEETING

A number of residents not wholly
satisfied with the ticket nominated at
the public caucus last Friday evening
met in the Farmers store, or the
building in which the store is located,
Tuesday evening. ]. G. Hare was
chosen chairman, and Chas. F. Sig
rist secretary. DR.. F. A. Beale was
nominated for mayor, and it was de-

ticket as named at the caucus. 1t
was a very harmonious catering, and
the work of the meeting was speedily

singular natural foramtion of a medi-
cal article that enters so largely into
commerce should some day prove to
be source of immense income to the

it from becoming largely utilized be-
