THAT TAX IS WITH US

The hardships of the new demo-
cratic tax, announced as a war" tax
at time of profound peace, but in
fact necessary tax to provide means
to meet the deficiency created by dem
ocratic extravaganza and tariff tink-
ering, came directly home to the peo-
pie of Oroville Tuesday December /,
as it came home to the residents OF
every city, town and hamlet in the
land. Druggists, pool rooms and
theaters are gouged handsomely, as
well as other lines of business. Those
who now send telegram, long dis
tance telephone message, or file a
deed or other legal document must
affiX a stamp, writing across the face
OF the stamp the date of use and the
initials of the person using the same.
1t is not alone the extra cost that
works a hardship, but the annoyance
|of securing, licking, pasting and can
ceiling the stamps. Those who voted
the democratic ticket should take
their medicine with a smiling face and
say they like it. 1t is the other fell
lows who have kick coming. And
judging from the number of kickers
there are mighty few democrats left
10 enjoy this new measure for correct
ing democratic mistakes.

SHOULD BE SUPPORTED

The public is not extending to the
high school athletic association the
liberal and generous support that that
organization is entitled to receive.
There should exist sufficient pride
in the public school to cause the en-
tire community to turn out enmaSSe
at every field meet and entertainment
given by the school. Athletics have
only been introduced in the school
within the past two years, and al
ready the scholars have made a record
and are looked upon as among the
best performers in the several games
that are a part of school meets. Ath-
letics have aroused school spirit
that has never heretofore existed,
which has proved benefit to the
school without detracting in the least
from progress in the various lines
of study. An athletic association can
not be kept up without entailing more
or less expense, and the only source
OF income that the pupils can depend
upon is from receipts at games and
such entertainments as may be given
from time to time. The association
is now considerably behind on the ex-
penses of the season, and it is up tC
the citizens to see the organization
out of the hole.

KICKOFFS

In the first stanza of the opening
canto Vernie Nixon, Okanogan's hefty
left tackle, was so severely shaken up
that he had to retire in favor of Par
sons. Young Nixon was more severe
| ~ hurt than at first supposed, as he
tainted on the train going to Okano-
gan the next day, and subsequently
had to leave school and return to his
home at Tonasket.
Will Cole almost threw a faint just
at the close of the game. Had he had
minute more to jam his joints loose
in the head ON collision he would have
made a success of it.
Prince had a few ligaments, mus
cies and one thing aud another Jared
loose, but in few days the elasticity
of youth put him on his feet ready
for another round
The way Okonagar sized up the re-
suit was too much confidence"
The game does not exactly make
Oroville champions Of the county on
a percentage basis, but SO near cham
pions as to divide the honors with
Okanogan. Anyhow, Oroville is a very
close second, and had the team been
altogether, as it was on this occasion,
throughout the season it would be
now flying the flag. The boys have
done so we'll that everybody is justly
proud of them.
Geo. II. Ellis, of Spokane, one Of
the most enthusiastic football root
ers in the state, VINO has seen the
strongest college teams in the United
States contend against each other,
tor. He pronounced the game an ex-
ceptionally fine exhibition of football.
The game closed the season, and
the season could not have closed more
gloriously.
There was a fairly large crowd in
.tarferri:.s on the side lines, as excit-
ed crowds always do unless roped off,
but the crowd was not near as big as
it should have been.
The girls of the school are great
rooters, and made themselves heard
during the game. They have yell
that would make the hair of Puritan
stand on end and quiver with sur
prise.
All of the players on both sides
sustained their several parts we'll, and
each and all of them are deserving of
q full measure of praise.
Bovee, right guavd, gave way to
Mallory on the last half There was
no real object in making the change
as Bovee played his position like
veteran.
A fine lot of boys are they who hail
ed from Okanogan, and they took the
result like real spovts.

MAY SEE PREDICTIONS VERIFIED
THE ORIGINAL LOCATOR OF THE
GOLDEN KING MINE IN A
HAPPY HUMOR
Development is Demonstrating That
His Statements Of the Presence
of Ore Well Founded

julius Brechlin, OF Loomis, was in
town Friday last, and the old man
was in buoyant spirits, a mental con-
dition due to the remarkable showings
of high grade ore on the Golden King
group of claims. Mr.. Brechlin spends
much of his time at the mine, not only
closely watching proceedings, but
taking an active part in the work un-
derway. Mr.. Brectlin is happy be-
cause the property is turning out to
be just what he has predicted He has
always insisted that if there was ever
a mine opened up on the south slope
of Kruger mountain it would be found
Golden King are located. He had good
and sufficient reason for this optimis
tic view Mr. Brechlin is an old pros
pector. and there is hardly hill or
mountain within radius of many
miles of Loomis that he is not famil-
lar with, having tramped over them
time and again in search of hidden
wealth. Many years ago he located
the present Golden King group. With
little means but indomitable energy
he went to work prospecting the
ground. 1t is really astonishing how
much work he accomplished in the
way of driving tunnels and sinking
shafts, and during that investigation
he uncovered lodges of large size, the
ore from which assayed high. He
was so satisfied that he had made the
find of his life that he has hung ten
aciously to the holdings. Year after
year he has regularly and religiously
performed the annual assessment
work, and although well advanced in
years he handled the hammer and
drill as easily as a youth Haying at
last interested Messrs. Douglas and
Fisher in the property, and through
whose instrumentality the Golden
King Mining company was organized,
Mr.. Brechlin feels that under the
thorough system of development these
gentlemen have inaugurated the prop
erty will at a very early day become a
paying mine, confirming the declara
tion that he has so frequently made.
May he come in for a large income
from the property in the autumn OF
life is the wish of Mr.. Brechlin's many
friends in this upper country.

WORKING FOR A BETTER ROACI
NEW HIGHWAY DOWN
WEST SIDE OF THE Okla.
NOGAN RIVER
Provides Il Water Level Grade at n
Minimum Cost Between Orc.
vile and TOnasket

County Engineer Harry Young
spent some days in Orovile this week
surveying out proposed new road
down the west side of the Okanogan
river, yet after all this preliminary
work is finished the construction Of
this very important highway may be
blocked by single land owner who
has refused right-of-way, unless
that right-of-way is finally secured
through condemnation proceedings,
usually the last resort in such cases
The road that has been in use of
late years is erratic in it's course, fol-
lowing the base of the mountains, well
up ON the first bench, it has many
steep grades, sharn curves, and in
places is sandy anc rocky 1t is as
crooked as a spiral spring, and under
the best conditions only a compare
lively light load can be hauled over it.
In this age of constant appeal for bet
ter roads this road should have been
changed years ago, and such a change
would add value to the property along
the route and be of great advantage
to not only abutting land owners, but
to the general travelling public. For
some time property owners along the
proposed new route and residents of
Oroville having the interests of the
town at heart, have been working on
a plan to have the road changed to
point lower down in the valley and
near the bank of the river, which
would provide a water grade for miles
over which could be hauled loads
twice as heavy as those that can be
transported over the present road, be-
sides escaping the rough, crooked, up
and down hill route now travelled. 1t
required much time, urging and exsI
planation to induce all property own
ers to favorably consider the PROPOSE
ton, but eventually every one of them
with single exception was able to
see and realize the advantages of an
improved road. The holding out of
one land owner may block construc-
ton, unless the promoters decide up
on going into court. However, this
means of coersion is not desired on
ing of the road, and if a compromise
can not be reached it may be decided
to change the road to the east side of
the river If this latter plan is car
ried out it will be really unfortunate
for the west side land owners.
After spending Monday on the sur
vey Mr.. Young reports that an almost
level road could be constructed down
the west bank of the Okanogan to To-
nasket, road that when once COM
pleted would be the best public high
way in the county, bar none. So ex-
ceptionally favorable is the report of
the engineer that it is to be hoped the
party protesting will reconsider his
decision and join with other property
holders in securing the road.

DOING ASSESSMENT WORK

Chas. T. Peterson went up to the
Rich Bar mine, some five or six miles
west of town, on the Similkameen riv-
er, Monday, where the annual assess
ment work is being done under his
supervision. Patent was applied for
the claims embraced in the Rich Bar
group some time ago, but issuance of
patent has been delayed on account of
a homestead claimant entering n pro-
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1914-12-04

test on the grounds that the mineral
plains conficted with the homestead
itntry. Mineral was discovered, the
claims staked out and much money
was spent in development long be-
fore the contestant filed upon the
land, and that fact was known to the
entryman before the filing was made.
The case was decided in favor of the
mining company before the Water
willie land office. An appeal was taken
by the contestant to the commission
Ter of the general land office, who sus-
tanned the decision of the lower court
Ii was then appealed to the secretary
of the interior, where the case in now
pending. If the court of last resort
'sustains the decision already render
ed, and the chances are that such will
be the result, the company will do
extensive work at once. Not only will
the big ore body be further opened up,
but as the ore is first-class concen-
trating ore mill will be installed
and the property be made what it
should have been made long ago, a
producing mine.
The Rich Bar claims were located
by Mr. Peterson some ten years ago,
a company was organized and the
first work laid out was in the nature
OF an incline shaft following the ledge.
At the surface the ledge was four feet
in width, the ore carrying a strong
average value in gold, silver, copper
and lead. At the depth of 100 feet the
ledge had widened out to strong seven
feet, the values slightly importing.
The ledge is mineralized between two
well defined walls. The flow of water
in the mine is considerable, an excel
lent indication of ledge permanancy,
and not so much of it to cause any
trouble. The Rich Bar has always
been looked upon by mining men as
one of the very best prospects in this
part OF the country. 1t is no longer
a prospect, however, an investigation
has gone far enough to establish the
fact that ore is present in sufficient
quantities carrying such values as
justifies extensive working.

THE WHITE PLAGUE

The Washington association for the
is doing n great and most benevolent
work in the effort to reduce or entirely
eradicate the dread disease in this
state, carrying out its work in con
junction with the national association
Much has already been accomplished
in the way of alleviating the sick,
guarding against innoculation, educa-
ting the masses to the importance of
selfprotection, but the task is trem-
endous one and much work must be
done and time consumed before even
g preceptible advantage is gained in
the way of reducing the number of
cases. The following are a few bits
ton upon the subject of tuberculosis,
information that should be carefully
read and remembered by every resi-
dent of the state:
Every case of tuberculosis was
once an incipient case and, therefore,
durable.
THAT tuberculosis caused more
deaths in Washington last year than
typhoid 1856, measles 70, smallpox 8,
diphtheria 161. whooping cough 16S,
scarlet fever -112. combined-S67. Pull
monary tuberculosis 1874, other forms
3l9; total 1918
THAT tuberculosis is a germ dis
contracted only through repeatedly
taking the germs into the body?
That the disease can be prevented
by destroying the germs which pro-
duce it?
That the careful consumptive who
burns his sputum, uses his own dishes
and does not cough or sneeze where
any droplet of saliva may become dust
or contaminate food is not a menace
to the healthy?
That slight cough, loss of weight
and strength, afternoon fever. night
sweats is practically infalible in
detecting the presence of the tuber-
culosis germ? and splitting blood are
some of the earlier symptoms of tu-
berculosis?
That the acknowledged cure for it
is fresh air, good food and rest and
the treatment should always be di-
rected or varied by the advice of
physician?
That an impure milk supply is
dangerous, but that anyone may have
cattle tested with tuberculin free of
charge by communicating with the
state veterinarian, and that govern
ment reports show that this test is
harmless to uninfccted animals.
THAT flies carry great numbers of
germs on their legs and bodies, and
they breed in filth?
That information about tuberculo-
sis, or a lecture on the subject will be
furnished free of charge by the Wash
ington Association for the Prevention
and Relief of tuberculosis, 915 Cobb
Bldg, Seattle, Wash?
That moving pictures and stere-
optican lectures are furnished by spec
ial arrangement"
One method of raising funds for
carrying on this important campaign
against disease more fatal than war
is the sale, about holiday times, of
Red Cross seals Arrangements have
been made to place these Red Cross
seals on sale in Oroville, and from to-
morrow they can be purchased from
any of the business houses up to
Christmas. Let every letter and
package contain one of these seals.
The cost to the individual is trifling.
but millions of the seals will be sold
and the total sum derived from that
source will very materially aid in
cerrying on the good work
