DEATH OF JACK EVANS

Word was received by telegram last
Friday by his son, Robert, that Jack
Evans had just died at Lytton, B. G.
There were no particulars, the few
saG words upon tho yellow sheet of
paper conveying the meagre informa-
ton of the death of one of the pion-
eer settlers of this part of the Okano-
gan valley. The dispatch was sent
by sister of the deceased, and it is
presumed that death occurred at the
home OF that sister.
Jack Evans was among the first
white men coming to northern OkanO-
gan county to locate, and spent over a
quarter of a century in this locality.
There is some conflict among old tim
ers as to the exact year of his arrival,
but it was in the very early sos. He
packed, horse wrangled and followed
the various avOcations that the early
arrivals turned their hands to for a
livelihood. He married daughter of
the late Hiram (Okanogan) Smith,
who preceded him to the grave a
number of years, and Is survived by
one or two children.
The deceased left Oroville some two
years ago for British Columbia, drift
ing from one place to another. Moth
ing is known of his early life, or from
what part of the east he came by any
of his old acquaintances in this place.

petition. There will be races, straight
away and hurdle, discus throwing,
jumping, ball games, and numerous
other exhibitions of strength, agility
and skill, requiring the exercise of
nerve and endurance. The sports will
be clean and free from jockeying and
questionable methods that too often
spoil the pleasure of professional con-
tests. The youths of the county have
double incentive to do their best, in
dividual records and the glory of their
own school. 1t will be sport seeing
full Of thrills and pleasurable excit-
ment. Oroville will extend a hand of
welcome to the visitors. 1t will be the
aim to make every student, every
stranger in the town, on that occasion,
feel glad they came. 1t is the desire
that participants and their friends re-
turn to their several homes feeling
that they had been treated right, car
rying with them desire to return
again at the first opportunity. The
town will be very much alive and bril-
liant with the colors of the various
schools, and all should see to it that
Purple and Gold," the emblematic
colors of the home school are display
ed profusely. Let all strive to make
the occasion one that other towns will
strive to initiate at future meets.

FIRE AT CONCONULLY

The residence of Sheriff Harry
Stark, at Conconully, with all its Con-
tents, was destroyed by fire Saturday
morning. A girl working for the
family took the long chance that has
been fatal in so many instances and
the cause of so much property loss
She attempted to accelerate the kitch-
en- fire with coal oil, and with SO much
success that the entire premises went
up in smoke. The girl fortunately es-
capped. J. D. Logan, of Waterville,
who was in Conconully at the time,
was the first person to see the fire,
He ran to the house and as he got
there Mrs. Stark rushed out OF the
front door, staggered to the gate and
fell exhausted. Flames burst through
the door the moment after Mrs. Stark
made her exit, showing how narrow
was her escape. That she was able
to get out of the building at all is
almost a miracle. The lady is suf-
ferer from consumption, and has been
confined to her bed for weeks. Ex-
citement, and the instinct of self-pres-
ervation, gave her the momentary
strength to reach the open air. Mr.
Logan placed the exhausted woman
in his car and conveyed her to a
neighboring residence. The loss is
a severe blow to Mr.. Stark, as every
thing he possesses was consumed.

Is on the brink of the allotted age of
man, three score years and ten, as he
has passed the 69th mile stone in his
tramp through life. Last Friday, be-
tween 1880 and IL a. m., he dug
trench three feet deep, two feet wide
and 80 feet long. He put in the after

was mentioned only as a matter of
course, as a sort of daily occurrence,
his only protest being that he had to
buckle into the job braced up with
only three hot cakes for breakfast. 1t
was not the labor he found fault with,
it was the hard luck OF accidentally
being out OF provender more substan-
tial than the measely flapjacks. Dad"
has a habit of doing an honest days
work for an hOnesct days wage, and
in consequence he has a greater de-
mand for his services than he can
conveniently supply. His orders
ahead are conclusively proof that
no man needs to be out of work if he
does his work we'll.
This ditch digging reminds the
writer of little experience In having
the same kind of work done last sum-
mer. He had trench to dig three
feet deep, about three feet wide, and
probably dozen feet long. He paid
to two men for doing the work $12.80,
which would represent four days labor
for one man at So per. Like sucker
that he is he stood for the stab, al
though feeling outraged both in mind
and pocket. This episode is thrown in
parenthetically, and to emphasize the
fact that while Dad" is overwhelmed
with orders the others find it difficult
to keep busy. The moral is that the
man who treats his fellowman fair ;.Ad
just in the exchange of labor for the
common circulating medium is not
wasting most of his time hunting for

BACK ON THE ROAD

Dr.. H. L. King, of the King Optical
Co., Spokane, spent Saturday in Oro-
Vile, doing things for the improve
ment of the sight of those eyes placed
under his hands for rectification. For
some years past DR.. Vinton, he of port
ly and pleasing presence, made this
field at regular intervals representing
the house of King, but sad to say, and
it will be sad news to those who knew
and liked the gentleman-for to know
him was to like him--to learn that DR..
Vinton has passed to that bourne
where glasses are not needed. So the
King himself has again entered the
territory that he can well claim as his
own preserve by priority of discovery,
after an absence of nearly score of
years, and in the future will visit Oro-
vile and the towns of the county at
stated periods. Many are the eyes up
this way that own their usefulness to-
day to the ministrations of DR.. King.
In the age when travel was confined
to stage, horseback and foot DR.. King
used to make this county, and all who
knew him made kind of holiday
when the merry doctor projected him.
self into the community. When not
busy fitting glasses to eyes off color
he was mingling with the population,
making that population glad that he
was around. He always did business
on the square and the character of
his work was standing recommended

mess he enjoys in the city in which
he lives. Time has hit Doc lightly,
and he is as spry on his feet, as full
of ginger and as optomistic as he was

"BOUGHT AND PAID FORn

The above is the title of a delight
fully exciting and interesting drama
that is to be given in the Orpheum
theater tomorrow Saturday evening
by the Alvin J. Eckhardt company,
said to be made up of some of the
best stage artists on the road. The
company is making jump from
Grand Forks, B. c., to Penticton, B.
c., and the Okanogan lake cities. via
Oroville, and as 1t is necessary to re-
main here over night it was decided
to fill the date in the local theater,
thus giving an Oroville audience an
opportunity to see dramatic perfor-
nance of superior character. This
will be beyond doubt one of the
strongest plays ever produced in this
place by a professional company, and
should result in drawing out very
large audience. The company Is one
of the best on the road, and usually
plays only the larger towns. 1t is
only by chance that our people have
an opportunity to see the troupe in
the production of the powerful play,
Bought and Paid For" which Is
praised by the press wherever it has
appeared. A full house should well
come the visitors, as a generous re-
ception would encourage other COM
panies in the higher class to make
Oroville one of the objective points
in making up their itinery.

kEENLY ON THE JOB

The game commission of this coun-
ty are keeping a sharp lookout for any
infringement of the game law, and the
man who kills game out Of season is
going to get into trouble. This might
as well be understood first as last, and
a strict compliance with the law will
save some hard earned dollars.
Last week one of the deputy ward
ems caught couple of Indians with
the carcass of a deer, and an arrest
followed. The men, Edward Pierre
and Spanish Andrew were taken be-
fore Judge Sincock, at TOnasket and
fined $50 and costs.
While on the subject of the commits
sion it may be as we'll to publish a
letter recently received by a resident
OF the valley from l.. H. Darwin, state
fish commissioner and chief game
warden. The letter is a reply to an
inquiry as to the right of county
commission to set aside a game pre-
serve without requiring the consent
of property owners within the bound
says:
las the law of the state is written
it does not require the consent of
those owning the property in order
that game preserve may be estab-
lished embracing it. The reason of
the publication of notices is required
to give all concerned the knowledge
of the boundaries of the preserves.
1t is because the law gives the right
to establish game preserves without
the consent of the land owners that
it is being attacked in several coun-
ties and will, undoubtedly, soon make
it's way to the supreme court"

that audience is sure going to be
vast. This show is going to be a dark
face extravaganza, with vaudeville
numbers sandwiched in to give spice,
piquancy and variety 1t Is rather an
ambitious undertaking for the young
ladies to assay, but those who have
had glimpse at the rehearsals say
that the public is in for something ex-
ceptional in the way of amusements.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY

This community was previously
| shocked Thursday morning upon
learning of the suicide of Miss Ruth
Strong, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
A. Strong, which occurred at Chesaw
some time during Wednesday, and
news of which was conveyed by tele-
phone to the father and brother at
this place Wednesday evening.
The case is one of the saddest of
record in this county. About year
ago Miss Strong was engaged to be
married to Elmer Gassert, worthy
young man living near Chesaw, and
the wedding was soon to take place.
Mr.. Gassert was taken ill, and physi-
clans pronounced his ailment incur
able. His sickness, and the trial that
his condition was to his mother, prey
ed upon the young mans mind and in
a moment of mental alteration he
took his own life. The tragic death of
her betrothed was a blow from which
Miss Strong never recovered. She
could not be consoled. Time did not
alleviate her sorrow and nothing that
the family could do could turn her
mind from her loss. She made sew
eral visits to the grave from Republic,
mother for the past three years. She
had evidently been contemplating
self-destruction, for the act was de-
liberately planned. Tuesday evening
she arrived at Chesaw on the west
bound train from Republic. Wednes-
day she secured vehicle at Chesaw
and drove to the cemetery alone Not
returning toward evening an acquaint-
ance went to the cemetery and found
the unfortunate girl dead upon the
grave of her lover. Death was due to
poison.
The deceased was we'll known in
Oroville, where she lived with her
parents for some two years. She was
sweet, winsome young girl, develop
ing into capable and charming young
woman, beloved by all who knew her.
Her shocking and untimely death is
deplored by a large circle of friends,
and the sympathy of the community
goes out to the stricken family. The
deceased was only some eighteen
years of age, and was born in Alex
andra, Minn., coming to Oroville with
her family sOmo five vaars ago
