HIT BY THE WAR

Travellers report that business in
every line just across the line in
British Columbia is deplorably de-
pressed in consequence of the Europ-
can war, which has put crimp in
prosperity far beyond the confines of
the countries where the big difficulty
il being adjusted by the arbitrament
o. arms. Shelters have closed down,
mines have suspended operations, pay
rolls have been eliminated and a gen.
eral gloom prevails. At Grand Forks
the Great Northern round house is
closed, and trains are run to Phoenix
only three days in the week. OF
course this suspension of industrial
operations and consequent hard times
il only temporary, but very pinching
while it lasts. Canada is one of the
richest countries in the world in ma
tural resources, inexhaustible re-
sources that are in the very first
stages of development, and the time
is coming when the great territory
will revive and see the most prosper
cut period of it's history, but that will
have to be after the stupendious war
is over and exhausted Europe de-
mands the products that Canada is
capable of supplying. In the mean
time, however, a great hardship is
going to be worked upon the inhabit-
ants of that extensive empire.

LOG ROLLING

The residents of the Similkameen
valley had an old fashioned log roll
ing and house raising party at the A.
NJ. Riste place one day last week. A
few months ago the home of Mr. Riste,
near Chopaka, was destroyed by fire.
IL was a log house, and the family hav-
ing become so we'll pleased with that
kind of building when it was decided
10 rebuild logs were selected as the
material. Selecting spot in a pretty
pine grove near where the old house
stood, and having the logs ready,
neighbors were invited to aid in put

THE BONE OF CONTENTION

P. ID. Smith and Fred j. May, two
well known residents of Conconully,
were visitors in town Wednesday.
They were doing missionary work in
the county seat removal contest, and
naturally are forninst removal. Op-
pCnents of removal are putting up
a strong fight, as was to be expected,
and for which no faiit can be found
The strong card being played at the
present time is county division, and
division is suggested in such a shape
as to arouse the ambition of several
towns in the county. Hold out the
hope of a county seat to a community
and it is temptation that few COM
munities can resist, although the lines
of division necessary TO place that
community in position on the map
for county seat are almost a physical
impossibility. 1t is a smooth game,
but it holds out promises that can
never materialize as an actuality no
matter how the vote stands on coun-
ty seat removal. Division has been
attempted more times than county
seat removal, and division is as far
removed today as it was twenty years
ago. The conditions will remain the
same until The people OF all parts of
the county can get together on final
lines of demarkation, and so long as
there is a multitude of candidates for
county seat honors no amicable un-
derstanding can be reached. All men
who give the matter thought realize
this fact, and waiting for division
means an indefinite postponement of
county seat removal

Hon. w. w. Tolman, the widely
known attorney and leading democrat
o. eastern Washington, was in town
several days this week on legal bus
mess, representing the Similkameen
Power company in a hearing as to it's
rights in the power site at the falls
that it has been in possession of for
50 many years. Mr.. Tolman was de-
feated in the race for congress at the
recent primaries, which was one of
the surprises of the election, as it
was generally believed that he had a
cinch for the nomination.
Dave L. Gillespie or the Brewster
Herald was visitor in Oroville over
Monday night. MIR. Gillespie is one of
the pioneer residents of the south end
Of the county, and he has exerted a
great deal of influence in the develop
ment of the country around Brewster,
as he has taken part in every move
ment that has had for it's object the up
building of Brewster and the adjacent
territory. We have known Mr.. Gill
lespie for so many years that it is diff
ficult to locate the exact date of our
first meeting. Time is treating the
genial old print kindly, although the
SHOWS of years have commenced pep
pering his hair, and he is as active as
ir the days when he was the crack
ball player of the Big Bend.
DR.. Walter c. Mason, who has a
ranch near Havillah, and furthermore
is living on it, pushing the plow and
harvesting the products that have re-
warded his efforts, was a visitor in
town last Thursday afternoon. DR..
Mason has had a number of years ex-
perience as physician and surgeon,
and is equipped to resume parctice at
any moment. He fell for the back to
the soil movement about year ago,
more as a restful change than through
any hope of wrestling a fortune from
mother earth on the wheat and corn
route, and the country around Havil-
lah appealing to him there is where
back to the practice of his profession
some day, and the Community that he
joins will be enriched by the presence
Of very pleasant gentleman.
The hunting party composed of A.
E McMahan, Chas. Loudon, Frank
buckingham and Wilfred Finsen re-
turned home Saturday evening after
an absence of two weeks in the noun
tains in the west part of the county.
They were fully 100 miles west of Oro-
Vile, probably well into Whatcom
county. So far as game is concerned
they had very poor luck, considering
the distance travelled and the time they
were out. Charlie Loudon managed to
kill buck, but it was a water haul
for the balance of the crowd. Although
game was scarce the party has no COM
plant to make, as they had delight
full outing, although encountering some
rough weather. The morning they
started for home they experienced one
of the heaviest snow storms that any
Of them have ever seen. This was no.
unreasonable, considering that the
hunters were at an altitude of about
5000 feet.

RESPOND TO THE CALL

The letter below from the vice-con-
.ol Of Belgium stationed at Seattle
4 a pathetic appeal to the charity OF
,he state that should touch every SYM
nsthetic heart, and win substantial
response from every community in
,he land The noble bravery of the
peleians, their heroic self-sacrifice
,hair stubborn resistance to an over
xhelming invading army, the most
nerfect fighting machine on earth
awakened the admiration of the peo-
ple Of all countries. War has devast-
ated Belgium, it has brought sorrow
suffering and ruin to an earstwhile
contented, frugal, peaceful and indust-
rious people. The suffering that the
people of Belgium have undergone,
ue undergoing, is beyond pen to de-
scribe. Their unhappy country has
been made the theater of cruel and
alamitous war. 1t is not war of
their seeking. 1t was forced upon
them and the hapless land is being
made the battle ground of nations.
Naturally the common people must
shoulder all the burden common to
the horrors OF war. Their fields are
devastated, their homes wrecked,
their property destro, ed and they have
No recourse for redress. They need
help, The need is more pressing as
winter comes on. Let Oroville re-
spond and contribute it's mite toward
the cause of humanity. Read the let
ter and then act. Let us raise fund,
even il small, to help the suffering:
Dear Sir:
May l ask the favor of few lines
in your valuable publication in aid of
our Belgium War Relief Fund.
Everybody has read, not only in the
United States, but all over the world,
ol The disastrous war now raging be-
tween the powerful nations of Europe,
the dreadful slaughter of tens, nay Of
hundreds of thousands of able-bodied
men, and the ruin and desolation in
its wake.
Belgium, my native country, one
sixth the size of the state of Wash
ington, as usual is the innocent vic
tim. 1t has seen it's territory invaded
by powerful neighbor without any
cause whatever, it's soil trampleG un-
der foot, crops ruined, towns burned
! and ransacked, women, childrenf and
Old men precipitately leaving their
homes and belongings, fleeing for
their lives, unprotected, whilst the
men went bravely to the front, valiant
ly fighting in defense of their country
ard their liberty.
1t is in order to alleviate, as far as
humanity can do SO, for their misery
Is beyond description, that we have
organized Belgium War Relief Fund
for the state of Washington and this
northwest.
The newspapers of Seattle have
kindly devoted some space in their
publications. Might l ask the same
favor Of you, for humanity's sake?
The appeal is made specially to all
Belgians residing in these parts-but
all donations by kind sympathizers
and those who admire the courage of
our little country will be thankfully
acknowledged by me.

kIoWA POST OFFICE RoBBED;
LOAD SAFE IN WAGON

Kiowa, Okla, Oct. 17.-Loading a
safe on a wagon and getting away
with it unseen, though not an easy
job. was successfully accomplish
ed here early this morning by rob
bers who broke into the post office.
The safe contained all the money
and stamps of the office. The rob
bers however, failed to entirely fin
ish their work.
Soon after the robbery was dis
covered officers took the trail and
came upon the robbers when their
wagon broke down, piling the safe
on the ground. The bandits took 70
the woods, leaving their loot in
the road. The safe was brought
back to town and placed in the
building. No ..t.e'I ut had been made
10 open the safe the robbers evi-
IDENTIFY not being able to do it and
concluded to take it away to some
secluded place and blow it open.
The noise of an explosion would
probably have awakened the inhabit-
ants.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail
of the robbers, but they had not
been found late today. The boldness
of the robbers was remarkable, mas
much as it requires some time to
load n safe of the kind on a wagon
and make their escape without hav-
ing been noticed
