ing themselves of the opportunities of
the state institutions of higher learn
ing would enter the army.
I'VE all know" said the Lieutenant
Governor, that when the federal gov
ernment undertakes anything, it usual
ly accomplishes it in a much better
and more efficient manner than any
one of the individual states. 1t could
and would introduce into the army life
with very little extra expense, an edu-
cational course that would make the
courses of most of our state colleges
and universities seem very poor in
comparison. Add to this superb men
tai education the inestimable benefits
of magnificent physical training, and
believe that | am not indulging in
an idle dream when | state that by far
the greater part of the youth of this
nation would only be too glad to en-
ter the army under such ideal circum-
stances"
Present Opportunities Limited.
When asked if our present educa-
tional facilities did not offer plenty of
opportunity to the boy desiring an
education to work his way through
college, the acting governor remarked
that he believed the number of such
opportunities to be far below the de-
mand. and then added: 81 am convinc-
ed that any number of boys who would
appreciate a good education are kept
from working their way through col
lege because young people often
wrongly imagine that there is some
sort of social humiliation involved in
it. But in the army, outside of the
division into officers and privates,
there would be perfect democracy
and equality. There would be no

MILITARY
TRAINING
FOR YOUTHS
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TRAPP
HAS PLAN WHICH WOULD ADD
TO THE DEFENSIVE STRENGTH
OF THE NATION.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. S1.-His
day spent at the Oklahoma militia
camp in Chandler last week was the
first intimate acquaintance OF Lieut..
Gov NJ. e. Trapp with the army. Mr..
Trapp was there as acting governor
and he made a brief address to the
regiment at the close of the day. He
admitted that, while he is a bit in
doubt as to the meaning of the collar
insignia of the officers and can't tell
a corporal from a sergeant by the man
ner of their garments, he said that he
has thought much about national de-
fense and recognizes the necessity of
doing something to strengthen the po-
sition of the United States in the mat
ter of preparedness.
Mr.. Trapp has plan that he thinks
might be worked out, which would be
of benefit to the individual boys and
also add to the defensive strength Of
the nation. This, in brief, is the en-
istment of youths into the army for
a period while they are of school age
and the conversion in part of the ar
my posts throughout the country into
military schools that would afford a
course of study for the term of the
,p1i ictn calculated q n Inata fbp
boys with good educations and zeal
for the military work.
Plan Meets With Favor.
persons to whom have mentioned
the plan are enthusiastic said Mr.
Trapp. "The theory is that a great
many boys of the farms who will
never be able to get more than COM
mon school education in the ordinary
course of events, might, by my plan,
receive a good education in the en-
yironment of the military and become
for years thereafter potential soldiers
for their country's defense. The edu-
Gated army officers in the many army
posts could carry on the instruction in
military and mathematics and they
could be supplemented by civilian
teachers on many other branches. The
time of the soldiers enlisted under this
plan could be devoted in part to Ieceiv-
ing an education and in part to mill
tary duties.
Il believe that if this plan could
be adopted the United States would
soon have an actual army large enough
for national defense and still the stand
ing army would not be increased un-
duly. 1t will be a constantly growing
reserve army of trained men in the
art of warfare and in the pursuits OF
civil life. The plan would offer unri'
vailed opportunities for boys who want
an education and are unable to Sc
cure il in the regular manner.
we have heard a great deal of talk
in the last few years about the waste
of natural resources. But this is a
much greater waste of the fine facili-
ties of thousands upon thousands of
young boys, due to the fact that they
are denied the genial warmth and eX-
pansion afforded by a good education.
If we corrected that waste we would
have made great progress toward the
solution of all our ills. for after all, il
is education that is the leaven.

A SLIGHT FIRE.

For the first time in two or three years
an alarm of fire startled the population
Tuesday afternoon about 4:30. The fin
was located in a small residence adjoining
the laundry, in the south part of
owned by Jas. Prentice and occupied bv
the family of Golden Bits. Many people
streamed down to the scene. The hO-"
carts were run down, but owing to the
distance and time lost in reaching the
ground and coupling to hydrant, the
building was almost entirely consumeu
before water was turned on. The waite
system made short work of the blaze
when a stream once got action. When
discovered the fire was breaking
the roof. The flames were first seen hN
persons passing some distance away
the west side of the Similkameen river
All of the furniture was removed so that
the loss was confined to the building. The
loss is placed at about $3.50, with no in
surance. The cause of the fire Is not
known, as Mrs. Bits was away from home
at the time. 1t ignited either from the
kitchen stove or from "A spark from the
laundry. This Is the first fire that has
occurred since the installation of the wa
ter works, and from the manner in which
it was drenched with single stream it
is evident that the town is well protected
from any ordinary fire, taken in time.

give a Halloween dance in the Orpheum,

events of the season.

PRACTICE GAME,

Inc hrst real practice game of foot
Dall took place ON the high school
GROUNDS Saturday afternoon, when the
hlSh school team faced picked eleven.
ne game resulted in a tie, to Z, after
pretty lively encounter, covering ten
minute periods. 1t was expected that
several OF the surveying crew would
appear IN the ranks of the picked nine
but 1t was made up principally of resi-
dents who have had no experience of
late years in the game. However, there
was beef aplenty in the picked eleven,
including such old tinfe players and
heavy weights as A. E. Williams, p. z.
Davis, Charlie Sigrist and Herod Nc
Cannon. When the lighter school boys
collided with such timber, biff, and the
school boy sailed off into the ozone
and dust, although before the end of
the session the youthful terriers would
down their beefy opponents before
they could make any yardage. AS a
scientific exhibition of the royal sport
the game was nothing to boast of. The
high school youngsters made a corking
good showing and there was some
clever playing, but they have much to
learn before they are in a class with
on the field, but they have tenacity, ac-
tyity. enthusiasm and there is
complete absence of any sign of the
yellow at crucial moments. They never
hestated at bucking the line, and took
punishment without batting an eyelid.
The stuff is in them out of which foot
ball players are made, and there is ev
cry reason to believe that they will
give creditable account of themselves
when they are put to the real test.
Moreover they are clean, manly, lot
of players and the teams that go
against them will receive fair treat
ment There will be no questionable
tactics on the field, and if they win it
will be on pure merit, the only way
winning games is worth while. Coach
Sigrist is putting the boys through
their PAGES, and practice is severe and
continual. This practice is giving the
lads muscle, confidence and wind and
they will be in fine fettle for the first
game played.

WHEAT BUYING.

In The past, rcgrettable to say, Oro-
willie has never presented a market to
the farmers where they could deliver
and receive the top ruling price for
their wheat, and although down hill
pull to the railroad from adjacent
wheat growing districts very little
grain has ever been delivered in Oro-
Vile. This absence of a market has
been corrected this year, as Charles
Powell, of the Oroville Commercial
company, is in the ring as wheat
buvcr, and is taking all of the mer-
chantable wheat that is offered, pay
ing the ruling price in cash on de-
livery Mr. Powell has ALREADY pur-
chased and shipped considerable
wheat during the short time tnat ne
has been engaged in buying, and
