A SPLENDID SUGGESTION

Clay Fruit, one of the men chiefly
instrumental in putting Tonasket on
the map, was a visitor in Oroville
Tuesday. Mr.. Fruit is using his in
fluence to have the work on state road
No. 10, between Tonasket and Oroville
done by day labor. He suggests that
r. l.. Picken be recommended to the
highway commission as the proper
person to supervise this work. A bet
ter recommendation could not be
made, for the roads already construct
ed under the supervision of Mr.. Pick
en- in this county stand as a monu-
ment to his efficiency in that line. Mr..
Picken had charge of the construction
of the stretch of road south of To-
nasket, and no traveller has ever pas
sed over that highway without express
sing satisfaction with the manner in
which that work was carried out. 1t
stands an example for permanent
road construction throughout the
county. MIR. Fruit feels satisfied that
If strong combined effort is made the
highway commission can be induced
to accept the services of Mr.. Picken,
and consent to have the work done
with day labor. Everybody knows
what the letting out Of public work
by contract means, as a rule. The
successful bidder usually sublets, and
the single aim of the sub, taking the
job at reduced figures, is to make as
much out Of it as possible, with as
little cost to himself as possible, and
with practically no interest in the way
the work is done. This thing of look
ing out for the main chance on pub
lie contract work, as the people pay
the freight, is so common as to be
notorious, and the best results are
never obtained through that system
Putting the work in the hands and un-
der the eyes of such a man as Bob
Picken, who not only takes a pride in
making good, permanent roads, but as
a resident and taxpayer of the county
is interested in securing good roads,
means that every dollar of the approp-
ration would be spent to the very
best advantage. If through the ex-
ertions of the people of Oroville and
Tonasket the highway commission can
be induced to have state road No. 10,
in this locality, constructed under
this plan, it is the duty of every citi-
zen to lend his aid for the consumma-
tion of that object Furthermore, Mr.
Fruit offers to donate the use of a
team to help out the work, and no
doubt others interested in the con-
struction of this road would be will
ing to do the same. 1t is confidently
believed that with the appropriation
and the donated assistance Mr.. Pick
en- could complete a first-class road
between Tonasket and Oroville. The
object is one we'll worth working for,
and working hard.

Donald Riste met with rather
singular and painful accident on the
tennis court Saturday afternoon.
While playing tennis he jumped to
catch high batted ball, and his foot
slipping he fell to the ground, strik-
ing on his left hand, which he invol-
UNFAIRLY extended to break his fall.
One bone of the arm between the
wrist and elbow snapped. He was
taken across the street to the Oro-
vile hospital, where Dr.. Lewis at
once set the bone and placed the arm
ir a plaster cast. The injury Is not
serious, but the young man will be

pit, yet it is interesting reading. In
teresting because it bears a foreign
date line, a foreign postage stamp,
and because it has come across seas
where tragedy reigns rampant and the
vessel that escapes mine, submarine
and cruiser can be considered FORUM
ate indeed. The most interesting
thing about the epistle is that it was
written by Hon. Hans Lund, who is
so we'll known in this locality, and
who is such a confirmed traveller that
the dangers attendant upon visiting
countries at war, or near the war
zone, have no deterrent influence up
on the habit. In fact they seem to in
tensify a desire to get nearer the
trouble than is altogether necessary.
The letter is published because any
thing in the way of a communication
from that part of the civilized world,
now very much uncivilized through
the efforts Of scientific barbarians to
massacre each other, even if it does
not convey any important information
such as readers hungereth for, is in
teresting. The letter is dated from
Aarhuus, Jutland, Denmark, which is
as close to the smell of powder as the
inquisitive and plucky Dane had man
aged to reach up to that time, al
though hopeful of sneaking over the
line and eventually reaching the dang

 Ut is rumored that Wiley has sold his stock in the company to a group of capitalists who are anxious to ex- pand the business in preparation for the big rush expected to Alaska next spring. The Admiral Line may pur- chase several new steamers for the Alaska run and a new boat for the San Francisco run.

WE WANT ALSACE
 CRY THE FRENCH
SOLDIERS ON BOTH SIDES FIGHT WHILE WALKING
 ON SKIS.
(By The Associated Press,)

GENEVA, Jan. 6.-"We want Alsace" is the war cry of the French troops along the right of the long bat tie line. They are eager to advance and during the last few days between Verdun and Belfort there have been serious encounters.
 Some times the battles are fought in snow storms. At SeppOis in Alsace the soldiers fired in the direction of the noise, not being able to see a hun dred yards on account of the storm.
 The regiments on both sides which have been supplied with skis for the winter are making good use of them. The French Chasseurs Alpins use them with great facility, having climbed in peace times the Swiss and French Alps, mounting several times to the summit of Mont Blanc in whole regiments. Recently at Bresel in Alsace a company of French troops swept through a forest on skis and cut off the retreat of a company of German scouts whom they made prisoners.
 The French have been bombarding Seppois, Bresel and Larystsen Gin Alsace) for the last two days with their famous 75 guns. A large num- Der of German landwehr soldiers and civilians are at work at Waldhigoten constructing the double railway line from Leopoldshoehe and St. Louis. The French artillery with it's base at Belfort has now moved up to within five miles of AltKlrch. french lh- fantry and artillery now command the heights above Guebwiller which will soon become intenable by the German garrison.
 The Swiss paper JOurnel du Jura reports from Belfort that a Large number of heavy creusot guns have recently arrived at Verdun, making the fortress more secure from attacks. The French army ascending from the Schlucht on Stossweier and Munster captured Gebwenheim near Cernay, where 5000 Germans are holding the place. This manoeuvre and success open a direct communication with Bel- fort instead of passing by the Ballon d Alsace. In these engagements sev- eral thousands soldiers on both sides

BELGIAN WOMEN ASK
 SHOES FOR CHILDREN.
Lack of Footwear Causes Much Suf-
 fering Amongst Refugees.
tBy The Associated Press.)

AbY lUe AboOSldbtu So"'l
 HAVRE, Jan. 6.-Lack of shoes is causing so much suffering among the Belgian refugees particularly among the women and children, that M. schoellart, president of the Chamber of representatives of Belgium and head of the Belgian relief society of Havre, has issued an appeal on thelr behalf. This appeal is addressed especially to Americans, since many letters of inquiry have been received from them at the Belgian government building in Havre, asking what sup plies are most needed.
 Women and children, whose cloth ing was left behind in the rush to es- cape, have been the first care of M. Schoellart. The able bodied men, especially laborers and mechanics have no trouble in getting work.
 The refugees have been spread pretty we'll over France in order to prevent congestion in the cities and to provide more opportunities for self support. There remain about 1900 in Havre. Edmond Vidal, who is in charge of the distribution of supplies, says that the discarded clothing he received is entirely inadequate, inde- pendent of the shoe question. Most of the refugees had worn out their shoes in walking before they reached France, he finds, and donations of clothing seldom include shoes. During the icy weather of the past week, the relief quarters were packed with women begging for shoes for them selves and children.

TEST THAT NEVER FAILED
Mine Foreman Had Particular Reason
for Patronizing Sawyer's Place
on His Vacation"

Among the old miners Of Siskiyou
county a man can get worse whisky
at Sawyer's bar than in any other
place on earth. This is the belief Of
the gold-diggers of that section. and
that faith is accepted as orthodox, says
the San Francisco Call.
Regularly every Christmas Billy X.
foreman of the Orc Elmo mine, takes
his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once
the superintendent asked him why he
always selected that place for his va.
cation.
Il want to have one yearly drunk
said Billy, "and l want to know just
when I am drunk, so that I may enjoy
the sensation"
We'll, can't you enjoy the sensation
in any other portion Of the county OF
state or continent" asked the super
intendent.

whisky and it begins to taste good

rooms really make M large room, 10
feet in width by 81 feet in depth. 1t
is a grand DON with plenty of light
from the front as well as the side.
Such a combination living room and
dining room requires a uniform de.
sign in woodwork in both rooms. The
floor is Of hardwood and the wood
work from the Dashboard to the crown

heavy, but severely plain; the only
difference in the general woodwork de
sign Of the two rooms is in the plato
rail and built-in buffet.
Where the living Dom and dining
room are used as one room the plate
rail sometimes is left out. The din
ing table is placed in one end of the
room next to the kitchen. All the
furniture as we'll as the woodwork cor
responds, so that an elegant room,
comfortably furnished, results. 1t Is
much easier to furnish a large room
than a small one, a fact that must
be appreciated because there are SO
many large living rooms in the newer
houses.
Especial attention is given to the
woodwork and general finish Of the
kitchen. The work Of lathing and
plastering is carefully done, and the
woodwork is hard and smooth. and
the whole surface of the walls and
ceilings is given a smooth, glossy fn-
ish of pure white enameled paint.
