A SAD CASE.

Everybody realizes that times are
hard bitterly hard and they are. In
the midst of an abundant harvest. a
condition of peace and to all appear
ances, plenty, with people ready, will
ing and anxious to work, there seems
no real reason why money is so
scarce, that stagnation should prevail
in business and work hard to get.
Something is radically wrong some
where. Yet, while we complain of busi-
ness and industrial inactivity and the
difficulty of coming in contact with
cash, the people of this state are in a
happy situation as compared with
those just across the line in British
Columbia. OF course there is a reason
over there to account for prevailing
paralysis, confronted as the people are
with a gigantic struggle which is sap
ping the vitality of the country and
threatening its very existence. Living
as we do so very near the border op-
portunity is given for knowing the
hardships that are blighting the Can
adams, for many of them are drifting
over here in search of work. AS a sim
gle illustration last week man was
met walking on the road between Ton
asket and Oroville by two gentlemen
in an auto. He was invited to ride and
accepted the invitation. The stranger
stated that he was a Canadian and had
walked 32 miles that day in search OF
work and failed to find any. He claimed
that he owned considerable property
in Fort George, but could not dispose
of anything at any price. He had to get
out of the town in order to find en-
ployment and that himself and wife
| had walked 600 miles to the United
States in the hope of finding work in
order to exist. He was an intelligent
man and seemed sincerely honest. He
certainly displayed a Willingness to
work, if he could only get work to DO
If was a sad case, yet the saddest feat
ure is that his experience is only the
experience of many others.

STARTING THE SEASON.

The first football practice at the high
school will be held next Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Davis, who has the direction
of all high school athletics, has secur-
ed the services of Chas. F. Sigrist, as
football coach, and in so doing has un-
doubtedly given Oroville the beet and
most widely experienced football coach
in the country. In ell Mr.. Sigrist has
played ten years of football. Two years
at Oberlin academy, six years at Ohio
state university, and two years at
the University of Washington. While
at Ohio he was all-state tackle for
three years, and was all-northwest
tackle during his two years at the
University of Washington. In addition
to his stellar work as performer on
the gridiron, Mr.. Sigrist assisted with
the coaching for two seasons at the
University of Washington, and helped
to turn out a championship team both
years. Mr.. Sigrist is not only a past
master in the art of football, but is an
energetic and enthusiastic worker, and
is endowed with a personality that en-
ables him to get tn" best possible re-
suits from his team. The football field
at the foot of High School hill, is being
put in excellent condition, so that &C
tual practice can commence the first
day of school.

Kruger mountain is a good field for
practical mining men to look over
While mining SO far, in that locality
has been practically confined to the
surface, or at least only a slight
depth, the prospecting has uncovered
ore, and lots of It. Every indication en-
courages confidence in the continual
ton of the leads, and no virgin ground
holds out better promises. The 49th
Parallel is only one of numerous ex-
cellent holdings in that particular min
ing zone. If by his energy and enter
prise Mr.. Stanton attracts attention to
that district there is no valid reason
why, in few years hence with prac-
tical men behind the ventures, there
should rot be several paying mines on
Kruger mountain. If that happy con-
dition could be brought about a smelter
at this point would be the natural
|corollary. The consequences to follow
the installation of such a plant would
be the speedy building up of an i'm
portant and prominent city upon the
ground that Oroville only partially
covers today.

A HANDSOME PAMPHLET.

A copy of the pamphlet issued by the
immigration department of the Grea
Northern railroad, entitled the "West
Okanoagn Valley Irrigation District,
has been received at this office, and
while artistic and attractive in design
and finish the chief feature of recon.
mendation Is the vast amount of valu.
able information it contains relative to
that part of the Okanogan valley CON-
ing under the influence of the big irri-
CATION system now in process of con-
Istruction. The views that the pamphlet
contain are such as appeal directly to
those who wish to invest for the pur-
pose of making homes. They show
orchard scenes, alfalfa fields, homes
surrounded by almost tropical vege-
tation and collections of live stock,
representing the diversity of products
that is possible on valley tract. An
other important feature of the publica-
tion is an outline map of the entire
district, showing the lines of the pro-
posed bitches on both sides of the
Okanogan river from the British Col
umbia line to the south terminus below
Tonasket A description is given of
each tract offered for sale, and a cor
responding number in red figures on
the map shows where the tracts are To-
|cated. Nothing could be more conven-
lent for the man looking for location
or investment. The cover page is a
view of the valley looking south from
the bench above Oroville. Altogether,
it is one of the most valuable descrip-
tive publications that has been issued
as yet, covering the advantages and
attractions of Okanogan county.
The object now Is to distribute
these pamphlets where they will do
the most good. To get them circulated
as widely as possible e. c. Leedy, gen.
eral industrial agent for the Great
Northern road at st. Paul, Mimi,
writes this paper as follows:
'The people of your town and sur
rounding country who are interested
in the future development Of the Okla
hogan project can be of assistance in
advertising this and giving a distri-
button to the pamphlet. If they will
furnish us with the names and ad
dresses of their friends who are in
terested we will be glad to mail each
copy of this publication"

FREE SPEECH BARRED AT

m HE trustees of the Univer-
W sity of Pennsylvania want
it to be plainly under
stood everywhere that freedom
Of speech on the part of men,
bers Of the teaching staff is
barred in that institution. 1t is
a form of crime which they
cannot adequately punish. In
the circumstances, the best
they are able to do is to dis
miss summarily an offender of
the character of DR.. Scott Near

his conduct relieves him of any
claim to decent treatment. A
man so base as to express views
against the exploitation of
child labor and other forms of /
industrial injustice cannot be
permitted to associate with /

UNALIENABLE RIGHTS AND
DUTIES

<<NN<NE hold these truths to
0 be self evident; that
all men are created
equal; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"
These noble sentiments
formed the basis of the revo-
lutionary belief; it was for
these principles our grandsires
fought for seven years it was
upon this foundation they form
ed the first great republic Of
the world.
The patriot today as then is
he who upholds the American
doctrine Of equality and JUS
tee. In some respects this ideal
is nearer to fulfillment today
than in l776. In some other
respects the goal is still far dis
tant.
But the principle is just as
true as ever and it will never
perish. The theory that jus
tice shall govern the world en-
bodies the principle that men
have certain rights of which
they cannot be deprived save
by perversion Of natural laws.
Along with our unalienable
rights every man and every
woman is under certain obliga-
tions Of duty that cannot be
overlooked save with dishonor.
II is obligatory on every citizen
TO stand firm and true for jus
tice, freedom and the progress
of humanity.
Under our government these
principles are fully recognized
but not always realized. The
duty OF citizenship is to put the
