There was a very narrow escape last
Thursday evening during the progress OF
the basket ball game from a very serious
accident There is a solidly built rail IN
front of the balcony at the gym, but the
great audience, in it's excitement ana
eagerness to see every movement OF the
players, pressed so forcibly against TINS
| railing that it gave way with an ominous
| crash and a score of men and women
narrowly escaped being precipitated to
! the concrete floor dozen feet below
| The accident threw n momentary scare
into those who came so near supplying
| broken heads and shattered bones, but
| the game did not stop for an instant ana
the balcony onlookers forgot their narrow
| squeak in the joy over seeing their raw
ortes win.
| Recently the capital stock of the To-
| nasket -four mill company was increas-
| ed. presumably to provide betterments
for an already well equipped grist mill.
| The Tonasket flour mill is II home in
| sttution that deserves the patronage and
support of the county round about. 1t
has provided a mari ct for grain at
| time when there was little market in the
| county, besides turning out superior
| brand of flour that should have place
in every household. That man Schwei-
| kert, head of the establishment has
| worked constantly and consistently for
| several years building up first-class
| plant. and his success is demonstrated in
the quality of the ingredients of the staff
| OF life that the mill is turning out and
it's increased production. May Mr.. Sch
| wekert live to see his mill ten times its
present capacity and more too.
II. V. Mccormick, who for time had
| charge of work in progress on the main
adit that is being driven into the noun
| tains at the Golden Zen mine, near Cho
paka, and one of the oldest partially de
lveloped mining holdings in northern Okla
Inogan county, spent tome time in Oro
vile during the past week. Mr.. McCor
mick is not theoretical miner. His
knowledge of mining and minerals has
Experience, behind the drill, under ground
doing the things, supervising the do
ing of things, that enter into mine MAX
ing. The opinion of such men, when
based on the results of inspection, is of
more value than that of the professional
expert and comes nearer carrying con-
viction than the evidence of the so called
expert. Mr. Mccormick feels satisfied in
his own mind from The observations he
has been able to make that the Golden
Zone is the making of a big mine. Let us
who have waited so long in this upper
| country for the development of real
| mine. and have had our expectations so
often dashed through reasons not wholly
| attributable to the barrenness of the
properties worked, pray fervently that
wisdom will guide the ruling hand in
ialize that Mr.. Mccormick is so certain
could be made under process of proper
development.
