 The court recommended that expert ments with the batteries be contin ued, the submarine being used as a laboratory for this work.

AN UNPROFITABLE BUY.

The following is an interesting hard
luck story that Jimmie Jackson. of this
place, spelled off to reporter Of the
Spokesman-Review the other day:
A. J. Jackson, stockman of Oroville,
who is at the Pacific after bringing
carload of hogs from the Okanogan
country to Carstens Packing company,
to whom he sold his hogs at from 7
cents to Z IL cents per pound, live
weight, had an unfortunate experience
three weeks ago. He wanted to ship a
carload of hogs from Nelson to Seattle,
but owing to the storm conditions pre-
vailing the Great Northern railroad Of
ficials kept him waiting at Molson ten
days before they would accept the ship
ment. When he did get started the big
snowslide in the Cascades blocked the
line completely and he was compelled
to unload and feed his stock at We
natchee. Finding in four days that the
prospect of getting through to the
coast was worse than it was when he
started, he shipped his hogs back here
and sold them. He had been 10 days
on the road altogether, SO that the ex-
pense for feeding made the trip highly
Improbable.

Orchard tracts, and returns on the
west side of the river. The same car
rier is expected to handle both routes,
covering No. 1 one day and No. 2 the
next. This service Is to commence on
the 1st day Of May. People living along
these routes who desire to be served
by carrier are expected to have their
boxes in place by the Goth of April.
There is one condition upon which the
continuation of these routes depend,
and that Is, there must be at least 70
families served on each route. If the
number falls below IS the service will
be suspended, and it Is presumed il one
route fails in providing the necessary
number Of families both routes will be
cut off. Now 1t Is up to those interested
in and anxious to have these rural de-
livery routes established and main
tained to exert every effort to obtain
rs patrons. 1t Is understood that

touch Of the route, comes under the
head Of family" These routes will be
a great convenience to a great many
people who now have to come a long
distance to town for their mail. and
hence cannot make the trip often

RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION

The United States Civil Service COM
mission has announced an examina-
tion for the county of Okanogan, Wash
to be held at Okanogan, on March II,
1916, to fill the position of rural carrier
at Oroville and vacancies that may
later occur on rural routes from other
post offices in the above mentioned
county. The examination will be open
only to male citizens who are actually
domiciled in the territory of post Of
flee in the county and who meet the
other requirements set forth in form
No. 1877. This form and application
blanks may be obtained from the Off
ces mentioned above or from the U.
S. Civil Service commission at Wash
ington, d. c. Applications should be
forwarded to the Commissioner at
Washington at the earliest practical
date.
The above examination is for the
purpose of securing a rural mail car
rier to take charge of two mail routes
running out of Oroville, which are to
be served on alternate days. No route
extends up into the Ellemeham country
the carrier going up the hill by the old
Wanicut and Loomis road and return
ing by the new road that comes in by

DISLOCATING CALCULATIONS.

The repeated disruption of train SER
vice on the branch this winter has
knocked the plans of public gatherings
at Okanogan into a cooked hat more
than once, to the disappointment Of
the public at large as well as the
residents of the county seat. The for
NAL opening of the court house, which
would have witnessed the largest
crowd ever collected in Okanogan had
weather conditions proved favorable,
was a frost on account of blizzard
that blocked both the county roads
and the railway. Tuesday of this week
those interested in the proposition to
change the road district system, and
there were many such, expected to
meet with the county commissioners,
and another blockade of the railroad
prevented the people from reaching
the county seat. Quite delegation ex-
pected to go down from this place. 1t
is a case of man proposing and God
disposing. All further gatherings at
Okanogan should be postponed until
after the going of the snow and the
substance of high water that is GER
tain to follow the hard winter.

A NEW INDUSTRY,

s. Gjerde recently purchased l.. w.
Barnes pea nut stand and candy en-
porium, on the south side of the rail-
road track, and has overhauled and re-
fitted the interior to meet the require
ments of his business. Mr. Gjerde has
developed new industry in Oroville,
one which we trust to see grow to
large importance and from which the
proprietor will profit largely. Mr..
Gjerde is a practical and experienced
candy maker, and his commodities,
that take all of the popular candy
forms, are equal in every respect to
those manufactured in the larger
cities, because he knows how to make
them with taste that appeals to the
sweet tooth. There is no reason why
he should not supply the entire trade
of the county in time. We are not an
authority on pronunciation and cannot
give you the straight tip as to the
enunciation of Mr.. Gjerde's name, but
We can testify to the superiority of
his candies, and feel safe in saying
that there is none better in the market,
and what adds to the pleasure of the
taste is that the product is home manu-

A TWO TIMES LOSER.

the Oroville high school basket ball
team that left here last Thursday

icnce. and the boys did not even have
the satisfactory glow of victory to
compensate them in some degree for
the hardships they encountered.

Bair, Lawrence Dallam and Frank
Ford, in charge of Prof. w. Leonard
Davis, left Oroville on the delayed
train that pulled out about noon
Thursday. Reaching Okanogan about

A CRIPPLED SERVICE.

The fresh storms of last week put
the finishing touches on the paralysis
of transportation. Heavy snow fall and
accompanying slides had already de-
moralized traffic, and the new invoice
heavier than any proceeding one, fairly
demoralized and discouraged the rail-
road officials. Train service on the
main line during the past week was
all gummed up. When train did man
age to start out it was never known
just how far it would go. 1t was a
situation to set the officials fairly era
zy. The blockade has worked great
hardship on the travelling and shipping
public, but the railroads cannot be
held responsible for an interposition
of Providence. 1t is the most serious
elemental disturbance for years, and
no foresight could have averted the
trouble that has been confronting
transportation companies since the be-
ginning of the new year. The protract-
ed tie up has cost the railroads an
enormous amount Of money directly, to
say nothing of the loss of business.
Every means at the command of the
railroad people have been enlisted to
keep the tracks clear and trains run
ming somewhere near on time.
The -Wenatchee branch has
been hard hit as we'll as the main lines.
So much snow has fallen in the south
part of the county, accompanied by
winds, that the task of keeping the
track clear has been beyond power of
the force engaged, or any force that
might be engaged for that matter. For
weeks there has been no certainty rel
ative to service on the branch. The
last train pulling out of Oroville last
week was the one that left here on
Thursday, about noon. and it met with
many difficulties reaching Wenatchee.
There was not another train over the
line up to the time this paper goes to
press. The worst feature of the situa-
ton is that the company has been CON-
PEELED to return to the old schedule of
three mixed trains week over the
branch, and if the winter does not let
up pretty soon even that now and then
service may be reduced to even fewer
runs. The new arrangement, or return
to the old order of things, was made
necessary by shortage of fuel oil,
which is supplied from the coast, and
is said to be only temporary. However,
las floods can naturally be expected to

THROWN ON THIS COUNTY.

Last Thursday evening Blanche
Barnett. alleged to have been sport
ing woman, arrived on the Princeton
train from Hedley, almost at the point
of death. She came through on a
stretcher. None of the doctors here
were notified of her coming, but Dr.
Lewis was summoned upon her arri-
val. The stricken woman was taken to
ST. Joseph's hospital, and upon exam
ination the doctor found that the pa
tient was suffering from dropsy of
the heart, pronouncing the case hope
less. Everything was done for her
that was possible both as to treat
ment and attention, but she died Sat-
urday morning. The remains were
turned over to Undertaken Barnes, and
the body is still at the undertaking
parlors awaiting the action of the
county authorities as to it's disposition.
The case is one in which the provin-
cial authorities at Hedley are held re-
sponsible for throwing upon this coun-
ty. The patient was accompanied to
Oroville by one of the girls attached
to the house with which the dead wo-
man was connected. According to the
statements made by her the deceased
had been a sufferer from the ailment
that proved fatal for the past two
years. Her condition becoming alarm
ing, she was shipped to the hospital at
this place. The woman had only some
$40 when she left home, but consider
able baggage, some of which is held by
the customs officer at Chopaka. The
girl accompanied the invalid to the
train with no intention of coming to
Oroville, but the constable at Hedley
insisted upon her making the trip, and
secured her ticket for that purpose
The girl returned to Hedley Saturday
morning. The afflicted woman stated
that she had a husband who was at
Rossland the last time she heard from
him and the immigration officers at
this place made every effort to get in
communication with him by wire with
out success. The official at Hedley is
roundly denounced for being party
to the removal of the woman from
British Columbia into this state in the
condition that she was when placed
upon the train.

THE IvANHOE MINE PROVING TO
BE vERITABLE TREASURE BOX
ANOTHER FINE LEDGE cur
Important Improvements in Contom.
platiOn that Will Put New Life
In Mining Industry.

Word was received at Oroville from
the Ivanhoe Wednesday, by telephone,
that the workmen had just broken in
to another fine. strong ledge of ore,
similar in character to that already
encountered in the tunnel, which
means that the ore is highly mineral
lied and carries good values. This
strike Is about 100 feet beyond the
last ledge encountered. and goes to
show that there are numerous paral-
lei veins on the Ivanhoe group. Before
this last strike, the Ivanhoe was al
ready mine In every sense of the
word, with enough ore in sight to keep
"a large treatment plant in operation
indefinitely. This new strike is merely
a matter of gliding refined gold, ad-
ding value to an already very valuable
proposition in the way of a real mine.
All this ore Is cut 1T vertical depth
of 1000 feet, which means an enor-
nous tonnage of ore above to stope
out, with probably a greater tonnage
beneath. This discovery in the Ivanhoe
after two years spent in steady devel-
opment work has established beyond
all further cavil the mining possibili-
ties and wealth of this upper country,
and will have great influence In re-
rewing confidence and activity in the
Okanogan properties.
1t is learned that w. B. McChesney
to whose indomnitable energy and bull
dog persistency is due the happy re-
suits in the Ivanhoe mine, is to estab-
lish his office at Nighthawk for the
next two months at least, so as to be
on the railroad and in position to
carry on business connected with the
mining operations and have charge of
other improvements in contemplation
tc the very best advantage. There Is
every reason to believe that these con-
templated improvements include the
building of spur from the railroad
near Indian Edwards place, to the
mine, and the erection of large treat
ment plant on Palmer lake, both of
which will be necessary in order to
make the Ivanhoe payer.
Besides the underground work In
progress at the mine an assay office
has been erected, equipped with COM
plete assaying outfit and will be in
charge of capable assayer. This is a
necessary feature at this stage of the
proceedings in order that the manage
ment may have correct knowledge of
the values in the ores extracted.

A SERIOUS TIE.UP.

The first train through from We
natchee since Wednesday night of last
week arrived Wednesday night of this
week Snow was not alone the cause
OF this long delay in service. A train
started from Wenatchee Monday, but
just south of Malott the rails spread
and the train was thrown into the
ditch. Fortunately nc one was injured.
Working crews had to be sent up from
Wenatchee and it was not until We'd
nesday morning that the train was got
back on the rails. There were 81 pas
scngers on the train when it was STALL
ed and they were taken back to We
natchee. The train pulled out south
Thursday morning, but as more snow
had fallen Wednesday night it is very
doubtful If 1t reaches it's destination.
