A movement is on foot to organize
base ball league for next summer COM
posed of clubs from Omak, Okanogan,
Brewster and Bridgeport. What is the
matter of organizing a north Okanog-
an county league composed of teams
from Riverside, Tonasket, Oroville and

Never during the past twenty years
have the democrats Of this county
made such a thorough campaign as
they did this year. Candidates and ac-
tive members of the party worked
night and day, searching the county

| Clair Hunt who was alloting agent
on the diminished Colville Indian res
|ervation until the work Of allotment
twas completed, was in Oroville over
last Friday night, having accompanied
Senator Poindexter on his trip from
Republic. Hr Hunt is not the robust
man that he was when we first knew
him nearly third of a century ago,
but his health is much improved over
what it was a few years ago. Although
physically, he may not be up to the
standard of old days, his spirit is just
as indomitable, and his natural gen.
aIitv has never suffered from Ill health.
Senator Miles Poindexter wound
ND the campaign in Oroville last Friday
evening when he spoke to large and
enthusiastic crowd at the Orpheum.
The campaign has passed into history,
and any reference to it at this time is
of no moment, yet it can be said that
these nator made forceful ad'
dress and a very favorable impression
among those of the republican faith by
his able advocacy of the entire repub-
lican ticket, and his courteous treat
ment of all opposition candidates He
proved conclusively that Congressman
/ Dill had nothing whatever to do with
securing that $4,000 appropriation for
payment of water rights for Indian
lands under the West Okanogcn Valley
Irrigation system, and really very lit
tie to do, excepting making claims and
noise with the Colville reservation
j opening.
