MINING DEAL.

On March 9Th Fred T. Neal turned
over to Seattle parties the Standard
mining claims, located six miles south
west of Tonasket. This property has
had considerable prominence on ac-
count of the chief metal contained be-
ing tungsten. While very little devel-
opment work has ben done, the surface
indications and outcroppings show ev-
cry indication of strong body of ore.
The property was examined by Prof.
F. NJ Handy, assistant professor of
geology at Washington state college,
during the summer of 1915, and is the
subject of an article contained in bule-
tin No. 100. entitled "An Investigation
of the Meneral Deposits of Northern
Okanogan County"
While Mr.. Neal did not divulge the
terms of the contract, he stated that
the contracting parties had started
work and would continue until they
had demonstrated fully the extent and
value of the deposits.

BASKET BALL AVERAGE.

Prof. Davis hands in the following
on the subject of basket ball average
for the season:
In the county series Oroville has
played seven games, three on her own
floor and four on her opponents floors,
and has won four out of the seven,
giving her 81 II per cent. Okanogan
has played six games, thre on her own
floor and three on her opponents floor,
and has won three out of the six, Civ
ing her so per cent. Conconully has
played three games, two on her own
floor and once her-epponent'srfloor
and has won two out of the three, CIV
ing her 66 23 per cent. Although Con-
conully has the best percentage. her
schedule is so narrow that she has not
very clear title to the championship.
If COncOnully has the best team in the
county as her record indicates, she
should meet OrOville on the local floor
and make her title clear The follow
ing is suggested as an all-county bas-
ket ball team: Bains, Conconully, for
ward; McMahan. Oroville, forward; /;
Robinson, Conconully, center; Shearer
Okanogan, guard; Cole, Oroville,
guard. Subs-Herrick, Conconully, for
ward; Graham, Okanogan, guard

VIOLENT EXPLOSION,

Early last Friday morning many of
the residents of Orovile were awaken
ed by terrific explosion, but as
there was no further alarm the mo-
mentary excitement subsided and
there was much speculation as to the
cause. Upon investigation it was ascer-
tanned that an acetylene generator at
tached to one of the passenger cars
on the Oroville-W -Wenatchee train had
exploded. 1t appears that VIM. Colillo,
an Italian section hand filled the gene
rator with carbides, as is his practice.
but in this instance he forgot to turn
on the stopcock connecting the gene
rator with the storage tank. In conse-
quence of this neglect the accumulat-
ed gas burst the generator, causing
the terrific explosion. Colillo was
propelled some distance by the force
of the explosion and was considerably
bruised and shaken up. A physician
was at once called, and on eXamina-
ton it was found that Colillo had es-
capped without serious injury and was
laid up for only few days. Little
damage was done to the car.

CHANGE IN PRICES,

Geo. Bartell, county agent for the
Studebaker cars, has received notice
from the factory of an advance in
prices since the first of March. Under
the new price list four cylinder tour
ing cars, passenger, have been ad-
vanced from $S45 to 1915; roadsters,
3 passengers, from 1925 to $3.50. Six
cylindar touring cars, Z passenger,
from $1O50 to $10S5; roadsters, pas
senger from $1O25 to $1,000. This ad-
vance has been made necessary by a
sharp advance in the price of materials
entering into the construction of the
cars. There were two courses open to
the manufacturer, to meet this advance
by slightly increasing the price of the
car, or reduce the quality Of the car
The Studebakers are strictly for quail
ity, and decided it would be more sat
isfactOry to the investing public to re-
tain the quality and make the small
advance in original cost, hence the
change of prices at this time.

TAME ELECTION.

The school election Saturday was
one of the tamest that has ever been
held in Oroville. When you lcok back
over the past you can recall school
elections that We're more exciting than
presidential elections, when feeling
ran Sky high and strenuous efforts
made to get out every vote in the dis
trict, legal or otherwise. One would
have thought from the agitation that
the very life of the nation depended
upon the election OF certain candidates
for an office that most men would run
their legs off trying to escape. Satur-
day a holy calm brooded over the
school house, where the election was
held. Few bucked the hill to exercise
their franchise Apathy ruled supreme
Il is not known exactly how many
votes were cast, eleven or seventeen
according to the variations in the re-
ports reaching this office. So far as
the number is concerned is a matter
of Indifference, however, as they all
went one way, and Tom Collier was
the victim, being chosen to succeed
himself. The result indicates that
the public is satisfied with Mr.. Coll
ier's record in the office.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

1t was another very enjoyable, in
teresting session that the Commercial
IClub held last Thursday evening in the
dining room of the Hotel de Grubb, at
which luncheon was the attraction
that drew out fully as large crowd
rs attended the initial luncheon at
the same place just two weeks before.
On account of the very unfavorable
weather small attendance was eX
pc cted, but our citizens demonstrated
| their growing interest in the Club
meetings by Drawing the storm. In a
town of this size, when between 70
and so of the residents turn out to
lpubilc meeting of this kind it can be
| depended upon that about every busi-
ness interest in the place is represent
! ed. Such was the case last Thursday
eve ming, and seldom has happier or
better pleased lot of citizens gathered
to gather in Oroville.
According to the program as arrang-
cd prior to the giving of these lGn-
cheons the Radbourne hotel was Sc
lected, and the selection was made by
lot, for the second luncheon, but owing
to some accident to the water supply
at the Radbourno the luncheon at that
place had to be cancelled. +. n. Grubb
was not notified until late ThursdaT
that he would be expected to provide
the evening meal but he was equal
to the emergency, and an excellent
and bountiful luncheon was supplied.
Again the orchestra of six pieces, that
made such favorable hit on the oc-
casion of its first appearance, was
present, and the musical feature could
not have been eXcelled.
During the evening interesting ad-
dresses we're delivered by Rev. w. w.
Strife, of the M. e. church, Rufus
Woods, manager of the Wenatchee
World and Thos. N. O'Neil, who is so
actively engaged in boosting for a dis
trict fair. 7
Some routine business was trans
acted and work was assigned to sew
eral committees. Funds are to be rails
cd to send a representative to Wash
irgton if found necessary, to urge the
passage of a bill pending in congress
providing for an appropriation to be
applied to paying just proportion of
|the expense of constructing the West,
Okanogan Valley Irrigation system for
lands held in the Indian allotments
under the project. The duty of collect
ing the amount required was referred
to the finance committee. On motion
the president was instructed to ap-
point committee to represent the
Club at the fair meeting to be held in
the Odd Fellows hall Saturday of this
week. The entertainment committee
reported that plans are being made
for an entertainment to be given in
the Orpheum during the present month
and that the next luncheon would be
held at the Radbourne hotel. A sug-
gestion was made and favorably con-
sidercd that if the U. S. land office Is
to be moved to Okanogan county, an
effort should be made to Sc .ure the
same for Oroville. A motion prevailed
lnat the ministers of the town be m
wed to join the club, and were to be
rdmitted to membership without
charge Prof. Davis asked the support
of the club in securing the county in
terscholastic athletic meet for this
year, and the matter was referred to
la committee with power to act.

MISSIONARY WORK.

l.. l.. Work, of this place, does much
travelling over the country on business
bent, and he never loses an opportuni-
ty to get in a good word for the Okla
hogan country. Mr.. Work has been
more active in spreading the gospel of
Okanogan than any other one resident
of the county, largely owing to the op-
ing to note that he is so loyal to the
country in which he has made his
home for so many years. Saturday
there was large meeting of farmers
and dairymen held at Bellingham, at
which 8Prof. Thomas Shaw was the
chief speaker Among others deliver
ing addresses was Mr.. Work, and he
expatiated upon the big irrigation sys-
tenn just about completed in Okanogan
county, and invited all who wished to
secure homes to come over and inves-
tigate.$ 1t is getting out among farmers
what there is here in the way of land
and opportunity that will help fill up
the country. Mr.. Work also spoke be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce of Bel
lingham, and the Daily Herald thus
mentions the address briefly:
eds 81. l.. Work, the accredited repre-
sentative of the Okanogan irrigation
district, was present and spoke Mr..
Work told the meeting that it was the
intention of the Okanogan farmers to
make Bellingham their water terminus
and his purpose in coming to Belling-
ham was to acquaint bellingham mer-
chants and business men of this fact
in order that a stronger bond of COM
mon interest might be cemented"

SCOOPED.

The local high school basket ball
team met it's Waterloo at Ckanogan
last Friday night when Okanogan
scGttled the visitors by score of AZ
to 2S. 1t was the largest score of the
season, taken all around, and conse-
quently the poorest game. Oroville has
defeated Okanogan twice, and Okla
hogan has turned the tables on Oro-
Vile twice. so honors are even. Both
teams won their games on their home
floor. The Okanogan floor space is
much larger than that of Oroville. The
Oroville boys were lost when it came
to covering more territory than they
are used to. Taking the season
through, counting all the games play
ed and won, the Oroville boys are far
in the lead over all opponents. They
have won two each from Republic,
Nelson and Okanogan, and dropped
two to Okanogan, and Conconully fiim-
flammed them out of another. Taken
all in all the record for the season Is
a very creditable one
