Word was received here Tuesday
evening in advance of the daily pa
pers announcing that Lord Kitchner,
head of the military forces of England,
and all of his staff, fell victims to a
German submarine that day, creating
great sensation. That is the chances

the same chances as the private in
the ranks.
1t seems as though half of the popu-
lation of Oroville went to Tonasket
Thursday morning to assist in the
celebration at that place. 1t was the
proper spirit to display. The two towns
are neighbors, working together, pull
ing together, with interests in CON-
mon. and a neighborly feeling prevail
ing. We are speaking for this end of
the district and believe we are ex-
pressing the prevailing sentiment.

L. W. Thatcher of Spokane, repre-

fallen into very desirable hands.
