Several citizens appeared before the

ALMOST A COLD BATH.

Chas. F. Sigrist, of this place, his
brother, l.. M. Sigrist, Of Antwyne, and
Albert Judd of Loomis, had a narrow
escape from cold, clammy, death, last
Friday. Mr.. Sigrist had occasion to go
to Loomis on that date, and drove
down to Tonasket, where he was join
ed by his brother. Albert Judd was at
Tonasket on his way home from Seat
tie and Mr.. Sigrist accommodatingly
made room for him in the sleigh. When
they reached Spectacle lake, long,
double lake short distance east CT
Loomis, they decided to take to the
ice as easier going than the county
road. When near the dividing point In
the lake, which is narrow channel Of
water, and travelling at a lively pace,
the horses suddenly disappeared from
sight A hole was broken In the ice
just large enough to let the horses
through and the sleigh stopped on
the very edge of the hole. Mr.. Charles
Sigrist and Mr.. Judd leaped out and
detached the tugs, and as the Ice was
firm Immediately around the edge Of
the hole the horses were able to
scramble out. Within three minutes
from the time the horses broke through
the ice the animals were again har-
messed to the sleigh and the travellers
on the way to their destination, but
they took to the highway in prefernce
to running any more chances Of an
other accident.
The ice in Spectacle lake is very
The lake freezes every
winter and bold spirits think nothing
Of making it speedway, driving to or
from Loomis. But it is never entirely
safe, no matter how cold the weather,
for there appears to be springs in the
lake, and wherever they occur the ice
Is thin. In past years number of acct
dents have occurred similar to the one
fortunately without loss Of
life. But that immunity cannot cen
tiuue always, and a fatal accident may
happen any winter if people continue
to use the surface of the long stretch
of Ice highway.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

The Mendelssohn Sextette, one Of
the features Of lyceum bureau that
has been playing several towns in the
valley this winter, gave an entertain
ment in the Orpehum Tuesday evening
under rather peculiar circumstances
The troupe was billed at Nelson Monday
evening, and from there was to jump
to Tonasket for Wednesday evening.
That left Tuesday an open date, and it
was decided to give a concert at Oro-
Vile Tuesday evening. This conclu-
sion was not reached until about noon
Monday, and then there was no time
to advertise the coming attraction.
Word was sent out over the telephone
that the concert was to take place, and
the fact was not generally known in
the community. To further interfere
with the getting out of an audience one
OF the worst snow storms of the season
was raging early Tuesday evening, and
the train upon which the troupe was to
arrive was an hour late, not arriving
here until about 9 o'clock. Yet, for all
those drawbacks quite a number OF
people braved the elements and turned
out. They were we'll repaid, and those
who were present would attend an
other entertainment by the same
troupe were the weather ten fold more
disagreeable. The company is made up
of six young ladies, who are artists on
the several instruments which they
play. AS vocalists, they are not prima
donas, but their catchy songs are very
pleasing. AS whole it was one of the
most delightful entertainments ever
given in Oroville, which is the opinion
of all present, and if the troupe should
ever return crowded house is as
sured

STOCK ASSOCIATION.

Supervisor G. C. Reed, of the Col
Vile National Forest, assisted by
Deputy Supervisor l.. E. McDaniels, Of
the Okanogan National Forest, have
during the past week organized two
cattle and horse associations on the
north half, one at Wauconda, with
membership Of 26, and one at Mount
Hull, with a membership of %. The
one at Mount Hull will have a much
larger membership, as the election of
permanent officers and the adoption
of several important resolutions was
held over until the next meeting which
will be held at Mount Hull Grange hall
Sunday, February 13. The stock men
of the Anglin district have requested
the Forest officers to meet with them
and assist in forming an organization
in that section. The Forest officers
were accompanied on their trip
through the north half by County Ag-
riculturalist Hughes, who addressed
the stock men on the subject of "Vac-
cination as a means of preventing
blackleg," and in other ways assisted
in making the meeting a success.

THE NEED FOR BETTER SIRES

The average farmer pays little at
tention to the sircs which he uses on
his flocks and herds. To pay more
than $1OO for a bull or $40 for ram
or boar seems to him an entire waste
of money. If people could only be
brought to realize that on an average
every beef animal sired by pure bred
bulls will bring 1T least $40 a head
more than the one from scrub breed
ing; that every well bred lamb will
no doubt bring from soc to $100 more
than the one of scrub origin; that
pure bred hogs always top the mar
ket If they would think they would
realize that the extra money spent
for registered sires is the best invest
ment they ever made.
At the recent combination of breed

| ing stock handled at the Union stock
yards during the Pacific International
Livestock Exposition, breeding cattle
averaged around $275.00 head. One
of the breeders present stated that the
cheapest bull that he over bought COST
him $4,000, for, as calf, and that this
one animal had made his name famous
as breeder. This expression was
echoed by many of the breeders
present, all of whom at different
times had paid large prices for herd
headers.
Under the present law In the state
Of Oregon, it is unlawful to allow
scrub bulls of beef breed to run at
large OH the range, there being a
heavy fine for this misdemeanor. II
livestock men could realize their own
first interests, as served by the use of
pure bred sires there would be no
need for such law.
1t was recently estimated by one
who makes close study Of such prob
over 25 per cent would have been
handled by the railroads coming into
this section, had pure bred sires been
used altogether. In many instances
large cattle men have been using
good blood for many years, but 1t
is the small farmer who jungles
things by his reckless use of the
scrub
1t should be the busln -ss OF every
progressive livestock man who has
the interests of the industry at heart
to inform the proper local authori-
ties of the evasion by anybody of this
law regarding the running at large
of scrub sires, particularly bulls.

PALMER MOUNTAIN NOTES.

Judging from the amount Of smoke
arising from near the ice house, we
are Of the opinion that the boys are
getting up some ice.
The many friends of Joe Ley, who
has been on the sick list, will be pleas
ed to learn of his daily improvement,
and we hope to soon see him about his
usual employment.
Clint Sanford, who Is employed at
the Ivanhoe mine, has moved his fam
lily from Palmer mountain to vacant
house at the Bert Champney ranch.
DR.. Elmer Of Oroville was visitor
at the Ivanhoe Thursday.
Mr.. Buckles, formerly of Oroville,
has purchased 20 acres Of the Norris
ranch, better known as the Pitman
place, III the Cove, and VIII occupy tie
Jordon house. which Is situated on the
south end of the land.
The many men employed by the
Ivanhoe are storing vast amount of
ice, getting the summer supply of
wood from the mountains, and erecting
several new buildings at the mine
during the past week.
Mr.. Green, who has SO faithfully held
his position of cook at the Ivanhoe
mine for the past three years, has been
on the sick list for a week, having had
to secure an assistant until he is again
able to resume his duties.
We are having some very cold
weather here since the spring bluff has
passed, it being 10 below zero on Mon
day morning. No wonder that the boys
would prefer the summer time iE
which to store ice. The use Of sled
does not look so out of place as it ap-
peared at this time last week.

made everybody feel happier and GER
tainly inculcated the boosting spirit.
He maintained that happiness is es-
sential to true boosting spirit and
that boosting for the Okanogan Valley
stands the test Of true boosting, for it
must be done in happy spirit and by
a happy man for the purpose of bring
ing happiness to others. He quoted
from the dairy of tho first voyageur
who came into the Okanogan valley
105 years ago. This quotation was in
flowery language and showed that the
art of boosting Is not all confined to
modern times. However, Mr.. Britain
out voyaged the old voyageur when
he described the Okanogan Valley as
he, in vision saw it. The talk Of Mr.
Brattain was happy climax of
successful meeting.

January, 1916, will go down in the
annals of local history as one Of the
cold periods that has had few paral-
lels. With the exception Of two days
when a chinook got in its work the
mercury has constantly lowered in the
neighborhood of zero, and to add to
the discomforture of the chill, wind
constantly whooped it up out of the
north, and a north wind in the winter
through this valley Is something to
be dreaded.
