play return game in this place, feels
agrieved at the charges made by the
Oroville paper that the Conconully
referee and time keeper stole the game
from Oroville, played at Conconully.
There is no wish on the part of this
paper to mistate the manner in which
the Oroville boys were treated at Con-
concully, but the charge made by this
paper was based upon statements
openly made by pupils of the Concon-
July schools who witnessed the game.
The local team is doing no kicking,
and considering the hardships they
had to undergo in order to reach Con-
conully in the dead of the hardest
winter on record it is only astonishing
that the boys could have made any
showing in the game at all. Had they
lost on the dead square under the cir
cumstances any kind of score would
have been to their credit.
Maj. Geo. Beal was visitor in Oro-
vile Saturday for the first time in
many moons. The major has had hard
winter, like the balance of humanity,
but it was particularly tough for the
major for he had lot of trouble mixed
in with the elemental fluctuations. He
spent much of the winter trying to get
the best of severe and lingering at
tack of sickness, and on top of that
affliction his residence was DESTROYED
by fire, and he had such a narrow
escape of sharing the fate of the build
ing that he found himself out in the
snow with very little more than a
shirt between his skin and the weather.
The major says that he never realized
how cold snow is until he was COM
PEELED to trot to the nearest neighbor
in his bare feet through foot or two
of the immaculate. However his rocky
experience did not leave him with a
perpetual crouch, for the major is
now feeling fit and carries around his
old time genial smile.

the prohibition law went into effect
that any trouble has grown out of the
violation of that law in this place, at
least so far as to be generally notice.
able. There has been drinking, I'M
coubtedly, for the place had its con-
tingent OF more or less regular boozers
and no law was ever passed under the
sun that changed the appetites or the
morals of men. But heretofore, what
ever tipping has been INDUCED in has
been under cover. At the dance last
Friday night there was much absorp-
ton of the tabooed stuff, and emphatic
land frequent denunciations of the act
have been heard upon the streets. The
band boys were not responsible for
this condition, and would have pre-
vented it if in their power. Indeed, the
marshal, member of the band, made
an effort to locate the person, or per-
sons guilty of bringing liquor upon the
premises. 1t is to be hoped that never
again will the presence of liquor be
noticeable at public dance in Oroville.

spect will refuse to attend such func-
| tons. 1t may be said in this connect

arrested and convicted of taking liquor

ceive the extreme penalty of the law,

day. The young men have started an
establishment at TOnasket for the
manufacture of irrigation and sewer
pipe, cement, brick, fence posts and
other articles in which cement cOnsti-
tutes the chief constituent. They know
the business and will manufacture a
line of wares that will stand inspection
and practical use after inspection.
Considering the extent of contingent
territory the young men should in a
very short time work up large bust
ness, for there should be large de-
mand for that class of goods, especially
in the way Of pipe for irrigation pur-
poses.
The pungent odor of smoke perme-
ates the atmosphere, indicative of the
regular spring cleanup campaign.
The town authorities have filled up
the cuts on the graded streets with
rock, and this, together with the dis
appearance of the mud, has put the
streets in much better condition.
If that district fair goes, and it is
going sure as the evolution of time,

Last Friday morning as Geo. Earhart
was leading his horses to water the
animals displayed an unusual spirit of
playfulness, and in the exuberance of
their antics one of them handed Mr..
Earhart vicious kick in the face,
cutting severe cash over the right
eye. Dr.Lewis plastered up the wounds
and Mr.. Earhart suffered no more in
convenience than carrying his head in
sling fo- several days.
Pete Flanagan, the we'll known
Loomis miner, was in town Friday
last on his way to his ranch in Horse
Springs coulee, after having been at
work at the United Copper mine at
Chewelah for the past several weeks.
He reported that half the force in the
mine had been laid off, and he was
one among the number that received a
vacation. He will try farming until he
again gets a chance to handle a power
drill.
r. w. Starr, chairman of the demo-

convention, to be held at Okanogan,

our neighbors should awaken pre-
caution among the people of this place.
Fire is no respecter of localities. Any
old minute Oroville may take the
schorching it has so long and fortu-
nately escaped. No place is immune
when it comes to conflagrations, and
no man knoweth where the red demon
may break out next. 1t is just as we'll
to be vigilant, as one fire prevented is
better than dozen extinguished after
a start.
Herbert Silvernail has been assign
ed to duty as brakeman on the Prince

able to 60 to work since his accident
some weeks ago, when large chunk
of coal fell from chute and cracked
him on the Uranium. Those who know
the young man trusts that he has
shaken off the hoodoo that has made
him the victim of so many accidents,
for much of his time in the past few
years has been spent in the hospital
getting over the effects of injuries
sustained while in the employment of
the railroad.

MAKING "GOAT"
OF THE GUARD
Friends Of Organization Believe Men
VIII Become Dissatisfied with
Service.

Friends Of the national guard at
Des Mcines are declaring that the war
department at Washington, through
the Influence of the regular army, Is
setting about to make the national
guard SO unpopular with those who
are members Of It that once out they
VIII not go into the service again. It
,s Claimed that this is one of the most
effective ways Of killing OF the guard
and thus giving the whole army field
TO the regular army.
The latest move here in Iowa bring.
Ing the cavalrymen who refused to
take the federal oath to Fort Des
Moines and requiring them to do SER
vice down on the border regardless OF
whether they take the federal oath or
not Is cited as further evidence on the
part of the war department to make
tne guard unpopular. Then the small
pay given the men, the failure to pro-
vide transportation for them back
home when mustered out or honorably
discharged down at Brownsville, their
failure to equip the guard in anything
Ike an adequate manner, these are
some Of the things, guardsmen say,
which will kill the guard. Loyal and
patriotic young men do not like this
sort Of treatment. Neither do they
wish to become professional soldiers
and give up their LIES occupations.
Practically all OF the members Of
troops A, B, G and D who refused to
take the federal oath and did not
therefore go to the border, have reach
ed Fort Des Moines in response to the
call of the war department announced
yesterday. The troopers will be equip.
ped at Fort Des Moines and given n
little preliminary training and will
then be sent to the border, according
to present plans.
lnasmuch as they have not taken
the federal oath, the men can't be
sent into Mexico but the government
can compel them to serve anywhere
IN the United States under the oath
they took when they Joined the guard.
