The Sumter high school boys re-
turned to Sumter Saturday night much
eiated over their victory over the
Rock Hill high school team on Friday
AFTERNOON at the York Couny fair.
The game was 12 to 0 in Sumter's
fapor.
The Sumter boys reported that tho
Rock Hill team was much heavier
thRn theirs and that the game was
! played for the most part in drizzling
rain with the ground soggy, so that
neither team could get up much
speed. The ball was slick with mud

the Sumter boys relied against their
heavier opponents could not be work.
ed, as the ball could not be passed.
Some Of the boys devised a scheme
new In the annals of football to elm
mate this trouble, scheme which
worked beautifully on one occasion for
a long pass and a touchdown on the
4
next two plays. Some of the boys had
been chewing gum in the game and
Burt Haynsworth. who on a dry day
can easily make thirty yard pass,
smeared his good right hand LIBERAL
ly with this sticky composition. 1t
worked like a charm. He caught the
ball as it was passed to him. The
gum gave him an effective hold on it
and the pass to Purdy was made for q
twenty-five yard gain. Which goes to
show that the brains of high school
boys are active in play, when they can

The president then told Of the work
being done by engineering, medical
and other scientific organizations in
organizing the resources-of the nation.
II am glad" he went on, that the
campaign is nearly over. I am in a
hurry to get down to business again.
There is great deal of irresponsible
talk being INDUCED in. Men are say
Ing lots OF things that they know per-
fectly we'll they can not make good
on and 1t disturbs the national coun-
sci. On the 7th of November we will
call time and say to each other:
Nov that the talk is over and
all the things have been said that will
be regretted, let us sober up. Let's
stop this indulgence in talk and really
get down to the solemn business, for
1t Is very solemn business of trying
to comprehend our general attitude
with regard to the nation at large"
"And not only with regard to the
nation at large. but with regard to
the part we shall play among the

not let any opportunity pass without
mentioning our relationships with the
rest Of the world because they are
going to be incomparably more inti-
mate I'm the years to come than they
ever have been i'm the years before.
That is the reason we are insisting,
my fellow citizens, that when men
lhink they shall think in terms Of
America and not in terms Of other
countries.
That is the reason we are putting
men through the third degree in re-
spect to where tlfey stand with regard
to love OF the United States. That
Is the reason we are submitting them

as genuine Americans or not and if

only in profession but i'm performance,
then we are ready to be partners with

Of probation, when we will allow them

to take part with us, whom we will
insist that they he instructed by our
prccept and by our example; and
when we shall show them that the
only dignity that they can get, the
only glory they can get, the only SELF
satisfaction they can get is by sharing
with all the true hearted men that

DEATH OF A WORTHY YOUTH.

Glen Joseph Sheriff., of Anglin, aged
90 years, died of peritonitis at st. Jo-
sephs hospital early Tuesday morning.
A week or ten days prior to his death
the deceased suffered from severe
pains in the groin, but in a day or
two he felt better and was working
about the farm. The latter part of the
week he was again taken down and his
condition became alarming. DR.. ClOugh
of Tonasket was called. He recognized
at once that the young man was suf-
fering from appendicitis in it's worst
form, and he had the young man taken
at once to the 'Oroville hospital for an
operation. DR.. Lewis states that when
the patient reached here he was so
low that his pulse had almost stopped
and there was only slight beating of
the heart. The young man never ral-
lied, became unconscious Monday
night and died toward morning.
The deceased was steady, industri-
Gus young man of sterling character,
great favorite among his acquain-
tances and his untimely death is a ter
rible blow to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Sheriff.. They have had more
than their share of misfortune to bear
for during the past four years they
have lost their four eldest children.
The sympathy of neighbors and friends
goes out to them in their deep afflic-
ton. The remains were shipped to An
glin Tuesday morning where the fun
eral took place Wednesday.

TESTIMONY OF WEIGHT.

Horace f. Smith, county engineer,
was in town Tuesday from Okanogan.
The object of his visit was to go over
the West Okanogan Irrigation system
in this vicinity on tour of inspection
in his official capacity and check up
the work, and notwithstanding the in
clement weather the inspection was
made in company with members of the
local force of engineers and represen-
tatives of the district board of direct
ors. If there is any one in the county
qualified to pass judgment upon the
character of the work performed in
the construction of the irrigation sys-
TEN and the materials used it is an
experienced engineer and surveyor,
and such an individual is Mr.. Smith,
who is considered to be an authority
in his profession. He has the reputa-
tion of being both capable and thor
Ough, and an opinion expressed by him
has weight and should carry cOnvic-
ton.
Mr.. Smith stated in this office that
the system has been most admirably
constructed, and there could be no
fault found with any of the details.
He considered the bitches and fl,umes
not only well built, but permanently
built and one of the best systems that
has ever come under his observation.
He was surprised to find the system
so nearly completed, and expressed it
as his opinion that if no unforeseen ac-
cident intervened water could be turn
ed on in May. Mr.. Smith spoke freely
and earnestly upon the subject, reach
ing his conclusions after careful eX-
animation of every phase of the work.
1t is a satisfaction to quote such evil
dence from such reliable source, and
especially as it is not influenced by
any interest held in or under the pro-
ject by the party so expressing him.

DIED AT SPOKANE.

The sad news of the sudden and un-
expected death of Miss Mary Sherlock,
which occurred last Thursday at the
Sacred Heart hospital, Spokane, was
received here by the friends of the de-
ceased Monday. Miss Sherlock came to
Oroville with the Misses Stacks some
four years ago, from Amsterdam, New
York. At that time she was in very
poor health, and her physicians pre-
dicted that she could live buk few
months at the best. She gained strength
almost at once in this climate and took
up homestead on the mountain a
short distance southwest of Oroville.
She was an accomplished and talented
young lady full of life and energy after
regaining her health, and was gener-
al favorite in the neighbOrhood where
she lived. She took charge of her
homestead, and last year raised con-
siderable quantity of the celebrated
Marquis wheat. She went out to SpO-
kane from here a short time ago, evil
dently took sick without the knowledge
of her friends here, as her death was
much of surprise. She was consist
ent and devout member of the Catholic
church. She is survived by one sister
living at Amsterdam, N. Y. The funeral
took place at Spokane, Wednesday.
Miss Katherine Stack and Mr.. and Mrs.
w. o. Steele left Tuesday for Spokane

carnival. The Orpheum has a large
floor space, yet almost every foot of
that space was occupied. A dense mass
of sightseers encroached upon the
floor, leaving narrow space for the
dancers. This did not detract in the
least from the gayety ever in attend
ance. The best of good cheer, good
humor, happy merriment prevailed,
and the he or she who was not there
missed one of the greatest dances and
most enjoyable masquerades, in point
of number of maskers and diversity of
costumes, ever seen in Oroville.
1t was motley crew that tramped
over the narrow territory left by the
crowd for the grand march, made up
Of almost every imaginable character.
1t was where impersOnaters Of high
and low degree met on common foot
ing. The prince and the pauper were
there cheek by jowl, and the princess
and the negroes touched elbows.
When tangled in the dizzy whiri the
floor presented the tangled color5 of
a Kaleidoscope. The dainty and the
rude, the pretty and fantastic, the
gentle and the rough interminglel in
happy abandon.
Where there were so many excellent
costumes and well sustained charact-
ers it taxed the discernment and judg-
ment of the committee selected for
! that purpose to decide upon those en-
titled to the prizes offered. According
to the findings of that committee Miss
| Lucille Gardiner was awarded the
prize as the best dressed lady. She
represented colonial dame, a por-
trayal that set off her charming per-
personality to the best advantage. Mrs
| d T. Chamberlain, as a shepardess was
awarded the prize for the best sustain
| ed lady character. Beverly Powell, as a
Mexican took the prize as the best
dressed male character, and for the
best sustained Characterization the
prize was awarded to Mr. and Mrs w
A. Kerr and their little daughter
LYLE. This presentation was the best

DISASTROUS FIRE.

One of the most disastrous fires in
the amount of loss that has occur
red in the county for years was the to-
tai destruction of the Tonasket flour
mill, owned by M. Schweikert, which
occurred early Monday morning. The
fire was first discovered by Mr.. Sch
weikert, and at that times the flames
were bursting from the cupola. The
only hose in the own was at the mill.
and this Mr.. Schweikert attached to a
hydrant and had stream of water
playing on the fire in a few minutes
but the fire had secured too great a
start for single stream to have any
effect general alarm drew most of
the citizens of the place to the scene.
L. G. Dodge and a crew of fire fighters
concentrated their efforts toward saw
ing an annex on the east side of the
mill, which contained the engine.
pump, dynamo and switch board that
is connected with the service that sup
plies the town with water and light.
Fortunately the floor of this addition
Is some six feet below the surface. the
wall of concrete with concrete floor
above. Many times the flames en-
croached upon this addition. but by
hard work the tiremen succeeded in
saving the property. The room con-
tanned big 40-hOrse power Bessemer
low grade oil engine, triplex Gould
pump, twitchboard and II X. w. West
lnshou:e dynamo. The cause of the fire
is not known, but is supposed to have
been Spontaneous combustion in oily
waste used about the machinery in the
mill. The loss on building, machinery
and stock is said to be $4,000, with
$4,000 insurance.
The TOnasket flour mill grew to be
considerable institution from a very
small beginning, through the enter
prise of the proprietor, Mr.. Schweik-
ert The loss is a very severe one to
him, and whether he will rebuild again
Is at this time unknown. The mill has
been large factor in the business life
of Tonasket, as it's presence has at
tracted much trade to that place. Con-
sldering what an important industry
1t has been to the town the people of
Tonasket will no doubt, make some ar
rangement to have the mill rebuilt.
