in the Orpheum on Monday and Tuesday
after Easter for the benefit of st. Joseph's
hospital. All denominations and the citi-

one, and the people of the town and sur
rounding country should patronize it lib

INDICATED,

Some time ago the Gazette contained an
item that did an injustice to a worthy and
unOffending gentleman, based on mis-
representations reaching this office. The
incident was the visit of Deputy Game
Warden Burton. of British Columbia,
who was here. as he alleged, to arrest II.
Murk, a former resident of Penticton. on a
charge of volating the British game laws.
1t has just developed that this was a
trumped up charge, made to annoy and
humiliate the victim. Mr. Murk laid the
case before Hon. w. j. Bowser attorney
general of the province of British Column
bia, and recently received the following
letter from that official:
Victoria. B. c. oath of February, 1916.
Mr.. II. Murk, Oroville. Washington.
Dear Sir--I duly received your commu-
nication of the 18th of January in con-
nection with Deputy Game Warden Blur
ton.
This mans actions have been so unsatis-
factory of late that we have decided to
dispense with his services at the end of
March.
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-03-17
Yours truly.

Mr.. Murk went to Canada when a child
and lived there for 35 ears He has much
property i'm the province, and was highly
respected and esteemed by his neighbOrs
and fellow townsmen. At the breaking out
of the war he was subject to some annoy
ance from irresponsible persons on ac-
count of his nativity, and came across the
line where he coul live in peace. He has
been urged time and again by some of the
best citizens of his home town to return.
Since coming to Oroville he has lived a
quiet, retired life, and has made such
favorable impression among our people
that those who know him trust that he
may decide to make Oroville his perma-
npnt home

|WATERGlASs EGGS
NOT FIT FOR MARKET
Method of Preserving Eggs Is for
Home Consumption Only.
BY Hyman H. Cohen, in Oregon
Journal.

By Hyman H. Cohen, in Oregon
Journal.
While eggs in waterglass are con-
sidered good. there is no demand At
all for them in the markets.
Many farmers who have put up
eggs in waterglass during recent
years and have afterwards shipped
them to the.wholesale markets, have
discovered to their dismay that there
5 practically no sale for them except
at extreme low prices. Even then
there is little call for them.
Many country interests have tried
to ship eggs to market that have
been put up in waterglass and have
said nothing regarding this to the
wholesaler. Seemingly, the country
shipper wanted to see whether he
could market this stock as freshly
laid eggs, but every wholesaler knew
instantly that the stock was not fresh.
In all of the city wholesale houses
they employ one or more men whose
duty is to "candle" eggs carefully,
to grade them according to quality
An expert candler will instantly dis
cover just what the supplies are.
In fact so many cases of eggs are
handled in a single day along the
street that even the express men
know by lifting the cases whether the
stock is of extra quality.
If the weight is light, they know
once that either the case has not
been fully packed, the eggs of small
size, or simply not fresh. Eggs lose
weight in keeping, therefore it is idle
for anyone to try to put one over
on the wholesaler.
Last fall there was much complaint
from some country shippers because
they did not secure top prices fol
their eggs. The wholesalers were
forced to explain to each of them
that the eggs did not come up tc
standard or had gone through pro
cess for keeping them. / personally
know of the shipment of 10 cases Of
eggs from one country shipper dur
ing the winter when eggs were scarce
who does not ship more than two OF
three cases at a time when supplies
are plentiful. This one fact was alone
sufficient to cause the city receiver
to believe that something was wrong
with the shipment. He quickly dis
covered that the stock was water
glassed, although the shipper had no
titled him that he was sending hin
10 cases of fresh stuff.

Here Next Sunday.

In one of the worst dust storms Of
the year, Heppner and lone met In
the second game of tne season on the
Egg city diamond last Sunday after
noon. A large number of fans ac-
companied the local team on their
voyage of conquest and revenge, but
after the dust had settled just as Neal
was called out at first, in the first
chapter of the ninth inning, the hopes
of fan and team alike we're routed.
The score stood lone 4. Heppner /.
One of the features Of the game
was the fact that in spit Of the
scoring there was not an earned run.
Christensen, playing third was the
only man completing the circuit for
Heppner.
Sperry, pitching for lone, struck
out Z men while Fulwider retired
only one by this method. There
were few hits on either side and both
twirlers were given good support.

keeper.
Ralph Hymer. former manager Of
Nuns Tigers, officiated as umpire and
his decisions met with approval from
both sides in spite Of the fact that
1t was almost impossible to see the
ball at times, so thick was the dust.
Next Sunday, Condor will meet the
Hepner team in this city. Manager
Pearce announces that practically thu
same line up will be used in this game
that met lone last Sunday. A goot
crowd is expected and considerable
interest is being taken in the coming

TABOO IS PLACED
ON BOARD WALKS
City Council Will Amend Ordinance
And Prohibit Building Board
Walks On Gale And Inter-
yening Streets.

There will be no more board
walks on Gale street and intervening
streets after the present city ordin-
ance pertaining to building permits
for sidewalks has been amended. The
council decided to amend the present
ordinance, which at this time in
cludes only Main street and after the
amendment has been made, it will be
unlawful to replace any board walks
on Gale street or any streets crossing
Gale, with board walks, or to con-
struct new board walks where there
are none at the present time. The
amendment was suggested by coun-
Gilman McCarty. In taking this
course, the council is striving to fol-
low out their program of civic i'm
provement and they are of the opin-
ion that concrete walks fill an i'm
portant place in this program.
The council decided to appropriate
$35 to the fund which will be used In
turning the waters of Ditch creek in
10 the Willow creek channel. The
matter was fully explained by c. A.
Minor, who is acting as chairman Of
a committee from the Heppner Com
mercial Club in raising the money
and putting the ditch through. 1T
means much to the city Of Heppner if
this water is diverted into the Willow
creek channel for it assures US of
running water the whole year
through 1t will also be a great boon
to creek farmers who depend upon ir-
rigation for crop insurance. Nearly
enough money has now been sub
scribed to put the ditch through in
proper form.
A railing will be constructed along
the banks of Willow creek where the
old Gale street bridge formerly stood.
The old street has never been closed
at this point and was considered Of
some menace to travellers who might
not be acquainted with our streets.
The following bills against the city
were audited and ordered maid.
