Meetings Thursday.

Desperately standing in the last
trenches the republican leaders Of
the city are resorting TO the conviv-
ial stein and the gratis stogie TO
round up the voters in the distant
parts Of South Bend.
Evidently as proof OF the pros
perity that is to follow the plac-
ing in power Of the republican can
didates, the fayors given at the re-
publican love feasts held Thursday
night were all free. Bottled beer and
key beer were served and there were
at least two varieties Of cigars. No

RURAL ROUTE NO. =,

H. Fl. Granger and e. Truax, who
are very much interested in the estab-
lishment of rural free delivery route
No. 2, which extends from Oroville to
Ellisforde, the mail carrier going down
the river on the west side, crossing at
the Ellisforde orchards, and returning
to Oroville on the east side of the
river have been eXerting themselves
this week to secure the required num-
ber of patrons, which is fixed by the
department at 10, and one of the means
who should be interested, is the mail
ing of postal cards to all those living
in touch with the proposed route. 1t
is necessary that those desirous OF
taking advantage of this convenience,
act promptly. Boxes should be secured
and put in place as near the first of
April as possible, as the postmaster
is required to report to the depart
ment by the 22nd of April that all re-
quirements have been complied with
People living within a mile and half
OF the route are eligible to receive mail
by that service. Every resident of the
valley and foothills within reach of
this service should be sufficiently in
terested to act promptly, and by
prOmptneSs make the establishment of
the route possible.

GOOD ROADS MEETING.

The East and West Okanogan VAL
ley Good Roads association will hold
a public meeting in the library build
ing next Wednesday afternoon at 1:3O
o'clock, when the problem of an equi-
table distribution of road monies for
this immediate part of the county will
be taken up. considered and solved,
so far as practicable. This good roads
movement is something that everybody
is, or should be, interested in, whether
Il resident of the town or country, and
all who can possibly spare the time
should be present at the meeting. The
county commissioners are willing that
the residents of the various districts
have voice in the distribution and
of road money raised in
that particular district, and those To-
calities that are passive or indiffer-
ent, will find themselves left out in
the cold. 1t hardly seems necessary to
urge people to take an interest in
of such great importance.
The mere announcement of the time
and place of meeting for such pur-
pose as considering good roads should
be sufficient to insure the presence of
a large crowd.

IMPORTANT NETTING.

A call has been issued for a general
public meeting of all those who are inter-
ested mitigation to be held at Okanogan
on April 7th.
The subject of irrigation is of vital in
terest to Okanogan county, and to every
man living within or having interests in
the county.
Today Okanogan county Is more talked
of than any other single section of the
state. In its present condition 1T Is often
referred to as the brightest spot in the
state, and it's future prospects are most
promising.
OF all the resources OF Okanogan county
none possess greater possibilities than
arid lands of the state and county present
the best and sureSt means for an increase
of population and wealth.
The splendid development In the Me-
project on the lower Okanogan are but
Illustrations of what will take place in
other sections of the county when the
arid lands are put under irrigation. II the
people of Okanogan county become arOus-
ed and fully understand what complete
development of the irrigation resources
of the county win mean in the way of in
creased population and the consequent in
crease in wealth the first step toward
velopment will have been taken. The last
of a safe and sane development of irriga-
-tfon projects. The continued welfare
the actual user of the land must be the
prime object of all development work.

of all lands possible to irrigate will be a
sure means of so increasing the wealth
of the county that clear ledger and q
low tax rate will be one of the many
benefits to be received. 1t is hoped that

offered, and analyZe the plans outlined.

WILL DO EXTENSIVE WORK.

Walter Bush, Baron Herr Bresch
and his son Phil DeBresch, of st.
Louis, arrived in Oroville Thursday
last, and Saturday continued on to the
Golden Zone mine, a property in which
they are heavily interested and where
they will spend the summer. Pushing
and energetic gentlemen are they, and
their presence here is for the purpose
OF finally demonstrating the true value
of the Golden Zone. 1t is their inten-
ton to let contract for 900 feet of
tunnel work, and that extent of devel-
Opment should thoroughly open up the
property. The Golden Zone is one of
the old time holdings on the north
slope of Mount Chopaka, and much ex-
plOratiOn work has been carried on in
past years. The property is equipped
with modern machinery and treat
ment plant. Some excellent ore has
been encountered in the underground
prospecting SO far carried on, and it
is the firm opinion of disinterested
mining men who have seen the claims
that the Zone is one of the best pros
pective mines in the upper country.
The property is situated very conven-
iently for transportation being only a
short distance from the railroad. Be-
fore the close of 1916 the Zone should
be steady producer, and should that
fortunate end be reached it would give
mining great impetus in this upper
country

A BRACE OF ACCIDENTS.

Sunday afternoon as Miss Margaret
Clark, teacher of the Chopaka school, was
exploring one of the lesser canyons on
the north slope of Mount Chopaka with
"a lady companion she was caught in a
snow and rock slide. sustaining severe
injuries. Dr. Lewis was called and on eN-
animation found that the young lady's
right arm was broken in two places, near
the elbow and at the wrist. The fractures
were reduced and the sufferer made as
comfortable as possible. Tuesday Miss
Clark came to Oroville to remain for a
few days under treatment
Sunday afternoon while securing the
hills short distance southwest of Oro-
vile. in company with several companions
Elliott. the sixteen year old son of Mr.:
and Mrs. W. c. Hancock, fell off cliff
n distance of some 25 feet, sustaining a
fracture of the skull. He was treated at
his home by DIR. Elmer. until Wednesday
afternoon. when the lad was taken to st.
Josephs hospital, where he could receive
careful nursing and attention. He has
never regained consciousness up to the
time of writing, and is in very serious
condition, although his physician is hope
full of an ultimate recovery. 1t is not
known exactly how the accident occurred,
as none of his companions saw young
Hancock fall but it is supposed that he
stepped too near the edge of the cliff and
the soft ground giving way he was pre-
cpitated upon the rocks below.

4 SCHOOL TO BE PROUD OF.

One of the most useful and bene-
fetal features of the high school cur
Iriculum is to be found in the domes-
tic science room. The Oroville high
school is very completely equipped in
this department, as the trustees recog-
lnized its great importance and spared
no expense in fitting up and furnish
| ing large, well-lighted and conyen-
iently located room in the building for
this special purpose. The board was
also fortunate in securing the present
presiding genus of this branch of in
struction in the person of the teacher,
Miss Pauline Davis who is eminently
fitted by training to impart that useful
knowledge that enters into and is a
part of the economy of every household
presided over by fair woman. In the
very nature of such department pro-
vision can be made for only limited
number of pupils, and to the credit Of
the young womanhood of the high
school it can be said that the class has
always been fielled to its capacity,
Moreover, those who have taken in
structions under Miss Davis have
profited thereby, and bid fair to be-
come famous artists in preparing those
eatables that enter into family con-
sumption. Aside from the drudgery of
the kitchen these students are taught,
land are apt scholars in the gracious art
OF entertaining. And we know whereof
we speak.
Recently luncheOns prepared by the
domestic science class have been serv-
ed to invited guests, two of the young
lady members of the class acting as
hostesses on each occasion. This is
practical instruction in preparing,
serving and entertaining, which rounds
out the household duties that some day
will develop upon these young ladies'.
On the occasion when we had the
pleasure of partaking of the vands
prepared by this class in cookery the
table was laid in the gymnasium, and
was very tastefully decorated and ar
ranged. A dozen guests sat down to
the meal. Mis- Dora Cole and Miss
Elizabeth Murray were the hostesses,
and they performed their part with
ease, grace and dignity. Miss Lorraine
Bartell and Miss Pauline Bair served
the guests, and the most perfectly
drilled maids could have done no bet
ter. The luncheon was simply delicious
and the service and quality could not
have been improved upon. AS an in
sight to the capability of the young
cooks and entertainers, and the eff
cheney of the institution in instructing
beyond book knowledge, the experience
was a pleasant revelation, and streng-
thened. if that were possible, our pride
and interest in the Oroville public
school.

T. b. Homes, of Grand Forks, North
Dakota. spent several days in Oro-
willie during the past week, and as a
result of his visit 100 acres under the
new ditch will be broken out and put
into alfalfa, and that will help some
toward placing erstwhile barren val
ley lands in state of productiveness.
Mr.. Holmes is interested with others
in what is known as the Birkholtz
tracts, embracing some 400 acres, To-
Gated few miles south of Oroville, all
under the irrigation system and as
choice land as any in the valley. 1t is
the purpose to put alternate 40 acre
tracts in alfalfa at this time, and even
tually cultivate the entire tract. J.
A. Blackler will have the agency for
this large acreage.
Mrs. Helen Dunlap, wife of Thomas
Dunlap, one of the early settlers of the
Chesaw neighborhood, died at st. Jo-
seph's hospital last Wednesday night.
Mrs. Dunlap was afflicted with drop
/ sy, and was brought % Oroville Tues
lday evening of last week. She stood
the trip we'll, and Wednesday seemed
better than she had been for some
weeks. Wednesday evening as the
nurse was with her and had responded
to some request made by the patient,
! the sick woman turned upon her side
and suddenly passed away. The re-
mains were taken in charge by Under
taken Barnes, prepared for burial and
shipped to Chesaw, where the funeral
took place Saturday. The deceased was
aged 81 years, II months and dys. A
husbnd and five children are left to
mourn her loss.
Joe Hunter. that old time Civil war
veteren who has been spending the
winter at Nighthawk, had his hand al
most pumped off by his old friends
around town Thursday. Joe is a great
josher He recently received a hand
some badge from Washington, an in
sigma of membership in the National
Defense league. In the days that tried
mems souls Mr.. Hunter was a member
of the celebrated New York fire zou-
| aves. and was with that organization
at the battle of Bull Run, when the
northern boys took the wrong end OF
| the decision. Joe says that the badge
was presented to him for the speed he
| displayed putting distance behind him
seeking peace and comfort as far away
from the Bull Run battlefield as it was
possible for him to get in the limited
| time he had to use his legs.
