BASKET BALL TONIGHT.

This evening the Okanogan and
Oroville high school basket ball teams
meet in what will probably be the last
game of the season in Oroville. The
game will be called at 8 o'clock sharp.
The great interest in this contest
hinges on it's settling the champion
ship of the county. Oroville has played
team in the county this season, but
some of them do not count in the
championship series, as they were
with teams outside of the schools en-
tered for the struggle for this honor.
To repeat stereotyped phase, it will
be battle royal, as the teams are so
equally matched. Let it be fair and
square contest. No favors should be
asked or expected from the referee. II
our boys cannot win on pure merit, far
better lose the game. 1t would be far
better to lose every game played than
to boast the doubtful honor of winning
by any partiality on the part Of the
man who rules over the game. Clean
sport is honest sport, and in school
athletics especially the sports should
be conducted in manner where there
could be no question as to honesty.
Whoever is referee tonight let him
tote fair, showing no favoritism, let
the boys play their best, but eshew all
questionable tactics. Then whether the
game is lost or won they will have
nothing to be ashamed of.

securing of title will follow in the
course of time. TO what extent the
company will conduct work after the
issuance of the patent Is not known,
yet it seems like shorrsightedness, If
the mine is to remain idle, considering
the ruling prices of silver, copper and
lead.
The ledge on the Gold Bar was cut
by workmen excavating for the rail-
road tunnel. Mr.. Peterson located the
claims and a company was formed.
Considerable money was spent sinking
and drifting, and the result was most
satisfactory In the way Of ore expo
sure. Lack of means has stood In the
way Of steady, continuous work. Con-
sidering the showing there should be
a strong effort on the part of those
interested to raise sufficient cash to
push Investigations. The Rich Bar Is
now so near being q mine that it has
ceased to be a gamble, and should the
present promise of an extensive ore
body be fulfilled the investors would
soon have their money returned to
them many fold.

BEAUTIFUL ORE.

N Chas II Peterson, who has been
Working in the Gold Bar mine for sew
raj weeks Saturday brought in sam

LONG WAY AROUND.

Talk about the longest way around
being the shortest way there, the
Great Northern certainly had an ex-
perience this week that would verify
,at old saw. Monday, a large work
train, loaded with bridge builders, la
borers and material, arrived here from
Spokane, going on to Wenatchee and
from that point back to Wilson Creek
for the purpose of repairing washed
out bridges and track. The circuitous
route became necessary as the result
of the thaw of last week. Crab creek
and Wilson creek went on rampage,
tearing out railroad and county
bridges and erasings almost the entire
right-of-way for long distance. In
the summer time, these streames are
dry gashes through the barren and un-
inviting scenery; in the spring they
are roaring and devouring torrents
The first break of winter has filled the
streams and considerable more, the
surplus spreading over the adjacent
country, doing vast amount of dam
age, and this at the first and most
modest kick Of spring. What it will be
later when the accumulated snow COM
mences to disappear in earnest the i'm
|agination is unable to picture. No
trains can get over the main line be-
tween Spokane and Wenatchee, and
in order to reach the west side of the
break it was necessary to make the
wide detour by the way Of Oroville
and the south branch. The clerk of the
weather has handed Uncle Jimmie Hill
a bunch of hard luck this winter, and
the end is not yet. The company is do
ing everythoing in human power to
keep the roads open, but human power
dwarfs and is helpless before the
power of the elements.

NOTICE TO PHONE USERS.

Now that the fire alarm has been
installed arrangements have been
made at the central telephone office
for emergency calls after working
hours at night. Calls for a doctor or
in case of fires will be responded to.
In this connection it is especially re-
quested that patrons of the service do
not ring in calls after closing hours
at night for frivolous purposes. If
such a practice prevails the office will
have to be closed altogether The man
agement of the telephone system de-
sires to lend every aid to perfect the
alarm system, or to accommodate those
who are compelled to call physician,
and that courtesy should not be abus-
ed.

ONE OF THE VETERANS.

Guy Waring, of Winthrop, was reg
istered at the Hotel de Grubb last
Friday night. He came in on the be-
lated Wenatchee train, and left for
Spokane Saturday morning. Guy War
ing is one of the oldest residents of
Okanogan county, and probably one
of the best educated and most intelli-
gent. He is the son of Col Geo. E..
Waring, of New York city, in his time
one of the most prominent sanitary
engineers in the United States. Mr.
Waring came to Spokane in the early
SOS. 1t was there we first met him,
and then the acquaintance was con-
fined to merely a casual meeting As
far as can be recalled we met him
on only one other occasion, and that
was in 1883. at the present town OF
Loomis. In those days Mr.. Waring was
associated with the late ]. A. Loomis,
after whom the camp was named. Mes
sers Loomis and Waring were con-
ducting a store in log cabin on the
LoOmis to the west, and the old cabin
still stands. From that place Mr.. War
ing went to the Methow valley where
he has since resided and where he is
engaged in the mercantile business.
Growing to manhood IN the great me-
tropolis Of the country, possessed Of a
brilliant mind, intellectually for above
the average man, with wide acquain
tainship among the prominent people
of the east capable of filling any po-
sition in public or private life, Mr..
Waring elected to come west and set
tie down in this remote section, at that
time sparcely settled, difficult of ac-
cess, with few features, if any, to ap-
peal to a man in his station of life. He
has stuck steadfastly to the land of
his selection. He has seen Okanogan
county develop from wilderness to a
well settled and important subdivision
of the state, and has done his share
manfully in bringing about that
change in conditions. 1t is regretted
that owing to his brief stay in Oroville
we did not have an opportunity to
meet him while he was here, pleas
ure that we have long hoped to enjoy
before the end of life's chapter.
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-02-18

has been written to convince the pub
lie that the winter of 1876 is not
the only hard one on record. A few
more lines. That tramp was one that
few men would have cared to take.
Along the entire route the railroad
was buried deep in snow and ice. A
dozen locomotives, equipped with the
old fashioned snow plow, were wreck
ed within the distance travelled. The
tramp consumed four days Of the most
trying exertion. Possibly fifth day
would have been required, but within
a few miles of Portland farmer, for
a healthy consideration, agreed to take
us to the city in sled. When dicker-
ing over the compensation demanded,
the travellers thought that they had
met up with highwayman, but after
that drive, even If it was only few
miles, they were satisfied that the
granger possessed large and kindly
heart, and was exceedingly modest in
his figures.
This has been some winter, and rail-
roads have had their burden of trouble
but no railroad in this upper country
has ever had the experience that the
o. X. y NJ. passed through the later
part of December and January of
tSS4-5. 1t was three weeks to a day
from the time the train was snow
bound between The Dalles and Cas-
cade Locks until it finally. reached
Portland. Portland was then and is
now delightful city to visit, but there
was little pleasure in our enforced
stay at that time We left Portland on
the very first train headed east, and
when we reached home our intended
three days trip had stretched out to
a full month.

DEATH OF w. H. BOHANNAN.

Word was received at this office
Wednesday evening of the death of w.
Fl. Bohannan. The sad news was slow
in reaching here, as death occurred on
the 9th Of January, at San Diego, Cal.
The deceased had a number of ac-
|quaintances in Oroville who will read
of his death with feelings of regret, al
though it will not be a surprise, for
when here last his appearance indicat-
ed that his days on earth were about
numbered.
Mr.. Bohannan came to Oroville first
some two years ago last December
looking over the country, and while
here assisted in getting out a holiday
issue of the Gazette. He returned to
Oroville from Chase, B. c., about the
first of December Of last year, with
the object of remaining permanently
and going into the realestate business
At that time his health was very much
broken and he seemed in a serious
condition, but he was in good spirits,
hopeful and optimistic. To all appear
ances he was in the last stages of con-
sumption. Cold weather coming on, he
decided to go to the home of his moth
er at San Diago, Cal, believing that a
change of climate would prove bene-
fetal, and firm in his intention to re-
turn to Oroville in the spring. He
survived the change less than a month.
Mr.. BOhannan was a practical prin-
ter and a journalist of more than Or
dinary ability. He was one of the best
hustlers we have ever met in the news
paper business. He published papers
for number of years on the coast, in
Montana, California, Washington and
British Columbia. Personally he was
a man of high principles and integ-
rity, with one of those genial and low
able disposition that attracts and
holds friendships. Those who knew
him best admired him for his sterling
qualities.
Mr.. Bohannan was married at Chase,
B. c., some two years ago. He leaves a
wife, mother, brother and multitude
of friends all over the coast to mourn
his untimely death.

MASQUERADE BALL.

The Odd Fellows of Loomis are pre-
pairing to give the big dance of the
season in that camp on Friday evening
February 25, which is to be in the ma
ture of a mask ball. Whatever the Odd
Fellows of Loomis undertake to do,
they do it right, and the forthcoming
dance undoubtedly will be the most
largely attended and most enjoyable
that has been held in the old camp for
years. The Oroville orchestra is to
supply the music. That is enough said
for that feature. The Kings Daughters
are to furnish the supper, and no Or
ganization can put up better feed.
There will be representatives present
from all the surrounding country, and
if the weather is at all favorable for
travelling a large number Of Oroville
people will participate in the festivi-
ties.

BUSY AT COURT HOUSE
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.


About the most active place in the
county this morning was the vicinity
of the Court House, where the Grand
Jury is holding a special session, the
import of which is little known, except
that is supposed to be in regard to
the Sunday violations.
Witnesses have been summoned In
large numbers have passed through
the guarded doors to the Grand jury
room. to reappear in few minutes go
upstairs with a slip TO the jury room
and receive a check on the County
Treasurer as witness fees.
Just what this large number of wit
nesses have been summoned for is I'M
known to those on the outside OF the
door. but there are many on the anx-
ious seat today. Jack" Flood Is
present and in constant conference
with his lieutenants and attorneys.
1t is thought there is something OF
local importance in the air, as mum
Der of witnesses from Annapolis were
summoned this morning.
