A SWELL CAR.

Say; have you noticed that swell,
new car that DR.. Lewis is sailing
around in? And if so, have you asked
yourself what is it?" Why. it is the
latest wrinkle in up-to-the-minute
automobiles, being put out by the
Buick people and handled by the
Frank -Craft-Buick company of Oro-
Vile, Waterville, and elsewhere. It
is known in the trade as the e 49, six
cylinder seven passenger Buick tour
ing car 1t possesses every accessory
for operation and the comfort of the
traveller. 1t is a very dream in COM
pletely finished modern gasoline
vehicle. Equipped with all the lat
est improved appointments known for
convenience, sumptuously upholstered.
with powerful propelling force this
new Buick is all that the most criti-
cal and exacting could ask for. DR..
Lewis is delighted with the car, and
his satisfaction is abundantly demon
strated in the fact that he has ordered
a model e "A roadster for use on pro-
fessional visits. This latest in Bucks
is thing of beauty, and is sure to
meet with popular approval.

is so inconvenient as in Oroville. Up
to within few days crossing the
tracks, even for pedestrians, was an
annoying inconvenience. That vexa-
tious inconvenience has been some

Gently, but what has always been
needed is an open street passageway
for vehicles as we'll as pedestrians. A
number of years ago an appeal was
made to the state railroad commission
to remedy the hardship, but at that
time the commission declined to es
tablish a roadway. AS stated hereir
the town council has been in cores
pOndence for weeks with the railroad
authorities and the public service
commission in an appeal for a remedy.

on THE FIRING LINE.

Monday evening Mrs. c. w. Smith
received letter from her son, Dur
wood, who is a member of the 5th Ar
tillery serving in the trenches on the
French front. The letter was nearly
a month enroute. Durwood has had his
baptism of fire, as he writes that he
has heard the Hun shells shrek, and
groan and whistle. A soldier can give
little information of his whereabouts
or what he is doing at the front, and
if he oversteps instructions the letter
is censored and the ruthless censor
obliterates the information that is ta-
boo. This precaution is necessary in
order to prevent valuable information
falling into the hands of the enemy,
but it is very disappointing to the
loved ones at home who are unable to
learn what the loved one is doing,
where he is at or how he is prosper
ing.

WON A COMMISSION

We had the pleasure Friday last of
meeting and greeting Capt. Robert
Graham Evans, who was in Oroville
from Chicago for only single day to
meet his family, relatives and friends
before embarking upon the great ad-
venture" for he carried in his pocket
orders that demanded early passage to
somewhere in the war zone across the
water. -
Bob Evans, that Is, Captain BOD
Evans, is no stranger to the residents
of northern Okanogan county. He
came to the county in company with
his brother Stanley Evans, now OF
hpomis, from Minneapolis some years
ago, before he had gained his major
ity, and the boys entered the sheep
business, in which they accumulated
considerable means. Capt. Evans after
selling out his sheep located In Oro-
Vile and lived here some time. About
five years ago he returned to Mime
apolis, and this flying visit was the
first since his departure.
Shortly after the declaration Of war
with Germany, MIR. Evans entered an
officers training camp in the east.
and after the required schooling OF
soldier won captaincy. At once some
40 graduating officers from that par
ticular camp were selected and as
signed to foreign duty, and Capt. Ev-
ans was one of that contingent. He
just had time to make flying trip
west to visit relatives before embark
ing on that voyage the end of which Is
beyond the ken of mortal eyes. A fine
appearing soldier is Capt. Evans, and
an efficient officer he will make when
he assumes the responsibilities Of COM
manding others in the field.
Capt. Evans realizes the seriousness
OF the work before the American army
and navy, but feels that the preser-
vation of the government demands ev-
cry sacrifice on the part of the people.
and he is ready to make the supreme
sacrifice if Providence DEGREES the
test. for, as he says, German military
ism must be suppressed for the safety
OF future generations. This is the spirit
that animates every young American
who has dedicated his life to uphold
ing the honor of his country. They
are fighting no war OF conquest, but
that the rights and liberties of free
men may not perish from off the
earth.

A SUCCESSFUL MISSION,

The Rt Rev. Herman Page, D.. D.,
of Spokane, bishop of the Episcopal
church of the diocese of eastern Wash
ington, has been holding a series of
services in the local Episcopal church
this week, commencing last Sunday.
These services will be continued to-
night, Saturday and Sunday and the
public is cordially invited to attend
Those who have been present at the
services through the week will not
miss those yet to be held. Bishop Page
Is one Of the most forceful, convincing
and interesting preachers in the west
He does not resort to flights of ora
tory, but talks from the heart and
reaches the heart and understanding
of his hearers. A gentleman of high
spiritual ideals. a thorough Christian,
dignified, yet easily approached, kind
and sympathetic in the pulpit as we'll
as out of it, broad minded and tolerant
he wins the close attention of his con-
gregatiOnS. Added to his clerical abil-
ity he has most winnig and attract
i've personality. and to cap his charm
as man and a minister he is intense
ly and fervently loyal. and for that
matter, no man can be a true Chris
tian who is not loyal to his country.
During his ministrations here Bishop
Paige has carried a message of divine
truths to all of his hearers, he has
sown seeds that will bear fruit and the
mission has wrought good in the COM
munity. Few of us give enough if any
attention to the spiritual side of this
life. or thought upon the life to be, and
ie Bishop Paiges visit has had the ef-
feet of arousing religious interest even
among a very few his work has been
well rewarded.

CONSIDERING A CROSSING.

For months the town authorities
have been actively engaged in move
ment to secure the opening of cross
ing between Main street on the north
side and Fourth street, continuation
of Main street. on the south side of the
railroad tracks. This crossing has
been closed since the first construc-
ton of the railroad, and has been a
great detriment to communication be-
tween the south and north sides of the
town From the Okanogan river to the
Similkameen, clear across the valley,
there is only one crossing to the rail-
road, and that is inconvenient to the
trend of travel. Probably there is no
town in the country of this size where
the street connections between the
two business and residential sections

TO JOIN THE COLORS.

Roger Reed, son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ
L. Reed, expects to leave for Seattle
tomorrow to Join the navy. Another
young local citizen whose head is
crowned with the holy halo of patriot
ism. We congratulate him upon his de-
cision Mr.. Reed. senior, is the Great
Northern station agent, most worthy
successor to most worthy predeces-
sor, and the family have lived in Oro-
vile only short time. We can we'll
appreciate the feelings OF a parent
when seeing a loved one go forth to
take his chances in the hell of war.
but Mr.. Reed is very much like ourself
in this hour when the country is in
danger If we had ten sons of service
age and nine of them would enlist and
one should refuse we would mourn
more over the one that failed to do
his duty than the nine who answered
their country's call.
