light in the very near future. There
are great long stretches of straignt
road-a real pleasure for the auto
traveller but at present it is rough
and dusty. We were still travelling on
the Yellowstone trail, which goes TO
New York City. The auto clubs OF the
state are responsible for the trail.
We passed the Minnesota Wisconsin
state line about D. m, into q little
town by the name of Hudson, and we
reached Stratton hotel in the town OF
Baldwin, in Wisconsin, about I:30 p.
M, where we stopped over night.
On Tuesday, August 81, we were
agiain on our way Leaving BALDWIN
the roads were rough and dusty, and
the valleys were narrow but seemed
fertile. Shallow streams and small
lakes we're everywhere for nearly
thirty miles. Then we came to ths
widest part of the valley, and while.
the land was rolling, it was mucn
better than earlier in the day, and
there were very heavy yields OF oats
and wheat and a great part OF the
grain had fallen over, which made
harvesting very difficult.
Pass Tobacco Fields
We passed our first tobacco fields
today. There were fine large leaves
and good growth and some great
barns for curing the tobacco showing.
All the houses and barns we saw mad
several lightning rods, showing that
they have heavy lightning storms here
as we'll as in the Dakotas. And we.
saw as many women in the fields as
as men, cutting and stacking hay
At one farm, the father and mother
were pitching the hay up on the
wagon, and their two grown daughters
were placing it. At another place the
women were on the wagon fork1ng the
hay UP to the men on the hay stacks.
An old grandma was trying to-
straighten up the fallen grain so that
the mower could get at it. We passed
the State Industrial School, an irl-
mense brick building at the left of
the road. Arriving at the town Of
Marshfield, in Wisconsin, we stopped
at the Hotel Bloget for the night. We
were on our way again the next morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock, and passed many
farms with help signs" posted on
the fences or posts reading set your
own wages" There was a county
fair in Marshfield where prizes were
offered for the best corn. ...:..
The prizes ranged from $1,000 to
$500. *&s .~". .-. ~. -. .. ..-a !
Many Pennants .,:..
Mr.. Lewis started from Honolulu
with several pennants on his machine,
and for time people took notice, But
pennants are very plentiful over here.
Some people place new pennant on
their machine at every little town they
pass through. .>=.~5
After leaving Marshfield, We realiz-
ed that the town had been very appro-
priately named, as the valley at some
time had been covered with water and
timber and there was water and tim
Der just under the surface everywhere.
The place is the center of rich dairy
business. = +.
The nearer we got to Milwaukee, the
poorer we found the roads. The farms
are very small, but yield rich heavy
oats and wheat. We passed two lum-
Der mills where they were making
wooden buckets and shingles. We
reached Milwaukee about 9 O'Clock D.
m, where we spent the night

ferry, which cost Dir. Lewis $1.60, and
In crossing the river We passed under
two million dollar railroad bridge,
with soldiers guarding both ends.
They said it was lazy job. We were
still travelling on the Yellowstone trail
and wherever stone could be found,
the authorities have painted it yellow,
SO that travellers would know they
we're on the right trail. (Quite appro-
pirate, don't you know?1 OF course
A convenient post would have ans.
wered, but they apparently preferred
a stone.
After leaving Lemon, the country
was very much as it was before; what
having was done was the natural or
prairie hay. but after We had Travelled
from seyenty-fiye to one hundred
miles, we struck a very much richer
country. We passed miles and miles
of fine pasture land untouched by
stock. We arrived at the hotel Du'
mont, in the town of Bowdle, about 6
p. m. The next morning We were. on
our way at $50 o'clock. Snakes every
where. We saw more snakes In South
Dakota than in all our other travels.
We passed a woman taking her two
tins Of milk to market, and she looked
as though that was her only source of
income. .~
We reached a town by the name OF
Aberdine, which has a population OF
between $4,000 to 1900 and seemed
to be very hustling town: fine street
car service, block paved streets; and
five globe lights every 100 feet along
the streets. Soldiers everywhere.
After leaving Aberdine, we found. very
much better farms, a fine stand OF
grains and hay, some fine stock, and
several flocks of sheep.
Cross Into Minnesota +.
We passed the South Dakota and
Minnesota line at p. M, and reached
the Columbian hotel a little later, in
the first town in Minnesota, named Or
tonyille, where We stayed all night.
After dinner we strolled around the
town and saw Big Stone Lake which
divides South Dakota from Minnesota.
The lake is forty miles wide and ice
from it is cut in winter and stored,
and supplied to most of the large cities
in the East during the summer
Across the lake from orion
vile there is a pleasure resort reach.
ed by excursion steamers. "A few
ago, as steamer was cross
ing, it blew up and seven people lost
their lives. Among the drowned was
the owner of the steamer.
The government restocks the lake
every year, with good eatable fish, and
turns them loose by the carload. To
protect the good fish they use nets to
catch the worthless fish and destroy
them.
One very noticeable thing about
South Dakota is the absence of trees.
Not tree in sight anywhere in South
Dakota. The people have to use oil
for cooking purposes. ALI have heard
of buffalo chips being used as fuel
Well, we saw an old woman and two
girls out in the corral piling and carry
ing away chips for fuel. ....

There had been a cyclone in this
town some two years ago, which des.
troyed several buildings, and carried
away the only garage that was in the

and only cyclone that ever visited this

hoppers. Lightning rods on all the
buildings were noticeable. Some OF
the barns had as many as six and
seven, giving one the impression that
lightning is always expected in North
Dakota. For the first one hundred
miles after leaving Ismay, farms were
very fe- and far between, and poor.
Another thing that was very notice
able, was the absence of the little
old wooden school-house. There are
fine brick and stone schools every.
where. What little farming there is,
is dry upland, and the hay being
stacked was the natural grasses,
and it looked like very poor stuff, but
we we're told that it is very fine hay.

The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1917-07-27

One of the most interesting series of
entertainments that has taken place
in Oroville for some time was that
given by Prof. Howard, prestidigitator
and hypnotist, who held the boards at
the Orpheum theatre Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday evenings of last
week. Great interest centered in the
exhibition of the Professors hypnotic
powers, on and of the stage, which
was something really creepy and un-
canny. Friday night he announced that
he would place subject under hyp-
motto influence who would continue
in sound sleep "a hours. The subject
was young man named Albert Hall.
After the Professor had given him the
once Of twice over Hall to a1l appear
ance was bereft of life as a corpse.
His body stiffened, his hands we're
cold and his sleep was in the nature Of
a state of como, as the Professor ran
a large pin through the fleshy part of
the mans arm and he never WINGED.
The subject occupied a bed in the
show window of the Oroville CONNER
cial companys store all day Satur-
day, attracting crowds. Saturday
at the end of the "a hours, Hall was
awakened by Professor Howard on
the stage, none the worse for his long
Isleep. The Professor does not sail un-
der false pretenses. He does just what
he says he is going to do in his advance
announcements

Thursday morning about 10 o'clock by
which r. P. McLennan, engaged in
hauling lumber from Lavingueur &
|Francisco's sawmill, southeast of Oro-
willie, to town, was instantly killed.
|McLennan left the mill that morning
with load of green lumber, to be de-
|livered to the West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation district at this place. There
were $500 feet of lumber in the load,
drawn by four horses. Coming down
Ia grade near the Conklen place, seven
miles south Of town, On siding place

wheel suddenly collapsed and the wag-
lon turned over. McLennan had no
chance to escape. Indeed, it is alleged
that his foot caught in the brake rop,
He was caught under the load of heavy
lumber, and his head and body crushed
almost to q pulp. J. A. McGinty
brought the remains to Oroville in his
|car. leaving them at the w. L. Barnes

prepared for burial. Upon examination
1t was found that the skull was crush

borhood a year or two. He came west
from Muskegon, Mich. The funeral
took place from the undertaking par

DRAFT SELECTION.

The following is list OF names o:
those who have been drtsr in the
north part of the county 20 serve ur-
der the selective conscription law.
Some of the precincts in the county,
|such as Okanogan, Oroville and To-
nasket, have been pretty hard hit.
However, the fact that mans name
have been drawn does not necessarily
mean that he will be accepted for SER
vice. There will be many eliminations,
and another drawing may be neces-
sary to make up the number required
by the first CALL A large percentage Of
those drafted will fail to pass owing
to physical disabilities, while many
Others will be exempt under the vari-
GUS exemption clauses. Furthermore,
it may be that those selected finally
will never see active service, as it
will require months to prepare the
new levies from actual service, and
by that time everybody devoutly hopes
that the war will be over. Even in that
case the drilling and experience will
be of incalculabe benefit to those
young men who are selected for the
army:
