BACK FROM THE EAST.

Rev Thomas e. Sherman has just re-
turned from Chicago, where he has been
arranging to bring out settlers to the Okla
hogan valley.
Father Sherman speaks with enthu-
siasrn of the splendid spirit of patriotism
evidenced everywhere in that vast me-
tropolis, now the heart of our great ma
tional army, navy, marine corps, aviation
)corps, engineers, red cross, medical corps,
each and all doing a great work. The ar
my headquarters staff is at work until
ten o'clock at night. The recruiting office
is so busy that it is impossible to commu-
nicate with the chief On the streets are
seen hundreds of our navy boys with their
joyous, open faces, eager for action and
at the naval training station i'm the sub
urbs is a camp for 10000 recruits. The
officers training station at Fort Sheridan
is quite a city of tents. All the national
guard headquarters are hustling also. In
| hotels and cafes captains uniforms are
quite common and attract no attention.
In the theaters patches of picked men
drill. sing and salute the flag.
The orchestra plays patriotic airs be-
tween acts and flood of patriotism is in
jected even into the exhibition of ami
mails There is an exatation in the very
air as one walks through those huge can

waving everywhere against the dazzling

The auditorium of the high school
was crowded last Friday evening by
an interested audience on the occasion
OF the commencement exercises at the
| close of the school term and in honor
OF the class Of five graduates who fin
ished their high school course. The
room and stage was handsomely deco
rated with class colors, and national
flags were conspicuously in evidence.
Flowers were banked along the front
CT the stage and overflowed the piano
in profusion. Over the stage in large
letters was the class motto: "Impos-
sible is UnAmerican." The stage was
occupied by the speaker of the even
ing, the high school teachers and the
graduating class composed of Miss
Ruth Durham, Miss Daisy Stansbury,
Miss Pauline Bair, Aubrey McMahan
and loe Ashby. The vocal selections
were pleasingly rendered and the
barytone solo by Claude Waniche'S

ALMOST A CRIME.

Rumor has it that an alleged game
Of ball took place in town Sunday af-
ternoon, in which Omak and Oroville
clubs rivaled each other in an exhibi-
ton of how not to do it. According to
witnesses the performance was the
most weird and CHASTITY display of wild
throws. muffs, insane base running
and bonehead plays ever seen on any
diamond in this or any other county. 1t
was so awful as to be real funny, and
the big crowd had their moneys worth
in laughter, although disappointing
after the close game the same clubs
played the Sunday before. The less
said about the event the better, for the
same clubs will probably never again
make such record, indeed they could
not even if they tried ever so hard.
Sufficient to add that the eighteen wOb-
bly gladiators scrambled through ten
innings. consuming nearly three hours
of good day light in balling up what is
generally considered very interesting
sport. The misery finally ended in ia
yor of Omak by score of IL to IL. hut
the Jolly boys from the Apple City did
not feel at all proud of the victory.

The population OF Ruby in the person
OF Bert Hawthorne was in town Mon
day. NEARLY 80 years ago. Ruby. the
site of which town is now only mem

the first town in OkanOgan county to
incorporate, grade streets and enjoy
the distinction of a town government
1t is remembered by few old timers
and those who are holding warrants
issued to meet municipal expenses
When mining ceased at Ruby the in
|habitants gradually filtered away, leav-
ling large number of buildings stand
ing vacant, some of them two stories
Gradually these buildings were dis
lmanteled of doors, windows and all
things portable, and then fire swept
away the residue. A large school house
stood in a dense growth of underbrush
for a number of years, but that at last
disappeared also. For time after the
mercurial inhabitants pulled up stakes
one or two individuals remained in the
town. and about the last Of them was
