THE SEASONS RECORD.

ljust as hard as though victory was GER
tain. They struggled manfully to head
off disaster, but all efforts were fruit
less against the steady rush of their
opponents. 1t was pretty game and a
clean one from startsto finish, with few
fouls and an absence of rough work.
McMahan, one Of 0roville's star per-
Formers; did not st6xss parc IN -ttrc- first
half, standing aside to give Substitute
Pulls try out, and the young man held
up his end we'll. There is no telling
what the score would have been had
McMahan taken hand in the opening
session. 1t certainly would have been
much larger, for more pep was inject
ed into the game as son as he took the
| floor and his contribution to the score
was eleven baskets for total of 22
lpoints.
From the very start off it was evil
dent that Omak was not in the game
Before large and roaring audience OF
keenly eXpectant fans the game was
called at late hour, the delay being
caused by the visitors not reaching
here until after eight o'clock. Beverly
Powell filed the position of referee,
giving satisfaction to all concerned.
Lengthy Bovee got action at once, anu
lit looked as though he was constantly
lifting the ball over and chucking it
through the hoop But the entire team
Il put in their best licks, and where all
did SO we'll it would be invidious to
single any one out for special mention
individually and unitedly they worked
for success, and success is what they
achieved with a big S. At the close of
the first half Omak had succeeded in
riakng but one basket and two fouls
for total of four points, while Bovee
scored six goals, Sanpiere three goals
and Ashby three goals and one foul
for total of % points.
| With the opening Of the second half
IMcMaahn took his old position and at
once commenced scoring ringers from
all parts of the floor. Omak scored by
three goals and one foul, for points.
McMahan made II goals, Bovee and
Ashby 2, for a total of 34 The final
|score was SO to II in favor of Oro-
willie. Taken all around and the
game was most creditable ending to
THE most successful basket ball season
for any team that has ever represented

While quite a number OF nas!,ers
were recognized through personal
characteristics, in the main. most of
those on the floor were well disguised
and when masks were removed the
tevolation made was the occasion OF

never been more orderly or bette
regulated social affair of the kind helC
In Orovllle. From the opening overtur
until Home, Sweet Home' there wa
not unseemly interruption. Every
body was out for a good time, and they
had it. The band is to be congratulate
ed not only upon the unprecedented
success of the dance, but for the man
ner in which the big crowd was han

ire and attendance that future public
affairs Of the kind will be compared to

other dance will be neld that will equal

of participants and the amount of
fun In circulation.

The matter of the offer of certain
property owners along the lake front
north of town, to donate to the town a

poses was taken up and motion was
made and carried that the offer be ac-
cepted.
The health committee then made d
report of the sanitary condition of the
town recommending that certain prop

this, the commissioners districts would
have to be changed so that one would
include all the northern end of the
county, the second, all OF the central
portion, and the third, all of the south
ern part and all the Methow valley.
Those interested in the politics Of their
communities might see in this a loss
of prestige or the possibilities or I'm =
satisfactory sectional representation
on the board. However at the present
time-to cite the extreme-It is pos
sible to elect three members of the
board, two of whom might live within
the corporate limits of the town of
|OkanOgan, and the third just across
the river, not more than quarter of
a mile away, while the north, central
and southern political divisions would
positively assure wide representation.
Late in 1916 the board made slight
change in the line between commits
|sioner districts No. l and along Sal
mon creek and according to Rem. Il
Bal. 1868 it would seem that they are
mot permitted to change the districts
|again for four years.
In 1916 the commissioners and the
|engineer presented this matter 10 tie
association and 1t was rejected by
those present Whatever merit the
plan had, the association was undoubt-
|edly justified in their action at the
time, as very few were well advised on
the question before the meeting and
the time to study was too short before
the session terminated. In the forego-
ling an attempt has been made to pre-
|sent conditions, laws and possibilities
in such a way that members of the as
ISOLATION will have foundation, at
least, for any further study or investi-
CATION they may desire to make prior
to the meeting on April 9th. 1t is not
anticipated that the present board Or
lofficials will advance the question at
1.-THE meeting and if brought up at all
lit will be by delegates present
Aside from sustaining and stimulat-
ing interest and study in the better
roads movement the association ac-
lcomplishes a great good by the intel
lligent criticisms and suggestions on
the problems of organization and sup
lewiston should be cordially received
by any board of commissioners and
they are problems which the associa-
ltion and all road officers can profit
lably study.

RESOLUTIONS.

On April 25th, 1917, just as the
sun was slowly setting in the western
sky, the message came to our friend
and colaborer in the Masters vinyard
Miss Cornelia Price Canty Burgess,
that her work on earth was finished
and that the mansion prepared for
her in the world beyond was ready.
She fingered few hours longer with
loved ones here, then at 3 o'clock on
the morning Of the 26th, quietly and
peacefully slipped away to enter into
the higher service and receive the re-
ward promised to the faithful. Mrs.
Burgess was of singularly modest
and retiring disposition, but while
shrinking from any publicity, she was
ever loyal and true 70 her church,
faithfully living up to the vows she
took to support it's institutions and
attend on it's ordinance. Never when
she was physically able to be there,
was her place empty when the church
was open, and she often said that
she did not see how she could live
without the joy and conf fort which the
Sunday school, church service, prayer
meeting, and missionary society
brought her.

Resolved that we miss her gentle

T. 'sence, but how resigned to the will
of him who makes no mistakes, rea-
lizing that in calling her to Himself
He has spared her many sorrows in
the dark sad days through which we
are passing.
Resilved II, That we deeply sympa-
thize with her children and grandchil-
dren and large circle Of relatives and
friends who "long for the touch of a
vanished hand and the sound of a
voice that is still"
Resolved III, That a page in our
minutes be enscribed to her memory
and that copies of these resolutions
be sent to her family and to the Her
aid and Manning Times for publica-
ton.

YANKEES BOYCOTT NEGRO

Schenectady, N. Y, June 1S.-Two
thousand machinists at the plant of
the General Electric Company struck
today as protest against the en-
ployment of a negro. Last week
Robert Dixon, a negro student at
Union College, was given vacation
work in the machine shop. The ma
chinists took the position that this
was an initial step towards placing
negro labor in the shops, but this
was denied by company officials. On
Saturday the machinists union noti-
fed the management that unless Dix
on was dismissed they would strike
today. The company refused to COM
ply with the demand, and the work
ers left their benches this forenoon

Hon. Jas. M. Windham,
Judge Of Probate,
Manning, S. C.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 9Th
inst l beg to advise that a person
desiring permit to receive whiskey
is required to appear in person and
file his affidavit with the Judge of
Probate, which affidavit may be made
before any officer of the State auali-
fled to administer an oath. There is
no exemption made to persons who
may be decrepit or infirm.
A married woman, having no chill
dren and her husband having left her
or being away from home, is not en-
titled to permit as the head of a
family. A single woman over the
age of twenty-one years, who is
boarding out or living by herself, is
not entitled to such permit.
Trusting this gives you the desired
information, am,
Yours very truly,
Thos. H. Peoples,
Attorney General.
