Guy C. Browne, of Wenatchee, chair

FILLING VACANCIES.

Geo. I. Cole, in leaving Oroville Gre
ates vacancy both in the board of
directors of the West Okanogan Val
ley Irrigation District and the board
of school trustees. Mr.. Cole has been
valuable member of both boards. He
is man of hard common sense and
much business ability. He has always
stood for economy just as far as econ
omy could be practiced without affect
ing the efficiency of the school or the
irrigation system. He is scrupulously
honest and upright and is valuable
man to have in any position where the
distribution of public funds is part
of the duty of the incumbent. His as
sociates on the two boards always
found him a fair, just and pleasant
members to work with. In filling these
vacancies the boards mentioned have
made excellent selections in our opin-
ion. j. F.. Samson has been recon-
mended to fill the vacancy on the
board of the West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation district, and j. w. Carrel on
the board of school trustees.

SUCCESSFUL BANKER.

Arthur Lund was a visitor from To-
nasket Saturday. Mr.. Lund is now the
pioneer banker of the county, and
what is more to the point has prob
ably met with as good, If not better
success than any one who has ever
been engaged in banking in Okanogan
county. 1t is now quite number of
years ago that Mr.. Lund opened banks
in Loomis and Riverside, in the days
when banks were not as numerous as
they are at present. At the time that
Tonasket was laid out as town Mr..
Lund got in on the ground floor and
was instrumental in starting the First
National bank of Tonasket, the other
two banks being state institutions. Be-
ing a man of more than ordinary bus
mess ability, hustler as many hours
of the day that he was awake, Mr..
Lund's business steadily grew, and we
have yet to hear of stockholder that
can object to the money he has made
for the banks over which he presides.

DEATH OF GUY TEEL.

Guy Teel, an old and we'll known
resident of Ellemeham mountain, died
of typhoid pneumonia at Princeton,
b. c., Sunday evening, after an illness
of some nine days. The remains were
brought down to Oroville on the train
Monday evening and taken to the
Barnes undertaking parlors, and the
funeral was held from that place at
10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
The deceased went to Princeton
aboutva month ago and secured work
with the Copper Mountain mining
company hauling ore from the mine
70 the railroad. He was taken sick
nearly two weeks before his death,
but at first paid no attention to his
aiment, thinking it was but cold,
and kept at work. At last he was fore
ed to take to his bed, typhoid pneu-
monia developed, proving fatal in a
few days.
Guy Teel was born in Oregon %
years ago, coming to Okanogan county
some eleven years ago, settling on
Ellemeham mountain where he has
since lived, and there he married a few
years ago. He was an industrious, up
right young man, and very popular
among his acquaintances. He leaves a
wife, a father and four bothers to
mourn his untimely death

followed by Rollo Mcbride, lecturer
who has few equals on the platform;
the st. Clair Sisters, vocalists and vio-
linists, mandolin and banjo perform
ers; then the Rob Roy male quartet,
delightful entertainers; closing with
George r. Colby, cartoonist and lee
turer, probably one of the most inter-
esting and entertaining numbers of
the series.
Every resident of Oroville and Vi
cinity who enjoys high class entertain
ments should patronize this Lyceum
course and encourage it's repetition
next year. Mr. Bartell will issue seas
on family tickets for $500, which ad-
mits an entire family to all five of the
performances, and if there are two ar
three children in a family this is
cheaper entertainment than the pre-
vailing price to moving picture houses.
Mr.. Bartell has taken the chances of
meeting with support from the public
by guaranteeing the bureau the cost
of these attractions, and we believe
that he will find that he was justified
in the venture by the size of the audi
ences that will turn out at each enter
tainment. There are enough of people
in and around Oroville who have seen
and appreciate a better class of at
fractions than are commonly to be
seen in smaller towns to support a
series of entertainments such as the
Redpath Lyceum offers, and we feel
certain that full houses will greet the
appearance of every number billed
for this place.

HONOR ROLL CANDIDATE.

Travor H. Mallory, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. W. Mallory, who has been
employed at the power plant of the
Okanogan Valley Power company for
several years, went to Spokane last
week and enlisted in the navy, a step
he has had in contemplation for some
time. Travor Mallory has lived in Oro-
vile for a number of years, and is
popular among all classes, old and
young. A bright, intelligent, genial
young man he will surely make his
way in the branch of the service he
has selected. His many friends admire
him for the step he has taken and
wish him all manner of good fortune
while sailing the boundless blue. MIR.
Mallory will be in town for few days
before leaving for his post of duty.
His enlistment adds another name to
the long list of young men from and
near Oroville who have voluntarily en-
tered their country's service to aid in
upholding the honor of the nation and
the nations flag.

EXTEND A HELPING HAND.

More interest has been taken re-
Gently in the meetings of the local
Red Cross society than earlier in the
summer. which may be accounted for
from the fact that war has come near
er home to us by the departure of so
many young men from town and
country to the army and navy. Those
willing to engage in Red Cross work
realize that what they can turn out in
the way Of comforts, or necessities,
for the boys in service will be helping
their boys, or their neighbor's boys,
to better stand the hardships of SOL
diering. Yet there is room for more
workers at the Red Cross meetings
and every woman and girl in town
who can spare few hours on Thurs
days should be present at the lbrary
building doing their bit.

by that organization as a mark OF ap-
preciation to Drs. Elmer and Lewis, as
well as the community generally, as
the two doctors have on more than

HANDSOME ORE.

Henry Bahrs was down from the
Copper World Extension mine Tues
day. AS he was leaving the mine he
picked up two chunks of ore from the
common dump, one from the 200 foot
level, and the other from the 800 foot
level and brought them along to show
the character of the ore that is being
taken out for shipment. The pieces
Mr.. Bahrs exhibited were large and
solid ore with the exception of a
small quantity of white quartz that ap
peared in the ore taken from the 800
foot level. 1t was as pretty ore of the
character as has ever been seen in this
place, and the beauty of it is there is
II feet of the same kind of ore at the
300 foot level. This is the stuff that is
being delivered at the railroad at
Nighthawk for the smelter, and con-
sidering the quantity in sight if the
Copper World Extension does not pay
the operators, we'll then, it would
seem that it is about useless to con-
tinuing mining on Palmer mountain.

ON HIS OLD STAMPING GROUND.

Harry G. Cowling, who at one time
made his home in Oroville, and left
here some seven years ago and moved
to Seattle, was visitor in town over
Sunday and Monday. While living here
Mr.. Cowling took up a piece of land
as homestead, situated in the valley
few miles south of Oroville, and
came up to see if the land was where
he had left it. By profession Mr.. Cow
ling is civil engineer, and for years
held position with the Great Nor
thern railroad. He went to Seattle to
enter the engineering department of
that road, and is still with the road.
Time is treating the young man kindly
as he appears to be in the pink of con-
dition. He reports Mrs. Cowling and
the heavenly twins, who were infants
when the family left Oroville, in ex-
cellent health.

THE OKANOGAN RECEPTION.

There was great outpouring of
people from far and near to take part
in the reception rendered to the second
40 per cent of the draft contingent by
the people of Okanogan last Friday
evening. Oroville sent down a large
delegation headed by the band and the
Independent reporting the affair had
the following items in reference to the
part played by the delegation from
this place:
"The Oroville band arrived during
the afternoon and shortly after seven
o'clock commenced a concert in the
open air band stand, on Second avenue
which continued until s o'clock, and
was highly appreciated by large
audience"
"The Oroville band opened the pro-
gram with an overture, which was eX-
ceedingly well rendered. This organi-
zation was the hit of the evening, ev-
cry number rended by it being greeted
with tremendous applause"
"Dr. d. II. Lewis, president of the
an address. He reminded the men of
the great opportunity for service
which lies before them, and spoke of
the beneficial results of the training
which they are to receive. He also
drew an eloquent picture of the effects
of the cOmmingling of American men
of all degrees of wealth and varieties
of social positions. He pointed out
that these men, who are now going to
make Americas army, will be the
statesmen and financiers of the future
The experience and training that they
will receive, and the physiological
effect of mingling with citizens OF
other nations, will do much toward
the advancement of true democracy
throughout the world. In The army,
the poor man and the rich man, the
country boy and the man Of the world
from the city, will all wear the same
uniform, and do the same work. Out
of that close association will come mu-
tual respect, liking, and a broad mind
ed tolerance which will do much to-
ward breaking down class prejudices,
and will make easier the adjustment
of disputes between capital and labor
in the future. DR.. Lewis address was
applauded in a spontaneous and en-
thusiastic manner, which showed true
appreciation of a we'll delivered, pa
triotic speech Of man who has evil
IDENTIFY done some thinking about the
war and it's effects upon our future
history"

ing of S. B. Starrett, A. y. Murray.
VIM. Cole and E. s. Taylor, then sang
Keep the Love Light Burning" and
for an encore rendered We'll Never
Let the Old Flag Fall" Both numbers
were we'll rendered, and the quartet
made a great hit with the audience"
"The people Of Oroville are to be
congratulated upon the spirit display
ed by them. The Oroville band and
male quartet were the big features of
the program"
