A SHADE OF ENCOURAGEMENT
The Railroads May Respond to the Re.
quest Of tho Ppblic for . Main
Street Crossing.

A hasty call last Friday morning
drew Q number Of business men to-
gether for the purpose Of formulating
a plan to get at the ears OF Gener>i
Superintendent J. H. O'Neill and Di-
vision Superintendent r. E. Lands.
during their sojourn in town. and urge
upon them the desirability and dire ne
cessity of q street crossing over the
railroad tracks where Main street. on
the north side butts into First street
on the south side. or would butt IN II
1t were not for the numerous paraliei's
OF steel trackage. dyke platform and
an antediluvian depot In the way to
prevent such amalgamation. The plan
decided upon was to enlist the attend
ance Of the railroad officials and hold
Ia public meeting In the library building
FIN the evening where the subject ocuid
be taken up and freely discussed. The
first move in order to carry out the
proposed interview was to secure the
consent OF the officials to meet with
the town people. Some one had to meet
the special car upon its return from
Princeton, and beard the lions In their
den. The Job was wished off ON DR..
Lewis and Elmer. They accepted the re-
|sponsibility Of mediators. as Is their
habit of stepping into the breach when
the breach needs fliling. Upon the ar
rival Of the train from Princeton the
medicos were on the spot and deliver
ed the message with which they had
been entrusted. The railroad tyees met
the delegation with great affability and
|courteously listened to the proposal.
They put q quietus upon q public meet
ing by stating that they had no author
|ity either to negotiate or make any
promises. Tho unfortunate situation at
Oroville. with only q single crossing
the entire width of the valley was rec
|ognized and deplored. They appreciated
the importance Of having the two sides
of the town linked together by pas
sable street for mutual benefit and con-
venience. but they pointed out that the
Improvement requested would put the
road to an expense Of several thousand
dollars. Still, they did not turn the
committee down cold. They promised
to take the suggestion up with still
higher authorities Of the railroad. and
II ways and means could be devised
for carrying out the wishes Of the resi-
dents of Oroville in this matter they
thought the company would even 60 to
some considerable sacrifice in order to
do so. This was q comforting report, SO
far as it reached, to carry back to the
business men for whom the doctors
were 'emissaries, and although the in
terview settled nothing definitely 1t
holds out hope that some time In the
future the town Is to have a modern
depot, and q street crossing where 1t
ought to be, and for the lack Of which
a vast amount Of profanity has been
exhausted by pedestrians compelled to
use the heretofore and present rough
and uncertain link between the NORTH
and south sides.

Judge Carey, of Ferry county, who
exchanged benches with Judge Neal
during the present term Of court, came
up from Okanogan Saturday evening
on his way to Republic, where he holds
court this week. He was to have taken
the train Monday morning. but missed
connections and had to lay over in
Oroville until Tuesday morning. Oh.
no, there Is nothing in 1t as to his hav-
ing been out with the boys. and, any
how, there is no call for having to be
out with the boys nowadays. The night
clerk at the hotel misunderstood the
Judge when he put in a call for the
$3.50 train and called him for the 7:15
train south bound. Everything came
around all right in the wash. only the
Ferry county court was one day late In
starting.

THE LAST OF THE SERIES.

The last number of the course sup
piled by the Midland Lyceum Bureau
was staged at the Orpheum last Friday
|evening with the appearance OF the
Edna Earle Crum Concert company.
That hackneyed phrase can properly
be rung in on this occasion when 1t Is
stated that the company performed to
Ia large and appreciative audience.
Indeed, the audience was the largest
that has attended any Of the numbers
|of the course, and that Is saying much
las to the size of the crowd, for no
|series of entertainments have drawn
more consistently in this place than
THE Midland course. Take them through
|out and the five attractions have been
meritorious, and none of
them more entertaining than the Edna
Earle Crum party. The party" Is made
|up Of three ladies. artists in their lines.
Miss Crum is a..violinist, and more
|skillful playing ON that king of instru-
|ments has never been heard in this
place. She Is a masterful manipulation
|of the bow, and plays the most difficult
selections with delicacy of touch that
lis marvellous. Miss Johnson has
pleasing voice and her vocal selections
covered a wide range, every number
being charmingly rendered. Miss
Claire Kvello Is an excellent accom-
PIANIST on the piano, and as reciter
has never been supposed on the local
Istage, her dialect pieces bringing down
1.-THE house. The trio found in Oroville
la warm, responsive and appreciative
audience, gluttonous in its demand for
more, and that demand was generously
Responded to. The Midland Lyceum Bu-
reau must be given credit for sending
out an excellent line of attractions,
and If the next course Is as good as
the one just ended, those who are to
furnish the entertainment must go

BASKET BALL.

This Friday evening the Oroville
high and Tonasket high basket ball
teams will 60 to 1t in the high school
gym Of this place. Our neighboring
town has developed a swift and skillful
team during the season and the aggre-
cation is worthy steel to meet up with
any team in the county. The locals will
of course go In to win, and the other
fellows will do all in their power to
prevent that consummation, for they
are coming here after the game for
themselves. The contest promises to be
interesting and exciting and there
should be a full house Of spectators,
both on account Of the fun to be ex-
|tracted from the game and the fact
that the small contribution necessary
Ito pass the portals will materially aid
the boys in meeting expenses.

Patriotic Educational Work

The splendid work of r. Dodge La
Guardia and his assistants in moulding
the foreign element at the powder
works into loyal, liberty-loving Ameri-
can citizens goes On with undated Wig
or. This work, under the auspices OF
the Foreign Branch of the Y. NJ. q. A,
is of the utmost Importance during the
present crisis in the country's affairs
and should be encouraged in every way.
Among the many special features for
the month of May, supplementing the
educational work in English and similar
studies, are an illustrated lecture, WON
ders and Beauty of Nature" on Sun
day evening, May 6. On Friday and
Saturday evenings, May 10 and IL, shut

day, 31st, Memorial Day dedication when
a musical program will be rendered by
the members of Bethel NJ. P. Church.
Outdoor sports loom largely now that
fine weather has arrived and baseball
is a daily feature at 4.30 in the after
noon.
The May program has a most interest
ing feature in the work of forming pat
riotic American sentiment in the minds
of these men. 1t is in the shape of Old
Glory with every star and stripe num-
bered to represent one of the United
States. Each numbered star has a cor
responding number on the stripe and
with it the name of a State, enabling the
men to be become familiar with their
names. Work of this nature is bound
to bring good results and is needed
at this period in our history.

Net to Catch u Boats

The steel net which is to be stretched
across the channel of the Delaware river
below Forts DUPONT, Delaware and
Mott, to bar hostile submarines in event
of war, has reached Delaware City. It
is expected that the remainder will ar
rive within a few days. The total
weight is 100000 pounds, and the mesh
is six feet.
The work of laying the net is contin-
gent upon the arrival of the big steel
cable which is to support it from buoys.
Both net and cable are being manufac-
tured by the John A. RoebEng Sons
Co, of Trenton, n. j., which built the
Brooklyn bridge and has erected simil-
ar suspension structures of wire
throughout the world.
1t is understood that the net will he
stretched across the channel just below
the forts. A gateway is to be provid-
ed by which ships passing up or down
the river will be enabled to gain en-
trance or egress, the same as in the case
of the net which has been stretched
across Ambrose channel in New York
harbor.
Close patrols will also be maintained
and it is much more than probable all
night navigation will be ordered discon-
tinued.
U. S. fishermen will catch every Ger
man sturgeon, shark or sword fish that
comes up Delaware bay.

Farm Help Needed

Newspaper publishers and farmers are
receiving much reading matter and adj
vice to increase their crops. The farm
ers are greatly in need of help and have
little sympathy for those in need of as.
sistance or the prices the consumers paw,
because the farmers work the hardest and
earn the least.
Ii the printing and clerical force now
living as tax eaters were to be turned
loose to help the farmers. there would be
hope OF relief. But then, Shake

Save Your Horses

Several horses have died in Penns
Grove and quite recently, from spinal
meningitis. and it is possible for the dis
ease to become epidemic unless precau-
tons are taken to forestall the ravages.
DIR. W. l.. LaBa a veterinary living
in Penns Grove, but not acting as yet in
any professional l capacity, volunteers
some good advice to prevent the disease.
He suggests that horse owners open
their stables to the air on bright days,
remove all decayed vegetable matter
from the building, take up board floors
and clean thoroughly underneath, max
ing the stable as clean and sanitary as
possible. Careful observation of these
simple precautions may save your
horses,
