tally before the advent of the railroad,
very extensive underground work was
done on the property, during which
large ore deposits were opened up.
Then there was a lull in development,
and for years the property has been
idle. The ore is largely of silver
lead character, and there are shoots
that run high in those metals, in addi-
tion to which there is an extensive
quantity of low grade ore. With the
ruling price for lead and silver there
seems no reason why the Ruby should
not be made to pay. and pay well.

LOSING A GOOD CITIZEN.

Next week Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. I. Cole
and family leave their ranch short
distance north of Orovi.le and go TO
st. John, Whitman county, where they
are to make their future home, Mr..
Cole having recently sold his place to
W. w. Loomis, of st. John who with
his -n-law, will soon take posses
sion of their new purchase.
1t is with feelings of the most
sincere regret that we announce the
departure of the Cole family. Mr.. Cole
came to this locality some seven years
ago from Whitman county, having
purchased the ranch he has just sold
from Fred Finsen. He added to his
holdings, and put in much labor AID
money improving the property. i'e
soon won the confidence anil esteem of
the people of Oroville by his upright
dealings and sterling worth Although
his place required all his time, his
neighbors insisted upon his taking
part in affairs of a public nature, and
his aid and assistance were sought as
a IOdu Dulluti nv 10 'Si'
proficient and he was further called
upon to act as school director and also
on the board of directors of the irriga -
ton system, and in both positions his
ideas and advice proved to be very
valuable.
Not only Mr.. Cole, but his erti"e
family will be previously missed. Mrs
Cole has large circle of warm friends
who will deplore her departure. The
sons and daughter have been consist
ent attendants at the school, taking an
active part in social affairs. They are
people whom to know is to like and
the vacancy they will leave Will be
hard to fill. The very best wishes for
their welfare. and future good fortune
goes out to them from all in this COM
munity who know the family.

TO COMMENCE SHIPPING.

Monroe Harman, manager OF the
Ruby mine. located a few miles west
of Oroville, near the foot of Mount
Chopaka, was in town Tuesday and in
formed us that a force of men would
be put to work Monday and regular
ore shipments commence to the Gran
bv smelter The ore will be sorted and
only the highest grade shipped at this
time.
The renewal of activity at the Ruby
will be good news to those familiar
with the mine. The Ruby is one Of the
oldest holdings in the Similkameen
valley, and in years past, and espec-

and trouble of loading cars. This diff
ficulty has been remedied through the
efforts of Mr.. Prentice, who was able
to personally interview the division
superintendent of the road at this
place. Mr.. Prentice informs us that
the superintendent instructed him to
put up platform and the permit
would come along later, and also
promised that cars should be forth
coming at once. Mr.. Pretice says that
car load of ore can be delivered
daily, and from the reports reaching
here from the mine, the ore supply is
sufficient to keep up the shipments
indefinitely. 1t would appear as
though the Copper World Extension
operators were solving the problem
of producing mine for northern Okla
hogan county.

1t gives us pleasure to present this
week picture of the celebrated Oro-
vile band. 1t is an organization that
has won a reputation throughout
north central Washington as one of
the very best small town bands in the
west, and naturally, the people of the
town are exceptionally proud of it. A
few enthusiastic resident musicians
have belonged to this band for a num-
ber of years, and around that small
nucleus new membess have assem-

bled from time to time and by earnest
effort and consistent practice have
perfected themselves upon the various
instruments manipulated The picture
does not contain all of the older mem
bers, for owing to removal and other
causes several of the original stand
bys have dropped out of the ranks.
Not alone has Orovile enjoyed the
performances of this band. The ser-
vices of the organization in past years
have been in demand in many places

and entered the service. Others have
moved to new fields making serious
reductions in the ranks of the organi
zation. 1t is devoutly hoped by all the
citizens of the town that ways and
means may be devised to keep up the
band. Its elimination would be SER
ious loss to Oroville, for it is not only
an important asset to the town, but a
source of a great deal of pleasure to
the people, and especially indispen-
sible on public occasions.

VISITING In CITY
Former Congressman and Ambassa.
dor to Russia Is Candidate for
Convention Delegate.

Major Clifton R. Breckenridge, who
formerly owned a plantation in JET
ferson county, but now residing at
Fort Smith, is spending a few daYs
here visiting his kinswoman, Mrs. G..
F. Moore.
Major Breckenridge has been per-
suaded to become a candidate for
delegate at large to the constitutional
convention, and his friends here hope
to see him selected by large ma
jority, because they realize that he
would be one of the most valuable
men to be obtained for the duty.
Formerly congressman, Major
Breckenridge became recognized as a
leader in the national capital, and
campaigned with Ogden Mills AMI
other men of nationwide fame IN
advocacy of the gold standard. Later
he was sent as ambassador to Russia,
and there also he served his country
creditably.
Because of his broad experience
his long association with the leaders
in the nation and his own ability,
Major Breckenridge is recognized as
one ideally qualified to aid in franz
ing Arkansas new organic law.

Military TRAINING
BY Luke Grant.


Some who favor the principle Of
universal military training and SER
vice, object to the compulsory fea-
lures of the bills which have been in
troduced in congress dealing with the
subject. Both the Chamberlain bill
and the army staff bill provide that
the training shall be obligatory on all
who are physically fit, with some ex-
ceptions made for those who are the
sole support Of a family.
The volunteer system is based on
discrimination and inequality. It OPP
ems the way to graft and favortism
and is utterly undemocratic. 1t al
ways has failed in, crisis, rendering
CONSUMPTION necessary. Still there are
some who favor the volunteer system
because of their aversion to anything
that is compulsory.
Such reasoning is entirely fallac-
ious, as must be apparent if the sub
ject is given serious thought. On ev-
cry side we see compulsion in our
daily life. In fact without compul-
sion we would not have order but
chaos. Suppose the payment of taxes
was made voluntary, could we raise
sufficient revenue to meet the expen-
ses of government Of course we
could not. We're the education of his
children optional with the citizen,
would we have the splendid educa-
tional system which we now have?
Would not many send their children
into the fatories instead of the
schools?
How effective would be our factory
laws if they were not compulsory?

NIVEN Announces
FOR DELEGATE TO
THE CONVENTION

Representative D. B. Niven, one Of
Pine Bluffs and Jefferson county's
most progressive, most prominent
and most widely known residents and
business men, last night made formal
announcement of his candidacy for
delegate to the constitutional coa-
vention.
Mr.. Niven has been mentioned by
his friends for some time past as a
man we'll qualified to act for the peo-
pie in this important matter, but not
until yesterday was he prevailed upon
to make the race. Even then he adj
mitted that the particular reason why
he consented was that his father,
John Niven, was a member of the
last constitutional convention and he
would be proud of the honor of fol-
lowing in his fathers footsteps in
this regard as in others.

Would our health and fire prevention
laws be effective if their observance

Would our health and fire prevention
laws be effective if their observance
was voluntary? Laws are enacted for
the protection of society and must be
compulsory to be effective.
Why should the defense of the ma
ton, the most important of all things
in the life of a people, be left optional
with the citizen? Why should pen
atty be placed upon patriotism? That
is exactly what the volunteer sys-
tenn does. All citizens claim equal
protection under the flag, and all
should do their share to defend it.
That is the only democratic system
Democracy means the rule of the ma
jority and the service of all.
When we hear men speak of COM
pulsory service as being undemocratic,
it shows that they have not given the
subject serious thought, or that they
are incapable of serious thinking
Universal military training and SER
ton of citizenship. The rich and the
vice on exactly equal terms, as they
claim equal protection.
This principle is recognized by the

ed in the declaration issued by the Of

test.
The crimson hosed tribe outbatted
the warriors from. the town which is
famous for its baby carriages and
informed German merchant vessels,
but the Dodgers went off with VIC
tory perched upon their shoulders,
due to Johnsons single and Fabri-
que's triple in the sixth round of a
hard-fought contest that was not
definitely decided until the third man
was put out in the final half of the
ninth round.
Little Rock fans enjoyed some
thing of an innovation in this section,
in that each Of the players of the
two big league clubs carried num-
Der on the sleeve Of his jacket, this
number corresponding with his num-
Der and name on the printed score

the stands. AS result, every fan
could tell exactly who was who, as
the game progressed, and there was
never any indecision as to the ident-
