Minute Women are streaming in from
all over the country and the willing
ness or ratehr eagerness to serve ex-
pressed in them is an inspiration.
They have gathered together small
bands of women who are willing to
Sacrifice their own comfort and ease
and bend all their energies toward
accomplishing any task given them
by the Defense Council. The minute
word is received from Washington,
the Captains are notified and the work
commences everywhere. The longer
the war keeps up the more useful this
organization is likely to become. If the
county women were registered, each
card showing the kind of patriotic SER
vice preferred, a much larger amount
of work could be completed. 1t is u
suggestion that ought to be seriously
considered and it could easily be car
ried out by the County Council Of De-
fense with the aid of the Minute WO-
men. There is no question but what
each should do what she is best fitted
for and no one should be allowed to
escape without doing her fair share.
There are, undoubtedly, many efficient
and patriotic women who are either
too diffident to step forward and offer
themselves or who have not yet awak-
ened to the real need of their services.
In the meantime, until the women of
the country are registered, let us all
offer to do everything in our power
even il it is only the making of one
bandage for the Red Cross, it is SER
vice well worth offering.

A GREAT TRAVELLER.

Hon. Hans Lund, of Kansas City,
came in last Friday evening on one Of
his frequent visits. Mr.. Lund has a
warm spot in his heart for the Okla
hogan country. He has large invest
ments in the county, and has never
had occasion to regret taking chance
on those investments. Mr.. Lund is one
of the most persistent travellers in the
country, and is constantly on the wing
He has made many trips across seas,
having made one such trip even after
the breaking out of the great European
war, and naturally from his experience
at home and abroad, Is most enter
tanning conversationalist. He has Wis
tied every point of interest in Europe.
In speaking of Russia he says that he
has met with more courtesy and
hospitality in the Russian country
than anywhere he has ever visited, and
while there is much ignorance among
the peasantry and working classes he
believes that when conditions are fin
ally adjusted on a stable basis Russia
will take it's place among the nations
of the earth as very important factor
in the brotherhood of nations. He does
not anticipate that the present anar-
chistic government will continue in
power. Besides being globe trotter
Nj. Lund has not overlooked the coun-
try of his adoption. He has visited ev-
cry state in the Union, and those Wis
it's have been frequent. Since leaving
here last August Mr.. Lund has spent
most of his time on the Atlantic coast
from Connecticut to Washington, D. c.
He mingles with men in high statioo
and of intelligence and receives first
hand information upon public and
commercial affairs. He is outspoken in
his denunciation of the methods en-
ployed by the Germans in conducting
the war, and looks for the downfall of
the militarist powers of that country

HOME ON A FURLOUGH.

VIII Cole arrived home~iast Thurs
day evening on a furlough of only a
few days duration from the naval
training camp at San Francisco to Wis
it his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George |.
Cole. 1t was expected that both of the
boys, William and Charles, would be
home for the holidays, but, unfortu-
nately, only one of them could secure
leave of absence, so they tossed heads
or tails in order to decide which one
should enjoy the pleasure of home 60
ing. The chance fell to Will, and
appointed that both could not be here
at the same time, the coming of one
son was made the occasion of a happy
time at the Cole homestead. The young
man appeared among us in his sailor
uniform, which was quite becoming
Mr. Cole is the first sailor to appear
upon our streets since war was de-
clared and he was the cynosure of all
eyes as well as receiving hearty well
come from his old friends and acquain-
tances. Mr.. Cole reports that he is in
love with the service and nothing
could induce him to give it up. The
Cole boys are in the radio branch Of
the navy that has charge of the wire
less system. The latter part of January
they will be sent by the government
to Harvard college to take intensive
training for five months before enter
ing active service. Those boys will
make an enviable record in the United
States navy.

LARGE REAL ESTATE DEAL,

One of the heaviest real estate and
personal property deals that has taken
place in the northern part of the
county, probably excepting the trans
fer of the Vic Champneys property in
the Similkameen valley, was consum-
mated Monday when A. o. Spencer,
living short distance south of Oro-
Vile, on the west side of the Okanogan
river sold his real estate holdings con-
sisting of 700 acres of land, consider
able of which is Immediately in the
valley, with all of his stock and 9TH
er personal property. The purchaser is
l.. F. Mcdonald, who bought the Vim.
keeler place about year ago. The
consideration has not been made pub
lie, but the figures run we'll up into the
thousands. Mr.. Spencer is pioneer
resident of the valley, and his home is
one of the we'll known places in this
vicinity. Although Mr. and Mrs. Spen-
Ger departed for southern California
Immediately after the final transfer to
spend the winter, Mr.. Spencer inform
ed us that 1t was not his intention to
depart the Okanogan country. When
he left it was his intention to return in
the spring. Mr.. Mcdonald has secured
an excellent place, besides consider
able number of cattle. He is an in
dustrious and progressive citizen and
a valuable addition to the population
of this upper country

A SUDDEN SWELL.

The Similkameen river, confined to
a narro wchannel, with considerable
fall throughout its length and it's
head waters high up in the mountains
is subject to sudden fluctuations in
volume, and any heavy rain or quick
thaw through the instrumentality of
warm rains or chinooks sends the wa
ter up whooping. One of the strang-
est and most freekish increase in VOL
ume was that of Sunday evening, when
the water raised seven feet in two
hours, commencing at o'clock. One
OF the consequences of the quick swell
was the lnuffing out of the electric
lights, leaving the town in utter dark
ness until II o'clock. The sharp rise
filled teh turbine pits with ice, choking
them, and Manager Hedger and his
force could do nothing to remedy the
condition until the rushing water had
honeycombed the clogged ice so it
could be broken out The river was at
its lowest stage at the time of the in
crease in the flow and Mr.. Hedger
fears that the ruch of water and ice
has damaged the wing dam that de-
fleets water into the pits. If that
should prove to be the case he Is go
ing to have trouble making the wheels
revolve when the river resumes its
normal condition.

WHERE DIETING WON OUT.

Arthur Lund, head of the banks at
Tonasket, Loomis and Riverside, came
up from Tonasket last Friday evening
to meet his father, Hon. Hans Lund,
who arrived the same evening from
his home at Kansas City. At the close
of the year of 1917 Mr. Lund is a
much different looking man than he
was at the beginning of the old year.
The truth is that Mr. Lund was rather
edicted to pertaking Of the good things
of life in the way of provender, and in
consequence had taken on vast
amount Of superfluous flesh, much to
the detriment of his health. He was
bulky to an alarming degree, soft and
flabby. After being examined by an
eminent physician at Kansas City,
where he was visiting, he was advised
that If he did not wish to shorten his
days in the land that the Lord had
given him, he had better 60 on a
strict diet. Mr.. Lund followed the ad-
vice and has stuck to it. The change
wrought in the appearance of tie
young man within a twelve month is
simply marvellous. He looks as though
he had shrunken at least one hundred
pounds, his complexion is clear and
healthy and he is as hard as nails.
The pleasing transformation is worth
the sacrifice he made of good eats.

AN ECLIPSE.

Sunday evening the electric lights
suddenly went on the blink and the
town was in darkness until midnight,
an hour at which lights did mighty
few of the inhabitants any good, any,
how. An over dose of ice at the power
plant was the cause of the eclipse.
Householders were compelled to fall
back on the candle and coal oil lamp,
and those primitive means of illum-
ination could hardly burn hole in the
blackness. 1t requires an experience
of this kind to make the public fully
appreciate the modern means of light
ing. The presence of the candle car
ried the memory of some of us older
people back 60 years when people had
to depend for light at night on whale
oil lamps, tallow candles, the tallow
dip, the open fireplace and other
makeshifts that lighted only a very
small fraction of room, leaving the
balance of the apartment in almost
total darkness. In this single matter
of illumination the people of the
present day cannot possibly realize
the inconvenience that people labored
under so years ago. The experience of
Sunday evening gave the residents of
Oroville slight idea of those incon-
veniences.

and have noticed similar letters in our
exchanges. In one of these letters
published elsewhere in this issue the
recipient expresses direct thanks to
Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Gregg. The fact is
that Mr.. and Mrs. Gregg furnished the
contents of the box that the young
soldier refers to, and placed their
names therein, but the box was for
warded through the local Red Cross
society, it being one of 30 or 40 SIM
liar Red Cross Christmas boxes sent
from Oroville by the society to the
boys in the service. No matter what is
said by those who do not, or will not
understand the great work being done
by the Red Cross, for the purpose Of
belittering the patriotism of the wo-
men of the land who work through
that instrumentality, the Red Cross
carries more comfort, more encour-
agement, more assistance to the boys
in the army and navy than any single
factor that is engaged in carrying on
the war to a successful issue. God
bless the Red Cross, say we, and so
say thousand upon thousands of SOL
diers and sailors all over the earth,
every soldier and sailor in the
service who has any sense of appre-
citation.

FREIGHTING SALTS.

The Stewart Calvert company has
completed plans for starting the salts
drive for 1918 in a whirlwind cam
paign. AS the local public is aware the
Stewart Calvert company secured an
option, lease or some kind of freehold,
that did not prove to be as tight
freehold as was expected, on the salts
lake situated a short distance west OF
Oroville, some two years ago. and pro-
ceeded to put up works on the railroad
| just west of town, laid pipes from the
lake to the works to convey the fluid
contents of that singular freak Of ma
ture in the way of an EPSON salts de-
post, where process OF evapora-
tion was installed. Besides utilizing
the water as source from which to
derive the product, force of men was
constantly employed removing the
solid salts that had accumulated for
centuries A market was builded up in
the east and shipments in car load
lots have been going steadily along
ever since the company took over the
property. AS is generally the case
when some enterprising individual or
combination of individuals takes hold
of dead proposition and commences
building up paying proposition liti-
cation developed. AS to the inside mer-
it's Of the case and controversy, that Is
something for the courts to adjust.
and is outside of the province of this
article. Anyhow, after an important
enterprise had reached to the point
of profit the law stepped in and so far
as the local lake is concerned the erst-
while busy scene was transformed in
to a condition of nothing doing.
Fortunately for the Stewart-Calvert
company after the expenditure Of so
much money in improvements 1t was
not necessary to close down the works,
discharge the large force of workmen
and go out of business. There is an
other salts lake on the other side Of
the international boundary similar In
every respect to the one near Oroville,
and when the company arranged to
take over the lake on this sid of the
line they purchased outright the lake
in British Columbia. 1t is from that
source the necessary salts Is being
extracted to keep the works in opera
tion and to supply the demand in the
markets. 1t is necessary to haul the
salts from the British Columbia lake
to the works near Oroville, and for
that purpose motor trucks have been
used. A small number Of these trucks
have been hauling salts at irregular
intervals during the fail and winter.
but beginning Monday, the company
has added to the string Of motor ve-
hicles until there are now nine big
trucks on the road delivering salts at
the works. AS the supply Is practically
|inexhaustable the procession of vehtc-
les will be on the job indefinitely.

TO RAISE THE SIPHON.

When the big siphon that crosses
school house, the connecting link be-
tween the fumes and the bitches Of
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
system, was put in, it was the general
impression that the skeleton bridge
upon which the siphon rests was en-
high water records of the past. The
directors of the district have watched
the siphon in the spring months with
a great deal of apprehension, and this
fall it was decided to Obviate all
danger of a washout, a calamity that
would put the greater portion Of the
system entirely out Of service, by rails
ing the siphon three feet. Guthrie &
Co., the original contractors Of the sys-
tenn, took the contract for doing the
work and the change will be made
during the winter. Indeed, false work
has already been put in, but portion
of the lumber was taken out and piled
on the bank of the river, from fear
that floating ice would wreck the en-
tire structure. Sunday evening when
the directors were notified by Mr..
Hedger, local manager Of the power
plant, of the sudden rise in the river.
q force of men were at once rushed
to the siphon and the salvage Of the
lumber and timbers commenced. BY
the time the men were assembled, so
rapid was the raise of the water, they.
had to work in the water, which was
almost to the top of hip boots. BY a
great deal of exertion all of the lum-
Der was saved and watch was placed
upon the bridge to guard against dam
age that might occur from drift.

INCONVENIENCES OF TRAVEL.

Sheriff Clair Ward spent Sunday in
Oroville. The officer did not come to
Oroville especially to spend the Sab
bath, it was matter of necessity and
not of choice. Two inmates of the re-
fcrmatory at Monroe, on the west side
OF the state, were needed as witnesses
in the Be injury case, Ben coming on
soon for trial on a charge of appro-
priating horseflesh which was the
property Of another rancher, and the
sheriff had to 60 to Monroe after them.
These witnesses are Geo. Haynes and
Wolfred Label. Getting home after
getting his witnesses was the problem
that confronted Sheriff Ward, and
making the trip required long around
bout journey via Spokane and Oroville
to Okanogan, with the necessity of
hanging up here from Saturday even
ing until Monday morning. Sheriff
Ward reports the railroad situation on
the west side of the mountains in a
most demoralized condition, bridges
washed out, tracks under water,
slides, caves and everything generally
out of joint. No trains are running
over the Great Northern across the
mountains, the Northern, Pacific track
is out of commission and the trains of
that road are routed over the Milwau-
kee. The sheriff and his men had to
travel over the Milwaukee. Even that
road is far from being in a state of
efficiency. A section of the bridge
across the Snohomish river is washed
out, and the connecting link between
the two portions of the bridge still en-
tract is only the swaying rails and
ties. Passengers had to be transferred
from one train to another at that
point. Mr.. Ward says that the rail-
road people have no idea when normal
transportation conditions will be re-
stored, but from every indication the
general tie up will continue for some
weeks. Not a pleasant outlook for the
government authorities now in con-
troll of all transportation lines.
