A DELICATE OPERATION

Friday last Dr. d. II. Lewis per-
formed one of the most delicate Oper-
ations that has ever been performed
in the county, and one rare in the
practice of surgery. Some months
ago Mrs. Adam Nideck, living in the
hill country east Of Riverside, took
umbrage at her husband for refusing
TO drive her over to Republic and took
shot at him with 22-caliber rifle.
Nideck caught the bullet where the
chicken gets the ak. He was taken
TO the hospital at Riverside and for
time his life hung in the balance.
Finally he recovered but his left side
was paralyzed. Last Friday Nideck
came to Oroville to consult DR.. Lewis.
The doctor put him under the X-rays
and a photograph discovered the bul-
LET lodged in the channel OF the back
bone between the third and fourth
vertebra. The doctor operated upon
the patient Friday, chiselling into the
vertebra and removing the bullet
which was twisted out OF shape from
coming in contact with the bone Al
present writing Nideck is not only
we'll on the way to recovery, but every
indication leads the doctor to pelleVe
that he will recover the use Of his
left arm and leg. 1t was a wondcr-
ful operation and cure and greatly 10
the credit of DR.. Lewis.

ONE OF THE BRAVES

Jakey Watson. of Loomis, or rather
the world at large, was in town
Tuesday. The last time We saw Mr..
Watson he was quite kid knocking
around the old mining camp. That
was a decade or more ago. Great
changes have taken place since those
days. Watson has grown up very
manly man, and he has played man s
part in the great tragedy that has
made or wrecked so many young men
during the past four years. When the
war broke out young Watson enlisted
in a Canadian regiment and was sent
to France. He saw nineteen months
service, and it was such service rs
few of the over seas contingents
passed through. He was at Vimy
Ridge, a name that has shed glory
upon the Canadian name that time
can never efface, and many other
hard battles. He returns home brok-
en- in health, Though outwardly look
ing strong and well. He was vic
tim of that refined cruelty, poison
gas, and also suffered shell shock
that split the drum Of his right ear,
besides sustaining several slight
wounds. Jake Watson takes his pnu-
ishment without whimper. He ex-
poets to move to Oroville and make
this place his home.

holes, where many poor unfortunate
probably ended his days in hopeless
solitary confinement. The cliff upon
which the fortress was built stands
out alone, separated from the other
high land by deep ravine to which
previously referred. and rising on
the river side two or three hundred
feet above the town. Near one of the
outer defense towers is the entrance
to cavern, which, it is said, former
ly gave egress to the country, a means
| OF bringing in supplies in case of
siege. We climbed down into it and
explored with pocket flash light as

good in those comfortless days.
After doing the chateau and
grounds we returned to the town and
wandered through it's narrow streets,
the objects of nearly as much curios-
ity to the inhabitants as their habita-
tions were to us, as few Americans
had been before u.s. But later we
shared the. distinction with an, Ameri-

BOOSTING MUTTON

.. ii. Vail, representing the Stand.
heid brothers, Of Oregon, the largest
sheep raisers and shippers in the
united States, has been in Oroville
ueilng the past week. Mr.. Vail is in
the county for the purpose of interest
ing farmers in the raising of sheen.
mat Is he is not here to encourage
the placing Of large bands, rs the
range is becoming limited and there
is no encouragement for going into
the sheep industry on an extensive
scale, but he believes every farmer
should have at least a few head of
sheep on his place. and that is the
only solution of the gradually decrcas-
ing wool and mutton production of
the country. Almost every farmer can
handle, raise and care for from five
to twenty-five head of sheen, and il
this would become the general prac
tice the present shortage OF those ami
mails would soon be made up. Sheep
can be handled at little expense and
they can be made a source o. consid-
cradle revenue. Wool is certain to
command at least so cents per pound
for the next two years or more. and
with the limited quantity for the mar
ket mutton is certain to remain a
good price. Mr.. Vail is in a position
to make attractive propositions to
faHners and no doubt he will interest
many of them in the proposition.

END OF DAILY BULLETINS

From on or about March 21st. when
the country was in state Of almost
suspended animation over the news
that was suddenly flashed over the
wires that Germany had started
tremendous drive toward Paris. and
the allies were rapidly giving way
under the terrific blows of the enemy.
up to and including Sunday. daily
bulletins have been received at this
place with hardly a break. People
were so interested in the European
situation that they flocked to the
bulletin daily. and although the re-
ports received were confined to only
few lines they gave some Idea In
advance of the situation on the battle
front. AS the armistice Is In force
with suspension of hostilities and
peace is sure to follow there 10 no
longer any object in taking these
daily reports, and they will be sus-
pended unless some complication
should arise wherein 1t would be
necessary to again resort to arms.
curing these reports, although a great
satisfaction when once obtained, for
the telephone service has so often
been congested that one had to wait
for an hour or more at times to secure
service between Orovllle and We
natchee. No one has been to blame
for this compulsory wait, the busi-
ness of the line being too great for
single wire to handle expeditiously.
Now that the service Is over we
wish to take this means to express
our thanks and appreciation to the
Wenatchee World and especially to
Mr.. w. e. Trimble, editor Of that pa
per, for his kind and prompt response
to every request for news. We know
at times when he must have been busy
this daily call worked considerable
Of an inconvenience, but in all these
months he has answered the wire
without a protest, indeed cheerfully
and courteously. Early in the be-
ginning of the service we learned to
know the favorable news by the
gloom that was in his voice, and lat
ter, when things were coming our
way. it was easy to anticipate some-
thing good by the ring in the first
words that came over the wire. It
was like daily visit with the gentle
man during the past several months,
and it will take some time to adjust
ourselves to the new conditions
wherein that daily voice Is missed.

The American people work them
selves into vast amount of excite
ment over an election, but that cX-
citement is merely momentary and in
a day or two they get back to normal
and business goes along as though
nothing had happened.

paid for the routing out.
