enough to mention the movements Of
the Ivanhoe people after the contem-
plated improvement are under way
and have demonstrated to the salts
faction of all concerned that the Ivan
hoe is a mine. However,. he admitted
that he was about to construct mill,
that arrangements had been made with
S. c. Mitchell for the necessary lum-
Der and timbers. and that himself and
Mr.. Boyd were to leave for Colorado
to procure the necessary equipment.
Moreover, he stated that the cash was
in the bank to meet all costs of the con-
templated improvements, a financial
sheet anchor that operating companies
or companies that have attempted to
operate in the past, have not always
had out. Through the efforts of Mr..
POucher, J. A. Blackburn and A. E.
Simpson, interested members of the
company, sufficient funds were secur-
ed for the purpose for which the
money is now being applied, and con.
sidering the extent and character of
the ore already uncovered in the work
ings of the Ivanhoe it is felt that a
mill will put that property in line to
commence paying some returns on the
investment at not distant day.

very great Importance to the ladies of

Words and Music by Evangeline Douglass
We parted at our cottage door
I'll ne'er forget that day
Good bye, dear mother" said my boy
II go to war away
My country calls and l must go
Though parting is such pain
God keep you till the war is ore
And l come home again"
Though bitter was the FartinS there,
l loved my boy so true;
Go, guard your country's flag" | said
THE Red, the White, and Blue"
Refrain
Far across the ocean blue
Sailed my soldier boy
Though we miss the boy from home
These words give me joy:
Mother dear, l love you, though I'm fan
God Keep you till the war is oer
And l come home some day
I'm standing at our cottage door
No loved form l see
The boy l love is far away
Across the rolling sea.
These are the words he writes to me
They are the battle cry
"I'll do my duty, mother dear
My duty, live or die!
He does, my hero soldier BOY,
Leads in the awful fight,
He bears our colors floating high,
The Red, the Blue and White.
Beneath the sunny skies of France,
o! Soldier Boy so brave,
May vict'ry go before the flag
Where ere your banners wave
While we on bended knee at home
Breathe prayer at morn and night
That God will guard you, lead you safe
From out the awful fight.
Victorious may "Old Glory" float
Above your proud young head
Till home you bear our colors fair,
The White, the Blue and Red.

II you can handle the following to
any advantage, or if worthy of your
approval, you are at liberty to publish
the same.
There seems to be some dissatisfac-
ton among some of the farmers re-
garding the action of the business men
at Oroville concerning the creamery.
l wish to say that / individually en-
dorse their action in supporting the
creamery. l know that some farmers
question the integrity Of the creamery
man, Mr.. Friis. will say that l went
through that stage myself. I tested
him out possibly very much the same
way some are doing now but didn't
tell our store keepers that l would
quit them for his action. went to Mr..
Friis himself and demanded an expla-
nation. 1t proved satisfactory. Its the
same explanation that you will get
from every creamery. 1t is simply the
overrun, in which shall not 60 into
details, as any one who is so interested
can get that explained by our cream
cry man, much better than can. Now,
shall say further that after had this
explanation it seemed hard pill to
take, but in time realized that could
spend my time more profitably in other
ways about my ranch than making
butter and peddling it around town, or
imposing upon the feelings Of our
store keepers by asking them to take it
off my hands.
I feel that this creamery is ours, the
farmers, to keep up. Whether we are
delivering cream or not 1t is furnishing
a livlihood for some farmers, and that
gives some of the others time to spec
ialize in something else.
Now, that we have possibility of a
flour mill at Oroville it is up to the
farmers to get behind both of these
propositions and make them our indus
tries. They are ours If We make them
so, and they will build up and grow
in proportion to our support and quail
ity of material we supply. will add
that think each farmer should, If he
possibly can, investigate the flour mill
proposition and il possible take a
share or more.

WORTHY ORGANIZATIONS,

In another column is published an
interesting letter from Joe Tall, for
merly with F. v. Covert. While here,
and especially the last few weeks, Mr..
Tall was ken to get into some branch
Of the military service. He spoke of his
desire frequently, and at last served
notice upon Mr.. Covert to secure an
other assistant as he intended to en-
list. His ambition at the time was to
get into the heavy artillery, but SUBJ
sequently he took up the aero branch,
as his letter goes to show. But the par
ticular part of this letter which we
wish to call attention to is his refer
ence to the great WORK being done by
the Y. M. c. A., and the Red Cross.
About all the letters received from the
boys in the service are written on sta
tionery supplied free by the Y. M. C.
A. This organization maintains halls
in every camp and cantonment, sup
plying quarters where the enlisted
men are as free and welcome as they
would be in their own homes. The good
that this society has done and is doing
for the soldier boys is far beyond any
thing that the civilian at home can con-
ceive of. 1t furnishes entertainments
and comforts for the boys that other
wise they would never be able to en-
JOY and their quarters being open at
all times tend to keep the soldiers
when off duty out of mischief. Then the
noble work of the Red Cross is beyond
praise. Their grand organization has
proved a first aid in supplying COM
forts in the way Of clothing without
which there would have been much
suffering outside of the mission of
mercy in the hospitals. Mr.. Tails story
OF how the Red Cross came to the
boys on Christmas, when quarantine
prevented them from getting out to
celebrate that holiday, is most touch
ing. This evidence should be an incen-
tive for every man and woman to GO
to the limit Of their resources to help
out both the Red Cross and Y. M. C.
A. A dollar could not be put to a bet
ter use, and when one is yielding up
that dollar he knows it is going to

patriotic young citizen Quinton Wilson
responded to the call of his country for

He died in the service of that country

heaven, for we firmly believe that no
man is surer of eternal joy than he
who has given up his life that his

One of the first of the Okanogan
county boys who has given his life in
the service of his country is Quinton
A. Wilson, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.
Wilson, of Okanogan. Young Wilson
did not give up his life in the heat of
fight, but no less is he to be credited
as a victim of the war. Had he lived,
he would have done credit to the
American name wherever his SERVES
might have been called for, but it was
his misfortune to be taken sick in New
York, when his regiment was on it's
way to France. He was compelled to
undergo an operation in military
hospital. The young man succumbed
to the effects of that operation. The re-
mains were shipped back to the be-
reaved family, and the dead soldier
was buried at Okanogan last week
with military honors.
