Mrs. Josephine Prosser, aged 63
years, 10 months and days, died at
the home of her son-in-law, Stuart
Mutch, few miles south of Oroville,
Monday night, after long illness.
The deceased was born in Allamaker
Der of years ago. She is spoken OF
by those who knew her as woman
of beautiful christian character, a de-
voted mother and a loveable friend
and neighbor. AS she has been an
invalid since coming to the valley her
acquaintance was confined to the i'm
mediate neighbors in the valley. All
extend sympathy to the family in the
great loss they have experienced.
C. o. Sterling, who has had charge
of the train between Oroville and
Princeton, as conductor for several
years, has been transferred at his
own request, to the run between Mar
Gus and Hillyard. In material way
this is much more to the advantage
of Mr. Sterling, as the salary on the
new run will be much in excess Of
that on the run he has been making.
The only feature of the change that
the friends of Mr.. Sterling can OBJ
iect to is that by the transfer he g
taken from Oroville. While, they re-
gret losing him as a member OF the
community they will extend congratu-
lations that he has the opportunity to
better his financial condition. W. B.
Wallace will have charge Of the
Princeton train until permanent as
signment is made.
The pole line from the Oroville
! Copper company's mine, on Kruger
| pleted last week to the power plant
at the falls of the Similkameen, and
| the wire will be strung this week.
| Whether the power company can meet
the increased demand for juice Is yet
a problem, but it would seem that 1t
would be a business-like investment
| for the company If provisions were
made at once for enlarglng the out
put of the plant. There Is plenty of
water power running to waste, and no
stream in the state can be more easily
handled for the development OF pow
er. If the numerous mining PROPOSE
tons now under way in this locality
reach the point where power Is needed
the present plant will be wholly In
adequate to supply that energy.

The little Improvement made on the
south side of the track by the laying
~ a block of cement sidewalk on the
main business street. has worked d
most noticeable transformation anu
tba Improvement is not only appreci-
ated by the public generally but Is
looked upon with a vast amount Oh
nride and satisfaction by the abutting
property owners. who now feel as
though the walk should have been put
IN half a dozen years ago. The ce-
mont has been put down under the
direction of ]. F. Snyder. of Okanogah'
and from the character of the work
manship it is plainly evident that Mr.
SNYDER is a most competent workman
in that line. Now If the walks on the
east side of the street could be con-
etructed it would add very materially
n the appearance of that business
thoroughfare.

CRUELTY AFFLICTED

Sunday morning the second child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hazelhurst,
aged about six years, died at the
Oroville General hospital from ptom-
aine poison. This is very sad blow
to the parents, as they lost a child
fro mthe same cause only few days
before the death of the second child.
There is still younger child in the
hospital suffering from the same af-
Fiction, and in very precarious con-
dition. The funeral of the little ones
was held at Torasket, where the par
ents are residing. Just what the
children ate to cause ptomaine poison
ing is not known. 1t was reported
that they had eaten canned salmon,
but Mr. Hazelhurst states that there
was no canned salmon opened at his
home. This double affliction coming
upon the family is a very severe blow,
and has aroused the sympathy of all
who know the parents. The little
ones were bright, pretty children, the
| idols of the bereaved parents. 1t is
earnestly hoped that the youngest OF
the family may be spared.

1t is said that two new greenbacks,
81 and 50 bills, issued by the Federal
Reserve Bank, are now in circulation
They must circulate some distance
away, as none of them have been seen
about this shop.
The weather was not prime for
hunting Sunday, yet there was a no
ticeable decrease in church attend
ance presumably on account OF the
fact that many were out securing the
country in quest of birds.

Only few people turned out to
the meeting held at the Civic League
building Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of organizing local Council of
Defense. Those few were in earnest
in the object of the meeting and took
the preliminary steps for such Or
ganization by naming a committee of
five that will select additional COM
mitteemen from town and the ad-
jacent country to carry on such war
work as is deemed necessary by the
state organization The committee
selected was composed of DR.. D. II
Lewis, j. F. Samson, W. f. Grant, w
A. CRUDE and F. NJ. Dallam.

Rev. C. C. Tibbetts of MontviIIe
 Speaker at Men's Gathering.

Rev. c. C. Tibbetts of Montvi1le was the speaker at the nen's meeting at the Y. M. c. A. on Sunday afternoon.
 The speaker selected for his topic, Never let the old Flag fali," and he told of color bearer in the Civil war, who when shot endeayored to hold himself and the flag up. but was about to fall with the colors when another soldier sprang forward and grabbed the flag, and exultant shouted. She never touched the ground. The speaker said that while we are fight ing for the flag, for democracy and for principle, there is something funda- mental to which we must give heed, wis: God. Christ and the Church. If we leave God out of the question we cannot expect to win the battle for democracy nor can we expect to properly honor the flag.
 While we are not all lover there'' we are all really in the front line trenches. the battle here is in sense as fierce as it is lover there.p Taere they are fighting against furious as- saults by shot and shell, while here we are fighting for righteousness and against sin and we shall be victors only as WR taizA Cod into larga con.

Federated Church Exceeds Appertion
 ment.

Sunday collection was taken up at the Third Baptist church which joined with the North Main Street Methodist church to form the Feder- ated church for the fund of one mill lion dollars which is being raised by the National Council of Northern Baptists for War Work. Edward Mes singer of the First Baptist church was present and outlined the work which the Council is trying to carry out. The Baptist church is raising this money to carry on work in the communities near the army and navy centers where the overflow from the Y. M. c. A. must be cared for in the smaller churches Many of these churches have had stheif congregations doubled or trebled by this sudden inrushe of men from the service. The apportionment for the Third Baptist church was $45 but the voluntary contributions amounted to about s75. This sum includes several contributions from the Methodist mem bers of the church.
