ARMENIAN RELIEF FUND.

Mrs. F. B. Nance and her corps of
able assistants have succeeded in
making neat little collection for the
Armenian sufferers, but the work OF
mercy has just commenced and will
be continued so long as a dollar can
be raised for that worthy purpose. The
funds are remitted directly through the
national Red Cross society, so there
can be no question but that the money
will be applied directly to the object
for which it has been subscribed. Mrs.
Nance desires to express her thanks
to those who have so far contributed
and earnestly urges all others who
can do so to aid in the good cause.
While the work of collection has not
been completed Mrs. Nance has turned
in the sum already collected, amount
ing to $3S.25, contributed by the fol-
lowing persons:

number must be increased to ninety
brothers and three sisters to mourn
his untimely death.
The remains arrived in Oroville
Tuesday evening, and arrangements
| have been made to hold the funeral
from the Orpheum Sunday afternoon
at o'clock, when the entire commun-
ity is expected to turn out and pay
| the last tribute of respect to the young
soldier.
While the county has been unfortu-
| nate in losing several soldier boys by
disease, this is the first resident of
this immediate vicinity to answer the
last summons. Young Hodges laid
down his life for liberty and democra-
cy. for flag and country, as truly as
| though he had died amidst the carnage
of battle. He made the supreme sacri-
fice.- and all loyal men and women
honor his memory while mourning
his loss. Moved by that spirit of pat
| riotism that animated so many young
| Americans and caused them to spring
| to arms in defense of country, Private
Hodges offered up his life to the cause
of humanity when he voluntarily en-
listed. He knew the price he might be
called upon to pay, but he never hesi-
tated. His country called him, and he
sprang forward in response to that
| call. 1t is such self-sacrificing courage
that has made our country what it is
today, the refuge of the oppressed of
all nations, a land where opportunity
is presented to the most humble, where
freedom and equality is guaranteed to
all men, and where substantial reward
is always within the reach of the meri-
torioust Had it been his fate to face
the foe he would have done his part
without flinching, manfully and well.
1t was his misfortune to succumb be-
fore being put to the supreme test.
None the less, the spirit that actuated
him to take up arms is what we all
honor and revere. We mourn with his
loved ones in their hour of bitter sor-
row and yet we feel proud of the 10y
atty to the flag, the willingness to do
his bit that he displayed by Offering
his services in the hour of danger. He
gave his life for his country, and more
no man can give.

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT

The Rob Roy Quartet, one of the
Redpath Lyceum numbers, drew a
crowded house at the Orpheum Satur-
day night, and those SO fortunate as
to be present enjoyed most excellent
entertainment. The Rob- Roys as COM
posed today are not the heb Roys OF
d few months ago. The war has shot
the original four to pieces, carrying
three of them to the colors. The pres
ent organization is only a temporary
makeshift, as one of the number must
respond to the draft in few days. If
the original quartet turned off bet
ter brand Of entertainment than the
bunch that appeared here, then the
people of Oroville must have missed
a rare treat indeed, for the present
combination, hastily gathered together
and consequently with little practice,
certainly gave excellent satisfaction.
The program consisted of choruses,
vocal and instrumental solos, with a
Highland fling and sword dance
thrown in for good measure. From the
warmth and Frequency of the applause
it was evident that the large audience
was well satisfied with the perform

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

The following account of fatal
buring Is contained in a dispatch to
the Spokesman-Review from Marcus:
"The farm residence of o. O'Hare,
on Pinkston creek, about seven miles
from Marcus, was burned to the
ground February 7. Mrs. O'Hare died
early Thursday from burns. The origin
OF the fire is unknown, but it is
thought Mrs. O'Hare, who was alone
at the time, started the fire with kero-
sene. An explosion occurred, burning
her hands and body severely. She man
|aged to make her way to a neighbor's,
one-half mile away, but fell in a
swoon at the door. She never regained
consciousness sufficiently to tell of
what had happened"
A son of the deceased, Lee P. O'Hare
has been employed by the Great North
ern for some time as locomotive fire.

run, making his headquarters in this
place. Mr.. O'Hare left at once for Mar
Gus upon receiving the sad news of the
accident. His many friends in Oroville
extend to him their sincere sympthy
in his irreparable loss.

The children should see the winsome
Mary in this great feature as we'll as

HELP THE RED CROSS.

All kinds Of methods have been de-
vised for the raising of funds for the
Red Cross. The more common means
are through subscriptions, tag sales,
dances. entertainments, suppers, fairs
etc. Other means to pry dollar loose
from those to whom the dollars are in
the habit of adhel ing are being tried,
and each and every one of the systems
yield some returns. The very latest
venture for the benefit of the Red
Cross inaugurated at Spokane is the
American Red Cross Shop" where
about everything under the sun is ac-
|cepted as donations and disposed of to
the public. This shop has already
proven to be a success as a money
|getter, but it depends upon the gener-
GUS public for a stock so sales can be
kept up. The Spokane chapter is ap-
pealing to branches throughout east
ern Washington for donations. Mrs.
F. S. Beale has been appointed to rep
resent the American Red Cross Shop"
in Oroville, and if any of our citizens
are in a position to contribute toward
this great cause they are requested to
notify Mrs. Beale. A circular sent to
Mrs. Beale sys: Give anything you
can spare to be sold to someone else
What you don't need some one else
will. Every article will be appreciated,
and sold at reasonable price The
shop will take anything you can give,
from houses and lots to thimbles-
rugs, china, silverwarc, books, leces,
toys, furniture, andirons, fancy work,
candies, automobiles, jellies, canned
vegetables, bulbs, clean rags to be
made into rugs, ETC."

Corporal Kocher is son of Mr.. and

Is a member of Co. G, 361st Infantry,
now stationed at Camp Lewis. He was

of age. He located at Okanogan with
his parents nine years ago.
AS the name would imply Corporal
Kocher Is of German parentage, but
his parents are Americans before they
are Germans, as they elected to cast
their lot with America years ago, and
have found no reason to regret their
choice. When they became American
citizens they surrendered their alleg-
lance to Kaiser William, and are as
true to the country of their adoption
as native born American. To the

from Nelson. When the train stopped
at Circle and the customary inspection
made, it was discovered that one of
the rear wheels of car was broken
in half. How the car struck to the rails
with that half wheel is a mystery that
is almost inexplicable. The only way
that it can be accounted for is that
the train was moving slowly with the
brakes on, and the portion of the wheel
remaining on the rail slid instead of
revolved.

Are you investing quarter every time

is helping this government down the
most brutal nation on earth, helping
the boys who are in to do that work,
at the same time you are putting that

by Dell Hart. This tract is one of the
choice small valley farms in the neigh

fruit trees of various varieties are in
bearing, and as the land is in shell
tered cove, vegetables mature earlier
than at any place in this part of the
valley. Mr.. Frank will take possession
about April 1st, and will enjoy himself
chasing chickens and feasting under

Word was received at this office just
before going to press that Mrs. f. B.
Grinnell, of Tonasket, has received
word of the death of her mother, Mrs.
e. G. Williams, an old time resident
of Oroville. No particulars are given,
but it is presumed that Mrs. Williams
died in Oklahoma, where she has been
recently visiting. She leaves two
daughters and a son, Mrs. e. B. Grin
nell of Tonasket, Mrs Margaret
kratzer, and Rowland. The deceased
lived in Oroville some ten years ago,
and has made frequent visits and short
periods of residence here since that
time. She has been in very poor health
for some years.
