The Herald this morning received
a letter from Stewart S. Fleming,
with the editorial Suffering At
Home" clipped and enclosed with a
check for 500 to be applied to the
fund for charity originated by this
paper.
Mr.. Fleming just clipped out the
editorial and wrote on the margin:
This has the right ring to it," and
pinned his check for $4,000 to it
and mailed it into the office.
Mr.. Fleming thinks that our editor.
ial has the right ring to it, and we
think his check has the right ring to
It. and for the benefit of those who
probably failed to read the editorial
which appeared in the paper a few
days ago, we take pleasure in repro
ducing it in the news columns, hop
ing that it will bring forth more fruit.
The editorial follows:

to the call for contributions to a

Supreme Court Justice Wallace
Mount, who is a candidate for re-
election on November 5th, has served
continuously on the supreme bench
OF the state for the past eighteen
years, during which period nearly all
the progressive legislation has been
enacted and upheld
During Judge Mounts term of serv-
ice this state has made great strides
in legislation. The validity of pro-
gressive acts has BEEN upheld so con-
sistently by its decisions that the su-
preme court of the State of Washing
ton has earned the reputation of be-
ing the most progressive in the Unit
ed States,
Among the notable laws which have
been held valid in decisions signed
by Judge Mount, are: The Direct Pri-
mary act, Railroad Commission law,
the Initiative and Referendum and
Recall, the Industrial Insurance law.
Local Option law, Commission Form
|of Government. and the Prohibition
law, He also signed the decision up
holding an injunction against intimi-
dation and coercion by picketing,
Judge Mount is SO years old and has
lived in Washington since 1886, He
was superior court Judge and a
member of the legislature prior to his
first election to the supreme court
in 1900. From 1905 to 1907 he served
as Chief Justice.

SUBSCRIBED ITS QUOTA

That Oroville subscribed its full
quota of $4,000 to the Fourth Liberty
Loan was an accomplishment that no
one thought possible when the dis
trict was called upon to make up that
sum. In the face of prevailing con-
ditions, with portion of the terri
tory for which subscriptions were
to be drawn suffering from the effects
of two years failure of crops, with
the population greatly depleted by re-
movals during the summer 1t was al
most impossible to figure out where
so large a sum was to come from.
The committee having the drive in
charge had very serious problem to
face. and while the chance of success
seemed hopeless that committee never
faltered. in carrying out campaign
of solicitation. That solicitation was
confined entirely to a circular letter
of appeal, and right nObly has the
p0pulation responded to that appeal
Considering all<the circumstances the
showing is one of the best in the
state. and naturally the pleasantly
disappointed committee feels elated
And Furthermore thanks are extended
TO the patriotic citizens or the towr
and country for the liberal contribute
items and the willingness displayed p'
| the contributors in coming across.

SCHOOL NOTES

The honorable sophomore class, in
their last weeks class notes, said the
FRESHMAN class was considered to be
the poorest class in the o. H. S., but
failed to state that the freshman class
was the first class in the o. H. s. to
raise their amount toward the maga-
zine library and that we had decided
to pay 25 cnts per month class dues.

Tuesday afternoon Miss Tanner
called together the student body to

Marguerite Bailey was chosen tenn
porary chairman, and Victor Fnnnali
temporary secretary. A constitution
committee was appointed which will
draw up a constitution to be ratified
by the students Friday. At that time
permanent officers will be elected.
The high school faculty and stud
ents met Friday night to initiate the
freshmen short program opened
the evenings proceedings, which in
cluded several songs by a chorus,

then led to the gymnasium where the
ceremonies took place. Afterwards
a light lunch was served Everybody
had pleasant time The upper class
men made it lively for the freshies,
and assured them of their apprecia-
ton of having so worthy a class In

Senior Class Notes.
Although the senior class cannot
boast of its size we wish to have your
| full attention in order that you may
see that class activities do not en-
tirely depend upon numbers. Three
of our number, Steve Naggy, Richard
| Jackson and George Johnston, have
heartlessly deserted us in favor of
Pullman, nevertheless we wish the
boys much luck in their new project.
Their enlistment makes three more
I stars for our service flag and three
more names on the honor roll and
leaves a vacancy in the school, both
las students and socially, that cannot
soon be filled.

ed, the boys under Supt. Olds, while

bright visions of the high schools

to make the vision reality. Per-

but by boosting. We can all do that
There is no doubt but what we have
a very promising freshman class. For

OFF TO PULLMAN

Dick Jackson, George Johnston and
Steve Naggy. of the local high school
went to Okanogan Monday for the
purpose of physical examination pre-
liminary to entering Pullman college
to take up war work according to the
government arrangement with numer-
Gus colleges of the country. This is
one of the most attractive propositions
ever held out to the lads of the coun-
try in an educational way, for the
government pays all expenses, fur
nishes uniforms and pays small
stipend to those who take up the
work. 1t is a pleasure to state that
the boys passed the examination sue
cessfully. Mr.. Johnston and Mr.
Naggy left for Pullman Tuesday and
Mr.. Jackson left Wednesday. Besides
these three at present students of the
local high school Joe Ashby, who
graduated from the high school last
year will join the other boys at Pull
man from Seattle. These young lads
are all clean, manly, fine young men,
and will be credit to the town in
the big institution of learning. And
they are about the last of the boys
budding into manhood about town
The departure of Jackson, Johnston
and Naggy Is a hard blow to the local
high school, as they were the life OF
that department and will be sorely
missed. But they are young Ameri-
cans through and through, animated
lby the right spirit, and we wish them
the best of luck at school or in the
service. if their services are required
And if their services are not required
they will be well equipped to take ur
sCme line of endeavor in civil life.

cure some concession and relief from
this traffic embargo. The commission
was here in force, looked over the
ground and denied the request. Las
fall another appeal was made by the
town officials to the industrial com.
mission, and representative of the
| commission visited Oroville and held
hearing, before which railroad of.
ficials and the town officials appeared
| After hearing the statements of both
sides and examining the ground the
commissioner returned to Olympia
and from there issued orders that the
foot crossing on the east side should
be eliminated by the construction OF
the fence to which so much exception
has been taken, so that the curse of
being barred from a thoroughfare
that had been in general use for years
did not rest upon the railroad COM
pany alone. or course that decision
and subsequent carrying out of Or
ders did not soothe the feelings of
protest that has so long existed among
the people of the place.. A demon
stration such as occurred Sunday
night has often been suggested by in
dividuals. and the only wonder, con
sidering the prevailing sentiment, is
that an effort had not been made
long ago to carry out the frequently
threatened raid.
In all fairness the railroad side of
the controversy should be given. AS
the large depot building now stands
it's west end is almost directly on a
line with the east side of Main street.
All of the trains coming from the east
back up to the platform. and either
going or coming the trains are out of
sight Of the street from the north
side, and the street out Of sight of the
train crews 1t Is held by the rail-
road that an open crossing at that
point would be constantly fraught
with danger to the travelling public
whether in vehicles or on foot, and
there is no doubt but 1t Is conten-
ton well taken. However, the ar
rival and departure of trains occur at
certain hours daily and with slight
safe guarding the danger would be
reduced to minimum. or course
absolute safety cannot be guaranteed
in any case where railroad crossings
exist in towns.
1t Is not expected that another
physical effort will be made to remove
the obstruction at the road crossing
A more lawful means will now be
resorted to. The case will probably
be laid before the authorities at
Washington and an appeal made for

VICTIM OF INFLUENZA

The residents of the north part OF
the county, and especially those liv-
ing at Loomis, were shocked Friday
last to learn of the death of Lawrence
A. Weile at Camp Taylor, KY, VIC
tim of the dread Spanish influenza
| which has, and still is, claiming so
many victims, not only in the training
camps of the country, but among the
civilian population in almost every
state in the Union.
Young Weile had charge of the State
bank at Loomis for SOME months when
he was drawn in the draft of last
May. After passing the physical en-
animation in the county he left in his
car for Spokane, and was accom-
panied by Miss Ethel Gormley, of this
place. The couple were married at
Grand Forks, B. c., Monday, May
9th. Mrs. Weile stopped at Trail
with her sister, Mrs. Fred Neil
and young Weile continued on to his
home at Spokane, and from there re-
ported at Camp Lewis. After a tern
in training young Weile was selected
at fit material for the artillery Of
ficers' training camp and was sent to
Camp Taylor, Ky. He was taken
down with influenza some ten days
before his death. His wife and moth
Ter fastened to his bedside but only
reached Camp Taylor the day the un-
fortunate young man passed away. e
Mr.. Vile was only % years of age
and graduate of the Lewis and Clark
high school. Spokane During the
time he was connected with the bank
at LOomis he proved himself a capable
and efficient employee of that financial
institution, and had the good will and
confidence of the officials and patrons
Of the bank. Personally he was a
genial and most likeable young gen
tleman and his untimeiy death is re-
gretted by all who knew him. The
friends of the young wife in this COM
munity extend to her their sincere
sympathy. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Weile has been taking a business
course fitting herself for self support

INFLUENZA AT MOLSON

DR.. d. H. Lewis was called to Mol

of handling the influenza epidemic
that had broken out in the community.

contracted the malady and every sin

upon line of guarding against the
spread of the disease. Public meet
ings of every kind were prohibited and
every precaution by the public as a
whole and individually will be taken
to confine the alment to the cases
now being treated. Now that influ-
enza has a foothold in the state every

way of quarantining against the dis
