Joe Mcmillan is one of the west side
hill farmers hit hard by the general
failure OF crops in this part of the
state. But he is not down hearted
by long shot. He says he and his
neighbors will hang on and do their
best to aid in putting the kibosh on
the kaiser.
The building at the corner of Cen
trail avenue and Main street, for
merly owned by r. Butler, and now
occupied by the Okanogan Valley
Power company as an office, and also
by the family of c. C. Hedger as a
residence, has been greatly improved
with a new dressing of paint. Jack
Downs was the artist.
A large delegation of residents of
Palmer mountain were in town Mon
day, coming here as principals or wit
nesses in land contest case before
U. s. Commissioner John R. Frazier.
Among the visitors were Mr.. and Mrs.
j. E. Mcmillan, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Barry, Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. Van Alta,
Geo. r. Woods and others.
Miss Agnes Vested returned home
last week from Seattle where she
was called by the dangerous condition
of her brother, who was victim of a
practical joker. Notwithstanding his
frightful injuries young Westad was
still improving when his sister left
Seattle for Oroville, and the chances
were favorable for his recovery.
Attorney P. D. Smith, of Okanogan,
was a visitor in Oroville Monday.
Mr.. Smith recently returned from a
trip to the east which he took for

that will undoubtedly be made after
the war. During the war all charac-
ter of public improvements, not i'm
peratively necessary, should DO cut
out, but when peace comes and the
country is back to normal condi-
ton, one of the first things the people
Of Oroville should do Is to build such
a road as has been suggested.
J. F. Leighton was in town Satur-
day with his family from Nelson tor
the purpose of securing a supply OF
cherries. Mr.. Leighton expressed sur
prise that the business men of Oro-
Vile did not take some steps toward
improving the road up the hill be-
tween Nelson and Oroville. In several
places the road is reported to be In
bad shape, but Mr.. Leighton stated
that it would require only q COM
paratively small expenditure to great
| ly improve the highway.
Mention was made in a recent issue
that Arthur E. La Vale, stepson Of
Harry Barman, Of this place, and .
former resident Of Oroville, had en-
! listed in the marines. Young La Vale
did make application to enlist In the
marines, but was unable to pass the
rigid examination necessary to enter
that select branch Of the service,
where man must be physically per-
| feet in order to enter. Undaunted by
his failure to become sea soldier.
and animated by the spirit OF pluck
that is worthy Of imitation by every
American Of service age, young Ia
Vale has now enlisted In the dell
ARTILLERY. Evidently he is going to
break into the army by hook or crook.
The young man gave up a good job
as shipping clerk with the Spokane
Dry Goods company in order to en-
list. Moreover, he is only IS years Of
age, fact that is to his credit for de-
string to serve his country when the
country needs the service of every
young man fit to bear arms.
We see by the Nelson Leader that
&c. A. Potter, the presiding genius at
the head of the Potter Mercantile
company, a substantial and flourish
ing merchandising establishment at
our neighboring town, has given up
active management Of the business.
Temporarily at least, and Is now or
on a protracted vacation. He goes
by auto to the coast. and will extend
his travels down into California. The
length of his absence depends upon
the recuperative influence Of vaga-
bonding. and he is out for recupera-
ton if it requires six months or =
year. Charlie Potter, who is about
as well known in Ooville as he 10 In
his home town, has applied himself
strictly to the humdrum existence
that makes up life behind counter

Among those subject to draft in
Whitman county who have been call
ed to report at Colfax at some date
during the five days period beginning
July 81, is Charles Hollants, of Oro-
Vile. Mr.. Hollants' father purchased
the Block desert claim, short dis
lance from Oroville this spring, where
he is now living, and young Hollants
is employed on the irrigation system.
F.. r. Hershberger, who has perch
ed on Ellemeham mountain for the
past twelve years, decided to try a
change where there was no danger
of any shortage of water, and this
spring purchased 40 acres from A. j.
Johnston, under the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation bitches. Mr. Hersh-
berger is now living in his valley
possession, and reports that his al
| falfa is coming along fine, with prom

carry him through the winter. That
is what all the hill ranchers will have
! to do. Get a slice of land under the
ditch, and crop failures will be un-
known.

of the republican candidates for con-
gress in the Fifth district two years
ago who also ran. Had he been NOM
mated and elected at that time the
Fifth district would have had repre-
sentative in congress who would
have stood Loyalty by the government
in this war through thick and thin.
And the more the pity he was not. Mr..
Hart is reporter whose activities
have covered wide field. He Yields
a vigorous and trenchant pen, and is
one of the bright newspaper scribes
Of the northwest. Personally Mr..
Hart is, like all members of tn press
gang we have had the pleasure of
meeting in long print shop career,
a genial and charming gentleman.
In mentioning last week the very
creditable showing made by School
District No. Is, on Palmer mountain,
in the War Saving Stamp drive, this
paper failed to give proper credit
| where credit was due for the success
that rewarded effort in that district.
The Withholding of that credit was
not intentional on the part of this
paper. The large sum raised was
due very largely to the efforts of that
old time resident of the mountain,
| George R. Woods. Mr.. Woods devoted
a day to riding over the district and
personally urging people not only to
turn out to the meeting but to sub
| scribe to the limit of their ability.
! The amount raised was some 1866
stead of 1915, as reported. The
| people of Palmer mountain express
unstinted praise for the zeal Mr.
Woods displayed in the good work.
Carpenters are at work putting up
several necessary buildings at the O.
K. mine, a few miles north of Orc
Vile, which are required for carrying
on the work that II. ID. James has in
contemplation. Mr.. James has a
property that can be made a paying
mine, as the stuff is there, as has
been demonstrated by extensive ex-
ploration, besides numerous ship
ments of ore to a smelter, with the
most encouraging cash returns. When
finally in shape so that operations
can be pushed advantageously and ex.
lpedtiously the o. X. is going to be
one of the most busy spots in this
part of the country, and the returns
from the exertions applied are going
to at least pay the operators of mine
in this district handsomely, and tha
is something that some of us have
waited twenty years to see and re
joice over.

Fred Deffland came up from Brew
ster Monday evening and returned
home with his young daughter Tues
day morning. Miss Defflan1 was
brought to the Oroville General hos
pital some VITO weeks ago suffering
with an attack of appendicitis. An
operation was performed by Dr.
Lewis, assisted by DR.. Mckinley, of
Brewster. For a time the patient
was very low, but she gradually
rallied and is now we'll on toward
permanent recovery.
Mrs. G. M. Van Alta is taking every
opportunity to aid the Red Cross
financially, and her next effort in that
line will take the form of a public
dance which she is arranging to give
| in Eagle Hall, Loomis, on Friday
evening, August 2. The Odd Fellows
have kindly donated the use of the
hall, which has one of the best dance
floors in the county, and has in the

II has been suggested that Oroville
get up a celebration for Labor Day,
which comes on Monday, September
End. What do you think of the idea
Oroyile has not INDUCED in the cele-
brati0n game for some two years and
the town could put up attractions that
would draw a crowd.
One of the fiercest wind storms that
has hit the valley this summer, and
there have been some heavy blows,
howled around the neighborhood late
Monday night. 1t was peach so
long as it lasted and sounded as
though houses were going to be torn
from their foundations.
Roy A. Comstock purchased two
and a half acres Of orchard lands
from Messrs. Ellis and Forde this
week. The land joins that of Dr. }.
L. Masters and J. c. Martin, on the
east side Of the Okanogan river, with

H. L. Smalley, OF Chesaw, was a
visitor In Oroville over Sunday. Mr..
Smalley is working a magnetic iron
mine near Chesaw, and recently has
been shipping a large quantity of
iron ore to smelter. The ore runs
"a high per cent in iron, and the de-
post, to all outward and visible ap-
pearances, Is inexhaustible. Mr..

Nothing should detract the people
from that one great object.

Groceries, Minus Gambling

"A year ago. when we were at peace

New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore
mobbed. and their goods taken away
without any compensation. The spec-
nlator and gambler In foods were the
cause OF all the trouble. Most of
them were rank outsiders, and in no
way connected with the grocery busi-
ness. They had cornered enough of
our food supply to raise the rcst
away beyond the reach Of the poor,
and they were fighting for bread. Ow-
ing TO the war. the demand for food Is
twice as great now as II was q year
ago and yet no grocer has been mob.

simply because Herbert Hoover has
