Fish for food as we'll as for pleas
ure, suggests the United States Food

liquid in which the fish bones have
been boiling over all, and cook about
twenty minutes until fish and po-
tatoes are tender. Then add the
scalded milk. II desired thicker.

each layer of fish and potatoes.
The following sauces may be serv-
ed with fish to add variety:

chopped celery. asparagus, caulif1ower,

SEATTLE CELEBRATION

Guy Fruit returned home Monday
evening from Seattle, where he put
in ten of the most exciting and inter-
esting days of his life. He reports
that the war spirit prevails in the
big city on the sound as it prevails
nowhere else in the state. People?
Why, there is no end of people in
Seattle just at the present time,
thanks to the activity in the ship
yards, and mingling with the people
are thousands of soldiers, sailors and
marines from neighboring camps and
cantonments. Saturday night Seattle
celebrated the allied victory on the
Marine. 1t was an awe inspiring
sight. Mr.. Fruit says the procession,
miles long, was headed by thousands
of ship workers. then came thouands
OF soldiers and marines then citizens
by the multitude. Bands were playing
inspiring airs everywhere, the nation
al colors fiuttered from every point
of vantage and enthusiasm ran riot.
What impressed Mr.. Fruit particu-
larly was the big, brawny finely
trained boys in khaki and blue. He
talked to many of the soldiers. They
were all keen to go across. They
were kicking and grouching because
they were held back and the war
would be over before they could take
hand in the game. 1t was such
spirit of intense loyalty, such keen
anxiety to take the chances of bat
tie, as Mr.. Fruit never dreamed of,
and when it comes to militant loyalty
there are few that have anything over
Mr.. Fruit. He declares that those
citizen soldiers, who have been taught
the military training in few months,
are the grandest fighting force in the
world, and that when the Huns once
go up against them they will learn
to respect men whom they have been
deriding ever since America entered
the war. And that is a lesson that
the Hun has been learning during the
last few weeks, we may add.

Arthur La Vile, stepson of Harry
Barman, of this place. is now attach
ed to the light artillery, and stationed
at Camp Taylor, Kentucky. He writes
that his regiment will be sent to
West Point, n Y, to be instructed in
gunnery. Young La Vile lived in
Oroville about year, leaving for
Spokane this spring. There he had a
good position, but was so anxious to
get into the service and do his bit
that he threw up the job and attempt
ed to enlist in the marines. One of
his feet is somewhat defective, and he
would not be accepted for the navy.
He then tried to get into the infantry,
but was again turned down. I'm
daunted by these failures he applied
to enter the artillery branch and was
at last accepted. Personally Arthur
La Vile is a most likeable young
chap, and has given evidence that he
has the stuff that is making the
American soldier respected as a fight
ing machine on the battle fields of
France Such ardor, pluck and de-
termination. which is displayed by all
American boys in the service, cannot
fall to aid very materially in winning
this great world war.

it was practically as good as new
The purchase arrived at Oroville Sat
urday, and force has been busy this
week transferring the machinery to
the mine, where buildings had been
prepared to receive the same. When
the outfit is in running order the
Oroville Copper mine will be equip
ped to push extraction of ore and as
the ore carries values that leaves
handsome margin of profit for the
operator the mine should be on
paying basis before long. This state
ment is not founded on a prospect
growing out of further future develop
ment. The mine has shipped much
ore in the past, and even with the ex-
pensive, slow and primitive hand drill
means of extraction the operators
have made good wages working on
royalty. If the Orovile Copper COM
pany succeeds in making a remuner-
ative mine that will be an encourage
ment for other owners of properties
in the immediate neighborhood to re-
double development work, and there

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS

Deputy United States Marshal AL
Thorpe, formerly sheriff of this
county, stopped over in Oroville We'd
nesday night on his way to Okanogan.
He was up here on some business
connected with his Office. Mr. Thorpe
informed us that his Office is very
busy just now running down draft
claim exemption. He says that he
has found the Norwegians and Danes
loyal to the country of their adoption,
but that the Swede, as a rule, is so
much of a proGerman that he would
rather be deported to his own coun-
try than fight for America. And that
is just what should be done with them.
He mentioned one Swede who had
taken out his first papers that he was
compelled to arrest. The Swede ex-
pressed regret that he had taken out
his papers. Asked how much he was
getting for his work he said $4.00 a
day, and he expected to receive $3.50.
Asked how much he would receive
for the same work in his own country
he said so cents a day. Mr.. Thorpe
then asked him if he would rather
fight for this country than return to
Sweden and work for the lesser pay.
He said he would rather return to
Sweden. Another shocking feature
about his report is that every Stacker
and draft dodger, every alien who re-
fuses to fight for the country, are
outspokenly in favor of Dill for con-
gress.

INTERESTED IN THE PUSH

This last great defensive and Of
fensive on the French front, in which
a large number OF Americans have
taken part, and Lave gallantly done
their share in giving the Huns the
licking of the four years war was
of keener interest to the people of
this county than other great actions
during the war as it was believed
that the old End Washington, now the
161st infantry, in the ranks of which
are number of Okanogan county
boys, was part of the force engaged.
SO far We have been unable to learn
whether this regiment was part of
the force defending the line and sub
sequently in the, drive, but as the
regiment is incorporated in the 41st
division, and the 41st division is re-
ported to be one of the units of the
1st Corps, which did take part, the
chances are that the Washington regi-
ment has had it's baptism of fire.
