BARRED OUT.

Thursday morning gang OF rail-
road section men started in to build
some 300 feet of woven wire fencing
across the south side of Main street.
on the railroad right-or-way, on the
line of Main street. The fence starts
some 200 feet east OF the line of the
street and extends to the foot cross
ing side walk put in by the railroad
across the railroad tracks on the west
side of Main street The object is to
shut off the walk on the east side of
Main street, crossing the railroad
tracks, that has been used for years,
and which is claimed to be dangerous
to pedestrians. This construction was
not initiated by the railroad company
but has been ordered and insisted up
on by the State Public Service Com
mission, and is an outgrowth of Wis
It of members of the commission to

here for the purpose of hearing Pc

the commission is going to met with a
bitter protest from the people of the

ches, though. The general desire of
all the boys is to be at home, but do
not let this matter depress me at all.
You folks at home should feel the
same. No cause for worry, you know,
for Uncle Sam is taking far better care
of us than most people imagine. But
the people at home must see to it that
1t Is firmly impressed on every one
that we are at war, and everywhere
there must be sacrifices to the good OF
the cause. A swell feed down town at
home won't take many miles of tren-
ches in Flanders, and the Lord knows
that the people over here can use even
what is left of the feed, evn down to
the tomato cans. Just remember we
are not coming home until the Ger
mans are back on the other side of the
Rhine, and now many divisions of
them are being released from the Rus
sian front, as you all know. Many hap
py returns of yesterday, and let us
hope that on your next birthday the
world will be at peace and we will all
be together. There has been no mail
since we left tn states. but soon, we
hope. This is Y. M. c. A. pen. but
not very good. Say, by the way, boost
for the Y. M. c. A., if you get chance"

AS DANGEROUS AS SOLDERING.

While at Riverside one day last week
Bob Prentice, manager OF the local
steam laundry, met Neil Thompson, an
old time resident of Riverside, who had
just returned from Seattle, where ne
has been working in the ship yards.
Mr.. Thompson expressed delight to get
back to this country again alive, whole
in body and limb. According to Mr..
Thompson's story it is far more dan
gerous working in aSship yard than
facing the Huns in the trenches. He
stated that accidental deaths and in
juries are of daily occurrence, not
single instances, but many. Eight men
were killed in a single day recently in
shipyard where Mr., Thompson was
employed. He had enough of it, and
was willing to take his chances in the
Okanogan valley, where the wages may
be less, but the chances of good, old
age and immunity from broken bones
were all in his favors Another person
who has been employed in ship yard
at Seattle where the pay roll numbered
5000 men, and who is here looking
for work, informed MIR. Prentice that
there were 1876 cases treated at the
emergency hospital OF the yards in
single day. "

GIVES UP CONGENIAL WORK,

Miss Fannie Peterson has resigned
the office of United States commission
er which she has held for some time,
to take effect April 1st, and has given
up her position as stenographer at the
office of Messrs. Grant & Williams.
She takes this step so she can devote
her time to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Jno. E. Peterson, who are living rath-
er lonely lives on the ranch with both
boys following the flag. In the position
of commissioner Mis- Peterson has
done her work efficiently and to the
satisfaction of those having business
with the office. She has come in con-
tact with many of the farmers, and her
relations with them have always been
exceedingly pleasant. A mutual regard
has sprung up between the home
steaders and the official, and the young
exp. etaoinhrdlutaoinhrd
lady gives up her work with feelings
of regret, carrying with her very pleas
urable memories of the friendships she
has made while in office.

DOING BETTER SHOOTING.

In the shoot Sunday the Oroville
Gun Club made a better showing all
the way down the line, and though it
only tied the score made two Sundays
ago, yet the entire membership did
far better shooting than has beef the
rule. The weather was cloudy and
windy, not the most favorable for
shooting. Oroville was pitted against
Pendleton and won the match 116 to
III. Hedger, who has been shooting
at steady gate throughout the match
made a clean score and DR.. Masters
climbed up to "a. In the team stand
ing, Oroville is third from the bottom
with the lowest general average, an
unfortunate position growing out. of
the very poor scores made at the be-
ginning of the match. The following is
the result of the Sunday shoot, the
first five named being the five high,

KNITTING CLUB DANCE.

AS the students of the high school
have decided to leave Friday, April s,
an open date the young lady members
of the Young Ladies' Knitting Club,
an auxiliary Of the Red Cross. as the
agile fingered females are knitting for
the soldiers, have seized upon it and
will give dance on that evening No
further particulars have been handed
in than the dance is to take place, and
the fact that the young ladies are
sponsors for the social event is an as
surance that it will be success and
source of great pleasure to all who
attend.

ing bakers licenses, may purchase for
baking purposes only in the ratio of
four pounds of wheat flour with one
pound of substitutes.
Substitute scarcity:-We appreciate
some counties will have difficulty in
finding substitutes. This simply means
that wheat or wheat products must be
sold only to the extent that there are
available sustitutes of equal weight on
hand. If the dealer has no substitutes,
his stock must lie idle until he can
procure the same.
Absolute necessity:-The above
rules are promulgated and will be en-
forced because of the absolute neces-
sity of further conservation of wheat
and wheat products throughout the
country. This is war order and must
be obeyed. Dealers failing to obey these
rules to the letter will be refused the
right to purchase any licensed food
commodities from licensed whole
salers, jobbers or manufacturers. and
will submit themselves to other penal
ties provided by law.
Let us remember that our associates
in the great world war depends upon
America for food as they have never
depended before, and they ask us for
it as right which they never have had
before. Today they are our companions
in a great war for democracy and lib
erty. They are doing the fighting, the
suffering, and dying in our war, and
will be carrying this burden for
months to come.
Let us remember that wheat for our
Allies requirements can be made
available only through radical reduc-
tion of our consumption for beyond
anything so far accomplished. This ap-
plies also to the conservation of sub
stitute breadstuffs as well as wheat.
More potatoes must be used by all to
accomplish the conservation of wheat
and other breadstuffs. Considering our
relatively favorable food situation
compared to the allied peoples, this is
not a serious sacrifice for our citizens
to make. 1t is, however, most urgent
war duty. This necessity further eni-
ptasizes the need of utmost production
of bread grains and all other food pro-
ducts during the year of 1918.

POSTPONED.

The drama to be presented by the

Friday evening, April 5, has been post
poned to Friday evening, April IL. No
reason has been assigned at this office
for the change of dates after the an

made for good and sufficient reasons.

SEND IN THEIR NAMES.

The committee of distribution has a
quantity of tobacco to send to the boys
in the army. Tobacco is the soldiers
chief solace, and most of the lads in
the service use it. 1t is the aim of the
committee to mail this tobacco to the
boys regularly and the names and ad-
dresses of. soldiers are wanted. Send
the names and addresses to this Of
flee. 1t is not going to cost the rela-
tives of the boys anything, and the
lads will certainly be glad to be re-
membered. The soldiers want tobacco
The committee can supply a few of
them with the weed and is willing to
do so. If relatives of the soldiers are
not sufficiently interested to hand in
the names and addresses the COM
mittee will find it's usefulness gone
and will disband.

FOR COTTAGE CHEEsE
Department of Agriculture Sends
Workers to Every State to En-

Washington, Apr. 16.-To encour-
age the use, as well as the making
OF cottage cheese--a cheap and pal
atable substitute for meat--the
United States department of agri-
culture has launched a campaign in
which nearly hundred field work.
ers will take part and which is to
carry to every state in the union

Cottage cheese is made from
skim milk---now largely wasted or
fed to animals A pound Of cottage
cheese has the same food value a.

cheese and thus put to valuable use
