DEATH OF ESTL
MABLE LADY

A dispatch from Occur d'Alene, un-
der date of December Is, published in
the Spokesman Review, says: Mrs.
J. M. Lavender, wife of tho Rev. J. NJ
Lavender, formerly pastor of the Rath-
drum Presbyterian church, passed
away here at 2:45 this afternoon after
several months illness with a COM
plication of Diseases The deceased
lived in Oroville with her husband for
some months two years ago, when
Rev Lavender occupied the pulpit of
the Presbyterian church at this place,
and she won the esteem and friendship
of all with whom she came in contact.
She was a gentle, attractive, charming
lady, but even when here was largely
incapacitated for household duties by
the insidious ravages of the ailments
that seemed incurable and which
finally proved fatal after long suffer
ing. While the death of Mrs. Laven-
der was not unexpected, considering
her condition when she left here, nev
ertheless those of her friends here
read with sorrowing hearts the an
nouncement that the end had come.

NOT GUILTY
SAYS THE COURT

Monday morning preliminary
hearing was held before Justice of the
Peace Judson Murray wherein a young
man verging upon mature years, was
under examination on the charge as it
appeared in the warrant of criminal
assault. The testimony as given was
deslutory, interlocutory and fragmen-
tary. There was accusation and denal,
and sad story of woman's indiscre-
tion in trusting any man whom she
may know but casually, and for a short
time. If the story of the girl is correct,
and she told it with most creditable
degree of modesty and evident repug-
nance to parade her misfortune before
the staring crowd collected in the
room, Withholding salacious particu-
lars, then the accused was guilty of
indecent assault at least. That the
prosecuting witness was not free from
blame for placing herself in a posi-
ton where a man with little consci-
ence or respect for womanhood could
force upon her undue proposals can
not be denied, and it was for that
reason, no doubt, that the Judge decid-
ed that the prisoner was not guilty
of the crime as charged in the warrant.
In this case the names of the parties
involved are withheld through regard
for the family of the young girl, who
are excellent and worthy people.

MEN
GET TOGETHER

Tuesday evening a number of ex-
soldiers and eX-saiors of the late war
met in the town hall and perfected an
organization of the American Legicr
by selecting officers and discussing
plans No charter has been received
nor instructions as to the institution
of post, but both are expected to ar
rive at any time. Some sixteen or
twenty eX-service men were present.
A thorough effort will be made soon
to secure for membership every eX-
service man in town and vicinity. and
it is calculated that there are be-
tween 60 and 70 that could affiliate
with the post at this place in and
around Oroville. After arrangements
are perfected for hall, meetings will
be held regularly every week or fort
nightly. The following is list of Off
GERS chosen by those present at the
meeting Tuesday evening:
Post Commander-W b. Sexson.
Post Vice Communicated. H.
Jackson.
Post Adjutant-Lawrence Dallam.

ARE WE LIVING IN
TROPICAL ZONE?

A rather singular climatic condi-
ton is noticeable at Orovile and
northward up the Okanogan valley
every winter in the fact that when the
country to the south is covered with
snow the ground in this locality and to
the north is bare. This weather freak
was particularly conspicuous Satur-
day morning. Friday night it rained in
this part of the valley while half a
mile south of town snow fell. The
lower reaches on the hills on both
sides of town from the south side of
Ithe Similkameen river northward
were entirely clear of snow while a
blanket of whteness covered the
bench land even down into the valley
las far south as the eye could reach.
This absence of snow in the winter in
this vicinity is not an exceptional oc-
currance. 1t can be noted every Win
ter. Just why, has never been salts
factorily explained, but it is supposed
to be the result of warm air currents
coming down both the Okanogan and
Similkameen valleys. Even in winters
when the heaviest snow fall is record
ed the snow is light around Oroville
when it stalls train a few miles to the
south

WHOLESALE
MOONSHINING

Genial Fred Thorpe, formerly
sheriff of this county, and for several
years filling the position of deputy
United States marshal. and cling it
with credit to himself and the depart
ment. spent Tuesday night in Oroville,
being up here on business connected
with his office. Fred is always certain
of a warm welcome anywhere he visits
in the county, for he won the respect
and good will of all law abiding citi-
zens during the period that he served
as sheriff Just before coming here on
this last trip Marshal Thorpe had some
excitement. near Republic, where he
ran to catch a crowd of moonshiners.
and moonshiners who were certainly
moonshining by the wholesale. 1t ap-
pears that Wednesday of last week
Sheriff Jas. Moore, of Ferry county,
got wind of the existence of a still in
operation some miles from Republic,
hidden away in the fastness If the
mountains and timber. The sheriff and
his posse captured two men, who were
handcuffed together The men were
placed in an automobile in charge of
one of the deputies and the sheriff
returned to the house to collect a
number of fire arms that had been
found on the premises. While the sher-
ff was so employed the deputy stood
beside the car on guard. When the
guards attention was attracted from
the prisoners the men jumped from
the opposite side of the car, ready to
take long chances in their eagerness
to escape, and broke for the heavily
timbered side hill The guard opened
fire upon the fleeing prisoners, but his
poor markmenship did not succeed in
high and low but failed to find the fu-
gitives. Mr.. Thorpe was sent up to Re-
public from the marshals office at
Spokane to assist in the search and in
company with Sheriff Moore took to
the hills. finally locating four men
said to be implicated in running the
still some sixteen miles northeast of
Republic Among the four were the two
prisoners that had escaped from the
sheriff a few days before. but by that
time the handouts were in condition
that made them useless for further
service. From what Marshal Thorpe
could learn it was evident that this
Illicit still had been turning out moon
shine by the wholesale, and a very
smooth brand of liquor it is said to
have been. During the short time that
it had operated the ownrs had used
mp four tons of corn and ton of bar
ley. It was evident that the product
found a ready market, and as the quot
cd price is out of the reach of the or
dinary man working on a salary and
no tax to pay it is evident that the
manufacturers were making mighty
good thing out of the venture, both in
the way of liquor and profit. A small
quantity of the finished goods was
found, when the still was raided.

LARGE EXTENT
OF PULP TIMBER

Among paper manufacturers and
paper users just now there is much
apprehension that the wood pulp sup
ply will soon be exhausted The cur
tailment of the supply is given as an
excuse for the present shortage of
print paper and the excessive cost of
the same. Men interested in paper
making and paper using are making
exhaustive researches and inquiry in
an effort to locate tracts of wood pulp
and the existing supply is going to be
most thoroughly looked into. We are
informed by Jake Kast a carpenter
who has lived here and at Loomis for
a number of years, and who before
coming west had considerable exper-
ience working in wood pulp timber,
that there are large tracts of excellent
standing pulp wood timber in the vi
cinity of Loomis, much of it on the
national forest reserve, the boundary
of which comes down to the Sinlahekin
valley Mr.. Kast insists that there is
a visible supply of this timber in sight
| in that locality to furnish paper for the
country for so years. This may be an
eXtravagant estimate, but if there is
90 per cent of the quantity that Mr..
kast estimates there is, it would be
well if the government authorities,
who are now interested in searching
out a supply of raw material, looked
into this reserve supply. Paper manu-
| facturerS of the coast would do we'll
to take cognizance of this timber tract
from which they may be able to in
crease their stock of pulp wood. 1t
may just be possible on account of the
distance from railroad the timber
around Loomis could not be utilized at
the present time, but if there is any
where near the quantity available that
Mr.. Kast estimates there is it would
pay and pay well, to put in paper
mill in the vicinity of the standing
timber.

SMALL FORTUNES
MADE IN APPLES

| j. r. Bowen was in town on busi-
mess Saturday from his orchard a lew
miles west of Okanogan. Mr.. Bowen is
well known here, for be lived for a
number Of years on the Ellis-Forde
Orchard tracts. Mr.. Bowen is a strik-
| ing example of the marvellous fortune
that has come to apple growers in this
valley this year, and his success shows
how man will occasionally hit it
right in taking a plunge on invest
ments. Last year Mr.. Bowen suffered
considerable loss at farming. as many
another in this upper country. His loss
consisted in not getting anything in
return for his labor, and at the end of
the season he was decidedly in the
hole The outlook was not such as
would be conducive to extreme happi-
ness, for Mr.. Bowen is the father of
seven children. and in these days OF
the high cost of mere existence, and
seven small bodies to cloath and seven
youthful tummies to fill, to say moth
ing of the adult members of the family,
means a pretty stiff drain on ones re-
sources. And when one is in the posi-
tion of Mr.. Bowen at the time his har-
vest failed to pan out, resources be-
came painfully limited. But Mr.. Bow
en- did not lie down and bemoan his
luck. He is made of sterner stuff. He
by stroke of good fortune discov-
cred 20 acre orchard mostly in bear
ing near Okanogan that could be pur-
chased at a very reasonable figure
with only 81 900 down. Having some
small property in Wenatchee Mr.. Bow
Ell raised the 81 900 and went on the
orchard with hope for the best and
a prospect for the worst. And the
best is what came to him, and the
best could not have come to a more
worthy gentleman claiming a resi-
dence in this valley. He sold his ap-
pie crop for enough to pay for the
land outright and leave him two or
three thousand dollars in ready money
besides. Not only is Mr. Bowen solidly
ON his feet, but he has been offered
S2O,oOo for his orchard! Now ye folks.
who struggle along from year to year
straining to make both ends meet, and
finding gap between the ends every
year, what do you think of that? One
short year ago Mr.. Bowen buckled in
to the apple game on shoe string,
went in debt on long shot to win,
and today is worth anywhere from
900 to 100000, for it is doubtful II
he would take the latter sum for his
twentyacre bearing orchard. His ex-
perence shows what can be done in
the Okanogan valley with little
nerve and willingness to work, the
latter now becoming almost lost art.
The soil, the climate and the water
wrought this marvel for Mr. Bowen
1t will do the same for you if you will
take advantage of the opportunity.

FREEDOM MISSION.

Evidently neither the churches nor
the people of Oroville appreciate or
desire City Mission / have kept the
Mission open at considerable expense
for nearly year, not to build up an
other church but purely Ito do good
unto all men,. A very few faithful ones
who desire to see the work of God
built up in this place have nobly stood
by me. but the great big majority of
our city friends have shown their ut
ter contempt for the Small affair" by
giving it a good "let alone" which was
their privilege. Possibly this city is
not ripe for a mission or perhaps I am
not the right man for it, any way,
with malice toward none and with
charity for all" I close the same next
Sunday. Services at p. m. Everybody
welcome.

Care Of the Shoes.

SdTe OF tUe Snoes.
Shoes have scared In price even
faster and higher than other necessl-
ties, and shoe men tell us that pros
poets for their coming down to any
thing like reasonable prices are not at
all cheerful. The one good thing that
will come out of this experience for
the average woman Is that she will
learn to take better care of her foot
wear and make 1t last longer, and that
she will use more judgment In buying
her shoes. The big per cent of Grip.
pied feet among American women is
reflection on their good sense. They
have the best-lOoking shoes in the
world at their service, but will not
learn that 1t is fatal to cramp the feet.
The everyday walking shoe, like the
tailored suit, is the most important
item in the selection of footwear. Two
pairs of these Of substantial leather
and comfortable heels must be worn
alternately and maintained In good re.
pair, for the sake Of appearance and
economy. Women who are expert.
enced In buying get two pairs on the
same last at one time, and two pairs
Of high shoes with one of low ought to
see one through year for street
wear. Before they are put on the
feet they should be REINFORCED at the
heels, II the wearer Is inclined to wear
them off at one side. The point is
that they must be maintained I'm first
class repair all the time and not al.
lowed to get out Of shape or run down.
Tan shoes should be dressed or
"shined" before they are worn.
A pair Of shoe trees is necessary for
every pair Of shoes and whenever a
shoe Is Off the foot the shoe tree should
be placed In 1t. Next In Importance to
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1919-08-23

this Is the sort of dressing used. It
is economy to discover and buy the
best-that Is, one that contains some
oil and will not harm the leather. BY
keeping shoes not in use clean and
dressed with the right polish the life
of the leather is increased fifty per
cent. 1t is very easy also to cover
them to protect them from the dust.
These precautions taken with dressy
shoes will make them last long
time also.
Driving a motorcar Is hard on shoes.
The back of the shoe above the heel
gets scuffed out and needs protection.
Clever women use pair of sox to pro.
tect the shoes in the car. They cut
out the toes Of these and slip them
on over the shoes while driving. 1t
is easy to slip them Off and on.
Linen canvas shoes for summer wear
remarkably well. In these as In
leather shoes the secret of keeping
them long time lies in keeping them
In repair-not allowing them to get
much run down before getting them
to the shop for repairs.
