Returning to France with the avowed purpose of remaining "till it's over over there," President Will son left Hoboken aboard the trans port George Washington. With the Presidential flag run up at the fore peak, the big transport slowly passed out into the harbor amid the booming of guns, the roar and shriek of whistles and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of per sons lining the New York and New Jersey shores.
 The President, standing with Mrs. Wilson on the bridge of the transport, waved goodby in an- swer to the cheers from shore, and could be seen until the outlines of the big steamship began to fade in the distance. The early hour of Steaming lessened the demonstra- tion at the beginning of this sec

 tributing to Fund Direct {, That It Be Paid to the .- School Board.

| Word has been received from all the donors to the Uniform Fund of the Home Guards of Juneau. They unanimously directed the Home Guards to transfer their former con tributions over to the Juneau School Board for the purpose of uniforming the Cadet company in the Juneau High School. This means that all the money given to the Juneau Home Guards by the various canneries and mining companies during the past Summer is now in the possession of the School Board to be used for purposes of securing necessary mili- tary equipment for the Cadet Com pany In addition to this, the Home Guards turned over their General Fund, CT monies secured other than by way of individual subscriptions.
 Uniforms, etc, have already been ordered and should be here within three weeks. It is planned to have an exhibition drill of the High School Company in the School gymnasium sometime in April, when the boys will display their efficiency and pre- cision in the art of the soldier. At the present time, the boys drill like veterans and go through intricate maneouvers in a manner that would reflect credit on a real soldier or ganization.

IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

7. l.. Corum, who owns a number of
was in town Saturday on business. Mr..
Corum reports that the Morrisons, who
own large saw mills and box factories
near Bellingham have arranged to put
in large box factory at Synarep, and
the institution will be ready to COM
mence operations this winter, or at
least early in the spring. The company
has secured choice lot of timber land
with sufficient standing timber to
run the plant for a number of years.
When ready for operation the factory
will be the largest in the county. 1t
is being installed by men with the
means to meet every obligation promp-
tly, they are on the ground for perma-
nent operation, and being men of eX-
perience in the lumber business the
establishing of the factory at Synarep
supplies that section with an industry
that is going to help the country and
at the same time assure the country
an ample supply of boxes for this
valley, where the demand for boxes
will increase from year to year. The
logging operations this winter, when
the raw material must be assembled
to keep the plant running, is going to
give employment to large number OF
men teams and trucks thus putting
considerable ready money in circula-
tion which will be a Godsend to the
people of that locality where short
crops for the past three years has
greatly curtailed incomes.

VICTIM OF A HOAX.

A singular case of imposition upon
a very worthy young lady comes to Us
from Loomis. Miss Wave Woodard, a
bright and charming young daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Woodland, Is bent
upon securing thorough education.
She has attended Pullman college, and
last year was student at the Univer-
sity of Washington. So diligent is she
in her studies that she even refused
but remained at Seattle attending q
summer term of school. She was pre-
parng to enter the University for an
other year, and in order to secure ad-
mittance at the opening of the school
it was necessary for her to register
and select her course of studies Sat-
urday, two weeks ago. Failing to re-
spond at that time scholar was shut
out for three months. Just before she
was to register she received what pur-
ported to be telegram from her home
stating that her mother was very ser
iously i'll and she was to return at
once Naturally greatly shocked at the
news Miss Woodland Immediately left
Seattle for her home at Loomis and
upon arriving found her mother per-
fectly well. There is no clue as to who
sent the telegram and the young lady
is perfectly at a loss to understand
why she was made victim of such
heartless hoax. Miss Woodland will
make application and enter the Uni
versity after the holiday vacation. but
she is bitterly disappointed over los
ing three months of schooling.

A SUDDEN DEATH.

Some two or three weeks ago DR..
Lewis operated on Mrs. Chas. Gills, of
Omak, for abdominal tumor. The lady
recovered very rapidly from the effect
of the operation, and had made such
progress up to Sunday night that it
was expected that she would be able
Ito return to her home within a few
days. She was eating heartily and to
Iall appearances had about regained
her normal health. Her husband had
been in town for several days, and
!Sunday evening in company with the
son visited the patient at the hospital
until late hour. When they left Mrs.
Gills was in cheerful spirits and ap-
parently in excellent physical condi-
ton. She fell asleep and about one
O'Clock suddenly awakened with a
scream and went from one convulsion
into another. AS DR.. Lewis was ill DR..
Elmer hastened to the bedside of the
striken woman, but within ten min
utes she had breathed her last. The
physicians are totally at loss 10 ac-
count for the sudden attack and fatal
Termination. The remains were placed

BACK FROM FRANCE.

w. A. Peterson son of Mr.. and Mrs.
from overseas service, but did not re-
turn alone, for he was accompanied by
a charming wife, that he accumulated
after arriving in the United States
from France. Mr.. Peterson was mar
ried at Lynn, Mass, on the 18th Of
July. The young man enlisted in The
service shortly after the declaration
of war, and was assigned to the 29th
Engineers. Being an engraver and
Idraughtsman he was assigned to the
Typographical unit Of that regiment
and was engaged in map making dur
ling his service abroad. The regiment
| to which he was attached arrived in
New York early in July, but Mr.. Peter
son was detained on account of an in
!fection of the arm, which caused him
much suffering and at one time fears
were entertained that he would lose
the arm. He was inOculated for typhoid
and the infection started from the in
|oculation. The arm was in such con-
dition that he had to submit to an Op-
GRAFTON, and it ceased discharging only
a few days before his return home.
From his appearance one would never
Imagine that he had passed through
such a siege for he look in the pink Of
health and is in the best of spirits. We
congratulate Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson
upon having both their sons back with
them after their long army service.

A GRAND ORGANIZATION.

"A. u. Burch, of Midway. snen, twc
~ .nree days in Oroville during the
pariy part OF the week. When Mr.
DuIch was upon the street he was
Iquite conspicuous object for he wa.
logged out in the uniform of this
widely known Northwest Moontef
rolice and there is some color schen,
IN tnat raiment. You can neve,
"istake member of that organ.
,Aation for member of some other
hind OF organization, for the uniform
ls onlit on lines that are different and
'he shade OF the material is the bright.
Ies' that Is woven into cloth. There is
reason In this. When a Northwes,
mounted Police shows up on the bori.
I-oh the observer knows that he repre
SCENTS the majesty of the law. and tha,
UNIFORM covers man with the CUTS to
enforce the law, and the uniform and
tne man inside of the same is respac,.
ed Dy the law abiding and correspond
ihgly reared by the law breaker. The
IDravest and most efficient police forco
ot the land is the Northwest Mounted
roiice. Wherever and whenever the
personnel of the force has been tried
they have never been found wanting
Inc force is made up of men physic-
laly lit, men or iron nerve and endur-
|ance, and when they have a duty TO
perform they perform that duty with
out FEAR or favor. During the war the
INorthwest Mounted Police ceased to
exist as an organization for the force
as body enlisted and became a very
important factor in the Canadian fight
ing machine. Since the close of the war
the force is being reorganized, and in
short time 1t will be in as perfect
working order as in the days prior TO
the war when it was the most depend
able body for the keeping of peace
under the Cross of st. George. Mr..
burch, who is corporal on the force,
informs us that before the war there
were no mounted police in British Co.
lumbia, their activities being confined
to other dominiOns of Canada, but un-
der reorganization British Columbia is
to be supplied with an adequate num-
Der OF these police to patrol the bor-
der and to check the unruly element.
The force to which he Is attached will
number about one hundred. That may
be small force to cover SO large a
territory, but it must be remembered
that single mounted police, or a
small squad, is sufficient to throw tna
fear of the Lord into large number
|of trouble makers. Those boys have
won such reputation for getting their
man when they go after him, and for
their indomnitable fearlessness under
the most trying circumstances, that
the evil disposed are inclined to go
slow when a scarlet coat looms up on
the scenery.

NIGHTHAWk MINING SUIT.

Through his attorneys. John NJ. Went
worth of Loomis. has filed petition to
set aside the decree in case tried some
months ago to quiet title to the Lone
Star group of mining claims near Night
hawk, F. l.. Perrizo being the defendant.
Perrizo acquired the property from par
ty named Mckay. who claimed to have
located it after Wentworth had allowed
his assessment work to lapse.
Following the former trial. Judge G. Fl.
Neal rendered a decree in favor of Peril
20, his decision being given after an in
spection Of the property. The court held
that Wentworth had failed to do the
assessment work for 1915. which was the
year in controversy, Wentworth, who
appears with s. =. Dormer and F. b.
Wright of Spokane as trustees for the
Lone Star corporation. alleges in a petit
ton filed in the superior court that the
defendant, Perrizo fraudulently and inten-
tionally filled up the shaft which the
company had caused to be sunk as pars
of their assessment work for 1915 and
that the work was not evident when
Judge Neal visited the property to IN
vestigate.

FOURTEENTH CENArS.

Preparations are now being made
for the taking of the regular decen.
NAL census Of the United States. This
census is taken every ten years, and
the complete report Of one census is
hardly completed before it is time tc
begin again on the next. The taking
|of the census of this country has be-
come a very complicated affair, re-
quiring the employment of an army
OF ehumerators and clerks. Tie de.
partment of commerce, under the juri-
sdiction Of which the census is taken
does not confine the enumeration to
the population alone. 1t now covers
the listment OF about everything un-
der the sun, and when the reports are
once made up and printed they fill a
large number of very bulky volumes.
Thos. A. Scott, of Spokane, is the SUI
pervisor of census for the Fifth con-
lgressional district of Washington, and
is sending out s. o. s., call for help.
In former years when the census was
to be taken there were more applica-
nts for jobs as enumerators than could
be accommodated. Now, the man with
pick and shovel on the streets can
earn more money than is paid an emu
meratOr and hence that job goes a
begging. Mr.. Scott has addressed a
circular letter to the newspapers of
This district asking for aid to fill up
the ranks of enumerators. The letter
was late reaching this office and ac-
Icording to the exactions Of the depart
ment applications for those positions
must be filed not later than October
I15, SO if there are any individuals
|around here who wish to secure posi-
communication with Mr.. Scott at once.
The earning power of the individual
depends upon his rustling ability. 1t
is not an eight hour day graft and
when you enlist for the compaign you
cannot loaf on the job and eat. Possi-
not breaking their necks in a scram-
BILE for a place on the pay roll. Mr..
Scott says:
"The taking of the 1920 census will
begin January I'd, next. The work
will require about 275 enumerators
for the Fifth congressional district.
There will probably be % enumera-
tors in Okanogan county.
ut is necessary for persons desiring
appointment as enumerator to make
to me at once. Instructions
just received from Washington re-
|quire applications to be in my hands
not later than October 18th. naxt.---
"a test examination will be given
all applicants. 1t will be simple, and
any person with good judgment and
Ia common school education should be
able to pass. The test will be held dur
ing the latter part of October.
"The compensation of enumerators
will be such that person Of average
industry should be able to earn from
81 to $6 per day. From present indica-
|tions the chances of appointment are
Exceptionally good for all the appli-
cants who are able to pass the test"

HAS A RECORD TO MAINTAIN.

( Since Okanogan county began anti
tuberculosis work about three years
ago it has won two national banners
one in 1917 for selling the larges
number of seals per capita, in 1915
IOmak won banner for having the lar
lgest number of Modern Health Cru
saders per capita, both honors worm
having, for they evidenced the spirit
lof our county getting to the front.
Let us now, go over the top, in
health work, not such very hard task
when we consider our natural advan-
ltages, fresh air in abundance the best
this planet provides, sunshine, the
best quality per ray old Sol produces
farm lands furnishing good food, riv-
lers and lakes giving fish, forests with
Igame, good housewives keeping homes
Iclean. There seems little left for the
public to do, yet we must have cleaner
land better streets and country roads,
railroad cars and many public build
ings are not up to our standard of
sanitation.
We must get an accurate knOwl-
ledge of our health liabilities, our
assets are such that we may take
courage. What are the next steps
Many men have many minds. Improv-
ling housing conditions, better milk
|supply, say some, while others say
Ichild conservation quarantine of the
careless patients say others; all these
are steps in the righ direction.
Out of all, or with all these steps
|Okanogan county wishes to construct
Jan interesting and comprehensive pro-
gram for fighting tuberculosis, deal
ling with contributing causes, such as
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
|cough, small poX, ETC., not neglecting
the FLU" must be included in the plan.
THE welfare of the returned soldier
must be another item in the fight.
The Illinois State ti-Tuberculosis
association did big stunt last May, in
|arousing state wide interest in health
|affairs, they called it Health Promo
|tion Week" il, began on a Sunday with
Especial sermons and concluded with
Health parades and public health mass
meetings. The result was that in
|scores of towns this health promotion
week committee became a permanent
institution, thus establishing general
throughout the state,
making definite and tangible results
lin reducing, not only mortality but
|mOrbidity. The plea for reducing NOR
bidity is ADMITTEDLY a crying need
when we consider the rejected draftees
for army service during the war per-
|iod
Reducing human suffering and sor-
row. is no less a responsibility than
reducing deaths.
