4 NARROW ESCAPE.

The closest escape from a serious
branch line since that road was con-
structed was that in which a passen-
ger train came within an ace Of going
into the Okanogan river last Friday
evening. The regular train due at this
place at s:45, in cha.ge OF Conductor
M. E. McLain, with w. H. Duffy at the
throttle J. e. Atkinson as fireman and
Ed Keyser as brakeman, was bowling
along at a moderate rate of speed
when this side of Monse the engine
struck a large stone that had been
loosened from the bank by the thaw
and had rolled on the center of the
track. At that point snow still lies on
the ground some eight inches deep,
the stone was perfectly white and
looked like patch of snow, and the
engineer did not know the difference
until he walked upon the top of it and
the engine left the track Both the en-
gine and the baggage car were de-
rallied, but the balance of the train
stuck to the track The accident oc-
Cured just on the brow of the hill.
Had the train reached a point only a
few feet further on the engine would
have gone off the grade and rolled
down at least 100 feet into the Okla
hogan river. Fortunately the train
was running at very moderate speed,
otherwise there would surely have
been loss of life. Fireman Atkinson
jumped and sprained his back but was
not seriously hurt.
The Princeton train was sent down
from Oroville and picked up the mar
ooned passengers, but did not bring
back the mail, arriving at Oroville at
5:15 Saturday morning. In conse-
quence of the accident train had to
be made up here Saturday morning
for the south. but did not get away un-
It'll late in the morning.

THE ORPHEUM SOLD.

And things do move in Orovllle. An
other important real estate deal is of
record for the past week. Through Dell
Hart Mr.. and Mrs. Van Alta have pur-
chased the old Orpheum building and
six lots fronting On Vancouver street
from George w. Bartell. The property
is centrally located, and from the fact
that it is opposite the corner where
the new opera house and garage is
going in insures steady increase in
value, unearned increment, so 10
speak. But the property does not have
to lean upon other property to be of
value, for the lots are centrally located
and the new buyers are not to let them
remain idle, unproducing. The Van
Atlas have already called for pro-
posals to repair and improve the Or
pheum, which has stood with it's char
red front out to the weather ever since
the fire of several months ago. The
building was not greatly damaged by
the fire, so that repairs and renovation
can be made rapidly. When the i'm
provements contemplated are COM
pleted Oroville will once more have
convenient and roomy public hall,
which will be in demand for dances
and public meetings. Mr. and Mrs. Van
Alta are entitled to much commenda-
ton for taking over and improving
this property. They have made num-
Der of investments in Oroville, showing
that they have confidence in the town,
and time will prove that that conf
dence has not been misplaced They
are old residents of the county, and
have for years been engaged in he
stock business and farming, making
their home on Palmer mountain. By
industry, thrift and exceptional busi-
ness acumen they have accumulated
considerable means and have set a
splendid example by investing the
money they have made in the country
in county property instead of taking
it outside to aid in building up other
communities. We trust that they will
find their investments fortunate ores,
and all signs indicate that they surely

CORKING GOOD RECORD.

The local gun club did themselves
proud at the Sunday shoot with the
record made over the traps The wealth
er was all that could be desired tor
shooting, the gunner had their eye,
and the inanimate targets got a fear
full smashing. All the boys were doin g
good shooting. DR.. Elmer, who had not
taken part in the shoot before owing
to being away at the time of the shoots
grabbed off the targets as fast as they
could be flashed into the air. DIR. Mas
ters, who has not been up to his old
time STANDARD this spring, knocked
out clean string. Occasionally shoot
ers just nicked the targets, but in the
case of the two doctors Sunday they
pulverzed every target they hit and
they hit % straight. The sad feature
of the shoot was the fall down regis
tered by old reliable Hedger He had
broken 10 straight up to Sunday, and
on that occasion he missed slick and
clean the first two targets thrown.
That made him so hot in the collar
that he proceeded to break so straight.
Too bad he could not have counted his
string backward. With three straight
25s, "a and 23 the home sports who
were pitted for the day against the
ColfaX-Palouse team, thought they had
cinch on put-over, but were some
what disconnected to learn Sunday
evening that Colfax-Palouse men had
on their shooting duds for the day and
tied the score. At the shoot Sunday
the score made will go. against this
tie in the nature of shoot-off, as we'll
as count in the contest with the club
that the locals are pitted against ac-
cording to the shoot schedule. Hence
the double count is going to put the
club on it's metal and the best score
of the tournament is to be expected,
providing climatic conditions are any
ways favorable, and every member of
the club. and admiring friends, are
pulling hard for a still. cloudy day.

AN IMPORTANT SHOOT,

The Importance of the trap shoot
Sunday is urged upon every member
Of the club. Much depends upon the
result Of the score at this next shoot.
The club is pitted against Sunnyside
FOR the day, and the score not only
counts against Sunnyside, but is also
a shoot off of the tie with Colfax-Pa-
louise. Oroville is in line to win the
championship for the year, and that
will be easy if they shoot Sunday can
be won against both competitors. And
there is every reason to believe that
1t can be done. The members have been
improving every week since the con-
test opened and there are at least "A
dozen gunner that can reach the 25
class among the members. OF course
much depends upon the climatic COLI
but whatever these conditions
may be the leading shooters should
face the traps Sunday determined to
do their best. After the Sunday shoot
the club has. four more contests, and
those contests are against clubs that
so far have not figured in the highest
scores. The outlook Is most encourag-
ing for the local club to cop the bacon.

A FLASH IN THE PAN.

| The basket ball game scheduled at
the high school gym last Friday even
ing. between Omak and Oroville high
school teams, was very much of farce
greatly to the disappointment of the
players of both teams and the disgust
of the audience that had paid good
money to see a rather spurious contest
and all owing to the sudden unsports-
manlike action of the coach Of the
visiting team calling his boys off the
floor during the last half Of the game.
Why he took this arbitrary course is
past finding out, for Omak had the
game sewed up in a sack by an almost
two to one score We have been told
by those who were in a position to
know the sentiments of the visitors
that the Omak boys themselves felt
humiliated and agrieved at the action
of their coach:
We have noticed during a long eX-
perience in sports, as reporter and
participator, that it is almost an uni
versal weakness of visiting teams in
any contest of skill to claim that they
are getting the worst of it," protest
that they are very often ashamed of
in cooler moments. Possibly this dis
position grows out of the fact that the
sympathy of the crowd and which is
but natural, is with the home team
which gives an impression that in the
close decisions rendered by the referee
or umpire, the home team gets a shade
the best of it. Sometimes there are
grounds for this suspicion, although it
the visitors are so raw as to be obvious
to every one present
While we were not present at the
game under consideration we would
have to have better evidence than the
word of coach jealous of the rights
Of his team to convince us that the
Omak boys were given the harpoon in
the matter of decisions. This state
ment is ventured on the strength of
the reputation of the young man who
acted as referee on this occasion
Beverly Powell, who served in that
anything but desirable capacity, con-
tributed toward putting the Oroville
High School Athletic Association on
the map in his student days. After his
graduation he served time and again
as referee in basket ball games, and
he won credit among visitors for being
quick and accurate in judgment, fair
and impartial in his decisions and an
all round clean sportsman. He Off
ciated last Friday night. Looking at it
from a charitable point of view 1t was
rather shocking game to referee, be-
cause there was an absence of team
work on both sides. few brilliant
plays. good deal of rough and tumble
and consequently an unusual number
'of fouls. So far as can be learned
these fouls were about equally divided
Had the game been anywhere near
close, and decisions palpably partisan,
there might have been some excuse
for yankfng team off the floor with
out reaching a final decision. but the
score was one sided, with the losing
side hopelessly behind, no coarse work
on the part of the referee, and hence,
SO far as the crowd could see no
grounds for the abrupt and surprising
action of the Omak coach.
