Brief mention was made in the
Gazette last. week Of patient in the
Oroville General hospital going in
sane and severely injuring a nurse
by striking her in the head with a
heavy. tumbler and the difficulty ex-
perienced taking him into custody
Owing to the floods making travel
impracticable so that he could not
be Immediately taken to Okanogan
the unfortunate man had to be held
here in duress. 1t was absolutely
necessary to keep him confined as IT
was not safe to give him his freedom
His condition was pitiful in the ex-
treme. He was on his knees almost
all the time that he was awake Shout
ing over and over again God take
me to my mother" at times in so loud
a voice that he could be heard for a
block. His face was congested and
in his eyes there was more the look of
pleading fear than raging insanity.
The name of this victim of dementia
is Ballard Mckinney aged about 2S
years, an old resident of the Eipling
neighborhoOd, a few miles east of
Oroville. He is a prosperous farmer,
living with his mother and sister.
He has followed farming for a num-
ber of years and those who know him
not only say that he is well-to-do,
but that he has always been a most
industrious and worthy citizen. He
is very highly spoken of by his neigh
bors. He has mother, two sisters
and three brothers living. He has
not been well for some time and had
come down to the Oroville General
hospital to place himself under treat.

not say what is responsible for his
losing his mental balance. All who
know him and the family trust that
he may in time recover his reason.

PROVIDING A MARKET

S. B. Coon. the Spokane manager of
the Puyallup and Sumner Fruit
Growers Canning Co., of which W..
II. Paulhamus is president, spent a
day in Oroville the latter part of last
week for the purpose of meeting as
many land owners in this vicinity as
possible to interest them in raising
certain fruits for this cannery, which
has, or is to have, large establish
ment in Wenatchee. What success
he met with we have not been inform
ed, but Mr.. Coon certainly pointed ont
how growers Of this locality could
depend upon certain market if they
would raise certain lines OF small
fruits and vegetables. One of the
great drawbacks to valley farming
has been the difficulty of reaching
market with smaller quantities of
products than car load lots, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Coon's statement the
cannery he represented provided that
market, and sure one. The line of
fruits, berries and vegetables wanted
are black currents, gooseberries
black raspberries, strawberries. Ita!-
ian prunes, pie cherries, damson
plums, yellow egg plums. green gage
plums, Bartlett pears. Gull apples
appricots, tomatoes and spinach. Any
OF these can be raised in abundance
under the ditch and the cannery IL
prepared to take any quantity thai
may be raised.

| day and seventeen shooters including
three visitors and two beginners were
on hand to try their luck over the
Oroville traps. Fully fifty spectators
were lined up back of the shooters
to see how it is done. There were no
record scores made but the five high
made team score of 1902, which is
the same as was made the previous
Sunday. This score wouldn't win
much in the tournament, but with
regular practice the club expects to
turn in better scores when the tour
nament begins.
c. B. Powell made high score ont
of his first 25 by breaking 23. Leo.
Whistler tried his 20 gauge again but
only broke Z of his first string. He
tried IL gauge on his second string
and smashed II of them. Leo. is only

reported in which the family suffered
not only from the disease but from
inadequacy of aid that of the family
Of III. Fl. Scott. living on the mountain
west of town, seems most deplorable.
Four members of the family, incud-
ing Mr.. Scott, were taken down at
the same time. They had no tele-
phone in the house, and while neigh
bors were not remote there was no
way to send word as to the prevail
ing conditions. At last aid did ar

treated the family most successfully
They all recovered, but Mr.. Scott

Mr.. Scott was in town Tuesday for
the purpose of proving up on his
homestead and was still suffering
from a very severe cough and weak
ness as legacy from the malady.

Judge Wallace Mount has introduc-
ed bill in the legislature which pro-
vides for the division of Stevens
county by converting all that por-
ton of Stevens county, west of Kettle
river and north of thesColumbia river

is questionable at this time whether
there is any wisdom in the scheme OF
division. and those opposed to it are
preparing to make their wishes known
before the Legislatures. In time the
division CT the countyNupon the lines

of Stevens, but instead of naming the
new county Eureka as was at tirst

Religion Worth Having.

A religion that cannot be brought into every phase of life Is not worth having; and the affairs of life that cannot be maintained side by side with Christ's teachings ought to be scranped without delay. And until the brother hood movement rises to its responsible ties and makes these facts plain, Il will fail to be the power it may be lts privilege to become.
