XMAS AT CATH

lie pastor at the Catholic churcr
WISHES merry Christmas to all his
oear friends. On Christmas eve solemn
services, Hig Mass, sermon and heno'

tended to all.
why this JOY of Christmas? OF all the
seasons of the year the Cbristm.s
season is the most liked by all Yonpo
and old delight in it. The humble
nome re1oices as well as, and even
more so, than the gilded palace Mer-
chant. clerk capitalist laborer. teach-
er, student, all rejoice in Christmas
tide and hail its advent with delight
and strive to reap the fullness of its
joys. 1t is. of all the year, the most
gladsome, and every one seems happy
and is trying to make others happy bv
such deeds of kindness as it is in his
power to bestow. And why this gen.
eral Joy? 1t is that man. by common
consent have agreed on one day and
one time to lay aside differences and
TO rise above petty jealousies and
ascend to heigher conception of their
own and their brothers dignity and to
respect and to treat one another ac-
cordingly? Or is it that at the close of
one year by way of an act of thanks
giving and at the beginning of another
by way of hope they wish to have gen
eral joy and good will prevail in the
desire Of letting bygones be bygones
and all to begin anew fair and free
from anything of the past? No; this
does not explain the peace and joy,
the good will and kindness of Christ
mastide. 1t is now well nigh two
thousand years since this general joy
began and naught but the divine in
depreciation can explain it's uninter-
rupted continuance. If it were of
man like man, Christmastide would
have changed and passed away long
since, but it's institution was divine
and it draws it's continued life from
Him who began 1t on that day of days
when Christ the Saviour was born to
the world, and His message was sung
out on the midnight air by angel
voices singing GLORY to God in the
highest and peace on earth to men of

PAID FROM THE.
GRASS ROOTS

| Fred Till one of the oldest miners ol
Ithe Loomis country, was trelIing about
/ town Tuesday Few men in this upper
country know more about mining and
minerals than Fred Till, who has spent
many years handling the sledge and
drill, and we would bank on his judg-
ment as to the merits of mining
property where he has had an oppor-
tunity to make a thorough inspection.
For some months Mr.. Till has been
working at the Horn Silver, mine
located Just across the international
boundary, some seven miles west of
Nighthawk. He says the Horn Silver
is real mine, and it certainly has
proven to be such under operation. The
Horn Silver belongs to private indi-
viduals and nothing has been said re-
gardng the property in public print
but it is one of the mining wonders OF
the northwest. The owners have never
had to put up a dollar of their own
money to pay operating expenses The
mine has paid from the grass roots,
anu lhuCn ueNelOpnleHt Work mas peeH
done. The mine was opened directly on
the cropping ledge and ore shipments
commenced as soon as sufficient ore
was extracted to fill car, and ship
monts have been continuous yielding
a s eady income of sufficient volume
II pay all cost of oparat'Cr and a
handsome profit for the opere :ors. 1t
is not often that such mine is dis
covered, and from the fact that it eX-
are located it is safe to expect other
paying mines in the same locality.

TREATING A
COLD SUBJECT

win the excessive cold weather ty.
ing up about every activity and max.
ihs outdoor life almost unbearabde
l"e iocal reporter is largely confined
TO treating that subject at moro or
less length, and writing il m from,
inherent angles. 1t is certainly a bic
SUBJECT considering the fact that the
irlsldlty is out of the usual for tbis
season OF the year and there has hean
more OF 1t at single stretch than this
country mas ever before experienced
within the memory of that weather
authority, the oldest inhabitant al
though very often the memory of tha
OLDEST inhabitant is not always to he
implicitly relied on. as we are able to
testify to personally, being among the
anclents. Howsoeyer, a new record
mas been established in tbs north
country for severe cold, and a pro-
traeted dose of the same. We have
seen some very cold days in December
during the 36 or 81 years we have liv-
ed in eastern Washington, but dig
down into our memory tank as dill
gently as we can and we cannot nm
earth any meteorological experience in
the month of December to anywhere
compare with that which the west has
passed through during the past two
weeks. The cold has been extreme and
continues. Heretofore in this north
country few days severe cold has
been followed by a break and rising
temperature, but the change for the
better was slow coming this year.
although a marked improvement was
noticeable Tuesday While the cold
has been bitter here, and the popula
tion has done much protesting, yet
Oroville has been fortunate as COM
pared with other localities and about
the only really warm spot in the state.
There is hardly any place in the
where thermometers have
not registered from 5 to 40 degrees be-
low zero. Government weather records
at Spokane has recorded Is below. 1t
has been 20 below at Wenatchee. The
has touched 80 below at Mol
son and from 10 to 30 below at other
places down the valley and over east
ern Washington. The lowest point
reached by the mercury in the govern
ment thermometer at this place has
been 3 IL below, for one night, and
we have heard M nrA---<-- ~ f. -
cause the mercury has not reached
lower level. Our people are to be con-
graduated that they are living so near,
if not directly in, the orange belt.

"A daughter was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Daily of Keremeos, at the Oro-
Vile General hospital Thursday night
of last week, and happy household

Tuesday night the water coil in the
range at the Hotel Radburne burst
with the result that the lower floor
of that large hotel was flooded with

by the deluge.
A letter from R. Grieger living Ill

nation that we have had of Dooley +
Wheeler. since Mr.. Wheeler left Oro-
Vile bv auto for California some
weeks ago. The Wheelers visited the
Grieger family at San Francisco upcr

WANTS THE GAME
BIRDS WELL FED

A letter from l.. II. Darwin, state
game warden, says: Reports show
there is general snow fall over the
state Of Washington, and indications
are that it may lay on the ground for
some time. May | suggest that you
take up with your game commission
right away the matter OF arranging to
feed the birds while snow continues
to lay on the ground The north end
of the county is without snow at this
writing, but just the same the cold
weather would justify the feeding OF
game birds. 1t is hardly necessary to
urge the Okanogan county game COM
mission on to do all within the power
of that body to save the birds, for the
members have shown in the past that
they are keen to conserve the game
birds and increase the supply OF game
fish. and will not hesitate to do all IN
their power to guard the birds during
the inclement weather. The birds nave
been fed in past winters and they Will
be fed again this winter.

LOSES LECCS IN
TRAIN ACCIDENT

Saturday at $50 p. m., when pas
senger train No. 256 from Spokane.
under charge of Conductor ]. F. Get
sey and Engineer A. E. Brody pulled
into Danville three men with packs.
who had boarded the train at Grand
Forks, got off. After inspection by the
customs officer at that station, which
is directly on the boundary line, these
men threw their packs on the baggage
car and fingered on the platform,
making no attempt to get on board
until the train was under way One of
the men, Chas. Radigan. supposed to
be resident of Republic, as his faith
er has been employed with the Great
Northern railroad at that city for
number of years, slipped on the ice as
he attempted to step upon the steps
of the car he was about to enter and
fell between the platform and the
moving train. In that cramped space
his legs fell across the rail and two
cars passed over them One of the legs
was completely severed just below the
knee and the ether crushed TO a pulp
just above the ankle. The train was
stopped and bystanders and the crew
rushed to the assistance of the unfor-
tunate man. Within the brief period
from the time of the injury until aid
reached the injured man the cold was
so intense that one of the injured legs
was frozen to the rail and ground and
had to be chopped loose. Medical as
sistance was summoned at once from
Danville and in the meantime one of
the crew, that had seen service abroad
and had a first aid kit on the train,
bound up the wounds and checked the
hemorrhage. Radigan was placed in
the baggage car and the train backed
back to Grand Forks where he was
taken to a hospital. 1t was hardly ex-
pected that Radigan could recover
from his injuries.

HEMINGWAY.WELLER.

Occasionally the Gazette overlOoks
an item which is not to be wondered
at. as the reporter is neither omnis-
cient nor omnipresent, and hence we
skipped piece of news of consider
able importance, last week, especially
to those Immediately interested. We
have reference to the marriage Of A.
f. Hemingway and Mrs. E. L. Weller.
Mr. Hemingway came into the county
as a salesman for the Washington
Tire and Rubber company, and largely
through his representations Mrs.
Weller was an investor In the stock
of that company. From the acquaint-
ance made in this transaction grew up
closer relationship between Mr..
Hemingway and Mrs. Weller that rip
ened in the attachment that finally
resulted in the marriage. Other stock
holders in this tire company may fin
ally realize handsomely upon their in
vestment, but dollars and cents will
be small return in comparison with
| the happiness that has come to these
| two stockholders, for which the tire
company can be held responsible. Mr.,
Hemingway demonstrated his salts
faction with this part of the state by
buying a ranch west of town some
weeks ago, and upon that ranch Mr..
and Mrs. Hemingway are now making
their home. May the best of good for
tune be the portion of these newly
weds is the wish of the Gazette.

RECLAMATION
BOARD ROW

From all reports that come seepirg
through, by wire and word of mouth,
the meeting of the state reclamation
board at Olympia last week must have
verged closely on to a rough house.
| and the little go between the monkey
and the parrot was a friendly ex-
and the parrot was friendly exchange
OF pleasantries in comparison to the
ordinations and recriminations in
,dulged in at that meeting. Marvin l..
Chase, state hydraulic engineer and
chairman of the reclamation board,
openly charged E. NJ Chandler. state
reclamation engineer and the individ-
ual who made an adverse report on
the proposed Whitestone irrigation
system, with INSTRUMENTATION ineffi-
cheney and inability to deal with the
general public and Chandler got back
with some of the same kind of dope
Mr.. Chase demanded that Chandler be
dismissed from the board. This, the
board refused to do. Then Governor
Hart took a hand in the proceedings
and being informed that the board had
not taken any action in the Chandler
case, he stated that it would be neces-
sary for Chase to resign as chairman
of the board. Mr. Chase offered his
resignatiJG which was accepted in
stanter. and the board was reorganiz-
ed by the election of w. w. Sherman,
state treasurer as chairman, Mr..
Chase continuing as a member.
A number of residents of this coun-
ty, interested in the Whitestone pro-
ject, among them j. F. Samson and c.
NJ. Zediker, of Orovile, were present
in the interests of that proposition. 1t
was evident form the temper of the
board that it would not act favorably
upon the project so that the friends of
that enterprise withdrew all consider
alton of the subject from the board
and it is alleged that the system will
be carried out without the aid Of the
state. That the land will be put under
water there is no question and the
watering of that land will add mater
ial wealth to the county. For product
iveness there is no better land in
eastern Washington, as the several re-
claimed tracts in that locality go to
show. Through the action Of this man
Chandler in the past in his adverse
reports upon the feasibility of the pro-
ject it is evident that from some cause
terpretations grounded upon what
evidence we do not pretend to know,
he has a strong prejudice against the
northern part of Okanogan county at
least, and it is felt that no matter
what merit the Whitestone project
might possess, or what merit might
be possessed by any other similar
in this part Of the county,
present or prospective, Chandler
would not give it his official sanction.

WATER AND SOIL
TO BE DISCUSSED

The seventh annual meeting OF the
Washington Irrigation Institute metts
at Spokane on January Sth and 9th at
which all themes connected with the
very important subject OF irrigation
will be taken up and discussed, anu
discussed by men whose experleuc :
entities them to talk intelligently upon
the subject. There is no county IN the
state where irrigation is OF more vital
importance than Okanogan county
where irrigation and the beneficial IN
fluences of irrigation is just beginning
TO be felt, not only as to the pro1ects
already finished and perfected, when
have added much wealth to the county
and has been the means OF placing
numerous property owners on Easy
street, but of the several that now ai
in the formulative stage and "hlch M aie
to be carried out during the next lie"
wears. Everybody in this county Is III
lterested in irrigation, directly OF inui
rectlv. and Okanogan county should p'
very largely represented at the com
ing meeting of the institute.

expect that the masquerade this year
will be the biggest thing Off the kind
that has ever taken place in Oroville,
