NEW CITIZEN,

Harry Ingham, the wizard with the
trap drum and the multitude Of mel
ody producing contraptions that are
connected with trap drumming, has
taken up his residence in Oroville,
and is holding a position with Bob.
Jackson. at his confectionery store.
Mr.. lngham is a valuable assistant in
any line of business, as he gives the
best of his time and attention to pat
rons. thus promoting the business of
the person for whom he is working,
and also a valuable citizen, as he is a
genial and likeable gentleman. Fur
thermore, it is fortunate that Oroville
has won Mr.. Ingham as a resident on
account of his superior musical at
tainments, for it is safe to predict his
coming here will be followed by the
'resuscitation of the Oroville band, an
organization that at one time was
classed among the best brass bands
in eastern Washington Indeed the ru-
(mor is current that with the arrival
|of Mr.. Ingham movement is already
on foot to reorganize the band, and

the prestige that 1t held for a number

These figures do not include Idaho
The report states that Idaho last year
produced 100000 tons. Much of this
was shipped into Washington This
year, it is stated, because from infec-
tions from boil weevil, Idaho will bare
ly have sufficient hay to meet local
needs.
Montana already is shipping in hay
from Minnesota and South Dakota. A
large demand is coming from Montana
for Washington hay. Summing up the
hay situation the bulletin says:
by comparing the hay supply Of last
year in the four northwestern states
with the hay supply of this year, keep
ing in mind the prices that were re-
ceived last year for that product, one
should be able to make reasonably re-
liable estimate of what should be the
prevailing prices for hay for the re-
mainder of the season.
There is no shortage of hay in East
|ern Washington now and prices are not
yet as high as they were year ago.
Alfalfa hay, it is stated can be purchas-
ed readily now in carload lots at
around $50 a ton. The prediction Is
freely made however. that the price
will be $40 to $45 ton before next
spring"

The state fish commissioner ia
using the Influence of his office to
increase the future game fish supply
of the state by the annual distribution
of fry in the various streams and lakes
Of Washington. Among the hatcheries
under direction of the state game de-
partment of fishries that located near
Pateros is probably one of the best.
and from it vast quantities of fry are
distributed through eastern Wash
ington. The following Is letter from
Commissioner L. H. Darwin to Clay
Fruit, of Tonasket, chairman Of the
Okanogan county game commission
which shows that this part of the state
is to be supplied with a large quantity
of silver trout fry:
Next Monday We will transfer one
million silver trout eggs to our Pater-
os-Methow hatchery at Pateros. The
fry resulting from these eggs Will be
given to Okanogan and Chelan coun-
ties for planting, possibly about five
hundred thousand to each county.
Il think this is possibly one of the
largest single allotments of trout fry
ever made your county and | believe
we are going to be able to increase 1t
before the season is over"

Northwest farmers are facing hay

according to bulletin just published

much short in Washington, Oregon

situation is further aggravated by the
prospect of long winter, whereas the

nay feeding was cut to minimum.
The northwest situation is summed
up as follows:

TAKEN INTO CAMP.

! Outweighed and outplayed the Orc
vile high school football team wen
down to defeat Saturday afternoon
before the onslaught of the heavier
more peppery and better drilled Omal
| high school bunch. 1t was not an ig
nomanious defeat. however. although
the score was so lopsided. for the
midgets of the local eleven struggled
manfully against overwhelming odds
With little more experience the To-
calls will give Omak a run for it.
money in future contests.
From the kick off it was evident
that Oroville had not a ghost Of @
show to win, and all the boys could
do was to hold the score down as
close as possible. Within the first five
minutes after the whistle blew start
| ing the ball rolling, Omak had crush
ed through the defense and secured a
clean touchdown After that the locals
braced up. and while four other touch
downs followed during the game
Omak had to do much more hard
work in order to get the ball over the
line. At no time was there a hope of
Oroville scoring except during the
last few minutes of the last canto
Then they were in near sight Of the
goal. Only two or three yeards stood
! in the way of a touchdown, but in the
crucial test the locals did not have
the beef to push the pigskin over the
line.
1t was not a scientific exhibition
of the great school game, nor was a
scientific game expected from the
raw, light weight teams, but it was
none the less interesting and at times
exciting, and the crowds that fringed
the side lines derived no little pleas
ure from the exhibition, while the
rooters for the two schools kept the
atmosphere pretty well stirred up
with school yells and urgent calls
upon the players to tear things up,
the partisanship sometimes verging
upon rough house tactics. On the
gridiron the playing had the virtue
of being clean sport, wholly devoid of
wrangling over questionable decisions
but that is the kind of game both
teams play, and there were no sore
spots when the end came, except the
few bruises that are inseparable from
that rough sport. Two of the Omals
players were slightly hurt, but the
injuries were not of a serious nature
From the side lines it looked as il
Omak could make yardage almost at
any time either by end runs, bucking
the line or on passes, two of the lat
ter playing an important part in Sc
curing scores. They were sadly off
kicking goal, as in five attempts they
failed to get the ball over the bar
About the only way the locals could
make progress was by headon buck
ing the line, and unfortunately they
did not settle on that method Of pro-
cedure until too late in the game.
Then the home team was handicapped
by the fact that two or three of the
heaviest players were entirely in
capacitated and out of the game, or
had to play out of their regular po-
sitions. Possibly had the full team
been in prime condition it would have
made no difference in the final re-
suit, although the score would have
been different from the figures, which
were 80 to O.
