TOWN ELECTION.

The regular annual town election
takes place Tuesday, December 2, at
which time four councilmen are to be
chosen. 1t is up to the residents of the
town to select men for this office who
can be depended upon to do something
for the good of the town. Commencing
next year Orovlle is going to face
several of the most important years
in it's history. This declaration is not
guess work. Any one with half an eye
can readily see that Oroville has held
back and has not advanced in step
with the advancement of the surround
ing country. There are cOntributury
resources near at hand to justify and
support town much larger than Oro-
Vile is today, and in consequence Oro-
vile is going to step ahead beginning
next year and catch up with the coun-
try. This radical change for the better
is in the air. Everybody is talking
about it, and that talk is not confined
to the residents of the town. 1t is con-
ceded by everybody visiting Oroville
that it is an ideal town site and an
ideal location for a town. Its growth
cannot be prevented if all the people
now here should go to sleep at the
switch. And they are not going to do
that. 1t will be combined push and
the influx of new blood that is going
to make the big transformation.

TO OUR PATRONS.

Owing to the fact that Thanksgiving
falls on Thursday of next week, the
forms of this paper will be closed one
day in advance, so that any changes in
advertisements, or new advertisements,
must reach this office not later than
Tuesday. Everybody has some good
grounds for giving thanks, and this
force feels that it is no more than fair
that it should have day off, and while
revelling in an extra feed of bully beef
and crackers offer up thanksgiving
that they are privileged to live another
year, enjoying good health and a long
shoreman's appetite. Thanksgiving will
be a general holiday and labor on that
day is not expected. anyhow, and get
ting out this great moral journal one
day ahead is not going to work hard
ship on any one but those upon whom
the labor of extra hustling falls in or
der to turn the trick. So help us earn
the day off by placing your orders for
space or changes at as early day
next week as possible.

Just before going to press the sad
word reached this office of the death
of M. X. Bowen at his home in the
Ellis-Forde Orchard Tracts, after a
long illness. The death of Mr.. Bowen
was not unexpected, but it is none the
less a shock to his friends, and he has
many warm and sincere friends thro-
ught the northern part of the county,
where he has lived for a number Of
years. A most worthy citizen o: sterl-
ing character was NJ. X. Bowen and
his death is loss to the entire county.
The residents of Oroville extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family. The funeral will take place
from the late residence of the deceased
this Friday afternoon.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The teachers institute held at Okla
hogan last week was generally spoken
of as the best ever held in the county.
The teachers quite agree that they
have attended few if any institutes that
were more interesting and helpful. The
instructors worked like a team and
gave of their wealth of information
and inspiration to attentive audiences.
The State college was represented by
DR.. McCulla who heads the English de-
partment at that institution. His lec-
lures on the Least Practical Subject"
| and Kipling will not soon be forgotten.
| He is a most pleasing speaker and his
perfect command of the English lang
uage alone is a delight to his listners.
DR.. Black, president of the Ellensburg
Normal and Prof. Klemme, head Of the
extension department of the Belling-
ham Normal, both won their way into
| the hearts of the teachers of this coun-
! ty. DR.. Black in his lectures on "The
Three Dimension Man" and Business
Administration of School Districts, in
troduced his audience to many new
and helpful ideas, while Prof Klemme,
with his fine sense of humor and won
derful store of facts filled his audience
with new inspiration and determine
ton to make this the best school year
Prof Woody, head of the department Of
tests and measurements at the State
University. renewed our interest in
this very important field and enlight-
ened our minds particularly in its ap-
plicaton to foreign languages and
reading.
1t must be said that "Americanism"
was the watchword of this institute
and the teachers are going to their re-
spective schools with the idea Of
stressing more than ever before the
ideals and principles of this great ma
ton.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

by the President of the United
States of America:
! "A proclamation.
THE season of the year has again
arrived when the people of the United
States are accustomed to unite In CIV
ing thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings which he has conferred up
on our country during the twelve
months that have passed. A year ago
our people poured out their hearts In
praise and thanksgiving; through d.
vine aid the right was victorious and
peace had come to the nation which
had so courageously struggled In de-
Tense of human liberty and Justice
Now that the stern task Is ended and
the fruits of achievement are ours, We
| look forward with confidence to the
dawn of new era where the sacri-
! fices of the nations will find recon-
,pense in a world at peace.
| But to attain the consummation OF
the great work to which the American
people devoted their manhood and the
vast resources of their country they
should, as they give thanks to God. re-
jconsecreate themselves to these prin-
ciples of right which triumphed
through his merciful goodness. Our
gratitude can find no more perfect ex-
preston than to bulwark with loyalty
and patriotism those principles for the
which the free peoples of the earth
fought and died.
During the past year we have had
much to make us grateful; in spite of
the confusion in our economic life re-
sulting from the war, we have pros
pered. Our harvests have been plen-
tiful and of our abundance we have
been able to render succor to less fav-
lored nations. Our democracy remains
unshaken in. a world torn with political
and social unrest Our traditional
ideals are still our guides in the path
of progress and civilization.
These great blessings, vouchsafed
to us, for which we devoutly give
thanks, should arouse US to a fuller
sense of our duty to ourselves and to
mankind to see to it that nothing we
may do shall mar the completeness of
thC NltlOiy NulSll We uclpcu W Will.
No selfish purpose animated us in be-
coming a participant in the world war,
and with like spirit of usefulness we
should strive to aid by our example
land by our cooperation in realizing
the enduring welfare Of all peoples in
bringing into being a world ruled by
friendship and good will
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, Pres
ident of the United States Of America,
hereby designate Thursday, the 9th
day of November, next, for observance
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer by
my fellow countrymen, inviting them
to cease on that day from their ordi-
nary tasks and to unite in their homes
and in their several places of worship
in ascribing praise and thanksgiving to
God, the author of all blessings and the
Master of our destinies.
"In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done in the District Of Columbia
this fifth day of November in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and nineteen, and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and forty-fourth.
Signed: Woodrow Wilson,"

WILL LOCATE HERE.

J Steve Cloud of Conconully spent
several days in Oroville last week, and
was Joined by his wife while here
After looking over the valley Mr.. and
lis. Cloud returned to their home at
the old county seat. They will only
jspend the winter in Conconully, and
will return to Oroville in the spring
| to make their permanent home. Mr.
CLOUD, who is an old time railroad en-
lago from Michigan City, Ind, and
latter living in that place for num-
Der of years, moved to Conconully
where he has since made his home.
THE government is building an addi-
tional dam at Conconully to conserve
more water for use on the government
Irrigation scheme around Omak and
lOkanogan, which has suffered in the
past few years owing to shortage of
water, the original dam below Con-
!conully having an inadequate capacity
to supply sufficient water to cover the
land under tie system. More water
had to be supplied and an additional
across the south end of the canyon in
which is located Salmon lake, a long
marrow sheet of water. This lake is to
be used as a reservoir, and by that
means an abundance of water can be
conserved. With the construction Of
this dam considerable of the adjacent
land had to be condemned and pur-
oh h,,t -,
residence and lots was part of this
land needed, the property was pur
chased by the government and the
Clouds were out Of happy home. In
looking around for a new location Mr.
Cloud considered that Oroville and
the country Immediately surrounding
had the brightets future and held out
the most attractive inducements for a
man looking for new location, so he
hiked down here and looked over the
| field. Mr. Cloud must have been born
lucky, as he had the good fortune to
| find an improved orchard tract, the
one formerly owned by Sam Sincock,
of Tonasket, that could be purchased
at most attractive price. Mr.. Cloud
did not hesitate long after seeing the
tract, and in conjunction with Guy
Fruit closed the deal, each taking two
and a half acres. Mr. Cloud, who is a
carpenter and has much knowledge
of brick making, will return early in
the spring, put himself up neat resi-
dence and settle down on his new
purchase. A most likeable old scout is
Steve Cloud, and we welcome him as
valuable addition to the residents of
the valley.

The Okanogan Independent says
that ''in the percentage of population
subscribing to the Victory Loan, Okla
hogan county made a record of which
This county stands third in the state
with a percentage of 1922" Only two
counties lead Okanogan, King, with a
percentage of 1886, and Clallam coun-
! ty with a percentage of 1898. This
county subscribed $2S2,150, with a
quota of s256,O5O. The number of in
dividual subscriptions was 2477.
Last Thursday evening a number of
the ex-service men of this place met
and formulated a resolution demand
ing that congress pass stringent laws
making it a felony for radicals to
preach or publish disloyalty to this
government The resolution was tele-
graphed on to Senator Poindexter. The
same action was taken by Loyal Le-
gon posts all over the coast. The kill
! ing of four ex-soldiers at Centralia
has aroused the ex-soldiers, who are
just swilling to fight revolutionary
organizations at home IN order to
safeguard the government as they
were to fight the Hun abroad to save
democracy The l. w. w. cannot in
timidate the ex-service men, and ii
was fatal day for that disloyal gang
when they resorted to murder to show
their enmity to the returned soldiers
and sailors.

had been promised in the way of first

entertainment line out Of the ordinary
was demonstrated by the record break
