A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its
functions. You become constipat-
ed. The food you eat ferments in
your stomach instead of digesting.
This inhames the stomach and
causes nausea, vomiting and a ter
rible headache. Take three of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up YOUR liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as
we'll as ever. They only cost a
quarter.-Adv.

SORELY TRIED OFFICIAL

During the latter part of last week
Commissioner Mitchell was the mos.
persistently wanted man in the north
part of the county, and the unpre-
cedented floods, for this season of the
year, were responsible for eager de-
mand for his presence. The heavy
rain and chinook wind made trouble
enough in Mr.. Mitchell's district to

ing to s. 0. S. calls for help Bridges
and roads everywhere had gone out
with the flood, and the discommoded
public had an idea that all that was
necessary was to call up Mitch and
he would hustle down and replace the
same. But it was better than a one
man job, and he could only relieve the
anxious with promises. Mr.. Mitchell
got down to Oroville Friday last, trav-
cling over the road down Tonasket
creek, and was annoyed as we'll As
surprised by the devastation that
that usually orderly stream had

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

Among the sections of State Road
No. 10. which are slated for improve
ment is what is designated by the
Okanogan Independent as the LAUDER
gulch project, the improvement to
cover a distance of Ala miles. To
those who have ever travelled over
this main artery of travel down the
valley condemnation of the existing
conditnons is not necessary. The
Keeping up of that shout stretch CT
highway has been a knotty problem
for the authorities to solve for years
At times the road has been almost I'M
passable and at no time has it been
creditable stretch of highway TO
the county. Many accidents have oc-
Cured at that particular spot, and
the only wonder is that there have
not been more. Hundreds of dollars
have been spent in repairs but there
has never been permanent construc-
ton. 1t is estimated that it will re-
quire $22,9S5.56 (the 56 cents prob
ably being figured in as the profit OF
the contractor). to make such i'm
provements as are deemed necessary,
and the appropriation of SO large
sum for so short distance will give
|some idea of the extent of the wori:
required to make a real road at that
place. However. that piece of work
may be consireded dirt cheap when
We read that $S,092.56 are to be en-
pended graveling one piece of road
for distance of 1.6 miles, and
so, 9,494.99 for one mile of grave on
another road.

EPIDEMIC DYING OUT

1t is a relief to be able to report
that the influenza epidemic has about
run its course in this community, pos
sibly largely because there is little
more material to work on. The fam
lily that has not been affected is an
exception to the rule, and such house,
holds can consider themselves ey-
ceedingly fortunate. OF the many
cases all the patients with a single
exception are doing nicely and we'll
on toward recovery. Only one or two
isolated new cases are reported. Dr.
Lewis announces that schools will be
and scholars will be permitted to get
busy again, and try and make some
pi ogress during the balance of the
school year. The term can be of little
value to either the faculty or the pu-
pills. but that is no fault of teachers
or children. Fortunately, and thanks
be to Providence. the ranks OF neither
the one or the other have Deen re-
duced by death notwithstanding the
number of cases, and that is more
than can be said for any other school
of the same number of pupils and
teachers in the country, taking into
consideration the number OF instrIc
tors and children who have suffered
from the malady. The loss of school
attendance can be made up, it can be
rectified with time, but there Is no
compensation for death. Better that
the schools should remain closed
than that single person old or
young, should be called by death. 1t
is not now claimed that there may
not be a revival of the disease Only
we all hope and trust that We have
seen an end to this, the most terrible
pestilence that has ever visited the
American people. 1t is up to every
old and young, who may at
tend school to exercise every precau-
ton against revival of the epidemic
No pupil with any symptom of influ-
enza should be permitted to enter |
school, and it is a duty that parents
owe themselves, their children and
public to see to it in case there are
symptoms of the disease that others
are not exposed to infection.

UNPRECEDENTED FLOODS

Never within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant has there ever been
seen such a food of water at this
season of the year as that which
swept down off the hills last Thurs
day, carrying away bridges, erasing
roads and covering the low lands
with debris. Out of every draw lead
| ing down from the hills gushed forth
| torrents. Small streams that are
generally dry ten months in the year
became raging rivers. They cut out
new channels in their headlong rush
to the Okanogan river, and swept
away everything in their path. To.
nasket creek, directly east of town.
became a torrental river. It's course
through the valley is merely a shall
low ditch, not Of sufficient capacity
to carry one hundredth part Of the
water that burst from the hills, and
as a consequence river cut across
the alfalfa and orchard lands of the
valley, doing considerable damage. II
rushed down the main road toward
the bridge at the creamery, a black.
angry, roaring flood, and what 1t did
to that road is shocking to behold
The cause of this excess of water
was an extraordinary heavy rain. All
night Wednesday night the rain fell
heavily. accompanied by chinook
wind. Several days before consider
able snow had fallen, and the COM
bination of melting snow and rain
provided the liquid material for the
flood that followed. Then the ground
being frozen there was nothing for
it to do but slide down hill, and it
slid with a vengeance. All of the
bridges and culverts along Tonasket
creek and other smaller streams were
obliterated. What is worse the roads
were torn out in places for long dis
tance, and it will put the county to
great expense to put those highways
in passable condition
At Tonasket and in that vicinity
the damage done was greater than at
any other point in the valley. Siwash
and Boneparte creeks were on a RAM
page. Water stood three feet deep
in some parts of the town, and
telephone report stated that water
was six inches deep in the Times Of
flee. Considerable property damage
was done by the flooding of cellars
in the business district Water fiow-
ed over the platform at the depot.
The railroad was hit hard. Five
bridges were washed out between To-
nasket and Barker, distance of III
miles. The trains that left here
Thursday morning got only as far as
Tonasket. A pile driver was sent in
from Marcus and bridge and section
crew were jumped on the job repair
ing the damage. The track was not
open to travel until late Friday nighr.
Between here and Tonasket the low
valley lands were pretty generally
covered with water the road on the
west side near Ellisforde was lake
for considerable distance. The
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation dis
trict did not escape, as some fiume
and ditch We're washed out, although
the damage to the system was not
so great as was feared at first. Of
course the county and the railroad
sustain the greatest loss from this un-
seasonable flood although when it is
all summed up it will be found that
land owners along the valley have
not escaped without loss.

INEXCUSABLE INEFFICIENCY

The case of James Brooks of this
place, serving in France, is an illus
tration of the inefficiency or indiffer.
ence of that branch of the war de-
partment that handles the casualty
lists of the army. At one time last
summer young Brooks was reported
by wire from the. department as
among the missing, and in the mail
almost the same day his mother re-
ceived a letter from him stating that
he had been wounded but was al
most recovered. Some weeks later
Ia sister Of Mr. Brooks brought
la letter to this office from the
soldier stating that he was well,
and as she stepped out doors she was
handed a telegram from the depart
ment saying that James Brooks was in
the hands of the Germans prisoner.
Some time later this error was cor
rected, but the family suffered all
kinds of anxiety and misery over the
conflicting reports. For several
months no letter came from James.
and applications to the department
and to the Red Cross information
bureau failed to secure any satisfac-
tion. This week Mrs. Brooks rereiv-
ed a letter from her son. He is a
member of the 47th Division, Fourth
