This being true, it is easy to believe

A CORRECTION.

sometimes newspare is led into
an error by accepting street rumors
as the basis of news. This paper was

tioh OF fact in the issue of last week
IL was stated that George Bailey had
resigned his position as manager ot
.ne III Z. E. Blackwell & Co., store at
iohasket and was going into business
ior himself. The report that reached
this office seemed based on fact as
the name of the person that Mr.. Bailey
was going into partnership with was
given. we did not see Mr. Bailey dur
ing the celebration, and unfortunately
did not take the trouble to have the
report confirmed, accepting the rumor
as authentic. The paper made an ex-
tended notice of the supposed change.
because the editor has known Mr..
Bailey for years, counts him among
his warmest friends, and has a great
admiration for his business ability.
There was no intention on our part to
do the company for which Mr.. Bailey
has worked for so many years an in

1t turns out that there was absolutely
nothing in the report Mr.. Bailey has
no intentions of leaving the position
he has filled so long and capably as
head of the TOnasket branch of the
c. E. Blackwell & Co.. stores, nor has
the company any desire to lose the
services of their valuable employee.

DEATH OF w. NJ. CHRISTY,

This neighbOrhood lost good citi-
zen and a mourning widow devoted
husband When William Martin Christy
passed away Wednesday of last week,
after a. lingering illness. Some time
ago Mr.. Christy was operated on, but
his ailment had reached stage that
operating could not provide relief,
and the unfortunate man gradually
failed, death finally coming to his re-
lief. The funeral took place Thursday
last from the Barnes undertaking par
lOr and in the absence of a minister
Mr.. Barnes conducted the funeral SER
vices. Interment was in Odd Fellows
cemetery.
The deceased had been farming east
of Oroville for some years and is high
lily spoken of by all who knew him in
life as an Industrious, reliable and up
right citizen. He was born August 25,
1865 at Covington, KY, and hence was
"a years, IL months, and 16 days Of
age. He left home at the age of 13,
coming west and has always provided
for himself from those tender years.
He has no relatives in the west, but a
large number of friends who will re-
gret to learn of his death. He was
married to Miss Anna Woods, at
Davenport, WASH, November 4, 1912,
she coming out from the east to join
him. They moved to Portland, Oregon,
and came to Okanogan county from
that city.

MORE WATER REQUIRED.

The town authorities are trying to
Figure out some way of increasing the
water supply. The present reservoir
System has served the purpose for
|eight years, but the town has out
|grown the capacity of that reservoir.
The number of consumers has in
creased to such an extent that the
water commissioner is compelled to
keep the pumps working constantly to
meet the daily demand for water. I'm
|doubtedly there is a great waste of
water during the hot weather. This
can hardly be guarded against, be-
cause many people make no effort to
comply with the regulation in regard
to the use of water. Walking around
town during sprinkling hours 1t Is
nothing unusual to see water running
down the streets from overflowing
yards, an unnecessary waste. Then
users are careless in abiding strictly
to the hours when they are permitted
to sprinkle and it is not unusual for
some users to let the water flow all
night If the town could afford 1t, this
reckless waste of water could be cor
rected by the installation Of meters.
After a few of the abusers of the priv
ilege of using water had to pay a good
stiff price for the excess water used
for a month or two they would exef-
else little more care in sprinkling.
However, the town is confronted with
the fact that a water system Of larger
capacity must be provided very soon.
and the problem should be solved with
care and due consideration to future
growth. 1t is a civic betterment that
requires careful consideration, and no
steps should be taken until expert ad-
vice can be secured. The town can not
afford to make a mistake when 1t
comes to the water supply, and It were
better to go to some expense investi-
eating than commit an error that may
be many times more expensive In the
end

A DAY OFF FOR FARMERS.

Friday, July 25, which comes around
a week from today, has been selected
by the farmers and dairymen OF this
immediate vicinity for holding an all
day picnic, and the spot chosen is
what is known as the City Park a
shady little grove on the west shore of
Osoyoos lake, only short distance
above town, where there is a fine
bathing beach. Among the special
features of the day will be speaking on
subjects that particularly interest the
farmer. Prof. Karl Musser, of the ex-
tension department of the State Col
|lege, will be the chief speaker and his
subject will be "Silos and Silage Crops
for Okanogan County" and more
important subject upon which every
farmer desires reliable information,
could not have been selected. Aside
from the pleasure that all who attend
will derive from this picnic, the an
|nouncement that Prof. Musser is to
speak upon a matter of such vital I'M
portance to the farmer should be an
inducement to draw very large
crowd. County Agriculturalist Walter
In. Holt, who has always a valuable
message for the farmer, will also
speak. Especially for the benefit of the
ladies Miss Della Delvin, home demon
stration agent for the county, will
speak upon subjects especially inter
esting to the female contingent Every
| body is cordially invited to attend this
picinc. Bring your lunch baskets and
prepare to have a day off and good
| time.

defective at times. Moreover, Mr.. Wag-
Iner is not biped from Keremeos, as
he nests at Hedley, and was a wholly
|disinterested visitor when invited to
umpire the game at this place. But
we do wish to take exceptions to the
claim that Hubbard was not treated
fairly in the ninth inning. The writer
WAS standing by the umpire and the
Icaptains of the teams when ground
rules were made and accepted by both
sides. One of these rules was that
owing to the fact that autos formed n
barage around the field and the crowd
pushed well up on the base lines,
ball knocked into the cars. or thrown
ball that passed either the first or
third base entitled the batsman to only
two baes. In the ninth Snyder threw
wild to first and the ball went on into
foul territory. Hubbard circled the
bases before the ball got into play,
but his jumps compelled Hubbard to
return to second. AS Hubbard has
been an officer, and also according tc
traditions of the army a gentleman,
| that young man, one of the best and
most likeable players in the team,
went back to second without a protest.
The kicking put up was more on the
sidelines than among the players. Now
look at the contrast. In the same game
Powell landed a mighty swipe that
sent the ball OVER the cars in the
line. With clear field the hit would
have yielded home run, and in fact
Mr.. Powell crossed the plate before
the ball was fielded into the diamond.
But the umpire waved Mr.. Powell
back to second and the young man
trotted to he second mound without
whine or a word said. Now do not
think for minute that this paper is
holding up the home players az
flock Of lambs. They are kickers of
the 33rd degree when they think they
have kick coming, but in this in
stance they recognized the rule laid
down and we're silent. We all know
that kicking is part of the game, bus
the practice is more conspicously de-
veloped in some players than in others
and although we have most kindly
feeling tor the Okanogan players, we
must cont ss that We have never
