NEW ROAD CONTRACT.

Major A. w. Davis, of Penticton, who
in conjunction with p. j. Salvus, has
just completed grading the first leg of
the proposed railroad from Penticton
to Oroville as far as Dog Lake, and is
putting the finishing touches on the
highway from OsoyoOs to Bridesville,
in which Mr.. Salvus is also interested,
has secured a contract to construct
seven miles of the ROssland to Cascade
lnterprovincial Highway. The work is
being started at once and is the first
section of Al mile job, opening up a
direct route to the Grand Forks coun-
try with an all Canadian road. 1t can
be understood what an improvement
this will be connecting up Canadian
highways. which, by the way, are al
ways dependable highways built upon
plans that insure durability and
smooth sailing for autos, as. under ex-
isting CONDITIONS, in order to trave! be-
tween RoOsland and Grand Forks it is
necessary to drive down to Marcus and
follow the road for some distance on
this side of the line. Mr.. Salvus will be
associated with Major Davis in this
construction work.

BIG CATTLE DEAL.

Tuesday Geo. H. Ellis and Jas. E..
Forde, associated for years in the mer-
camille business in this county. subse-
quently in orchard lands, and of late,
as a side cline, in the cattle industry,
sold to M. McLennan, of Kelowna, $50
head Of cattle The cattle were driven
through town Monday and was as fine
lot of beef on the hoof as has been
seen in this part of the county for
years. Tuesday the cattle were taken
to Osoyoos, where they had to undergo
the usual government inspection be-
fore being allowed to cross into British
Columbia, and were found to be in AL
condition. Ferris Ford, Frank Loudon,
Hons Richter and squad of COW peo-
pie had charge Of the herd, while
Charlie Loudon had charge of the feed
department. The amount of money in
vested in the transfer is not given out
but it will run high up Into the thous-
ands. Mr.. McLennan. ii is understood,
made the investment for his son, and
the stock will be placed upon Mr.. Nc
Lennan's 5000 acre ranch near Kelo-
VIVA. This is one of the largest cattle
deals that has been made in the county
for number Of years.

The flying machine that hung
around town for several days during
the past week spread its wings and
flew away Saturday. AS the weather
was rather disagreeable for sky
searching, and ten dollar bills some
what shy. the Oroville venture as a
commercial proposition was not alto
oether profitable. Probably not more
than half dozen people patronized
the airplaine at this place.
1t now looks as though a concrete
bridge, the first in the county, will be
constructed across the Similkameen
river to take the place of the con-
demned bridge now in use. and which
was to have been replaced with a steel
bridge. A concrete bridge would be
far the cheapest in the end both on
account of durability and the saving
in insurance. The Okanogan Independ-
ent has the following to say of the
proposed substitution of concrete for
steel for the Similkameen bridge:
County Commissioner F. R. Hersh-
berger left Saturday morning for
Olympia to take up road and bridge
matters with the state highway de-
pdrtineHl. All ehued"oT is DeiIfS udue
by the board to have the state and
federal government carry the burden
of constructing the new concrete
bridge across the Similkameen river
at Oroville, inasmuch as this point is
the end of State Highway No. 10When
the highway is extended it will be nee
essary to cross the river at Oroville
and it is hoped that the department
will see fit to take on the responsibility
Of constructing this bridge"

AUTO COLLISION.

AS w. J. Coy, driver of the rural
route jitney on route No. 1, came roll
ing out of the alley in the rear of the
Oroville Commercial company's store
last Friday morning into First avenue
Carl Schultz was ambling along in an
easterly direction on the same thor
Oughfare with his auto truck. AS Mr..
Coy failed to make his presence known
by the required footing of horn, and
young Schultz was somewhat blinded
by the sun shining through his wind
shield, the two cars came violently to-
gether, much to the Disagreement of
the Coy machine. The truck hit the
mail car square in the center on the
left hand side smashing up the wood
work and dishing rear wheel, leaving
the gasoline wagon in rather a dilapi-
dated condition. The truck was only
slightly dented by the impact. Fortu-
nately no one was injured. Had Mr.
Schultz been travelling at his usual
gait, which is not slow, he would have
cut the mail car in two.

w. B. Sexson and DR.. F. S. Beale, of
this place, and Emery Norris OF To-
nasket, left Monday on a deer hunt in
the Wauconda country. The hunters
go out with the avowed intention of
remaining in the hills until they get
a deer, and If they do not have more
luck than some of the hunters who
have gone out from here it will be
necessary to send a relief party with
provisions before the winter is over.
The Oroville Motor company moved
into the new garage this week bag and
baggage. The interior of the handsome
building is not entirely completed but
as it is warm and the old quarters are
exceedingly chilly it was decided to
make the change for comfort and put
on the finishing touches after the gar
age was occupied. The company is now
in the finest garage quarters to be
found anwhere in the state, and even
the largest cities are not barred un-
der this claim.

down to Oroville Wednesday a very
severely battered up individual. Mon

horse and the animal Immediately pro-
ceeded to stamp Mr.. Payne into the
earth, inflicting numerous injuries
upon his person. The most serious
was the crushing of the bones of the
right ankle. The other injuries, among
them a very much discolored eye
were very painful at the time, but were
superficial. Mr.. Payne came down tc

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

The report was circulated about
town Monday that Sheriff Harry Stark
had arrested several bootleggers on the
road between OrOville and Okanogan,
capturing them with a large quantity
of liquor in their possession. The ar
rests were made all right, but the
quantity of booze secured fell far be-
low the amount as reported on the
street. The sheriff secured the hunch
from Oroville that suspicious cars
were on the road and on the strength
of the tip the arrests followed. 1t Is
hoped that the officers will go after
this class of law breakers with renew
ed vigilance until the practice be-
comes so expensive that 1t will dis
courage the business. The Okanogan
Independent makes this report Of the
arrest:
Harry E. Stark, sheriff, and Ber-
nard McCauley and Ed. Howell, depu-
ties brought In five violators of the
anti-booze law, Friday night, who
contributed $50 and costs each to the
public treasury when arraigned before
Judge Howard Vieh the following
morning, besides losing something like
a case and half of Canadian whiskey
which was found in their possession by
the officers of the law. The men were
arrested on the highway between
Riverside and Tonasket about 10
o'clock Friday night.
THE officers were looking for booze
runners and stopped a Maxwell car
driven by Richard Smith and Ebert
Bailey of Wenatchee. A search of the
machine disclosed case of whiskey.
While the search was in progress an
other car, a Dodge, came along con-
tanning w. J. Morgan of Cashmere and
A. R. Peterson and w. J. Jones of We
natchee. This car was also searched
and about half case of bottle un-
covered"

CHANGE OF CONTRACTORS.

When mention was made that F. v.

ing for the postoffice the statement
was made that construction would be

has large hotel contract that the
company wanted Mr.. Chaplin to take
charge of and he left Monday to enter
upon that work. The Covert block will
be built by Burnett & Garke. OF we

DESERVES THE APPOINTMENT.

1t is pleasure to announce that
Geo. j. Hurley of Loomis, long a men,
Der of the Okanogan county game COM
mission, is about to receive the ap-
pointment of deputy state game war;
den. This appointment could not fall
to more worthy gentleman, nor one
who would take greater personal in
terest in the duties of the office. If the
office falls to Mr.. Hurley he will give
it his closest personal attention, as
he is keenly interested in the preser-
vation of game and increasing the
game and fish supply of the state. The
Wenatchee World OF last Friday has
this announcement Of the probable
appointment Of Mr.. Hurley:
4 North Central Washington sportsS,
men are greatly Interested in the an
nouncement that George J. Hurley of
Okanogan county will be appointed
deputy state game warden to succeed
Frank Bryant of Yakima, who recently
resigned. Mr.. Hurley will have charge
of all game and fish matters in eastern
Washington.
'"The appointment if made will be
very pleasing to all who are interested
in the enforcement of the game and
fish laws and in the propagation of fish
and game, in this part of the state.
1T is reported that Mr.. Hurley has
the backing of l.. II. Darwin, state
game warden, and is in accord with
the policies on game and fish protec-
ton and propagation held by the state
head of the game and fish department.
For years Hurley has been an act
i've worker in the game and fish ad
ministration in Okanogan county. 1t is
probable that the actual appointment
of Hurley will be made by Governor
Hart some time in the near future, as
the eastern section of Washington is
now without a game official in the Of
flee of deputy state warden"

CHANGES CEMETERY.

The residents of TOnasket have
changed the location of the town GEM
etery. When the town was first laid
out a plot was selected on the hill
some distance from Tonasket and in
rather an inaccessible spot, to be used
as a burying ground. Some 30 bodies
have been buried in the old cemetery
since it was laid out. Recently the Odd
Fellows, who located the first ceme-
terry, purchased the Pat Kearney place,
"a short distance north of town, and laid
It out as a cemetery, and the remains
