Oroville is not the only place in the
county where the demon rum still has
foothold and occasionally gets in his
knock out blows. The Tonasket Times
complains that there is much con-
sumption of liquor in our neighboring
town. This slipping of booze over the
line will continue until the law abid-
ing citizens arise in their wrath and
|use every effort to bring the guilty per-
sons to punishment So long as the
average citizen winks at the practice,
and 80 long as there is so much profit
in the contraband goods, just so long
will liquor find its way into any com
munity so near the Canadian line as
the towns of Okanogan county
DR.. Elmer reports that Arthur Rick
etts, who has been on the sick list for
the past two weeks is suffering from
an accute attack of Bright's disease.
The young man is an employee of the
railroad, and after being laid up for
a few days returned to work. He made
the rdn to Princeton, but upon his re-
turn Saturday he was so i'll that he
had to take to his bed. AS sufferer
from Bright's disease there is no con-
cealing the fact that young Ricketts, is
in a very serious condition. His physi-
clan is in hopes that the young man
may in prove under treatment and be
spared for long time to come. The
friends of Mr.. Ricketts, certainly hope
for the best.
The law abiding citizen is IS safe in
| Canada as he is on this side OF 'he
line, but the man inclined to get gay
and cross the borderland of lawful
conduct when in British Columbia will
strike a rocky road for the courts over
! there are not lenient to evil doers, nol
| can the nimble tongued lawyer make
law farce when appearing before
B. c., court of justice and get pris
oner off on some trivial excuse. The
man who goes wrong in British Colum
bia must pay the penalty, and if thu
same strict enforcement of the Law
followed conviction of crime in this
country people would have more re
spect for the law and there would b'
far less crimes committed.
