RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLANCE.

(These resolutions were inadvert-
antly crowded out last week.)
Whereas, The Angel OF Death has
again entered our ranks and taken
from us our beloved Sister Emily j,
Balwin, Past Noble Grand, the re-
moval OF such life from our midst
leaves gloom and deep loss in this
lodge, and happy home, sad.
We do not mourn as those without
hope, for we know that she has passed
out of her suffering into eternal day.
And some time, some day, our eyes
shall see,
The fact that's kept in memory.
Some day her hand shall clasp our
hand,
Just over on the morning land.
Resolved, That Mayflower Rebekah
Lodge No. ia, extend to the bereaved
husband and family, our heartfelt
sympathy, in this hour of sorrow and
lonliness; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be spread upon the records of
this lodge, and copy sent to the be-
reaved family, and that in memory of
our departed sister our charter be
draped in mourning for thirty days.

The old vet has been in very poor
health recently, having suffered a par

and was feeling great deal better.
There seems to be no abridgement of
the stream of travel that daily flows
into town, and those who arrive on the
last train often find it difficult to find
place to lay their heads. if they OBJ
ject to camping out on the sidewalk.
This travel is going to continue to
increase instead of decreasing before
the year is over and provisions mus
be made to accommodate the strang-
ers within our gates.

AMONG THE FIRST.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Judd and Mrs
John Melcher came over from Loomis
Saturday for the purpose of consulting
a physician regarding Mrs. Judds
health. The Judds were among the
very first settlers to locate at Loomis
When they struck the country where
the old camp was subsequently located
there was no roof to cover their heads
and they lived in a tent until house
could be built, and almost any kind of
an old house answered the purpose Of
a domicile in those days. They have
clung tenaciously to Loomis since the
day of their first arrival, and will, no
doubt end their days in that place
And those who know them trust that
those days may be prolonged into
many years.

BALL GAME.

There is to be game of ball on the
local diamond Sunday when Tonasket
and Oroville will cross bats. This is
going to be game worth seeing, and
probably the most exciting contest Of
the season so far. Last Sunday To-
nasket humbled the crack Omak team
by winning a hot game by score of
to /, and that shows that Tonasket
has a club this year that can hold its
own against the best in north central
Washington, for a team that can de-
feat Omak must be made up of ma
terial that knows how to play base
ball There should be big crowd out
to this event, as no ball fan can afford
to miss the game Oroville is going to
try to win, and it can be depended on
that Tonasket is not going to lose the
game If lively scrapping can prevent.
Those present can look for things do
ing from the moment his jumps shouts
play ball"

BUY YOURSELF RICH.

Attention is called to the auction
sale OF furnishings and fixtures that
formerly were used as part of the
equipment of the New Oroville hotel.
The sale takes place in the warehouse
south of the depot That expert at
the business, Frank Mitchell, will do
the barking. When the hotel was de-
stroyed by fire, or so near destroyed
that the town council insists that the
destruction be total through demol-
ishment, much of the contents escaped
with trifling damage from fire and
water. The insurance company paid
the loss in full, took over the partially
damaged property and this is what
will be sold at public vendue. There is
bedding, bed room and kitchen furni-
ture, dishes, etc, which will be dis
posed of at your own price. and in
these days of high prices there will be
great opportunities to obtain desira-
bic goods at very low figures.

HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

AT the time of the death of Perry
biackler, which occurred a few weeks
ago nan aeroplane accident at an avi-
zion field in Georgia, where the young
man was taking pleasure flight in a
German Forkker machine, which had
been up twice the same day, no par
ticulars were obtainable as to how the
accident happened. We learn that af-
ter the plain had reached a height of
some $500 feet observers ON the
ground noticed that something was
wrong with the machine, as it seemed
to be out of control and was falling
in what is designated as a barrel spin.
Two or three times Lieut.. Blackler ap-
parently righted the machine, but sud
denly one of the wings broke entirely
off and the plane came hurtling to the
earth, resulting in the young mans
death.

Burt Loomis Elected President of Marvin
Institute.
tFredericktown Democrat News

tFredericktown Democrat-News.)
At a meeting of the Board of Gu
raters of Marvin College held here
last Friday and Saturday, Prof. Bert
Loomis was elected president of the
school for the coming year.
Mr.. Loomis is now at Perryville,
Maryland, and holds position with
| the government in connection with
the location and organization of the
vocational schools established by the
governmentsfor the rehabilitation of
disabled soldiers. He is holding the
government position, which is one of
considerable Importance, on leave of
absence from the Warrensburg Nor
NAL School, in which school he has
held profess orship for several years.
Mr.. Eoomis is native of Southeast
Missouri. He was born in Washing
ing county and taught in several lead
ing schools of this section. He has
been superintendent at Ironton and
also Flat River.
The new Marvin president comes
with a wealth of recommendations
from great variety of sources. Edu-
cationally, he is eminently qualified.
He graduated from the Cape Normal
in 1902. Since then he has taken the
Masters degree from the State Uni
versity and has done extensive work
in Chicago University and Columbia
University of New York. He is said
to be an able executor as we'll as a
fine teacher.
The election of Mr.. Loomis meets
with the hearty approval of the town.
He will have the hearty cooperation
of every interest. The general belief
is that with more funds which are
now available and with capable lead
ership the college is destined to play
large part in the educational devel-
opment of this section of the state.

Clears $4,000 In Eight Years Time.

tFredericktown Democrat-NeWs')
Monroe Wilson last week sold his
farm in the southern end of this coun-
ty to Henry White, the consideration
being $4,000. The tract consists OF
$40 acres About 400 acres are tillable,
the remainder being hill land.
Mr.. Wilson bought this farm in
1897, paying $500 for it. In % years
S37, 500 has been added to the value
of the land.
The purchaser, Henry White, furn'
ishes one of the finest examples oi
success as farmer that this section
ever saw. Only eight years ago nc
moved on the place as renter. He
owned only team Of mules, little
stock and but little capital. DuriBe
the eight years his hard work ano
careful management have brought
him a degree of success that enabled
him to bIy a $4,000 farm and pay
cash for it. In addition, he owns
tractors, all kidds of farming ma
chinery, stock and full equipment fol
eficiently handling the farm.
So within eight years Henry White
has probably cleared $4,000 on
rented farm, an accomplishment tina
ought to cause the young man VINO !
rushing to the city to stop and tninl
over the matter carefully.

Chas. Vale Killed.
(Desloge Sun, April 16th.)

The entire community was shocked
Monday night when the news came
that Charles B. Vale of this city, had
met with a terrible death, while at
work at No. shaft of st. Louis Smelt-
ing & Refining Go.
Mr.. Vale was Employed by the
company as a cage tender, at shaft
known as old Taylor shaft, only used
for the hoisting of employees. A
man is employed on each shaft to stay
with the cage and give all signals for
the rising and lowering of it to the
engineer. We are informed that Mr..
Vale had signaled the cage from what
is known as the 319 level to the 20S
level after the cage had been brought
to the 20S level signal was given to
lower it to the pigeon roost" level
few below 2Os. Men working in the
mines at the level of 319 heard the
noise of the man falling in the shaft
and they saw an object pass the level.
The body was found at the bottom
level, about 40 feet from the top, and
we understand that it was in a posi-
ton Indicating that he alighted or
his feet. The lower limbs were mash
ed and bruised and severe cut in
fiicted in the head. A coroner's in
quest was held Tuesday morning at
Flat River and the verdict returned
was "that the deceased came to hit
death by accidentally falling into the
shaft"
The deceased has been resident o.
Desloge for several years and enjoyed
wide acquaintance. He leaves tc
mourn his untimely death wife, three
daughters, Mrs. John Eaves, Mrs
Guy Cummings, Miss Eatrice; one
son, James. Mr.. Vale was past g.
of age but was in perfect health ant
man of very strong stature. Tit
funeral services we're conducted q
the home Wednesday morning at 9:3l
after which the remains were takel
to Belleview for burial.

Reducing the Debt.

During March the Treasury Depart
ment accomplished reduction of
nearly three quarters of a billion dol
lars in the National debt. During six
months ending with March, the Ma
tions indebtedness was reduced more
than billion and a half dollars, enough
to effect saving on interest to the
taxpayers of the country of approxi-
mately $65 1000, 900 per annum.
This record is SO splendid as to bring
forth praise even from the Republican
floor leader in the House, Represent
tative Mondell, who admits that the
Treasury officials have"handled a try
ing situation most admirably" but
warns that "they cannot avert a dis
aster unless we keep expenditures
within our income"
Mr.. Mondell, of course, knows that
no money is expended that is not
appropriated by Congress, and that
responsibility for wise economy rests
with Congress, where the Republicans
are in control.
The Republican leaders in that body
have been talking about economy
ever since they came into power, al
most a year ago. When they have
been talking economy, the Government
departments have been practicing it.

Don't Expect Too Much From Hatching
Eggs.

The poultryman who sells Matching
eggs is too often blamed for poor
matches. Aside from irregular man
agement of the incubator, weather
conditions during transit and the tenn
perature in which eggs are kept be-
fore placing them in the machine may
affect hatchability. Eggs will incuo-
ate in a temperature of 70 degrees.
If they are subjected to that tenn
perature for any length of time and
subsequently brought into a cooler
temperature before being placed in
the incubator, dead germs are likely
to result, according to G.. W. Hervey,
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture.
It is wise to figure conservatlvely
on the results to expect about i've
times as many eggs should be In
cubated as one expects to have ma
ture pullets in the fall. After April
LIST 80 percent fertility may be ex'
pected for Leghorn eggs and 80 per-
cent for the heavier breeds. A 81
percent hatch of fertile eggs is good
one. About 10 percent of the chicks
may be lost on range. OF the re-
mainder there should be approxl-
mately an equal number OF cockerel'
and pullets.

THE DEMPSEY CASE.

Without knowing President Will. sons reasons for committing the sentence of Murderer Dempsey, the announcement of the executives ac. ton comes somewhat in the nature of a shock. We are probably more familiar with the case than Pres;- dent Wilson can possibly be. and WE oo not know of any extenuating cir cumstances. They were not made known during the trial of the arch. hend. There was absolutely no de- 1ense' either in the killing of the anchorage woman who was mur- dered in cold blood for the money she was supposed to have, or in the murder of the deputy marshal at Seward afterwards, who was shot down in most cowardly fashion.
 Dempsey is said to have infiuen- tai friends, which may account for his escape from the gailows. But If that is the only excuse the Presi- dent has for committing the sen. tence, it is worse than no excuse at all. Or it may be that Demp- sey's youth had something to do with it. He is a young man, less than twenty, but possesses a vet eran criminals disregard of law and order. Life imprisonment, in such a case as his, is, in our opinion, a
