to Toledo instead of one as in the
past.
Joseph Mooney. who represented
Toledo, put up hard fight for two
weeks and his city will have the
weeks of July II and Aug. 2. Orig
inally it was planned TO open on
July ~. but with Toledo getting two
weeks it was necessary to have the
first meeting at North Randall on
July 5 and the final session at At
laDta, Ga, starting Oct. IS.
The request of the New iork
York state fair for meeting of two
weeks was turned down, and as a
result the state fair this year will
be for one week. However. a
strong effort is to be made nex'
year to have the fair last two
weeks.

COUNTY CHOIR CONTEST.

Tonasket is expected to be the place
and November 26 the date. The beauti
full Blackwell trophy cup will again be
up for competition. Such was the sue
cess and interest last year that it is
proposed to have contest for child
ren's choirs If there are three entries.
Senior and junior choir contests under
the same rules. The dividing line is
sixteen years. A choir may get voices
anywhere in it's community so long
as not drawing from other churches.
The basis for the contest is one piece
chosen by the choir and hymn chosen
by the committee. In addition each
sung by the massed choir. Each of the
two pieces will count possible 100 to
be divided: General effect (including
quality of voices) 40; Interpretation,
20; expression. including distinctness,
(enunciation), 20; technique (includ-
ing time) 20. The choir totaling the
most points on the two pieces wins.
Six judges will be secured and at least
three must serve. representing three
different communities. The minimum
of voices is eight and most of the sing
ing must include the entire choir. The
hymn for the contest will be announc-
ed next week. Let us hear from Sun
day schools or churches interested In
the children's choir contest.

PASSING OF A PIONEER.

Mention was made in recent issue
of this paper of the death of Dan Mui-
ebay. pioneer resident of the Loomis
neighborhood. who passed away in a
hospital at st. Paul while en- route
for Rochester, Mimi, where he was
going to take treatment for a compli
cation of ailments from which he had
been suffering for months. Mr.. Null
ebay came to northern Okanogan coun-
ty many years ago, at time when at
tention was almost exclusively given
to mining, and devoted his time to
prospecting. Like most prospectors he
lived almost from hand to mounth for
long time. Among the various claims
staked out by himself and associates
was a group on Gold Hill, only a short
distance west of Loomis. Ralph Bagg-
ley. OF Pittsburg, Penn, man of large
wealth became interested in the Gold
Hill property and-finally took over the
claims at pretty stiff figure. Mr..
Baggley spent thousands of dollars in
an effort to make mine, eventually
abandoning the attempt, but that is
another story. Associated with Mr..
Mulchay in the Gold Hill deal was
John Reed. a close friend of the de-
ceased, and after receiving payment
for the claims Mulchay and Reed went

time of his death, and the latter, land
on Mount Chopaka, where the cattle OF
the partners ranged Being an exceed
ingly careful man. and having exper-
fenced the inconvenience of poverty
Mr.. Mulcahy steadily accumulated
money and property and at the time OF
his death was very comfortably off.
The deceased was a quiet, law abiding
citizen and passed away without an
enemy in the country where he lived
so long, which is more to his credit
than any eulogy that might be written
upon his death.
