herlund. had about as narrow an es-
cape from death in an auto accident
tuesday afternoon about 3 o.
point of the Oroyille-Penticton high
way near Camp No. 3, of the irrigation
| construction crew, few miles beyond
faifyiew, as any party that has ever
oeen mixed up in similar accident in
this part OF the country. The travellers
mad been to Pentieton and were on the
return trip in new Studebaker car.
While bowling along at 80 miles an
hour over smooth road, something
ABOUT the mechanism of the car gave
way and the machine turned over
twice and was total wreck. Every
one OF the passengers was severely cut
ana bruised, three in serious manner.
physician was summoned from Pen.
ticton, who dressed the many injuries.
Reevie Frank was called IN and wanr
10 the scene of the accident and
brought the injured men to Oroville.
Ihey would not listen to remaining
here, as they were very anxious to
reach home. A car was secured from
A. j. Flaherty and four of the party
orove to Omak the same night. Mr.
heriund, who was not seriously hurt
remained and left for home Wednesday
morning. a

Undertaken Barnes was called over
to the Dunkard settlement between
Whitestone and Spectacle lakes, near
Loomis, one day the latter part of last
week to prepare for burial a resident
who had died suddenly. 1t is under
stood that the deceased was a woman
who had just arrived at the home of
one of the settlers on a visit. The
cause of death was not ascertained.
About all the machinery is in place
in the new cannery building and Mr..
fraser, the manager, will be ready to
start the wheels turning as soon as
the tomato crop is ready to handle.
Those who have registered to work in
the cannery should hold themselves in

A RAGGED ZANE.

An alleged bail game took place Oh
the local grouunus SUNDAY petwee4
UroyIlie ana hIeWona. Inc otnerwlse
very equal teams got togetaer anu
gave display oil how the nation4l
game can De Dutchered. 1t was one Oh
the most weird exhibitions OF bali
playing ever seen on the local dia-
mond. The local team was minus
| three or Iour OF its regular players,
but tney can thank providence that
circumstances prevented them FROM
being present and participating in
such Il joke. KleWona did very weI
Tor the first SIX innings, taking ad-
vantage OF the errors OF commission
ana omission on the part of their op-
ponents and lack OF ginger that was
IlneXplicable to the onlookers, but the
visitors blew up i'll the seventh roo
bing Oroville of the honors of how not
to do it and before the dust settled
TWO safe hits. For some reason Kle-
Wona went all to pieces, hits that
Ishould have been outs were stretched
into several bases and the daze be-
came so fierce that Moe ran in from
third and scored while the pitcher
held the ball in his hand and the
|catcher was trying to study out how
two scores had run in just before on
an intieid hit. that the fielders did not
know what to do with. Up to the sew
enth inning the score was to in
favor of the visitors, and the way the
Oroyille boys wasn't doing a thing to
the ball it looked as though the Cauad-
ians had the game cinched In the
next two innings each side managed
TO accumulate run and the final
score stood l3 to o i'll favor of Oro-
vile. Owing to divers blow outs and
with travel the Kelowna team did
not reach Oroville until late in the
day and the game was not called until
1880. 1t then required three solid
hours to wind up the agony. The
crowd got a great deal of enjoyment
out of the performance, as errors gen
orally tickle the funny bone of an
audience and the disgust of the on
lockers is forgotten in the wave OF
cachinnations. There were no features
to the game except the humorous. un-
less the seventh inning might be men
toned, In that inning the visitors
made three safe hits That is the bats
men were credited with hits that
should have been outs had the locals
been playing in their usual form, so
hfoe, the crack pitcher of the Oroyiife
aggregation, got mad and struck out
three batsmen in row. Let this be
said of the visitors, the team and the
friends that accompanied the team
was as fine a bunch of people as has
ever been in town on a similar occas-
ion.

VISIT FROM WESLEY J.. JONES.

We were most pleasantly surprised
last Thursday evening by call from
Senator Wesley l.. Jones, of Seattle,
who was on an auto trip through the
county in company with his son, H.
B. Jones, a practicing. attorney of Sc
lattle. and Walter NJ. Olive, a well
known resident of Chelan county,
largely interested in orchard lands at
Manson, on Lake Chelan Senator
Jones had been spending several days
on lake Chelan and climbing the
mountains that surround the head Of
that beautiful sheet of water I'm
fortunately the senator's time was
short and he had to leave early Fri
lday morning, going to Loomis to look
over the Whitestone Flat irrigation pro
ject and from there to Okanogan to
| Investigate the government project at
that point. There is probably no man
in congress so well posted on irrga-
| tiOn as Senator Jones, and through
his Influence congress has been in
duced to favor and aid western irri-
cation projects Senator Jones has
| been a valuable and faithful servant
of the state in congress for many
years, and for the good work he has
accomplished and his readiness and
ability to accomplish much more for
Ibis constituents he should be returned
Ito the senate this fall. as he is up be-
fore the people for reelection For ten
wears he represented the state in the
Hover house of congress and he has
served for twelve years in the senate
The longer a man serves in the senate
the better able he is to secure recog-
milton, and it would be a great mis-
take on the part of the people OF
Washington if they failed to return
MIR. Jones this year.

why Wedding Rlno Is Plain.

for the wedding ring. and tradition
has II that the ring should be abso-
lutely plain. II has been long recog-
nIzed that the diamond ring can never
replace the plain band ring. A reason
for the preference given to the ring
without the setting is offered by Fuller
In his Holy State" where he says:
Marriage with diamond ring fore
shadows evil, because the Interruption
of the circle augured that the recipro-
cal regard of the spouse might not be-

The Universal Color.

The professional mixer of paints
knows that fierce color discord can
easily be created by a misplacing OF
green. But Nature never misplaces 1t.
Even blue stands without tying. cheek
by cheek with Natures greens. Lark
spurs and lobelias go quietly arm In
arm with their respective foliage. Any
rose of any tint or color is best set of
by a green rose leaf. Every spring or
fall color, pale or fiorid. will shade
pleasantly into green ON the very same
leaf.

on bicycles and in automobiles-lnen,
and handsomely dressed women ana
bows and girls-all bent upon having
Il full, rich day. 1t was estimated that
twelve hundred people were in attend
ance. The manager of the park de
,larcd to members of the committee
that he had never seen ii finer and
better behaved crowd than the one ON

the Greek language as his mother
tongue, as did the Jews of Asia Minor,

of the Jews scattered through the

"Where do tears come frOm?" In

the tear duct. This little gland is con-

away from the delicate portions of the
eye. When we cry the tear gland
works overtime" sending one tear
