NARROW ESCAPE.

Tuesday evening a party composed
of j. d. Porter, Miss Jean Porter and
Miss Margaret Jensen, of Spokane,
and A. r. Porter and Miss S. Pattern,
of Portland, had most narrow escape
from very serious accident while
coming down the hill from Nelson in
large REQ touring car, at a point on
the road near Circle. One of the young
ladies was at the wheel when on a
heavy grade the brakes gave way and
the big car started on a race with
death. There were but two courses to
pursue, either to run into the bank
and take the chances of upsetting or
to holding the road which meant go
ing over the grade. The driver acted
promptly. The car ran into the bank
and upset on the road. By miracle
the occupants escaped almost scath-
less, one of the gentlemen receiving
slight cut on the forehead and one
of the young ladies a bruise on the
face which was hardly noticeable The
car was considerably shaken up, but
was brought down to OrOville where
the travellers had to remain over We'd
nesday while the machine was repair

OFF FOR SPOKANE.

c. c. Hedger, Chas. Powell. J. g.
Hare, S. Gjerde, Fremont Mcdaniel
and A. J. Thompson left for Spokane
Saturday to take part in the annual
Inland Empire trap shoot that was on
Monday and Tuesday in that city,
representing the Oroville Gun club.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the
boys were very much off in their
shooting and failed to stand up to
their records made on the local
grounds during the protracted con-
tests that have been carried on this
spring. According to the published
record of the weeks shoot the Oro-
Vile club slipped down from second
to third place. 1t is hard to account for
this slump, but the Spokesman Review
figures show that most of the shooters
taking part were not equaling former
records.

OKANOGAN v. S.
OROVILLE

Sunday Afternoon the Oroville and
Okanogan ball team will play match
game on the Oroville grounds. When
these two old time contestants get to-
gether lively contest can be expect
ed. Year after yeaf the teams of the
valley have played q series of games.
and while in the main Oroville has
had shade the best OF it the games
have invariably been close and excit-
ing. 1t will be lopg time before the
fans who were present will forget the
last game of last year between Oka-
hogan and Oroville, played on the
Omak grounds, when the score was 80
close that 1t was anybody's game up
to the last innings. That was the most
exciting game ever played in the coun-
ty. Prior to the session there had been
longer and closer games, but no
occasion when the partiZens of two
clubs were so wrought up over the re-
suits. Oroville scratched out by nose
in the last inning. There is every reas-
on to expect that the game Sunday
will be another close one, for Okla
hogan, that always has strong nine
in the field, has another crack aggre-
cation this year. Oroville will be
strengthened by two of the old players
returning to the llne-up, and with the
beneficial effect of last Sundays game
and practice will be in better shape
than when meeting the Omak bunch.
Game will be called at 3 o'clock, and
everybody should turn out.

CHANGE YOUR SYSTEM.

Probably there is not day, that
passes when some traveller going east
or far south takes the train at this
place, and almost invariably that trav-
eler buys his ticket either to We
natchee or Spokane and at one or the
other places buys his ticket to his fl
nal destination, when he could just as
well have purchased his through tick
ct at this station at no greater cost.
An article on this subject is published
in another column of this issue, and
it is hoped that travellers will take the
advice to heart and patronize the local
agent when desiring tickets for distant
points. By the system now in vogue,
other railroad offices now get credit
for receipts that should be credited to
the Oroville office.

ANNUAL HIGH
SCHOOL PLAY

The pupils of the Oroville High
School will give their annual play iI
the high school auditorium this FRI
day evening. Every year at the close
of school this play Is one of the chief
features of the closing exercises. In
the past the young people have put on
some very interesting performances
and the one this year will be equal in
every particular to those given in the
past. 1t is not necessary to urge the
people of Oroville to turn out and pat
ronize the annual play. They are iE the
habit of doing so and the auditorium s
seating capacity will be taxed to ac-
commodate all who apply for admit
tance. This paper could say nothing at
this late hour to arouse greater inter-
est in the event, but in order that our
readers may form some idea of the
ters and a synopsis is published be-

WANTED-A BOX FACTORY.

This paper wants to repeat what
was said in an article on the subject
published last week that right here at
Oroville is an opening for a box fac
tory, and the best opening available
in the state today. The man who takes
the hint and installs a factory here
will build better than he knew. The
cannery alone will need from $4,000
to 10000 boxes, and that is only q
single industry that will require boxes
Thousands upon thousands of boxes
will be required for the fruit and veg
etable crop in this immediate vicinity
this year. A box factory here can sup
ply the demand. Furthermore, when
the land just across the line COM
mences to produce there will be an
enormous demand for boxes from this
locality. 1t is business that will
grow with leaps and bounds from year
to year. Where is the lucky man that
will fill the sorely required want?
He who misses the chance is missing
good thing.

Central avenue, long known as the
Peerless hotel, with fresh dressing

great many people in this part of the
state. He graduated from handling a

to come to Oroville to follow the same
line. 1t is understood that he has TAX

real estate and making many farm

has encouraged him to break into the

SPECTATORS MUST co

People have cried in agony at the wicked
ness of the profteers. They have protested and
they have practiced self-denial but all to no
purpose until at last the farmers tired of fur
nishing the working capital and the human
energy to further the ends of the spectators,
have taken matters into their own hands.
The head of the Illinois Agricultural Grain
Marketing Bureau has completed canvass of
the farming districts of the Middle West and
resolved to put the spectators out Of business
The farmers do not intend to continue in the
bondage serfbom, or as tools in the hands of
the spectators; but they do intend to control
their own business and eliminate the middle
men and spectators, and in doing this they will
benefit themselves and the consumers.
The farmers are going to own and control
the grain elevators of the country. They have
resolved that they will no longer pay tribute
to the profiteers. They may sit upon the fence
and see the trains pass, the loads Of grain going
to the elevators of the millers, and the farmers
returning with the full price of the products of
their labor snugly packed in their inside poe
kets; but the trains will not be the trains of
the spectators; neither will the proceeds be-
long to the men who have heretofore paid the
farmers what they willed and received from
the milers profit far in excess of reason
Under present regulations the farmers will
receive more for their grain and the consum-
ers will buy their flour cheaper and all will
be benefited by the elimination of the middle

THE LABOR SITUATION

The announcement of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad that it has reduced its work
ing force by the laying off of 1000 men, and
that it may yet make further reductions "con-
sistent with economy and efficiency" together
with the announcement that there are 100000
fewer workers employed in the factories of New
York State than were on the pay rolls six
months ago, warn US to use all possible means
to check further foreign immigration. Aliens
are coming to this country in unprecedented
numbers, while our slackening industries are
turning hundreds of thousands out of the mills
and factories to seek employment as best they
can; thus creating surplus of labor that may,
if present immigration conditions continue, be-
come a menace to our welfare. The highest
point in employment was reached in March.
Since April 1st there has been a slackening that
is now becoming serious, and in the face of the
overwhelming deluge of foreign labor, decided
ly dangerous. "
