HIS AMERIcANisM Al.

The Okanogan Live Stock association
meets at Okanogan on the 1st and End Of
April. and it promises to be one of the
most interesting meetings that organiza-
ton has held in this county. That old
time terrier, AL L. Rogers, of Waterville.
was invited by the association to be pres
ent and speak on "Amerlcanism," and
no more red -blooded. 100 per cent Ameri-
can could have been selected for that
purpose Had Mr.. Rogers Been able to
accept that invitation the convention
would have been thrilled by an address
on that particular subject that would
have aroused their enthusiasm to the
highest pitch, for AL Rogers can put
punch In his talks that are knockout
blows. and with "Americanism" as his
subject he would be at his very best I'm
fortunately for those who attend the con-
vention Mr. Rogers Is temporarily down
and out with illness. but the following
extracts from his letter explaining why
he was compelled to decline the invita-
ton are characteristic Of the man: "Your
letter Of the Sth inst, at hand. I want to
thank the Live Stock association of your
county for their invitation to speak on
"Americanism" at their annual meeting
on April 1st and End. I have many fine
old friends In your county and It Is with
a great deal of regret that I am compell-
ed to forego this pleasure. I have been
suffering from an accute attack of rheu-
matism and the doctors have decided to
make me over and have commenced by
pulling all my teeth. For the past seven
years of this country has had too much
Americansm without any teeth in it, and
therefore I must hand the subject on to
one who is better equipped. I immedi-
ately took upon myself the responsibility
of asking Hon. E. w. FawIey If he would
not Uf invited) make your people this
talk on "Americanism" He is good
speaker. a fighting hound Of Irish decent
strong on law and order and has the CUTS
and brains to back it up. Years ago when
the country was new we old stockmen
stood solid for law and order. We formed
a stock association that cleaned up the
renegades and stock rustlers from Saddle
mountains on the south to the Canadian
line on the north"

Maj. F. p. Wehe. who has spent many
years of his life in northern Okanogan
county, returned to his old camping
ground on Wannicut lake Thursday OF
last week after having spent the w)nte;'
at Pasco. The Major Is looking well and
Is bearing up manfully under his accu-
mulating years. 1t has been his custom
for a number of years to spend his win
ters with his relatives away fron Oro-
vile, but he is like the robbins, har-
binger of spring. always getting back as
old winter kicks out. He went south to
Pasco last fall to escape the winter but
reports that the mercury registered 30
degrees below at that semi-tropical point
last December, giving him the idea that
he had moved up close to the north pole
instead of encroaching on the equator
A work train laid over at this point
Sunday night and Monday morning ran
down to the big wash out at Antwynne
creek, this side of Tonasket, and recon-
structed the railroad grade at that place
so that a repetition of the blockade that
occurred Saturday by wash gravel out or
the creek can not be repeated except dur
ing an exceptional freshet.

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN; IT'S YOU.

II you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new:
It's knock at yourself when YOU leave
your town
1t isn't your town--it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest some one gets ahead;
When every one works and nobody shjrks
You can raise a town from tine deal.
And if when you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to see
1t isn't your town-it's you.

OF NAVAL FACILITIES ON PACIFIC COAST

WASHINGTON, March S.--cSten.
sive development OF naval facilities oi
the Pacific coast must be started inn
inediately. Secretary Daniels told the
naval affairs committee today,
''Inadequacy of Pacific bases Is
strikingly apparent" he declared. DAN
iels pointed out that the Pacific fleet
is now much larger than the entire
fleet which sailed from San Francisco
in the famous trip around the world.
Daniels said a strong naval reserve,
much larger and better trained than
existed before the war must always
be maintained. He urged congress to
authorize enrolment of $4,000 men in
the reserve. with the provision that
they have one year of active service
and afterwards be available for caIll
in emergency. He called the reserve
the salvation OF the navy during the
war"
Daniels also recommended the es-
tabiishment OF a naval training sum-
mer school for boys He said the
whole system should be voluntary.
Daniels declared The navy ward
at Bremerton should be enlarged to I
