Brewster is to have a big carnival
of sports on the 18th, 14th and 18th ol
August that is certain to draw one OF
the largest crowds ever collected in
the county. The Oroville ball team il
billed to take part in the events.
The local ball club has reorganized
and lovers of the naLional sport are
going to see some cracking good games
before the summer is ove-. The firsl
one will take place Sunday when the
locals meet UP with the kelowna, b. G.
team.
Town Clerk HoOse states that he
will soon have the registration books
at the town hall and will be on hant
every afternoon to list voters. Voter.

woman in the three Oroville precincts
to see that their names are on the list
lister this year in order to vote a
either the primary election or the
general election.
With pail of smoke hanging arount
the edges 1t is evident that the annua
fires are getting in their destructiv,
work. These fires are usually the re
suit of carelessness on the part o
campers and travellers, and no amour
of warning appears to arouse people |,
the necessity of exercising precau
tions. This recklessness Is the prevail
ing Indifference of the average huma,
being to the rights of others and tn
isacredness of property, private an
public.
! Judging from the number of car
that were out Sunday it would appea
that that part of the public owning tn
modern means of getting around wer
doing their darndest to burn up all tn
gasoline that arrived by the last shin
ment Cars were fitting to and fro al
day long. 1t is the jazz bacteria ths

not be fatal but they have a dangerou
tendency to lower the morals.

BALL GAME SUNDAY.

Sunday the local ball team and 2
strong aggregation from Kelowna, B.
c., will meet on the local diamond,
and lovers of that popular sport will
be treated to an exhibition worth
travelling a long distance to see. With
the reorganization OF the home club,
and Dad" Martin engineering the
managerial end of the team, it is an
ticipated that the boys will do their
level best, and when they get down to
cases and play ball there are few
amateur teams that have any call to
put it over on them. The coming game
is the first that has taken place in
Oroville for several weeks and should
draw out large crowd. Indeed. the
public should turn out en- masse and
encourage the home team. There is
nothing like boosting from the home
hackers to throw pep into the players.
Game will start at 2:3O. so regulate
your Sunday dinner so that it will not
interfere with attending the game.

Our Jubilee

In 1870, SO years ago this year, Mr.. L. S. McCabe
opened small store in this city the northeast cor
ner of Sixteenth street and Second avenue From
this small beginning has been developed this present
department store, catering, it does to thousands
of the people of the tri-ces and surrounding terri
tory half century Of continuous and successful
business is record of which any store may well be
proud.
In some parts of the world in ancient times every
fifty years was called jubilee year and was much
celebrated in such way met with the approval of
the people Of those times. Some of the representa-
tves of the founder of this business have asked that
we commemorate this 5Oth or Jubilee year of the
stores history in some manner that would benefit
ingly show our appreciation of the patronage which
has made its success possible.
We have thought of many ways in which we
might express this appreciation one of them was to
build an addition to the present building and install
therein more commodous conveniences and equip
ment for the use OF customers but in this time of
ever increasing costs of materials and decreasing
labor supply, it both unpatrotic and financial
ly unwise to invest in anything except absolute nee
essitles and instead, we have decided to introduce
some Jubilee events which will both express our ap-
probation of past patronage and also be of material
advantage to customers in these days of expen-
sive living.
We have therefore concluded that nothing we
can do in showing appreciation of continued patron
age Is more tmely or OF greater practical value than
increasing the purchasing power of our customers
money when laying in a seasons stock of household
necessities.
To such end we are pleased to announce that be-
ginning Tuesday morning, May 18th and continuing
for limited period will hold Jubilee Event No. l,
and we ask you to read very carefully advertise
ment which explains fully the object and merits of
the sale.

SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS
NEEDS M, D. & G. ROAD
Nashville Lumberman Seeking To
Great Interest In Support of the
Lines Operation.

''The operation of the Memphis.
Dallas and Gulf railroad is essential
to the material prosperity of all the
territory along its line from Ashdown
to Hot Springs declared p c. Allen
of the Allen Lumber and Box Company
of Nashville, who was in AshdoWn to
create interest in the continued opera
tion Of the line.
''Ashdown business establishments
have an extensive trade with the NJ,
d. and G. territory, which they would
lose should the line ever be junked,
said Mr.. Allen. "Many industries
would be compelled to cease opera
tions, and among them would be the
White Giles lime plant, and other var
i9us other plants along the line, con-
tinued Mr.. Allen.
While Mr.. Allen had no definite plan
in mind, he said that he only wanted
to create more. interest in the road
among the business men along the line
and for each Of them to do all they
could to maintain the operation of
the road.
Mr., Allen said that he understood
that the United States Court has the
hight to raise the rates of the road if it
is necessary, but that if they should
DO that it would only tend to drive
the business from the road, in order to
get cheaper rates. The road must be
made paying proposition or else it
will be junked.
He said that Martin Walsh, the new
ly appointed receiver. is willing to do
everything within his power to serve
the interests of the people along the
line, but the service renderd must be
done at cost not to exceed the reve-
nue., as the earnings must pay all ex-
penses, there being no other funds
available since the withdrawal of the
government guarantee.
Mr.. Allen declares that the interests
| of southwest Arkansas demand that
the line be operated regularly until
tsuchs time as, the road. can be put on it's
feet financially or until it can be
brought under the control of some
strong railroad line which could use
lit profitably as feeder, This later
solution Mr. Allen thought to be the
most likely.

HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGE
Automobile Travelling i'm Zig Tag
Formation Leads to Arrest.

Mena, Sept IA. - When Deputy
Sheriff Vol Ellsworth discovered an
auto trveling "zig-zag" fashion down
the country road near his home, he
investigated and found Bill Dean and
Albert Berger, two we'll known Mena
men comfortably resting near the car,
which had finally stalled. A small
quantity of moonshire liquor was
found hidden in the corner of the fence
but Dean and Merger denied there was
any connection between the "piletop"
and the erratic driving of the car.
both men were arrested and
will be given hearing before Justice
Sam Smith.
