1t was rather a shock to old time
fans to look over the collection of ball
players representing Oroville on the
diamond Sunday and see only two for
mer Oroville players dancing around
the turf-Bumgartner and Bartell.
However, the new material is made up
of new arrivals in the vicinity, and
they have the stuff in them out Of
which corking good ball players are
made. The club has valuable recruit 8
in Curtis, Davis, Balmes, Herman and
Beck. Powell and Snyder were missing
from the old line up, but they will be
in the game at the next session. The
material is here out of which to build
up an organization that can hold its
own with the best amateur clubs in
north central Washington, and We en-
pect to have a good report from them
before the season is closed.

Oroville escped a fire for about nine
months. the longest period of immun-
ity during the past twelve years, and
now there have been two fires within
a month. Fires have a habit of COM
ing in punches of three, or at least
that is the general superstition of
firemen, and another is probably due
here within the next few weeks.
Saturday there was on display at the
OrOville Commercial company's store a
rainbow trout that had all the D
noes of being a second cousin to a
whale. The fish was brought over to
Oroville by Geo. ]. Hurley, of Loomis,

sion. 1t had been speared by the sup
erintendent of the fish hatchery, at

the largest rainbow trout ever seer in

Attorney Adams is as skillful in the
handling of a saw and plane as he is
in drawing a brief. He learned the art
of carpentry in his youth and his hand
has never lost it's cunning. His knowl-
edge Of tools stands him in good stead
just now, as recently he attached
through investment a valuable piece
of real estate of considerable dimen-
sions under the ditch and for the past
fortnight has spent more time out OF
doors than in the office, building
fumes and getting his land in shape
for production.

SILK DRESSES OF THE BETTER
QUALITY

A large section of flume on the main
canal of the West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation system just west of the salts
plant went out Monday night. Fortu-
nately the break was among the rocks
and little damage was done by the rush
of waters. Engineer Zediker with his
force of men repaired the break Tues
day. Owing to the topography of the
land and the necessity of using large
stretches of flume carrying a heavy
volume of water the main canal from
the intake on the Similkameen to the
Okanogan valley is always going to be
a danger point in the system until a
more permanent system a be substi-
tuted for the one now in use.

1t is getting to be a habit with per-
sons meeting with auto accidents of
a minor nature to request the news
paper not to mention it, which is a
most unwise request, because when
ever an accident of this kind occurs the
air is filled with reports as to how it
happened, and those reports are not
always to the credit of the drivers.
Better have a fair statement made Is
to how an accident happened, even If q
driver is slightly, or negligently, at
fault, than to have a dozen different
versions floating around, which often
depicts an unavoidable accident as the
criminal fault of a driver.

Mr.. Peto Wing Of Hawk Point,
Mo, made a lot Of money out OF his
hogs lie says: II fed them DR., Le-
Gears Hog Prescription. 1t has given
wonderful results in putting gains
on them with less feed. They were

when Sold
Mr. Wing prohted by the advice Of
Dr.. LeGear, Graduate Veterinarian
and Expert Poultry Breeder, OF 2S
years standing.
Or. LeGear's Hog Prescription
will put weight on your hogs also,
because it eXpels worms, purifies the
blood and conditions them SO that
they gain flesh on less feed.
1t makes no difference what all
ment is prevalent among your stock
or poultry, it is money in your pocket
to get the proper Dr. LeGear Remedy
from your dealer on satisfaction
or money back offer.-adv.

500, 900 FARMERS ASKED TO GO
On Strike nS Protest Against the Alb
normal Dcilation Of Prices.

Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. lS.--A ma
bat the falling prices Of farm pro-
ducts was urged in call sent out to-
day by the National Farmers Union
to its local unions throughout the
country.
The call, in the form of a resolu-
ton adopted at the national conven-
tion Of the organization here, went
forward to the secretaries Of local
branches Of the organization, which
represents producers Of grain, cot
ton, wool and live stock, said to num-
Der 100000.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal deflation in the
prices Of farm products, through
which, it was asserted, "American
farmers have been robbed Of one bill
lion dollars in reduced value Of pro-
ducts now on hand" All farmers
| were urged to hold this years pro-
| duction from the markets until pro
| iit-making levels" were restored
The action OF the National Farm
crs Union was in line with Il wheat
strike" called several weeks ago by
! the Wheat Growers Association Of
the United states. Delegates asserted
that q cOnSilora Bile uuantity of thic
years wheat {. . was being held OF

Reduction OF production in the flu
turc was threatened unless the
prices OF our products are fairly re-
adjusted to the end that we may OBJ
tam Just returns for our laborS and
investments" in another resolution
approved by the convention.
Officials of the organization point
cd out that members were not under
obliEation to obey the terms of the
strike, but expressed the belief that
such a movement would be effective.
