BENEFIT DANCE.

A dance will be given in the Liberty
theater Wednesday evening, September
29, for the benefit of the hospital. The
proceeds of this dance are not to go
for the purpose of liquidating any con-
tracted debt but for necessities requir-
ed in conducting this important public
institution. Under the present careful
management the hospital is steadily
gaining ground financially, and is be-
coming a self sustaining institution.
There are certain furnishings that
must be supplied and it was decided
that fund could be raised through
the medium of public dance to meet
the cost. No. one will nretend to deny
the Importance of this hospital. or it's
value as an asset and we believe the
community will respond generously in
patronizing the forthcoming dance. The
price of tickets has been placed at a
nominal sum and those who invest and
indulge in dancing will extract vast
amount of pleasure out of the event
while helping alonp a worthy cause
Those who do not dance will buy tick
cts just to aid in keeping up an insti-
tuition that the town could not we'll get
along without.

THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.

In an interview with Wenatchee
World reporter Hon. Geo. j. Hurley,
of Loomis, pioneer of the county, had
the follwing say the early days in
the Okanogan country:
Geo. ]. Hurley, old timer in the
Okanogan country, who has been a
resident there for 3S years, passed
through Wenatchee yesterday on his
way home to Loomis. Mr.. Hurley was
one of the organizers of Okanogan
county and was one of the first COM
missioners. The other two were Guy
Warning and William Granger.
Mr. Hurley, speaking of the good
old days said: when We came
through Wenatchee on our way to the
Okanogan country the first time, Sam
Miller and John Freer. who operated
the only store there, offered to give us
five acres and building, provided we
would put in stock. However the
mining boom was on in the Okanogan
country and We headed up toward Ru-
by. We put in the first store in Okla
hogan county at that place. The town
became a city of 1,200 persons. Jona-
than Bourne, later senator from Ore
gon, became interested, and Bourne
anu Shoi ne A<ou6htOii, LII ot
governor of the state of Washington,
put a lot of money in Ruby and Con-
cOnully, which are six or seven miles
apart. Ruby became an incorporated
town and was the first county seat.
when | was reelected county COM
missioner in 1894. county warrants
were worth only 30 cents on the dol
lar. All the land in the county was In
dian land and there was no taxable
real estate. There was considerable
cattle and other personal property but
it did not near begin to pay the ex
penses of the county government.
"All this country from the Wenat-
chez river to the Okanogan river was
the property of the Indians till the
fall of 1896 when it was opened for
and mining.
when we were offered the store
we told Miller frankly there was moth
ing here to justify the opening of a
store.
We'll" said he, "a railroad is liable
to come over through here some day
But l told them There is a rail-
road across the mountains 40 miles
away which is in the hands of re-
ceiver.
so little did We think of railroad
being brought through for a great
period of years, but the Great North
ern came four years later"

ATHLETIC CLUB.

1t may not be generally known but
Oroville has an Athletic club, or at
least an Athletic club in the process of
making. A number of young men about
town are formulating plans for the Or
ganization of such club as is men,
toned, indeed they have progressed SO
far that tentative organization has
been completed so far as selecting Of
ficers and securing at least temporary
quarters. Ross Griffith has been Sc
lected as president and Dan Reeder as
secretary and there is enough of push
in the official end of the club to make
| it going concern. We have not been
informed as to just how far the boys
have gone in the way of accumulating
paraphernalia, although they have Sc
cured the Greiger building, at the
northwest corner of Spokane street
and First avenue just back of
the Hotel de Grubb, in which to meet
and do the athletic turn, or whatever
line of exercise or social pastime may
be decided upon. The Gazette is pleas
ed to note this movement on the part
of the young men and earnestly trust
that every desirable youth in the town
may become a member This club gives
them a place in which to spend the
evenings away from places where
young men should not congregate and
opens way for them to pass the even
ings pleasantly and to their mutual ad-
vantage. 1t was a satisfaction to hear
the clean cut young secretary declare
that this Athletic club would start out
right. The club is not organized to
raise he'll, or steer members in that di-
rection. Too often these clubs cover
multitude of sins by palliating and
encouraging gambling drinking. and
general rowdyism. The man who joins
this new Athletic club with the expec-
tations of rolling high is going to find
himself in the wrong pew. The club is
not to be mollycOddling. sissy organ
ization. but will be made up of red
blooded young Americans. who join to-
gether for the pleasure of mutual in
tercourse and the benefit to be derived
from healthy exercise. 1t is a move
ment in the right direction and should
be encouraged and supported by every
business man. parent and resident of
the town. The Gazette feels safe in
promising that the boys can depend
upon the community standing behind
them with material assistance so long
as the club is conducted along the
lines laid down at the inception of the
organization.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Sunday evening Riley Hurlbert. of
TOnasket, was very seriously injured
in an auto accident when he went off
the grade near TOnasket on the west
side of the river. DR.. Lewis was sum-

numerous bruises and cuts about the
head and a severe injury to the back

ing as well as could be expected under
the circumstances. 1t seems that Mr..
Hurlbert was driving from his ranch
a few miles below Tonasket to town
and was going at very high speed.
His car struck a soft place in the road
just before reaching the bridge across
the Okanogan river and the driver
lost control. The front Of the car shot
into the bank and the rebound carried
the machine backward over the grade.
Mr.. Hurlbert was pinned between the
car and a tree. Mr.. Hurlbert's young
son who was in the car escaped with
out injury. The patient is still in SER
ious condition, but having a strong
constitution he may recover.

1t Is horse on US. For the first time
in fifty years we did not vote Tuesday
when the opportunity to vote was pre-
sented. We were disfranchised by our
own laches. After having pounded the
public on the back, insisting that they
register. we failed to practice what we
preached. We were laboring under the
Impression that We had registered
back in January, did intend to verify
this impression by inspecting the reg
listration books and then went off on
la vacation and remained away until
after the books were closed. The one
vote cuts no figure in the election one
way or the other. but it was humiliat-
ing not to be able to exercise the fran
chise when so anxious to help out q
few candidates on the ticket.
