CHAUTAUQUA TURNED DOWN.

In former days a Chautauqua series
of entertainments stood for better
and more refined class of entertain
ments or diversions than is usually
expected from travelling troupes and
companies, but it would seem that of
late, the so-called attractions sent out
by the line OF booking agencies have
greatly deteriorated, and tie commu-
nifty that signs up for Chautauqua
festival gets cheap line of high pric-
ed alleged attractions. The mthod of
procedure is for citizens to sign an
iron clad contract pledging a certain
sum to the agencies engaged in sup
plying entertainments, in which the
agencies take no risks, are at no ex-
pense for hall rent, advertising and
incidentals. Very frequently those who
sign such pledges are taxed at the end
OF the series to make up deficit. OrO-
vile recently passed through the
throes of a Chautauqua festival. The
Commercial Club stood sponsor for
the price, and fortunately, the short
age amounted to only $16.50. Over the
program offered we shall draw the
mantle of charity. The same attrac-
tiens were presented over large por-
tion of Eastern Washington. We have
watched our exchanges carefully and
so far as we could discover there was
not a favorable mention made of this
years Chautauqua festival The local
Commercial Club went on record at
the Friday evening meeting as refus-
ing to entertain another proposal for
a repetition of ChautauQua entertain
ments for the coming year.

HELP OUT THE GOOD WORK.

Elsewhere in this issue mention is
made of an effort on the part of the
town health officer and the teachers of
the schools to eradicate skin diseases,
eye and ear troubles that are afflict-
ing a number of pupils, and this
movement should receive the hearty
Endorsement and assistance of every
parent having children In school. The
purpose Is to insist upon a cure Of
those afflicted and to save those not
so far sufferers from contamination
1t is not pleasant duty to perform,
but tbs paper feels that it has become
necessary to call attention to one, at
least, most disagreeable ailment from
which large number of scholars are
suffering, apd that duty becomes more
pronounced by the publication of this
reference to conditions By the health
officer. The general public will be
surprised to learn that there are a
large number of cases of itch among
the pupils of the schools. The very
name itch is abhorrent, and to utter
it creates an inclination to start
scratching. 1t can be conveyed from
one to another about as rapidly as
smallpox, and one case in school can
inoculate all the pupis. A parent
knowing a child to be so afflicted
should not permit that child to attend
school and endanger others, and those
parents who take every care to safe
guard their offsprings from ailments
of this nature should enter strong
protest against danger Of spreading
this annoying disease. The community
as whole should stand behind the
health officer and the teachers in the
effort being made to stamp out all
ailments that might be spread in the
schools.

MADE A MISTAKE.

Jack Martin is one of the most I'M
luck birds who has ever winged his
way from across the line into this
border town. Mr.. Martin blew in Tues
day, and he carried a cargo of joy
water that was the envy of all those
anxious for a nip and are barred out
by the prevailing aridness Cor sup
posed aridness) of this state. Mr.. Mar
tin staggered up against Marshal CAL
houn and was Immediately taken in.
The next day the local justice soaked
him for fines and costs amounting to
SAL. 1t was unfortunate for Mr.. Mar
tin that he carried his liquor on the
inside of himself instead of in quart
bottles. Had he come in with a con-
signment of bottled goods he could
have easily disposed of large guam
tity, and as bis fine would have been
no more, II apprehended, than it was
for being plain drunk, he would have
been away ahead Of the hounds. 1t is
very difficult to understand how one
man with ten bottles of liquor on his
premises. which he was distributing
at profiteering prices to debauch
young and old men of the town can
get off with the insignificant fine OF
$50 when a working man guilty of a
plain drunk, gets hit for almost the
same sum. What does bootlegger
care for fine of that size when he
makes such a profit out of the goods
that he handles. No wonder bootleg.
ging flourishes. And what's the use ol
officers making arrests for bootleg
ging?

SECHOOL OF MINES.

The State College of Washington at
fullman announces that a school OF
mines and geology covering a twelve
weeks course in mining, geology. as
saying, ore testing, metallurgy. miner
alogy and mine surveying will open
January 3, 1921. This school should
attract number of young men and
prospectors from this part of the
state who may wish to obtain yerv
valuable instruction.
The object Of the college in Offering
these courses is to assist mature men
interested in mining who have not had
the time or perhaps the preliminary
training necessary to enter the four
year course in mining and metallurgy.
seriousness Of purpose with the
ability to read and write intelligently
and 20 work ordinary problems In ar
ithmetic' are the only requirements .t
entrance to these courses, except that
no man under q years of age will be
admitted
The instruction, whenever possible
Is Of II ':.ora cry character, the student
bang taught t. do by doing. This al
plies to assaying, surveying. drafting,
chemistry, mineralogy, oretesting. etc.
Whenever the lecture room Is used
it will be for the purpose Uf describing
and illustrating the best methods and
practices in mining or metallnrgy.
Any student will be allowed to spec
lalize as much as he wishes, upon any
OF the subjects taught. In addition the
regular lectures Of any Of the depart
ments of the college are open to the
students of the Winter School of
Mines.
A further opportunity for special
work is afforded by the excellent Ii
Drary facilities of the institution,
which include practically all of the
standard works in the English Ian
guage on mining and metallurgy, as
well as current numbers and bound
files OF all important mining and
other technical periodicals and trans
actions of technical societies. The IL
brary is open all day and until ten
O'Clock every evening except Sunday.
A deposit of $25 is required of all
students taking assaying and chemis-
try. Such large amount of material
Is used by the student in these coures
as taught by us, that we think it only
fair that he shold assist in defraying
part of the cost of fuel, fluxes and
chemicals used by him in his own|
work
The only expenses aside from this
is his board and room and for a few
text books.
A certificate signed by the head Of
the departments giving instruction in
this work will be granted to those
satisfactorily completing either Of tho
courses.
AS it may not be possible to accom-
modate all those wishing to enroll, ap-|
plication should be made to the Dean
of the School of Mines and Geology,
Pullman, Washington.

NEW BAKERY.

The Weed brothers, two new arriv-
ais in OrOville are making plans to
open and operate first class bakery
in this place. Through Dell Hart they
have leased the Grleger building, at
the northwest corner of First avenue
and Spokane street and will open for
business as soon as the place can be
fitted up for the purpose for which it
is to be used. We are informed one of
the brothers, who will have charge of
the producing end of the business, hes
had 20 years experience as baker
In cities where in order to hold ones
own one must be an artist in the hand
ling of dough, reference being made to
the dough worked out of flour and
not the common exchange Of COM
merce that is often spoken of as
dough" If Mr.. Weed, the baker, can
make bread to compete with the bread
imported from Seattle, Spokane and
Wenatchee he has hit upon the best
point in the state for bakery. Hun
dreds of loaves are shipped into Oro-
Vile each day from the cities named
The making of bread is an art of the
home that is about lost and almost
every family depends upon bakers
bread for table use. A home baker
should not only crowd out all foreign
competition, but greatly increase the
demand for the baker brand of the
staff of life. Furthermore, Oroville is
most fortunately situated to create an
outside market for first-class bread.
All the towns of this upper country
draw largely upon the cities for
bread supply, and If the Oroville ba-
ker can compete in quality and price
with the city producer he should grad
ually win over all that trade. What Is
greatly to his advantage is that all
trains going out of Oroville leave ear
ly in the morning, and that would
give the Oroville baker chance to put
his bread into neighboring towns per-
fectly fresh and promptly every day
at an early hour. A baker at Oroville
who can turn this trick is sure to
build up large and flourishing busi-
ness, moreso than he ever dreamed of
and we trust that the Weed brothers
will be able to fill the bill and lay the
foundation of an immense business.

At last it can be announced that the
big water wheel for the new power
plant of the Okanogan Valley Fower
company has arrived and will be

in the state prepared to meet every
demand for electric service.

find the box containing the casket in

The Christmas programs at the sew

crowded with visitors. Those who had
the good fortune to be present have
only words of praise for the excellent
entertainment furnished which re-
Elected great credit upon both teach
ers and pupils, the rooms were pret.

supremely happy by the distribution
of presents.

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

The teachers at the school house in
the south part of town have been
missing wood, the shrinkage was re-
ported to MARSHAL Calhoun and that
active officer spent several nights on
watch in the hopes of mailing the
wood rustlers. While his vigilence
failed to discover the wood thieves 1t
led up to landing bigger game During
the time he was in hiding his atten-
ton, and then his curiosity, was ar
oused by noticing autos driving down
to the Stanton residence, now occu-
pied by one Paul Flanagan "a rail-
road brakesman. What struck him as
odd was that when the auto reached
the house, which had previously been
all lit up, the lights would go out for
few minutes and then switch on
again and the autos would glide away.
Marshal Calhoun stalked the house
Sunday night, and after almost freez-
ing to death while lying in wait,
saw enough to convince him that
liquor was the attraction that was
drawing the cars to that rendezvous.
After throwing paralyzing scare in
to two otherwise amiable and law
abiding citizens by stopping the ve-
hicle on it's return trip from the
source of contraband fluid supply, and
asking for ride, Marshal Calhoun
hunted up Deputy Sheriff IIcose and
the two officers made raid upon the
premises. Flanagan responded to the
summons at the door and upon dis
covering the officers it Is alleged he
almost threw a fit. He was given no
opportunity to cover up his tracts and
while Officer Hoose searched In one
part of the house Officer Calhoun
chased Flanagan into the kitchen
where a sack was found containing a.
number of bottles of whisky. Friends
of Flannigan put up cash bond oil
$500. and the county officers were no.
titled, as 1t was discovered that the
Stanton property is over the line out
side of the town limits. The county
arrived but did not take the
case in hand. Mr.. Flanagan appeared
before Judge Murray Tuesday and
was fined $50 and costs. Oh! hell.

distant day up to the present period con-

OF the greatest sustaining faiths of the
history or the world. In these troubled
times when some of the pillars of our CIV
ilization seems to be threatened there is
still one source of confidence to all who
seek 1.-THE inspiration and example of
Jesus Christ which Is commemorated bv
practically the entire civilized world on
the 25th day of December each year 1t
is interesting to look back in history and
learn the real meaning of Christmas. The
Christian era was introduced about the
year 527 The birth of Christ was cele
brated about the year 753 from the foun-
dalton of Rome by Dionysius EXigiuus. a
Scythian monk. The observance of the
birthday of Jesus Christ was not estab-
llshed until some time after the organi
cation of the first church. Some histor-
ians claim that Clement of Allhandria
mentioned Christmas in the beginning of
the third century and Chrysostom speaks
of it in the fourth century as having been
observed for some time. Since the ap-
pointment of the 25th day of December
as the day to commemorate the birth of
Jesus Christ, confidence in Him has been
sustained throughout the many vicissi
tudes of time. Christmas is a time for
spiritual rejoicing, time when we may
well reflect upon our spiritual program
and progress. May His coming this year
bring Peace on Earth to Men of Good
Will"
