TO BE A LAWYER.

Garland Ethel, an OrOville boy who
granduated from the local high school
and has been attending the University
at Seattle for the past two years, was
home this week spending the spring
vacation. Mr.. Ethel is taking the legal
course at the U and it Is our predic-
ton that he is going to make his mark
in his chosen profession, for failure
is unknown to lad who wins educa-
ton under the discouraging circum-
stances that has confronted Mr.. Eth
els efforts Although without means
the young man set his heart upon OBJ
tanning a higher education when he
left the local school, Where there is
will there is a way and Mr.. Ethel
found the way. He went to work at
anything he could find to do, for
long time filling the position OF as
sistant in the Oroville 'ostoffice. and
through his efforts during the summer
has been able to make sufficient to
carry him through school. He is going
to reach the goal that he is headed for
and reach it with honors. being an
other individual to give the lie to the
demagogues of the country who insist
that there is no more opportunities
for the young man in this country Mr..
Ethel is proving, as thousands of men
have proved before him, that America
is about the only country in the world
that holds out golden opportunity to
the young man with self-respect. in
dustry, pep and determination.

Hurley has had a close squeak hold

that for time threatened to get the

man down, although just at the pres
ent time he does not look altogether
fit to enter the ring against Dempsey.
He is in cheerful spirits, however, and
with the coming Of warm weather he
will be back to his normal health. Mr..
Hurley is member of the county
game commission, and takes great
deal of interest in the protection and
increasing the supply of game birds
and fish. He states that it is the inten-
ton of the commission, besides turn

DROPPED ANOTHER.

The Oroville Gun Club dropped an
other contest last Sunday, Wenatchee
being the victors. 1t is true the locals
slipped up on one point only. but so
far as counting in the tournament it
might as well have been a dozen. For
some reason the boys are not making
the record they did last year, or the
other fellows are making better rec
Ords, for instead of leading all COM
petitOrs, as the locals did last year,
the are now in fourth place. There
was an unusually large crowd at the
traps Sunday as large representa-
tion from the Tonasket club was on
the ground to shot over the Oroville
traps. The most striking feature of the
Oroville shoot was the fact that J. q.
Hare made clean score. This Is the
first time in two tournaments that ne

though he has always shot con 5ist-
emily, breaking "a targets being CON-

CANNERY ASSURED.

This paper has been requested to an
nounce that in all human probability
OrOville is to have cannery this
year. and that farmers and land own
ers under the ditch are requested to
prepare hot beds to grow the neces-
sary tomato plants for supplying the
vegetables of that character which
the cannery will require when the
vegetable is matured and ready for
treatment The fact is that there Is not
a doubt as to the building and equip
ping of this cannery. An experienced
cannery man is here to superintend
construction and equipment, the mon-
ey Is raised to meet all costs, the rail-
road has granted rates that will allow
the cannery to compete on equal
grounds with all the cannerles of the
coast, and a market has been secured.
There are few minor details to be
settled and it is expected that those
loose ends will be picked up and
adjusted by the 10th of the present
month. In order to supply this can
merry with the required material 1t is
necessary for land owners to contract
at least 200 acres of tomatoes. and
considering the number OF available
acres under the irrigation system
there should be no difficulty expert
enced in having that acreage signed
up. At last and after many days long
felt want is to be supplied. A cannery
has been crying necessity at this
point. and now 1t is to be provided.
The pleasing feature OF the installa-
tion of this cannery Is that it is bound
to make such success that 1t will
expand in capacity from year to year.
and its success will be an incentive
for the installation of other canneries.
Vegetables and soft fruits in abund-
ance can be grown in the valley under
our splendid irrigation system. That Is
what canneries want. There is an in
eXhaustable market for superior
brands OF canned goods and nowhere
can choicer material be procured for
canning than right around Oroville. It
is with the greatest satisfaction that
we are able to announce the securing
of this important industry, and to the
activity of the Commercial Club are
the people indebted for winning this
enterprise for Oroville.

DEATH OF AN OLD TIMER.

VIM. Norton died at the county poor
farm, near Okanogan. Friday last
All Of the older residents remember
big Bill Norton, who lived here from
the time of the coming Of the Great
Northern railroad until about a year
ago when his failing health and the
helplessness of age necessitated his
becoming a county charge at the farm
where indigents are cared for. A gen.
eral breaking down from old age was
the cause of death. Norton. a large,
white haired and white bearded man,
was a conspicuous figure on the
streets of this place for years. a harm
less, quiet, good natured old soul, too
old for work, and for long time re-
ceived much assistance from AL. Fox,
whose hand is always open helping
the needy, and other old acquaint-
ances. 1t was with a great deal Of re-
luctance that he at last consented to
20 to the poor farm, although already
a pensioner on the county. and was
taken othat haven for the aged and
destitute by Mr.. Fox. He did not sur
vive the change many months. VIM.
Norton would have been 88 years old
had he lived until May 3rd. He was
born in Shreveport, La. and served
in the confederate army during the
civil war. Shortly after the war his
wife and childred died of yellow fever
and Norton drifted west. He was To-
comotive engineer in his earlier days,
running on the Kansas Pacific, and was
one of the oldest engineers In the
country. For time he was contested
with the Pinkerton detective force. He
finally found his way to the coast,
coming to Oroville, as stated, when
the railroad was first built into the
valley, the last work he ever done be-
ing on construction of that road. A
purse was made up here among the
old friends, a lot was purchased in the
Okanogan cemetery and the deceased
was given a decent burial.

BASKET BALL AT MOLSON.

Last Friday, March Goth. two very
lively basket ball games were played
between the Chesaw and Nelson
school teams in Eagle hall, Chesaw,
girls and boys teams both playing. A
large crowd was present to witness
the games, and as the playing pro-
gressed and grew warm the audience
rallied each to his home town and
players The Chesawites were out in
full force and backed the home team
to a man. The enthusiastic support
given by the community as whole to
the school teams was rewarded by the
players winning both games. The score
of the girls team stood to in Che
saws favor. and the score between the
boys stood 13 to 3 for Chesaw.
The lineup was as follows:

| 1t is stated that most of the veterans
who were seriously incapacitated have
had their claims adjusted. but those
with minor injuries have failed TO
gain advantage of their rights. In or
der to hasten their discharge, many
stated they were in good physical con-
ditiOn and therefore have an eronloas
idea they We're not compensate.
Likewise some believe they have no
claim because the defect was not noted
on their discharge or because they
were not in the front line trenches.
The government. however. has recog-
nized these acts were due to the nat
ural enthusiasm of the boys in their
desire to return home. and has waiv-
ed them as barrier to compensation.
1t is the Commissions desire to have
word reach every ex-soldier. sailor or
marine that no matter how slight their
injury, they may have just claims
against the government and should
file application Immediately. Those
who have been discharged over one
year can have their cases appealed in
dividually to Washington, ID. C., by

This feature of government service
Is entirely distinct from, and should
not be confused with "war risk insur-
