RED CROSS AND EX.SERvICE MAN.

The troubles of the eX-service man
seem to be growing greater as time
has advanced. Many a one had thought
that his physical handicap would be
removed by time but in many in.
stences the man has found MS disa-
hiiities growing greater, aud he is
urable to meet the demands upon his
physical being, and is unable to pro-
vide for himself and family as he
should. The many lines of red tape
required by the government to adjust
these claims is many times beyond the
ability of the man to carry out, and
many times he will not trouble himself
to fill in the many papers required
and his claim is not adjusted.
Chelan-Okanogan County Chapter of
the Red Cross is employing a secretary
to assist in making these claims. Any
man who has any claim against the
government for undelivered Liberty
Bonds. unadjusted travel pay, bonus,
allowance, physical disability
insurance, compensation, ETC., will find
it to their advantage to apply to the
organization, and they will gladly rem
der any assistance in their power to-
wards making the adjustment.
During the past three months six
teen men have been placed in hospitals
by the direct effort of the Red Cross,
and sixty have been given assistance
in making compensation adjustments.
Local Red Cross officers will render
assistance or address Red Cross, We
natchee, giving necessary information.
Immediate attention will be given.

HURT IN AN AUTO OCCDENT.

A. j. Long Is laid up at the Hotel do
Grubb with several broken ibis. the
result of his auto going into the ditch
about IL o'clock Tuesday morning at
a point on the county road q short
distance north of Omak. Mr.. Long,
accompanied by his wife, left Loomis
Tuesday morning for Okanogan. As
there was no snow on the ground at
Loomis Mr.. Long did not stop to put
chains on his wheels. Before reaching
Omak he found the ground covered
with slight skiff of snow. with ice
under the snow in spots. Going down
grade before reaching Omak the
car suddenly Slowed around, skidding
on the snow, and toppled over bank
some six or eight feet high. Mr.. Long
realized that the car was going to up
set and called to his wife to prepare
for the spill and managed to get free
from behind the wheel, but was
caught under the side Of the car. Mrs.
Long escaped with few bruises, but
had three or four ribs broken and was
severely bruised about the face. Very
fortunately the soil was sandy where
the car went off the grade and he
thus escaped more serious injury. Mr..
Long had stopped the car before going
off the grade and when 1t was righted
1t was driven on to Okanogan. From
that place Mr.. Long was brought to
Oroville by train and was patched up
by Dr. Webb MIR. Long Is suffering
good deal but will be himself again in
a few weeks.

OLD TIMERS.

Ted and Mike Maloney, of Spring
coulee, were in town the latter part Of
last week. They were up in this ,art
of the county after hay, for these an
cient citizens are among the pioneer
stockmen of Okanogan county. The
word ancient" is used more in its ap-
plication to long time citizenship than
with any reference as to their accumu-
lation of years, and even at that the
Maloneys are no pin feather birds. The
old boys have lived in the county for a
quarter of century, and at the time
of their first coming the white man
was a seldom individual in the large
territory then constituting Okanogan
county. Ted and Mike, Mike and Ted
are familiar names to all of the older
residents of the county, and there are
few better known or better liked resi-
dents of the county. 1t is only a: long
periods that we see the Maloney hrosh-
ers, but in the days of real sport when
political nominations were made
t.~ ,sh the medium of the convention
we were sure to see one or the other
of the reliables every two years, for
no republica convention was ever call
ed to order until the chairman of the
county central committee cast his eye
over the assembly Of delegates present
and lit upon the jolly countenance OF
one or the other of the brothers.

TO SHIP. ORE.

l The Submarine mine Is to ship two
cars of ore to the smelter. c. w. Smith
who as an assayer and experienced
miner and hence in position to do
the work right, is sorting ore for the
purpose of getting out two car loads.
During the process of development
work during the fall. some of the
choicest ore so far uncovered in this
immediate locality has been discover
ed on the Submarine, and that in such
quantities as should settle its status
as a real mine. What further effort
is to be made after the extraction and
shipment of this ore by the operators
we have not been informed, but the
Submarine is really too valuable
property to let lie idle. Energetic op-
erations should result in making this
mine a regular shipper, if the COM
pany felt that shipping was justified,
although the property would more
speedily become dividend payer,
judging from the ore exposure, If
means were nearer at hand for the
treatment of the ore. This latter plan
is under contemplation we understand.
1t is hoped the company may be able
to push development, for a paying
mine would be very important factor
in aiding the prosperity Of Oroville.

STRICTLY PURE.

lhere are numerous advantages that
ofoVllle possesses over other localities
III the state as a place of resid nee,
and not the least of those advantages
Is The purity of the drinking water
supplied by the municipal system of
water works. Without cause or reason.
without particle of evidence upon
which to base the conclusion, there
nave been people living in town who
have set up the claim that the water
used from the pumping station is
contaminated. Any such statement is
wholly without foundation of fact. On
the contrary, the quality of water used
IN Oroville for domestic purposes is
Tree from impurities and as healthy q
fluid used to quench the thirst as will
be found in any municipality in the
state This declaration is based upon
a report just issued by the sanitary
engineer of the State Board of Health
just received by the town celrk. That
report reads as follows:
Mr. E. r. HOOse town clerk,
Oroville, Wash.
Dear Sir:-At the time of the sani-
tary survey of the Oroville water sup
ply. samples of water were taken by
myself at the following points of the
system:
Sample No, 1.-At the pump house.
(well.)
Sample No. Prom the reservoir.
Sample No. 4.-From tap at Hotel
de Grubb.
The archaeological examination
made in our laboratory has failed to
reveal any evidence of contamination.
showing that the water may be safely
used for drinking and culinary pur-
poses
However, sample No. 3 taken from
Osoyoos lake, contains organisms of
the b. Coli group. which indicate fecal
contamination of the water. This con-
dition was fully expected and Is due
to the campers. farmers, etc, on the
lake shores.
If your citizens decide to use Osoy-
oos lake as the source of their water
supply 1t will therefore be necessary
to sterilize said water with liquid
chlorine: and this office will be very
clad to furnish you with all informant
ion pertaining to the apparatus, its in
stallation. it's operation. etc
The sample No. taken from the
Great Northern we'll was also free
from contamination.
Verv truly yours,

EXPERIENCED MINER,

John M. Wentworth returned to Oro-
vile last week form trip to Portland
where he had gone on mining business.
Mr.. Wentworth is one of the oldest
prospectors and mine operators in the
For many years he conduct
ed a hotel at Loomis, but that was
more of a side line than an established
business occupying his entire atten-
ton. Most of his days were spent in
the hills, doing mining work or super
intending development on mining
claims. His experience in mining has
not been confined to OkanOgan county
where there has been much mining.
and yet so far, returns to operators
hardly commensurate with the labor
performed and money expended, for he
has delved in he earh in Monana Ida
no, and other states where the produ =
ton of mineral has been and Still IS
an important industry. Mr.. Wentworth
is practical miner and so familiar
with all processes of mining ana the
various minerals that he is looked dp-
on as a reliable authority upon these
subjects. He has a number Of excell-
ent prospects in this locality and IS
lining up with backing that will eoab,e
him to demonstrate their true value
during the next few months.

triai disputes to arbitration, the ma
chinery Tor the purpose to be provided
py the national government. This
subject Is one in which people gener-
ally are interested and while the young
people Will probably not settle it FRI
day night it is safe to say tha, as a
result OF extended and intensive effort
they Will present facts that should IN
tereSt all.
According to the rules IF the debate
1t is required that the entertaining

Earle Hills. The boys together with
their coach have worked hard and the

AT THE LYRIC.

The Lyric is in the running for the
cc,nlYhg week with a most Interesting
Cooking of attractions that will draw
the usual large audiences to that pop
ular resort. For Saturday and Sunday
evenings Manager Stoltz has billed
The Stealers." This story. predicted
on theme universal in its appeal,
tells of the regenratiOn Of minister
of the gospel who had turned crook in
studied effort to blaspheme his cre-
ator for wrongs that he fancied that
God had thrust upon him. The cast in
cludes William II. Tooker, well
known actor, as the minister, Ruth
Dwyer, Norma Shearer, Jack Crosby,
Walter Miller and Mathew l.. Betz, all
popular actors. On account of the
length of this special program the pic
ture will be flashed on the screen at
o'clock, some Is minutes earlier than
the usual time. For next Wednesday
and Thursday evenings the Lyric will
present Mary Miles Minter in Jenny
Be Good" This Is beautiful and ex-
citing story principally laid In New
York. One Of the great attractions of
the play are the bird features. Almost
every animal that Noah saved for the
exhibition talents of the modern circus
trainers has been successfully pre-
sented on the screen, but the wild bird
until the present remained untamed
But in Jenny Be Good" the result has
been obtained. AS Miss Minter plays
the violin at the tree house, her fav-
orite play spot, the birds fly down
from the branches of the trees and
gather about her on the ground and
in the trees, one of the strangest audi
ences ever gathered anywhere. In ad-
dition to the main feature there will be
a two reel Christie comedy "A Sea Side
Siren" and the usual instructive Out
ing Scenic, altogether making an un-
usually strong bill.

H. l.. Atkins, who is assisting the
Van Atlas in the management Of the
Liberty theater, returned from Seattle
this week. While in that city he sign
ed up for a long string of the best
productions that are now being pre-
sented on the screen, and movie fans
have numerous treats ahead.
The Ladies Aid of the Methodist
church held quite successful bazaar
in the Bowen Auto company's garage
Saturday afternoon. Many pretty and
useful articles were on sale and the
cooked food found many ready buyers
because it was of quality that at
tracted purchasers.
Miss Esterbrook, recently in charge
of the Oroville General hospital in
conjunction with Miss Pearl Stevens.
reached Oroville Tuesday evening on
her way to her home at Penticton, af-
ter vacation trip through Washing

not get beyond Oroville. As soon as
DR.. Elmer learned that the young lady
was in town he commandeered her
services to nurse Thos. Stewart, who
is in serious condition at the hos
pital suffering from hemorrhage of

off above the dam Sunday the small
pools were Utterly alive with cells,
while in some places fish could be
taken out by hand.
Arthur Ricketts, is still confined to
his room, but more favorable reports
are received as to his condition. The
young man suffered from an attack of
Dright's disease and for time was in
quite serious condition.
Monday, Thos. Stewart, night watch
man at the Ruby mine, climbed up the
mountain to a neighboring claim.
Evidently the exertion was too much
for him, as he suddenly became dizzy
upon his return which was followed
by violent vomiting. DR.. Elmer was
called who pronounced his ailment

was brought down to the Oroville
General hospital Tuesday afternoon
His chances of recovery are said to
be very slight.
Mrs. Opal Balderson and her daugh-
ter, Olive Jane, returned from Portland
last Thursday evening to visit with
Mrs. Balderson's parents, Mr.. and Mrs
j. F. Samson. Mrs. Balderson has
just finished a course in stenography
but she states that there are so many
old and experienced stenographers and
bookkeepers out of employment at the
present time in Portland that it Is al
most impossible to secure a position in
that city. She states that there is O
vast number of unemployed in every
avenue of labor on the coast at the
present time owing to the closing
down of mills and factories and re-
trenchment on the part of employers
which is far from a pleasing OUTLOOK
at this season of the year.

TWO TICKETS NOMINATED.

1t is always safe bet that public
caucus for the nomination of town
officers will never satisfy everybody.
1t is inveritaby the case that some
enc viii have kick coming, no matter
who is- placed in nomination. # Is
humdn nature for different individuals
to have different views upon the avail
ability of candidates as views differ
from every angle of life and that ap-
plies to every phase of existence. Ad-
mitting that individuals with wings
are scarce in this immediate section
of the country. the statement may be
veptured that if an angel were to be
nominated for office at public cau-
Gus an element would be found that
would prefer someone without shoul-
der feathers. The caucus proceeding
the late municipal election was no ex-
ception to the rule. After the nomina-
tons were made in open meeting. to
which everybody was welcome, sec
ond ticket was placed in the field.
That added a touch of gayety to the
brief campaign that preceded the day
of election, AS all the men named on
both tickets were worthy citizen1 as a
matter of fact 1t would have made lit
tie difference no matter who was
elected

RUMMAGE SALE.

On account of failure of being in
formed of all the ramificati)ns Of the
Episcopal Guild bazaar that is to be
held Saturday afternoon in the Civic
League building we have heretofore
in notices mentioning the affair, rallied
to state that in conjunction with the
bazaar there will be ,rummage sale
which embraces second hand clothing,
shoes, and many other articles enter
ing into the house supply. Now, there
articles, while second hand will be in
an excellent state of preservation and
clean. Many of them have not been
wholly discarded by the contributors,
and could be made to do service for
some time, but they are turned over TO
the Guild to help out a worthy cause
People will be able to find remarkable
bargains by attending this "rummage
sale tomorrow.

POSTOFFICE REMOVAL. y

Postmaster Hoskyn will not get into
the new post office until the first of
the year. New Years day falls on Sat-
urday and he will utilize the .wo holi-
days, Saturday and Sunday to make
the change of base so that the bust
ness of the office will hardly be inter-
fered with during the change Of loca-
tons. The building will be ready for
occupancy before that date, but owing
to the congestion that is always to be
expected at Christmas time it would
be impossible to pull up stakes IN the
midst of that rush and make the move.
And mentioning the usual Christmas
rush it would be well for those who
are to send away presents and pack
ages to mail the same as early as pos
sible. thus relieving the post office
force as far as possible of the extra
strain that always is to be expected
during the holidays.
