A GOOD STORY ANY HOW.

1t is alleged, but upon what author
ity We do not know, that there exists,
or has existed, a systematic under
ground liquor route u of Canada,
through Oroville and on to Spokane
over which a very large quantity of
liquor has slipped through to quench
the thirst of the suffering booze
hounds of the metropolis of the Inland
Empire. The plan as explained on the
q. t. to the writer is to carry the con-
traband stuff through by relays, there
being representatives of the syndicate
in waiting at different towns to shove
the shipment along by auto. The liquor
comes in in case lots, so it can be cas-
lily handled. 1t is announced that one
clever manipulation has cleared up
$4,000 by this system of smuggling.
OF course no tangible evidence exists
that this story has any foundation, but
it is such an interesting M even il
manufactured, that it Is worth repeat
ing. Even if liquor is not struggled
through in wholesale lots there is
plenty of evidence around here every
week that some one is engaged in the
unlawful practice of running in wet
goods, and the practice is going to
continue until the guilty parties are
apprehended.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

T. T. Taylor, local orchardist, met
with a fatal accident at the Cubbage
sawmill east of Riverside = Monday
afternoon while hauling lumber out to
a point where it could be brought to
town by an auto truck.
Having only a short distance to go
with his load, Mr.. Taylor. evidently
thought it unnecessary to bind the
lumber to the wagon and in going
down a steep incline the load slipped
forward onto the horses throwing Mr..
Taylor to the ground.
One leg was fractured and internal
injuries sustained of a fatal nature.
Messrs Jesse Vowel and Perry Sadd-
Ter rushed the injured mar to the
home of DR.. L. @. S%paulding as rapidly
rs possible and in a desperate effort
to ave the fast ebbing life the doctor
took the patient to the nearest hospital
at Riverside and called DR.. H. M.
Fryer in Consultation, but very little
could be done and life passed from the
body very soon after the arrival at the
hospital.-Omak Chronicle.

FIND PUBLIC FOR
IN~TERCHURCH Plan
Pastors of Various Denomina.
tons Pleased BY County
Conferences.

The county I%nterchurch conferences
held throughout the Inland Empire
between April 6 and 16 were so large
ly attended hat in many cases the
churches engaged for the meetings
were not large enough to accommodate
the crowd.
Explanatory addresses. some illus
trated by charts and lantern pictures,
provided a mass of Information about
the Interchurch World Movement: and
the pastors and laymen who attended
represented virtually every Protestant
church in the Inland Empire.
That public sentiment is decidedly
in favor OF the I%nterchurch movement,
was the opinion Of leaders of the group
Of speakers who had in charge the
various county conferences.
There was not a note of ~dissension
anywhere" said the Rev. j. e. Smith,
pastor of the First Baptist church. Spo-
kane. THE young peoples meetings
were remarkably well attended. The
people Of the Inland Empire are keenly
interested in. the Interchurch move
ment and our only considerable OBJ
stacle Is a lack of adequate informa-
ton. The time has come for church
partnership in place Of rivalry"
Biggest Thing Since Reformation"
III the Interchurch plans are carried
through. this will be the biggest thing
in the Protestant church since Luther's
Reformation" said Rev. George W..
Knepper, pastor of the Central Chris
tian church, Spokane. For the first
time In history the Protestant church
has N adequate sense Of it's task and
has definitely planned an adequate
campaign to meet the need. This CO.
operation will not only stir the local
churches to their very depths, but will
bring forth an outpouring of life and
money that will bless every needy
field of the work. God Is on the
move, we must go with him or go
under"
II am impressed by the cooperative
efforts shown by the conference" said
]. G. Eldridge, dean of the University
of Idaho faculty, Moscow, Idaho. THE
lnterchurch Is q movement forced on
the churches by the world situation,
and the same need for joint activity
applies to the Inland Empire"
"Brings New Vision"
There is no doubt but that the
Interchurch is bringing a vision which
will mean a new day for the religious
life Of the Inland Empire" said the
Rev. H. o. Perry, pastor Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Moscow,
Idaho. 1T surely brings a challenge
to Professionalism when it IL proposed
to sit down together in every county
and work out together an adequate
program for that county. The confer.
ence has carried us a long way to-
ward the goal, and there is undoubted-
ly q great revival coming to US ALL"

IN SECOND PLACE.

r The result Of the shoot Sunday
placed Oroville in second place in the
Inland Empire trap shooting tourna-
ment staged by the Spokane Spokes-
man-keview, in which Is clubs are
taking part. There was much depend
ent upon how the boys handled their
guns Sunday as Oroville was shooting
shooting off two ties, one with Colfax-
Palouse and one with Lewiston-Pom-
eroy, the two strongest and leading
teams taking part in the contest. The
home team was equal to the test, and
although winning against Wallace,
that scored only 70, and Colfax-Pa-
louise, that scored 70, it is still tied up
with Lewiston-Pomeroy which has got
ten into such a habit of going straight
that it seems impossible to head them
Oft. In the IL contests that lewiston
Pomeroy has taken part in the team has
won nine, lost one and tied two. Col
f~ax-Palouse has won nine and lost
three. Oroville has won nine, lost three
and tied one. Oroville is dividing hon
ors with Colfax-Palouse for second
place, and nov that the boys have hit
their stride there will be no backslid-
ing toward the foot of the column.
There was a better attendance at
the traps Sunday than usual, and the
best general record was made by ali
shooters than at any other shoot since
the tournament opened. The day was
cloudy, but there was no wind and
conditions were excellent for hooking
the eye on the flying targets. Not con-
tent with the tournament shoot several
other tests were made on singles and
doubles and in every instance marks
men were showing better class. Four
OF the club went straight Sunday, and
three slipped up by only a single miss.
Reed, Lewis and Gjerde got in the 20
class, while Hedger came back where
he belongs. Take the entire score sheet
and all taking part did excellent shoot
ing. If they keep up the lick it will be
25 straight for several of the members

ment. The following is the record: M

APPRECIATED
COMMENDATIO

The country editor generally is the
recipient of jolts along the pathway OF
life from those who think they can rup
a paper better than the man who is
making a stagger at 1t. He is criticised
for his mistakes, the items he does not
publish and the items that he does
publish, and there is very little health
in him in the eyes of the average cit
izen who makes no mistakes himself,
or herself, and that Is the preponder-
ating majority. When a man has been
at the business so years or more his
skin gets a trifle tough and the har-
poon does not penetrate to a great
depth, but still he cannot fail to feel
the scratch when Bill Jones or Tom
Smith, or Pete Somebody Else while
enjoying immunity from error cackles
over the fact that some word that the
editor has probably spelled correctly
a million times appears in print Imply
rut together. But those are the thOrns
scattered along the highway the bu-
collie print has to tread. Occasionally
a flower is substituted for the thorn,
a rainbow spans the cloudy horizon
of the prints life, and those flowers
and -rainbows are appreciated because
of their in%frequency. A blossom came
along this way with the last mail, and
we are going to let our readers take a
whiff at it, not because 1t is an ex-
preston OF thanks to the Gazette for
complimenting a worthy lot of people,
however, but to give the residents of
the town and valley some little idea
of the hardships faced by an industri-
Gus, frugal and thrifty people while
engaged in retaining a desert region
which is in time going to become one
of the most productive sections of the
county:
Loomis, Wash, April IS. 1920.
Mr.. Frank M. Dallam,
Oroville Gazette, Oroville. Wash.
Dear Sir:-As community chairman
of the Farm Bureau, recently organiz-
ed on the Whitestone project, l wish
to record the appreciation of the peo-
pie of this community for your article
in your issue of April 9th, under the
heading of THE Alchemy of Water"
The majority of our small settle
ment feel a pride in the accomplish
ment which you have so praised. Since
! am not one of the pioneers l can
without egotism say that the courage,
self-denial and industry of the people
of the project has been worthy of the
praise which o gave. Many of the
people arrived here penniless and
without any household equipment or
farming machinery or live stock. In the
short time they have been here they
have conquered the sage brush, ac-
quired modest homes, good tools and
excellent livestock. The recent impor-
tation of a car load of registered dairy
cattle marked a new stage in the COM
munity development.
Such hardships these pioneers
have undergone are largely unnoticed
by the average passer-by. Recognition
of their achievements have been
scarce. 1t is therefore with the great
est thanks and appreciation that we
have noticed your article. 1t will act
as an encouragement to further effort
and development.
Very truly yours,
JAY MORRISON.

CHURCH INEFFIClENCY ,

In one Eastern Washington
village there are 1900 people.
There are 10 Protestant church
and s resident ministers. On
the membership rolls Of these
churches are 1857 names, IS per
cent of the entire population.
In Eastern Washington there
is a county with a population
Of 800. 1t has only 4 churches,
only one resident minister and
only 3 per cent OF the people
in the county are church mem
bers.
; 1t is estimated that the
churches in the village, with L.
) 500 people, are spending three
|, times as much as the churches
! in this county with nearly three
