DOROTHY EFNER WINS DOLL.

At the commencement of the holiday
season, the Oroville Commercial Com
pany conceived the idea of offering a
big prize doll to the most popular
young lady in Oroville. They sent out
to Seattle and had shipped in the
largest and best constructed doll that
could be had for the purpose and
placed it on display in the big north
window. This doll was tne Mecca Of
practically all the children in town for
days, and the contest soon grew hot
and heavy. Some one proposed the
name of Miss Dorothy Elmer, the al
together loveable little daughter Of
DR.. and Mrs. Elmer, for the prize, and
the suggestion took immediate hold of
the fancies of the patrons Of tle big
store At the final count of the votes
it was found that Miss Dorothy had
won by 47O votes. The young lady was
brought to the store and Mrs. Charles
Powell, Sr., selected from the stock in
the store all the numerous articles
that goes to make up the wardrobe of
"a super-dolly of this character, and
when finally arrayed for presentation
to the little miss, the doll was a thing
of beauty. The little lady received the
prize with more than multitude Of
admiring little friends standing
around, and her pent up emotions was
evidenced by a single tear and quiver-
ing lips. There is nobody in all Of
Oroville the population in general
would rather have seen win this
beautiful prize than the one who did
win it. and for once everybody was
pleased and satisfied.

CHOPAKA XMAS CELEBRATION.

Sunday was big day for the young
folks-and don't think the older ones
were out Of it by any means-of the
Chopaka community. The Sunday
school was all decorated up with a
big tree and all the trimmings, thanks
to the work of Tnurlow Adair and
also the teacher of the school, Miss
Michner Mr.. Adair spent a whole day
riding from one end of the valley to
the other, collecting funds to buy can
dy and nuts and oranges, and 1t didn't
look as though there was anything
missing, to make it real Christmas.
The teacher had planned and car
ried out a community dinner at the
school. which was attended by quite
a crowd of the nearby folks. This was
at 1870 in the afternoon. Then Just
about the time everybody was refus-
ing cake for the third time, a mighty
hammering was heard at the door, and
in came Santa Claus. He must have
come down off the mountain, for he
had on a heavy fur overcoat. He said
he hadn't been told tnat we hau hau
a chinook in this country. He'd had to
leave his rein deer away up the noun
tain and walk tle rest of the way.
which explained why he was so out OF
puff. There were so many presents on
the tree and around it and under 1t
that poor Santa Claus nearly died be-
fore he got out of there. Afterwards
there was a Christmas service OF the
Holy Communion, with Rev. Mr.. Gray
of Oroville officiating. This closed the
Christmas celebration. Some people
were heard to remark that it was the
biggest crowd that had been gathered
together in the valley for long time
There were fifty people in attendance
We are sure going to repeat 1t nex'
Christmas.

PIONEER PASSES AWAY.

Died-Frances Brown Driscoll, age
SO years, 8 months and 3 days, Friday
December %, 1922, at the home of c.
J. Casad, in this city.
With the death of Mrs. Driscoll, an
other Of the old pioneers Of Okanogan
county has passed to the great beyond.
She was born in ireland on March 10,
1888 and came to Okanogan county in
the spring of 1886 as the wife of
Daniel J. Driscoll, about one OF the
first pioneers to locate in the valley
of the Okanogan. Mr.. Driscoll died in
1905.
Mrs. Driscoll had no relatives in
this country, but her warm hearted
and loving friends were counted by
the scores. She was we'll known by all
old timers and in the early day was
known far and wide for her loveable
character and generous nature. For
the past sixteen months the old lady
has practically been helpless, although
memory and faculties were as bright
as ever almost up to the hour of her
demise. During this period or the past
sixteen months she has been taken
care of at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
C. ]. Casad, Mrs. Casad giving the
aged lady every attention. Friday last
she complained of not feeling very we'll
and the first thing the family knew
the old pioneer had fallen asleep,
never to awaken again on this earth.
Special services were held for the de-
parted at the Catholic church Sunday
andS interement was made in the In
dian Mission church grounds at Ellis
forde, where the famiry have their
burial lots. The funeral arrangements
were all made by Mr.. and Mrs, Briley,
old time friends of the deceased and
every attention was given them, Under
taker Barnes presiding

CLAIM ADJUSTED.

apple growers as class have about
as many things to contend with and
worry over as any other class of pro-
ducers that might be mentioned. From
one years end to another there il
Just one thing after another that may
spell ruin to the apple grower. The
winter may be too warm or too cold
the summer may be too cold or toe
dry; pests may take the crop; the
crop may arrive in the market In an
over ripe condition owing to delay in
transit and the returns show a de-
ficit; the crop may be frozen in trans
1t and returns. If any, made in the
shape of railroad claim for damage
which is to say the least, not a source
OF satisfaction to the grower.
Occasionally, however, this order ia
reversed and those concerned are
treated to pleasant surprise which
Is the source of grand and glorious
feeling because 1t is surprise.
On September 2Sth of this year q
Great Northern car was loaded with
extra fancy and fancy Jonathan ap-
Piles by Clark and CRUDE for Harry
Irwin, Clifford Anderson and w. H.
Tnayer and consigned to Smith &
Holden, New York. For some diiex-
planned reason this car was destroyed
by fire at Janis Spur, just below To-
nasket, September 3Oth. While the loss
was total, it was generally conceded
that it would be months before a set
tlement would be made by the railroad
company. However, Smith & Holden
to whom the apples were consigned,
section for doing the right thing at
the right time handled the claim in
such manner that the results were
a source of great satisfaction to all
those concerned.
No claim was filed until the day the
car would have arrived in New York
when it was filed for an amount equal
to the price the apples would have
brought on the New York market that
day. The claim went through without
question or contest and the growers
received their checks few days ago
for what their apples would have
brought had they gone through with
out delay, all of which goes to show
tnat the claim was presented in such
manner as to leave no ground for
question or contest, and II there is
any question as to whether or not the
settlement was satisfactory, all one
needs to do is to observe the smile
that spreads over the countenances ol
those growers who had apples in the
car when the matter is mentioned te
them.

FOREST RANGERS WORK.

Quite frequently the question is ask
ed forest officers what they do in the
winter time.
One Of the Jobs that the forest
ranger has to do during the winter
months is to give his fire fighting
equipment thorough overhauling
and plan his organization for the next
season.
All axes that are servicable are
rehandled II necessary, sharpened, the
handles oiled. and strip of red paint
put on them to identify them as fire
tools. Shovels. mattox, hazel hoes,
picks. grub hoes and brush hooks are
treated thessame way.
The tools are then segregated into
groupes which are to make up two,
six ten or twelve man OUTFITS Esch
outfit is made up complete. including
mess equipment. The mess equipment
is the nesting type. complete and COM
pact. Each winter 1t is checked over
and any missing articles are supplied.
The utensils are cleaned, secured and
oiled with parafine oil to prevent
rusting. Each group Of articles is list
ed on "a form and when any article is
taken from the groupe it is noted on
the form. When group of tools . re-
turned from . fire ahsy are%chsck-
ed with the form and missing articles
are supplied.
A set of general instructions are
prepared for each position to be man
ned the next season. This instructions
cover the particular job that the man
in charge Of tne position has to DO.
II includes the kind and number OF
tools he shall take to fire, when he
can get additional tools to be used
where he can get additional help The
instructions also show the exact
amount OF telephone line he has to
maintain, the usual trouble to look for
on the line or telephone instrument,
the time that the line should be tested
each day and any other features OF the
work that form a part Of the protec-
ton organization. In other words the
inc of action is all planned and map
bed out II the man follows the plan
md then fails to accomplish what he
s sent to do, he is not blamed for the
allure. But any deviation from the
approved plan must be supported by
,ood and sufficient reasons.

CASE OF SHOP LIFTING.

The first real case of shop lifting
far as we know, occurred lere at the
OrOville Commercial Company's store
last Friday about the noon hour. The
party who undertook to deprive the
Commercial company of sundry and
various articles was Floyd Hill, a
farmer, living near Loomis Hill and
his wife came into town in the fore
noon, leaving their car parked. They
entered the store before noon but did
not attempt to make any purchases
dinner and only couple of young la
dies were left on duty. From the mans
actions these young ladies had their
suspicious aroused and when Manager
Powell arrived from lunch his atten-
ton was called to the matter. He
contented himself with taking van
tage point wnere he could see and
not be seen, and it was not long until
he spotted Hill pull off a slight-of-hand
stunt and high priced leather vest
Weldon was called and Hills car was
Investigated, with the result that a
large amount of lifted goods was dis
covered. Hill was taken into custody
by Marshal Weldon but the pleadings
, Of Hill was so strenuous, and Manager
Powell being rather sympathetic for
the mans family, he refused to prose-
cute further than to take the case
before Judge Beal, who fined Hill
the minimum amount of $1O50. Man.
ager Powell in coming to this decision
took into consideration the stigma
that prosecution would place on the
family Of the man, and decided that
this might be lesson to Hill that he
would not forget for time, at least.

CHOIR GOES CAROL.sINGING.

Did you hear the singing Christmas
Eve between nine o'clock and ten
thirty or SO? The choir, together
with quite crowd of other young
people) of Trinity Episcopal Church
went pretty much all over town and
sang carols as they went. This is a
very ancient custom in most chris
tian countries and 1t is hoped that it
will become regular annual affair
here. 1t would be fine thing If all
the choirs of town could get to gether
and go carolling on Christmas Eve.
There are lots Of shut-ins and sick
people, both in homes and in the hos
pital, who are made happy by the
sound Of Christmas singing on the
Eve Of His birthday.
