OROVILLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY. DE
CHANGE IN HANDLING THE NAIL

postmaster Samson has made q
change in the method and manner of
handling mails that will relieve As
sistant Postmaster Casad of some of
the hardships that he has had to up-
dergo under the system in vogue in
the past, for which no one was to
blame, as special permit had to be
secured in order to make the proposed
change. Owing to the train schedule
by which all trains arrive at night and
leave early in the morning it has been
almost physical impossibility to
handle mails within reasonable hours.
and Mr.. Casad has had to put in about
20 hours out Of ever day, managing to
secure a snatch Of sleep Sundays.
Besides the inconvenience to the post
office force it is almost impossible
always to get mails properly assorted
FOR outgoing trains. 1t has been the
custom to have the late night mail
from the south brought to the post
office at about.5 o'clock in the morn
ing, and as the outgoing mail must be
made up before the trairns leave at s
and GAS in the morning it keeps the
force humping to make connections,
and connections cannot always be de-
pended upon. Under the new order
of things the mail will be delivered at
the postoffice at midnight and the
assistant will be on duty from that
hour until Z a. m. BY that means the
mail will all be distributed and made
up before the trains depart in the
morning and the assistant will have a
chance to rest and to get acquainted
with his family.

GOOD WORD FOR THE DISTRICT

Recently Ernest Riste Of this place
and Matt Pioken. OF Tonasket, were
IN Seattle and the Seattle Spirit thus
mentions their presence in that city:
M. ". Picken. director and &. Riste,
secretary OF the West Okanogan Val
ley Irrigation district report to the
Chamber that a larger value in crops
has been realized during the last three
years in that section than the original
cost of the irrigation project, which
was $650,000.
The larger holdings are being split
up into smaller units" said Mr.. Pick
ems. due to the decided increase in
settlement. Our crops have been more
abundant than ever before
The Whitestone Irrigation project,
adjacent to the West Okanogan sys-
TEN, is being built under the supervis-
ion of the state. Contracts were let
this week for two million feet of lum-
ber for fumes and an additional mill
ion feet for other work. Part OF the
necessary water is available and the
supply will be complete by 1924 they
said.

NE. CHURCH NOTES.

The Aid Society will meet in the
Sunday Scnool room Tuesday. Decem-
ber 21st. A large attendance is desir-
ed. Come prepared to sew, because of
our urgent need.
1t has been decided that each mem
Der of our Sunday School, and all
others who may SO desire, make a
personal gift to some little inmate Of
the Washington Children's Home, the
gifts to be brought to the Christmas
exercises on the evening of the Gath.
There are 81 girls In the nome, rang
ing from 2 to 16 years Of age, and II
boys between the same ages. There
is not more worthy charity to be
assisted at any time than the inmates
of the Home and especially should
those unfortunate little ones be the
recipients of kindly remembrances at
Yule tide, when the spirit Of giving
prevails, or should prevail, among all
classes and all ages. A helping hand
should be extended by those outside
of the pale Of the church as we'll as
by the church people themselves.
There is nothing more satisfactory and
|comforting to a giver than bringing
| Joy to the young people at this season
|of the year, and as the occupants OF
the Home have no parents to look
after their welfare 1t Is duty for
those who can spare little OF their
worldly goods to make Christmas a
happy occasion for these orphans.

A FLYER IN APPLES.

Geo. Rae, our resident apple buyer,
who has operated largely in the Che
Ian district this fall, reports having
suddenly fallen heir to a large ship
ment of apples Friday last under
rather unusual circumstances. All
Pateros, like all other shipping points
on the Oroville-W Wenatchee branch this
season, 1t was found necessary to find
storage room anywhere where few
boxes Of apples could be packed away
in comparative safety against the
ravages If frost. One of the places of
storage secured at Pateros was the
large railroad ice house. The latter
part of last week the owners Of the
stored apples received word that the
Ice house would have to be vacated as
1t was necessary to get 1t ready for
its stock of ice. The building contain
ed 80 cars Of Winesap apples. Mr.. Rae
was approached and he made an offer
for the whole lot. That offer was ac-
cepted and now Mr.. Rae Is moving
with all the agility that man Of his
weight is capable Of exerting showing
shipments toward Chicago, where he
had the good fortune to unload.

BACK TO HIS OLD LOVE.

According to the Tonasket Times
George Bailey, who became initiated
into the mercantile business under
Ellis & Forde, in the old Washington
Commercial company at LOomis, later
accompanying the same firm to We
natchee, subsequently becoming con-
nected with Charlie Blackwell at
Riverside, from which place he was
promoted as manager Of the branch
store of that hustler at Tonasket, still
afterwards engaged in business at
Oroville on his own hook, is again
back to the scene OF his success as
storekeeper at Tonasket as partner
in new firm. This news 10 only con-
firming a rumor that was In the wind
fortnight ago.
1t appears that the stock Of goods
formerly ownedsby r. j.. Stone was
sold at sehriff's sale. Friday. whether
last Friday or the Friday before. is
not known, as the Times containing
the notice reached this office on the
9Th, although dated the 1st, showing
that the mail service between Tomas
ket and Oroville Is somewhat shatter-
ed, requiring as much time to convey
ing paper mail between the two places
only stones throw apart, as between
Oroville and New York. However, that
feature cuts no ice as to the organi-
zation Of the new mercantile firm
other than leaving doubt Just when
it happened. Anyhow, the stock OF
goods that so unfortunately had to
pass through the hands of the sheriff
was purchased by A. ]. Kendrick and
Mr.. Bailey has become associated with
Mr.. Kendrick in the ownership OF this
new merchandising enterprise.
In the days when Mr. Bailey was a
resident of Tonasket he was power
in that community in advocating and
pushing every project that had for Its
aim the growth Of the place. Mr.
Bailey is a good road enthusiast, and
the fact that so much public money
has been spent on roads leading into
and out of Tonasket is largely due tc
MIR. Bailey's activities. He was a wiz
ard in coping road moneys. There
is no reason to believe that Mr. Ball
ey has lost any of his ability as 8
booster and Tonasket is going to fee
the influence of his presence again
May he have better luck with his new
venture than he met with in Orovifl'
! is the wish of the Gazette.

1t is up to the various organizations
about town to see to it that no family
fails to enjoy some Christmas cheer.
1t is to be hoped that there is not a
family in town that needs outside as
sistance, but misfortune does come to
people and it is the unfortunate that
should. be remembered when the
Christmas spirit is rife in the land.
Up to the time of writing none Of the
apples in storage in .Oroville have
been damaged by cold weather, al
though apple owners have had to sit
up at nights keeping fires going to
guard against frost wherever apples
were stored. 1t has been lot of ex-
ira work, but it has paid to do the
extra work as the stock on hand is
still in prime condition.
Our stores are making a brave
showing Of Christmas goods this year
to the delight of the younger genera
ton. 1t seems as though there was a
larger variety to select from than
ever before. There are many articles
appropriate for older ones as we'll as
the youngsters, and there should be nc
difficulty this year in picking out
presents to suit everybody.
Orders were received at this station
Tuesday to receive no more cars ol
fruit This order was issued owing tt
excessive cold weather and blizzard'
in Montana and the railroad company
is fearful of a congestion of loaded
cars in the frigid belt with conse
quent loss of freight. The tie-up il
/ only of temporary nature and 1t i.
expected that within a very few days
apple shipments will again be rollin,
eastward.
Joe Rice. formely living in thi
county, and now located at Portland
writing to the Gazette, says: 1--WE hav
found that we cannot get along with
out your paper land orders 1t sent t.
his address. All those who formeri
lived in Oroville or vicinity seem gla
to receive the local paper as it I
very much like letter from home
only more so, as it carries more new
of the people once known than coul
be conveyed In letter.

BROKEN JAW SLOWLY MENDINGl

1t will be remembered that at tle
time VIM. Mcdaniel met with the SER
ious accident few weeks ago result
ing in the loss of an arm his right jaw
was at the same. time shattered. DR..
Bevis had to remove several slivers
of bone when the. wound was dressed
and wire the ends of the fractured jaw
together. Tuesday Dr.. Bevis made an
incision in the jaw to remove the wire
and found that it was necessary to
remove more pieces of bone. There
was very little Of the bone left to join
together and should it finally knit
Mr.. Daniels will have to favor that
side of his face and not use the jaw
for a nut cracker. Aside from the un-
certain condition of his face Mr.. Nc
Daniel is mending steadily.
