YES, most likely you have one, and
perhaps you are very well satisfied

You hear it every day. Try a DUNN.
1t drinks like camel-holds more

DISTRICT REDUCES LEVY.

The directors of the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation District at their last
meeting on October IL, fixed the as
sessment for the coming year. The to-
tai levy will be $500 per acre, which
is a reduction of $1.75 per acre from
the levy made year ago.
The board were all in favor of the
reduction, says the secretary, not be-
cause additional improvement work is
not needed, but they are confident that
careful management and nard work
will carry the project through the year
successfully with the lower levy. They
ask the active cooperation Of all land
owners in caring for the structures
and aid in holding down the expenses.
Improvement work to the amount
of approximately $4,000, was author
led, and work has begun on the
cementing and flume lining between
Oroville and Tonasket. g."
Budgets for operating expenses for
next year were not approved but were
laid over for future consideration. The
accounting for the past year mas not
been completed as many bills and ac-
counts are not in. The operating year
ends September 3Oth. Statement OF ex-
penses will be published as soon as
the bills are audited.

DEATH. OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY,

The sad news reached Oroville the
latter part Of last week that Mrs.
Marguerite Williams Martin had pass
ed away at the Deaconess hospital,
Spokane, on Monday, October 8, after
lingering illness OF several months.
The deceased leaves husband, w. A.
Martin Of Spokane, son four years
of age, one sister, Mrs. E. B. Grinnell,
of Tonasket, and one brother. ROLAND
Williams, of Seattle. All of these rela-
tives were at the bedside at the time
of DEATH
The deceased as Miss Marguerite
Williams was at one time resident of
Oroville where she had many friends.
She was woman of pure christian
character, loving mother and de-
voted wife. Her sweet, yet woomanly
disposition endeared her to all who
had the pleasure Of her acquaintance,
and the bright promise of her girllood
was realized in a lovable character
in her more mature years. Cut down in
the flower of her womanhood, her un-
timely death will be deplored and
deeply regretted by all who enjoyed
the privilege of knowing her. The SYM
pathy of the friends and acquaintances
Of the family is extended in this .lour
Of their deep affliction.

TOWN, LOSES POPULAR CITIZEN.

Il. s. Taylor left Monday for Lewis
ton, Idaho, where he expects to make
his future home, having accepted a
position with the Tyler Manufacturing
company Of st. Louis. He will act as
representative of the company at
his new Idaho home. Mrs. Taylor and
children will remain in Oroville un-
til Mr.. Taylor secures home for them
in their new location. With tle de-
parture Of the Taylor family Oroville
loses two Of its most popular and de-
sirable citizens. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
have been residents of Oroville for a
number Of years, and during the past
several years Mr. Taylor has held a
responsible position with the Oroville
Commercial company. 1t is with feel
ings OF keen and sincere regret that
the Gazette chronicles the removal of
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, as their going
leaves vacancy in the social ranks
of this place that it will be hard to
fill. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are
charming and. universally popular
members Of the younger married set
of Oroville, and among their intimate
acquaintances their departure Will be
like the breaking of family ties. They
have been active participants in
church, civic and social affairs, the
community has been better for their
presence and they will take away with
them the kindest wishes for their fu-
ture welfare of host of warm friends.
Were 1t not that the change holds out
bright and advantageous prospects for
the gentleman the Gazette would pro-
test against the step Mr.. Taylor has
taken, even If the protest would effect
no change in his purpose, but as it is
this paper trusts that tne young gen.
tleman will realize all his expectations
and that the family will find their new
home pleasant and satisfactory one.

ASKS PENSION IN OLD AGE.

p. G. Hobbs, of Colville, who has
made OrOville for number of years
selling honey, was in town for several
days during the past week disposing
of the product Of the bee. MIR. Hobbs is
now past rs years Of age and he says
that this is his last trip as salesman.
1t might be added that Mr.. Hobbs is
a civil war. veteran, having served in
the 1st Missouri cavalry for two years
His case as refers to pensions is such
an unusal one that 1t is worthy OF
mention. He has never applied for a
pension. He says so long as he was
well he could earn his own living and
did not feel that he was entitled to
aid from the government. Last week
he met Senator Poindexter and his
case was explained to that gentleman
Mr.. Poindexter promised that he would
present his case before the senate and
felt certain that pension would be
granted Mr.. Hobbs will now accept
government aid as he has reached ar
age when he can no longer work.

we're some eighteen visitors from To

held and the ladies of the Eastern

FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Senator Polndexter Speaks In Oroyille
Tuesday Evening to q Crowded
House,

Two political meetings were prom
ised this week, Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings, but In some manner the
wires got crossed and only one date
was filled. that of Tuesday evening
when Senator Poindexter addressed
a large and appreciative audience in
the Liberty Theater.
The publisher of the Gazette takes
the responsibility of balling up Hon
]. Stanley Webster's date, and while
we regret the Disappointment of those
who came to Oroville Wednesday
evening expecting to hear Mr.. Web
ster speak the error was a natural
one. When Mr.. Websters itinery was
first made public he was billed to
speak in Oroville on October II. We
wrote to Mr.. Webster explaining that
deanery was to be held in OrOville
on that evening and it would be wise
II he could possibly change the Oro-
Vile date. AS 1t is customary with his
enemies to put wrong construction
on anything that Mr.. Webster does, 1t
was felt that il he attempted to get up
a counter attraction at the time Of a
religious meeing it would be used
against him, so his Oroville date was
cancelled. We understood from the
letter that Mr.. Webster would speak
at Tonasket on the evening Of October
IL aud in Orovills- on the evening of
October IS. Instead of that arrange
ment Mr.. Webster was switched to
Omak for Wednesday evening. Not
being informed of the change this Of
flee got out bills for Wednesday
evening meeting. Mr.. Webster can in
no wise be held responsible for his
failure to appear in OrOville at the
time he was advertised to appear. So
mucl for that.
Senator Poindexter's itinery was
made by the republican state commit
tee and he was billed for OrOville on
Tuesday evening. His coming did not
detract an iota from the Deanery
meeting, and the Deanery meeting did
not detract from Mr.. Poindexter's raj
ly. A very large crowd turned out to
uCdI tuc oCAdlOI anu AAo ouuA CoS W dn
listened to closely throughout. The
senator is pleasing and convincing
talker and he was at his best Tuesday
evening. He naturally defended him.
self against the numerous charges
that have been made against him by
his political opponents, charges OF
which there are no foundation in fact
or made upon trivial grounds. but
what must be expected from political
opponents, no matter what an effice
holders record may have been, for
criticism and deunciation are the un.
pleasant features of politics. He innu-
merated the beneficial enactments OF
the present administration, defended
tn tariff, which will work greatly tC
the benefit of the various interests II
this state and showed where in his
voice and vote had always been In
favor of such measures that promised
the greatest good to the greatest mum.
ber. Senator Poindexter made an ex.
cellent impression upon his audience
and his visit to OkanOgan county will
result in insuring him large major
ity in November.

SHERIFF WILSON'S FINE RECORD.

1t has been the custom In t;1is conn.
ty AZ far back as the memory of man
runneth to re-elect the sheriff for the
second term In every instance where
that officer has conducted the affairs
10 the satisfaction OF the public, This
custom should be continued In the
case OF our present sheriff, Eli Wilson.
Not altogether because of a well es-
taDiisned custom, but because in all
the annals Of the county there has
never been better sheriff, a more
fearless sheriff, a more incorruptible
sheriff than the man who Is filling the
office today. We can say this without
rear OF successful contradiction, We
can say this because the records will
| bear out the declaration, we can say
this because the fact Is common
knowledge among every law abiding
citizen Of the county. Outside of the
fact that politics will influence the
votes of some people there is no oppo-
sition to Mr.. Wilson outside of small
circle Of law breakers who have found
him inexOrable in the performance OF
his duties. 1t IL understood that that
class Is working against him, although
1t would be poor. commentary upon
the justice and intelligence OF the cit !.
izens as whole II that class has any
influence In tae matter OF vote get
ting.
Mr. Wilson has served diring one
of the most trying periods N the an
nails Of crime In this country. 1t has
been time when the bootlegger, the
mO0nshiner, the breaker Of the Vol
stead law has flourished. The law is
unpopular among strong minority.
and even the law abiding citizen Is
inclined to look upon itn infringement
with Indifference. But It Is the law Of
the land and must be enforced. Every
peace officer living up to his oath a.
office is endeavoring to suppress the
strxffjc. shame be 1t said. too many
officers with an itching palm are
either half hearted In the performant e
Of their duty, or are guilty of accept .
ing bribes from that class of offenders.
1t reflects credit upon Okanogan coun-
ty that Sheriff Wilson has a reputa-
ton among rum runners of being be-
yond a price, and among the higher
officials Of the state Mr.. Wilson's in
corruptible record is pointed out as
one worthy of emulation among all
peace officers. All engaged in the con
traband traffic throughout this county
have not been apprehended, because
that would be an impossibility, but
few have escaped the vigilance Of the
sheriffs office where apprehension
was within the bounds Of possibility.
At one time Okanogan county was a
great highway for the bootlegger's
trade, but so many have come to griet
through Mr.. Wilson's activities that
they are now stunning tais route as a
road leading to their downfall. II for
no other single reason Mr.. Wilson
should be rewarded by re election for
the record he has made In his con
stant and consistent warfare on the
nefarious liquor trade.
