GROWERS MEETING, WENATCHEE

Saturday delegation from Oroville
composed of Earnest Riste, f. A. Teas
and Joe Robinson went to Wenatchee
TO attend called meeting of the apple
growers of the Wenatchee district, a
name that has been adopted to in
clude the Okanogan valley, and con-
tinuous smaller valleys where apples
are grown. Those who went from acre
] supposed that the meeting was for the
purpose of devising some means, if
such thing was possible, to secure
more cars to move the apple crop of
| the district that Is threatened with
| serious loss on account of the failure
of the Great Northern to supply
| sufficient number of cars to move the
| fruit to market. According to the
statement of Mr.. Robinson the meeting
was more for the purpose of enlist
ing pressure to bear to secure the
construction of a line south from
Wenatchee to connect with the Mill
| waukee system. The application for
| this road was denied by the public
service commission OF the state on
the grounds that the country to be
tapped by the proposed road was al
ready amply covered by transcon-
tiental line. Speakers at this We
natchee meeting urged growers to
combine in a demand for the southern
road, claiming that competing line
would insure better car service at a
time when large number of cars
were needed. and needed quickly, to
move the perishable crops of the We
natchee valley. While Mr.. Robinson
did not oppose the proposition he GER
tainly made strong point when he
asked what certainty there was that
the Milwaukee could furnish cars,
emphasizing the fact that Spokane had
five transcontinental lines, yet the
apple growers of the Spokane valley
faced heavy loss because cars could
not be obtained to move the crop.
Mr.. Robinson stated that little hopes
could be held out that the car short
age would be corrected soon, although
every effort was being made by the
western roads to gather cars east and
send them west. He stated that on his
trip down to Wenatcnee he noticed but
few refrigerator cars at the stations
along the way. One or two cars was
the limit at most of the stations ex-
cept at Entiat, where there seemed to
be twelve or fifteen.

HARD SHEDDING IN ALBERTA.

Mr.. and Mrs. T. K. Manley arrived
in town Monday from Alberta, and
expect to make Oroville their home,
for the present at least. The Manleys
have not a very pleasant recollection
of their experience in Alberta. Lured
to that north land by attractive litera-
ture issued by the Canadian Pacific
railroad they left Nebraska some
twelve years ago. Ten of these years
were spent on dry farm and two
years on irrigated land. They discov-
cred that life for a farmer in Alberta
was not as flowery as painted by a
transportation company out to get
settlers to fill up vacant land. During
the ten years they were dry farming
they harvested one good crop, and had
little better luck on irrigated lands.
Mrs. Manley states that il it had not
been for the thousand chickens she
raised every year they would never
have ben able to get out Of the coun-
try. Glad they were to get back to
the states, and they do not propose to
tie themselves up again in any locality
without ascertaining by close inves-
tigation that there is a better prospect
for a livelihood than was held out in
the dry farming game in Alberta.

A SUCCESSFUL MISSION,

The closing exercises of the Catholic
mission held here during the week
took place in the church building Sun
day evening and were very solemn and
impressive 1t was very happy end
ing Of one of the most successful
Catholic protracted meetings that has
ever taken place in Oroville both as to
the attendance and interest shown by
communicates, success due to the
energy and popularity of the resident
priest, Father Noldin. The men of the
parish took an active and leading part
in the erection of the Mission Cross.
Not only Catholics but also many 9TH
ers of different religious denomina-
tions attended the services of instruc-
tions. Besides residents of Oroville,
there were visitors present from To-
nasket, Okanogan and Loomis, and
even from British Columbia. About one
hundred communions were distribut-
ed. Following the week devoted to the
mission Father Noldin left Monday
to attend the conference Of Deanery
held in Spokane Wednesday at the
home of the bishop.

LAID UP FROM BLOOD POISONING,

Fred Hart is laid up at the hospital
suffering from blood poisoning, and
for a time was in a pretty serious con-
dition. 1t appears that some time ago
he slashed the finger of his left hand
while cutting meat. but as that is a
common occurrence where he handles
sharp tools every day he paid no at
tention to the slight injury. He was
on duty Saturday but towards night
his arm commenced swelling and
pains were shooting up into his body.
DR.. Bevis was called and Mr.. Hart
was taken to the hospital for treat
ment At last reports the patient was
gradually improving, but II will be
some days before he can be back at
tending to his business.

EXTENSIVE MUTTON DEAL.

Gene Judd, the Tonasket cattle buy
er has been instrumental in putting
large amounts Of money into circula-
tion in the north part OF the county
during the past week. Mr.. Judd gen
orally confines his investments to
cattle and hogs, but his last plunge
has been sheep, and ne has gathered
in big bunch of them. That is, his
buying has been confined to sheep of
tender age, as all the mutton that he
has invested in has been lambs. His
largest purchase was from Victor
Lesamiz, a sheep man Of Riverside.
How many head he took over our in
formant was unable to say, but it must
nave been a large number as the
transaction represented $4,000. Mr..
Lesamiz is an experienced sheep
raiser. He has been in the business
for a number Of years and owns a
very large band. This $4,000 added to
a healthy sum received from his wool
clip puts Mr.. Lesamiz in a position to
face hard winter with good deal Of
complacence. In addition to this large
purchase Mr.. Judd took over 1O5 head
of lambs from Eugene Hockett and
some 700 from Harry Prince, Of Oro-
vile. Mr.. Judd will ship these lambs
direct to the Chicago market. In pass
ing it may be added tnat the sheep
industry that for a time suffered a
black eye from a heavy decline in the
price Of tle animals as we'll as in the
price of wool, is looking up with
a prospect Of higher prices continuing
to prevail for some time to come. This
is one industry that the tariff has ma
terially aided, as it has suffered from
the heavy importation of wool. With
better prices it is expected that more
people will turn their attention to
sheep raising in this county, where
the conditions are favorable for that
industry.

DEMOCRATIC
LANDSLIDE
Consolidated Vote Of the Three Orc.
Vile Precincts on All
Candidates.

Election passed off in Oroville SO
quietly that an outsider not familiar
with the American institution of vot-
ing would not have known that any
thing OF the kind was transpiring in
town. Probably hardly more than two
thirds Of the registered voters went to
the polls. The voting was very erratic
and very, very few straight tickets
were cast. The three precincts gave
total democratic majorities for the
head OF the ticket. and the voting for
county offices was irregular. although
most of the republican candidates re-
ceived majorities. The following is the
| consolidated vote Of the three pre-
cincts on the several offices, and for
the measure proposed:

From the returns from the election
so far received 1t looks very much as
though there has been land slide in
favor OF the democrats. 1t is a repeti-
ton of the sensational election result
of two years ago when the country
went hell bent for Harding. II will be
impossible to pick out the remains
from the debris of defeat until all the
returns are In.
In this state full republican con-
gressional delegation has been elected
but from all reports Senator Poindex-
ter has gone down to defeat by a mar
row margin. This was the surprise OF
the election.
The latest reports from the county
before going to press shows that the
entire republican county ticket was
elected excepting Brown, for the leg
islature, who is defeated by Baker.
Webster was 1000 in the lead. and
that lead Is impossible to overcome as
about all the returns are in from the
district.

Pixies Peak Glide
the Latest Step
(Bv United Pressl

Colorado Springs, Colo. = There's
at least one place in the United States
where the jazz dancers don't cavort
in the new and "peppy" steps.
1t isn't because there are any objec-
tions. But the dancers can't stand
the strain.
Up on the summit Of Pixies Peak,
the old-fashioned waltzes are the most
popular among the dancers. When
one exercises violently at an altitude
of 14,10S feet the thin air soon puts
an end to the activity. Mountain
sickness results.
The Pixies Peak toddle is an inven-
ton of the upper regions" It's a
slow, graceful dance net calculated to
shorten the breath unduly.
At that, however, sitting out is
mighty popular-with the moon and

RAID SALOON OF
MRS. HORNACEK
Another Woman Saloon
keeper Found to Have
Moon at Premises.
FINED $lOO AND COSTS

Another woman saloonkeeper was
raided last Saturday afternoon when
the sponge squad, led by officer Harold
Rock, paid raiding visit at the prem
Uses of Barbara Hornacek, "a Milwau-
kee avenue. With Rock were Officers
George O'Hare, Riley, Torboss and
Monroe. In the kitchen, sacred hither-
to to nutmeg and sage and the prepare
ton Of three meals a day, the raiding
officers found two bottles of moonshine.
Mrs. Hornacek is the wife of Stephen
Hornacek, one of the several Kenosha
saloonkeepers who are serving time in
the house of correction at Milwaukee
for unlawful sale of intoxicating Ii
quor. She applied for permit to con-
duct a place herself under a Glass
permit, and the city council, while it
did not particularly smile on the idea
of granting saloon permits to women,
granted her one, together with permits
to several other women under similar
circum stances.
Barbara Hornacek is the second of
these women saloonkeepers to be found
with moonshine in possession and it
is expected that the next step will be
the revocation of the license and the
closing of the place. The case against
Elizabeth Bergeson, presumably the
proprietor of Farmer Joe's place on
the Burlington road, the first woman
to be found with moonshine on the
premises after permit was granted in
her name, is still pending. Mrs. Ber-
geson pleaded not guilty, waived pre-
liminary hearing and was bound over
for trial until the next jury term of
the municipal court. @3te
Mrs. Hornacek Pleads Guilty.
When arraigned this morning before
Judge Slater in the municipal court on
the charge of having moonshine in pos
session, Mrs. Hornacek pleaded guilty
She was fined 500 and costs on the
recommendation of the district attor-
ney's Office, this being the minimum
fine which it is possible for the court
to impose on plea of guilty.

that she must discontinue the sale of

OFFICIAL COUNT
CONFIRMS VOTE
Official Canvass of Votes
Cast at Primary Com
pleted Friday.
NO ADDED NAMES
Writtan In Candidates Fail to
Get Votes Enough to Get
On November Ballot.

The Official canvas of the ballots cast
at the primary election on Tuesday
was completed by the county can
wasting board on Friday afternoon and
while no change was made in any of
the results of the primary there were
some slight changes in the figures on
the vote for the various candidates.
The official canvas brought to light
the fact that Andrew Anderson did not
receive a sufficient number of votes
for the Democratic nomination for
member of the assembly to have his
name placed on the regular Democratic
ticket. 1t also showed that T. J. Loef,
Democratic candidate for the office of
county clerk, failed to get anywhere
near enough votes to get on the ticket.
Loef had twenty-three votes in the
county and it would have taken at least
sixty-one for him to be placed on the
ballot as written in candidate.
No Socialists or PrOhibitionists.
The almost complete collapse of the
Socialist and Prohibition parties in
Kenosha county was shown by the Of
fetal figures. But one hundred and
twenty-six Socialist votes were cast in
the entire county and many of the
voting precincts did not return sin
gle Socialist vote. The Prohibition
vote in the county also dropped to- its
lowest figure and the largest number
of votes received by any candidate on
the Prohibition ticket was nineteen.
The following is the vote cast for
the various candidates on all tickets
as shown by the official canvas:
DEMOCRATIC.
