LATE CATHOLIC MISSION.

The following item was received at
this office too late for the issue OF
last week:
"A Mission held on October 29tn and
extending to November 5th, 1922, In
the church of the Immaculate Con-
ceptiOn, Oroville, was attended with
marked success.
"A veritable proof of the success
of the Mission is in the fact that many
came from far and near, not only peo-
pie from Oroville and vicinity, but al
so from British Columbia, to attend
the exercises and listen to series OF
interesting lectures given by the Re-
demptionist Father Of Occur d'Alene,
IrahO.
"The Very Rev Father Noldin re-
ports tnat IS confessions were heard,
and nearly 100 communions were dis
tributed during the holy days OF the
Mission.
Though the climax Of the Mission
came all too swiftly with the erection
of the Mission Cross on November D.
there still remains its happy recollec-
tions mingling with the anticipated
pleasure of a renewal Of the Mission
in 1928"

SHIELDS HIS WIFE.

A story of self-sacrifice on the part
of a husband for his wife comes down
out OF Nelson. 1t is one Of those rare
instances where one person assumes
crime to shield another. A woman en-
gagged in the millinery business at
Nelson missed number of articles,
but never could catch the pilferer. A
young girl happened to notice some
of the articles missed from the milli-
merry shop in the home Of a neighbor
The owner of the property sent for
Deputy Sheriff Weldon who swore out
a search warrant and upon investiga-
tion found the suspicioned neighbor
had in her possession a tub full of
plumes, feathers, ribbons, powders
and other mysteries that enter into a
womans toilet Before an arrest was
made this woman's husband pleaded
guilty Of having stole the articles,
which was an impossibility unless he
had broken into the building, and a
burglary had never been committed.
The original charge against the shop
litter, who is said to be a klepto-
maniac, was grand larceny. Under that
charge the husband would have had
to gone to the penitentiary, but the
charge was reduced to petit larceny
and the judge fined the self accused
prisoner 500 and costs.

Recently dancing has not been so
popular in this place as in former
years. Formerly all that was neces-
sary to draw crowd was to an
nounce that a dance was to take place
ana the room in which the dance was
heid, no matter how large, was gener-
ally fiiled. OF late public dances have
not attracted sufficient number of
patrons to pay expenses. 1t was Diff
terent however, last Friday evening
on the occasion of the dance given by
the American Legion boys. 1t looked
ike old times to see the crowd gather
ing On the floor and warming benches
About all who dance were out. with a
goodiy sprinkling Of those who do not
indulge in the exercise. The crowd
was tribute to the Legion, and the
receipts helped the boys to eliminate
some OF the Indebtedness that the
camp had contracted. All who were
there harvested their moneys worth
IN pleasure so everybody is satisfied.

ILL AT THE STATE COLLEGE.

Steve Macy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Steve Macy, Sr., of Ellemeham noun
tain, has been down with typhoid fe-
yer for some three weeks at Pullman.
Young Macy has been a student at
the State College for the past four
years, and this was his last year in
that institution, although his unfor-
tunate illness may set him back some
months. Mr.. Macy, Sr., was in town
from his ranch Monday and reported
the condition Of his son, and stated
that there had been 40 cases of ty-
phoid at the State College since it
opened this fall. The last word receiv-
ed from Pullman was to the effect
that his son was steadily improving.
In this connection it may be added
that We see by the Twisp News that
Mrs. w. S. Douglass, formerly of Loo
mis-, who is a most excellent nurse,
had been called to Pullman by the
illness of her son who is attending
the State College. He, also, was a vic
tim of typhoid.

SHOCKING
ACCIDENT
VIM. Mcdaniel Of Conconully, Sustains
Compound Fracture Of Left Arm
and Fracture OF Right Jaw.

VIM. Mcdaniel of Conconully, met
with shocking accident Monday even
ing by which he suffered compound
fracture Of the left arm between the
elbow and the shoulder, and a crushed
right Jaw, almost bleeding to death
before reaching medical assistance.
Mr.. Mcdaniel who is 81 years of age
and one Of the oldest pioneers of the
county. having located at Conconully
30 years ago, has been visiting with
his son, Archie, who lives in the valley
four miles north of Tonasket. Monday
he drove a team Of horses up to Mt.
Hull for the purpose of procuring a
load of logs for firew ood. While COM
ing down the grade in the evening the
bride Of one of the horses came off.
This frightened the animal and the
team ran away throwing Mr.. McDan-
lei violently to the ground. YYe does
no know whether or not the wagon
passed over him. The broken bone in
the arm protruded through the flesh
and had torn the ligiments and the
main artery and he bled frightfully.
In that condition Mr.. Mcdaniel walk
ed and crawled about a quarter of a
mile before coming to a house where
he could obtain help, although he had
met man on horseback who did not
offer aid, although he said that he
would catch the runaway horses, but
was never seen again. At the house
he managed to reach the family tele-
phoned to a neighbor for an auto and
he was finally conveled to the hospital
in this place, reaching here about 1880.
BY that time Mr.. Mcdaniel was COW
cred with blood and almost wholly ex-
hausted. DR.. Bevis tied up the artery,
checking the flow OF blood, making
the unfortunate man as comfort
able as possible under the circum-
stances. The doctor hoped to be able
to save the arm, but in the morning
the hand had become black and he
found 1t necessary to amputate the
arm just below the shoulder Besides
the broken arm Dr. Bevis found the
right Jaw so Shattered chat pieces of
the bone had to be removed and the
Jaw wired together.
AT last reports Mr.. Mcdaniel was
showing remarkable recuperative
power and the chances appeared to be
favorable for his recovery. Mrs. Nc
Daniel was brought to Oroville from
Conconully and she is in constant at
tendance upon her husband.

PREPARING FOR
SPRING CAMPAIGN
OrOville. .Okanogan Oh Company Has
Sufficient M0ny Pledged to Keep
Drill In Steady Operation.

The stockholders Of the Oroville-
Okanogan Oil company, that holds val
liable leases In the Cat Creek district,
are going after oil in dead earnest as
soon in the spring as the drill can
start. The report Of every expert who
has examined the ground, and many
experts have been on the land, is to the
effect that the company's drill Is To-
Gated in one of the most promising
sections of the Cat Creek oil zone, and
they predict that the well under way
will reach oil sand within 500 feet, and
that depth is as nothing in the matter
Of well drilling as compared with the
depth generally necessary to go In
order to strike oil. Few companies op-
Grating in the Cat Creek district, aside
from those already possessing flowing
wells, have such bright prospects as
the Qroville-Okanogan Oil company.
and 1t is within the bounds of possi-
bility, really almost certainty, that
ultimately the stockholders of the To-
cal company are to reap rich reward
from small investment. Since the
company commenced operations sever
|al residents of Oroville have made
trips into the district, and in every
Instance those who went forth to make
investigations returned home better
satisfied than ever that the company
has valuable properties and that every
indication holds out promise of an
ultimate producer.
At meeting of the stockholders
held during the past week a number
OF those present increased their sub
scriptions and with the money on hand
and that which is pledged the company
has sufficient funds at Its disposal to
drive the well to and beyond the 800
foot depth. In other words the sinews
nave been subscribed to send the drill
down to oil, and 1t will be but short
time after the work begins in the
spring until the company will prove
the ground upon which it is operating.

FIRE NEAR MOLSON.

Many were attracted Tuesday even
ing between 9 and 10 o'clock by very
bright light in the sky, to all appear
ances in the neighborhood Of Nelson.
It was feared that the Porter saw mill
or large part Of Nelson was on fire.
Word from Molson Wednesday stated
that the residence of Geo. Smith, near
Nelson, had been destroyed. Accord
ing to telephone report Mr.. Smith had
been to town and on his return start
ed fire in the stove with the help Of
coal oil. Some of the oil spilled on
the floor and in order to clean up the
mess Mr.. Smith very unwisely touch
ed match to the oil. Flames shooting
up stronger than he expected, Mr..
Smith attempted to extinguisl the
blaze by sweeping away the oil with
broom. This merely spread the fire
and Mr.. Smith was able to save only
his bed and tie clothes that he had

CHANGE In THE POSTOFFICE.

wednesday r. p. Hoskyn turned the
postoffice over to ais successor, ]. f.
Samson, and stepped down and out
after having held the office for six
years. In the matter Of close attention
and constant attendance Mr.. HOskyn
mas performed his duties with con-
scientious steadfastness. During the
six years Mr. Hoskyn has never taken
vacation, and has worked so steadily
as to endanger his health. He felt the
responsibilities of the position he held
and shOuldered those responsibilities
with the aim Of doing the best he
could according to his lights. He has
been assisted by his wife, who has
aided in the conduct of the office
without pecuniary reward. During his
incumbency the business OF the office
has increased largely adding addi-
tional work to the general routine
but MIR. HOskyn has accepted the in
crease philOsOphically and buckled to
1t. AS has been stated before in these
columns the arrival and departure of
trains Is so arranged as to require
much night work which is an addi-
tional burden to those having the Of
flee In charge, and tlat was strain
upon an official no longer in the hey
day Of life. No human being can con-
duct public office and satisfy every
one, and 1t speaks will for Mr.. HOskyn
that he retires to private life with the
good wishes Of large circle Of ac-
quaintances.
The new postmaster, J. F. Samson.
is not novice in the office, as he
held the same position in Oroville for
a number Of years in early days. His
! name was presented for the office to
the postal department soon after the
new administration came into power,
when no other candidates were in the
lists, and he had the endorsement Of
the representatives in congress at the
time. 1t has not been the policy Of the
department to make immediate
changes in postoffices, and hence the
incumbent was permitted to remain
in office for two years beyond the ex-
piration Of his term. Mr.. Hoskyn cour-
teously devoted some days before
turning over the office to posting Mr..
Samson upon the intricate work OF
the office under the present system
and regulations. for there was much
to learn. as the office is larger than
when Mr.. Samson formerly conduct
ed It and there is considerable more
detail. 1t is understood that there is to
be no change in the force, and the al
ways accommodating deputy. c. j.
Casad, will continue on the job.

VISITOR FROM KENTUCKY.

Jas. S. Shaw of Louisville, KY, was
a visitor in Oroville for two or three
days during the past week. Mr.. Shaw
was here looking after the estate of
the late Chas. r. Atkins, of whom ne
was a brQther-in-law. Mr.. Atkins liv-
ed in Oroville for some time. He was
first interested in the Four Metals
Mining company, but later purchased
40 acres of land on the east side of
Osoyoos lake, north of Oroville and
bordering on the international boun-
dary. Some two years ago Mr.. Atkins
went to California and soon after ar
irving in the south suffered an attack
of pneumonia and died in a few days.
Mr.. Shaw, as representing other men,
bers of the family came here to look
up the property and dispose of the
same.

ton for the appointment of post
master at, Oroville to be held at Okla
hogan on Saturday. December 8. The
competition is open to all WAC are
qualified under the terms of the an
nouncement. The most satisfactory
results are obtained when a large
number of APPLICANTS are filed by rep
resentative business men and women
of the community. This is not an ex-
animation under the civil service
act and rules, but is held under an
executive order of May 10,1921, pro-
viding for such procedure.

SHOULD BE REELECTED.

The next thing on the docket OF
great public interest will be the town
election, which takes place on Tues
day, December 8, and ii the population
runs true to form it is safe to predict
that there will be two tickets in the
field, no matter who may be nominat-
ed at tne public meeting to be held
TO place candidates in nomination. Ex-
perience of the past has demonstrated
time and again that people will take
part in one convention and then march
out from the hall and name candidates
to run in opposition to the regular
nominees. The right Of the disappoint-
ed in the first place to frame up oppo-
sition in the second place is not ques-
toned, that opposition always de-
velops against the regular -acminees
Is merely mentioned as an outstanding
fact at every municipal election leld
in Oroville.
Without any aim of influencing
electors one way or the other, II that
were possible, the Gazette desires at
this time to express hope that at
the forthcoming nominating conven-
tion, that is generally held a few days
before election, the meeting will unan-
imously name w. J. Frank as mayor
to succeed himself. MIR. Frank is MAX
ing no effort whatsoever to retain the
office, as there is nothing in It for
any man except criticism from those
no man could satisfy, and ne would
probably prefer that some one else
should shoulder the burden at this
time. During his tenure Of office Mr.
Frank has given much Of his time in
looking after the interests of the town.
Fortunately/he has the leisure time to
devote to civic affairs where a man
in active business could not give it
his undivided attention. Mr.. Frank is
interested and takes a pride in the
town and it has been ais aim to Sc
cure the best results at a minimum
cost to the taxpayers He has given
his personal attention to every i'm
provement that has been made during
his administration, and has watched
with Jealous eye work performed in
every department. 1t is a common ad-
age that no man Is always right, but
Mr.. Frank has been as near always
right during his administration as it is
within the provence of any one WAC
could have held the office. At the
present time the town is in a better
financial condition than when he as
sumed the reins of office, and the
same careful management for the next
two years would place Oroville upon
substantial footing. There is no call
to swap horses at this time and no
mistake will be made by retaining
Billy Frank in the office Of mayor.

FROM A THRILLING HURT.

Herb Silvernail is slowly beating
out a serious case of blood poisoning.
which was the result of a most trivial
pin prick. The puncture happened on
the 3lst OF October. Mr. Silverthorn
was out on the Princeton run in charge
OF the train. While going over a number
OF way billie he pricked the ball of the
thumb OF the left hand with a pin. At
the time he probably uttered an en-
phatic ejaculation but absolutely paid
no attention to the trifling hurt and
probably would never have thought
OF 1t again lad not his arm commenced
swelling within few hours. He has
been under Dr. Efner's charge since
the development of blood poisoning,
and it will be some time before the
poison is eradicated from his system.

The railroad authorities have grant,
ed apple growers of this locality the
privilege of storing their fruit In the
big Great Northern ice house. This is
an immense structure and solves the
problem of storage room for the big
crop that must await transportation
facilities. This concession on the part
of the railroad gives growers ample
warehouse accommodations About ev-
cry other building in town that can be
used for that purpose is now being
utilized, among them the big brick
garage and Scott's large garage.
There will be upward of 100 car loads
of apples awaiting shipment when the
crop is all harvested and warehoused,
