cooperative Marketing or the
limiting Of the production are the on
ly remedies for the situation" said
Governor Sweet, II am not asking
you to limit production. No one he
lieyes that the country is producing
more than the world wants"
Cooperative marketing on the
methods used by other organised
business Is the solution that will giva
q fair profit without making 1t nec-
essary to limit production. We have
done everything to make the coop
erative program a success, and the
only thing that stands In the way Of
making 1t successful Is the farmer
who will not cooperate.
Governor Sweet declared that:
THE time is coming when the
farmer will regard as q scab the man

association"
Wage earners are getting more OUT
Of life than the farmers because they
have learned to act collectively.
1t Is up to the farmer to either
limit production or join the cooper.

will he obtain Just return for his
labors In the production Of what the
world must have to live.
The general public has been Dc.
ceived In thinking that the law Of
supply and demand Is responsible for
fixing price, according to the Cover

He explained. THE law Of supply
and demand affects price, but 1t Ia

CREATED A SENSATION.

Some months ago one Harry Miles,
or at least that was the name he gave
out, blew into Oroville on the wings
of the morning, or maybe, the wings
of the evening", and was soon installed
in shoe repairing shop. Using the
name he was at that time sailing un-
der Mr. Miles won the esteem of Mrs
Olson, which ripened into love and
the couple were married. A short time
after the ceremony the new Mrs.
Miles discovered that her husband
had been married before in Colorado
under the name of Herbert Wade, that
the other wife was still living and that
fair to Mr. Miles to state that he de-
clares that he understood that a di-
vorce had been granted his wife in
Colorado and that he is perfectly in
nOcent of any intention of committing
bigamy. But his ignorance of the facts
as they exist, If Ignorant, does not
clear his skirts OF having committed
crime in the eyes of the law. Ms.
Miles applied for divorce on the big
amy charge and the court entered a
decree.
So far so good. But when Miles
was notified of the divorce he very
foolishly wrote threatening letter to
his divorced wife. who resumed the
name of Olson Miles followed up the
letter by appearing on the scene at
t1n hnu toh hi,,o - i'll to-, VI, Il,
happened Saturday night and other
things happened instantly. Naturally
Mrs. Olson was thrown into a flutter,
as the press of recent months has
been full of murders where discarded
husbands have displayed their intense
love for lost wives through divorces
by slaughtering them. Mrs. Olson 8
flutter developed hysteria and she
suffered woefully Deputy Sheriff
Weldon was routed out of bed instan-
name, had broken no law the officer
could not make any arrest. He had
made no demonstration. Just the In
lection Of his mug on the premises
was sufficient to promote the commo-
ton that followed. However, Mrs
Olson at last swore out a warrant
charging Miles with bigamy. Weldon
was summoned again about o'clock
Sunday morning and Miles was placed
under duress. During Sunday Deputy
Sheriff McAuley and Prosecuting At
tornev O'Connor drove up from Okla
ta
the county seat where It Is probable
that he will be called upon to stand
trial for too much marrying.

Mr.. and Mrs. Loritz johnson and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Pein and two
young daughters, of Tonasket, were
guests at dinner Sunday of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Brown. The reunion was
largely in the nature of birthday
celebration. as Mr.. Johnsen's and Mr..
Browns natal day fell upon the same
date.
F. E. Teas, w. A. CRUDE, Fred Clark
and j. A. Blackler, representing the
local horticultural society, drove down
to Omak Wednesday to attend meet
ing of the county horticultural society
held at that place which Is evidence
that the local association is alive and
ready to cooperate with other units of
the county organization.
Tuesday Art Dempster had a mar
row escape while in the tunnel at the
Pyrarygrite mine. He was near an ore
shoot when a quantity of ore came
hurting down. In his haste to get out
of the way Mr.. Dempster struck the
side of the tunnel violently. cutting a
cash in his forehead and otherwise
marring his features. He came down
to Oroville and DR.. Bevis button
stitched the wound and he will prob
ably escape without scar.

THE MORNING AFTER.

Thursday last l.. P. Watson, Fred
Clark and Austin Watson and his
wife drove to Chelan for the purpose
of ascertaining to what extent tomato
plants could be obtained at the Che
Ian nursery, and were very much
pleased with the size and apparent
vigor of the plants. 1t was the morn
ing after the big dance here and the
Oroville travellers saw some rather
amusing sights among the numerous
travellers who were heading home
ward A mantle of charity will be
drawn over most of the cases but one
instance was too funny to pass up.
At Chelan our friends noticed one In
dividual, suffering from paralysis of
the legs, who two ladies were endeav
oring to steer into restaurant. The
gentleman's faculties were evidently
somewhat clouded, as he insisted that
the only place he would eat was at
the Hotel de Grubb AS our informant
hit the grit for home he could not say
If the person somewhat off on his
geography fed up at Chelan or post
poned dining until he could return to
Oroville.

OROVILLE Hi. vs. TONASKET HI.

The high school ball season was
opened here Friday last with a game
between pupils of the Tonasket and
Oroville nigh schools, and taken all
around 1t was the best game of ball
that has ever been played on the loc-
al school grounds. The attendance
was not what it should have been.
but those present were treated to q
close and exciting contest. Oroville
won through the inability Of the Wis
itors to solve Griffiths shoots, and 1t
was only owing to the pitching tlat
the results turned out as it did, for
when Tonasket player once reached
first base he could steal the other
sacks almost with impunity. When 1t
came to pitching, Jarvis, for Tomas
ket, is no slouch, for the home boys
found it difficult to connect at the
right time. After. the fourth inning
Oroville was unable to score and on
the other hand Tonasket did not get
a run across until the sixth.
The following was the lineup of
the teams: Oroville-Smith ID; Grit

ATTENTION CLAIM OWNERS.

The Northwest Mining convention
will be held at Spokane May %, to the
25th. There will be a great gathering
Of mining men from all over the cOun-
try and men interested in that i'm
potrant industry. First, second and
third prizes, and valuable prizes at
that, are offered for the best three dis
plays of ore from properties that
have not yet become regular shippers.
There is where claim holders In this
locality can get In with excellent
chances of gathering in some Of the
prizes. There are a number OF claims
around Oroville and Loomis, that have
never reached the shipping point.
from which exhibits of choice are
could be made. Here Is chance for
the mine and claim owner of northern
Okanogan county to prove to those in
terested in mining that opportunity
exists in this district for investors and
mine makers. The commercial club OF
Oroville will make great mistake II
it does not join hands with those claim
owners in making up large and ,m-
prehensive exhibit. Let outsia Srs know
what there is in the way of minerals
in this locality, and the class of outsid-
ers that are always on the lookout
for meritorious prospects, and the re-
suit will be that considerable capital
will be diverted in this direction.
And with capital and the right kind
of mining men handling the capital 1t
is a cinch producing mines can be
made in this upper country.

TOWN WATER OFF COLOR


Notwithstanding that the 18th of
March has gone into the discard the
water from the town reservoir cOntin-
ues green. 1t is noticeable that a
greenish sediment collects on the pub
lie fountains and there is mucn unfav-
orable comment. Why those in author
ty cannot explain as it is difficulty
that must be contended with every
spring. 1t can hardly be charged up
to an unsanitary condition of the res
ervoir as the big concrete tank has
been thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed
twice during the past month. One
takes the water with good deal Of
trepidation. and probably 1t would be
a good idea to boil ii Before taking.

GOING INTO HONEY BUSINESS.

f. 7. Casper, late of Canada, has
purchased small tract from Andy
Johnston, fronting on the county road,
and proposes to engage in the bee in
dustry, or in the sweets for which the
bee is responsible. Mr.. Casper has
had much experience in the handling
of bees and eventually, if his first ef-
forts prove successful he expects to
go extensively into the business OF
harvesting honey. He will start out
with 90 or % hives as a beginning
and increase the colonies if the ex
pertinent wins out.
