Limitation of Senate Debate.

Senator Pepper Of Pennsylvania is
quoted in a dispatch from Philadel.
phia as saying that there is q growing
movement among a very considerable
number Of senators to limit the field
Of filibustering in the Senate. He
prophesied that before the next ses-
sion of Congress a definite proposal to
this end will be made. The subject is
ripe for consideration In view Of object
lessons very recently presented in the
Senate throwing into sharp relief the
power and the evil Of the filibuster. At
the time Senator Pepper voiced his
protest against hlibuStering. but.
recognizing that he is q new member
of the Senate, refrained from assum-
ing the role Of reformer of the Sen.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
When the salary question was up
IN the House 1t was proposed to raise
the stipend of certain employees of
Congress from $1,000 to $500 a year.
A member who opposed the PROPOSE
tion stated that any number of men
easily could be found to take the po-
sitions for $50 per month. Would this
member regard it a fair argument if
told that any number Of men, of
equal or superior ability to himself
and others. could readily be enlisted
70 SIT in a congressman's chair for
S2,O0o a year or less? Yet congress-
men now receive $500 a year, with,
perqufsites. and are talking about
making 1T $4,000. g. NJ. BARRETT.

ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT.

The Epso Salts company. through
its president e. A. Sherwood, Is offer
ing through the columns of the Ga
zette a limited quantity of stock for
sale at attractive figures. The figures
are attractive because this is not a
speculative investment, but buying in
to an established business with the
backing OF an almost inexnaustible
commercial article. If the finished
product of this company can once be
placed on the market, and that can
be accomplished with comparatively
small cash backing, steady and hand
some profits are assured and the stock
will rapidly increase in value. Being
a local institution, developing one of
the most wonderful natural medicinal
deposits in the United States, residents
of the town and valley who can do so
should lend whatever financial assist
ance as Is in their power. The success
of the plant will be a great aid in the
upbuilding of Oroville while establish
ing an industry such as there is no
counterpart in the country. Mr.. Sher-
wood, the president of the EpsO Salts
company, carries recommendations as
to his business ability and integrity
from some of the leading business
men of the United States, and any
statement made by him relative to the
property in which he is largely inter
ested can be strictly depended upon.

MOONSHINE FACTORY RAIDED

According to reports published in
British Columbia papers Joe Arm
strong, of the Similkameen valley, has
been arrested on a charge of running
a still. We are informed that the seiZ-
ure was one of the most important
that has been made along the border.
The still, or double still, as we are
informed there were two stills busily
at work turning out moOnsline, was
located in cave, or room, dug out of
shale rock on the side of a mountain.
The place where the still was located
was so cunningly hid that it would
be impossible to locate 1t unless the
officers had had inside information.
1t is stated that when the stills were
raided no one was present, although
both were in operation, large guam
tity Of mash with a large quantity of
manufactured moonsnine was on hand.
1t is alleged that the still has been in
operation for two years, and that most
of the product was sold to Indians. 1t
is only just to Mr.. Armstrong, who is
we'll known in Oroville, to state that
he declares that the stills were not
upon his land and that he was not in
terested in them. AS British Columbia
laws are drastic and are drastically
enforced whoever the guilt is fastened
upon is certain to draw long term
at Kamaloops.

GOING IN FOR CHICKENS.

One of the hustling tract owners in
the East Oroville Is n. L. Thrasher
Just how many acres he handles We do
not know, but not many. He does not
confine himself to a single line of eff
,ort He believes in diversification,
and is winning out following that
system. 1t is a game that any land
owner con follow with profit But 1t
takes energy, intelligence and hard
work. The l. in Mr.. Thrasher's middle
name stands for labor" and he
daily gives a fair example of bucking
to it. Among his other side lines is
raising chickens. and eggs. That is
he does not raise the eggs. only out
of the nests. the chickens look out for
that part of the proceeding. This
spring Mr. Thresher has built himself
a model chicken house. 1t is a large
structure and care has been taken to
look out for the comfort of his poultry
while introducing every means to
stimulate production. His chicken
ward and buildings are worth eXamin-
Ing for they show what man in earn-
est can accomplish in arranging to
make this by-product of the farm in
teresting and profitable. Mr. Thrasher
nas preference for the White Leg
horn breed of birds and has quite a
flock on his premises That flock is to
be largely augmented this season.
Last week Mr. Thresher received one
thousand young chicks from Seattle
They came from an incubator estab-
lishment where chickens are hatched
for the trade. In transportation only
three or four died In his large chick
en- house he has two circular brooders
at least We believe that is what they
are called. There were last week 500
fluffy little punches of feathers in
each of these brooders, the livliest,
noisest little cusses that have ever
come under our observation. Mrs.
Thresner was feeding and watering
them. They had an appetite like hay
bailer and thirst that would shock
an old topper And chatter? Why, they
would put to shame the most animated
sewing bee. Over the brooders are
large, circular zinc covers that are
raised or lowered by pulley and on
the floor in the center is an acetylene
lamp which keeps the brooder at the
right temperature for the chicks. This
is Mr. Thrasher's own invention and
works most satisfactory. There is al
ways percentage of loss handling
these young incubator chicks, some
times more, some times less So far
Mr. Thra chnr has haan fort,,nato in
having a very small loss, especially
when the large consignment is consid-
cred. Mr.. Thrasher promises to make
raising poultry for the market one of
the side issue of his farm venture, in
addition to diversified products and

more essential for success in any
venture. willingness to work, he Is
bound to win out

UGLY AUTO SMASH UP.

A terrific clash and smash of two
autos occurred at the Ernest TruaX
ranch. short distance south of the
bridge across the Similkameen river.
Sunday evening when Studebaker

toward Oroville at high rate of
speed, crashed into a Ford driven by
f. M. Allen, a young man who has
been in charge of the Truax place
since Mr.. Truax was put out of COM
mission by a broken leg. a few weeks
ago. Mrs. Truax and her five-year- old.
son, Frank. were in the Ford car with
Mr. Allen. and were starting out for

TruaX place on to the county road
when the Studebaker. containing two
men named Sheppard and Leslie,

was thrown through the wind shield
upon the radiator. Mr. Allen pulled
the boy back into what was left Of the
Ford car. and the little fellow declar-
ed that he was not hurt Mrs Truax
sustained a severe and painful bruise
over one Of her eyes and was consid-
erably shaken up. Mr.. Allen strange
to say was not hurt The two men in
the Studebaker escaped without in

Naturally. Mr.. Allen expected the
reckless drivers (for it is alleged that
the Studebaker car was far exceeding

LOST MUCH BLOOD.

Monday afternoon Jas. Frasier was
taken with bleeding at the nose and
for time his friends were very much
alarmed, fearing the hemorrhage
could not be checked in time to save
Mr.. Frasier's life. Both Drs. Effner
and Bevis We're out of town, and until
DR.. Beale could be found something
had to be done. Harry w. Tichacek,
manager of the Oroville Pharmacy, a
young man who has nad much exper-
ience in handling cases requiring
first aid. at once got busy and applied
enough medicants to stop leak in an
irrigation flume At last DR.. Beale was
secured and with his efficient aid the
was checked. Mr.. Itch
acek then battened up Mr.. Frasier's
face with cotton batting and adhesive
tapes until he looked as though he mad

Frasier has suffered no inconvenience
from the excessive blood letting.

HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The residence of Chas. Il. Amos, sit
uated on Osoyoos lake, opposite the
old Kelsey homestead, was entirely
consumed by fire with all its contents
at noon Saturday. Mr.. Amos was not
at home at the time of the fire. Mrs.
Amos was getting dinner and had
gone outdoors for something when she
observed smoke issuing from the roof.
She rushed into the a6dse through
the kitchen to the front room to save
the baby and by the time she could
get out of doors again, being COM
PEELED to return through the kitchen
to gain an exit, the entire kitchen was
in flames. She was unable to save a
single article beyond the clothes she
and the baby had on. 1t is supposed
that the fire caught between the CELL
ing and the roof from a spark from
the kitchen chimney. AS the house was
Of frame with beaver board lining it
burned like powder.
Mr.. Amos carried $500 insurance on
the building and $500 on the contents.
Strange to say, F. C. Abbott, adjuster
for the Hartford, happened to arrive
in Oroville Sunday, whether in antici-
patton of the Amos fire or not de-
poneth does not state, but, anyhow,
Mr.. Abbott by chance struck Oroville
just at this opportune time. He is a
young man who does not worry over
spilled milk, and evidently has the
habit Of acting promptly in an emer-
gency. The burned home was insured
in the company he represents and 1t
was up to him to adjust the same,
which he proceeded to do without re-
sorting to red tape and correspond
ence. Sunday Mr.. Abbott visited the
scene of the fire and before noon
Monday he had adjusted the loss and
arranged for the immediate payment
of the money. That was quick action
credit to the company that sustained
the loss, and especially credit to the
young gentleman who represents the
company in the capacity Of adjuster

DEATH OF w. L. BURBERRY.

Another pioneer Of the north part Of
at noon of Friday, April 20, when w,
p. Burberry suddenly passed away at
his home in Horse Springs coulee,
lnear Loomis, while sitting in his
chair. The end came Unexpectedly as
the deceased had been out in his yard
during the forenoon. However. Mr..
Burberry had been in failing health for
"a long time and while his death was
Sudden his general condition indicated
that the final end was not Far off. The
| funeral services were held at the
home Of the deceased at 2 o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon, Rev. ID. Vincent Gray
officiating, and interment was in
Mountain View cemetery, at Loomis. A
large number of old friends and
neighbors assembled to show their
last respects to the dead.
w. p. Burberry was born at Leister,
Leistershire county, England, in 1S47.
He came to this county in 1894 and
took up a homestead in Hors. Springs
coulee where he has since resided
He is survived by his wife, tlree sans,
John, William and Ricbard and two
daughters, Lily and Dorothy, all of
whom reside at or near the home aud
were present at the funeral.
The deceased was sterling and
sturdy specimen of the English yoe-
man, a man familiar with eye,y phase
of farming and stock raising, and
whatever his farm produced under his
immediate supervision was of a super
ior quality. He was man of far more
than ordinary intelligence, bluff and
.outspoken in his opinions, yet withal
kindly and congenial. In his dealings
with his fellowmen he was the soul Of
honor and during his long residence
| in the county won the respect and con-
| fidence of all with wnom he came in
contact. In his time he had been a man
of great physical strength, and took
great pleasure in all kinds Of sports.
Besides his own immediate family he
leaves a large circle of warm friends
