A SLAVE OF HABIT,

Few people realize what a strangle
hold habit has on some men, unless
they have some habit of their own.
Saturday evening an old prospector
wno Is working claim six or seven
miles up the Similikameen river was
taken to his cabin in an auto. He had
been to town to lay in a supply of pro-
vender and one thing and another, and
his purchases were taken out in the
same vehicle that conveyed him. Now
the habit that has the goat of this
prospector is the chewing of tobacco.
When he laid in a loaf of bread he
also laid in few pounds of plug. on
the same principle that formerly in
fluenced the average miner and fish
erman to make up a balanced ration
of pound of crackers to Jug of
whisky. Sunday afternoon that pros
pector made the horrible discovery
that his purchase of tobacco had been
left out of the box. AS he nad eaten all
the weed about his person he was
strictly up against a tough PROPOSE
ton Being short of the soothing plug
his tonsils yearned for the kick of the
nicotine. The old man could not hold
out against the call of the masticating
muscles and he walked all tae way to
town, cussing his luck and suffering
great want, just to relieve the ten
sion. He Tas going out Monday on a
load of hay with his mouth and pocket
full of the lucious plug with a smile
that split his face from ear to ear.

JUMPER SHOED OFF.

Mention was made in the Gazette a
few weeks ago of litigation pending
involving the ownership of the Pima
Gle mine near LOOMS. 1t appears that
a person named Diedert relocated the
group of claims on the claim that the
regular annual assessment work had
not been done, although it Is gener-
ally known That the claimants of the
property have spent much money de-
velOping and have been scrupulous
in doing yearly assessment work.
The owners Of the property took the
case to court to regain their property
and Judge Neal has recently handed
down decision in favor Of the old
owners. Relative to the case the Okla
hogan Independent says:
Relocation of the Pinnacle group of
gold mining claims near Loomis by
Lorenz Diedert and wife was declared
invalid. fraudulent and void in a decis-
ion rendered Thursday by Judge C. H.
Neal in the superior court and records
of the relocation and assessment work
were ordered Cancelled. The decree
was entered in favor of A. Z. Williams
James B. Metcalf and J. s. Jurey of
Seattle as trustees for the Pinnacle
Gold Mines Company.
The claims are considered valuable
and have produced considerable gold
since first located about 1888. The
trustees of the company gave Diedert
contract to work the property and
do the assessment work for the years
1920 and 1921. In the latter year he
was financed and assisted by A. e.
Williams, who filed proof of labor.
Diedert, who was a stakeholder in
the company. virtually gave away his
stock to a brother-in-law. and under
the allegation that the assessment
work for 1921 had not been sufficient
relocated the claims Immediately
after midnight on June Both last year.

CAPABLE FIRE FIGHTER.

Hats off to the prompt action of the
volunteer fire department. and espec-
tally to the caief' Fred Hart, who di-
reefs the work of the fire fighting
WI en- the occasion arises. Mr.. Hart
never loses his head and is generally
the first on the ground when an alarm
is turned in. He seems to be able to
grasp the situation at first sight and
realizes where the water can be used
to the best advantage. Pipemen always
respond promptly to his orders. recog-
nil rg both mis- authority and judy
ment, 1t has been largely through his
admirable handling of the force when
at work that all the fires that have
occurred during the time he has been
in charge of the department, have
been confined to the single building
in which the fire has originated. His
management of the fire department
has saved property in the past and the
same excellent record can be expected
so long as Mr. Hart acts In the same
capacity in the department.

Diamond Dust.

Seven out of nine innings Okanogan
went out in one, two, three order.
In the eighth inning the Okanogan
nine was switched all around with
new men being substituted. The
changes were so many that the scorer
could not keep account of them, but
the changes made no difference in the
result of the game.
Errors alone accounted for the
three runs the visitors piled up in the
fifth. West knocked up short fly to
the right which either Hart or Gjerde
could easily have taken, but without
coaching the two PLAYERS ran into
eaca other with the result that the ball
was dropped. This was followed when
a hit by Argenbright was juggled by
Sanborn. A wild throw on Steiner's hit
by Hart together with a safe hit by
Crahlman resulted in three unearned
runs.
Steiner pitched himself out of hole
in both the fourth and the seventh inn
ings. In the fourth Piper led off with
a single and an error by Grammar
gave Griffith life. With men on sec
ond and third and no one out it looked
like string of runs, but Steiner tigh-
tened up and struck out the next three
batters. In the seventh after Smith
was nailed at first the next three bat
ters followed with safe hits, one OF
them a two Dagger A short fly and a
strike out ended the inning but not
upti, two runs had crossed the rub
Der.
Gjerde's double in the seventh was
stretched into three bases as the pail
was thrown in an effort to eaten Is.
Curtis at the plate, and Gjerde scored
when Sanborn hit safely.
This was the second game between
tho two teams. Okanogan winning the
first by rather one sided score.

Miss Elva Neander, who closed the
school she has been teaching during
the past year at Ellisforde Friday last,
expects to attend summer school at
Cheney.
Mrs. Arthur Ricketts, left for Ohio
Tuesday morning where she goes to
visit for several months with rela
tives. She was accompanied by her
infant son.
Miss Sophie Hendrickson, who
taught in the Mt. Hull school during
the past term just closed, left the
latter part of last week on visit
to Montana.
Chester Gjerde is now assisting A.
o. Mattson in his store in the Odd
Fellows building. The young man has
had experience behind the counter,
and as he is a very pleasant and ac-
commodating young gentleman he
will be valuable addition to the es-
tablishment.
The Pacific Coast Packer states that
J. w. Barnes, who spent some months
in Oroville last year buying apples,
for Smith & Holden, the widely known
New York firm, is now in Florida,
buying cucumbers for the Smith &
Holden company. Those who met Mr..
Barnes while he was in Oroville trust
that he will again be assigned to this
territory next fall.

END OF SCHOOL YEAR.

The last week of school Is a period
when there ia little tapping of the
fountain of knowledge in the public
SCHOOLS. After nine months. more or
less, of close application to study and
recitations, to say nothing of the part
taken In athletics and social affairs
which nowadays makes up about &c
per cent of the modern educational
system, neither scholar nor teacher
feels very ambitious. The end is in
siglt of long and strenuous grind;
there are preparations TO make for the
closing exercises; for graduation, the
goal that so many childen enter the
public school to gain and which so
few keep their hands upon the handles
or the pillow until the goal Is reached,
and other diversions that aid to make
the brief time remaining pass more
quickly. At the end of every school
year pupils and teachers part. some of
them TO never meet each other again.
Tor In this western country there Is
great shifting of homes among the
population: and the staff of teachers
Is usually made up largely of non
residents, and often the teacher WAC
has no home ties here serves but a
single term and then enters the ranks
or matrimony, or finds some more at
tractive position In the way of re-
munerative reward, so western
school may be said to be In a kind of
state or flux as to the personnel of the
teaching staff and the youth over
which that staff has temporary juris-
diction. Today, the public schools
close their doors for the 1929 term.
the teachers. or most of them, flutter
away to their several homes, quite a
number of familiar faces disappea ring

cloud to mar their happiness. Youth,

There was time not so long ago
when if an airplane should have hap
pened to float over the town and land
ed within the corporate limits almost
the entire population would have had
a creak in their necks watching the
gyrations of the flying machine, and
then rush in a body to the landing
place to examine the new contraption.
Yet an airplain circled the town one
day the latter part Of last week, few
noticed the aerial visitor and few
there were to do it reverence by
gathering about the landing place. The
world do move.

ALL NOISE, NO DAMAGE.

Quite number of the community
were thrown into a panic last Thurs
day evening by the report that tle big
siphon that carries water across the
Similkameen river for the prOlonga
ton of the irrigation system had
broken. Color was lent to the rumor
by the roar of rushing water that
could be heard all over town. For
tunately there was no other ground
for the startling report than the noise
caused by the discharging water. How
ever, there was close call for trou-
Bile of serious nature. Through
some means an irrigation head gate
on the south side Of the river had
been permitted to overflow and the
water was eating away the earth I'M
der the supports Of the siphon When
the break was discovered Water was
instantly shut off and the valves in
the siphon opened 1t was the flow
from the valves that was creating the
sound of rushing water.

THAT KILLING CLEARED UP.

The mysterious rumor of killing
near Wauconda that was floating
around last week has been cleared up.
and fortunately there is no corpus
deficit. Deputy Sheriff McAuley threw
light on the case Monday. The person
that 1t was alleged had been killed
was one Archie Henderson. Mr.. Hem
derson is very much alive. but if not
bereft of life he is bereft of freedom
as he is in the clutches of the author
tiles. Mr.. Henderson and his pals.
Hannibal Mayhem and Roy Evans.
were arrested on a charge of having
beaver skins in their possession The
OFFICERS became suspicious from
straws which kept blowing their way.
and they went forth to discover il
there was not something more serious
TO tag upon their prisoners. They
learned that high graders had held
up Stevens car and extracted there
from some Fl cases of liquor down
on, tae San Poll road. The owners of
the car, two crestfallen individuals.
walked into Keller and from there
made their way to Wilbur and on to
whatever destination they were head
ed for. The car was found down Omak
way, where there seems to be a de-
mand for the Juice that cheers, and
this is not intended as reflection on
Omak, as Omak does not hold a monp-
oily on the clientle of the bootlegger.
Anyhow. by tenaciously CHASING down
one clew and another the officers fas-
tened the guilt Of high garding on the
who had skinned the
beavers, or at least had in their keep
ing the skins Of beavers. The officers
believe they have a chain of evidence
forged that will shackle the prisoners
for some time to come.
