POPULAR RESORT IN SUMMER,

Wanicut is becoming a great Sun
day resort for campers, picnickers
and bathers. Probably il would be
more correct to say that Wanicut lake
has always been a popular resort for
that class of pleasure seekers, and the
rush for the prettily situated medicin-
ial lake mas started in with hot
weather. The virtues of this lake for
the healing properties of the water are
not as yet fully appreciated by the
public. Analysis has proved that the
waters are just as potent in those
chemical ingredients that relieve
rhumatism, skin diseases and other
afflictfons of the human family as the
famous Soap lake or other medical
lakes of the west, and it has the ad-
vantage of being situated in the noun
tains with attractive surroundings and
mild climate, the latter especially
appealing to those who seek relief
from bodily ailments. The time will
come when hotels and other accom-
modations will be provided for the
public and then Wanicut will draw as
many or more, than any of the various
medical lakes that are now the Mecca
of those hunting relief from all too
common ills.

COMMUNICATED.

"The prospect that God will Judge
me some day is much pleasanter than
would be the propect that any jury Of
my fellow men is going to judge me"
This rather uncomplimentary state
ment was made by the preacher who
probably has the largest audience of
any minister of today.
l can readily sympathize with him
because of recently being wrongfully
accused judged, without hearing, on
perjured or manufactured evidence,
and condemned without benefit Of
clergy.
1t seems strange that any one can
listen, not to say believe, the absurd
statements of some low down. back
biting Pharisee wno reels his calumny
to any one who will lend an ear.
These busybodies pounce upon any
circumstance. however trivial, true or
false, and blast reputation with little
concern for consequences.
In this community one need but
walk or drive toward Canada to be
stigmatized as bootlegger or booze
fighter. A child needs only to resem-
BILE ever so slightly some one other
than the parent to have his legitimacy
questioned.
Some pusillanimous monger smirks
behind an uplifted hand to tell that
so and so actually saw"
We compel a leper to live apart
from those in health. But these moral
lepers, gossipy snakes may tattle
round with no regard for public safe
ty. l read somewhere that He that
hideth hatred with lying lips, and he
tnat uttereth slander, is a fool" And
again, These six things doeth the
Lord hate; yea, seven are an abomina-
ton unto him." Among these are IAN
heart that deviseth wicked imagina-
tions, feet that be swift in running to
mischief. false witness that speaketh
lies" We commend the book wherein
these are found for perusal by any
person knowing himself mentioned
above. In the meantime, is 1t the sense
OF the meeting that steps be taken TO
revive the custom Of gagging and
ducking those guilty who will not re-
form voluntarily?

A PLUCKY ACT OF HEROISM.
Harvey Craig, n 12-year.old Boy Res
cues an Indian Lad from the
SimiIkameen River.

b. f. Craig is an employee of the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation dis.
trict and lives at the head gate of the
| main flume, on the Similkameen river
a short distance above the falls. One
day the latter part of last week his
son Harvey Craig, aged IL years
started from home to walk to Nignt.
hawk on some errand. While trudging
along the north shore of the river he
thought he heard a weak cry for help
At first he could not locate the voice
but the cry being repated' he noticed
small tree floating down the river
and thought he saw head protruding
above the bushes. He took off his
clothes, swan out to the drift and dis
covered an Indian boy about 10 years
of age hanging to the tree. Instead of
taking hold of the boy, remembering
that drowning person was liable to
seize-the rescuer, young Craig towed
the tree with its human freight to the
south side of the river. He found the
Indian boy almost completely exhaust
had recovered sufficient strength 10
walk. Then Harvey swan back to the
north side of the river, secured his
clothing and returned to the south
side of the river and accompanied the
lad he had saved to an Indian camp,
short distance above Nighthawk.
TIE Indians were from British Column
bia on their way home from trip to
this side of the line. The older In
dians had nothing to say but the boy
explained how he came to be in such
a predicament 1t appears that he had
climbed tree hanging over the river
when the branch he was on broke,
precipitating him into the river. AS
he struck the water the small tree
came drifting by within reach and he
left the small branch and trusted his
fortunes to the larger drift, not being
able to swim. By the rarest chance
Harvey Craig happened along in the
very nick of time, for long stretcl
Of the river flows placidly and then
breaks into rapids. Had the tree to
which the Indian youth clung ever
reached the rapids he would have been
shaken off and drowned The presence
Of mind, the pluck and endurance of
young Harvey Craig is worthy of all
praise and should place him in line
for a medal for .leroism.

POOR EXHIBITION OF BALL,

| The alleged game of ball Sunday be-
tween Oliver and Oroville was dizzy
exhibition of how not to do it, and be-
came so much of joke that the crowd
present really extracted some enjoy
ment out of the exhibition. Oliver was
, short its regular players and the
] patched up team made a very poor
showing. Dougherty pitched for Oro-
vile five innings and then Griffin took
!up the white mans burden, and there
We're so many changes in the field
| that the scorer made no effort to keep
J IA record. Only eight innings were
played, and as showing how weak the
visitors were at bat it can be stated
that II Of the Oliver batsmen struck
out, 10 falling victims to Dougherty
and seven to Griffin oliver made four
hits, two on each pitcher and Oroville
! nine hits eight of them after Oliver
slipped up on chances to retire the
side. In the second inning, after two
were down Oroville made six runs On
three hits and five errors. In the
fourth inning Lockwood made a SEN
sational stop of Bumgartner's hot
grounder, then heaved the ball high
over the first baseman's head. Then
followed two raw errors on the part
OF the second baseman resulting in
four unearned runs. In the seventh
inning Bumgartner drew three base
hit after two men were out and Dutch
Gjerde had been given a life by an
error Of the pitcher. This was follow
ed by home run by Balmes, netting
three more unearned runs. The only
run made by Oliver was laughable
gift. Lockwood had made safe hit
and stole second. Dougherty tried to
pick him off at second when tle ball
went out into short center. There the
fielders held the ball while Lockwood
ran in from second. Twice on hits and
once by error Oliver batsmen made
first and rushed to their death by try
Ing to steal second. both Balmes and
Ford getting the ball down to the
base long before the runner could
make the grade. The agony finally
ended by score of II to / lin favor

MORE SCHOOL ROOM NEEDED.

School district No. II. is confronted
vita the problem of providing quar-.
ers for the rapidly growing number
of children of school age within its
boundary. Oroville is the chief center
for school facilities, but the facilities
Of the town are being crowded to the
limit by the steady increasing num-
| ber of children that must be cared
for. 1t is the outlying territory thai
must be provided with accommOda-
tions. The only other school house
within the district, outside the town
limits, is the McGinty school, and il
has become too small to house the
increasing numbers of children. Start
ing in with some IA pupils two or
three years ago there are now so or
more children clammoring for admit
tance. That school house will soon
nave to be enlarged and an additional
teacher employed. Another locality
that has suddenly shown a marked in
crease of children is at and around
the old Wellington ranch. 1t is esti-
mated that there are upwards of 35
children of school age in that locality.
That means that school must be pro-
vided or arrangements made to convey
the children to and from school In
town by stage. Then there is another
part of the district that is sorely In
need Of more convenient school facili-
ties, and that is East Oroville. Just
how many pupils attend the town
school from that locality is not known
but from the number that is daily
seen passing over the bridge coming
to and going from the town school it
is evident that a good sized room
would be we'll crowded. The time Is
coming shortly when school house
will have TO be provided in East Oro-
vile to accommodate the residents of
that part of the district. This steady
increase in the number Of children Is
evidence that the lands under the irri-
CATION system are rapidly being set
tied up.

OROVILE, WASHINGTON FRIDAY july 2O 1923
STUNG BY MANY BEES.

Monday morning Oscar, the two
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Sterling toddled out into the yard on
"a voyage of discovery and seeing the
bee hives on Mr.. Sterling's place, of
which he has four, the tiny child took
the lid off one Of the hives. The en-
ragged bees swarmed upon the child
and stung him in fifty or more places.
Mrs. Sterling rushed to town for med
lcal assistance and DR.. Elmer prompt
ly responded. 1t was feared the child
was seriously. If not fatally, stung,
but Monday evening the infant was
down town in his fathers car, appar-
emily happy, showing few signs of the
painful experience that he had passed
through. 1t was a remarkable speedy
recovery considering how many times
the little one had been stung.

0ROV|LLE TO HAVE
new WAREHOUSE
Wagner & Son, who Own a Dozel
Storage Plants In North Central
Washington are the Builders.

The long promised, long expected
new warehouse that is to handle fruit
in this part of the valley is now a re-
ality, or will be reality as rapidly
rs artisans can put it together. AL
ready the basement which the super
structure Is to cover Is completed and
as rapidly as materials can be as
sembled the building will be rushed.
| This warehouse is located just west
of the Haskell warehouse, on the rail-
road right of way, and it will be an
other prominent structure to fill up
vacant gap in that part of town, and
unit in the string Of warehouses that
are destined to fringe the numerous
lines of rails that cut across the val
ley from east to west, for the time is
coming when the demand for ware
nouse accommodations will require
the covering of every square foot OF
land In immediate touch with the rail-
road.
This new warehouse is being put up
by G. NJ H. Wagner & Son, firm that
are very Napoleans in the warehouse
business, as they cover every fruit
section within radius of 100 miles of
Wenatchee, with not less than a dozen
as their contribution to the storage
facilities of the various apple districts.
That the firm of Wagner G Son is
out for business, gets the business and
does the business to the satisfaction
of its patrons is demonstrated from
the fact that from 1900 to 1000 car
loads of apples pass through their
warehouses each season, and that
number Is going to increase as the
new orchards reach the producing
stage.
The Oroville warehouse is to be of
frame 50X100, two stories and abso-
lutely frost proof The builders aim to
procure materials so far as possible
from local dealers and local saw mills
and to employ local help so far as
obtainable. The contract for construc-
ton has been let to the Vandervoot
Construction company, Of Wenatchee.
The contract for excavation and haul
AAo UAAu uCii'Oiy vi dHu STdVcl

contractors, Stucky & Jackson, who
have already shown their ability to
do a rush job by completing the base
ment, when they only commenced the
excavation Thursday of last week. L.

eral supervision Of the work and will
have charge of the warehouse when
completed, a position that Mr.. Miner
Is eminently qualified to fill through

POOR MARKET FOR HORSES.

John d. Hodges returned Monday
from Waterville and other points in
Douglas county, where he had taken
bunch of horses with the expectation
of being able to dispose OF them to
the farmers Of the Big Bend on the eve
of harvesting a bumper crop. He rail-
ed in his venture, for after years OF
crop failures in that locality the farm-
ers are wholly without means to in
vest in horse flesh. Mr. Hodges IS hob
bling around with the aid OF a cane
owing to a game leg that was put out
of commission when the wagon IN
which he was travelling was upset. up

days he will be able to discard the
prop that now aids him in getting

PAINFULLY INJURED.

Friday last John w. Alspaugh, en-
ployed at the Swigart sawmill, met
with painful accident. While assist
ing in moving logs the pevee he was
using slipped, striking him violently on
the left leg. At first he paid little at
tention to the injury, supposing it to
be only bruise. but obtaining no re-
lief from his suffering Monday he
came to Oroville and DR.. Elmer sx-
amined the injured leg. He found that
the knee was not only dislocated but
the upper end of the bone of the lower
leg was fractured. The fracture and
dislocation were readjusted, but it
will be some time before the leg is
any use to Mr.. Alspaugh
