WAS ACQUAINTED WITH HARDING

In our issue of last week mention
was made that Henry Bahrs was
probably the only resident of Oroville
who mad a personal acquaintance
with the late President Harding. We
overlooked the fact that we have an
Ohioan as resident of Oroville. and
it is doubtful if theer is an Ohioan in
existance that did not know Mr.. Hard
ing in his life time and admired and
respected him. The gentleman whom
we nave reference to is Henry Bender.
Mr.. Bender has known the late presi-
dent since he was 20 years of age.
During the lifetime of the president
Mr.. Bender sat in conventions with
him time and again, and was a men,
ber of the convention that nominated
Mr. Harding for governor of Ohio.
although the nominee at that time
failed of election. Mr. Bender cannot
speak too highly Of the late cnief ex-
ecutive.

HUGE STICK OF TIMBER.

Monday R. L, Powell and Doc Jag
gers, with the assistance of r. H.
Higgins delivered at the railroad a
monster stick of fir timber that meas
ured 80 feet 8 inches in length, two
feet at the butt and one foot at the
top, and as straight almost as a car
penters rule. This big stick was cut
on the forest reserve some nine miles
east of Oroville by Mr.. Powell and
Doc Jaggers under contract with the
Washington Water Power company
and Is to be used as derrick at the
power plant located at the falls of the
Similkameen where the company is
adding another 5000 horse power to
the unit already in use 1t was no
small job getting out this timber, In
the first place it was necessary to
do considerable researching to find a
tree of the proper size and then 1t was
delicate problem to fell that tree
without breaking it, for tree of that
dimensions weighs several tons and
1t hits hard when striking the ground.
Messrs. Powell and Jaggers had two
trees shattered when cut before Sc
curing the one that was delivered.
After cutting the tree it was a prob
lem to get it to the railroad at Oro-
vile. 1t was loaded on two wagons,
one at each end, and by skillful figur-
ing the big stick was at last deliver
ed at the end of six days of pretty
hard work Here 1t was loaded on two
flat cars to be delivered at the plant.

LAST GAME OF
The SEASON
heremeos and OrOyille Lock Horns In
the Best Diamond Contest Played
ON Local Grounds this Year.

What was announced to be the last
game OF ball for the season was played
on the local grounds Sunday afternoon
before one OF the smallest crowds that
mas ever attended a game of ball in
oroVllle, and that small crowd was
treated to one of the most exciting
games, II not the best played game,
lhat mas ever taken place on the home
diamond keremeos and Oroville were
the contending teams and they had to
battle for IL innings before a decision
was reached, and the contest covered
upwards OF three hours of very hot
stuff. Those who failed to see this
game lave reasons to regret other at
fractions which kept them from the
Held 1t will be remembered, or men,
toned to prod the memory Of those
VINO have forgotten the circumstance,
that at the last game played against
keremeos 1t was won by extra innings
and the one at bar was repetition
or the same protracted playing, only
more so. Keremeos got the bulge on
the home team early in the game and
went into the ninth inning with lead
OF two runs, the score standing 6 to 4.
Then Balmes had to add misery for
the onlookers by striking for the third
time. Glory be the Keremeos catcher
missed the third strike. and in his
anxiety to nail the runner at first
overtlrew and Balmes was safe. Then
Dutch Gjerde earned a halo by lining
out three bagger scoring Balmes.
The following batsman put over
Gjerde and the score was tied. And
there it remained until the 18th in
ming Then by some unexpected bat
ting on the part of the visitors Kere-
meos managed to crowd run over
the rubber. 1t looked as though 1t was
slow music for the home aggregation.
but two men got on and then came tle
attenuated Mr.. Davidson, who has q
habit of clipping a sockdolliger every
once in while just as a sockdolliger
is needed. Waiting for the right ball.
which is not always conducive Of the
expected results, but different this
time, Mr. Davidson leaned against the
pill. and by the time the outfielder
had clawed tne horsehide out Of the
grass two runs had filtered over the
plate and it was curtain for the visi-
tors AS stated at the outset the game
was not a dizzy exhibition of scientific
ball playing, but 1t was intensely ex-
citing and we'll worth seeing.

PROPOSED BALL LEAGUE.

There is now some talk OF a base
ball league embracing Omak, Tomas
ket, Nelson and Oroville for the bal
ance Of the season in which only local
players are to take part. There Is
some sense In such a proposition, al
though somewhat late in the season to
spring. This thing of small towns
ringing in semi-professional players
at large expense takes much OF the
pleasure out of games between COM
munities. Employed players have alb
solutely no interest In the towns
that employ them. They may be play
ing in one town one year and another
town the next, and possibly against
the town they played in the year be-
/, fore. An all home team, on the other
hand. plays for the honor OF the town
it represents, and while the playing
may moi compare with that put up by
professionals the boys put their heart
into the game and play ali the time
to win. A league such as suggested
would draw out good attendance and
the people would take more pride in
the performance.

the present owners of the Gazette
transferred their interest to Frank

tageous to the town in one respect,

The town council has called a pub
lie meeting to be held in the Civic
League building next Monday even
ing for the purpose Of taking up. dis
cussing and attempting to unravel
the water problem. The Gown has out
grown the capacity of the water sup
ply that has been distributing a sup
ply of water for domestic purposes
for number Of years, and some
measure must be devised to increase
the supply. This is a matter in which
every lot owner within the corporate
limits is yitally interested, and so far
as it is within the bounds of possi-
bility every property owner should
be present at the meeting called for
Monday evening. Citizens should
think up some plan of procedure in
advance to present at the meeting.

A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

The pageant given Monday In the
Civic League Park by the Camp Fire
Girls was very largely patronized, and
the exercises were carried out on the
grass, consisting of songs, dancing,
posturing and initiative services. The
program was highly enjoyed by all
present. In praising the performance
it should be taken into consideration
the long, careful, patient drilling and
rehearsing necessary to prepare a
group OF young people for such an
exhibition. The coachers are as much
entitled to credit as the performers.
Mrs. F. A. Beale and Mrs. SCOT have
given of their time generously to the
organization of the Camp Fire Girls
in Oroville, and the success of the en-
tertainment was largely due to their
efforts. A nice little sum was added
to the building fund.- and it is to be
hoped that the people Of Oroville will
encourage other entertainments and
loyalty patronize them so that the
girls will be able to luild a home Of
their own.

OFF TO CALIFORNIA.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Pratt and their
son, Theron and wife, left by auto
Wednesday for Long Beach, Califor-
mia, where they expect to make their
future home Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt are
pioneers of northern Okanogan coun-
ty, having lived for a number OF years
on farm before taking up their res
idence in Oroville. Mr.. Pratt is unfor-
tunate in the fact that he has been
victim of falling health for many
months and Is not mucn more than q
shadow Of his former self. The change
of residence Is made primarily upon
his account with the hope that a
change of climate may work for his
improvement His old acquaintances
in Oroville and vicinity trust that the
balmy air of the far south will prove
a panacea for mis- ailment and that he
may speedily regain his normal
strength

SELLING END OF THE GAME,

Archie Pratt passed through Oro-
vile Monday on his way to California.
Mr.. Pratt has been making his home
recently at Vernon, where he was
holding the position of manager of the
British Columbia Cooperative Fruit
Growers Association, an organization
that embraced some 80 per cent of the
fruit growers of British Columbia The
fruit growers across the line were up
stump when it came to marketing
their crop. Plenty of fruit Is grown
over there, but most of it was proving
a liability instead of an asset to those
engaged in the orchard industry. The
marketing end Of the business had to
be solved and unless solved why con-
tinue to grow fruit. Mr. Pratt is a
Californian and took part in the or
ganization Of the citrus fruit growers
OF the state. Up to the time organiza-
ton was perfected the business in
California was in chaotic state Each
individual grower was market hun
ter and price fiXer to himself, with the
result that the market continued to be
all shot to pieces and the industry
was rapidly dying for want Of unity
of action among the orchardists. At
last for sheer self preservation the
growers were forced to organize. and
Mr.. Pratt and others Of his calabre,
who seemed especially fitted to
|straighten out the muddle, were put In
charge of the selling end with the re-
suit tnat citurus Huit growing became
highly organize and profitable in
dustry where befSh it had been a
losing venture. To save their financial
lives tne British Columbia fruit grow
ers organized along the same lines as
followed in California and secured the
services of Mr.. Pratt at a princely sal
ary, to pull them out of the hole. Mr.
Pratt responded to the call and locat-
ed at Vernon, a convenient point Of
contact with the fruit districts. Sue
cess was following Mr.. Pratt's efforts
when his health broke down and his
physicians insisted that if he wished
to prolong mis- life he would have to
return to California. Greatly to his
disappointment he was forced to leave
the work he had well under way in
other hands. No doubt competent
successor has been secured, and as
Mr.. Pratt has blazed the way the sue
cessor may be able to follow out the
marked path and lead the British CO.
lumbia growers along line of pro-
cedure that will encourage them to
continue tne industry that has grown
to such importance along the border.

CLEAN Bill LOF HEALTH.

R. f. Raber, of Tacoma, connected
town a day or two during the week.
Mr.. Raber's job, or one OF his jobs
is to look after the war tax collected,
or that should be collected, from NOV
ing picture houses and sundry lines
Of amusements that are expected to
divvy up on their receipts with Uncle
Samel. He went over G. M. Van Alta s
records in fifteen minutes and gave
him a clean bill of health. Mr.. Van
Alta is owner of the Liberty tleater,
and submits, because he cannot help
himself, to a regular rakeoff in the
way of admittance tax. He does not
keep a complicated record, and his
statement submitted to the Official was
not exactly in compliance with the
rules laid down by the department, but
it plainly showed what he had taken
in and what he had RENTED in tle
way of taxes and Mr.. Raber stated
that II was the cleanest and most CON-
prehensible statement that had been
submitted to him by any Of the moving
picture proprietors in his district, a
bit of praise that kind of swelled the
chest of our old friend Van. Mr.. Rabel
is constantly going up against all
kinds of complex problems in his ef-
forts 70 make heads or tails Of the re-
ports of most Of the picture houses
and much time and patience is con-
sumed in setting some of the boys on
the straight and narrow road. Not
that any of them are trying to dodge
their obligations for the purpose OF
getting the better of the law but care
lessness and sometimes Ignorance
are responsible for the tangled ac-
counts. And it is sometimes expensive

prietor was shy something over S40(
on his payments. and when the rec
ords were finally adjusted he was
touched for penalties amounting tt
some $780, which floored him for over
$500 Rather expensive carelessness.
