COUNTY SERIES
IS TALKED Of
New Brunswick -Amboy High
School Series May Be
Arranged
lHigh school Correspondent

(High School Correspondent
AS it seems very unlikely that
Passaic high school will consent to
play the locals a home and home
series it would be a good idea for the
Perth Amboy high school athletic
authorities to consider a series with
the New Brunswick high school
quintet in order to decide the county
championship.
According to Manager Howard
Dieker the up-county school refuses
to play at the local school gymna-
SUM on account of the low ceiling
and if a game is to be arranged here
it should be staged in the local Audi
forum or the Y. NJ. G. A. However,
the faculty has a ruling stating that
no Amboy high school basketball
varsity is to perform in this city off
the school floor. Exception to the
ruling would be made for Passaic
cannot be done If a New Brunswick
Amboy series is arranged.
1t is a known fact that the school
gym is too small to handle a large
crowd and the Auditorium would fit
in nicely. The game in New Bruins
wick could be held in the Armory. 1t
Is ~ NC llOPOo lAAok = IOSCA arg > !
school faculty will take some action
SO that the two county schools can
get together as soon as possible as
the season is fast coming to a close.
The records Of the schools are I'M
usually good this year as the teams
turned out this year here and at
Brunswick are about the best that
ever represented their respective in
stitutions in interscholastic basket
ball. Interest in the teams at both
schools is at present at its highest
pitch.
Freehold Tomorrow
The local varsity will travel to
Freehold tomorrow afternoon in
quest of their sixteenth successive
win. An easy time is expected to be
had by the crack Amboyans in down
ing the Monmouth county team. In
the first game played here the State
streeters were victorious by a 1921
score. The full strength of the locals
was not displayed then but tomorrow
the regular lineup of Grieve and
Westcott, forwards; Fine, center;
Martin and Capt. Dooley, guards, is
expected to start.
Harrison Strong
Since the Crimson and White
wearers inflicted a defeat on the
strong Harrison high quintet the lat
ter have been going strong and have
defeated among others Milburn, Gar
field, Woodbridge and Metuchen.
The up-staters boast of a star in
Turner who scored seven two-point-
ers on Don Martin, one of the most
formidable guards in the state. he
duel between Martin and Turner
should be an interesting one when
the two teams clash on Friday night
at the school gymnasium in the last
home game of the year.
Local fandom will no doubt turn
out in large numbers on Friday to
see the wonder five" in action. Tic
kets are on sale and can be obtained
from any varsity mar or direct from
the coach at his Office in the high
school.
The cheerleaders are tuning up
and everything points to a gala occa-
sion. Novelties will be in vogue dur
ing the evening.

BILL BRENNAN kAYOED
BY ARGENTINE FIGHTER

Argentine Republic is celebrating
today the victory of their heavy
weight, Luis Angel Firpo, which was
scored at the expense of the veteran,
Bill Brennan in Madison Square ar
den last night.
In one of the hardest contested
battles in the history of the garden,
Firpo succeeded in knocking out his
opponent in the twelfth round of
their scheduled fifteen round go.
The bull-like rushes of the South
American finally weakened Brennan
whose ring generalship and science,
gave him the shade in the early
rounds.

WHY NOT MORE CREAM?

We are informed that hundreds of
gallons Of cream are shipped out of
Nelson every week and that report
leads us to wonder why more land
owners in the valley do not utilize
the COW as a steady source of income,
Tor cream is Johnny on the spot in
tne matter of cash. Like everything
else one undertakes dairying means
work, yet it would seem that the re-
turns would Justify the labor. The
most prosperous sections of the coun-
try are those where dairying is the
chief industry. There is a demand for
cream several jumps ahead of the
supply at all times and hence a sure
market. The local creamery. that turns
out the best butter on the market bar
ring none. is reservoir into which all
the cream in the valley could be turn
ed and ii there was more cream there
would be more creamery products
This Is not new idea sprung as
surprise. yet is a by-product of the
larm that owners of land might take
into consideration to their advantage.

TOWN WATER PROBLEM.

Possibly it was because there was
so much moisture distributed over the
landscape Monday and Monday even
ing that so few attended the meeting
called at the Civic League for that
evening to discuss ways and means
for solving very vital problem, that
OF supplying an adequate quantity of
pure water for the town of Oroville.
SO far as the purity is concerned, the
present water is all right, but there is
a shortage in the quantity and some
provision must be made sooner or
later to increase that quantity The
subject was discussed but owing to
the fact that the available funds of
the town are very low no radical
change can be made just now in the
present system. However, it was de-
clded to buy new pump, as the old
one has almost outlived its usefulness
and, anyhow, is lacking in capacity.

GOING In FOR POULTRY.

w. F. Ramsey, of Ellisforde, was in
town Saturday. For man of his age
it is safe to say that Mr.. Ramsey is
one of the hardest working men of his
years in the valley and the result of
those labors are to be seen in the
quality and quantity of the products
that he harvests on his orchard tract.
For several years Mr.. Ramsey has
paid much attention TO truck garden
ing, aside from his large fruit ranch,
and he has put vast quantities of all
kinds Of vegetables ON the market,
shipping TO the larger cities. The re-
turns have not justified the gruelling
hard labor that has been required to
raise the truck he has marketed and
ne now declares that he is going to
quit hard work which is looked upon
as one of his jokes by his friends, for
there is not a lazy bone in Mr.. Ram
sey S anatomy, and hustle in the sense
of muscular eXertion is his middle
he has quit working Is hours a day,
and in order to cop few hours rest
in the twenty-four he is going into tle
chicken business, and going into it on
a large scale He has a model chicken
house and chicken yard, with { fine
large range for the poultry and will
turn out fries and roasts by the
wholesale. There is never a shortage
of demand for eggs and chickens and
it is certain that Mr.. Ramsey will find
the poultry business more profitable
and probably less eXacting in the way
of manual labor than truck gardening

the old county seat and the new, that
is Conconully and Okanogan. This will
be no new stunt for Ed. Bown, al
though he has been off the reins for
number of years, although nowadays
il will not be reins he will be pulling,
but hugging a steering wheel on an
auto. For long period, years ago
Ed Bown would pull into and out OF
Loomis every day when he was driv-
ing stage over the route between Loo
mis- and Conconully and many is the
trims that the older old timers have
taken in company with the genial Ed
ward And what a tedious long drawn
on. VOYAGE it was in those days. Ana
what different experience it will be
for Ed. from the time he moved SLOW
" through the scenery behind detected
looking nags, sometimes asleep on the
seat the horses going steadily over
rho old familiar route without guild
ance to setting up alert and being
pushed over the road by a gasoline
consuming contrivance. 1t is no longer

PEACH OF A FISH STORY,

An unusual fish story comes down
into the valley from Lost Lake, in
which |. n. Spinks was the hero. and
differing from the usual fish story
IN the unusual feature that is Is true.
AS the tale goes. Mr.. Spinks. who was
member for several days of a large
camping party accepted the invitation
OF forest ranger to drive over to
Boneparte lake to try the fishing. Mr..
Splnks does not pose as a fisherman.
he Is not slave of the hook and line
and seldom goes forth to make trouble
for the finny tribe. But in this in
stance he accepted the invitation more
to Kill time than with any expectation
of catching fish. He was unprepared
for fishing, anyhow, so the ranger cut
MN of about 10 feet of line from a
reel that he had and Mr.. Spinks tied
the line to the end of stick of wood
with about as much residence as a
pick handle. Armed with this prima-
tive fishing rod Mr.. Spinks rowed out
into the lake in small boat, cast his
drink, pushed the end of the stick
under his leg as he stretched out in
the boat and deliberately went to
sleep. Suddenly he was awakened by
having his leg jerked up with such
violence that his toe almost hit the
back of his neck, and blindly reaching
out managed to grab the end of the
stick to which his line was attached
Then he realized that he nad hooked
whale The fish made a gallant figat
and Mr.. Spinks did considerable pre-
spring as he handled that fish with
main strength and finally managed 10
land his victim in the boat That trout
measured % inches in length, was
over five inches broad and made
bountiful meal for nine grown people.
Oroville has many fishermen who
have had many experiences this sum-
mer but none of them will compare in
oddity with this incident that befell
Mr.. Spinks.

A WICKED WASTE.

AS fine. If not the finest, peaches
We nave ever seen were grown on f..
E. Teas orchard tract this season.
They were Of the Carmen free stone
variety and they tasted as good as
tney looked. Without exaggeration the
word enormous could be used as de-
scriptive of size. They were symmet-
rically perfect. The coloring was a
chomatic dream. Pink and yellow and
white, blended together in faltless
unison making a picture that would
delight the eye of painter and arouse
sensation of keen desire in the
gastronomic machinery of an epicure.
The samples coming under our obser-
vation, and Mr.. Teas saw to il that
they were numerous, were very much
peach without room for improvement
in any respect. Such is the peaches
that are grown under the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation system. but
what makes us sick in mentioning this
superb fruit is that there has been
absolutely no market for these
peaches. They would have aroused
attention and elected praise exhibited
along side of any peaches grown in
the entire country, and yet there was
no market in which the fruit could be
exhibited. The price offered would not
pay for picking packing and shipping
and hence this queenly fruit had to
go to waste on the ground. Heavens,
how long, how long are our growers
to be so handicapped We hope the
cannery will be speedily equipped so
this class of fruit can be saved to the
consumer and bring at least modi-
cum of profit to the grower Such fruit
as t1is canned would earn reputa-
ton for local cannery equal to that
enjoyed by the Oroville canned to-
mato, and that would mean that the
Oroville output would never want for
a ready market.

SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER 10
p,ght Outlook for a Very Successful
Term Under the Guidance OF an
Able Corps of Instructors.

The more or less happy school boy
will tuck his books under his arm
,vo weeks from next Monday and en-
Tar mon bis school term for the fall,
vinter and spring of 1924. OF course
t,e girls will follow the same course.
and as girls are not so rebellious
against the confinement of the school
room they will take up the school
work more docilely than the boys. But
whether they dislike it or like 1t
school is to open on the 10th of Sep
,ember and soon thereafter the teach
ars and scholars will have adjusted
themselves to each other and the edu-
cstonal work will go smoothly along.
The Or0ville schools will open this
year with a competent corps of teach
era and the term promises to be, on
the strength of the reputation of the
instructors one of the most success
hl in point of accomplishment in the
way Of drilling education into tle
receptive youthful bodies that the
town has known for some years. The
attendance promises to be large, and
those living outside the boundaries of
the district who wish their children
to enjoy the advantages of first class
high school, should make arrange
ments 10 nave those children enrolled.
The housing question is a serious
one as the school facilities were taxed
almost to the limit last year and the
time is coming when provision must
be made to relieve the congestion.
When this is done school houses will
be provided for adjoining territory
within the district but outside of the
Town limits.
The school trustees believe they
have very competent staff this year
The principal, Prof. Glover, comes
very highly recommended. Some of the
old teachers who have made good have
been retained and a few new faces
will be seen among the galaxy of in
sfuctors. All the positions have been
filled except that of principal and
teacher Of English and they are to be
provided by Mr.. Glover. The following

Brown, clerk of the district:
