LOCAL ELEVEN
I, LOSE CONTEST
TO WELLPINIT
Hard Fought Game Ends 90;
Wet Field Slows
Game
Nespelem Strong
Show Stuff On Defense In Satur-,
day Event; Parmeter
Out

In game played at Wellpinit and
on field covered with three inches
of sloppy snow the snappy Well
pint football team was forced to
extend itself to win from Nespelem
Saturday, 6 to 0.
Nespelem was stubborn on de-
tense. Time and again Wellpinit was
forced to punt on the fourth down
with Is yards to go for first down.
Junior DeCamp played a stellar de-
fenSive game at center, making no
less than eleven clean tackles be-
hind the line, throwing Wellpinit
backs for heavy losses.
Considering the strength of Mes
pelem's defense, Wellpinit was
lucky to win. After recovering a
fum|bled punt on the Nespelem Is
yard line, Wellpinit back ran,
stumbled, slipped and slid off
tackle for the only score. The run
ner was all but down as many as five
or six times during the run, but was
destined to continue for the score.
Every man on the Nespelem team
saw action except Parmeter who re-
manned at home with bad knee.
Nespelem will play Mansfield in
the last game OF the season at Mes
pelem Saturday, November %.

NESPELEM TOWN LOTS FOR SALE
LAND OFFICE REPORT TELLS
Property Withdrawn From Sale A
Year Ago Again
On Market
Will Induce Settlers
New Ruling Should Bring Fam
lies To Town; Prices
Reasonable

The Nespelem town lots are again
open for sale, according to a letter
received by the Commercial club,
from the United States Land Office
in Spokane.
These lots were withdrawn from
sale more than year ago, by the
Indian department pending the out
come of the Indian vote on the
Wheeler-Howard bill, but since the
Indians here rejected the bill, the
Indian department recommended
that the lots be returned to sale
again. The letter from Spokane
addressed to the Nespelem Com
mercial club follows:
1--WE are today In receipt Of your
inquiry of the 23rd inst. relative to
status of the Nespelem town lots.
We are pleased to advise that by
Commissioners letter * of Octo-
Der 18th, 1895, received here Octo-
Der 81, 1885, this office was notified
that all the undisposed lots IN said
towrlsite are now subject to private
sale. for cash, at their appraised
values.
mo specific form Of application
is required. The applicant should
write letter specifying lot and
block number, signed with first
name in full and accompanied by
appraised price of the lot or lots.
Very respectfully,
George E. Stone, (Register)"
Many people were turned from
the town in the last year because
they were unable to buy lots to
build on. Now that these lots are
available and at very reasonable
price, it is expected that the town
will show a healthy growth. And
the fact that the water system is an
assured thing may prove another
factor in the growth of the town.
The appraised valuation OF the re-
manning lots, which are all residence
lots is from $40 to $35 each.

County Livestock
Struck By Disease
Seven Cattle Die Near Brewster !;
Others Reported
Stricken

With seven cattle deaths reported
in Okanogan county in the last four
days, and with reports of other live
stock being seriously infected, cat
tlemen in this vicinity are again
facing the mysterious malady which
struck Grant, Douglas and Okan-
ogan county herds several months
ago.
Vernon Chapman, county agent,
made a hurried trip to Pullman yes
terday, taking with him live speci-
mems from the John Patterson herd,
near Monse. He is expected back
today, and information received at
his office indicates that an expert
from the State college may accom-
pany him for the purpose of study
ing the disease.
Loses Seven
l.. B. Mclean, Brewster, reported
the loss of seven cattle, all sucking
calves and long yearlings, within
the last few days. Warned earlier
in the season against feeding his
stock on bunch grass until after q
heavy rain, his stock have had no
access to pasture of this kind until
recently.
1T is thought by some agricul-
tural heads that poisonous fungus
growing on bunch grass may be the
reason for the disease. In my case
I can't see what else is causing the
cattle Deaths" Mr.. Mclean said
yesterday.
Cause Unknown
Mr. Chapman, in commenting on
the matter several months ago,
said: Most veterinarians, including
members of the State Department
of Agriculture, state that the loss Is
being caused by some mysterious
fungus growing on the bunch grass.
However, as yet they have not pro-
we'd this contention and at no place
do we find record of such cause be-
ing authenticated"
Stockmen are urged 10 report any
losses to the county agents office
as soon as possible.

SHOW MURDER MYSTERY
AT NEW DEAL THEATRE

One of the most thrilling murder
mystery stories of the year comes to
the New Deal theatre, Nespelem,
Friday and Sunday, November 20
and "a. The neatly constructed plot
involves no less than three murders
and at no time is there a lapse in
audience interest.
Lowe plays the role of "Dyna-
mite" a reckless, black sheep detec-
tive who is given a police escort out
of every town he enters. He Is cal
led in by private interests to solve
the mysterious murder OF young
bow who is shot down as he is leav-
ing the grounds of the Casino,
gambling resort.
While Lowe endeavors to pick up
the threads of a clue around this
murder, two more murders take
place, to which police refuse to give
him access. How Lowe eventually
gets around these difficulties and
solves all three mysteries, makes one
of the most absorbing pictures seen
in long, long time.
Lowe is excellent in a role made
to order for him, while Jean Dixon
as his wise-cracking secretary, does
nobly by herself and the part. Miss
Dixon is a product of the stage
who bids fair to increase her popu-
larity on the screen. Others who
distinguish themselves in the cast
are Verna Hillie, a little blonde
newcomer who shows plenty OF
talent and personality; Victor Var
conf, Esther Ralston and Robert
Gleakleg.

To Play
Mansfield Team
Return Game Set For Saturday;
To Play Off Recent
Tie Game

Nespelem gridders will meet the
Mansfield eleven on the local field
Saturday afternoon, with the game
called at o'clock.
This should prove a close and in
teresting game as these two teams
tied with a score of to 6 at Mans
field in the Armistice day game.
Nespelem has prayed three tie
games this season.
Just as the boys were ready to
start to Mansfield November 9, a
telegram was received saying that
they were having a terrible dust
storm there and that the game
would have to be called off. Later
they arranged for a game on Arm
istice Day.
The Nespelem boys met a fast
and determined football team at
Mansfield. Nespelem was outcharg-
ed all during the first half but
Mansfield was unable to score. The
third period found Nespelem making
nice gains, but wild pass from
center on our own IS yard line
rolled to the three yard line where
Mansfield's end fell on it. In two
plays the ball was over. The try
for point failed, with Pendell block
ing the kick.
With the score 6 to 0 against
them, Nespelem took the kickoff,
determined to score. They kicked
and passed to the Mansfield % yard
line. At that point, James pulled
the ancient end around play which
caught Mansfield mapping. Harrison
was stopped just short of touch
down, when Massie failed to block
effectively. Trexler finally took the
ball over on line play. James
missed the kick. The game ended
6 to 6.

ment With Canada; Against
Lower Tariff

RAISING resolutions concerning the
reciprocal trade agreement with

ton, 100 Okanogan county stockmen
met at Tonasket Saturday for the
discussion of problems of mutual
interest

permit the entry of Canadian pro-
ducts competing with products
grown in this country.
Protest Beef Importations
Sharp protest was made at the
meeting against the agreement with
Argentina, whereby the South
American country agrees to take
American manufactured goods, dol
lar for dOliar, and Ship beef In pay
ment. It was understood that elec-
trical goods from the United States
were to be sent in return for the
cattle.
It was brought out during the
session that the foot and. mouth

congress regarding federal tax on
oleomargerine containing other than
domestic fats and oils was discussed.
Prod Congressman
A resolution was passed asking
the congressman from this state to
acquaint themselves more fully with
the livestock situation as it exists
today. John Helphrey, president Of
the state cattlemen's association.
stated that the senators from other
western states were protecting thu
beef cattle industry.
j. K. Wallace, bureau Of agricul-
tural economics, discussed the ma
tional and international livestock
situation, and said that while at the
present time the livestock man was
IN the best position he has been for
years, danger existed that the beef
stock would increase too rapidly,
and that the situation would revert
back to it's former state.
Gives Demonstration
In a beef cattle demonstration,
Mr.. Wallace pointed out the char
acteristics that make animals grade,
showing choice and fancy killers
and feeders.
c. s. Maddox, extension animal
husbandryman, washington State
college, gave a resume Of feeding
work conducted at the State College
of Washington using alfalfa hay,
wheat hay, and mixtures for fatten-
ing beef cattle. He showed that
alfalfa hay is superior to grain hay
in livestock fattening, and that a
mixture of alfalfa hay and wheat
hay, half and half, is the equivalent
to alfalfa. Mr.. Maddox gave figures
showing the cost Of fattening, and
the amount of feed required to fat
ten calves, yearlings, and two year
olds.
Reporting on recent livestock
deaths in this county, Vernon Chap
man, county agent, told Of the work
done, and being done, towards the
