This year begins Mr. Twitmeyer's

has been in the educational prof,s-
ion for 32 years being principal of

That the Brewster school students

statement made by Mr. GrinnAI to
members of the faculty.
Sidelights Into The
Last Twenty Years
"Roasted ground hog a Is, fur coat-
ing" formed a delicious dish for the
Indians of Okanogan county 20 years
ago.
The present site of the Elliott
Theatre was in that'early period the
camping ground for the first lumber
men of Brewster. The hotel, al-
though appearing too heavy for bal-
last, really made the journew from
th,; mouth of the Okanogan to its
present site in the early days without
noticeable dalnage.
Practically the first attempt to
sell any of the timber of the vicinity
was nlad'; by U. E. Fries. of North
Star, and Antoine Kiwalski. The
trees were cut in the canyon above
Bisher's, where the stumps can still
be en. Fries anti Kiwalski camped
on the present site of the Elllott
Theatre. The logs wqre shipped to
Wenatch'e on the steamboat "Virgin-
ia City". Today the Gamble Lumber
mills are running night and day.
The Indians in the vicinity were a
branch of the Colville Indian. They
v:ere w,ry crude in the culinary art.
Ground hogs. squin'els anti sarvice
berries were considered "hiyu skoo-
kum muckamuck." Tea and coffee
were boiled in the same kettle. One
of their delicacies was wild game and
sarvice berries boi/e,t to a thick ma.
One time Mr. Fries was invited to
a muckamuck with an Indian family,
which h',,, knew well• The klooeh
(squaw) thrust a stick through the
entire body of a freshly killed groundl
hog and roasted it with the fur on.i
Strange to say Mr. Fries was not
hungry.
Them; Indians, wer, e very proud.
If one happened to come to a ranch
at meal tinle, and wa not asked in
he w.ould leave immediately. Mr.
Fries oeently remarked after confer-I
ing with an old Indian that there
was no need tO speak Chinook to!
them anynlore.. Their children are]
educated- and the oMer aries gradual- I
ly take up the "Boston man's wawa." I
Brewster was tory prosp(rous in I
those days, because it had much tra¢ I
by wa of the steamboats, which went
from Wenatchee to Riverside. Be-
fern the settlvrs came in, Okanogan
county had a drouth, but the lno1
settlers that canle in, the nlore it
rained. The winters were w:.i'y short
and open and springs and falls were
very rainy. An Indian very pithily
remarked in quaint paraphrttsv. "No
loston nmn--no rain, cult.s. Boston
man conle--hiyu rain COllie."

School Holds To 4 P. M.
To Benefit Students
After the n,,-xt six weeks or after
the first semester, school will be
held until 4 P. M.. according' to a
statem'nt made by Mr. Peterson in
an address to the student body this
week. "This will be for the benefit
of those who have eeived poor
grades," says Mr. Peterson, "or have
failed in any of their subjects, giving
them an opportunity to further help
wlt,re they nlost need it." Those
who have llano good work will be ex-
cused at 3:15 provided they have no
regular class during last period."
Mr. Peterson reports that there is
going to be concrete floor put in the
Domestic Sei,nee room. The room
will be arranged with benches and
tables, and used for a lunch romn
also. When the weather t)ecomes
colder, there will probably be wam
lunches served.
Floor Partly Laid
By Efforts of Boys
Gleat progress was made in laying
the gYm floor during Thursday and
Friday of last week. Mr. Massie. Mr.
Asbury, Delbert Clifford and Forest
Asbury donated their time and ener-
gy and as a result the floor is half
finished. A good job was done anti
after the surface is smoothed with a
sanding machine, it will be a fine
gym.
Blmlcatball practice will start about
the middle of November.
Picture Week Held;
Apples Sent To B. C.
Picture week was observed by the
first and second grades by m;unting
several pictures and tudying them
and the artists who painted them•
Hallow,, en decorations has been
keeping tl primary grades busy for
the last week.
Ellen Valentine, Ernest Washburn
and Junior Woods have not fallen be-
low 90 in arithmetio last w.cek. Jack
Goehry and Marion Bassett aru on the
honor roll for the best behavior.
The first and second grades have
been reading the Child Health Alpha-
bet books that were brought from
the teachers institnte.
Some lettel, booklets and a box
of apples were sent last Monday by
the third and fourth grades to two
children near Midway, B. C. who have
no fruit nor go to school. Albel
Sines and Agnes Knowlton are the
captains for the cleanliness contest
this week.
Witches, black cats. pumpkins and
silhouettes are being used as the dec-
orations for Hallowe'en by the third
and fourth grade.
Ten new pictures framed by stu-
dents themselves and some crepe pa-
per pumpkins have helen added to
the already numerous collection of
decorations by the fifth and sixth
grades.
Another contest is on in Miss Mas-
s.s' live wire classes. The four
rows are trying for honors in spell-
ing. This far the row of sixth grade
boys are ahead. Cigar boxes have
been carved and painted successfully
in attractive colors by Warren Know]-
ton, Orval Hadley, Bernice Bassett,
Crystal Johnson, Bobby Woods and
Hazel Crossalnd. Avery Houtz has
returned from Manson where his
family have bon employed in the
apple harvest.
Who would have thought of it! The I
Invincible eight graders have lost out I
in a spelling contest to the seventh I
graders. As the highest ones in the I
grade school the upper class will now I
show that they can entertain bethrl
than they can spell by giving a peanutJ

BONE BILL) BEAR )T .V/}'!D THESE SIX pOINTS: •
1. It is not mer::ly to permit Seattle and Tacoma to sell electric
energy outsi:le their city limits.
2. It expressly authorizes the cry councils of these two Cities to
condemn aii ligb.t m:d power properties in the state. Such
property in another city, or,cc condemned by Seattle or Taco-
ma, could never be retaken hy the city in which it was located
3. Statements by advoea,:es of the bill that they will not do this
are worJalzzs. Yhe hill grans [his power to the city councils
of Seattle and Tacoma. Timse councils, changing in every
election, cannot be bound by campaign promises. If this
measure is passed the taxpayers of the state will have no
further voice in the matter.
4. It will raise your taxes. Property paying approximately $2,-
000,000 a year in taxes cannot be taken from the tax-rolls
without increasing the taxes of every other taxpayer.
5. It gives no assurance of service to any ci:y or section of the
state, nor any promise of lower rates. Service and rates
everywhere will be subject te the v,'i!l of Sea(de offi:a-hold-
ors. It will te an air-tight political monoply. Comport:ion
will be forever eliminated.
6. Conservation of the state's water power res0.urces is not
even mentioned in the bill. On the contrary, these resour-
ces which belong to all the p,z, ople, will be subject to ..exclus-
ive exploitation by Lc:..:e and Tacoma.
