Do not neglect the boys. They are the material which men are made of, and the period is very short between the time they play marbles on the street until they are entitled to vote on the great issues of the day. And the vote of the man who grows up as an ignorant street urchin counts the same as that of the best informed man in the land. Don't neglect the boys.

UNCLE SILAS AGAIN
He Writes About Things Con-
 corning Rural Life

If windy spring is an indica- tion of a good crop, our farmers had better be making arrangements for help to gather this falls crop.
 A general wins his battles by the selection of his subordinates- choosing the right man for the right place. The same rule will work alike in all branches of busi- ness. If we do not plant the crop best suited for the land we usually make g failure.
 One trouble with great many of us is we do not think nor ap- preciate how we'll we are getting along until we get into a worse condition. If you meet with ad- Yersity, use some good common sense and overcome the trouble and you will feel better.
 We cannot mend the past, but we can amend by the past. Our past experiences are worth great to us many times.
 Every person should feel free to ask intelligent questions about anything they are not informed upon. It is said that Abraham Lincoln asked more questions than anybody, and he was one of the greatest men this country ever produced.
 The women from the rural dis tricts have had big smiles on their faces this year. Eggs have been a good round price all year. There IS nothing more pleasing to lots of the women than to bring in from the barn each evening q big basket of eggs.
 Boys, don't mortgage. When you mortgage you are training af- ter the man who ran his reputa- tion so low that he could not buy otherwise. Pay your debts and make your word as good as your money, and you can buy more goods this way than you can with mortgage.
 The price of wheat advancing Is like the price of cotton going up-after 1t IS out of the hands of the producer Last summer when the wheat-growers were market ing their wheat there was not word said about a short crop, and 1t Is the same way with the cotton grower. The producer will never be in any better condition until he learns to diversity and become in- dependent.
 From time immemorial the farmers have been advised to raise more hog and hominy, and no bet ter advice could be given in so few words. This paper-sack living is very inconyenient and expensive, besides you are always out of something to eat. 1 don't know how it is with others, but 1 always feel like there's nothing in the house to eat-and its pretty much that way.
 It is all right to be economical and frugal, if used with good iudg- | ment, but 1t is very poor policy to put on the brakes so tight as to ruin business. The man who will lose a dollar to save dime because the dime is In sight, will never own very much of this worlds goods, even though he lives out bis allot, ted time.
 l always tried to take the advice of the successful farmer, and not the unsuccessful one. If the ad- vice of the unsuccessful one was any good, 1 wondered why he did not profit from it.

A GRAVE SUBJECT.

The Odd Fellows cemetery is now
open for use. This is dismal subject,
and the suggestion that any one might
want the use of such an enclosure is
hardly happy hit. Yet dissolution is
the price one pays for living, and pro-
visions must be made for a proper rest
ing place for those who answer the in
evitable and undodgeable summons.
In the past a bleak, bare knoll a long
distance south of town has been used
Tor cemetery purposes. With the pro-
yiding OF new place of interment the
owner OF the ground that was appro-
priated as the finale of funeral process
sions has served notice that the ground
cannot be used any longer for burials.
People desiring lots in the Odd Eel
lows cemetery should secure them as
soon as possible. Those having rela-
tives or friends buried in the old ceme-
terry should obtain plot in the new,
and remove the remains to perman-
ent resting place, where there will be
no danger of their being disturbed in
the future.

A SHARP VISITATION.

This section of Uncle Sans domain
was treated to touch OF winter
during the past week that was har-
rowing to the flesh and trying TO the
temper. When the wind blows from
the north in this locality in the winter
the man, or woman, called upon to
stick his, or her, nose out of doors must
pile on all the clothing he, or she, can
carry, and then some, for the wlnd
that howls down from the nils Is as
sharp as a razor and as penetrating as
an auger, and will find its way through
outer covering, much to the protest OF
the cuticle. Thermometers registered
around 10 degrees above zero, but the
atmosphere felt as though it was oo
below. There is some satisfaction IN
knowing that it does not happen often,
but only once in awhile is altogether too
fpppIpDt.

AND THEY PLAYED AT WHIST.

The whist party, given by the ladies
of the Circle, in Sigrist hall, Tuesday
evening, was Aattering success both
in point of attendance and the amount
of pleasure in circulation. Merry sets
of fcurs surrounded the Is tables, and
while there was marked absence of
science in the card manipulations, there
wascertainly fun enough and to spare.
Aiipresent earnestly trust that the
ladies will do it again and often. Mr.
Murray took the gentlemans prize. 1t
cannot be said that he swiped it when
no one was looking, Several were tied
for first honors, and in the cut for high
card Mr.. Murray pulled an ace out of
his sleeve and proudly toted off the
prize. Mrs. Sheridan won the lady's
prize. Mrs. Ruger and Jay Newell
fell in for the consultations. The sing
ing by Mrs. Signs, Miss Tilley and
VIM. Moultray was pleasing feature
of the evening.

AN EXPERT ELECTRICIAN.

r. II. McKibbln, who was connected
with the Palmer Mountain Tunnel as
chief electrician for some time, stopped
over in Oroville last Friday night on
his way to Loomis, where he expected
to put in few days visiting with old
acquaintances. 1t is no reflection on
those engaged on electrical work to
say that Mr.. McKibbin is far any away
ahead of any man in the profession
who has done electrical work in the
county, for by study, training and eX-
perience he comes very near knowing
all that is at present known in that
line of endeavor.
Probably there is not more perfect
and complicated electrical system in
use in eastern Washington outside of
Spokane than that in use at the Pal
mer Mountain Tunnel. That system
was installed by and under the direc-
tion of Mr.. McKibbin. Nearly two
years ago the young gentleman went
to the coast, and since that time has
been employed on a number of large
contracts that required knowledge Of
the business and thoroughness of exc
cution. He just recently tinised put
ting in an electric system at large
mining plant in Alaska

THAT IRRIGATION ENTERPRISE

the Project Is Go.

valley lands on both sides of the Okla
hogan river, near Oroville, providing
the land owners arc sufficiently inter-
ested to extend substantial aid in the
way of real estate contributions, is now
busy interviewing the residents of the
valley. The main point OF considera-
ton is the reliability and business
standing of Mr.. Dutton, to establish
his ability to carry out his end of the
contract, and as he invites and courts
the closest inquiry he undoubtedly is
able to make good all promises. Any
how no one is tied up under the con-
tract so that he is loser in case the
project fails of naturalization. The
important point to take under consid-
GRAFTON by the individual land owner
is this Under present conditions the
land for all practical purposes is al
most without any real value put this
same land under water and it at once
becomes very valuable. Every year OF
delay means just one year more OF
waiting before the land produces. 1t
is to the best interest of every proper

sonal advantage, and if he does so he
