The Creamery.

a force Of men have been at
work this week putting up ice at
the creamery plant in the east
part of town. Some weeks ago
the Commercial Club took up the
proposition Of putting the plant
in operation and the success met
with has determined them to put
up the required supply of ice for
the next seasons run. "A cream
cry is badly needed here and it is
to be hoped that arrangements
can be perfected to have the Oro-
vile plant in operation all the
coming season. Thousands of dol
lars are sent out Of the county
each year for creamery products,
which might just as well be kept
at home. could some one who I'M
derstands the business be inter-
ested in the matter sufficiently to
start the business.

The Dance.

The dance given by the Com

was well attended and was a sue.
cess financially. Music was fur.
nished by the Mccarthy orchestra
and was Of the best order. Sup.
per was furnished by the ladies
The dance was given for the
purpose Of securing new members
and funds for the club had re-
suited in taking in about fifty new
names. The price Of the dance
was $3.50, which included mem
bership. and after all expenses
were paid the club had something
like Il hundred dollars left in the
treasury. Since its inception a
few months ago the club has
taken up several matters of pub
lie Importance and has been the
cause Of new enterprises starting
in the town. 1t is the object OF
the club to keep the resources of
Oroville and vicinity before the
world and to assist in locating
here new business enterprises as
the town may need them. In this
matter the cooperation and as
sistance Of every business man is
needed and from the recent addi-
tion to the membership will prob
ably have it.

TO ADVERTISE.
States Reseusce to be Ex
plotted in California.

SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-The state
of Washinton will be we'll adver-
tised in California next month
when the chamber of commerce
of Seattle will conduct a business
mems excursion to that state.
G. B. Yandell, secretary of the
chamber. has his plans we'll un-
der way for the excursion and
there is every indication that it
will be a splendid success. AL
though the A.-Y.-P. exposition
is we'll advertised in California,
it will be the aim of tn members
of the excursion to interest the
Californians in Washingtons bi g
show and induce them to come
north next summer, not by the
hundreds, but by the thousands.
The city water works froze up
in most parts of the town during
the recent cold spell and in some
instances the company has not
been able to get the pipes
thawed out yet. 1t is evident
that the water mains were not
laid deep enough to withstand
the winter weather.

ers Coming West.

PORTLAND, Jan. 1S.-No news
that has been received by the
people of Washington and Ore
gon curiug the last twenty four
months is so importont as the
announcement that the trans
continental railroads will make
rate, beginning March /, and
continuing to April 30, from
Kansas City, Omaha, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Winnipeg and other
SIMILARLY situated towns, to all
main line railroad points in the
two states, for S25.
The people of no state in the
Union have protited more by
these one way tickets than have
those of Washington during the
last four years. The rate from
Chicago is S33, from St. Louis,
S30.50, with a propoatiOnate low
fare from all points in the Uni
ted States. This should add
many thousands of actual set
tiers to the population of the
Pacific Northwest. These are
ono way tickets, and if travellers
desire to return to their former
homes in the older eastern states
they would have to pay full
fare.
Every commercial club and
advertising bureau in the state
as well as every real estate firm
should begin Immediately to ad-
vertise these rates. Every citi
zen should write personal letters
to old friends and acquaintances
reminding them that the rate is
good to their town. But the
ticket must be bought te point
of destination-it's just as cheap
to the NEST distant Oregon or
Washington point as tn one just
over the border of the state.

located tract Of land on the east
bank Of Osoyoos lake and intends
to put it in shape for the nursery

river from town, which he has

Mr. Evans expects soon to close a
deal with the Smilkameen Power
company for sufficient power to
pump water from the lake to his
land and will put the entire tract
under cultivation, setting out
some orchard stock this coming
season. One of the reasons for
Mr. Evans transferring his head

MAY BOND CITY
FOR WATER WORKS
Petition for Election is Being
Signed by the Property
Owners.

The city council has closed a
deal for two lots at the corner of
Vancouver street and First ave-
nue. and will Immediately begin
the erection of a building to be
used for municipal Offices. The
building put up now will not be
a large one, containing only a
council chamber and a room for
the fire engine. At some later
date a larger structure will be
put up on the property which
will contain all the city offices.
The move is a wise one on the
part Of the city government
Since the incorporation of the
town the council has been paying
rent for meeting place and has
had no headquarters for the fire
department, the engine having
been stored in the Crescent sa-
loon, for the want of better
place. The building to be put up
now will be a frame structure.
A petition has been circulated
during the past week asking the
council to call an election for the
purpose of voting on the propo-
sition of bonding the city for the
purpose of buying and improv-
ing the city water works. The
company owning the system
have agreed to sell at reasona-
BILE price and it is the intention
If the city purchases to enlarge
the system, which is now made
quate, and put in a pumping
station and a reservoir on the
hill northwest of town. This
would give a heavy pressure
should the water be needed for
hre lighting purposes. The peti-
ton has been signed by almost
every property owner in the
town.

WANT MINERAL
Exhibit Wanted for the A.
Y.-P. Exposition.

The following self Explanatory
letter was received last week by
Ernest Peck, and is published
for the benefit of those in this
vicinity who are interested in
mining:
DEAR SIR:-Will you kindly
inform me of the outlook for
the mineral display from your
district?
Active effort is now being
exerted toward bringing the 1909
session of American Mining Con-
gress to Seattle during the time
of the fair and the indications
are very favorable for the sue
cess Of this effort.
This will bring to the fair
several thousand mining men
most of them successful. You
will readily recognize the impor-
tance of bringing these mining
men from every section of the
United States to this state when
we will have on display a COM
prehensive exhibit of it's mining
properties consisting of the ledge
rock and small sample of the
two wall rocks. 1t will mean a
new era for the mining industry
of this state, and it is very i'm
portant that your district be as
completely represented as pos
sible. We want the mining men
of this state to realize the i'm
portance of this event to them.
"One of the especially impor-
tant features of this states min
eral display will be a relief
model of the state occupying a
space about 30x4O #, showing in
this comprehensive way the
elevations and Typographical
features of the state and particu-
larly the gringing out each min
eral bearing section.
"A pamphlet will also be pub
lished for free distribution at the
fair giving a brief accurate de-
scription of the mining districts
and the properties having dis,
play at the exposition.
vigorously urge the mining
men of your district to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity. We
must demonstrate to the mining
visitors of this worlds exposition
the variety and magnitude of the
ore deposits as we know them
to exist.
The state will pay transpor-
tation charges on all ore exhibits
but shipment must not be made
until instructions for shipping
are received.
Yours very truly,
wv. A. HALTEMAN.
Executive Commissioner.
