Work is in the starting stages. Exca.

said that Mr. Work is another keen

SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD
Another Railroad Heading Toward
Oroville Which is Promised
For the Coming Year.

Just at the present time the railroad
outlook for Okanogan county in gen.
eral, and Oroville in particular, is so
bright and encouraging as to set the
hopes of our people high for future
OF great possibilities, future that is
not so very remote. 1t seems almost
certain that the North Coast railroad
will build through to Vernon, and that
point cannot be reached from the south
without passing directly through Oro-
vile. The following extracts from q
recent issue of the Wenatchee World
has the appearance of authenticity, and
If the project IS carried out next year
will be the most active in the history
of this county
During the past two days the North
Coast surveyors camp has been moved
from below the bridge on the east side
OF the river to place about six miles
up the river, and lines are being run
north from that place, AS in the sur
vey work done down the river the lines
are still being run very carefully, and
from all appearances the survey is a
permanent one and Il building line.
There are other erindications that the
North Coast is going to build at once
Capt. G. |. Evans, who during this fall
has been sleambOating ON Lake Pend
d Oreille in charge of the steamer
! Ruth, arrived in the city this week.
The steamer Ruth, of about $50 tons
capacity. is to be taken apart and
shipped from Pend d'Oreille to Pasco.

Robert Strahorn, the head Of the North
! Coast. Mr.. Strahorn stated that COM

recently at Davenport, During those
years he has had frequent occasion to
visit Okanogan county. His first visit
was during the time that the old camp
of Ruby was in full bloom. Mr.. Gil
pin was SO favorably impressed with
Oroville when he was here four
years ago that he invested in a couple
Of lots on Main street, and when here
this week was better satisfied with his
purchase than ever. He may decide
to improve his lots in the spring, and
if he does the improvement will be
superior to anything in the building
line that has as yet been seen in the
town. Moreover Mr.. Gilpin may elect
to locate in Oroville as a permant resi-
dent, as he believes the town has
bright future.

STILL INVESTING.

Guy Fruit has demonstrated his faith
in Oroville by the investments and i'm
provements he has made since locating
here. He gave more evidence of that
faith this week by buying the lot 'front.'
ing on Main street directly in the rear
of the building that he occupies. Dur
ing his long, long residence in Wash
ington he has seen so many places with
not one half the advantages of Oroville
grow up to be cities and towns of i'm
portance that he feels confident that
Oroville Is tagged for winner. He
counts himself big loser through
failure to take advantage of those 9TH
er opportunities, and he does not pro-
pose to let this last chance slip by. Ex-
perience is the handmaid of wisdom, or
should be. MIR. Fruit has learned
lesson through the experience of lost
opportunity, and he does not propose
to let il happen again, especially as he
IS reaching an age when the time for
taking advantage OF chance is becom-
ing limited.

HAS MADE GOOD.

A. j. Nickle. county treasurer spent
day or two in Oroyille this week.
Mr.. Nickle is out for the purpose of
rounding up delinquent taxpayers,
there being numerous property owners
who have been backward in putting
up. 1t can be said the young gentle
man is making good in the position to
which the people elected him. Affabil-
ity is combined with ability in this
case, and every visitor at the county
seat meets with a cheerful welcome
when they drop into his Office.

LOOK TO YOUR REAL ESTATE
1t Your Taxes Are Delinquent
Your Property Is Liable To
Change Ownership.

There are property owners in this
county who are stacking up much
trouble for themselves by letting their
taxes go delinquent, to say nothing of
accumulating expenses. Under the
law, after taxes have run behind one
year, any outsider can pay the taxes
and demand of the treasurer the issu-
ance of delinquent tax certificate. IF
the holder of this certificate is able to
pay the taxes on the property
covered by the certificate for three
years he can demand and receives n
deed for the land. OF course il musf
be advertised but every step of the
way ADDS costs TO The owner of the
property jeOpardized. These tax GER
tlhcates are safe and mighty neat in
VesJment from simple business point
OF view, for the property owner is COM
peiled TO pay 10 por cent interest on
oetinQuen5 taxes, and this Interest
goes TO the holder OF tine cerudcato in-
stead OF the county.
Parties from Spokane havo recently
gone over the taN rolls OF this county
and have demanded % large uumbWot
ueinq leut tax certificates. This item
Is pupI5h2d for lQe purpose OF putting
all tuose who have iajleu 10 pay Jheig
taxes ON guard IncY are IN danger
OF losing thoa laGu whether il be
