SEND IT BROADCAST,

People have said many nice things
about the Christmas edition which are
fully appreciated by the publishers.
Bnt there is not the clamor for extra
numbers that was expected and hoped
for. Every resident of the town should
send q bunch abroad, spreading the
gospelSof Oroville and Okanogan coun-
ty. twill do the country no harm
and the small contributions would aid
to repay the expense of getting it out.

tion OF the place marks it rs a division
point. The railroad powers recognized
the situation when the main line wos
pullt, otherwise so many thousands of
'eet OF side trackage, running into
miles, would not have been construct.
Ell. The railroad feature and situation
ltSelf VIII exert great influence in
the upbuilding of Oroville, and that
influence will be felt to a greater ex.
tent during the new year than ever
before, and will continue to be felt
through the years to come.
What will contribute directly and
permanently to the steady growth of
Oroville will be the reclamation of the
at present unproductive lands in the
valley surrounding the town. and at
last there is every reason to expect
that long hoped for movements aiming
at that object are about to be carried
out. Put water on this land. cut it up
into small tracts, and Oroville will
speedily become second Wenatchee,
If not greater city. There is vast
scope of the best fruit land in the state
on both sides of the Okanogan river
for miles to the south, and bordering
Osoyoos lake to the British Columbia
boundary to the north, and every acre
is tributary to Oroville. Two enter
prises are now formulated to place
water on this land, and both should
receive the united and enthusiastic en-
couragement and support Of the people
of the town and the land owners who
are to be the most directly benefited
| Let these projects gain head and be
carried out during the coming year
and nothing can prevent Oroville from
speedily becoming city.
Then sight must not be lost of the
mining industry, The past year has
been the quietest in mining circles of
any year since mineral was first dis
covered in the county. There is bound
to be reawakening. The mineral is
here and will yield fortunes when
proper and business-lke methods are
! followed in extracting the ores from
the earth. Mistakes and errors have
been made, but that is the fault of the
operators and not of the country. Open
up one producing and paying mine in
northern Okanogan county and that
industry will hum as it has never
! hummed before. This will be done
some time, by some one, and then Oro-
Vile will feel the stimulous produced
by mining on paying basis. There
are mar promising claims close IN 70
| Oroville, and if any one of them is
made a mine it will prove a wonder
full assistant in building up the place.
Take it all in all and the outlook
upon the threshold of new year is
most bright and encouraging. Times
are better everywhere throughout the
entire country, confidence is resored,
investors are spying around for open
ines to get action on their surplus
capital, the wonderful resources OF
Okanogan county are becoming known
far and near. and large addition to
the population may be expected dur
ing the new year. The present pres
ent prospects are the most cheering,
and this paper feels perfectly safe IN
predicting better things and hetter
times for Okanogan county in general
and Oroville in particular during the
wear 1910.

Not Paid Tax VIII Have NO Au-
thority to Transact business.
(From a Staff correspondent

iFrom a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Neb, Sept. ~e6.-CSpeciaI)-
Governor Shallenberger has a nice little
piece Of patronage to give to two good
democratic papers In the form OF a legaI
notice containing the names of the corpor.
ations that failed to pay the now state
occupation tax by September 1. There ore
5,03 corporations, more or less, in the list
which contains about 5000 words. The
publication is to be made by Secretary of
state Junkln ono in two daily papers to
be designated by the governor. The legis-
lature appropriated $1,000 to pay the ex-
pense of publication, but at the rate of 81
a square OF ten lines each II will hardly
be possible to squeeze the publication down
to $500 for each paper. If the appropriation
Is not sufficient the favored newspapers
can bring in a claim before the next leg
%islature. Secretary Of State Junkln did not
present the list Of delinquent corporations
to the governor TIL September %. The law
requires this to be lone by September Il
and Immediately thereafter the governor
is required to issue a proclamation con-
tanning the list and announcing that the
companies named are delinquent and that
their right to do business In this state shall
cease unless the occupation tax, together
with a penalty of $40 fer delinquency. is
not paid by September &c. Governor Shall
lenberger will issue such a proclamation
Monday and designate the two newspapers

corrected measure, looking to the creation
Of branches OF the central bank has only
strengthened the fear Of the existing banks
that the United States government is to
enter the field Of competition with them.
Recent action by Mr.. Murray, the
comptroller Of the currency. involving the
assumption of absolute responsibility by
bank directors FOR every part of the banks
promises; guarding against loans without
proper security to directors and requiring
the closest cooperation between the ma
tional and state bank examiners in the in
spection OF the operations Of the banks
have resulted, it is believed, In bringing
these institutions into a much higher state
Of efficiency and placing them on a sounder
business basis than they have ever before
enjoyed and the comptroller Is fully con-
WINGED that with public confidence in the
banks fully restored there is no reason to
apprehend any struggle or competition for
business between the national and state
banks on the one hand and a government
central bank on the other.

PROBLEM IN SCHOOL LAW
When should Regular Army Soldier
Secure Their Edu-
cation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept. 26.-"Where
should the children OF the soldiers OF the
United States army be sent TO school7'
Is a question between the public school
authorities Of Indiana and the officers in
charge of the troops stationed at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, near this city.
About twenty children OF officers and
p~rivates have been sent to the small town
ship school near the army post. The school
Is overcrowded and the state superintend-
ent Of public instruction kinks thai the
township taxes should not be extended to
cover the expense Of educating the chill
dren OF the soldiers. The state attorney
general. however, has given an opinion
that the army post children properly should
be sent to school in the township in which
the post is situated. II is probable that
a test case In the county courts will be
Instituted by shutting the soldiers chill
dren out OF the school.

At the close Of the conference. which lasted

Of the street railway company made a
statement to the press.

he said, ito formulate a proposition, which
will be acceptable to the men and the

proposal that win be acceptable to every

Mr.. Wattles declined to make public al
once the terms Of the proposition.
Many Present at Meeting.
The conference began at 3 O'Clock and
did not end until G:3o. Besides the board
Of directors there were in the room
Mayors Dahlman Of Omaha, Tracy of Ben
son, Maloney Of Council Bluffs, Tucker
OF Florence and Koutsky Of South Omaha.
Counciimen Berka, F~unkhouser and
Burmester Of the special councilmanic com
mittee; Euclid Martin, J. A. Sunderland
and z. z. Bruce Of the Omaha Business
Mems association.
There was a general feeling Of relief
among those At the conference at the end
Of their labors and many Of them ex-
pressed the hope that the strike would be
off Monday morning.
The proposition submitted to the I'm
ployes last night was the result of many
forces brought to bear on all sides by
various influences, which have been at
work since shortly after the strike began.
Directly, Il was the result of confer
ences between President Wattles and the
mayors Of the five cities after a written
proposition for arbitration had been made
by the employees to Nj. wattles through
the mayors. The special oouncilmantc
committee got into the game first with a
public meeting. which apparently did not
narrow the breach. Then c. o. Pratt,
representing the strikers, submitted a
written proposition for arbitration and i'm
mediate resumption OF work by the en-
ployes. This was laid before President
wattles, who in turn took up the sug-
g~estions Of the mayors with the board of
directors. The meeting Sunday afternoon
Of all the various bodies interested was
the elimination.
