IN FROM SPOkAN T.

Earle Browne of Spokane, son of Hon.
]. j. Prowne, one of the three original
owners of the land upon which the big
city is built, spent several days in town
during the week, looking into the bus
mess of the Bank of Oroville. behind
which Mr.. Browne, sr., stands with all
his wealth. We knew Earle when he
was a bright and frisky lad in knicker-
bockers. and were made to feel we had
..fallen into the seer, the yellow leaf "
upon meeting a robust. siX-foot' strong
lmbed. clean cut young man IN the
boy who when first known had not ap-
u coached his teens. Mr. Browne, Jr',
had charge of the bank here for some
time after it was established, and dur
inc the days of his residence made
warm personel friends among the resi-,
dents of the town, all of whom would
he pleased if his visits were more ire
ouent, and more protracted when they
do occur.

1T MAY MATERALIZE.

The movement to install local tel
ephone system in Oroville has not
reached the point of possible achieve
ment where it can be said it is assured,
yet those who are fostering the pro-
ject have secured sufficient encourage
ment to leave hope of ultimate reali-
zation. The town has been pretty we'll
canvassed, and the promise secured of
at least so subscribers, and as starter
that is sufficient to provide an income
large enough to meet the expense of
operating and leave a margin for the
kitty. AS the proposition is presented

An OLD LAND MARK
The w. L. Davis Okanogan
Valley Ranch Passes Into
Other Hands.
PLACE OF NOTED HOSPITALITY
And One of the Oldest Settled and
Improved Homesteads in
the County.

An item in the Spokane Review an
nounces that Commissioner w. L. Da-
Wis has sold his place on the Okanogan
river, some Is miles north of Brewster,
the consideration being $4,000. This
includes some $50 acres, but nearly one
half of it would probably come under
the head of grazing land, the balance
adapted to fruit growing under irriga-
tion. Every one who has travelled by
stage through this county knows the
Davis ranch. For years it was the
meal station on the trip between Con-
conully and Brewster, and travellers
never put their legs under better,
ladened table than that spread in the
Davis home. Whoever partook of hos
pitality under the Davis roof, and wore
off the edge of hunger at the Davis
board have always looked forward with
anticipations of pleasure to repeti-
tion of the visit. The Davis home was
an oasis in an almost continuous desert
from Brewster to Spring coulee, and
the memory of the cozy retreat and
welcome shelter, whether from the
searching and penetrating winds of
winter or the scorching sun and smoth-
ering dust of summer. will linger long
in the memory of those who tarried by
the way side and tickled their palates
with the substantials and delicacies
provided for the traveller.
The DAVIS place is one of the land
marks Of the county. Mr.. Davis To-
Gated on the land 20 years ago. 1t was
an uninviting spot so far as promise of
returns from the surrounding country.
was concerned, but the selected home
sight was at the mouth of deep, yawn-
ing canyon splitting the background of
mountain, out of which small, clear,
cold, everything stream flowed into the
valley, Immediately sinking from sight
in the dry and famished soil. 1t re-
quired backaches galore and blistered
hands without end to make an income
producing farm out of the sandy, rocky,
unpromising soil, but Mr.. Davis is a
sturdy plodder, and after years of strug-
gle he at last accomplished what at
one time seemed the impossible. Wa
ter was conveyed upon the thirsty land,
trees set out, and in the course of time
one of the best and most productive
orchards in the county added daub of
bright color to the scenery. The fame
of the Davis fruit spread from the in
ternational line to Wenatchee. Years
ago Mr.. Davis hauled much of his fruit
to British Columbia, where he found a
ready market. Gradually Mr.. Davis
increased his land holdings until he
was the proprietor of 800 or 900 acres.
This recent sale has relieved him of
much of his real estate possibilities.
He was in easy circumstances before
the sale, and the addition of $40, 200
places him in position to pass the
balance of his days in ease and comfort.
He has fully earned the prosperity that
has come to him through his rough
pioneering, unceasing industry and
self-sacrifice.
