group and secured control of other
claims on Palmer mountain last Janu-
AIRY. Mr.. Brooks has the reputation of
being one of the leading mine opera
tors of the country, having success
fully worked mines in the United
States and Mexico. He met Mr.. Bahrs
last fall, and through that gentleman's
representations of the country was in
duced to make the trip west. Mr..
Brooks looked over number of min
ing claims near Loomis, and the show
ings were SO attractive that he at once
declared his intention to secure foot
hold and engage in mining on large
scale. He located number of claims
on the west slope of Palmer mountain
that extend to the Gerhard group, and
then secured an option on the Gerhard
holdings. The first locations were
for tunnel site as much as on account
of the mineral out crop, and it is the
intention to drive in working tunnel
to reach and cut the ledges on the
Gerhard claims at considerable depth.
great advantage in starting tun-
mel from the point chosen is that a
ledge can be followed clear through to
the Gerhard claims, so that there is
really little or no dead work to do.
The proposition is a very inviting one
and promises to win.
Mr.. Brooks comes into the county
with an established reputation as "a sue
cessful and thorough mining man. He
has been accustomed to carrying on
mining along extensive plans and by
modern methods. Much is hoped for
from his venture by the people of this
locality. Mining has not always been
conducted either Systematically or
wisely in northern Okanogan, and fire.
quent failure has had a tendency to
throw dlscredit ON the country. One
producing and paying mine would do
more to draw attention to the mineral
deposits of this section and induce in
vestment than all the representations
that could be made by press or pro-
moter. Mr.. Brooks seems determined
to follow "a plan that can hardly fail to
make mine if the mineral exists upon
the ground in which he has become IN
terested, and most assuredly the work

FARMERS, BRING IN YOUR CREAM

Do no hang back waiting for what
your neighbor may do. That way
nothing can get started, and is sure
killer for any progressive enterprise.
This is not scheming proposition.
The dairy, and fruit farming, have
proved to be the sure winners for the
farmer, as the State Agricultural Col
lege has demonstrated year after year,
find these things out. Other sections
of the state have for years followed
dairying and fruit growing with great
success, and these two things go well
together. Your young orchard needs
the by-products of the barnyard, and
you need the monthly cream check,
while your apple trees are getting
ready to bring returns. In few years
your orchard and dairy herd will be in
shape to make you independent for life.
1t is true it means a good deal of extra
work, but should think it would be
well worth it. Just ask any farmer
who has gone into fruit and dairying
if he would like to 90 back to the old
ways. Debts have been paid off, nice
homes have been built and land has
doubled several times in value through
dairying and fruit.
The creamery here is open to stay
open, that is if the farmers want to
patronize it, but it takes cream to run
"A creamery. | do not expect to do a
big business the first year, but | do
hope to get enough encouragement to
insure success in the future. 1t will
be just as hard to get ready next year,
and if you put it off you will be one
year behind Do it now. and get in
from the start. Plant corn and COW
peas for green fodder, have plenty of
roots for the winter and save your
feed bill.

COMING OF THE SPARROW.

A small colony of English sparro W
has pre-empted Judgement over the
door of one of the store rooms on the
ground floor of the Peerless hotel.
This is the first season they have ap-
peared here, and where they came
from is mystery. The English spar
row is demonstrative, aggressive, pug
nacious, loud-mouthed bird. His chat
ter is ceaseless, while he constantly
struts around with chip on his should
er, searching for and inviting trouble.
Small as he is he is feathered pirate,
and drives out other birds from the
neighborhood he claims as preserve.
He multiplies with great rapidity, and
in the course of time becomes a great
nuisance.

great blessing to this section. and al
though late coming it will work inf

while the gentle rain was pelting the

also heavily peppered with the same

A. N. McCaskell is again behind the
counter at the Glenwood Mercantile
store, returning to his old position
Monday. a few weeks ago Mr.. Nc
Caskell left Oroville on vacation that
was not entirely vacation in the
sense of giving up employment for a
time. Mr.. McCaskell is thrifty young
man who is not out here entirely for
his health. He realizes the possibili-
ties, or rather certainties, of this coun-
try, and while attending upon the
whims of customers kept look out for
an opportunity to get in on the ground
floor in the way of fruit lands. He
secured some 40 acres under the goy-
ernment ditch, near Omak, and the
object of his temporary retirement
from mercantile pursuits in the spring
was to get that land in fruit This
object he very successfully accom-
plished. for during his absence he as
sisted in setting out an orchard of some
5000 trees The selection was made up
principally of apples, but among the
large number planted were 1000 peach
trees. In this we believe he was wise.
While the late winter played havoc
with peach trees, it should be remem-
bered that the late winter was a rare
exception to the rule. During a resi-
dence of nearly y years in eastern
Washington we remember of only one
other winter when peach trees suffer-
ed to any extent, and as the average
usefulness of "a peach tree does not last
