atchee. Besides the soil of most of the
land about here, perfectly ADAPTED To
the production of choice fruit, will not
require as much water to produce the
same returns as is required in the
sandy and gravelly soil about Wen
atchee. But the possibilities of fruit
production is not the only resource
that will contribute to the support of
city OF considerable magnitude at
this favored spot Both east and west
the high plateaus are we'll settled up,
and can, and do, produce heavy yields
OF wheat and other grains. There are
large and constantly increasing tracts
devoted to agricultural products. This
Is the natural market now and hence
forth for the products of all these
acres, as it is down hill haul to reach
the railroad at Oroville. Then the
cattle and sheep industries are the
source Of considerable wealth, and will
be no small item in its contribu-
tary influence in helping to make this
place a city. Not by any means the
least resource to be counted on are the
numerous deposits of gold, silver, cop
per and other minerals in close touch
with Oroville. Mining is as yet in the
rudimentary stage of development, but
the discoveries made by prospecting
are of such nature as to insure pro-
ducing mines at some later period. AS
mining has been large factor in
making Spokane metropolis, so will
1t cut large figure in aiding the
growth of Oroville. With this COM
bination of substantial backing is it
idle fancy that leads one to predict the
upbuilding of city at this fortunately
located place Is it not plainly a
mathematical certainty? Could any
town be better situated or possess great
or advantages to insure future bright
possibilities The writer feels conf
dent that what is prophesied will come
to pass, and the same view is held by
every man who has examined into and
weighed the conditions as they exist.
Nature has been prodigal in furnish
ing the resources and laying out the
perfect site, it remains for man to take
advantage of what providence has pro-
vided and by push, and enterprise, and
energy build up the city that the site
was provided for city to occupy.

NIGHTHAwK NOTES.

1t is reported that quite number OF
the big mines in this section are going
to start full force very soon.
Rev. Father Couffrant held Catholic
services at Nighthawk last Sunday,
which were we'll attended.
The rains of last week put broad
and happy smile on the faces OF our
prosperous Similkameen valley ranch
owners.
Amel Schultz and Jack Holland are
sending down from above the clouds
daily about 10 tons of Favorite ore to
be treated at the Nighthawk mill.
Will C. Jones, our general merchant,
is contemplating building fine stone
residence on his Monte Carlo ranch,
down the Similkameen river a few
miles from here.
Miss Bertha Jones is now in charge
of the Nighthawk postoffice, and il you
don't get the letter that never came,
YOU are at least sure of kindly word
and friendly smile.
We would like to hear more about

shoeing and graft should have no place
in this county, and there should be
fair play and equal justice.

sister of Mrs. Will A. McCray, arrived

AFTER WORK HE DIDN'T GET.

A representative of the Spokane
printing house of Shaw-Borden was
doing, or trying to do, the town Tues
day, soliciting for job work. 1t is a
mighty small business for a city print
shop to be engaged in trying to rob
the country printer of a living, and
would indicate that it was suffering
from "a lack of home orders. 1t also
shows lack of appreciation on the part
of the local business man to encourage
such pirates by giving them orders.
The local paper is always working for
the best interests of the community,
appealing to loyalty TO home institu-
tions. the publishers spending all they
receive at home, and they earn all the
support they receive from the commu-
nifty, and more. How much do these
peddlers and solicitors contr ibute to
the support or upbuilding of the town?
Just make a note of this and when you
are approached by these itinerant beg
gers give 'em the stony stare.

TO WORK THE SUNRISE.

The Sunrise Mining company has
closed contract with New York
broker to handle the stock of the COM
pany, and it is proposed to devote the
receipts to opening up that fine prospect
Systematically and properly. A shaft
will be sunk 600 feet, following the
ore, and from that level drifts will be
run blocking out the ore. The claims
are directly on the railroad, the ore is
of uniformly good value, and ship
ments are anticipated early in the pro-
gress of development. The broker
who has the eastern end of the tinanc-
ing has the endorsement of several of
the leading banks of the metropolis
and is reliable broker. The opening
of the Sunrise will be of infinite bene-
fit to the mining interests of this Sec
ton, as it bids fair to make a produc-
ing and paying property.

smoke house in the rear of the butcher
shop caught fire and was burning mer-

INTO sERE AND YELLOW LEAF.
Eighteenth Century Women Seem to
Have Willingly Settled Down.

In an English novel of the eigh.
teenth century the author thus refers
to certain woman: She had reached
the age of 35, an age beyond which no
woman can hope either to feel or in
spire deep affection" In one of
George Msredith's early novels he re-
fers to character as a woman "on
the criminal side of 30." A Boston
woman in the last century, after reach.
ing the age OF 80. put on, over her
abundant natural hair, false front
and cap. These were the outward
and visible signs of the matronly ma
turity she had reached. She gave up
at the same time all the gayer forms
Of social intercourse. She confined
herself thereafter to the mild and
elderly variety. She had come out"
into Boston society At 15. After two
years Of social gayeties she had mar
ried. At 80 she was the mother Of
eight children. She had lived the 40
tive part Of her life. In accordance
with the conventions Of her time she
settled down to . life Of vegstating
domesticity. She was not IN sxcop-
ton. She was the normal woman Of
her day, registering it, customs, Just

knowledge that had no more
thought of saving than Giles. We
took a chaise and four to London
no stage-coach for us!-and reached
there in a day. We had planned to
take the finest rooms at Mivart's hotel
but fate and Lady Hawkshaw pre-
vented me from enjoying them except
for the first night of our arrival. Next
morning on presenting myself at the
admiralty to ask for letters-never
dreaming I should have any re-
ceived one from Sir Peter Hawkshaw,
which read:
"Grand-Nephew.-M Lady Hawkshaw
desires that you will come and bring
your money with you to our house in
Berkeley Square, and remain there.
Yours. etc.
"P. HAWKSHAw. C. B."
Great was my distress when l got
this letter, as I foresaw there would
not be much chance under Lady
Hawkshaw's eagle eye of seeing the
kind Of life l wished to see. And l
was obliged to go, for Sir Peter was
NhC ottiy pViooh oh III W III
terest himself at the admiralty for
me; and I might stay and wither on
shore while others more fortunate got
ships, II antagonized him. And when
Lady Hawkshaw commanded there
was but one thing to do. and that was
to obey.
So, with heavy heart, l took my
self and my portmanteau and, in a
canvas bag, my 1000 guineas to the
admirars great fine house in Berkeley
Square. My parting with Giles was
melancholy enough; for, with the
womanish jealousy Of a boy, was un-
happy to think he would be enjoying
himself with some one else, while 1
was suffering the hardship of having
my money taken care Of for me.
Giles had no more forgotten the
Lady Arabella than l had, and, on
reading this note, exclaimed:
POUNDS! / wish Peter and Polly
had sent for me to stay in Berkeley
Square, with that divine creature un-
der the same roof. Do you think,
Dicky. We could exchange identities,
30 to speak?" But on my reminding
him that Lady Hawkshaw had de-
manded my prise-money, and would
certainly get It, his ardor to stand IN
my shoes somewhat abated.

after we reached Portsmouth. and
said:
