FORMER RESIDENT MARRIED.

Mention was made in a recent mum
ber of the Spokane Chronicle of the
marriage of Rev. j. l.. Hess in that
city. The reverend bridegroom is not
a stranger to the older residents OF
Oroville. His first assignment in the
state was Oroville, and he assumed
some of the wooliness that is proverb-
tally connected with the west. Yet
Mr.. Hess made strides IN the ministery,
and his course has been steadily up
ward. He now has charge of the
Ledgerwood NJ. f. church, which Is
within the limits of Spokane.

OPENING uP|A GOOD PROPERTY
1t Is Located Near Oroville and
Has Every Appearance of
Making a Nine.

Julius Brechlin is doing assessment
work on a group of claims on the north
bank of the Similkameen river, a few
miles west of Oroville, that should
make mine under proper develop
ment If mine can be made on the
south side of the British Columbia
boundary line in this county. Mr.
Brechlin is an old resident of Loomis,
and has devoted years rambling thro'
the mountains, chasing float, prying
into every crack and crevise where
there was a possibility of finding signs
of mineral, and is probably more fa-
miliar with the broken country around
Nighthawk than any prospector who
has legged it over the mountains in
chase of hidden treasures. He found
and located the ledge that he is now
working on several years ago. His
means of opening up the ledge are linn
tied to the manual labor he is able to
perform, and he has religiously done
the assessment work every year since
he staked out the ground. Through
the means of this curtailed exploita-
tion he has succeeded in uncovering a
large body of ore, and if it averages
up anywhere near the samples he ex-
hibits, and he declares it does, then
there is certainly encouragement and
justification for the expenditure of a
considerable sum in extensive research.
The ledge is very large one between
well defined walls, it can be readily
traced long distance, and could'not
be more favorably situated for easy
and economical working. Besides it
is almost within a stones throw of
the river. If company could be in
duced to take hold of the property re-
suits of a nature desired in mining
would undoubtedly follow. Moreover
the claims are so near Oroville if they
could be opened up the enterprise
would prove to be of great benefit to
the. town. az

CATCHY AID.

A. +. McMahan, the jeweler and
watch tinker, made ten strike in
holiday advertising. Issuing folder
telling the purchasing public of his
handsome holiday wares, he inclosed
Herewith a new Lincoln penny. This
coin of small denomination is rarety
in this upper country, for the cent has
not as yet become factor in the trans
actions of commerce. Besides it is un-
derstood that the coinage of the Lin
coin cent has been suspended, and il
that is the case the penny put out by
Mr.. McMahan will in time become a
valuable possession of its scarcity.

h RIGHT MAN At THE HELM
II Work Buys a Large Tract of
Land Near Town Which
He Will Reclaim.

T. Is generally understood that l.. l..
Vork has purchased the large tract of
Ind on the east side of the Okanogan
iyer. close in to Oroville, from Dan
Morgan, who only recently acquired
Ae property from Fred B. Grinnell.
better piece of news this paper could
| hrdly carry to its readers. for the
| hances are altogether favorable that
he tract will now be placed under
uter improved and made productive.
Indeed Mr.. Work shows he did not
uake the investment for the purpose
dletting the land remain in its pres
mt state, for he sent to Spokane at
ne for an engineer with knowledge
dthe science of irrigation. The gen.
leman arrived Monday evening, and
tuesday he was on the ground with
Nj, Work viewing out the lay of the
Ind. Upon his verdict will depend
he plans Mr.. Work will adopt to re-
XII
claim the land, and it is safe to prom
he that active work with that object
b view will be inaugurated at an early
date. In all of the Okanogan valley
cannot be found so large tract Of raw
Ind 50 admirably located for irriga-
tion nor one better adapted for the
growing Of fruit. If Mr.. Work inaugu-
rates system of irrigation on his new
purchase, plants it out to trees and di-
yides it up into small plots he will be
one OF the greatest benefactors that
0royille has ever had, because the re-
clsmation and occupancy of that land
means much more rapid up bnilding
Of Oroyille, giving the town perma-
nept and substantial backing. While
helping the town Mr.. Work will find
II the most fortunate investment he
has ever made, for properly prepared,
and he would handle it in no other
way, that land, in conjunction with his
ADJACENT holdings, will make him more
money in few years than he could
Inc TO accumulate in the banking
business in life time, and a lifetime
long drawn out. There is something
more encouraging in proposition like
this, fostered and backed by a home
man like Mr.. Work, than an hundred
promises of prospective enterprises,
that saddens the optomistic booster by
50 often dying a-borning.

pointment of A. Signs to fill the unex-
pired term of Councilman Mills, who,
becoming weary of the job, resigned.
Mr.. Signs is conservative, clear head

is an experienced and skillful master

RUNS UP into BIG MONEY
Jas. Jackson, the Cattle Buyer,
Pot $4,000 in Circulation
In This County.

rev people really realize how large
and extensive the stock business of
TINS county is. or what an important
Item Of income to those engaged in
that industry. Hundreds of beef cat
tie go out OF the county every year.
Cattle raising is not carried on upon
the vast scale it was before the rich
bunch grass lands of the valleys and
benches were appropriated by the
homesteader and home builder. Then
a few individual, grazed vast herds on
the hills, and had free sway to Craze
without let or hinderance Now it is
the many with smaller bands that
turn out the yearly yield of beef, the
receipts therefrom 90 TO benefit larg-
er number Of people both directly and
indirectly, as all the money so received
gets into general circulation. The re-
duction of the limits Of the range is
certainly better for everybody.
1t requires capital and and knowl-
edge of the business TO embark in buy
ing for the market. and this is another
point not generally known. 1t is for
tunate indeed that Orovile had a
buyer who created marked for a
great many cattle this year. James
Jackson of the local meat dealing firm
of Evans * Co., has done the extensive
buying worthy OF special mention.
Since the beginning of delivery of beef
cattle last fall Mr.. Jackson has paid
out the handsome sum of over 100000.
This money has not gone into the hands
of few, but it was distributed among
scores of small owners. OF course this
is only one buyer of many who have
put money in Okanogan cattle this fall.
and the total receipts from that source
must run up into huh figures. The
people of the place should appreciate
the presence in their midst of firm
able to handle such volume of busi-
ness, and 10y 50 doing attract the seller
to the, town. The community largely
benefits from these sales. The owners
drive their stock here for delivery, and
after receiving their pay considerable
of that money finds its way to the busi-
ness houses of the place. Mr.. jackson
is personally popular with the stock
men. rs he treats them right and pays
the top prices. A> 4 buyer he is here
to repeat the purchase every year, and
in the course OF time he will make
Oroville the largest, as it is now the
best, cattle market in the northwest.

LOOKS LIKE A HALL

The city council is still figuring on
a modern, up-to-date, convenient town
hall, and the structure will probably
be constructed early in the spring. 1t
is not to be an elaborate affair. the
building of which would bankrupt the
town, yet it will be neat and ORNATE
and will answer all necessary purposes
for years to come.

PROOF OF VALUE OF MISSIONS
Caused Spending Of immense Sum OF
English Money in the United
States.

The following from the Wall Street
Journal presents a commercial argu-
ment in favor OF missions. The in
stance mentioned Is but one Of long
list which have appeared in mission
airy history. From the standpoint of
business it pays to send missionaries
The government of Japan in fur
tberance of its South Manchurian rail-
way scheme went into the English
money market and borrowed 0,000,-
900. When the British found out that
this money, borrowed in London, had
been spent in the United States for
railroad supplies, they kicked up a
pretty row in the house of commons.
But there was nothing to be done
about it, SO the question was dropped
The reason why the Japanese gov
ernment spent English money in the
United States was due solely to the
fact that the Japanese engineers In
charge of the work had been educated

Your Work and Your World.

You are never worth much until
some one needs you. Happiness de-
pends on being useful, or, at least, be-
lieving that we are. The superfiuous
person is always in danger. He is out
of place in a universe SO ordered that
its perfection depends on each one
taking his place and doing his work.
There never was normal life of
which 1t could not be truly said that
the world had need Of him.
1t is better to make the vain mans
error of thinking that the fate OF the
world hangs in suspension, dependent
on your existence, than to fly to the
opposite extreme and to lie inert, be-
lieving that 1t makes no difference
whatever whether you are alive or
