INCREASE OF POPULATION.

Prof w. G. Riste, another brother
OF the colony of Ristes so long located
in northern Okanogan, has joined his
brothers and will become a fixture in
this locality. Mr.. Riste is an educator
and has ruled in the school room for 30
years. Last year he was principal of
the Waterville schools. He spent the
summer in California, and came north
a short time ago from Pomona. Re-
Gently Mr.. Riste purchased the Indiar
Jewett allotment of 32O acres, in the
Similkameen valley, near the British
Columbia line. and close to the ranch
of his brother AL. The professor was
in town Friday last to meet his daught-
er, Miss Fay. He expects to farm at
least 100 acres of his new possession
next year. Teddy would be delighted
with Mr.. Riste, as he is not in the race
suicide class. His family, besides him.
self and wife, consists of fourteen child
rem. This addition is not only a healthy
padding of the census, but gives us
more good, progressive citizens, and
that is what the county is decidedly in
need of.

not seen much of it when he called at
this Office, but what had come under
his eye looked good to him. He will
travel over and spy out the favorable
spots in northern Okanogan, and if he
becomes satisfied upon further investi-
gatloI that his first impressions were
well-founded he will become a fixture.
While in this office he observed that
the russian thistle and Jim Hill mus
tard are taking the fields of Adams
county, and strongly advised that the
authorities of this county be impressed
with the necessity of making war
against the encroachment of these nox-
ious weeds before they have inundated
the whole country. He says combined
effort at the start will accomplish what
no amount of work can after the weeds
get firm foothold. A level-headed.
intelligent gentleman Mr.. Philpott
seems to be, and he would be a valu-
able addition to the population.

WINTER ADJUSTMENTS.

Through the medium OF the walker

kind Walker puts on the road. Last
winter several of the companies IL

while they failed in securing the pa

ances merited, those who were so 1or-

NEW ROUND HOUSE.

Monday force of railroad carpen-

house at this place. the structure to
occupy the site of the one destroyed
by fire several months ago. There will
be no increase of size in the new build
ing. 1t will be a three stall round
house, as before. One improvement
will be an addition containing hose and
appliances for extinguishing fires. Had
the old house been so equipped the
fire that wiped it out could have been
readily extinguished. Tom Collier, who
has the job of keeping the engines in
running order, looks with much COM
placency upon the prospect of getting
under cover, as since the fire he has
had to do his work with the sky for a
roof, in all kinds of weather, and it is
getting trihe nippy on the edges to
be puttering around all hours of the
night in the open.

LIVE WIRE ORGANIZATION
The North Washington Power
Company In the Field
For Business.
INCREASING POWER CAPACITY
Will Supply the Demand For En-
ergy in This Vicinity no Mat
ter How Great it May Be.

The North Washington Power COM
pany is in the field to do business, to go
out into the highways and byways and
get business. A long time lease was
taken by this corporation on the Sim
ilkameen falls power plant with the
primary object of supplying power for
working the mines and operating mills
at Republic, but while carrying out
that object it was not the intention to
ignore any local demand for power or
lights that might arise. The company
is made up of active, wide awake, push
ing investors, who are not in the ven-
ture for recreation. They do not pro-
pose to sit supinely down and and wait
until business comes to them, but reach
out after business wherever there is
an opportunity of securing patrons.
Already the number of consumers in
Oroville has very materially increased
since the new company assumed man
agement, and extension of lines to
reach others clamoring for service is
contemplated in the spring. These
service lines are independent of the
long distance transmission line to Re-
public. There is steady growing de-
mand for electric power and lights in
this vicinity, and it is the intention of
the company to steadily increase the
capacity of the plant as the demand
upon it grows. The company has con-
troll of one of the finest power sites in
the state, and all that is required to
produce increased power is the addi-
tion of necessary machinery, as there is
hardly any limit to the water that
could be utilized to generate power
now running to waste.
AS indicating the determination of
the new organization to be prepared to
meet the expected increase in the de-
mand for service J. E. Mcfarland, sup
erintendent of The North Washington
Power company, of Republic, arrived
last Friday, accompanied by z. +. Mer-
rill, chief electrician of the company,
and an electric expert of Spokane. The
party spent some time at the power
plant securing data and measurements
for an additional installation of 600 k,
W. unit, which would give total ca
pacity of approximately 400 horse
power at the plant. The expert, rep
resenting large Spokane concern,
will submit bid for the installation of
the unit to be installed. The party
were outgoing passengers Saturday.
Mr.. Mcfarland states that from time
to time larger units to the plant will
be installed to meet all requirements
as the needs of the district demand

A BELATED ITEM.

1t happened in Oroville Friday even
ing, October I, and shame be it said
this paper failed to have mention OF
the important event in its last issue.
There is hardly an excuse for fall
down of the kind, and yet. Refer
ence is made to the marriage OF Asses
sor c. d. Kloppenburg and Miss Myrtle
Byron, of Chesaw. The knot was tied
by Rev. A. Bauman at the place and
on the date mentioned. If anybody
about town besides the revered gentle
man knew of the transaction two re-
porters were unable to dig 'em up.
The name of C. D. Kloppenburg, with
the affix "and wife," kind of indistinct
and shakey, as though the writer had
not as yet formed habit of hanging
the word on to his signature, was OBJ
served on the Peerless hotel register
the morning following the union, and
naturally the reporter was startled,
for Klop was single man SO far as
known, unless he had very recently
taken the plunge. The proprietor OF
the hotel thought wedding had taken
place, but where, when, how, or who
the party of the other part was he was
ignorant For some reason the groom
neglected to show up, or even drop a
line, possibly owing to the spasm OF
conjugal happiness, and the force on
this paper was as ignorant OF the par
ticulars as though the wedding had
wedding had take place in Timbucto'
Not ray of light could be thrown on
the subject by anybody, and fearing to
hazard guess this paper was vacant as
to the transaction. 1t may be added as a
sort of postscrip that as late in the day
as it is the GAZETTE extends hearty
congratulations, and trusts sincerely
that the step taken is the Inauguration
of long life of matrimonial bliss ac-
companied by material prosperity

ODD FELLOWS TO ENTERTAIN.

The local Odd Fellows are putting
up an entertainment for the evening
of October 26, which should strike a
responsive chord with the public on
account of the unique fact that the af-
fair is free to all who attend, and it is
not customary to give away pleasure
of that kind up in this country. The
occasion is that of the semi-annual cele-
bration of the founding of the order,
a custom established with the forma-
tion of the lodge, which will take place
in Sigrist hall, and to which the public
is cordially invited. The crowd should
be record breaker.
