GOOD IF CARRIED OUT.

1t is reported that there is another
project under way for putting water
on Whitestone Flat and portion OF
Horse Spring coulee, a large tract of
land admirable adapted to the growing
of fruit under irrigation, located a
short distance east of Loomis and only
some ten or eleven miles south OF Oro-
Vile. What the plans and intentions
of the promoters are deponeth sayeth
not, but any scheme aiming to cover
the vast area that is marked out for
reclamation involves the expenditure
of vast sum Of money. II 1t can he
carried out it will make of what IS now
q worthless and unproductive desert
the choicest orchard tracts in the coun-
ty, and make the land of great value.
1t is sincerely to be hoped the PROPOSE,
tion has something more substantial
behind it than hot air, and that 1t may
reach stage of completion before
Prince Pinchot issues ukase forbid
ding all western serfs and underlings
from meddling with natural resources
and water courses within the state, ant
which the people of the state are sup
posed to be incapable of handling.

BIG CATTLE SHIPM ENT.

One of the largest cattle deliveries
ever made in Oroville took place Mon
day. Oroville is unfortunate in losing
credit for shipments actually due TINS
station. Cattle delivered here are not
shipped from this point, but are driven
to Nelson, and there placed on cars.
The reason is that the railroad makes
a difference in the charges on car OF
cattle to Spokane of ST. between Mol
son and Oroville, and buyers save good
money by driving the few miles be-
tween the two points. Oroville is en-
titled to the credit of shipping train
of II cars of cattle this week, as they
were weighed in and delivered to the
buyers here. The cattle came from
the Loomis neighborhood, and was one
of the choicest lots sold this season.

MAKE THE CHANGE.

1t is the intention of the town auth
critics to open the main business
hfare, connecting the north and
south sides of the town, making 1t one
continuous street. The railroad cuts
the town in two, in disregard to street
connections, and the move is for the
purpose of correcting the awkward
situation and arrangements. Condem-
nation suits have been ordered com
menced against both the railroad and
southside townsite owners in order to
carry out the proposed improvement.
Every resident of the place having the
best interest of the town at heart re-
gardless of where his home or place OF
business may be therein, should be
heartily in favor of the proposed inn
provement. At present it is necessary
to make wide detour in driving be-
tween the north and south part OF
town. which is an Inconvenience and
an ugly Jog in the conformity of the
streets Such a change as is contem-
plated would add value to property,
. and why any one should oppose it is
mast finding out.

OFF FOR FLORIDA.

Capt. T.. V. Ruger left Monday for
Spokane, where he was to join his wife
who had proceeded him two or three
days, and from that city they will go
on to Florida, where they expect to
make their future home. Capt. Ruger
has been stationed in Okanogan county
as a customs officer for number Of
wears, first at Chesaw, and of late years
in Oroville. He was capable official,
and only departed from the town and
gave up the service on account OF poor
health For many months the captain
has suffered intensely from rheuma-
tism, being almost cripple therefrom,
and makes this move in hopes that in
change of climate he may find some
relief The departure of Capt. and
Mrs. Ruger leaves a vacancy IN the
community that will be hard to fill.
Their friends here trust that the cap
tain will speedily recover in the far
south, and that both himself and estim-
able lady find their new home all they
anticipate.

A FAITHFUL WORK Err.

Having completed his assessment
work on a couple of mining claims near
Golden Oscar f. Nelson passed through
Tuesday on his way to his home at
Boundary Falls, b. G. If any man ever
earned rich returns on an ample invest
ment of confidence and labor it is Mr..
Nelson. For years he has religiously
plodded across country from his home
to these claims, and solitary and alone
met the requirements of the law in
performing the required labor. 1t has
been slow progress prodding for the
ledge, as the formation is obstinate:
He has driven a tunnel 100 feet, and
has another 100 feet to go before the
ledge is reached. If it requires as
much time to bore in the next 100 feet
as it has the first MIR. Nelson will
reach the shady side of life before the
object in accomplished. Here's hoping
he will cut the ore, find it enormously
rich and live long to enjoy the pro-
ceeds thereof.

FAITH IN THE MINES.

Edward w. Caylor. of Columbs, Ohio,
spent Tuesday night in Oroville on his
way to Nighthawk and Loomis. Mr..
Cavlor is interested in the Favorite
and Copper World Extension mines,
He is not a stranger in the country,
as he visited and looked over the
mines several years ago. Mr.. Caylor
was largely instrumental in organizing
the Copper World Extension, and
through his influence much eastern
capital has been headed this way. He
is somewhat older than when the writ
er first met him, but his mind is as
bright and vigorous as ever, and his
confidence in this county mistaken.
The visit of Mr.. Caylor at this time
may be followed by the Inauguration
of enterprises that will prove boon
to the mining industry of this section.

BLACK DIAMONDS.

f. p. Gallaic, formerly of Chesaw,
but now engaged in the coal mining
business at Princeton, stopped over in
Oroville Monday night on his way to
Spokane. Mr.. Gallaic was very much
elated, and he had an elation coming.
After driving for months for his coal
vein last week the deposit was en-
countered, and proved to be ten feet
thick. 1t is not only Il magnificent
fuel deposit, insuring Mr. Gallaic of II
place among the diamond wearing
class, but the sample the gentleman
was exhibiting indicated it to be about
the best that has been struck in that
large coal zone. Red eyed conserva-
tionists have no call to throw fits over
rape of the natural resources by pred
atory wealth. Mr.. Gallaic is operating
in British Columbia, country that in
vites homeseekers and is not cruelty
ing capitalists willing to open up the
country.
