TOP FIGURES FOR BEEF
One of the Reasons for the
Present High Cost
Of Living.

Last week Jas. Jackson, buying for
the Pioneer Meat company, of this
place, paid $40 for one year old steer,
probably the highest price ever paid
for an ordinary beef animal ofthat age
for the Ietail market. A year ago Mr..
Jackson could, and did, buy beef cattle
of the same description for SIS per head.
Quoting this rapid and greatly in
creased price of live stock the consul
mer can realize one of the chief rea-
sons for the high cost of living. 1t re-
quires more to keep a family now than
ever before, everybody pretending to
give the subject thought are express
ing their views as to why this increase,
and there is a wide divergency Of opin-
ion as to the cause. Agitators and pc
litical fakirs are charging the condi-
tions up to the new tariff law, which is
really innocent of any perceptible ad-
dition to the poor, or those moderately
well to do. But it is strong card to
attract public attention, create dissatis-
faction, and those who use the argu-
ment do so through ulterior motives
The chief reason for the increased cost
of living is marked reductian in pro-
duction in comparison to the increase
of consumption, an advance in wages,
and growing tendency to greater ex-
~ a uq in Eyiy hn -,
every branch of industry Is receiving
more than ever before for what is pro-
duced, and the means for purchasing
even the luxuries of life are greater
and more equitably distributed than
ever before. The farmer seems to be
the greater gamer by the change of
conditions, and as has been so often
reiterated when the farmer prospers
the whole country is prosperous. 1t is
really strange that there should be
such an unsettled feeling, SO much agi-
tation of a condemnatory character, an
uneasy and restless spirit among the
people for a change that may lead to
no one knows what, when the country
-is-as prosperous as it is today. Posi-
bly, the last pinch of protracted hard
times was so long ago that the present
generation has forgotten it, but to
those who are bowled out in the early
9Os repetition of that experience is
something they do not want to see re-
peated.
But this is long dissertation to
grow out of $40 steer, and we cry the
readers pardon.

1t will soon be up to the voters of
Oroville to say whether we have wet
or dry town. Let us stop and consider
what we are doing. In our opinion
the only way we can stop the people
from drinking whiskey is to stop max
ing it. If the town goes dry the peo-
pie of Spokane, and other towns, get
our money. Those who want whiskey
will send to outside places and get it
by the Jug.
Let us think. Do those silver tongue
orators travel over the country, put up
at good hotels, pay railroad fare, wear
good clothes for nothing? Certainly
not. They are paid for talking l have
information that two well known saloon
men and politicians of Spokane gave
$4,000 to aid in making Oroville and
Okanogan county dry SO they can get
the jug trade. The names of these two
individuals can be given if necessary.
Consequently our people would drink
the whiskey and Spokane would get the
mOnev. We are the losers and they
are the gamers, when we are Justly
entitled to the revenue.
We are not in position to cut out
the revenue we receive from saloons,
which would amount to $500. We
could not stand the strain like older
towns. We would be at loss to raise
money enough to pay marshal to
guard our town while we sleep.
think we had better let things drift
along for a while until we get in a
shape to have dry town.
On the other hand we are only a
short distance from the Canadian line
where the saloon element could 60 and
build a hotel and beer garden on as
fine sheet of water as can be found
in the country, which would make an
attractive resort. This would be WIS.,
tied on Sundays and evenings, and the
travel might be profitable to the liv-
cry men, yet at the same time we
would have all the bad effects from
whiskey and lose $500 revenue, which
would paralyze the town.
We have an orderly town, the peo-
pie seem to be satisfied, and are get
ting along all right. We have built
two churches in the past year with a
wet town, but we do not know whether
we could build two under dry sys-
tenn. We only know what we have.
We are situated differently from
other places, and before making up
our minds should weigh the matter
carefully and vote for the best inter-
ests of our town. There is only one
way to look at this question, and that
is do we want to throw away $500, or
take it to improve our town? For the
matter Of whiskey, we get that any way
you vOte.-Adv.

A FLATTER|NG SHOWING
The Registration Books Show
a Healthy Increase in
the Population.

The registration books of the town
were closed last Friday, with l53
names listed. This is not very large
number of electors, nor does it indi-
cate that Oroville is place of any
great MAJ nitude; yet the showing is a
very creditable one, Indicating, as it
does, that Oroville not only polls the
largest vote of any town, or precinct,
in the county, but it is evidence of
steady growth and a recovery of the
ground lost at the time of the collapse
of the fungus boom that accompanied
the first construction of the railroad.
But the registration figures do not by
any means include all the residents OF
voting age in the town. There are
upward of a fourth again as many men
in Oroville as is represented on the
the poll books, who can not vote here
either on account of holding land or
because they have not been in the pre-
cinct long enough to perfect resi-
dence. There are between POO and 225
men of legal age citizens of Oroville.
If the town continues to grow as it
has so far this spring, the vote of Oro-
vile will cut considerable figure in
the county election next fall.
The increased registration and the
gradual accumulation of new people
is, oh f.,r hr, hot ;e
pleasing to note. 1t is an indication of
"a steady and healthy growth. The
new additions to the population are OF
class that would be credit to any
community. They are welcome re-
cruits, and indicate that people at a
distance have heard good reports of the
town and have aith in it's future. And
there are ample grounds for this con-
fidence. No new town in the west is
more fortunately located, not only as
to an incompatible site on two rivers
and lake, but owing to the varied re-
sources Immediately adjacent and trib-
utary to the place. From a scenic point
of view the position Of thess
rot be ss.rpasscd, ,~-s. hile-tlre climatic
conditions, if not ideal, are at least un-
surpassed in any part of the state. The
soil of the valley is the best for fruit
growing to be found anywhere, and al
ready a vast tract bordering the cor
porate limits is being reclaimed, which
in a few years will be veritable Eden.
The one enterprise will encourage 9TH
ers, until the whole surrounding coun-
try will be continuous orchard. Then
one of the most favorable features is
that Oroville is to be railroad center.
Besides the main line extending from
Spokane to tide water, the Wenatchee
branch is under construction to be COM
pleted within year, and there is no
longer any doubt about the branch to
be built northward to connect with the
Canadian Pacific. With all these roads
in operation, which will come about
within the next twelve months, COM
bined with it's other advantages, it
would seem impossible to prevent Oro-
vile from speedily becoming large,
attractive and flOurishing CITY,
