AS TO LAYING STEEL.

There seems to be some uncertainty
at present as to when steel will he
laid on the Oroville-Pateros branch.
The grade is practically finished, but
grading is not all that is necessary to
prepare the roadbed for the rails.
There are bridges, culverts and trestles
to put in. There are no long bridges
or extensive trestles, so that crew of
bridge men could speedily supply that
deficiency. 1t has been given out
through the press that steel will no
be laid until spring. This is true
should the winter commence early and
prove to be severe. If the season hap
pens to be mild one, the work OF
completing the line even down to
ironing it will go on this winter. The
company is now replacing the 10-pound
rails on the Kalispel cutoff with 30
pound rails, and it is the intention to
transfer the lighter rails to the Oro-
Vile branch. OF course this is merely
a prevailing rumor, coming from relia-
BILE sources, but as the railroad is not
in the habit of taking the public into
it's confidence, nothing positive is
known as to intentions regarding the
Oroville branch, and the people living
on the line will probably remain
ignorant until the track laying GRE W

PRIME GRAIN.

Some days ago f. b. Newland, one
OF the pioneer ranchers of the Nelson
country, and a gentleman known pretty
/ well throughout the length and breadth
OF the county, left at this Office for ex-
hlbition several sheafS of wheat and
, oats rs sample of what the upands
will produce in probably one of the
most unfavorable seasons since land
was first broken out for tillage in east
ern Washington. These samples would
be pronounced exceptionally good in
. the most favorable season, and goes to
show what careful and intelligent farm
ing can accomplish in the face of dis
couraging drawbacks. The same kind
OF farming as followed by Mr. Newland
viii produce the same results in any
part Of the county where grain can,
and IS, grown without the sustaining
grace of irrigation The wheat is of
the little club and blue stem varities,
seemingly the best adapted to this soil
and climate. The heads are very heavy,
the grain hard, well formed and plump
The oat sheaf is wonderful exhibit
OF the fecundity of the soil, and the
yield the husbandman, as rule, can
depend upon, Many people have been
attracted by the display since it was
left in the office, and are amazed that
in the face of so many adverse reports
any such grain could be found in the
county. Mr.. Newland gives as the rea-
son of his success that the grain was
planted early in the spring. Late sown
grain has in most instances failed to
mature, succumbing to the long drouth
and protracted hot spell. Fall grown
grain can never be depended upon, as
the snow fall is not always sufficient to
insure the grain from freezing out.
Such grain as was cut for threshing on
Mr.. Neyland's place will yield about
as heavily to the acre as any year since
he has carried on farming. He has
large acreage under cultivation. Some
OF the late sown grain did not give
~ DililoC VI a y lOlI my llS lOI
the thresher, and it was cut for hay.
He has sufficient good grain to insure
the garnering of large tonnage,
which is fortunate indeed, as prices in
this locality promise to reach a high
and remunerative figure before spring.
1t will thus be realized that Okla
hogan county is adapted to diversified
farming, with assurance of fair COM
pensation - those engaged in the in
dustry. The valley lands. wherever
water can be diverted upon them, are
unsurpassed for fruit culture. The
climate is ideal, the soil of the proper
constituents toinsure large and certain
Weld, while the trees will flourish and
bear fruit to a great old age. The up
lands are prime for grain, and expert
euce shows that a total failure is out
of the question, even in unfavorable
seasons the yield is sufficiently heavy
TO be profitable. Heretofore produc-
tion has only kept pace with the home
demand, rs there has been no means
Of reaching outside markets, but with
the completion of the road down the
valley. placing rail communication in
close touch with the greater portion
of the grain producing territory, more
attention viii be paid cereals, and Ok
anogau county will become an exporter
to be counted upon.

THEY THAT GO DOWN TO
THE SEA IN SHIPS.

A beautiful custom associated
with the observance of Memorial
day, has within recent years become
established in Gloucester, Mass.
Flowers are gathered and strewn
upon the waters of the harbor in
memory of the men of the fishing
fleet who have sailed for the Banks
and never come back. The senti-
ment which conceived this custom
is pictured in a larger national sense
on the cover of the Memorial Day
Number of The Youths Companion.
Columbia is there depicted scatter
ing flowers on the sea in memory of
her sons whose graves are in the
unfathomed depths of ocean. The
blossoms CLEAN against the dark
blue of the sea, and a squadron at
anchor in the distance fires a salute
to the nations lost sailors.

KEEN POLITICAL MAXIMS.

There is fun of keen, dry sort in
"The Ramrodders," the new novel
by Holman Day just published by
the Harpers. The figure of the
"boss, " Thelismer Thornton, is
drawn full-size, and it promises to
take it's place as a truthful por-
trait of that type of politician.
Many of his observations on politics
will be quoted for their truth and
wit.

odd you ever know a man to get.
anywhere in politics, if he didn't

"You'll find political halos, when
you get too near to 'em, something
like restaurant doughnuts-holes
surrounded by poor cooking"
"There are some things in politics
that have to be done as gentle and
careful as picking a rose petal off a

ideals are blasted good in their

Reform in politics is popular
just as long as it doesn't hit indi-

THREE VICTORIES FOR B. A.

THREE VICTORIES FOR B. A.
Last week B. A. added three
more victories to her list.
Thursday afternoon, Newbury
Seminary was defeated here by a
score of 21-0. Littleton High was
scheduled, but failed to appear,
50 this team was substituted.
Friday the team took a trip to
Plymouth, n. H. and succeeded in
defeating Plymouth High 90, in
one of the best games Of the season.
B. A. hit Anderson freely while
Shumway kept Plymouth's hits
well scattered. Such victory is a
distinction we'll worth having and
the school may justly be proud Of
1t. This same team plays here to-
morrow, Saturday.
The following day, Saturday, B.
A. played at Lisbon, defeating the
High School there, 100. Lisbon
failed to get either hit or run off
Shumway, no one reaching second
base.
Don't forget that Plymouth High
plays here tomorrow, Saturday
a game which will undoubtedly
be the best of the season.
Also, Monday, Memorial Day,
B. A. plays the fast st. Johnsbury
Academy team. Remember last
years great game and be on hand.
The game will not start until after
the exercises in Village Hall, so

Easter Season.

The approach Of Easter this season
kindle in the hearts Of the Christian
people the triumphant hope Of immor-
atty and humanity seems to take on a
renewed inspiration, the fires Of faith
and confidence is emphasized. There
seems to be hope, trust, confidence
in the future life which is common to
all races. It is inherant phenomena of
nature. Yet this Easter season sym
bolical of the Jewish passover or the old
pagan festival of returning spring or
o resurrected life. Our churches ought
to hold Easter as pentecostal feast
which proclaims the divine, the immor-
tai in man which is indeed the founda-
tion Of religious life. Then let us lift up
our hopes. our prayers, our ideas, our
love and our Christian fellowship to
the risen Christ triumphant in heaven.
