THE OROvILLE EXHIBIT.

On this page view is published of
the Oroville exhibit as it appeared at
the Spokane fair. 1t was not so elab-
crate as to pail on the sight of visitors,
but included modest, neat and COM
prehensive display of what the soil in
and around Oroville is capable of pro-
ducing. 1t was arranged in an attrac-
tive manner and drew more attention
and favorable comment than any SINH
lar exhibit at the fair The booth was
in charge of j. r. Eaton and Dell
Hart, and they were kept busy at all
times answering inquiries. The peo-
pie of this place never spent money to
better advantage than in this in
stance. Already the country Is feeling
the good effects, for many are asking
as to lands in this vicinity, and num-
Der of sales were made on the strength
of the display. 1t is not so much the
barter and sale that is beneficial, but
the fact the buyers are hustlng and
progressive class, making the invest
ments with the object of thorough i'm
provement. Once people know what
we have up here, and get them started
this way, and Okanogan will rapidly
fill up

OLD SPOKANITES.

The writer was most agreeably SUR
prised Tuesday by a call from Theo.
Reed and his son Lyman, of Spokane.
Back in the sos Mr. Reed and the edi-
tor OF this paper were neighbors, but
drifting apart it is fully 20 years since
we last met. 1t was extremely pleas
ant to again meet old friends and neigh
bors, finding the lad in short trousers
when last seen grown up to clean and
vigorous manhood, and the father of
much ripper and whittier years than in
the old days, we'll and hearty with
every evidence of worldly prosperity.
Father and son came to Oroville from
Spokane with l.. L. Work to look over
the country, and they are well salts
fled with the outlook for a bright fu-
ture. AS noted elsewhere Mr.. Reed,
jr., will have charge of an Office for
Mr.. Work in Spokane.

TO IMPROVE "A TRACT.

w. r.. Rash and his son John have
entered into contract with Messrs.
Ellis and Forde to clear off ..and break
out 80 acres embraced in the old In
dian allotment on the fiat across the
Okonogan river, close in to Orovile,
which they recently secured by pul-
chase. The contract provides for the
preparation of the ground for tree
planting by the first of April. Atthat
time owners will set out the entire
tract to fruit. AS means OF irrriga-
tion and water supply for domestic
purposes two wells are to be sunk, one
at the east and the other at the west
end of the tract. These gentlemen
believe that the way to make fruit
lands valuable is to improve them, and
in this case will put their theory into
practice,

OUT FOR BUSTN ESS.


Those who may want electric power
10 this vicinity are to be accommo-
dated by the North Washington Power
company. The prime object the com
pany has in view just at this time is to
rush the power to Republic for use in
Me mines. But this company is bus,

means business. 1t is the purpose OF
ine company not only to extend a line
DOWN the river to meet the demands
10 that direction, but in other direc-
tons wherever demand may exists,
or be created, for power. These. eX-
tensions will be made in the spring

AN OLD TIMER.

Jas G. Callahan and family, late OF
C.,onconully, have been visiting with
me parents of Mrs. Callahan, in Oro-
vile, for some days. Mr.. Callahan was
one OF the early residents of LOOMS;
where he was engaged in business tor
years. A few months ago he moved TO
Conconully, where he conducted sa-
loon, and the result of the local option
election put him to the bad. He may
decide to take up his residence in one
OF the larger cities of the state. Whlle
The business he has been engaged IN

Spurs may be handy in agitating a

one tries to eXtricate foot so orna-

Mr.. Bottomley found such to be the
case when he tried to pull loose, and
continued in his painful and precarious
position until he could sustain the pain
no longer. Then he took chances of
being trampled into the earth and in
duced the horse to vacate his resting
place. Fortunately the rider escaped
the hoofs of the struggling steed, and
got off without broken bones. The
bruises were enough to remind him of
his painful experience for some DAYS.

HELP THE CAUSE

The public schools opened again Mon

ents should lend their aid to make the
school year a successful one. The
teachers are anxious and willing to do
their part, and Miss Donald, at the
head of the school, is energetic and
earnest in her work. Children should
attend regularly and apply themselves
closely to their tasks. An encourage
ing word occasionally from the patrons
of the school will tighten the load for
the teachers and cheer them on in
their work.

FLouRiSHING UNDER DIrFlCtrIrIrs

me ABUNDANT water NAV he very
essential IN insuring the growth and
ueVeiopment of fruit trees in this val
ley, IL mas been demonstrated in more
than one instance that it is not abso-
iutely indispensable. The fact that the
SOIL Is responsive without the aid of
frequent applications of water is illus
trateQ IN an experiment conducted by
Chas. +. Sigrist this season. In the
west part OF town, with frontage on
the Similkameen river, and immedi-
ately adjoining the railroad tract, is an
irregular strip of land Mr.. Sigrist had
cleared off, broken out and planted to
trees this spring. This orchard covers
eight acres. the fruit set out peaches.
and the number set out 800. If Mr..
Slgrlst had gone out hunting for dry
spot he could hardly have found one
more deficient in natural moisture.
Dust rolled up when it was plowed, and
dust has been the predominating fea-
ture ever since. Added to its aridness
under normal conditions the season has
been one of exceptional dryness. Yet
visit to that tract at this time will
surprise those who believe that only
through the stimulating aid of water
anything can be grown on the fiat.
Mr.. Sigrist was unfortunate in getting
late delivery for some of his trees,
and naturally there would have been
a loss among them had the conditions
for transplanting been the most favor
able. Yet Notwithstanding every dis
advantage there has not been Is per
cent loss in the trees set out, and the
living trees today shrw a healthy and
vigorous growth. In defiance of the
long continued heat, and accompanying
drouth, and lack of an artificial supply
of water, these trees have fourished
and promise to make profitable peach
orchard. 1t would not be safe to de-
pend upon chance in setting out Or
chards generally, but this experiment
surely goes to show that the soil of the
valley is particularly adapted to fruit
culture, and demonstrates that with
proper preparations for water sup
ply, which is easy where the supply of
water is inexhaustible, fruit culture
can be made an industry of great profit
around and about OrOville.
