"A GOOD PROOF.

Louis f. de Pourtales made final proof
upon his desert land entry before the
local L. S. commissioner THURSDAY
During his term of Office the commits
sloner has not infrequently taken sim
llar proofs. but never before where the
entryman has so faithfully complied
with the provisions of the law, or
where expenditures were so far beyond
the requirements. Generally the man
who makes proof on public land sails
as close to the requirements of the law
as is safe to establish claim. In the
case of Mr.. Pourtales it was different.
He did much more work and spent
much more money than just enough to
insure approval. But Mr.. Pourtales
took the land for the purpose of i'm
proving it, 1t is located on the east
side of the Okanogan river, few miles
below Orovllle. His object was to re-
claim it and make an orchard. He has
done both. A gasoline pump of large
capacity supplies the requisite mois-
ture. A large acreage is out in fruit
trees, and those trees are healty, Wig
orous and making wood rapidly. This
has been accomplished only by long
hours of patient labor and the expen-
diture of much money. Slow it was
indeed making an orchard, but now it
is made, and in few years the owner
will be reaping rich reward for his
industry. When filed upon the land
was desert in fact as well as in name,
and SO far as being able to produe to-
tally without value. With water in
abundance and growing trees it is to-
day worth thousands OF dollars. 1t is
the application of Drawn and brain
that has made this change of value in
so short time.

SHIPPING SALTS.

Under the direction of f.. Mccain
mon force of men has been at work
for the past few days getting out car
load of salts, from the salts lake u
short distance west of town, for ship
ment to Spokane. The lake, of con
siderable extent, is one solid deposit,
the depth unknown, and all the work
men have to do is to scrape it up from
the surface. The stuff is sacked, and
a sufficient quantity has been gathered
up from off very small fraction OF the
lakes surface to fill a car. The ship
ment will be made Tuesday. The guam
tity that can be gathered is merely
problematical. Mr. McCammOn rough
" estimates it at several million tons.
Even should it fall short of that esti-
mate a ton or two, there seems to be
enough in sight to supply the markets
of the world, as the stuff is nota break
fast food, neither does it enter largely
into daily consumption. The deposit
is really remarkable freak of nature
in its extent, its purity, for it is gath
cred up as white as snow and free from
foreign matter, and its efficacy. If the
salts could only be put up by home
company, ready for use, it would be-
come a great industry, and yield riches
to the owners and operators. Now,
when YOU come to think about 1t, 1t Is
passing strange that the rampant con-
servationists in their eagerness to rob
the west of its fair heritage. do not
seize upon this lake and hold it for
the matarial and physical benefit OF
the etfete, that wants to lay toll on
everything that is western with value
in it. 1t would be no. surprise il Pom
dexter. who holds the view that west
ern states are incapable of caring for
its own. introduce a bill robbing the
sturdy western men of this small hold
ing. and providing for its conservation
to help feed the national treasury and
distribute the bulk of its value among
the states that in their improvidence
rioted in the destruction OF their own
resources. This may not come to pass,
vet as they want the timber, mineral
and the water powers why can they
not take all else they put their minds
on. Perhaps it is working an injury
to the owners to mention they have
such a valuable holding
