Very much surprised were those liv-
ing in this locality who have met the
individual to read in the issue of the
Spokesman Review of last Friday a
dispatch from Boston conveying the
information that G. Fl. Brooks had been
arrested by the federal authorities
charged with the use Of the mails in a
scheme to defraud, and furthermore
it was the second time that Brooks had
fallen under the ban OF the postoffice
department on the same charge. One
of the promotions included in Brooks
alleged crooked work is the Okanogan
Development company.
So far as can be ascertained no one
knows the nature Of manipulation rela-
tive to the Okanogan Development
company, unless it may he the dispo-
sition of stock in an accumulation OF
mining claims located on the west slope
of Palmer mountain. 1t is nearly two
years ago that C. H. Brooks first made
his appearance at LOOMS, and he has
made one or two trips into the county
since his initial appearance. Upon the
occasion of his first visit he readily in
gratiated himself into the confidence
of those whom he met, as operations
in the way Of mining had ceased, the
outlook discouraging and any promise
of activity won the endorsement OF the
public. His stay was brief, but he To-
Gated several claims, and subsequently
added to the collection until he accu-
mulated large group. He negotiated
for the purchase Of the Gerhard Claims
but deal finally fell through after q
small payment had been made. Mr..
Brooks sent out an expert who made
favorable report upon the holdings
and some work was done in the nature
of development under the charge OF a
resident of Loomis. Nothing has been
done on the claims for some months
and it was generally understood that
Brooks had abandoned that field.
To what extent Mr.. Brooks and his
associates are guilty Of the crime
charged will be revealed later when
the case comes on for trial. One thing
sure those living in Okanogan county
who placed confidence in the individual
feel that they were taken in. 1t is not
the first time that smooth operator
has played his part upon the stage IN
this upper country. In this instance
no one was touched financially by the

Frank Lintz, the prosperous LOOMS

livering a consignment of hop dope.

the winter.
The Walker combinations seem to
run against hard luck when billed for
Oroville. The Robert Meikle company
was on the boards for "Wednesday

western terminus, and the train upon
upon which the troupe was to reach

A WORTHY OFFICIAL.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. ID. Kloppenburg
stopped over in Oroville Tuesday night
on their way to Conconully from Che
saw. Mr.. Kloppenburg is candidate
for assessor to succeed himself. Po-
litically he is not of the brand this
paper supports, but it is no crime to
give due credit to worthy official,
even if he may differ in politics. 1t
can be truly said that Mr.. Kloppen-
burg is one of the most advanced as
SCISSORS, in method and manner of con-
Quoting the details of his office, in the
state. BY training he is especially
fitted for carrying on the work, and
his record during the past year is one
that any man could well feel proud Of
When Mr.. Kloppenburg entered upon
the duties of the position the Office was
in a state of chaos. There were no re-
liable records, no data that could be
depended on. Things had been run
haphazzard. There was an absolute
absence of system. Every new official
followed his own bent, with nothing
to start from in the way of intelligent
information. Considering the condi-
ton of the records it is only wonder
that former assessors managed to do
as well as they did. When Mr.. Klop-
penburg assumed Office he commenced
a work of reformation, shaping order
out of disorder. A system of detailed
plats, lists, statistics and data were
gathered and compiled. This required
infinite labor, and considerable ex-
pense, but it was something that had
to be done, and will not have to be
done over again. The new order of
things that he established places the
office in shape so that his successor, be
it this year or two years hence, will
have no trouble taking up the threads
and continuing the work in a system
attic and intelligent manner. 1t has
been customary, as a rule, to concede
to county officials who have made good
a second term, and it is pretty gener-
ally admitted that Mr.. Kloppenburg
is entitled to another term as reward
for the creditable manner in which he
has performed his very trying duties
during the past two years.

SALTS COMPANY lORGANrzED

1t now looks as though the product
of the Epson salts lake is to be handled
in commercial form, and an income
derived therefrom by placing the in
gredient upon the market in a manner
that will insure the largest returns to
the operators. Mention has been made
on several occasions through these col.
umns of this singular freak of nature,
large lake, wherein the presence of
salts usurps the place of water. OF
course at some time in the remote
past, water impegnated with this salts
in solution was the element that pre-
vailed, but by deposits through the
process of evaporation there is now
little in sight except dazzling surface
Of immaculate crystalization, the depth
Of which is matter only of onjecture.
So far as research has been made no
bottom has been discovered. BY right
Of location several residents of Oroville
are interested in this lake, which was
taken up under the mineral laws, and
they are f. McCammon, A. Signs, w.
c. Hancock, r. Coyle and S. Rayborn.
No returns have ever been derived
from the property, as the owners did
not have the means to put the salts
upon the market in the proper pack
ages, and freight rates are so high that
il would not pay to ship in bulk.
1t now looks as though arrangements
had been perfected whereby these salts
may be made source of profit A
local joint stock company has been Or
ganized under the name of the Oroville
International Salts company, with
capitalization of $4,000, in shares of
$l.OO each, the object being to place
the salts on the market in shape that
insures some returns to the operators.
The offers are Chas. F. Sigrist, presi-
dent; Ira w. Follis, treasurer John
E. Reese, secretary; S. Raybourn, w.
c. Hancock and E. Coyle, directors.
The salts are SO free from impurities
that it does not require expensive treat
ment to prepare it for consumption.
1t is to be put up in commercial forms
by packing in cartons OF various sizes,
and in five pound sacks When so pre-.
pared it will be disposed of directly to
the trade. The company will be at no
great expense preparing to start the
work of packing. A building is under
way at the lake in which to store sew
eral car loads of salts so it can be pro-
tected from moisture, and a depot, or
storage building, will be secured near
the depot.
1t is not expected that the company
wifi pay dividends Immediately after
the product is introduced to the trade,
but as the virtue of the salts becomes
generally known demand will be
created that will keep the company
busy filling orders. When a regular
trade is worked up then is when re-
turns will commence coming in, and as
there is supply on hand practically
inexhaustible the profits should be
steady for years to come. If a success,
and there is no reason why it should
not be, the enterprise will prove an
important addition to the industries of
this upper country, source of sub
stantial returns to the stockholders,
and utilization of one the natural re-
sources of locality rich in resources
