4 REAL PIONEER.

Hon. r. II. Hutchinson, Doughty
Dick of political and pioneer memory,
stopped over in Oroville Monday night
on his way from his home at Spokane
to Conconully, where he was going to
look over mining claims that he has
held for upward of % years. Mr.. Hutch
inson has but recently recovered from
the most serious illness a man ever
had and get over it. His life hung in
the balance for weeks, and at times it
seemed that the weight of a hair would
tip the scales against him. But Dick
is endowed with bull dog tenacity.

THE SOIL Is FAT.

Few even among those who follow
farming for living really realize the
capability for production of the soil of
this valley, because few have made the
tests and experiments necessary to
bring about the best results. They
have not got down to combination of
water and intense cultivation, the cru
cial test to demonstrate what can be
done with Okanogan real estate. One
OF our citizens, E. McCammon, has this
year. on small scale, demonstrated
what the application of muscle and
close attention to details will do in the
cultivation of valley lands. At his
home place in the north part of town
covering three or four lots, he has been
experimenting in gardening, and what
he has accomplished seems incredible.
The garden has been, and is today, one
of the beauty spots and attractions OF
the town, and the family is daily en-
joying therefrom, this late in the sea-
son, fresh vegetables. One of the ac-
complishments Mr.. McCammon can
boast OF is that of raising two crops of
potatoes in one season, using sprouted
eyes of the potatoes of the first crop as
seed for the second crop. That sure is
going some working double taxation
on the soil. He has grown three diff
ferent kind of vegetables from the same
bed, rotating the crops. Ye editor had
lettuce from Mr.. McCammon's garden
last week, the third or fourth crop for
the season, that was fresh, and crisp
and palatable as the first produced in
the spring. OF course this has only
been accomplished through hard and
constant labor, but the result was fully
worth the eXertion, and there is sat
isfaction in giving an ocular demon
stration of the possibilities of the most
responsive dirt that is to be found any
where. The crowning glory of Mr..
McCammon' garden is an apple tree.
There are number of fruit trees with
in the enclosure, but one in particular
surpasses all others, and appeals to the
eye of the passer by. 1t is of symet-
rical growth, with vigorous branches
spread out in proper proportion to the
stem. But it is the wealth of the rosy
load it bears that creates wonder and
admiration. The sturdy limbs bend
low under their burden of rich, ripe
fruit, fruit that for shape and color can
not be excelled. Formed to perfection
nature has painted the fruit most
lovely, lucious red, distributing the
shades as no artist could initiate. The
tree is charming picture of fruit in
its perfection. If it was such fruit that
Eve plucked no one could blame her,
indeed it were surprising she confined
herself to single sample.

HALLOWEEN PARTY.

The members of the Loomis Vocal
club have arranged to give a Hal
lowe'en party in the Congregational
church Saturday evening, October 30.
Mention of this coming attraction for
that camp has been made before, but
the entertainment promises worth
while and repetition of the announce
ment will have the effect of keeping
the event fresh in the minds of the
numerous readers of this paper IN that
place and vicinity. The vocal club
does things right when it prepares to
supply pleasure for the public; and the
social affair for Saturday night will be
fully up to the standard fixed by the
organization in the past. The church
will be crowded Saturday night, and
the crowd will enjoy a rare treat.
