GONE TO MONTANA.

Mr.. and Mrs. AL. Sailing were out
going passengers Saturday morning
bound for Horse Plains, Montana,
where Mr.. Sailing has secured the po-
sition of manager of large ranch.
The young man is industrious and trust
worthy and will no doubt push to the
front in his new home. He has many
friends here that trust he will find his
position pleasant one and that he
will prosper far beyond his expecta-
tions, His wife was Edessa Mcdonald,
who grew up from childhood in Oro-
vile, her father having been deputy
collector of customs here for years be-
fore there was any town.

SIZING UP HIGHWAYS,

County Surveyor McGuin spent Sat-
urday and Sunday in Oroville, called
here to unravel tangle over a county
road the railroad people had blockaded,
much to the annoyance and inconven-
ience of the public. Said road is loca-
ted on the hill side east of town. Nc
started the matter on the way to be
Strengthened out before returning to
Conconully. By-the-way, it may be
mentioned right here that Mr.. McGuin
is the republican candidate for county
surveyor, and is entitled to the united
support of all the people, not because
his republican, although that would
be grounds enough, but especially be-
cause he is frst-class engineer and
personally a corking good fellow. He
now holds the office by appointment,
and has proved himself an exception
ally capable man in the position. Hav-
ing made a creditable record he should
be retained to continue the good work.

WATER PRJECT.

The proposed project to carry water
on the lands on Whitestone fiat and
large portion of Horse Spring coulee
looks very much like a sure 60. The
parties behind the proposition are in
earnest, and are not only earnest but
energetic. Preliminary work on the
construction of the ditch has already
commenced. 1t is late in the season
to start in on scheme of such magni-
tude, but plans can be formulated and
pushed in the spring. 1t is tremen-
dous undertaking, yet if carried out a
vast acreage now practically useless
can be reclaimed, and made the choic-
est fruit lands in eastern Washington.
1t will be grand undertaking if car
ried to a practical success, and every
body familiar with the situation trusts
that success will reward the enterpris-
ing men behind it.

ANOTHER ORCHARD

Geo. Fl. Ellis and Jas. E. Forde have
sold to John E. Peterson, of Spokane,
the old Southworth place, on the east
side of the Okanogan river, few miles
south of Oroville, The consideration
is not made public, but it is understood
that the price was low, as the buyer
proposed immediate Improvement, and
as the sellers have a large amount OF
fruit land in the county they consider
ed it a stroke of business to sell at re-
duced figures to buyer who would
make extensive improvements, thus
adding value to other property, and at
the same time secure another desir-
able family to aid in the development
of the county. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Peterson will at once occupy his
new purchase and arrange to set out
the place to fruit, which means another
big orchard in prospect for the valley

contemplated proposition. No one has
advantage over you. 1t is your ad-

THE SIGNS ARE AGAINST HIM

c.. H. Bennett, an attorney widely
known in both Ferry and Okanogan
counties, as he is an old resident of Re-
public, was visitor in town Tuesday.
Mr.. Bennett is candidate for the Of
flee of judge of this district. Mr.. Ben
nett is a very pleasant gentleman to
meet, has many many close and warm
friends In both counties, but his chance
OF winning is almost hopeless. The
planets are against him. His oppo-
nent, E. K. Pendergast, will carry the
county something after the manner he
did in the primaries. In some quarters
this statement may be doubted, as Mr..
Pehv ergast has some very active, out
spassenssnd influential enemies scatter
ed about the county who will move
heaven and earth to accomplish his de-
feat, but it is evident from the primary
vote that the bulk of the electors are
for him and cannot be headed off. Mr..
Pendergast is as well equipped to fill
the office of judge as any member of
the bar in the state, he has too high a
regard for the integrity of the bench
to permit his personal prejudices to
influence him in any case that might
be tried before him, and in case of his
election will undoubtedly make cred
table record. With all due kindness
to Mr.. Bennett there is no getting
away from the prevailing signs, they
are all against him.

WHAT A MUDDLE.

And a pretty kettle of fish the coun-
ty is now in over the big steel bridge
across the Okanogan river at the town
of Okanogan, alias Pogue, alias Alma.
The story is too long to go over in de-
tail, and the data is not handy to draw
on, anyhow. Briefly the complication
grew largely out of townsite jealousy,
and neighborhood pickering, which,
inside and outside of corporate limits,
has been curse to the county and a
detriment to the progress of the towns
themselves. Okanogan wanted bridge.
There was no burning necessity for a
bridge at the time, before or since, but

OLD SAILING RECORDS.

Speed In Ocean Travel Showa by
Some American Ships.
In recent number OF the Herald l nnd
. statement Of the remarkable passages
made in the last few years BY the Amsri-
can ship Erskine W. Phelps, owned In
Bath, Ne. The way In which the state
ment 10 put might lead casual reader to
believe that all previous ocean sailing re-
cords bad gone BY the board. I therefore
take the liberty Of calling your attention
TO certain properly verified records made,
most Of them, half = century ago, says
Rowland Thomas, in the Boston Herald
Tho most noteworthy performance OF
the Phelps, all things considered, 10 her
run from Norfolk, Va /, to Honolulu, . dis
tance Of IL 900 miles. which she covered In
ninety-seven days, dsily average Of is5
miies. The record voyage over approx
mately the same distance IL that OF the
seventy six days. In the same connection
must Be noted the old ship Northern
Light, which averaged 200 miles day for
the passage from san Franciso to Boston,
and the truly memorable voyage OF the
famous ship Houqua, Shanghai TO New
York, eighty-eight days.
The Phelps also has to her credit . pas
sass from New York to Java Head, 1900
miiss, In eighty days, averaging i62-5
miles per day. The old East India Black
waller Ainuick Castle, mot . clipper,
twice made the run from the Channe 10
the 6andheads at the entrance OF the
Hooxly, an approximately equal distance,
In sixty-eight days. falso have ct hand
clipping from the Daily Post Of London.
pasted inside the cover Of . scaworn Bow
ditch, which givcs the record passage
from Melbourne 70 tho Mersey q sixty
three days. The same skipper made two
other memorable round trips, England to
Melbourne and return In the Black Hall
liner Marco Polo - one In Ave montha,
twenty-six days, the other In one or two
days over or under six months.
For bursts Of speed the Phelps best IL
very good indeed. An hours run Of
fourteen milcs, days run Of I'D, and q
run Of 9, 500 miles in twenty-six days, or
an average or $50. That surpasscs the old
record Of the swordnsh, Shanghai to Ian
Francisco, thirty-one days, or an average
Of go miles. But il must be remembered
that the run Of the Phelps ~as made
wholly ct go, with open water and the
southeast trades broad Abcam, while the
5wordnsh had to get Oh the coast clear OF
the China sea and then pass north OF the
zone Of the trades And the Phelps best
10 small compared with the runs Of the
real ocean racers, the old American full
clippers.
That crowned queen of the So, the
beautiful old Flying Cloud, holds record
which will probably stand to the end Of
time. In . day OF twenty four hours she
made properly verified run Of ~ miles,
an hourly average Of eighteen knot. And
her rival, the Sovereign OF the SEA, was but
little behind her. It will be seen, there
fore, that the bsst OF our day must Be
much bettered to match the best Of the
days when sailors sailed and looked down
from their poops with infinite scorn on
the ''steam" which was moping along At
humble. six or seven knots.
