THE FIRST OF THE SEASON

The first snow of the season fell in
the valley Friday last. There was not
much of it, and what little fell did not
remain in sight long, in fact disappear
ing as rapidly as it hit the surface, but
it was snow all the same, similar in
every respect to that arriving about
this season every year, and was fore
runner of winter. For some weeks the
mountains have been capped with the
chilly substance, the white line gradu-
ally creeping down toward the low
lands, hence the visitation was neither
unreasonable nor unexpected. The
furry was followed by keen and
searching west wind, forming ice on
tbs smaller ponds and causing the care
less and procrastinating householder to
hustle up a supply of fuel. AS the first
real touch of winter it made its pres
ence felt. There may be more pleas
ant DAYS ahead before rude and rigor
Gus winter assumes his sway in earnest,
but it is cinch that the day of the pic
mic is over, and the swimming hole has
lost its pull.

A GOOD APPOINTMEN

A. M. Storch, OF Okanogan, the new
ly appointed census supervisor for the
district of eastern Washington, spent
Sunday in Oroville, leaving MUnday
for Spokane. Mr.. Storch will make
his headquarters in Spokane while
supervising the taking of the census,
and goes out at this time with the ex-
pectation of remaining to get his house
in order to begin business. The APP
pointment could not have fallen to a
more worthy or capable young man.
Mr.. Storch is valuable and active citi-
zen of Okanogan county, and numbers
multitude of friends who congratu-
late him upon receiving the response
BILE position. Whoever backed up this
appointment is entitled to credit for a
wise selection. He is an up-to-date,
wide awake hustler, and personally q
most clever young gentleman.

now indispensable the oleaginous stuff
Is until forced to do without it. A con-
slgnment OF throat ointment arrived
from Spokane and creased the masticat-
ing muscles until the local creamery
could fill the gap with butter brick.
Inc shortage was no fault of the home
butter foundry, the blame rests with
those who have cream and fail to sup
ply the factory with the raw material.
The home bntter is as good as the best
made, the only trouble being that the
manager cannot secure sufficient cream
to keep the plant running steadily.
There is really no excuse for this.
The creamery pays the highest mar
ket price for cream, pays the dough
when due. and will take all that is de-
livered. There was much clamoring
for creamery when it was idle, but
enthusiasm seemed to wane when the
shop was open for business. The con-
tinuation of The establishment is ad-
vantageous to the town, and it is GER
tainly an institution that is beneficial
to the COW owner. Every effort should
be made by the residents of the sur
rounding country to continue the cream
cry in commission :and extend encour-
ment to the plucky young manager,
who has kept it going so far with little
profit to himself.

An OLD LAND MARK
The w. L. Davis Okanogan
Valley Ranch Passes Into
Other Hands.
PLACE Of NOTED HOSPITALITY
And One of the Oldest Settled and
Improved Homesteads in
the County.

An item in the Spokane Review an
nounces that Commissioner w. L. Da-
Wis has. sold his place on the Okanogan
river, some Is miles north of Brewster,
the consideration being $4,000. This
includes some $50 acres, but nearly one
half of it would probably come under
the head Of grazing land, the balance
adapted to fruit growing under irriga-
ton. Every one who has travelled by
stage through this county knows the
Davis ranch. For years it was the
meal station on the trip between Con-
conully and Brewster, and travellers
never put their legs under better
ladened table than that spread in the
Davis home. Whoever partook of hos
pitality under the Davis roof, and wore
off the edge of hunger at the Davis
board have always looked forward with
anticipations of pleasure to repeti-
tion of the visit. The Davis home was
an oasis in an almost continuous desert
from Brewster to Spring coulee, and
the memory of the coy retreat and
welcome shelter, whether from the
searching and penetrating winds of
winter or the scorching sun and smoth-
ering dust of summer. will linger long
in the memory of those who tarried by
the way side and tickled their palates
with the substantials and delicacies
provided for the traveller.
The Davis place is one of the land
marks of the county. Mr.. Davis To-
Gated on the land 20 years ago. 1t was
an uninviting spot so far as promise Of
returns from the surrounding country
was concerned, but the selected home
sight was at the mouth of deep, yawn-
ing canyon splitting the background of
mountain, out of which small, clear,
cold, everything stream flowed into the
valley, Immediately sinking from sight
in the dry and famished soil. 1t re-
quired backaches galore and blistered
hands without end to make an income
producing farm out of the sandy, rocky,
unpromising soil, but Mr.. Davis is
sturdy plodder, and after years of strug-
gle he at last accomplished what at
one time seemed the impossible. Wa
ter was conveyed upon the thirsty land,
trees set out, and in the course of time
one Of the best and most productive
orchards in the county added daub of
bright color to the scenery. The fame
of the Davis fruit spread from the in
ternational line to Wenatchee. Years
ago Mr.. Davis hauled much of his fruit
to British Columbia, where he found a
ready market. Gradually Mr.. Davis
increased his land holdings until he
was the proprietor of 800 or 900 acres.
This recent sale has relieved him of
much of his real estate possibilities.
He was in easy circumstances before
the sale, and the addition of SAC, 1000
places him in a position to pass the
balance of his days in ease and comfort.
He has fully earned the prosperity that
has come to him through his rough
pioneering, unceasing industry and
self-sacrifice.

A GENTLEMAN OF POPULARITY

Ex-Treasurer Phil Pinkston, of Con-
conully, stopped off in Oroville Thurs
day last on his way to the high lands
east of town on private business. There
was time when Pinkston haunted de-
linquent taxpayers that his visits were
not happy occasions for the dodgers
who desired to enjoy the safeguard of
government without paying their pro-
portion for the maintenance of the
same. Nowadays Phil is not an apper-
alton conveying tremors, and his visits
are welcome to everybody. There is
tinny echo of a whisper floating
around that Mr.. Pinkston would not
play the Caeser role if the legislative
crown were pressed upon his brow. II
the place must fall to the lot of dem
ocrat the eX-treasurer would not be too
bad pill for the other fellows to
swollow.

IT MAY MATERALIZE.

The movement to install local tel
ephone system in Oroville has not
reached the point of possible achieve
ment where it can be said it is assured,
yet those who are fostering the pro-
ject have secured sufficient encourage
ment to leave hope of ultimate reali-
cation. The town has been pretty well
canvassed, and the promise secured of
at least so subscribers, and as starter
that is sufficient to provide an income
large enough to meet the expense of
operating and leave a margin for the
kitty. AS the proposition is presented

DOES PANAMA
NEED FORTS :?
Wilmington, VT, Times.)

In military and navaI circles there
is much interest manifested with re-
ference to the plans for fortifying
the Panama Canal. 1t appears that
the military strategists have planned
for mucn stronger Notifications on
the Pacific than on the Atlantic side
This is thought to be a great compli-
ment to certain insular nation 5000
miles across the Pacific. Both sides
of the canal, it is said, are to be put
in fortified condition so strong that
no rejecting nation will wish to at
tack them. 1t seems that we with
our outlying fortified picket posts, as
they may be called, at Porto Rico and
in Cuba and Hawaii, ought to be able
to protect powerfully fortified canal,
but it may be hoped that we will
never have to make a practical de-
monstration Of our ability to do so.
Our ex-President, it seems from the
morning papers, is still repeating his
peace with a big stick" speech in
Europe. Only Friday he made it in
Christiana. England has never yet
had to defend the Suez Canal, but
possibly this is because of her power
fully fortified defenses at Gibraltar,
at Port Said, and her control of the
entrance to the Red Sea at Alden; or,
to put in nutshell, her control Of
the waters of the world. It is be-
lieved that finally the United States
will be found in a position, should Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion at Christiana
for coalition of all the great powers
in favor of peace be adopted, to par
ticipate in the formation of a peace
compact binding not only the first,
class signatory powers to keep the
peace among themselves, but to pre-.
vent warlike strife among the powers
not rated as first, or even second
class.

Gompers, president of the American

The Labor reader reported much
that has already been charged against
the Hawaiian planters in connection
with the Russian labor, urging that
in view of the fact that the Russians
had been brought into this country in
violation of the alien contract labor
laws, the Russians should be deported
at the expense of the planters and the
latter should be charged and tried for
the illegal importing of the aliens.

which he was serving was destroyed
by the fire of the American ships OF
Dewey's gheet off Cavite.
According to Perello's story, 25S
members of the crew of 527 of the
ship on which he was serving, swan
ashore at Noveleta. Here they were
captured by the Tagalos and taken to
Taytay island, whore they were cruel
ly treated. They were employed gen.
orally as draft animals. Last Jan.
uary 80 of the prisoners threw them
selves into the sea in desperate at
tempt to escape. Thirty-fve of the
number were drowned and q return
ed to the shore. The other 28 were
sheltered on the American steamer
Baltimore and landed at Bordeaux
from which point they walked to the
Spanish frontier and thence reached
their homes.

iards are still prisoners in the Philip
pines. He gives the names of some
Of them.
