HARMONIOUS SESSION.

There was a meeting of the new re-
publican county central committee In
Orovlle Tuesday. The representation
was not great, but there was sum-
Gent number of members present to
gather together, and it proved to be
one OF the most harmonious meetings
Of the kind ever held in this or any
other county. There was no fine split
ting of hairs over differences OF opln-
ion. Insurgents and regulars were as
neatly mixed as the purest blend, ana
not shade of friction ruffied the calm
ness of the assembly. 1t was taken TOT
granted that all present were repuoll-
cans, and there was no disposition TO
stir up the animals. 1t was an exhl-
bition of political millennium where
the lion and the lamb sported together
without disposition on the part OF the
lion to absorb the lamb. IL was beau
tiful example of unity, and means
trouble ahead for the common enemy
A. M. Storch was chosen chairman,
d. +. Marble secretary, and Freo' ''
Fine state committeeman.

HE DID HIS DUTY.

A. M. StOrch, the amiable and al
ways happy natured young Okanogan
(the town. attorney, spent Tuesday in
Oroville. He was here to attend the
called meeting of the new republican
county central committee, and came
burdened with proxies, which was all
fair in itself, as it relieved the parties
he represented of long trip, and Mr..
Starch is not the man to abuse trust
placed in him. And he did not. But
that is another story. Mr. Storch was
the census supervisor of the district
embracing eastern Washington, and he
performed his duties diligently, pains
takingly and thoroughly. He put in
long hours of hard labor, and put forth
his best efforts to secure a full and &C
curate enumeration. He was ably as
sisted BY large corps of Office and
field deputies He states that it will
probably be some weeks beforeithe
census bureau gives out the returns for
this district. The delay is caused by
the marvellous increase of population
in eastern Washington during the past
decade. The figures startle the heads
of the bureau, and clerks are checking
over the returns and footings. Mr..
Stock did not ransack graveyards and
list passengers passing through on
trains, and hence has no apprehensions
of any curtailment of the reports as
submitted.

HEED THE BELL.

The town authorities have inaugu-
rated new departure in providing for
the ringing of curfew bell. Every
night, at . O'Clock, the deep notes of
the Presbyterian church bell tolls out
warning to lads and lasses of immature
years to vacate the streets, and head
for home. 1t is q commendable Gus
tom that has not been carried into
force before because of poverty here
tofore existing of far sounding bells
within reachable distance of the center
OF the town. Now that the practice is
in operation it is hoped that the mar
shall will strictly enforce the order.
There is nothing so demoralizing to
the young as street loating at any time,
and especially after night. They can
learn more cussedness, in all it's rami-
fications, IN the glare of the electric
light, or under the cover of darkness,
than can be eradicated by years of
preaching and parental authority.
Haunting the streets when they should
be at home is habit easy for children
to fall into, and as parents are careless
in restraining their offsprings in their
comings and goings it devolves upon
the constituted authorities to throw
some safeguard around the generation
growing up. May curfew never fail
to ring tonight from this time forward.

WILL IMPROVE THE LAND.

Recently Geo. H. Ellis and Jas. e.
Forde secured 80 acres of land on the
Hat just east of town, and while not
having water front is only short
distance from Osoyoos lake. 1t was an
Indian allotment, and taking into con-
sideration its location, its configuration,
the readiness in which water can be
distributed to almost any part of the
land it is one of the most desirable
tracts for orchard purposes in the north
part of the county. The major por-
tion OF this choice piece of land is al
most perfectly level, and could not be
better situated for easy irrigation.
One Of the objects of Mr.. Ellis visit to
OrOville at this time is to make ar
rangements for clearing off the land,
upon which there is scattering growth
OF small sage brush, and breaking it
up preparatory to setting out trees in
the spring. 1t is the intention to sell
20 acres in its present condition, if the
turn can be made, and set out at least
40 acres of the balance of the piece to
fruit. Provisions will be made for
putting water on the tract, either from
the big ditch or an independent sys-
TEN. Mr.. Ellis believes that the best
way to make land adapted to the grow
ing OF fruit valuable and saleable is by
improving it. and that plan will be
followed in this case. The Ellis-Forde
tract is in the midst of the large
tract that is being reclaimed by the
East Oroville Orchards company, and
this addition to the long and broad
stretch of territory watered by that
company's system of bitches will in
time make of the big fiat one vast Or
chard, supporting considerable popu-
lation Immediately tributary to Oro-
vile. When once in bearing this fiat
will produce prolifically of the finest
fruit that grows. It's capability is es-
tablished, as the land adjoins and the
soil is similar to that of the Okanogan
Smith orchard, where sturdy trees,
nearly half century old, annually
yield enormous crops of the best fruit
to be found in the market.
