MISS ZELLA HOPP RETURNS

her sister, Miss Gertrude Leo, when
they return to Tacoma.

Hopp, which stated that her sister
was mistreatei by Bernard, the "God

this city and took the matter up with
the police She got Miss Hopp to
accompany her to the police station,
and was with the police when they
forcibly entered Demands house and

Mrs. Miller says she has known
Bernard for several years, having

poses as a physician. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Reynolds, who is in
charge of the investigations, and who
talked with the three women, said
the medical society probably would
look into this feature of Bernard's
career.
While Bernard was indignant at
the time of his arrest, he was unruf-
fed when arraigned in court. He
smiled in a languid manner during
the proceedings, and yawned while
Miss Hopp was telling her story. Des-

Why | Came to
Wenatchee

Gunther Carlberg: What led me
to locate in the Wenatchee valley?
Well, l spent a great many years of
my life in mining but, as you know,
this was a precarious existence. Min
ing is a series of ups and downs
a sort of gambling-one day a man
is rich and the next day he Is a pau
per, and through the persuasions of
my wife i decided to go into a more
staple business. Fruit growing look
ed pretty good to me, but l was then
in Colorado and the frosts had to be
considered, and this led me in a
search for a fruit locality where
there were no frosts. I had heard
of the northwest and went from Col
orado to Seattle. From Seattle l was
in doubt between Yakima and Wen
atchee, but after making careful
investigation, l decided to locate in
the best place in the World for fruit
growing-the Wenatchee valley, be-
lieving that the three elements-soil,
water and sunshine-were better
combined in this locality than any
other section in the world for the
growing of perfect fruit.

Leaves the Army.

Captain Smith left the Royal Cav
airy, where he served on the staff
of Lord Kitchener, Lord Mimic, the
Duke of Connaught, ana the Prince
of Wales, because he felt that the
world held more for him than the
army's prospects offered. His posi-
ton In the army was the highest. His
commission came from Queen Vic
toria, the rarest way that commits
sion can be had. The captain knew
that the world offered things that
could never be had by following
army life, and in the year 1908 he
left the army, retaining his title and
the right to wear a captains uni
form, and set out in search Of the
good things that he knew were to be
had.

Mrs. o. G. Stevenson: "It was the
continual sight of the red apple sta
tionery that induced me to locate in
the Wenatchee valley. In Seattle
almost every letter that came into
the office where was employed bore
the red apple-the emblematic mark
of Wenatchee The picture Of the
apple on the stationery looked good
to me and led me to make further
investigation of the country that
produced them. I came to Wenat-
chez on trial and I am free to con-
fess that no place on the earth has
greater attractions for me now than
the Wenatchee valley"

Searches Over $4,000 Miles.

He left the army at Rangoon in
January, 1909, and went to India,
distance of $500 miles. From
there he went to London, 1900 miles
more. Then he went to Paris and
returned again to London. The
round trip included another thou
sand miles. These trips were made
while the captain was formulating
plans, talking with capitalists, and
deciding on where he would choose
to locate.
From London he voyaged to New
York, $500 miles, and considered an
offer to represent some capitalists on
the New York stock exchange. The
offer was a good one, but he decided
to turn it down and returned to Lon
don, $500 miles again.
Then he travelled another $500
miles back once more to New York,
and went to Montreal, 1000 miles
more. His mission was to look into
Canadian lands for big London syn
dictate, and he travelled all the way
across the Canadian country and on
into Alaska, making a total of 4,500
miles again. In Alaska the captain
studied transportation opportunities.
Not satisfied, he returned to Seattle,
another thousand miles, and then
went back to London, 1000 miles
again.
Still thinking of the west, he came
| back to Seattle, 1000 miles more,
and there met a friend he had known
in Paris, Claire, or Oaky, Farms
worth, the paragon of the financial
world, who jumped from nothing to
a million, without backing, by in
vestments in the west.
| Farnsworthl told the captain of
the apple lands and advised him to
seek the heart of the apple country
and to buy.
So the captain made inquiries,
heard of Wenatchee, and came here
total stranger He bought some
land across the river, 80 acres set
to trees, but lacking water. He put
the water on by pumping, and has
today an orchard that ranks with
| the best the valley has. His trees
/ are three wears Old-DeliciouS Wine
saps, Spitzenbergs and Staymans-
varieties that are accepted as the
best.
So much for f'hot air" in Wenat-
chez. He came here stranger and
a foreigner, bought in haste, and has
a place that is the envy Of all who
see it. Big as the Wenatchee peo-
pie talk, the captain found that their
talk was not as big as what he got

ALMOST READY FOR WATER.

During the week the l00-horse power
pump, that is to be operated by elec.
tricity, was received by the East Oro-
VILE Orchard company, and II. c. Ar
mold, representing the Fairbanks Morse
company, is here for the purpose of
setting up the pump and putting it in
shape for operation. Mr.. Arnold states
that his part of the work will be COM
pleted in week or ten days. The
pump will rest on concrete founda-
ton prepared to receive it, located on
the east shore of Osoyoos lake. 1t is a
double cylinder pump, arranged so that
one cylinder can be used for ordinary
pumping purposes, and when it is nee
essary to lift water to any height both
can be operated.
The company is gradually getting in
shape to turn water on the big tract
that is to be reclaimed, and which in a
fewf years, under intelligent cultiva-
tlon and management, will be one of
theimost valuable and hourishlng or
chards, or combination of orchards,
throughout the length and breadth of
the Okanogan valley. Under the di-
rec4on of Frank De Vos the main
bitches are being finished and they
represent many hundred feet of exca-
vation. The wooden pipes, chiefly
used in direct connection with the
pump, are already under ground. Be-
sides the main fumes there are numer-
GUS laterals to be dug that conveys
water to the tracts more remote from
the main source of supply. A vast
amount of work has been done, and
wei, done, since the beginning of
spring, and there is much more to do,
but it is now expected that the COM
pany will be ready to distribute water
on, or about, the lst of August.
With the starting of the pump will
be eonsummated one of the largest
private irrigation projects in the coun-
ty. 1.-THE company is made up of home
people, and the enterprise embraces
1000 acres of the choicest land in east
ern Washington, favorably and attrac-
tive9y located along the Okanogan
rivea' and the east shore of Osoyoos
lake. 1t is perfectly adapted to the
growing of fruit, and should be in such
demand that the company can readily
dispose of the entire acreage.

GOOD EXAMPLE.

Road supervisors could well afford to
study the methods employed by rail
road contractors in road building to the
great benefit of the public and the saw
ing of much money to the county. The
best stretches of road work in the coun:
ty are those where the railroad build
ers have been compelled to construct
new roads in lieu of those destroyed in
the process of railroad grading. The
piece of road from Nighthawk to In
dian Edwards place is cited as shin
inc example, and another example, or
examples, are the roads replaced by
the railroad contractors on the east
side of the Okanogan river from Oro-
Vile southwark If the same system
was used in the expenditure OF road
moneys by those authorized to build
roads in a few years the county would
have system of good and permanent
highways. The old order OF things,
where lick and promise constituted
the extent of road construction, IS out
of date. In no part of the county adj
ministration is there room for greater
Improvement than in that of road build
ING. and it is time that the commits
sioners insist that this class of work Is
done right. A few refusals to pay the
bills for. slipshod road work would
cause reformation in the methods
emploved and be to the everlasting
benefit of the county and residents
thereof.

STUCK ON THE COUNTRY.

Chris Sorrensen, who has been visit
ing with friends in Horse Spring cou-
lee, was in town Saturday. Mr. Sor-
rensen is pioneer of western Wash
ington, having settled in Wahkiakum
county 80 Iears ago. He is most ia
yorably impressed with this part of
eastern Washington, and declares it to
be the ideal country for the young
man. He sees great possibilities in
the future for this locality, and were
he 70 years younger he would, no
doubt hasten to make Okanogan his
home. When he settled in Wahkiakum
county the country was a dense wilder
ness, and it cost $50 an acre, and in
many instances more, to clear the land
of standing timber. The cultivated
land is confined to the river bottoms.
No effort is made to raise grain in his
locality. 1t is dairy country, and
hay is the staple farm product. The
land is rich and well watered and veg
citation grows luXuriantly. 1t is on ac-
count of this rapid and dense growth
that cereals cannot be grown with any
success. He says that no effort what
ever is made to cultivate the higher
grounds.
What struck Mr.. Sorrensen with
this country was the fact that the set
tier is at no large expense clearing the
land for cultivation. In its natural
state it is ready for the plow, and more
over whenever intelligent farming is
carried on there are ample returns in
the way of crops to repay the husband
man. Mr.. Sorrensen is right. This
is the country for the young man with
vim and energy who is willing to take
off his coat and work. In no country
can man succeed without exertion,
and the greater his exertion the
greater his success. 1t is not held
that the climate and conditions are
perfect here, but the combination is as
near the ideal as can be found any
where. Occasionally crops may be
short, but a total failure has never
been known. The soil and situations
are diversified in the county. On the
higher lands all kinds of cereals are
grown, while the valleys are adapted
to fruit growing. On the lower lando
irrigation is necessary, but there is
abundance of water, and gradual
much of the land is being devoted ty
orchards. Okanogan county is about
the last section of the state where pub
lie land can be secured, or patented
land can be purchased reasonably.
There is no desire to create an impress
sion that there is much desirable gov
ernment land open for settlement, for
there is not. The best has been largely
appropriated. Still the homesteader
can, by investigation, secure public
lands upon which to make home,
that will in time become valuable. All
of the cultivable lands in the county
are bound to steadily increase in value
and the young man who secures foot
hold now is laying the foundation for
an independence.

DON'T BE a TIGHT WAD.

The public hardly realizes the pro-
gress that our local band is making.
1t is becoming a music making organ
ization that would do credit to town
far larger than Oroville. The change
for the better is noticeable every time
the band appears in public. This is
due not only to conscientious practice
on the part of the members, but par
ticularly to the painstaking leadership
of Chas. Writ, a cornetist of eXcep-
tional skill whom the boys have re-
Gently secured to lead and teach the
band. Not only his own performance
upon the instrument of his choice, but
the progress made under his tuition
proves conclusively that he knows his
business. The public should demon
strate its appreciation of the organiza-
tion, an important adjunct in any COM
munity, by extending to the band every
encouragement, and especially en-
couragement of material nature. The
boys are at large expense keeping up
the organization, from which they de-
rive no income, and the payment OF a
leader is a heavy drain. The business
men could we'll afford to make monthly
contributions to support the band. If
all would join in the good
work the monthly tax on each
individual would be so light as not to
be noticed. The open air concerts are

PASSED UP THE CHARGE.

In the last issue mention at length
was made of the arrival of Rev. John
c. Prince, all the way from New Hamp-
shire, to take charge of the M. E.
church. Last Thursday morning, with
out the knowledge of the public, that
had no particular right to expect an
explanation, Mr.. Prince took the east
bound train and gently passed from
sight, headed for his old home. No
doubt the gentleman had good and suf-
fcient reason for the change of mind,
and that it will be more pleasant for
him at his old home, for Oroville is
not the happiest place on earth for
members of the cloth. All that can be
learned as to the cause of cold feet, or
change of heart, is that Mr.. Prince
stated to one or two that things as
they existed in connection with the
charge had been misrepresented to
him, and if such was the case he was
justified in his action. On short ac-
quaintance Mr.. Prince made a very ia
forable impression, and the church
no doubt regrets that he
could not have seen his way clear to
remain in Oroville.

THE RESULT.

Below is given the final returns from
the local option election recently held
in this county. The vote is published
as matter of reference, and is in ac-
cordance with the official canvass as it
appeared in the Conconully Record.
All the precincts are given with the
exception of Eneas valley, and by some
oversight the vote from that precinct
was not turned in. Report has it that
the vote of the precinct was 20 dry and
0 wet, dividing up the honor of the
banner dry precinct with Pine Creek.
1t has always been known that the
farming districts are opposed to any
invasion of the saloon, and it is a rare
case in any county where the question
is put to a vote that a country precinct
goes wet. Outside of the incorporated
towns the county is overwhelmingly
dry, the only precincts showing a bal
ance in favor of the vets being Mes
pelem, Chesaw and Loomis, two on a
very narrow margin. One thing that
will strike the reader is the light vote
polled, not above 80 or 60 per cent OF
the voters taking the trouble to eX-
press a preference upon the subject:

DOING GOOD WORK,

Marshal Myers is making an envi-
able record both as a peace officer and
street commissioner. While he cannot
be everywhere at the same time he
spreads himself pretty generally over
the territory within his jurisdiction,
and the offender against the peace and
dignity of the municipality seldom
escapes his notice. The job is not a
picnic, either, as the officer is on duty
most of the night as we'll as all day.
OF late Marshal Myers has been doing
some street grading, where repairs of
that nature were sadly needed, and
when he gets through the repairs will
be thorough and permanent.
