FOR A TOWN.


Loomis is to incorporate, at least ap-
plication has been made to the COM
missioners for that purpose. The good
people of that camp, and there are
many pleasant, warm-hearted, true and
generous people in that community,
have waited long time before decid-
ing upon trying the experiment of local
government, and it looks like a serious
undertaking without title to the land
upon which the place is located. How
ever, those who still have an interest
in the welfare of Loomis, that in by
gone years was the liveliest town in
the county, trust that if the petition is
granted the change will result in re-
viving the old camp, and again give it
the prestige it held for so long time.
For Loomis is certainly attractively
located, and is surrounded with re-
sources that once under full develop
ment should contribute to build up a
large and hourishing population.

The friends of Horace +. Evans, the
widely known geologist and mining
expert, will be shocked to learn that
he has been adjudged insane and COM
mitted to the asylum at Medical Lake.
Since his return to this county after
an absence of year, or more, Mr..
Evans has been acting strangely, but
no one suspected that his mind was
unbalanced until he commenced acting
strangely at the Oroville-Detroit mine
last week. He was employed by that
company to report upon the progress
of the work being done with the
diamond drills, and to make the
necessary assays. Last week he be-
came aggressiyely overbearing, would
not permit the drillers to carry on
their work, ordered them from the
quarters and exhibited other signs of
insanity, He was brought to Oroville

COLD STORAGE PLANT.

The Pioneer Meat market has cold
storage plant finally equipped, the en-
gine, motor and other machinery hav-
ing been installed during the past week
by an expert sent in for that purpose,
1t is known as the Armstrong system,
and is operated by an electric motor.
Ice is not used. The temperature is
regulated by means of ammonia and
strong solution of brine, and can be so
regulated that any temperature can be
maintained. 1t is the most complete
plant of the kind in the upper country
north of Wenatchee. Under the old
refrigerator method ice was very
heavy item of expense, and it was inn
possible to regulate the temperature.
With the system now in use meat can
be kept for any length of time, and
when once in operation will insure the
consumer an improved quality of meet,
as heretofore it has been necessary to
put meat on the block almost imms-
diately after being killed.

ENJOYING PROSPERITY.

Saturday ye editor was surprised tC
meet Geo. w. Hendricks, of Water
vile, whom he had not seen for lo
these many years, and that surprise
stretched to the limits of dazed won
der when it appeared that Geo. w.
was travelling in his private touring
motor car. Mr.. Hendricks was ac-
companied by Mrs. Hendricks, who
handled the steering wheel with the
skill and confidence of a veteran, r. In
singer, and valet, or shutter, or slave,
who sat in the front seat devouring
scenery when not rummaging around
in the innards of the machine adjust
ing the mechanism. The party was
making tour of this upper country,

A COSY PLACE.

One of the pleasant memories of a
recent visit to Seattle was an evening
spent at the quarters of the Seattle
Press Club. Some weeks ago the boys
employed on the several daily papers
in Seattle combined forces and en-
gagged suite OF rooms in block near
the paper offices, which they have
fitted out with everything tending to
make the members comfortable when
off duty. The rooms are decorated ac-
cording to the ideas of newspaper
man, one of the leading features being
a series of original drawings by artists
from all over the country. Soon after
it's organization, officers of the club
communicated with all the leading car
toonists of the United States, asking
for contributions and the result is the
present wall decorations. A first class
buffet is conducted in connection with
the club and when off duty the boys
spend many pleasant hours, as only
newspaper men can, within the portals
of the club rooms.

COW BINED FORCES.

Geo. j. Gardiner and Henry X.
Dougan have joined forces in the sur
veying and engineering line, and are
prepared to take any kind of contract
requiring the services of experts in
their profession. George Gardiner is
the pioneer surveyor of the county.
He first hung out his shingle in
Brewster, moved from that place to
Loomis, where he resided a number of
years, and a couple of years ago trans
ferred his headquarters to Oroville.
In early days there was little demand
for surveyors, as people were not par
ticular about legal division lines, and
Mr.. Gardiner found it hard shedding
until his lucky star led him to locate
in Oroville, and since coming here he
has built up business that really re-
quired an assistant to enable him to
fill his contracts. AS a surveyor and
engineer Mr.. Gardiner has few SUPER
iors. In selecting an associate Mr..
Gardiner was fortunate in his choice,
as Mr.. Dougan is gentleman who
stands high in his profession. He has
for years beeu engaged in railroad
work, and leaves railroad engineering
to enter into partnership with Mr..
Gardiner, feeling that with its prom
ising future Oroville is a good place
to stay with,

the most bashful and buxon bachelor
IN Douglas county, But Geo. W. had the
money making microbe, and when the
chance came he made it, and made it

editor alone is probably the only one
who failed to pile up riches during the
heeting score of years. And he cher
ishes not one iota of envy, either, and
is truly glad that the boys have had
the opportunity to make a success in
life, and that they took advantage of
the opportunity. He was exceedingly
pleased to meet Mr. Hendricks after
SO many years, glad that he is able to
sport a car, and glad that he had the
wisdom to take unto himself wife.
May he live long to enjoy the good
things of life, for he has experienced
the hard side of existence in his time,

joyment 10y years of self-denial

WHOLESALE ROUNDUP,

A nice bunch of wanderers blew into
town Tuesday, coming from no one
knows where, although their going
hence is of general knowledge, as the
departure, of portion of the gang,
was expedited by the stern mandate of
those in authority to enforce scatter
ing. The visitors are SAID to have been
the toughest lot that ever invaded an
interior town of small size, with Slight
prospects of fat picking, for it is
claimed that yeggmen, and house,
breakers, and criminals of that size
and class were among the number.
Report goes so far as to say that
parties here recognized them as part
of gang that terrorizee a Montana
town couple of years ago. Anyhow
their appearance was not very sanity
and their actions did not conform with
those of law-abiding citizens. They
devoted themselves assiduously to
tanking up, and when properly primed
insisted on rough-housing. Constable
Myers got busy, very busy, and by the
time he you through promenading
backward and forward between Main
street and the calaboose, escorting
the strangers to cover singly and in
pairs, and took time to rasp the sweat
from his brow he had run in seven.
This collection, with the two prior
occupants, crowded the small recep-
ticle to the limit of its capacity.
Wednesday four Of the prisoners,
giving their names as Chas. Palmer,
Fl. w, Clark, Fl. d. Cunningham and
Joseph Cronin, were fined $20 and
costs, and in lieu of the coin were
assigned to positions on the chain
gang. Three others were escorted to
the corporate limits and advised to
move on. There has not been another
such roundup in town for months, and
it serves notice on the foaters that
Oroville is not healthy place in
which to linger.

and took up his quarters at the Peer
less hotel. He was possessed with the
idea that he owned the premises,
walked the floor of the Office all night,
and could not be controlled. Saturday
he was sent to Conconully under
charge of Deputy Sheriff Gadbury,
where he was subsequently examined
and committed to the asylum. Few
men in the northwest possess a more
thorough knowledge Of geology and
mining than Prof. Evans, and he is
well known throughout the northwest.
The cause of his losing his mind is a
mystery, as during his long residence
in this vicinity he has been strictly
temperate, and he has had no troubles
so far as known.

FRUIT FOR THE FUTURE
A Vast Number of Trees Set
Out n This County
This Spring.
RUN UP TOAQuARTER MILLION
1t Promises to Pot Okanogan at
the Top Among the Fruit
Producing Counties.

County Fruit Inspector l. N. Piercey
was a visitor in town Saturday Busi-
ness connected with his office called
him up the valley as far as Tonasket.
and he stretched the trip to Oroville
to confer with his deputy, Geo. Whis-
tier. There is work enough to do at
certain seasons of the year to keep Mr..
Piercey and his deputies on the keen
jump, and the chief has little idle time
on his hands at any season. The aim
of the inspectors is to ward off the in
PRODUCTION of diseased or pest infected
trees so far as it is in their power so
to do. Okanogan county, so far, has
fortunately escaped any extensive dam
age from the multitude of pests that
ravage orchards in older settled To-
calities, but it is only by eternal vigil
lence and constant care that orchards
can be kept free from insects. The
object is to prevent the introduction
of infested and infected stock as much
as possible, and reduce the danger to a
minimum. Much responsibility rests
upon Mr.. Piercey and his able corps of
assistants, and to their credit be it said
they perform their duty without fear
or favor. The public would be sur
prised at the number of trees shipped
in that are condemned, and when once
ruled against by the inspector those
trees must be destroyed and are.
Few people realize the vast aera that
is being set aside for fruit in this coun-
~ und tne immense number OF trees
that are going into new orchards Mr..
Piercey states that no less than 25O,-
600 trees have been planted in Okla
hogan county this spring. This num-
ber will be increased from year to
year, for there are many available
acres primely adapted to the growing
that will be gradually placed under
cultivation. 1t is doubtful if any coun-
ty in the state has so great an extent
of territory more especially suitable to
the production of choice fruit as Okla
hogan, and in no county is the size,
color and flavor of the Okanogan pro-
duct surpassed. The soil of the Okla
hogan, Methow, Sinlahekln and other
lesser valleys are rich in the elements
that make for choice fruits, and will
become continuous, and even upon the
higher plateaus the harder varieties
do wonderous well. At no distant day
every available acre will be given over
to fruit culture, and when the hun
dreds of thousands of trees that will be
required to stock those are once in
bearing the output of Okanogan will
cut large figure in the total output
of eastern Washington, and land now
in its primatiue state is practically
without value will command as high
price as any in the state. 1t will re-
quire little time to bring about an
entire Transformation, but that time
is being fastened by the annual in
crease of acreage put out to trees,
