ON THE GROUND.

Col. A. NJ. Dewey, who has been the
target for some pretty hot shot of late,
and which, by the way, has neither re-
duced his avoirdupois nor ruftled his
normal suave disposition, arrived in
Oroville Wednesday evening, prepared
to go down among the Philistines and
start business without fear or fovor.
Col. Dewey is the head and front Of
the Okanogan irrigation and Power
company, that has had for it's aim for
months the reclamation of large tracts
of land in the Loomis neighborhood
He has heretofore been prOdigal in
promise and penurious in performance,
but he comes at this time prepared to
make good. He arrives at the same
time that a large force of men and
teams engaged to start work on the
bitches that are to carry water to the
land to be watered gets on the ground,
and he brings supplies that adds evil
dence that the day of accomplishment
is at hand. Thursday caravan of
teams trailed into Oroville, only frac-
ton of the army of horses and work
men being modified along the line of
the proposed ditch system. No scrag-
gy, scarecrow horses were those that
were driven into this place, but fine,
large, heavy, handsome animals, capa-
BILE OF dong an immense amount of la
Dor in turning over the ground. The
outfit was here for the purpose of con-
veying oats, tents, scrapers, tools and
merchandise to the scene of opera
tions There We're three freight cars
loaded with this class of material. The
colonel says he is here for business
and intimates that his detractors are
liable to discover that he is hot ia
male before they are done with him.

Billy Weisgerber has resigned the
office of marshal and Walter Mills has
been temporarily appointed to fill the
vacancy. Mr.. Weisgerber goes out
of Office as popular as when he first
donned the star. 1t is position that

kicks than thanks when man is zeal
Gus in the performance of his duties
The retiring marshal was fortunate
in serving during a season when there
was little work TO be done in the ar
resting line, and he retires without
having made any enemies. His friends
and that includes the whole commu-
nity, wish him we'll in any business
he may embark in.
For several years Chas. E. Lewis
has turned his attention to improving
his poultry stock, paying especial at
tention to thoroughbred White Wyan-
dottes, an exceptionally large bird and
prolific layer. He had a couple of
roosters on exhibition at the Oro-
Vile Commercial Company's store this
week that were perfect pictures or
barnyard fowl If farmers would turn
more attention TO improving the breed
of all kinds of domestic animals and
and fowl it would be money in rheir

than the ordinary run of live property

No stem that has ever been taken to

No step that has ever been taken to
abridge intemperance can compare
in its possibility OF reducing the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages with
that of the anti-treating ordinance
that recently became operative in Ia
coma. This ordinance strictly prohib-
Us treating anywhere that liquor is
sold, and heavy penalties are provided
Tor an infraction of the law Rigidly
ca .Orced and it will put majority of
the saloons of that city out of business,
because treating is responsible for
three-fourths, or even greater per-
only will it curtail drinking among
those who have already formed the
habit. but it will have the better effect
of reducing the number of new re-
cruits to the great army OF consumers.
The American habit of treating is
responsible in almost every case or
the first drink a young man takes. 1t
is the goodfellowship of the social
glass that starts many man on the
downward path, and keeps him going
after the start is made. Not one young
man out of a hundred would volun-
tarily take the first drink. He gener-
ally takes the dangerous step at the
solicitation of some fool whom he looks
upon as a friend or he follows the
example of the company he is in from
fear of ridicule. Few of those who
drink, except the old and picked vet
eran, walk UP to the bar alone and
call for their tipple. That stage of
the drink habit is only reached when
the craving of an unnatural appetite
demands stimulants. Cut off the
touch OF the elbow, the merry jest, the
genial how or heres luck, the
pleasant sociability that makes drink
ing attractive, and hundreds of men
that now consume more or less liquor
would rarely, if ever, be seen where
such refreshments are disposed of. 1t
may be blow at personal liberty this
anti-treating ordinance, but should it
ever become a general law it would do
more to solve the veXed problem of
prohibition than all the measures ever
suggested or advocated by the most
radical prohibitionists in the land.

The Waterville Press has it in for
the editor of this paper, and if excep-
ton is taken to any sediment express
in the Gazette it makes it personal
matter by referring to the editor by
name. In the last issue, commenting
on something that appeared in the Ga
zette. the Press proceeds to place us
in the ossified class. We would prefer
to be rated in that class rather than
in the BLACKBOARD class that the Press
man enjoys the unique distinction of
occupying alone among the publish
ers OF the state.

EX-President Roosevelt is to be in
Spokane next week, and one of the
largest crowds to meet and greet a
man in public life in that city will be
there to welcome him. Col. Roosevelt
may have lost some of his popularity
in the east, but there is no question
that he is still an idol in the west.
Between his personal magnetism and
the measures he advocates he has
struck a popular chord that promises
to endure He may not be the repub-
lican candidate for president next year
but should he be he will carry the west
like whirlwind, unless there be a
miraculous change of sentiment with
in the next twenty months.

Oroville getting the tract of land he
secured from the East Oroville Or

take personal charge of the work in
progress. as he has suffered severely
from what threatened to be an attack
of appendicitis. He is slowly improv-

A Burning Glass In the Eye.


In the front part Of each of u eyes
Is a convex lens Of great power and
clearness. It acts exactly like a burn
ing glass. If a person was made to
look at the sun. say, for half a minute
his eye would actually start to burn
up. The lens would focus the rays Of
the sun on the retina, and that part Of
the eye would Immediately scorch and
later would burn to a crisp. This can
happen, however, only when one looks
at the sun directly or in a mirror. II
one holds q pin between the sun and
the eye and looks at the pin, although
tho sun II In. q direct line with the eye
ana although ito rays are entering the
eye. the eye Il not hurt, because the
rays are not focused inside the eyeball.
This y the wonderful property the lens
has. that Of focusing objects at differ
emit distances. The means by which it
does this are its power to change its
curvature.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Tho Duties Of Best Man.

"Does the best man have the we'd
ding ring and when does he hand it
over?" The best man has charge of
the ring and usually places it in q
pocket Of his waistcoat. According to
the ritual Of the Episcopal church, the
ceremony Of placing it Oh the brides
finger follows the plighting of the
troth. After the bride and groom
have both repeated this after the min
lister the book of common prayer pre-
scribes that they shall again "loose
their hands, and the man shall give
unto the woman a ring"
The best man should therefore give
it to the groom at this j%uncture. In
churches which do not have a printed
ritual the minister would indicate the
proper moment.
1t is proper to send a present to the
bride at any time after the day Of the
wedding has been set and made known
to the friends.
