C0RNERING POTATOES.

J. A. Gadbury was over from LoOmis
the latter part of the week, and
strange to say the object of his jour.
ney was for the purpose OF obtaining
a supply of that staple and indispensi-
bic vegetable, potatoes. 1t is indeed
strange this necessity OF coming 50
far for common article of cOnsump-
ton, as it is generally acknowledged
that the tuber reaches a state Of per
fectiOn and yields abundantly in the
valleys and among the hills in the vi
cinity of LOomis. The reason for this
dearth of potatoes in Mr. Gadbury's
market is that growers are holding the
supply on hand for higher prices.
From some cause the crop was short
throughout the county this season, ana
there is hardly a sufficient quantity on
hand to supply the demand until new
potatoes come into the market Al
ready the ruling price is about as high
as has ever been known at this time
of the year, and those so fortunate
as to have any considerable stock on
hand are holding until spring, when
the consumer will either have to find
some substitute for this plebian mem
Der of the vegetable family, or discoY-
er it TO be a very aristocratic dish,
out of the reach OF the ordinary indi-
vidual. 1t looks as though holders
were getting up a corner on an essen
helpless consumer Will be made 70
-.na. the piper.
Singular, is it not, that just the men
who howl the loudest against mOnop-
oily, manipulation OF the common nee
essities of life, cornering things OF
daily use, jump at the first chance TO
squeeze the public? The principle in
volved is the same, only lesser in de
gree. 1t is conclusive illustration
that it is only the lack OF opportunity
that deters all men from gouging. The
fever in the blood for the almighty
dollar is all consuming, and leads men
to any length in their desire to Oh
tain it. The man with little envies
the man with more. The man with
much is lying awake at night study
ing how he can chisel the public out
of more. The manner OF getting cuts
no figure, just so he gets. There are
big manipulators, and small manipu-
lators. The object is the same, only
the scale of operation varies. No one
questions the right OF those who have
the goods holding for higher prices,
even in the face OF fat profits on i'm
mediate sales, but when disaster
comes to such holders in the loss OF
the article held, as is often the case
ther is not much sympathy expressed
for the loser among his neighbors.

An IMPORTANT PROPOSITION.

When Edward II. Caylor of Collm-
bus, Ohio, was out here last fall he
became very enthusiastic over the idea
of the erection of smeltcr at some
central point within easy reach of The
several mining districts in the near
vicinity OF Oroyille When here he
had formulated no definite plans, but
returned east with the aVOwed inten-
ton of eniisting the cooperation OF
stockholders in the several mines that
would be directly benefited by a treat
mert plant near enough the source
of ore supply to eliminate prevailing
freight rates that prohibit the ship
ment to any distance of anything but
the very highest grade ores. He pre-
sented the case in such a favorable
light that much interest has been
aroused among those connected with
Okanogan mines in the way of con-
tributing to their development through
the purchase of stock, and the pros
poets now look favorable for his eff
forts being crowned with success. A
letter from the gentleman states that
meetings are being held and plans
considered for the erection Of such a
plant as he had in contemplation, and
the consummation of the object may
be expected in the not distant future
1t is proposed to organize an indie
pendent company to take hold of and
operate the smelter. No one mining
company will dominate in the opera
ton of the plant The aim is to put in
a customs smelter, taking all the ore
offered for treatment. no one mine
holding any advantage over another
Mr.. Caylor desires to interest every
mining company in this upper coun-
try in the scheme, and to that end re-
quests those engaged in mining to COR
respond with either himself or w. A.
Snow, Columbus, Ohio. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that mining properties
from which nothing can be expected
under prevailing uUhdltIOns cOuAu be
made to pay reasonable profits, and
in some cases handsome dividends, If
the problem of ore treatment imme-
diatelys ct hand could be solved, and
this smelter proposition is felt to be
the solution

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

The managers of Mason Bros Uncle
Toms Cabin company, which will ap-
pear at Oroville at the Lyric Monday
January 16, have made a radical de-
parture this season from the methods
pursued by most companies playing
this popular drama, inasmuch as they
dispensed with the customary street
parade, and confine the outside adver-
tising to simply a band concert at
noon. Managers heretofore have prac-
tlcally given the best part of the per
formance on the street, introducing
dogs, donkeys and ponies that play no
part in the production. The dramatic
strength of the company suffered in
consequence. There are no brass band
actors with Mason Bros. company but

STRONG COMPANY.

The Merry Musicians" that appear
ed in the Lyric theater last Friday ev-
ening, put up one of the most enter
tanning PERFORMANCES that has ever
been enjoyed by the amusement pa
irons of OroVille. There are only four
members of the company, but each one
is an artist and so versatile in their
ability to please that they present a
programme that no one can find faui,
with. They deserved a crowded house,
yet We're compelled TO play TO a
meager gathering. This was largely
due to the failure of the arrival OF
show bills in advance OF the troupe, d
mistake that has occurred on several
occasions, where attractions making
the Canadian circuit have been billed

MATRIMONIAL.

Mr.. Nathan Reed and Mrs Eva
Sabourin, both of Loomis were united
in marriage Wednesday evening of last
week in the NJ. f. parsonage of that
place, the pastor, Robert Thompson,
officiating The parties to this matri-
monial contract are old time residents
of LoOmis. Mr. Reed was supposed to
be a confirmed bachelor, and the step
he has taken was a great surprise to
his acquaintances. However, it is nev-
er too late to mend, and as he won a
very capable helpmate he lost nothing
by postponing the important event TN
til late in life. May the good things
of this earth come to and abide with
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed.

SUDDEN CHANGE.

The expected has happened. After
the wind had been pushing up from
the south for weeks, providing the
denizens of the valley an unusual brand
of balmy weather for this season of the
year, it suddenly shifted around to the
north, and the very first blast from the
land of snow and ice carried pene-
trating chill. The change took place
Monday at high noon. Up to that
hour the sun was shining soft and mild,
snow melting and pools of water form
ing. Within half an hour the pedes-
trian was huging himself in his heavi-
est wraps, water had commenced to

CHILLY LOCALITY.

G. H. Aston, of Fairview, an active
member of the Canadian police force,
whose duties often call him to Oro-
vile, came in from the north Tuesday.
Mr.. Aston is just back from fort
nights leave of absence, which he
spent at several towns along the Cana
dian Pacific railroad. He stated that
while in Calgary the thermometer reg
istered 80 degrees below zero with
stiff blizzard prevailing, making out
door exercise almost impossible. Cold
as it seemed to the natives, Mr.. Aston
after that experience thought he had
struck the tropics when he reached

Put An End

hopper Pest
BY ". H. BURNS

co.sS,i.s Asricultur,s, Of The Holly Sugar Co.
The indieations are that frssshoppers
bid fair to bs very much in evidenes this
wear, and every effort should be made TO
eoatrol them.
The burning Of dry rubbish in bitches
sad aloaf fesee rows will destroy lrest
numbers Of them. Poison bait placed
sloat fence rows, bitches and the edges
Of deserts or dry lands, has been very
successful in many localities during re-
cent years.
Ths bait which has proved most at.
trsetive and most deadly to the younf
trasshoppers consists Of the following
MIXTURE:
l ID. Paris Green, 2 lbs. salt, mixed
thoroughly with 80 lbs. Of fresh horse
manure, with water enough added to mix
easily. This can be mixed in q WAGON
bed by means Of shovel or wooden pad
die, and then scatter broadcast alons the
edte Of the crop or wherever needed.
In the event that the trasshoppers have
aot yet made their appearance, it is we'll
to scatter the mixture along ditch hanks,
fence rows and edges Of desert or dry
lsnd.
Locusts are attracted to it and are
killed in large aumbers by eating the
poison. Altho the mixture is sure death,
It sometimes requires from 2 to days to
kill the locust.
YounG 9rasshoppers are particularly
susceptible to this bait.
Prompt and decisive action in fighting
this pest will accomplish much.
II the farmers in this vicinity will man.
ifsst the same spirit that they did ON
Good Roads Day and each do his share
to fight this pest, we bespeak much for
the attempt. However, II only few
isolated attempts are made, little good
