have improved upon the several parts
as rendered. And, by-the-way, A. j.
Wickersham's parrot should not be
overlooked. She was part of the
scenery, and put in word a whistle

moments as though trained to take
part in he performance. When ac-
counts are finally balanced the Guild
will clear in the neighborhood of $1O0
which in measure repays the ladies'
for the enormous amount of labor that
was necessary in preparing for the
affair.
In this connection the Gazette has
been requested to express the sincere
thanks of the members of the Guild to
those who so kindly aided in prepar-
ing the hall for the bazaar, and ex-
tended other assistance that contrib
uted to the success of their efforts
Also to the public generally for the
liberal patronage bestowed.

A BIG ORCHARD.

BY tn end of the present week the
large force engaged planting trees on
the Ellis-Forde Orchard Tracts will
have the work completed, and then
there will be one tract in the valley, in
close touch with Oroville, containing
10000 trees. The enterprise of the
owners is attracting attention to the
upper Okanogan valley, and adding
value to every acre of land, improved
and unimproved. This great orchard
is being disposed of in small tracts,
and in a few years many families will
be enjoying prosperity from piece
of land where one family could hardly
exist in the past. The preparation of
this ground for planting the putting
out of trees and the installation of IA
mammoth pump has cost an enormous
amount of money, but the investment
will pay the projectors many fold in
the end And it should, as they are
taking all the chances, and it will be
through their energy and willingness
to spend vast sums that the land is re-
claimed from it's former barren state
and made all that is asked for it.

OF A PIONEER
DEATH CALLS LEVI WENTWORTH
AN OLD TINE RESIDENT
OF LOOMS.
CAME TO THE COUNTY IN 1883
Had Followed the Star Of Empire
From Coast to Coast for
Nearly Sixty Years.

Levi Wentw Orth died at his home at
Loomis early Wednesday morning and
was buried Thursday at 10 a. m., the
Rev. Geo W. Hurlbut officiating The
deceased was one OF the Oldest piO-
neers of Okanogan County both in
years and time of residence, coming
to the county "a years ago. and the
greater portion of that time was spent
at LOomis.
Levi Wentworth was born in Chau
tauqua county, N. Y, July 5, 1880, and
hence had reached the venerable age
of 81 years, 8 months and 5 days. In
1856, becoming possessed of the wes-
tern fever he moved to Minnesota, and
from that state to Iowa the following
year. In January. 1857. he was united
in marriage at Sioux City, Iowa, to
Miss Celia Meek, native of England,
who survives him. From Iowa Mr..
Wentworth crossed into Nebraska, at
time when the country contained
few settlers and was little known. At
the time of the civil war the Indians
commenced committing deqredations
on the border, and in response to a
call for soldiers Mr.. Wentworth en-
listed in the End Nebraska cavalry
with which he served in the Indian
wars under Gen. Sully. After he was
mustered out of the service. in 1864,
Mr.. Wentworth again turned his face
westward, moving to Colorado. There
he resided until 1871 when the cali of
the west became too strong and he
moved to Oregon, and from thence TO
Walla Walla. In 1888 he came to Ok
anogan couny where he has since re-
sided.
There were born to Mr.. and Mrs
Wentworth four sons and :hree daugh-
tcrs. The daughters are all dead, the
last of the three going down in the
wreck of the Valencia few years ago
when she was on the way from Cali
fornia to visit her parents The four
sons are John and William, living ar
Loomis, George living in British Co.
lumbia, and Burt, who resides in
Idaho.
In the old mining camp in which he
lived so long the deceased was a ia.
miliar figure, and while he had
reached an age when the end must be
expected at any time his death will be
sincerely regretted. He was kindly
and genial in his intercourse with fell
lOwmen, sturdy. law abiding citizen.

GOOD CROP PROSPECTS.

Il. B. Newland, the sage of Nelson
hill. was in town Monday, and gave a
cheering report of the crop prospects
in his neighbOrhoOd. 1t is trifle ear
ly in the season to determine the final
outcome, but the present indications
could not be better. Snow has disap-
peared gradually from the high lands,
sinking into the ground. Fall wheat
never looked better at this time of the
year. Mr.. Newland was. very opto-
mistic over the condition of things
He also stated that word had been re-
ceived from Washington that the long
drawn contest over the Nelson town
site had been decided in favor of the
applicants for government townslte.
This will indeed be fortunate for Moi
son. and may result in the building up
of a fiOurishing town at that point

The old Prize mine started worl,
on April 1st on it's new tram, under
the management of Lester Knauff. By
the-way. it Is not the Prize any more
II is now kwon as the Phoenix Mining
Milling and Smelling company The
Phoenix should make a paying mine
as heretofore large quantities of very
rich ore has been taken from its
workings.
The old Nighthawk mine has also
been through the divorce court, and Is
now known as the Ellemeham Mining
and Milling company. 1t is still under
the same local management, and the
usual force is still pushing the big
tunnel.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Campbell,
OF Chicago, and Al Riste are still spar
ing on a deal for the Golden Zone mine
and mill, with every prospect of sale
Let us hope so. for the Zone is a good
property, and with proper manage
ment can be made producer. TO all
appearances Mr.. Campbell seems to
be the proper man to make it winner.
There are several other mining
claims in the hills around the Similka-
meen valley upon which the owners
contemplate starting work in the near
future. II there are no setbacks this

two months. ....
There. Ia three or four times more
ground broke in the valley this spring
than ever before. Some spring grain
Is already up and looking fine, and all
seeding Is very near finished.
Last fall number of the ranchers
disked their meadows, and early this
spring went over them with the brush
harrow, and already the great i'm
prOvement can be seen, as the whole
valley looks like a well kept lawn.
On account of the mildness of last
winter there is lot of hay left over
from last season.
Stock is looking better than it u.s.
ually does at this season of the year.
Indeed, some of the cattle are fit for
beef. Horses are shedding the old
hair fast.
Joseph Hunnell, the popular clerk
at the Nighthawk store, took a well
deserved rest for few days during
the past week, and with his wife and
daughter, Miss Helen, headed for Oro-

EMPTY HANDED.

Special Agent John Level who con-
veys prisoners from places where
criminals are sentenced to serve time
to the penitentiary at Walla Walla,
was a departing passenger Monday,
east bound. Mr.. Level came to Con-
conully last week for the purpose of
taking two prisoners, Fred Bongard
and B. II. Marsh, under sentence, to
the penitentiary, but on the evening of
his arrival at the county seat the pris-
oners said au revoir to the sheriff and
disappeared in the cleaning. Hence
Guard Level departed empty handed,
regretting that he had not taken an
automobile from this place, and re-
turned with his prisoners the same
day. An arrangement of that kind
would have disconnected the plans of
the Jail birds, and prevented them
from taking French leave,
