Compound Interest
Has Earned More Than Speculation.

If you don't believe that compound interest has earned more money than speculation call and inquire or write to this bank, where money at interest is better than high-g stocks or bonds. It earns as much as safe se- curities, and the value of the principal never fluctuates; your money is al- ways worth 100 cents on the dollar, and your funds are always available.

CHILLY BATHING.

The general impression prevails that
the Indian is inclined to shirk water,
that is shirk it's use as an exterior ap-
plication for the removal of dirt. This
impression is an injustice to the red
man according to story that j r.
Eaton tells. During the prevalence of
bitter cold weather fortnight ago Mr..
Eaton was down the valley after cattle
His attention was attracted to fire
near the river bank, and as the absOrp-
ton of little heat was comfort
worth going short distance to enjoy
Mr.. Eaton strolled over to the blaze.
Judge his surprise upon reaching the
river to see half dozen Indians, as
destitute of clothing as the moment
they were born, in bathing. They
would sit on the edge of the ice that
fringed the water, slide in, paddle
around and then walk up the bank
through the snow to the fire. When
they dressed their hair was frozen so
stiff that they had to hold their heads
over the flames until the ice thawed
sufficiently for them to put on their
hats. 1t required some nerve to take
a plunge out in the open in such in
tensely cold weather as prevailed at
that time, and the story sounds some
what snaky, although Mr.. Eaton
yOucheS for it.

AvO|CE FROM THE SOUTH
ADVISES THE PEOPLE OF THE
OkANOGAN VALLEY TO STAY
WHERE THEY ARE.
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE
And BE Thankful for Opportunities
That Fortune Has Favored
Them With.

A young man, formerly resident of
Oroville, who went to Texas from here
some months ago, writes back to a
friend that those living in the Okanog-
an valley would do we'll to stick to
the country, for they are better off
there than they would find themselves
in Texas or any other state. He wish
es 1t distinctly understood that he is
not knocking" Texas, as he intends
remaining there, yet the conditions for
securing the best results from irriga-
ton. he insists. are far better in Okan-
Ogan county than they are in the Lone
Star state.
This advice is good, and should be
carefully weighed by any one cOntem-
plating a change of residence In the
west people are not settled down and
permanently located as they are In the
older eastern states. A disposition Is
prevalent to try first one place and
then another. The aim and object is
a bcttermen: Of financial conditions. OF
course alhough improvement does not
always follow transfer OF residence
1t does not invariably result that the
permanent stone accumulates moss,
yet 1t is q generally accepted fact that
the friction resulting from Il stone in
motion precludes the possibility of its
gathering moss. The application of
the old proverb to those whofit from
place to place searching for that they
rarely find Is pertinent. Those who
settle down in any country and stay
with 1t have the greater chance OF sue
cess. and the man hunting for per-
nanent home, in locality where the
chances are altogether In his favor
4 n 60, nd y.Nr rob n n
before finding anything that will sur
pass the opportunities that exist IN
this valley for those willing to stick
and try. A man must not expect to
get rapid action on his money, or
speedy returns for the exercise of his
abor, but this is country with an ex-
ceptionaliy bright future, and those
who elect to make their home here and
are willing to remain with it are GER
tain to get ahead in material way.
They cannot escape prosperity If they
put forth any effort, and the man who
will not make an effort can succeed
in no country, no matter how favorable
the advantages.
Those who are established in Okan-
ogan cOuny should let well enough
alone. They might do better some
where else, but the chances are alto
gether against their doing so. In turn
ing their back on Okanogan valley the
seeker after new fields leaves GER
tainty for an uncertainty. People are
not prone to take advice. They prefer
to secure knowledge via the hard
knocks OF experience. 1t is an expen-
sive school. 1t would be we'll to bark
en- to the voice coming out of Texas
III you know when you are well of
you will stay in Okanogan." And
stay.

CHARITABLE LOOMS.

Some time ago Henry Collins, col

been a fixture for a number of years
was thrown from horse sustaining
an injury of the nerves at the elbow
of the right arm such an extent that
the hand has since been useless. This
worked a great hardship on Collins
who, Notwithstanding he is minus a

energetic. When he stopped 1T Loomis
on his way home from ConcOnully, DIR.
Fred Whitaker, of Republic offered to
treat Collins free of charge If the res
idents OF the place would send him
over, promising to restore the use OF
the hand and arm. AS the charitable
residents of Loomis never YET failed to
respond to a call for aid the old col
ored man will no doubt be sent to Re-
public ard when he returns he will De
able to care for himself. as he always

MODERATE PUNISHMENT.

The case of DR.. e. E. Elmer, the Mol
son physician, was tried before Judge
Neill Friday DR.. Elmer was before
the court on charge of selling liqour
in dry territory. The case has attract
ed much attention in this part of the
county. where the accused has lived
for years, and where he bears an ex-
cellent reputation both as a physician
and citizen. 1t would appear from the
statements in circulation that DR.. Eff
ner made no secret of the fact that he
sold liquor on occasions, not to to-
pers for riOtouS consumption but for
medical purposes that he made the
sale. There could be no eXtenuating
circumstances to mitigate the tranSac
ton. Only one witness was called.
He was farmer living a number of
miles from Nelson. He purchased
whiskey and quinine at the same time
from DR.. Elmer, to be used for medi-
cal purposes, as he was not slave to
the demon and hence did not make the
investment for bacchanalian purposes.
Dr. Elmer admitted having supplied
both the drug and the poison. That
was all he testimony taken. The jury
retired, and within few minutes re-
turned a verdict of guilty. A fine OF
$75. and costs, was taxed up against
the prisoner. Judge Neill stated that
he made the fine moderate as the pri
soner did not appear to him to be a
common law breaker, and it was the
first time he had ever appeared in
court on such charge. He impressed
it upon the doctor that if he was ever
brought to the bar again on a similar
charge, and found guilty. it would be
necessary for the court to pronounce
fail sentence, as the judge had no
other option
1t is stated by those who were pres
ent that the prosecution intimated that
it was the desire to prosecute DR.. Ef-
ner on the other charges held against
him, but in spirit of justice that
should animate every judge called up
on to sit in judgment upon the errors
O. weak mortals, Judge Neill declared
that he had come into Okanogan coun-
ty to prosecute and not persecute
wrong doers, and therefore would dis
miss all Uti1er charges filed against the
accuSpd

WHAT 0ROv|LLE NEEDS
\ LARGE NEW CONVENIENTLY
APPOINTED MODERN PUBLIC
SCHOOL BUILDING.
THE town BEHIND THE TIMES
Ia the Matter Of Proper AccOmlnOda
tiOns for Both PuUi!s
and Teachers.

The last issue of the Tw'sp News
contains picture of the new public
school building just completed in that
place, and it puts a resident of OrO-
vile to the blush when looking at it
and drawing comparisons between
that structure and the tumble down,
shabby, ancient frame edifice without
a redeeming feature, that does duty as
school house in this place. Last
TALL, while making a trip across the
state, the editor of this paper was par
ticularly attracted b the up-tO-date,
neat, roOmy school houses in evidence
at every town along the route, and he
could not help but feel ashamed of the
poor excuse for a school house in use
la his OW n town. Take it even closer
at home and there is hardly town or
hamlet in the county that cannot boast
OF better accommodations for school
children than Oroville. The exterior
OF the local school house is repulsive
While the arrangements on the inside
seem to have been planned especially
for the inconvenience of scholar and
tcncher. 1t is barn of building,
cold, cheerless and unsanitary. 1t is
anything but credit to the Town that
Is holding out Inducements tc new set
tiers, for here is vitality important
inducement lacking, as no man with
family cares to locate i'll place
wnere the school facilities are neglect
cd.
This paper has long urged a new
end improved public school building.
There is room for it; there Is burning
need of it. School accommodations are
already inadequate, and yet instead OF
making permanent provisions for the
growing demand any make shift is re-
sorted to The Twisp school building
Is of brick. with stone basement and
fo, ndation. That is the lind of a
building that should be ere cted in OrO-
lille. While building build for the
future as we'll as the present. Place
the building at some central location
where attendance is not II nArdship on
the children. An improvement of the
Find would mean the addition of deb-
to the district but there i; no other
way of suppling an existing necessity.
Let the residents of the school district
take this matter into consideration.
Everybody realizes that a new school
house must be provided. There may be
! a difference of opinion where it should
be situated. 1t is time the pop IlatiOn
should bury these petty differences
end work together for common end
end that the betterment of the entire
community. Nothing would aid more
TO the attractiveness of the town than
handsome school house IN a slightly
location. Nothing would contribute
more strongly toward attracting peo-
pie to Oroville than roomy sanitary
nodernly constructed schoo! building

WANT FREE ADVERTISING.

Every mail brings to this Office from
one to dozen typewritte letters, or
circulars, sent out from a multitude Of
organizations to the country press,
with request that they be published.
Commercial clubs, public institutions,
deelopment leagues, ambitious poll
tlcians ready to sacrifice themselves
upon the altar of their country, employ
rress agents to grind out columns of
stuff for publicity purposes Much of
it is no doubt good reading for those
interested in the subjects treated but
there are very few so interetesd. Most
O. them are sent out in the hope of Sc
curing advertising space for nothing.
There are actually enough of these
circulars received to fill the columns
OF small daily. Some papers must use
these letters, or they would cease to

encourage this free advertising graft Is
beyond understanding.
