NEW TOWN OFFICERS.

The newly elected tow officers en-
terel upon their duties with the meet
ing OF the town council Monday night.
Withthe expiration of terms and res
ignation of rormer elected members of
that body the council as now consti-
tuted Is made up of almost wholly
new and untried men. AS there is
nothing complicated in the duties of
a co .ncilman, except the exercise of
common sense-which some times and
with some people is a complicated af-
fair-it will not be difficult for the
new members to adjust themselves to
the responsibilities that they have as
sumed The one thing they will find
it impossible to accomplish will be
the leasing of everybody, but so long
as they stand for the best interests of
the Town. without fear or favor, treat
ing all alike, discriminating against
no class or section, they will be up
held by the better element of the COM
muuity. This paper believes that the
new officials go into Office with the
aim 10 do all in their power for the
advancement of the place. Men may
diffef in their political views,and have
ideas on questions of public policy
that may not exactly conform with
those of their neighbors, for that is
human nature, but every citizen who
is w,rthy to be classed as a citizen,
is loyal to his home town, and will
be careful not to neglect to sieze ev-
ry opportunity to accomplish that that
prop ises to benefit the community in
which he lives. All the members of
the council have been identified with
OroEile Tor a number OF years; they
own roperty here; have faith in the
future of the town, and will use their
best tndeavors to aid in the towns ad-
vancement. The council will always
receive the cordial support of this pa
per in we'll doing, but it reserves the
right to criticize any acts of the body
ifthe occasion arises-which is not
antjclpated-tha would indicate a
disposition TO use the power of Office
to the detriment of the welfare of the
town and the people thereof.

w. Ii. Thomas, who is largely in
terested i'll the Golden Chariot mine,
located a short distance north of Oro-
vile on Goat mountain, an offshoot of
Kruger mountain, has spent several
weeks at the mine assisting at doing
the annual assessment work. He fin
ishcd his labors a few days ago and
left Thursday morning for his home
at PenaWaWa, this state. The Golden
Chariot has long had reputation of
being a meritorious property, and in
the process of exploitation that has
been carried on for several years
choice ore in large quantities has been
uncovered. This ore runs high in
gold and copper, the total values OBJ
tanned from tests running we'll up in
conf1cd to picked samples and ordi-
nary assays. Ore has been shipped
from the mine in car load lots, and
the returns have been very flattering
and encouraging. However, the cost
of transportation, that included wagon
and rail haul, and treatment is so
great that the owners of the mine did
not consider themselves justified in
Keeping up shipments, as all the labor
ana product went ont to meets expcn-
ses. But the advantageous showing
of the past is eclipsed by the present
showing resultant from the work re-
Gently performed. Mr.. Thomas states
that ne now has twelve foot ledge,
in place between well defined walls,
in the incline, ard fully six feet OF
this biG ledge is a pay streak He left
at this office a piece of the ore taken
from the ledge as now exposed that is
strongly mineralized, and both ap-
pearance and weight indicate the pres
ence of metal in large quantities. More
attractive ore has not been exhibited
here in many day, and the sample
would indicate that the Golden Char
lot people have a mine worth owning.
for lack OF funds to open this property
on scale that appearances would
warran. Every indication points to the
presence OF very large ore body, the
average value of which is high, and
those values established beyond room
for Goubt or question. A few thous-
and dollars iudiciOuSlv Snent would
in all probability make producing
and paying mine. No producing mine
at th1 stage of development that the
Golden Chariot has now reached, ever
heldo'.t better promise of making
dividend payer. Even in it's present
extent of exploitation if there was
treatment plant near at hand the Col
den Chariot could be made to pay op-
eraJtageXpenses until greater depth
had been obtainetd when the property
would in addition pay the operators
handsomely. The present work is be-
ing done at a depth of 800 feet on the
ledge. With the mines on Kruger
mountain, and those to the east and
west of us, in a state of idleness from
the lack OF convenient and accessi-
bic loans OF treating the ores it looks
as though a smelter at Oroville would
be 4 paying investment and be the
means of making a number of paying
mines in this immediate vicinity

TEMPORARY HOLD U
THE MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE
TWO IRRIGATION DISTRICTS
UNDER STATE LAW
SUFFERS A BRIEF bACKSET
But u Is Promised That the Difficulty
will BE Properly Adjusted on
January s5.

Brief mention was made last week OF
the hitch in the proceedings before the
county commissioners relative to the for
nation of the proposed east and west
Okanogan valley irrigation districts
The explanation vas short because the
delegation representing the signers of
the petitions j. F. Samson, l.. l.. Work
and Chas. F. Sigrist, who appeared be-
fore the commissioners on behalf OF
the projects, did not return home until
Thursday last. 1t seems that the en-
forced delay was caused by the failure
CT r. e. Picken, acting for and on Dc-
half of the east side petitioners, to Sc
cure the transfer of the names from
the original petition asking for In,
formation of a single district to the
petition that called for two districts,
as he was requested and expected to
do. Let us consider his failure to per-
form the work assigned him a case of
unintentional oversight, or d misun-
derstanding, and say no more about 1t.
This matter will be finally adjusted on
the 25th of the present month, and that
to the satisfaction of those most vitality
Interested
The pOstponment of action nv the
commissioners is most unfortunate but
Those behind the movement, which in
cludes practically all the land owners
in the valley on both sides of the river
under the ditch, will not rest until the
proposed irrigation plan is carried out
to a finish They are too much in ear
nest to lay down at this stage of the
proceedings; they have too much at
stake to permit the movement to end
where it commenced. This reclama
tion scheme is so far reaching in its
benefits; it means so much for those
holding land within the territory to be
watered, that there can be no suspen-
sion OF efforts until the object aimed
at is consunated.
The sympathy and support of the
county commissioners are with the Pc
titioners. That body realizes what the
irrigation of such a large body of land
means not only to the individuals I'M
mediately interested, but the county at
large. Ali that the commissioners de-
sire is that the petitions be legally cor
rect, and that the state law be strictly
complied with, so that there may be no
impeachment to securing the necessary
money and the carrying out of the pro-
ject when once started. AS evidence
that the commissioners are willing to
grant petitions for the formation of
irrigation districts it can be stated that
similar project set of foot by the peo-
pie living in the vicinity of Brewster
met with the favorable consideration
of the commissioners at the meeting
last week and an election was ordered.
With the east side petition properly
signed the commissioners will take the
same action on the 25th of January

How the years come and vanish!

How the years come and vanish!
When the Christmas bells have ceas-
ed their ringing we stand facing the
New Year which comes with noiseless
pace out of the future and we wonder
what it will bring us. We are certain
of one thing, that in our hands is vest
ed the power to make the year one of
character growth--If the old year has
brought to us failures with the new
year the tide may turn. Failure is
sometimes the stepping stone to COM
ing success. The past is gone but the
present is left us in which to work.
We must conquer difficulties and not
let them conquer us, then what was
considered possibility may become a
reality.
1t takes what seems much like druid
gerry to do Anything we'll. Let us dur
ing the newborn year take all the
good that lies within our reach. The
beauty and the glory of the world are
close at hand but some see nothing but
clay. Let us hold fast to duty. This
will be of value in the storm or in the
sunshine. The most successful life is
the one that has done the most for his
fellow man. Happy then is the man
who has that in his nature that acts on
others as the April sun on violets.

While living is the time to bestow
your love. Don't wait until the loving
heart has ceased its beating and the
tired feet are still to tell them you love
them. What can they know of your
words-of love, and praise, tears of
grief? Give them all the love you have
for them while they are living; it will
help them to bear the weary burdens
that come on so thick and fast. In
the home more especially is this true.
The poor tired wife is the packhorse.
Without one loving word, she tolls day
by day, raises the little children, cares
for the sick, until it seems as if the
delicate form could bear no more.
Never comes word of praise for try
ing to do her best. Yet there comes a
day when the feet go no more in the
home, the voice is still, there is deep
solemnity all over the place. Some
thing is gone. What is it? might
say your packhorse-yet I'll use the
name that should be sweetest, "Darl-
ing Mother, has gone. Life is blank;
wife, my love, my life, has left me!
All, mel home will never be what it
has been; mother and wife has left us!
If you could only say also, ~ never
gave her anything but loving words Of
praise, encouragement. lifted every
burden / could from her slight shout
ders."

tions; keep them. Don't make the
same mistake in 1912 that you made in

will be the last of your life and get all
the happiness possible out of it. Don t
lose your temper in 1912. You will
