IMPORTANT TO FRUIT GROWERS

An article published in another COL
umn OF this issue over the signature of
w. c. Muldrow contains food for re-
Election, and should appeal to every
land owner In the valley. The prob
lem of fruit growing in this valley is
solved. 1t is no longer a matter of
speculation. The simple process of
planting trees and caring for them
with some degree of intelligence in
sures ample returns in the way of
production. The greatest problem now
to solve is the marketing of the fruit
after 1t is produced. A market is the
important desideratum, and the solu-
tion requires united and intelligent
action on the part of those now having
fruit to market, or who may have fruit
to sell a few years hence. Mr.. Null
drow makes an appeal to the fruit
growers of the OkanOgan valley that
should meet with prompt response
and early action. 1t is vital matter
to the fruit grower, and they should
take 1t up one with another and de-
wise some line of procedure that will
be most liable to bring about results.
Dan Mulcahey, the laird of Palmer
lake, and one of the most genial old
timers on the list of Okanogan pio-
neers, was in Oroville over Tuesday
night, exchanging Christmas greetings
with his friends.

AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

1t is the custom of the local paper
at the close of the year to devote
much space to a resume of building
operations for the proceeding twelve
months, and to dwell unctiously upon
the progress of the town or city, and
trifie of exaggeration at that time
is looked upon with generous tolera-
tion. The Gazette can hardly point
with pride" to the building record of
1912 in Oroville, and is barred from
indulging in an elaborate table of en-
penditures along lines of improve
ments, on account of the paucity of
figures available. The dying year left
no record of progress over which there
Is room to throw fits. Building did
not come up to the expectations that
were paramount one year ago. The
boom expected got sidetracked some
where en- route. However, the town
did not stand still, even if it did not
forge to the front by leaps and bounds
Several new residences were con-
structed, one business house, and
there was slight increase in the pop
ulation Neither the growth nor aug
mentatiOn of population came up to
the expectations cherished a year ago,
yet it is satisfaction to know that
whatever movement that was made
was in the forward direction. But the
people are not discouraged, and the
way the town did not grow the past
year will be forgotten in keeping track
Of the rapid growth during the coming
year. This is not dream superin-
duced by a pull at the pipe. 1t is in
the cards, and is sure to come out in
the deal. We only trust we will be
here a twelve month hence to be able
to say I'VE told you So" The dope
is worth taking long odds on Oro-
Vile will make a start early in 1913
that will continue on Indefinitely The
branch road to the south will be COM
pleted and in operation. Trains will
be running through on the main line
to the coast. The natural sequence,
and one there is no getting away from,
Is that here will be railroad division
point. and that means many new
people and a fat pay roll. Work will
be started on the big irrigation pro-
jects that will water every available
acre in the valley for miles around
OrOville, and people will be coming in
clamOring for this fertile acreage and
will not be denied. Several new in
dustries are to be started. A number
of substantial business blocks will be
erected, a lot of modern residences,
and as the spirit of Improvement
moves men the building fad will be-
come an epidemic and the change of
a few months will be marvellous The
outlook was never brighter at any
stage of the game since the town was
first settled, and when it once starts
this forward movement cannot be
headed off.

WEDDING AT LOOMS,

Clarence Webb Hurley and Miss Le-
la Lenora Long two well known and
very popular young people of
Loomis, were united in marriage
at the home of the brides parents
Saturday evening, Rev. Bowen, of Con-
conully, officiating. Only few of the
immediate relatives of the families
were present at the ceremony. Sun
day evening the parents of the groom
gave dinner to number of friends,
and the newly weds were given the
discordant serenade that is usually
forthcoming upon an occasion of this
kind. Mr.. and Mrs. Hurley will take
up the more serious problems of life
and go to housekeeping in the town
where they have lived so long.

GIVES UP THE RADBOURN.

Monday E. N. Grubb gave up the
Radbourn hotel building and moved
out his possessions. The Radbourn
hotel is concrete building, and was
erected some five years ago by DR.. c.
p. House. 1t stood empty after con-
structiOn for nearly year. Mrs
Grubb, at the time the building was
without tenant, was conducting a
hotel at Loomis. Mr.. and Mrs. Grubb
were induced to take charge of the
Radbourn, and secured a five years
lease on the premises, four years and
two months of which have expired.
Mrs. Grubb is an exceptionally en-
cellent cook, and with her looking af-
ter the cuisine, and Mr.. Grubb in
charge of the front office. the Rad
bourn soon became one of the most
popular hostleries in eastern Wash
ington. 1t was crowded to overflow
all the time, and no hotel of the same
size has ever paid better in this part
of the state. This business was Who'll
ly built up and held by the popularity
of the lessees. Mr.. Grubb needed larg-
er quarters. He tried to have the

MASQUERADE BALL.

Attention is again called, it being
the last oportunity, to the masque-
rade dance to be given by the band, in
Cummings hall, next Tuesday evening
which will cover the closing of the old
and the dawning of the new year. Let
it not be forgotten that this is to be a
fancy dress ball. A custom established
through years in Oroville is the CIV
ing of one mask ball every winter
Numerous organizations have been
benefciaries through the mask ball
stunt in the past. The band will en-
joy the income from that source this
time. A mask ball Is always draw
ing attraction, because there Is about
as much fun playing the wall flower
and guessing the identity of those in
costume as it is to rig out and cut
capers on the floor. One can predict
with safety that the dance next We'd
nesday night will be the best attend
ed of the winter season. And that is
the way it should be, as the band Is
deserving of all the support that can
be thrown its way. See that you gel

RAILROAD OPERATIONS.

The railroad situation at this point
is indicative of determination on the
part of the contractors to go right
ahead with construction regardless OF
weather conditions as soon as all ar
rangements are adjusted. There is
little change in the situation since our
last issue, only that the time of be-
ginning is that much nearer at hand
There is great activity in the yards,
and about every day marks additions
to the accumulation of building ma
terial that is being assembled pre-
paratory to the forward movement.
An extra train crew is on duty shunt-
ing cars to and fro every day, and a
force of railroad construction hands
is working in the yards and at the end
of the from which point the road is
to extend southwark. The track lay
ing machine arrived the latter part of
last week, and big consignment of
rails is on the ground. The actual
laying of ties and spiking of rails will
commence the last of this week or the
first of next, or at least that was the
plan at the time of going to press
When the start is once made steel will
be stretched down the valley very
rapidly, as the machine that does the
work fairly walks over the ground. 1t
is given out that building will go on
regardless of the nature of the wealth
er, and if it does not become worse
than it has been so far this winter
track can be laid as easily and rapid
ly as in summer. Just how far the
track will be laid at this time cannot
be stated, but Judging from the quanti-
ty of material here one would be led
to believe that it is the intention to
carry the steel through to Pateros.

building enlarged, and made efforts to
buy or lease adjoining property so he
could build himself, but without sue
cess. Last spring having an oppor-
tunity to lease the Peerless hotel, Mr.
Grubb took over that establishment,
and ran the two hotels in conjunction.
1t is. his aim to build a large brick
hotel in the spring, the foundation for
which has already been excavated.
Mr.. Grubb gave up the Radbourn up
on the demand of the owner, who, so
report has 1t, will transfer the build
ing into hospital as soon as neces-
sary interior changes are made. Mr..
Grubb has enlarged the Peerless din
ing room and arranged for as many
sleeping apartments as he lost by the
surrender of the Radbourn, SO that
the travelling public Is assured of ac-
commodatiOns.

SHOULD BE REMEDIED.

There Is no station on the railroad
between Spokane and this point where
more mail is handled than right here
in Oroville. and there is no station on
the line of the road where the railroad
authorities have been so Indifferent
in the matter of providing adequate
means for transporting the mail be-
tween the depot and the postoffice,
which Is a part of the contract with
the government. The means in use
for doing the work is dinky little de-
crepit hand push cart, both awkward
and difficult to handle. The general
public does not understand how in
sufficient such a miserable means is
for doing the work necessary to be per-
formed. Express Agent Tilley is COM
PEELED to shove the cart over to the
postoffice empty and back loaded be-
fore the $50 train goes east in the
morning, and repeats the operation
for the west bound at $40 a. m. The
mails have to be delivered to the post
office by the same method when the
trains arrive at night, no matter the
hour. The loads are always heavy, for
this is the distributing point for a
vast range of country, and some times
several trips must be made to transfer
all the mail. Eighty sacks, four of
them registered pouches, arrived on
Monday night, and it required five
trips with the push cart to deliver the
collection to the office. Two trips for
a single train are not infrequent. which
Is working great hardship on the
agent, especially as he must see to
checking out all the baggage, and
travel from this place is quite heavy.
For the good of the public service it
would seem that the railroad officials
would make other and better arrange
ments for handling the mail at this

DON'T SKIP THIS CHANCE,

Attend the Civic League whist party
at Cummings hall this evening if you
want to put in two or three hours in
round of pleasure and at a very
trifiing cost While the object of
these parties is of social nature, de-
vised to pleasantly while away the
long winter evenings, the aim also is
to raise funds, and the funds raised
are to be applied to improving and
adorning the highways, byways and
waste places about town. And from
the frayed out appearance of said
highways, byways and waste places it
is evident that they can stand good
deal of improving. The cause and the
game are such as should draw out the
major portion of the community.

WANICUT SCHOOL EXERCISES,

A very long and interesting pro-
gram was rendered by the pupils of
the Wanicut school on Christmas eve
and their teacher, Mrs. H. H. Fellmy,
is entitled to much credit for the sue
cess of the entertainment.
The program was enjoyed by a
large number and at its close a lovely
tree was freed of it's many gifts.
A basket social then followed from
which the sum of $19.35 was realized.
The proceeds will be used in buying
library books. This school in the
month of November purchased forty
six new volumes and the pupils are
now patiently waiting for the new Or
der to be made ont.

A MEKKl ...ISTMAS.

Christmas was very generally OBJ
served as a holiday in Oroville, all
the stores being closed the greater
part of the day. Christmas happiness
entered into every home, and so far
as can be ascertained no child was
neglected. The town is fortunate in
having very few, if any, so poor as to
be unable to enter fully into the spirit
of the great holiday. The observation
OF Christmas prevailed more general
ly than ever before. The bright pros
poets of the town was an incentive to
liberality, and every business house
reports greater sales than at any
Christmas for years.
