MORE REASONS FOR HOPE.

| Several things have happened this
week in the matter of beginning work
of construction on the Oroville-Pater-
os end of the Oroville-We
branch since last week, the principle
of which is the arranging for living
quarters for G. N. Engineer, Bert Hill,
who is said to be in charge of the
field crew that will repair the grade
| and lay the steel. Mr. Hill is expected
in the last of the week and as he was
| one of the engineering force on the
| first railroad work here at Oroville
he will be warmly received by his
many loyal friends. Mr.. Hill married
an Oroville lady, Miss Alma Shafer,
so he has relatives as well as friends
to welcome him back. Besides the
knowledge of Mr.. Hills arrival A. H.
Overman returned home Tuesday ev-
ening and report has it that he will
be again one of the office force and
will be able to remain with his family
here all winter. And again the persis-
tent report keeps coming in that steel
is actually arriving at Grand Forks,
b. c., for this work out of Oroville,
but we have been unable to confirm
this last though the foundation for it
seems very authentic.
appeared in the Gazette last week of
the laying of rails in December an
item in the Spokesman-Review veri-
fed the report, and stated that the
contract for laying the steel from Oro-
vile south had been awarded to Guth-
rie & Co., the we'll known railroad con-
tractors. Friday last representatives
of Guthrie & Co. were in Oroville, but
for what purpose could not be learned
On top of these signs and portends
the following item appeared in late
issue of the Wenatchee World. Now
If actual operations will only confirm
the persistent reports the people ct
this upper country will feel happier in
the outlook for bright and prosper
GUS new year:
There are indications of truth in
the dispatch published in the Daily
World last evening regarding the i'm
mediate laying of rails on the Great
Northern roadbed between Oroville
and Pateros. At first blush it was
natural to reason that the company
would not delay this work until after
shipping season ends, then proceed to
put down steel. Laying rails on the
entire line from Wenatchee to OrOville
could be accomplished in two months
when everything is ready for the task.
1t therefore seemed foolish to an
nOunce that steel would be laid for
the upper end of the line before the
whole is finished. For this reason the
World gave no prominence to the dis
patch last evening.
"A Great Northern official today
confirms the announcement, however.
He declares that orders to prepare
bridges between Oroville and Pateros
have been given and that all indica-
tions point to immediate activity. This
official places no emphasis on the ar
gument that if rails were to have been
laid at all this season, it would have
been done two months ago in order to
haul out shipments of grain, fruit and
stock He says, large bodies move
slowly and that the Hill line has been
intending all the time to lay steel just
as soon as the work came in it's regu-
lar order"

DR.. E. E. Elmer arrived in Oroville
Friday last with all his household
gods and goods, from Nelson, for the
purpose of taking up his permanent
residence, stepping into the place
made vacant by the removal of DR..
Schwabland. DR.. Efners family con-
sists of wife and child. The doctor
is no stranger in Oroville, having
practiced in the near neighborhood for
several years, and he has the reputa-
ton of being skillful physician and
surgeon. Having unfortunately lost
DR.. Schwabland the people of this
place are fortunate in securing such a
worthy successor in the person of DR..
Elmer.

he tries too hard, gets out of his stride,

FIELD AND KENNEL

The meeting OF local sportsmen held
ton for holding a field trial meeting in the
District of Columbia next fall was a most
enthusiastic one. Some twenty-five or
thirty sportsmen were in attendance
but this number IN no way represents
those who advocate and promise their
weather was unfavorable and many in
terested in the sport were unable to at
tend. but sent their assurances of hearty
cooperation, and il may be taken for
granted that a field trial meeting will be
held here during the latter part of No
vember
The meeting was opened with most in
teresting address by DR. T. S. Palmer. as
sistant chief OF the biological survey, in
charge OF the game preservation bureau,
who explained the great work that the
government is performing in its efforts TO
protect and preserve the game and have
uniform game laws in the different states
forcibly that here in the District We are
far behind the other sections of the coun-
try in laws that tend To- restrict the I'M
portation and sale of game, and empha-
sized the fact that fewer restrictions are
placed on the sale of game in this city
than in any other section of the country
He urged on local sportSmen general

shorten the season in which game can b.

dollars on untrfed material, hoping the
harvest will produce q couple of players
able to step at the major league pace?
What recruits will prove the. Alexan-
ders and Greggs Of 1912? At the present
the fans are being RECALLED with news
from the training Quarters exploiting the
many valorous deeds Of the new recruits.
These stories read good to the enthu-
siasts, give them a touch of the spring
fever and make them banker for the
opening Of the season. but. after all.
they prove very little as to the relative
merits of the various players. They must
go the route in the big show before
fandom will accept them as regulars.
If one could believe all that is being
written about the new players 1t would
be necessary to order sixteen pennants
at once. However, many a youngster
who is getting lots Of attention will draw
a return ticket shortly before the open
ing of the season. Many will show the
ability, but will lack the experience. n
few more years in training off the rough
edges will make a star of many young
player who will be turned loose this
spring. Therefore it behooves any new
player who is sent to minor league
club for more seasoning not to get dis
couraged, as many or the present-day
stars have gone through just such an
experience.
Great Player Takes Big Part.
There is no denying the prominent part
really great player can take in the
success of q bill club. Joe Jackson and
Vean Gregg. two sensational recruits
who have made good right of the reel,
have added untold strength to the Cleve-
land club Jackson by his all-around
work has won many a game that might
otherwise have gone into the discard.
Vean Gregg by his mastery pitching has
annexed many a victory to the Cleve-
have gone into the games-lost column.
1t is almost impossible to realize what
part high-class pitching plays in the sue
cess of a club. Not only does 1t make
the getting of runs very difficult mat
ter for the opposition. but incidentally 1t
inspires a confidence in the team that is
sadly lacking when some HEAVIER or
mediocre ability is on the mound.

season 1ast~year, while the proWess or
